My apartment roommate is sniffing a dogs butt.

I hae been busy with my new neigbourhood. There is two family. The one is criminal family Kiiltomaa (like Shineland), the other is a police family Rehtilä (quite like fair or upright). I created a couple of criminals and one police, who married an townie. The townie is also a police. Now both of the couples have two children. In the criminal family all are working on criminal career. My goal is to make all of them top of the career, build mansion and put next generation also on same career. The police family is more like middle class but their teen age daughter is also on same career as her parents. These families should be enemies for each other but not everyone hate everyone yet.

And now Jyrki Kiiltomaa, the father of the criminal family made huge drop on him career. Maybe mother, Klaudia, should start work for promotions desbite she originally was more like stay-home-mom type, not into her career.

With her youngest child finally in school Brandi had got a job in Culinary and that's where she meet Benjamin Long .. Brandi you do know doin that might get your fear realized ... she recently miscarried Ben's baby and now she fears it'll happen again .. Brandi invites Ben to move in .. Russ Bear pays his "old friend" Dustin a visit .. fed up with him Dustin calls the cops on him who haul him off to jail .. realizin that crime really doesn't pay with the help of Ben's money Dustin is able to take some college classes .. uhoh Brandi .. her fear comes true .. poor Brandi .. off to work Ben and Brandi you go .. With his change in life, does it mean a change in girlfriends too ... Dustin and Melissa Fancey?

Jan got a call from Joan who wanted to know why she gave her away .. Having hit it off with Komei Jan asked him to move in .. and it seems it was non to soon baby #3 seems to be on the way .. Jada has grown to toddler .. Komei is helpful around the house and seems to have taken a shine to young Jada and she to him (Anyone wanna guess on who Jada's daddy is?)

Ok .. I'm gonna do somethin a bit different here .. this post is a bit long ..
anyways, so for those of ya'll who've been followin along with my posts of "what's goin on in Pleasantivew" ya might has seen where Lilith snuck out with Dirk and ended up pregnant .. she and Dirk both ran away to the little shack over at 10 Oak Drive as they tried to decide what they were gonna do .. both had rolled wants of wantin to go to college ..

Dirk gets along with his dad.. his dads girlfriend, Ivy Copur, recently moved in and the two of them have been all lovey dovey .. Lilith's parents split with her dad movin in with Kaylynn and givin Lilith a baby sister, while mom who'd also been preg gave her a baby brother .. she does love her grandparents .. but her and her sister always fight ..

Lilith and Dirk are unsure if they should give the baby up for adoption or keep it and try and make things work .. they're both fixin to graduate school ..

So settin that aside, I just went into their lot and Dirk rolled wants to go out with and sneak out with Sophie Miguel whom he knowns, but they're not even friends .. is he havin cold feet? I believe he has 1 day before he ages ... should he go ahead and go out with/ Sophie? I know part of Dirks attraction to Sophie is because their both Fortune sims .. I don't mind if Dirk and Lilith don't stay together .. but I really don't wanna put DIrk and Sophie together .. (I do like to play want based, but this want sorta is odds with the rest so as I wasn't sure I'm puttin this out here for ya'll to give me your opinions while I make up my mind .. this needs to be done soon so I can play their lot)

My neighbourhood has turned into a disease. Every freakin' sim is sick. I can tell it's winter.

LOL, who is he going to ask permission to sneak out from? Lilith? XD

Sounds like cold feet to me if he's never had wants like this before (and he isn't a Romance sim). I'd take it as he really isn't ready to be a father and should give the baby up for adoption (and use protection from now on lol).

Dirk and Lilth were talkin about all the nature they were surrounded by when Lilith doubled over in pain grabbing her stomach and screamed .. she gave birth to a black haired green eyed baby boy whom they named Darrel .. Dirk couldn't believe this was his son .. Lilith knew how much bein a doctor meant to Dirk and knew it was up to her to break things off so he could go pursue his dream even if Dirk didn't want to hear it .. Dirk head back home to his Dad and Ivy to start the next chapter in his life .. while Lilith, she decided she was going to stay in that little cabin and make a home for her and Darrel .. she may not go to college, but she did have a knack for making pottery .. it might be hard, but she knew they'd be just fine

After leavin Lilith and baby Darrel, Dirk stands outside gathering the courage to go in then goes to his room and crashes .. the next mornin Darren is overjoyed to see Dirk has returned he pulls him into a hug as the two talk of Dirks future of goin to college to be a doctor .. Ivy gets home from work and is surprised with a baby bump (she had no morning sickness) .. "Eww, get a room" Dirk says as the two get lovey dovey .. just before Darren proposes and Ivy accepts .. with things straightened with his dad, and he's seems happy and settled Dirk calls the college to head and take the next step in his life's journey .. that night as Darren and Ivy sleep Brenda Ebaldi quietly enters the Dreamer home and steals a painting and workout machine .. but Darren hears and calls the cops who arrive and capture the thief

Helena and Darshan Monty adopted the cashier npc Wendy Kimbrell. In the Swedish version her name is Wilma Kjellen so there are a number of Shakespeare characters she could be a genderswapped version of for her name to fit the naming convention, though I'm mainly thinking Michael Williams... or William Shakespeare. Both Adriana Monty and Lennox Monty-Capp invited her home after school, so suffice to say she's gotten a warm welcome to the Monty family. She's been at a party at Adriana's before, so they did know each other a little bit already. She also gets along with her new little brother Orlando (former child townie) and autonomously read to him one morning as well as agreed to help him with his homework when his grades had slipped.

Regan Capp passed away from old age. Grim Reaper and the hula zombies greeted her as she came home from her last day of work as a criminal mastermind. She was a permaplat sim after reaching level 10 in the criminal career and left behind a son, Earl, and a granddaughter, Aemelia.

Flavius Monty came over and visited his mum Beatrice, uncle Benedick and his wife Jennifer, sister Lennox and cousin Iris. Multiple sims are currently wanting to befriend him. Everyone who meets him and Victor Lillard end up loving them.
At his own place, where he lives with bff Rebecka Chun Capp, he wanted to play her piano just as she had gone to bed and I clicked the action away just as he sat down because I wanted him to go to bed too. So what he did was go into Rebecka's room as she had just gone to sleep, slam the piano keys and leave. The two spent the next day hanging out with Cerimon Summerdream who's also bff with both Rebecka and Flavius.

Christel Capp arranged a playdate for all the Veronaville children. Her own oldest son Fabian improved his relations to some kids he's played with before and is now at the very least acquainted with all children in the hood, so that's nice. His grandmother Juliette started a fire in the kitchen making hamburgers for everyone.

Ariel Capp recovered from the mystery disease. Her daughter Lennox called her up so it seems they can repair their relationship after Ariel suddenly took off and isolated herself a little while back. She also went to the nature hobby lot that she recently got an invitation to, and got flirted with by the cute hobby lot instructor.

Romeo Monty retired, making Mercutio's son Horatio the new owner of the Monty restaurant.

Hal Summerdream also retired, and celebrated with a small party with some friends. Hermia had taken a vacation day since she and Puck had been out all night on a date (they needed groceries and were hungry so I thought I might as well take them out to a restaurant on a date and then pick up groceries before going home) so she made pie for everyone. The party was over before Hal's wife Bottom returned home from work so he could invite Ariel with no problems. Bottom and Ariel are currently having beef for telescope-related reasons. I didn't have Hal invite his mother Goneril because I figured he would try to keep his retirement a secret from her until she passes in a couple of days, as him retiring means the Capp business will go to Regan's son Earl (Regan and Goneril absolutely despised each other), though Goneril herself is still in the business career so I don't know how that would work out anyway. Maybe he's just avoiding her.

Solinus Capp-Summerdream and Horatio Monty had a kid. I let them have a biological child because I thought it'd be fun to have someone with genetics from all three main families. They got a son named Chorus, and he seems to me like a nice blend of Monty, Capp and Summerdream genes. He inherited Solinus' pointy ears too which I'm happy about.

Daniel stopped to get to know his son .. Waylon made dinner and then afterwards he asked MarySue to marry him they got engaged .. MarySue aged to elder and then JD aged to child .. shortly there after Waylon and MarySue exchanged private vows in their living room .. before heading off to work Herb invited Lilith over to catch up .. when she came over and she brought baby Darrel .. Herb was delighted to meet his great grandson and he surprised Lilith a gift of a crib and changing table from him and Coral for their 1st great-grandbaby .. with it bein her last day of school, Angela called a taxi and headed off to college .. the family was chilling just havin a family night JD tellin Waylon he was glad he'd joined their family .. Herb came home from work having got a promotion at work, however Grim also came calling .. he tried to fight it, his time was up .. RIP Herb Oldie

:sob: I messed up ... I had to restart my comp and forgot to restart Fraps .. so the pics I thought I took while playin where never taken .. so here's a few pics of the Goth Manor and it's residents
Dorian and Cassandra became parents to Mason Kaulker and then as you can see they wasted no time for baby #2 .. Mortina grew to a child and Dina invited the headmaster over to get her into private school .. and it seems the two of them might be seein more of each other .. Alexander is bein a good big brother and has helped Mortina with learnin to study .. a budding friendship developing with Mortina and JD Pleasant whom she brought home from school

Baby #2 for Daniel and Kaylynn on the way ... while Daniel may not have been a very good dad to his eldest two children, it seems he's makin up for it now teaching Lynda to talk as well as spendin time with such that he calls and talks with him on the phone .. then tragedy strikes .. Kaylynn trips down the stairs causing her to give birth as her own life slips away leavin the newborn and toddler home alone as Daniel still has a few hours left at work .. he puts them both to bed before he himself climbs into bed missing Kaylynns presence next to him .. life was not done with him though as while they drifted off to sleep Russ Bear decided to make an appearance .. Daniel calls the police then chases the robber as he runs towards the girls room .. unfortunately the cop lost the fight and Russ Bear made off with Daniels exercise machine .. utterly spent Daniel once again goes to bed

Aww isn't that sweet .. Saturday morning breakfast at the Lothario house (I do hope young Joan isn't referin to Marylena as lookin like a sumo wrestler) .. later that afternoon there's a few passerbyers a very pregnant Cassandra, Alexander, and Lucy .. Joan goes out to greet the teens for more friends .. only said teens aren't interested in a child .. seems they're interested in each other though (Don agrees) .. Alexander must of made the wrong move as Lucy told him to back off .. Alexanders response was that he has money .. Monday morning breakfast gets interesting when Marylena goes into labor .. with the new addition of baby Nicolas the Lothario house was gettin rather small so a reno was in order .. a new room was added upstairs for Joan while her room was turned into the nursery for Nicolas
*(While this is the Lothario house I do have ACR and Alexander and Lucy's actions were the result )*

Nina hasn't let motherhood get in the way of her own fun .. sadly it is at the detriment of the girls .. she leave them to play alone while she does kissy face and dancin in the sheets with Abijeet .. puts them to bed dirty, hungry, and tired, while she goes back downstairs to finish her date with Ab .. repeat the of the same the next night, only this time her male companion is Don .. oh Nina *sigh*

The Burbs .. your typical all around sims family .. except Lucy .. Lucy is a tease first with Alexander and then with Orlando .. she kicks over the can then immediately regrets it and picks up the trash .. Jennifer wakes up at 2:30 with labor pains, but it's a few more hours before she gives birth to her 2nd brown haired brown eyed baby girl they name Lila .. I think John wanted another boy .. Jennifers hormones must be all over the place as just a few hours after givin birth she's got John on the bed for some casual woohoo .. Monday morning and everyone's off to work and school .. wait WHAT Jennifer, you just had a baby really

Breakfast doesn't seem to be agreein with Brandi .. oh no.. she had another miscarriage .. this time however she realized she did want another baby .. to lift her spirits Benjamin proposed .. Dustin and Melissa go on a date to the park .. Unsavory Charlatan pickpocketed Melissa so they called the police on him and then went over to the gazebo and have a bit of woohoo .. they must of been generatin some body heat to keep from freezin .. when they get back to the Broke home Dustin decides now that he's an adult it's time he moved on so he moved out with Melissa .. Beau is not keen on seein his mom and Benjamin gettin all kissy face

Dustin and Melissa moved into the trailer just down the road from his mom at 35 Woodland Drive .. their first night in their new place, they don't have much but they have a bed :P

I guess this would have been a disaster in anybody else's game but mine.

Gail Law and her teenage friend Stephen Greenlees (two Sims who are destined to become townies in Pleasantview) ordered a taxi to go on an outing with their elderly mutual friend Connie Lorimer. The plan was to do a little essential shopping, and then go for a meal out. However, after Stephen had 'phoned for the taxi, Gail started to prepare some spaghetti. She had just put the pan onto the gas ring, when the taxi arrived. Rather to my surprise (since I have a "Don't walk away while cooking" mod) she just left the pan boiling on the cooker top and got into the taxi. They had several visitors at the time, and maybe she thought one of them would turn the gas off. Well, they didn't!

So it was no surprise to me that Gail and Stephen came home to this:
While Gail was putting the food they'd bought into the fridge, Stephen thought he'd better see what he could do about her spaghetti. I reckon in most Simmers' games the kitchen would have been what insurers call a "constructive total loss", quite possibly accompanied by some loss of life.

But in my game Squinge's "No more Fires" mod once more came to the rescue!
So this was the full extent of the damage. I did say to Stephen that he didn't have to eat it, but it seems that he shares my dislike of wasting food!

Oh I do love my "No more Fires" mod!
Because I love my Sims!

Meanwhile, in simsample's game...

Buttermilk left for school just as Dilly caught the breakfast on fire





Dilly did meet a hunky fireman though, and got his number...




(I like that her fridge was prophetic )

I thought for sure I was going to lose at least one sim and a dog, but through brilliant micromanagement, luck, and slow game mechanics we pulled it out.

It was a yard fire. It's always a yard fire with me. It's been a very stormy summer in Eden's Land, but the rain cleared at the Llyr house at the worst possible moment. Wolf spotted it and ran out to panic, so I told him to extinguish it and called his brother-in-law (and high school sweetheart) Cormac over to help him. And a good thing, too, because as I was cancelling the "panic" action to add the "extinguish" action, Wolf caught fire! So I redirected Cormac from putting out the tree to putting out Wolf, and had Wolf's daughter Angharad hang up on the boy she was talking to in order to call the fire department. Alabaster the dog ran over to help, barking at the flames, and Wolf's wife - Cormac's twin sister Nest - ran out to panic, so I put her on extinguisher duty, too, as the fire department arrived and Wolf finally stopped burning. Wolf was redlining half his motives and orange in the rest, so I tried to get him to go inside, but the panic kept setting in and then Cormac - who had heroically kept battling the flames right next to the firefighter - caught, too! It was a raging inferno, long after the struck tree had burned down. I don't know how Alabastar kept from catching fire - it looked like she was biting fire at one point. Inside, the teens kept fussing with the twin babies, but I got one of them to get food on the table, too.

Anyway, it did go out at last and I set Nest to cleaning up the mess while I forestalled Wolf and Cormac from risking their lives to check on the babies that the teens had well in hand. Wolf was so exhausted I made him get an instant meal instead of sitting down, but he insisted on taking it all the way to the back room to drink it, and stopped for a bladder failure on the way. Angharad cleaned that up for him. Once he got the instant meal down I sent him straight to bed, with a shower lined up immediately afterward. Cormac got to eat the lunch the girls had prepared before he went to bed and showered.

I gave Cormac, Nest, and Wolf anti-jealousy potions some time ago because both Cormac and Nest are in love reciprocally with Wolf, and Nest and Cormac's culture allows Nest to have multiple partners (one of whom, obviously, was not going to be her twin brother; but if her brother's going to canoodle her husband she needs options!). The primary reason Wolf chose to marry Nest instead of Cormac was also cultural. But somehow or other - something to do with Wolf getting alien pregnant on his wedding night and then getting Nest pregnant immediately, and then the twins, presumably - Wolf and Cormac had never acted on it. Well, their moods were way down when they finally got up, and I decided it was high time they acted on it! They feel much better now, though Wolf tactfully refused to flirt with his wife's brother in front of her.

It stormed again for the twins' birthday. I'm really tired of the storms in that neighborhood. It's like the weather generator is stuck.

When I finished playing Gail and Stephen in the Pleasantview Changing Hut, I led them both to the teleporter painting, let them exchange a chaste kiss, and then, as I had always planned, I selected each of them in turn, and selected "Make me a townie." But when I did it to Stephen, he turned and looked at me, with a look that unmistakably said, "Judas!"

I had always intended to make them both townies, and townies really don't have a bad time in my game, but that look he gave me has left me feeling bad.
