Regan Capp- Round 3- House 6

Welcome back to Regan's house. Her and Cornwall have the urge to woohoo, and who am I to stop them?

Other initial wishes were for Regan to talk to Puck and Tybalt and have a baby.

Cornwall's wishes were to tell an inside joke to Albany, max logic skill, get a creativity skill as well as reaching the top of the Architecture career.

Today will be Regan's last ride in her helicopter to work as she (finally!) found the Athletic career and will start tomorrow. Cornwall is working toward his own LTW of becoming a City Planner and is doing well so far.

Well he was until a chance card got him demoted.

 

The citizens of Veronaville never pass up the opportunity for a night out and so Cornwall & Regan took their outing to the Game Hobby Lot. (Lots of chess wants from them both soon gained them entry to the lot).

 

Regan's eldest niece, Juliette Monty can't resist showing off to Cornwall about her morning sickness. He and Regan are still having no luck in the baby department.

 

Both need skills for promotions and as it's Regan's day off Cornwall decided to pull a sickie.

 

As well as getting skills they headed to their business to socialise and raise it up another level.

 

Despite not (yet) having any kids of her own Regan is very close to a lot of her nieces and nephews. Juno here is Regan's favourite nephew.

 

He's a terrible cheat at chess, but then so are most of the Capp family.

 

Her second eldest niece Hermia often stops by for dinner.

 

 Cornwall maxed Logic....

Followed his heart's desire to get himself in a good mood for work and the promotion he so badly wants...(and maybe make a baby?)

Only for his dreams to be shattered upon another chance card that LOST him his job.

"Take that you evil gnome!".

Poor Cornwall, he did sob for most of the day- he is now only 3 days from Elder and there is no Architecture career on the pc or in the newspaper today. His wife is not pregnant and life just isn't fair.... "Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!".

Regan tried to help her husband by checking the ads the next day and yes! Architecture was there for him. Whew. He's downgraded to start as a Draftsman but he doesn't care.

Regan had more success in her new career, she got a chance card that gave her some charisma skill points and one that gave her a sponsorship payout of 20K. She turned the spare room into a home gym.

Enjoying a spot of gardening before winter sets in and the fresh air may do them good!

Cornwall celebrated his birthday after another attempt at fatherhood. Hmm, those munchies have got to him- the fridge is bare.

He went to Stratford Strip where he suddenly had the urge to make friends, chat, buy jewellery and clothing and generally be a nice guy. Better late than never eh?

Back from his trip and he made best friends with Isabella Monty (who is being elixired until she completes her LTW of raising 20 kitties).

 

A home break-in was foiled by Officer Centowski.

 

and with only 5 days now until Regan turns elder, it's fair to say that having babies is definitely not to be.

 

Summary,

 

Wow, well I am a bit gutted that they didn't get to be parents. They did woohoo every night. I even had them 'try for baby' once or twice. Risky must've broken eh? I suppose it makes the game more realistic somehow.

 

Regan- Got her business to rank 8- she only went the once this week as they both needed lots of skills for their jobs.

 

Regan's daily wishes were to play chess, play a pc game, talk about hobby, get skills and get promotions. I finally unlocked 'have a baby' on this last day. :(

 

Cornwall- Unfortunately he didn't have enough lifetime points to 'plead for his job'... he does now, lol. It can't happen twice eh?

 

He wished for pretty much the same as Regan- to play chess, skill, play marco polo, play pc. I've still got TOC locked for him. Being Fortune sims both had 'buy me this, buy me that' wants and so have a car, a few paintings and lots of things that were bought, stored and sold back the next day. Neither have spun up any wishes for workbenches though.

 

They both worked hard on friendships this week and both are at maximum influence level. I think now there is no possibility of offsping that at some point in the future one of Regan's favourite nephew's or niece's can move in. We'll see what happens.

 

Next we're off to visit Antonio Monty. 

Goneril Capp- Round 3- House 5

Welcome back to round 3 at Goneril's household.

In residence and initial wishes,

Goneril wishes to earn money, see Bianca Monty be cured of plantsimism, become a plantsim herself and have Juno get into private school.

A very overheated (wtheck?) Albany also wants to see Bianca cured, play with Kent, see a wolf and have a relative get engaged.

Pleasure sim Hal wants to be bff's with Mallory, play with someone, date someone and talk about his hobby (Music & Dance).

Desi had an initial wish for college, to play with Bottom, sneak out with a friend and have a party.

Young Gregory wants to play with and be bff's with Snug Summerdream, meet someone new and get a skill.

Juno wants to be bf's with Adrian Monty, play with and win a game against him, and then entertain Adrian's sister Phoebe.

It's fair to say that this Capp family is friends with one Monty family, at least.

While Albany cooled off, Juno made his best friend.

 

Goneril hosted a successful Headmaster visit and got the last of her offspring into private education.

 

At this point I played the lot for another day, but noticed so many weird bugs- most particularly that the whole lot played very slowly- the timer wasn't moving as it should and also all friendships seem to have been lost/somehow broken up and so I packed up their belongings and moved them out. I then bulldozed the house and replaced it with a new one.

 

This is their new place. It's from the lots & houses bin and if you've ever played the boys Greek house at Sim State then you'll know it well. I tweaked it somewhat for this family and redecorated before moving them in.

 

Back in business as soon as I noticed the timer was fine again. Friendships are still broken but they are all on the phone a lot and often the kids bring friends home from school too.

 

Hal went on an outing with Isabella Monty and her friend Seth, Antonio and Benedick Monty, Mercutio Monty and yep, another Monty- new plantsim Bianca.

 

They went to the Music & Dance hobby lot where Hal is trying to reach his full potential and get in the zone.

He wanted to win a dancing competition.

Isabella Monty beat him.

 

It's party time- Hal, Gregory and Goneril all had wishes for a party.

 Gregory turned teen- he rolled Fortune- LTW to become a Space Pirate (yay- something new). Initial wishes were for college, earn money, win scholarships and buy cellphone.

Hal became an adult at the party. As a pleasure sim he showed no college wants and is happiest persuing his musical wishes- playing piano/guitar, dancing and having parties.
He was in the Dance career as a teen and is staying in the career until he finds the Slacker path- his LTW related career.

It was a great party- Hal and Gregory got good birthday party memories and Goneril got a good party memory.

Albany is the Hand of Poseidon and on his days off worked hard on his new garden getting Gold and also maxed his skills with his final charisma point (on the execuputter career reward that his wife brought home).

Desi had grown up also and what a pretty sim she turned out to be. I thought the bunches had to go now she's a grown up. Her initial college wish rolled away and she stayed in the medical field until her LTW related career, Gamer, came up.

Hal was out brushing leaves one night when he got zapped by lightning.

He's quite mischievous and loves to pull pranks on Antonio. I think he overdid it a bit because Antonio later came and kicked the trash over- he's furious with Hal at the moment.

Goneril joined her aged husband in elderhood.

Finally Albany can achieve his LTW of celebrating his Golden Anniversary! He's been permanent platinum (as are the rest of his family) for some while, but it's nice to get the memory.

They may not be the most handsome couple in Veronaville, but they are fun to play.

 Goneril hadn't been slacking either. She'd got a Gold badge in Toymaking and was now working on a sewing badge- she reached the zone in Arts & Crafts and earned her LTW of earning 100K here as her daily pay came in on her day off.

 

Looks like it's time for another celebration!

 

Juno is a teen, and how fitting that he grew up in a sweater- it is winter now!

He rolled Knowledge- LTW to max his skills.

Initial wishes are for college, to earn the extraterrestrial scholarship and to skill.

 

Another great party- looks like it was Albany who threw this one. He loves his family get together's.

 

Albany learnt Fire Safety, Juno is working on a skill and Gregory is applying for scholarships- he is ready for college!

 

Everyone stops what they are doing to see Gregory off. He got his skill scholarships, school, work and dance ones.

 

He became the 6th sim at his sister Ariel's new dorm and is probably wondering what he's let himself in for!

 

Summary,

 

 

Given that the family are in perma plat it's much easier playing them, lol. It's not always easy to get their wishes in but I try as many as I can and get lots of good ones roll around. Of course this is only a small selection of what went on- but I figured 100 photo's was a tad much, :D

 

Goneril- wanted her toymaking/sewing badges, also wanted to hire a maid, blog, sew project, get Juno in private school, talk about her hobby and throw parties.

 

Albany- See wolf, buy clothes, learn fire safety, skill, get garden badges, play with sims. When I'm not controlling him he can be found kissing Goneril 'up the arm' and gossiping.

 

Hal & Desi (Desdemona). I'm still not sure what to do with these two- Hal is in the zone in Music- he plays piano/guitar, dances and likes to skill occasionally as well as having outings.

Desdemona is all about skilling (a secret Knowledge sim I think)- she also can be found playing the guitar and piano even though her one true hobby is Science.

 

Gregory- once a teenager was all about college and so it didn't take me long to decide to send him- he had all his skills anyway. As a child he particularly enjoyed Tormenting his brother Juno. ;)

 

Juno- Skilled a lot as a kid- enjoyed jumping rope- hates playing chess- he and Gregory would cheat all the time when they played together.  Is now skilling hard to get scholarships for college.

 

I said I didn't know what to do with Hal & Desi- I don't particularly want loads of offshoot homes. I'll think of something, :D

 

Next house we're off to is Goneril's sister Regan's!
