Bianca Monty- Round1- House4

Bianca Monty is a Family Sim with a Lifetime Want to 'Reach her Golden Anniversary'.. She wants to be BFF's with her mum Isabella, have a baby, get married and be friends with Puck.
She's also having a breakdown...

I don't know what sent her over the edge, maybe her Dad dying? Oh well. The Doctor came and made her 'well'.

I decided to concentrate on her love life as she was in too bad a mood to do anything else and so she called up Kent Capp, they already had a good relationship and a couple of flirts later they were in love...

Bianca asked him on a date where she surprised him with an engagement over dinner.

                                      They shared their first kiss.


                  Wow Kent, you really shouldn't have!..... *rolls eyes*


So Kent here is a Knowledge Sim with a LTW to be Chief of Staff. He wants to marry Bianca and be her Bff, buy a bookcase and a fridge. (With his 235 simoleons? haha, I don't think so!).


Luckily Bianca's inheritance from her Dad's estate kicked in and she was able to buy some essentials and make her fiance a bit happier.


The next day they both rolled a wish to throw a wedding party- I flipped a coin, :)

                                                Aww sweet.

and look, as the happy couple posed for their photo Kent's sisters Regan (front) and Goneril (back) are going for a flirt with their husbands...
Weddings! They bring everyone together!

Well, y'know, for a moment or two anyway.
Poor Isabella Monty- she finds herself a victim to many a fight now Patrizio is gone.
This is a very one-sided party, all Bianca's relatives were busy/at work/school apart from her Mother.
Bianca got the last laugh when Kent became a Monty. :D

Bianca hopes to start her family straight away- only time will tell.

Meantime she'd taken a job in the Education career. Hmm, what to do?

Bianca you ol' snitch! No wonder everyone in Veronaville gossips about you!

Kent got into the Medical field and was soon earning his way up the scale.

He also likes to skill,

and fish,


and skill.


He met a wolf and then rolled a wish to become a werewolf.  He's very typically Knowledge.
If the want is there when we return, we may pursue it!


Bianca's pregnancy went ok, she kept herself busy.

On Friday little Jessica joined the family!

The next day she became a toddler...

and the day after that... Risky is working overtime!

Summary;

Bianca- quite a good week. After the initial breakdown a date was all that was needed to boost her moods and the rest followed naturally. I can't remember which level in her career she got to.
Bianca wanted to skill and make friends and meet new people to then make friends with. Quite limited wishes but easily fulfilled.

Kent- He basically wanted to skill, then skill some more. Easy too.

Jessica- still a toddler. :)

Summerdream- Round1- House 3

All Sim World's a stage, and all Sims in it are merely playables...

Heh- welcome to the Summerdream home. I love this home- the garden is a nightmare and so is the house/layout but I love it anyway.

In residence;

Oberon (adult)- Knowledge LTW- Chief of Staff.
Titania (adult)- Family LTW- Marry off 6 kids.
Puck (teen)- Popularity LTW- become The Law
Bottom (child)- Grow up.

Oberon and Titania both showed wishes to get married, and so Oberon popped the question...

and there's a party going on when the lot opens so why not make it a joint effort...

Puck fulfilled his wishes during the party- to make out with Hermia, influence someone to entertain/play with/talk to and to have a great party.

Bottom shows lots of wishes to skill, make friends, be swung, jump rope and be Bff's.

Oberon and Titania get little makeovers and enjoy lots of honeymoon time- only Risky knows if it's working. :)

I had them quit their current jobs in the Slacker field and got Oberon into Medical as soon as it appeared and Titania took up the Oceanography career.

They got invited out by someone and both went- it was a case of trying to keep the Capp's and Monty's apart....

Which never seems to work that well- I think the women are worse than the men!
It was a good outing anyway and changed up some wishes which were easy to fulfill for the day.

I love that this family have so many friends and Puck here knows most of them- he brings a new friend home from school every day.
He initially showed a college wish but it rolled away and hasn't returned.

Bottom has fulfilled wishes to have homework help, be best friends and bff's with Oberon and Titania and likes to skill and beat her friends' at games!


Ah what angel wakes me from my flowery bed?


Seriously love, do you have to say that every morning?!


Yes, risky is working!


Pregnancy is tough on Titania- she had to view her priceless vase to boost her fun so I could get in her in a good enough mood to fulfill wishes in order to energize.


Puck threw another party for his friends. He didn't invite Tybalt, which seems to stem the fights... He just had to keep Juliette away from Mercutio!


and in doing so got another best friend.


                                          He chats, she skills!


y'uhoh!


It's twins! Two boys I name Demetrius and Lysander.


Oh, so now you want to learn Parenting!
(wouldn't it be better for them to wish this during pregnancy?!).


                             On Sunday Bottom made a best friend.

                                   Just in time to grow up.


She rolled... ROMANCE! (typical- she is such a Knowledge sim!).
Her LTW is to become a Rock God.


Lysander and Demetrius had their birthdays too, and yay, they got elf ears!


Puck here reached the top of his Culinary career. In making friends with Ralph he got his 12th friend thus maxing his influence meter.

 
Summary- 

It was quite hard this week to keep everyone happy- and I didn't fulfill wishes for everyone on a daily basis- particularly Titania who was hard to keep happy in her pregnancy- and now we know why. hah.

Oberon- Get married, skilling- more skilling- friends, more skilling. Boring but easy. Hopefully he'll wish to train the kids next time. He's currently a Resident.

Titania- Have baby, make friends, skill, learn parenting, talk, entertain.
After having the twins she rolled a wish to have 10 kids. lol. I don't think she went to to work all that much.

(In all other times I've played the Summerdreams' bar once, they've always had twins- so I kinda figured it would happen).

Puck- probably the most fun to play- wanted friends, parties, best friends, bff's, influencing at parties. Good stuff.

Bottom- skilling, friends, winning games, homework, A+. It'll be interesting to see how she takes to Romance.

Monty Ranch- Round 1- House 2

In residence:-
Patrizio Monty-(elder)- Family- LTW- Marry off 6 kids (not!).
Isabella Monty (elder)- Family- LTW- to raise 20 kitties/puppies (eek!)
Mercutio (teen)- Popularity- LTW- Celebrity Chef
Romeo (teen)- Romance- LTW- Celebrity Chef

Patrizio Monty is head of the clan of Restauranteurs. He and Isabella both made careers out of it and their son Antonio too is in the business, although never seems that keen...
Anyway... Patrizio's initial wishes were to talk, make friend (done), get cooking & cleaning skill and serve food.

 Ever the Matriarch Isabella wanted to serve food (done), get cooking & cleaning skill, make friend and talk.

It's odd I know but Romeo too wanted to skill, also buy a bar, make out with Juliette, swim and meet someone new.

Mercutio wanted to meet someone new, make a friend, get creativity skill, get fit and go to college. 

Patrizio takes a leaf out of his arch enemy Consort's book and starts building back up his relationships with his kids (and grandkids).
I've played Antonio quite a bit- he's always broke poor guy, maybe this time around it'll be different.

Romeo invited Juliette over for a make out session but Tybalt turned up too- talk about over protective older brother!

Dude- that's the second time he's kicked your butt!

Romeo the ol' Romance sim instantly wanted to have 2 loves, so starts forming a friendship with Katherine the newspaper girl.

Are you a creature of habit like me? I've always felt the Monty ranch should have a pool and every time I play it, I always put it here!

                  Patrizio practises his best belly flop!


I decided to 'keep' Isabella (I'll elixir her) and go for her LTW. I created 2 cats this time instead of adopting. Star (yep the one with stars) and Stripe... heh.
They don't go near each other for a day.... :)


After ignoring them for a day their social had dropped so they had to play with each other- heh- and soon they were ready to 'try for babies'.


Someone else has love on their mind- although it's taking ages to get her
friendship- maybe she knows Juliette?

Patrizio is over the moon when he makes a best friend with Bianca. He's still working on his cooking skills and keeping up friendships with his grandkids.

The boys already had jobs in the Culinary field, Mercutio is one step ahead of Romeo.
They both bought friends home most days. (This house started on Tuesday- so 5 good days play).

On Thursday Patrizio and Isabella enjoyed a date.

It was the perfect date that Patrizio wished for...


But shortly after Death came floating by....

Poor Isabella took the loss very hard (ouchie at the -5K!), but Patrizio did well to leave any inheritance after just 2 days).

The boys got promoted to the top on the same day and collected their inheritance after work.

Isabella shed a tear but had already rolled a wish to fall in love. Sims! What are they like?!

 
                      Really? I paid 5K for a burglar?!


Whilst on her date she made best friends with her son, at least. Hey! She doesn't have to marry the guy, just fall in love with him!

We had a litter of 3- all orangy coloured so I called them Tango, Mango (2 boys) and a little girl, Peach.

Both cats now have jobs and Isabella is training them up.


Honestly Katherine, why did you come on a date with Romeo if you don't want to kiss him?!

So Romeo butters her up with a slow dance but look! Goneril Capp in the background covering her eyes... haha.

After he moved in for a smooch Regan turned up too- her and Goneril went between covering their eyes to gagging to sending negative signals all over the place...

Oh yeah, now that's what I call a date gift!

Mercutio is doing well with his best friends- got 5 now.

            eww Granny please!

 ok, he can buzz off now- at least she never rolled a wish to marry him!

First taste of elixir for Isabella.

Still busy training the cats-


So Wendy the store clerk is Romeo's 3rd date- and look! Juliette walked by and just swooned!

Oh ok, it took her a second or two to twig...

Inside the place Goneril Capp was scrapping with Antonio Monty! These enemy clans are excellent entertainment!
Antonio won- shame on you hitting a lady.

Romeo decided to take Wendy back outside for a kiss and then Cornwall Capp walked by and he did the same thing- hands over eyes- negative signs.

Of course Juliette and he had lost best friend status when he cheated, but he smooth talked his way out of her bad books (Wendy was inside at this point) and in no time at all they were best friends again and the furiousness had gone! Result!

As the taxi arrived to take him home he just spotted this- Wendy and Juliette going for it- I guess we'll never know who won- until the next time I visit Capp Manor anyway. :)


Summary-

Yeah, what a fun week. It was a shame about Patrizio but I wouldn't have had enough points for elixir for him at that stage anyway.  His inheritance will at least help out Antonio and Bianca when I play their lots.

Isabella- I figured I'm into pets at the moment after Pleasantview but wanted something different- it'll be interesting to see how the kitties turn out.
She never rolled a wish to get married (thank goodness) and is happy to serve food, talk, make friends, get skill and now praise/train cats.

Mercutio- He wants the friendships (maybe not Tybalt's eh?!). He also likes to eat spaghetti and omelettes, skill and meet new people. He no longer rolled college wishes.

Romeo- he's a Romancer for sure! Enjoyed his 3rd date already- I dunno if he'll be the settling down type- we'll see.  Wishes to fall in love/2 times/make out with 3 sims/go on dates/ skill/ eat spaghetti and make friends.
