Round 8 - Pleasantview - Goth Mansion

Henry Goth and William Dreamer

William Dreamer

Knowledge/GCS - Become Hand of Poseidon

 Currently a Protector of Whales

First wishes:  GCS wishes - Talk to Sim about, serve, make for Sim, influence someone to make, and eat.  Also wants to invite someone over.  William turned perm plat a long time ago via career LTWs.  He is Cassandra (Goth) Dreamer's only child and son, and Darren Dreamer's second son.  He looks very unhappy in his headshot photo because he was still crying over Cassie's passing.  Since his last name was not "Goth" he could not inherit Goth Mansion.  So there he would live out his days.  He is 14 days from aging to elder.

Henry Goth

 Knowledge - Become Education Minister

First wishes:  Talk about hobby, dance with someone, buy a drum kit, go ice skating, influence someone to clean and see rain.  Henry is the heir to Goth Mansion, and the Goth fortune.  His daddy is Alexander Goth, and his mama is Daisy Goth, a lady from Twiki Island.  Yes, genetics have not been kind to Henry, he definitely looks like his dad, not his beautiful ethnic mother.

Henry was last seen graduating from University.

The Breeding Pair

Lady Goth and Sir Philip Marlowe

There is also former breeder elderly cat Natalie Caliente, who will meet Grim this round.

So what happened in Round 7 in the Goth Mansion?  Well Cassie's husband Darren Dreamer passed to the great Sim Beyond early on.  Cassie was beside herself, of course.   She immersed herself at the robotics bench getting a gold badge, and building a Servo named Manny.  She gave it away to Emma Copur, Don Lothario's daughter as a peace offering.  Cymmi the cat also passed away, pressing William to go to the pet store and get a new breeding pair of cats, as Cymmi's mate Natalie was too old to have any more babies.  Alexander and Daisy came over to visit to have a last family reunion. William reached TOC in journalism, and wrote two books...and Cassie passed to the great Sim beyond at the end of the round.  So here we are!

William headed to bed right away, watching a Grim Party is exhausting.  Buh-Bye Cassie.

Henry fell in love with this beauty in University, her name is Ricki Wilkie.  Her parents are Brittany (Upsnot) and plantsim Silver Maple Wilkie .  Henry decided to invite her over to get a few wishes in.  She is still a YA in Uni, and will graduate this round.

Woah...looky at this.  Henry has rolled Marry Ricki.  He is surely in love with her at two bolts.  Ooh myyyyyy.....not this round buddy, but it is locked in for you.  This deserves a kiss!

ASimWen was amazed that these two had not ever kissed!  They were all over each other constantly in Uni.....but however, this was to be Henry's First Kiss.

***SMOOCH***

This lead to "WooHoo" for both Ricki and Henry. And so it was!

In the meanwhile William rises from bed and influences this nice professor lady who came over with Ricki to make grilled cheese sandwiches.

The next morning, Henry's desired field came up on the computer, and he took it.  Not like this household needs money or anything.  Of course Henry kissed Ricki goodbye before hopping on the computer.  His lovely stayed over night with him.

Henry left for work as a Senior College Professor feeling really good.  and wonders of wonders, he was promoted right away to College Dean of Students. 

Speaking of William...

New LTW - Become World Class Ballet Dancer

Another one down for William.  He just could not settle and make up his mind what he wanted in life.  So far at this state in his life he conquered Science, Journalism and now Oceanography.  Go you, William!

Henry and Ricki could not get enough of each other. She came over again to help Henry out with fulfilling wishes.  Soon enough, the visit turned to discussion about where they wanted their relationship to go.

Henry was very nervous as he got down on one knee.  He knew it was old fashioned.  How would Ricki react?

He asked her.  Would she?

She said yes....awwww!  ASimWen is really excited about the genetics possibilities between these two!  Ricki is odd enough herself having a plantsim for a dad.  Once she moves in the mansion will have a witch living there!  Fitting!

When Ricki wasn't visiting, Cousin William was  a great sounding board to fulfill wishes.  Hopefully it wouldn't be very long before it would not be a concern to get Henry's wishes!

William was working on nature enthusiasm by working on his dad's old garden plots.  My my but Darren Dreamer loved to garden.  The butler came in handy to take care of things when William was not available to take care of the plants.

Then it occurred to William, why not get a little romance in his life?  Why his uncle Alexander Goth had great luck getting a nice lady out of the wishing well, and that union resulted in Henry.

Townie Kea Johnson.  Woowoo...  Kea was fun for an afternoon distraction, but left when William suggested woohoo.

New LTW - Become a Mad Scientist

Well looky at you Henry!  He wishes to take after Grandpa Morty and go into science.  There is now no one in this house who's wishes need to be fulfilled. 

Weeelll who is this?  Why it is Uni YA Robin Wendland.  William's thoughts have turned to wanting to spend time with ladies.  Maybe Robin would be a better companion.  Later Henry told William there was nothing like being in love.  It was the best thing ever.

Henry's next desired job was not coming up on the computer, so decided to take this job.  You never know when a Grim phone would come in handy.

Speaking of jobs.  William knocks another career out...and now wants to go back into Journalism.  I have never seen a Sim roll a career LTW already completed.  Henry on the other hand decided to work on his chosen hobby of fitness.  He would much rather be on the ballet barre that William earned in the Dance career, and could nearly always be found heading for it.

Now this elderly cat Natalie was so tough she managed to protect her territory and beat up an offending wolf, much to the chagrin of papergirl Amy Jones.  They had her blocked on the porch while they were fighting.

But every cat has his/her party with Grim.

The butler was especially upset.  He would often pick up Natalie and play with her.  Poor Henry...but he really did not play with Natalie much.  William as the "cat man" of the house, but he was busy practicing his ballet moves on his career ballet barre.

Henry had a wish to max all skills, a great one for Knowledge Sims.  He lacked three cooking skills.  Well, there was enough eggplants to do this.  Plus he needed cooking for his job in Paranormal.

Go you William!  It has been a very productive week for you!  Usually a Sim can amass points to toward maximum nature hobby enthusiasm simply by sleeping in the tent.  However, the ghost cats on the lot Cymmi, Natalie and Alegra, would haunt the tent and wake William up, scaring him. Not a bad thing for his Knowledge Simminess...but bad for his hobby progression.  He resumed sleeping in his bed.

And we end this visit with the Goth Mansion with Henry finishing up Paranormal.  The Grim phone is in the basement.  Somehow it seems fitting to have that in the Goth house!

Summary

Well this was a relaxing play.  Sad that there couldn't be a fab wedding but that will happen next round when Ricki Wilkie will move into the house as the new Mrs. Goth, and bring all her witchiness with her!  It will be fun.  Henry went through two careers and is waiting for Science to come up on the computer so he can conquer a third one.  Natalie Caliente the cat passed away, and the two new cats on the lot, Lady Goth and Sir Phillip Marlowe contributed 8 new kittens to the neighborhood adoption pool.  I think I figured out why the pet pregnancies seem to be accelerating for me sometimes.  I think it is due to the Sim Blender I have on every lot.  I check to see how many kittens are on the way.  There is an option to 'accelerate pregnancy' which I do not chose, but I am wondering if simply bringing that up on the menu activates it.  These kitten's names were May, Columbus, Barnaby, Ben, Ryn, Jolie, Gary, and Carl.  Yup.  William finished up another career, earned the hobby plaque in Nature, and gained two girlfriends. 

Ending Wishes

Henry - Resurrect Natalie the cat, get struck by lightening, see a wolf, be saved from death, marry Ricki, and see ghost of Cassandra.

William - Go bird watching, catch a bug, talk about hobbies, inlfuence someone to make GCS, blog about Nature, and reach maximum enthusiasm in Nature.

Odd Pics Out

Not only did the ghost cats keep William awake while trying to sleep in the tent....Morty was relentless bothering Henry.  Ater all, Henry was trying to sleep in his bed. 

Next up is The Calientes!  Thanks for stopping by!
