Oberon Summerdream
Knowledge - Max All Skills |
Titania Summerdream
Family - Raise 20 Puppies or Kittens |
Aelita Summerdream
Family - Graduate 3 From University |
The breeding pair, Snookie and Mr. Huggles. Mr. Huggles is an elder cat, and Snookie is too old to have any more kittens. They have contributed 11 cats towards Titania's LTW. They will be able to stay on this lot through retirement. There is only 9 kittens left to go for Titania's LTW, plenty of time for Titania to bring in another breeding pair later.
So what happened last round in May of 2017?? Oberon was very successful in taking large strides to his LTW of max all skills by studying Physiology and exercising out his body skills afterwards. He now only lacks 2 skill points in cleaning and he will reach his LTW. He then studied up on what lifelong happiness is. Such a studious Sim! Fay Capp dropped by and bought a cat from the Summerdreams, one of Mr. Huggle's and Snookie's kids. Titania studied up on Couples Counseling, and won the hobby plaque in gaming. She then started on pottery wishes. Bottom (Summerdream) Monty came home to visit for a while with Barron in tow. And Aelita went shopping for new clothes and came across her brother Puck, who she had no relationship with. So she spent the evening at a restaurant with him, working the daily relationship score up to 100%.
Now...
LET'S PLAY!
Right away the kittens on the lot grew up. Their mom and dad are Snookie and Mr Huggles, as seen in the Capp Manor entry. Oberon called for Animal Control to come and get the cats.
Once Titania and Oberon took care of morning necessities, they talked about their hobbies, blogged about arts and crafts and games. Then Oberon decided to serve up some cheese cake. It was a good day for him. Titania managed all her wishes except for make pottery. It is locked in.
Aelita chose Pay fees...worked last time this came up in the game...
Oops! |
Barron Monty
Popularity - Wants to Become Media Magnet |
Titania immediately monopolized Barron's time as she had not seen her grandson since he was in elementary school. Oh my but the young man he was becoming! Barron talked to granny about all the new siblings at Monty Ranch. And this is why Titania didn't get in her last wish to make pottery. She spent all her time with Barron which is more important, in my humble opinion.
Aelita set out to fulfill her wishes to spend time with Fay Capp, but she called the wrong person over. This is Erlina Capp. At any rate it worked out, Aelita realized the wish to be BFFs with Erlina instead. This poured 4,000 points into Aelaita's aspirational coffers.
Following that, she spun up a wish for Snookie to learn "Come Here". Oberon worked on that while Aelita got caught up on her homework, she was two days behind. Once the command was learned, everyone went to bed as it was very late. Aelita did not get 5 wishes this day, but she did win the wish that was high points.
Tuesday was Titania's birthday. She made for a beautiful elder.
She and Oberon are throwing wishes, the same ones every day. Blog about arts and crafts, blog about games, play games. Titania wishes to make pottery every day, and Oberon tends to spend time with the cats. He taught Snookie to "Stay", fulfilling a wish for Aelita. She throws multiple wishes every day for the cats, and the same as mom and dad...blog about gaming, ect.
Titania and Oberon headed downtown to Hans Trap Door Corp to buy a couple of outfits. They are happenin' elders! Love these new looks.
Aelita became more difficult with her wishes. She is longing for spring when she can catch butterflies and firefilies. Her fun is always low when she gets home from school and needs to spend a great amount of time bringing it back up before she can even think about homework. One day Rosaline Monty (Juliette and Romeo's daughter) came over after school. Note Rosaline's blond hair, her mom Juliette probably is a blond like her sister Hermia. That is one thing ASim will be checking when that lot is played.
Come Thursday, Aelita managed all five wishes before the school bus came. 4 doing things with Mr. Huggles and Snookie, and play games on the PC. It is about time you be more reasonable, Aelita!
After school Aelita invited Fay Capp over for some girl time. Fay brought a "friend" with her. Not sure who that is...he didn't hang around long, as no one from the Summerdream home spoke to him or invited him in the house.
Oh, alrighty then. ASimWen checks the relationship, yes these two are in love.
The evening was spent talking and watching TV. Fay stuck around until about 9:00. Aelita headed to bed in a dark house, as Titania and Oberon had gone to bed early.
Friday morning Titania and Oberon did that elder thing and woke up about 3 am. Both of them had a wish to ask a Sim on a date. It was locked in for Titania, and Oberon used his. 5 wishes quickly done, only moving them into gold aspiration.
Aelita awoke wanting a kiss, a hand held game, wanted to play a computer game, and wanted to be flirted with. She was nearly starving so ate before school, then played a little Spore before heading out for the day.
Fay came over again after school. This was a very special day because it was Aelita's cake up day. She wanted Fay there for her special day.
Aelita had a party and invited her brother Puck and his wife Hermia, her sister Bottom and her husband Alon, along with their son and her nephew Barron. And of course Fay was there.
Alright. ASimWen didn't have Fraps running, the capture software the gets the pictures during cut scenes, so there is no grow up pic of Aelita as an adult. But here she is in a cherry print sundress. Somehow ASim just feels like this doesn't Aelia's personality, and will be going to the store to buy some new clothes.
The party goers spent all their time in the hot tub and playing games in the back. It was a "Good Time".
In the meanwhile Oberon and Titania drug themselves out of bed and headed to work at 10 PM while the party was going on.
Oberon was presented with a chance card.
Oberon figured he had a pretty good voice and started singing his lungs out.
NICE! The Summerdreams aren't big money earners, and have that big mansion to support. This will come in handy!
The two lovelies came home at Saturday 2 am and once again wanted to date.
It is spring time after all and the Summerdreams are bohemian hippy types who live by the "Power Of Love" philosophy. Five wishes in on both sides, then done.
Aelita thinking that she would never have children, and wanting to get started on her lifetime want of graduating three children from college put in her application with the adoption agency and was approved to adopt a child. He/she would be arriving on Sunday .
After the sun rose the Summerdreams headed out to H&M Veronaville, formerly owned by Consort Capp. This is where he made his fortune and realized his LTW to earn $100,000.
This guy approached Aelita out of the blue and struck up a conversation. He gave her a large screen television, just like that. After talking for a while, Aelita threw hearts for him. ?? ASim thought that Aelita was gay, but maybe not. Perhaps Fay was just a youthful fling. We will see what happens when Fay's lot is played.
Oh my look at this...the direction of the conversation. haha
Titania and Oberon made good use of the photo booth and engaged in some public woohoo. ASim finally found a MOD that fixed the broken woohoo in photobooth action (whereas the two Sims would *pop out* of the booth when woohoo was chosen from the pie menu) and it worked well.
Sunday Titania and Oberon had gotten enough of dating, and returned to talking about their hobbies and playing games on the PC for their daily wishes.
Around 9:00 Oberon called Bottom and her family to come over as it was a big day, a great day for a family reunion. A new member of the Summerdream family was going to be dropped off by the adoption agency and Oberon wanted to make sure everyone was introduced. Unfortunately only Bottom and Barron stuck around, everyone else left as soon as they hit the lot. Probably because They had not developed any relationship with Bottom's family? That would be Alon, Jackson, Elvis, and Eva.
At last 10:00 rolled around, and the social worker dropped off Andrew Summerdream.
Oberon was the first to get to know his new grandson. The two went inside the house, and smart milk as made for Andrew as he had none of his toddler skills and wished to learn to talk and walk.
Andrew slurpped down his smart milk in a hurry...he was hungry!
It didn't take long before he was walking and talking like a pro. It would take a little longer to get him potty trained.
Andrew was wanting to dance in front of the stereo that was blaring during the family reunion. Aelita moved him down where he could get close to it. And no wonder! Music and Dance was his preferred hobby! Nice to find this out early!
Soon the family reunion was over, and Aelita fufilled her wish to go on a date. This is Keith Cormier. He is the Sim whom Aelita chose on her birthday to grow up with her. Apparently there is a two bolt attraction here! A quick check of his stats shows that he is a Family Sim and has the same LTW as Aelita....Graduate 3 From College. Wow. They hit the bowling alley, a nice place to go on a first date.
This is the moment they fell in love. Oh my...it didn't take much.
Many wishes were fulfilled on this date, including "go bowling". Look there in the background! It is Spencer Monty, one of Isabella's adopted children, getting seated by the host.
Aelita thinks Keith is hot. Hm. Maybe she will end up having children after all. The date was a huge success, a dream date. Aelita headed home just in time....
to get Andrew potty trained. Oh the responsibilities of a mother!
Barron was the last one to leave the family reunion, not doing it until Aelita returned from her date, around 11:30. The nanny also showed up because there was a baby in the house again, and she was running on Titania's nighttime schedule. Barron loves spending time at his grandparent's house.
Alright then. So it happened that Aelita went on her date right before Oberon and Titania were due to go to work. They usually left at 10 pm. However it was later than that when Aelita returned home. Titania chose to walk to work, as her ride did not come. Oberon stayed home. Titania was punished for heading on in. She was devastated.
She begged for her job back. It wasn't her fault that she was late.
Whew! She was once again employed. However she was starting over at the beginning of the Slacker field as a golf caddy.
A date gift from Keith. Woo! It went right in Aelita's backpack, along with the television she received at H&M.
We end this visit with the Summerdreams getting in their last wishes before 7 AM Monday morning. Titania and Oberon with their usual make out session, and Aelita wanted to play games.
So this was a very interesting and fun play. Titania aged up to be a beautiful elder. Aelita indulged in a teenaged fling with Fay Capp, but it turns out that she is attracted to men after all, having started dating Keith Cromier who grew up the same day she did. He threw "get engaged to Aelita" during their date, but I believe Aelita was too tired to think about that as her energy was very low. It was locked in for him. While still determining her path in life Aelita adopted a son, Andrew Summerdream who will be the Summerdream heir. It still remains to be seen if she will adopt two more children to achieve her wish to graduate 3 from University or if she will go the traditional route and have them naturally. Andrew is as smart as a whip and learned all his toddler skills. Oberon was just sort of there flitting around in the background of everyone else's drama.
Ending wishes:
Oberon: Has kept a wish for Barron to win a scholarship, so it was locked in for him. He also wants to see a wolf, and command Cam to shake and come. Cam is one of Snookie and Mr Huggle's kittens and was sold to Fay Capp last round. Oberon is now 61 years old.
Titania: Wants to influence someone to garden, get a puppy or kitten, have a grandchild, and see a relative get married. (That's YOU Aelita!) Titania is now 59 years old.
Aelita; Kiss, get hobby plaque in gaming, flirt, and get hand held game. She is a brand new adult, not aging up to elder for 27 days.
Andrew: Learn a nursery rhyme, talk to and play with mom. Get creativity 3. Andrew will cake up in 2 days.
Odd Pics Out:
ASimWen has slowly been introducing default replacements into the game. Below is the nanny with her new duds and hair.
Almost good looking |
And this is a townie with default hair and clothes. Love it.
Andrew also has new default hair, I found a whole set for male toddlers. Very cool.
And that's it! Have fun everyone, keep on simming! Next is Kent and Bianca (Monty) Capp!

I enjoyed this very much! You have kept the Summerdreams in their original house; I didn't leave them in there long, as I found it very impractical to play with the front door being in a very odd place and some rooms so strangely cut and placed within the layout.
ReplyDeleteLove Titania's look as an elderly hippy lady! She and Oberon were a very loving couple in my game, too.
I've never come across the chance card Aelita had at school. Nice to see there is a young man around with the same LTW.
For the oddity of the front door I added a side door in the dining room with steps that cross over the ditch to the sidewalk. The Sims use that now which makes play much easier. Yes strangely cut rooms, I haven't done much with that!
DeleteThere is some great new custom content in your game Wen, loving it. I’ve always loved this house too, like the others a few tweaks makes them play more easily. I do the same with the door on this lot that you have.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Sims, each and every one, especially Aelita.
I am loving the new defaults too! Aelita has a default replacement hair. It is perfect for her!
DeleteLove this lot and this family. They have been fun to follow. I'm very excited to get to this family eventually in Megalahood, but I'm gotta get through this month of focus on Breeze Point first. :) I like the replacements too, never have tried to to that with anything.
ReplyDeleteYears ago I installed default replacements to the Maxis skin tones and that is all I used in forever. I have been watching a lot of TS2 let’s play vids lately and this one girl mentioned it and her Sims looked so good. So I started looking into it. I have issues every now and then. For instance somewhere along the line I lost the mesh for the NPC hair for the mad scientist. The one who walks on the lot and gives the membership cards and hobby plaques. I specifically have not messed with the service NPC hairs or clothes. So I have to figure out what is going on there. But otherwise I am loving it. If I see a townie who is redressed really hideously I use Simblender to fix them up.
