Welcome to Silvervale! Here's the hood at the end of Round 7!<br />

The Main page was getting cluttered! Now that Blogger has added static pages, it makes it much easier to keep things somewhat organized without having to forward-date posts and keep them at the top. Anyway, I've set up pages for: Past Rounds' <a href="http://silvervaleprosperity.blogspot.com/p/table-of-contents.html">Table of Contents</a>; the <a href="http://silvervaleprosperity.blogspot.com/p/score-sheet.html">Score Sheets</a>; and <a href="http://silvervaleprosperity.blogspot.com/p/profile-pages.html">Silvervale Profile Pages</a>. The Current Round entries is still listed at the bottom of this post. I'm planning to start doing some round recaps so that new readers don't have to read every individual entry to catch up if they don't want to... that's the next project on the list.<br />

Some arbitrary rules I'm setting for myself: <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<ul>
<li>Starting in Round 8, lots will be played for 5 sims days, uni will be played 2 years at a time. Each uni household will have a separate update scattered throughout the round. (this is an experiment I might go back to 7)</li>
<br />
<li>Starting in Round 8 I will be drawing slips from <a href="http://generations32.blogspot.com/">JavaJan's Jar Challenge</a>. I reserve the right to add or omit slips in accordance with the Prosperity Rules (i.e. I will not have slips like killing off sims) or if i feel like it.</li>
<br />
<li>Teens will be sent to uni when they have 3-5 days left on their age meter before turning into adults if a) they have a LTW that requires a uni degree b) if they have the want when they are due to be sent... if they don't meet one of these criteria, they may not go</li>
<br />
<li>The oldest male child in the household will become heir, if there are no male children, the heir will be the youngest female. If there are male twins, the one with the most "stable" aspiration will become heir (stability ranks: family, knowledge, fortune, popularity, pleasure, romance) -- this may also change depending on population expansion</li>
<br />
<li>If there is a placeholder servo/sim on the lot (when a heir is off at uni) that lot will be excluded from the rounds until the heir returns to the neighborhood, similarly, if there is a placeholder at uni it will be excluded from the round until there are neighborhood YA's attending</li>
<br />
<li>I have InTeen installed so only family sims or sims that have an active "have baby" want will use the "try for baby" option. All other sims will woohoo as normal taking their chances. Birth control will be used accordingly for population control.</li>
</ul>
I used a <a href="http://www.path-o-logic.com/misc/random_dice.html">dice randomizer</a> and a <a href="http://www.kleimo.com/random/name.cfm">random name generator</a> for my determination round.<br />

Last Round, Wesley and Jeannie took surprisingly good care of their two little girls. Wesley was still pretty self-absorbed though and still haven't realized that Phoebe doesn't really look too much like the Teer side of the family, nor does she much resemble her mother. During her maternity leave, Jeannie took up writing, and gardening. After a too-high dose of pesticide exposure, she turned into a plant sim. Over the course of the round, both Wendy and Phoebe transitioned into lovely young ladies. Will Jeannie and Wes curb their cheating ways now that the girls are old enough to know what's going on? Lets see...<br />

Out of Wesley's two daughters, he tended to see himself more in the eldest, Wendy. She always seemed to be intersted in his latest film endeavors... and of course he was happy to endulge her questions<br />
<br />

<br />
There was just something a little... odd... about Phoebe. Wes couldn't put his finger on it, but she wasn't quite like the rest of the household<br />
<br />

<br />
Wes and Jeannie really enjoyed having people over to the house. Since they were both advancing in their careers, they could spend more time with friends and relatives.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Jeannie didn't really even mind it too much when Wesley's girlfriends were hanging around the house.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rose and Linda were actually pretty cool to be around most of the time <br />
<br />

<br />
Wendy and Phoebe also really enjoyed hanging out with their cousins. All the kids got along so well<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Teer%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2621-57-47-81.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Teer%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2621-57-47-81.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
While the cousins were keeping the girls busy, Wes and Jeannie tried to sneak a little alone time in the hot tub<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Teer%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2622-12-08-71.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Teer%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2622-12-08-71.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
What they didn't realize was that Wes's girlfriends were still hanging out around the house. ((Silly ACR))<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Linda had finally had enough of Wesley's two (three?) timing ways. She didn't understand why he had chosen Jeannie over both she and Rose, but she was pretty sick of it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Things escalated pretty quickly, Jeannie was not pleased with getting attacked in her own home by some hussy<br />

I <i>have to </i>remember to cure all the Teer household members next time I get to their house, and stop inviting them over to visit my other households because they are plague carriers<br />

I've actually played the Wade household, next on the rotation. I've been having some trouble loading my larger households since I transferred the hood to the new computer... I think it has something to do with the amount of sims and CC in the more established households. It's probably good because I need to weed out my monster CC folder anyway. More updates on the horizon, thanks for reading!)) <br />

Last round, Kana gave birth to her alien spawn whom they named Ziggy who grew up into an adorable toddler. Mistress of the Night, a.k.a. Auntie Tia turned out to be a great nocturnal babysitter for both Zora and Ziggy despite thinking she'd spend eternity doing interesting things. At the end of the round, Angelica discovered that she was pregnant. ((I played this house in February 2012 according to the dates on the
screenshots... it's been two and a half years, I'm not sure I remember
what exactly went on so I'm going to wing it, lol!)<br />

Things were getting along well in the Eich household. Kana and Angelica, and even Tia to some extent, were very content with their little budding family. Everyone was amazed that Ziggy turned out to be such a quick learner<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Eich%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2021-46-01-52.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Eich%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2021-46-01-52.jpg" /></a></div>

Ziggy especially learned to love his new friend, Sandi<br />
<br />

Ziggy's toddlerhood flew by and soon it was time for him to transition into a child<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He transitioned into an handsome young man with big, intelligent otherworldly eyes.<br />
<br />
Zora and Ziggy were very playful children. They were constantly able to amuse themselves and were very self sufficient.<br />
<br />

They were both also very social children, always bringing home friends from school.<br />

Sometimes Ziggy wondered if he shared some heritage with his friend Dulcinea Devivio from across town, they got along great!<br />

With Zora and Ziggy more grown up, Tia was able to escape the house in the evening to prowl around downtown. Her most frequent haunt was the Crypt-O-Nightclub where she could often find her maker, the Countess, <strike>looking for new prey</strike> hanging out. The countess definitely noticed that the quality of the patrons of the nightclub had diminished over the years<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Eich%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2417-41-39-04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Eich%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2417-41-39-04.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Lucky for the countess, her ridicoulsly good looking "children" weren't shy about coming to give her more tolerable company at the club<br />
<br />

With Tia out of the house more often, it was good that the kids were able to keep themselves entertained... because the family was about to add another member<br />

Everyone seemed to be happy to have a toddler around the house again, nobody could claim Zain was starved for attention<br />

<br />
The following day brought another birthday to the Eich household. This time Zora was transitioning into teenager-hood<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Eich%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2418-50-51-14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Eich%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2418-50-51-14.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
She transitioned into a gorgous young adult who definitely favored the Eich side of the family.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Eich%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2418-51-35-30.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Eich%202%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2418-51-35-30.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Zora loved her family so much that she decided she wanted a big family of her own one day. Hopefully she could do it with a handsomely dark and logical man (I don't have a screen shot of her gender preferences so this may be an assumption!), just as long as he didn't walk around in his underwear all the time<br />

Unfortunately teenagers are pretty fickle and Zora didn't want to be babysitting 24/7... <br />

Zain still got into trouble from time to time when the rest of the family's attentions were elsewhere.<br />

((Welp... Halfway through writing this entry, I found my sims notebook packed away in my desk supplies box -- did I mention we just moved??? -- Luckily for me, it had everyone's stats written down, unluckily for me it had no other information for this round. So I just kinda winged it based on the order the pics were in. I honestly didn't even remember Kana and Angelica had another baby until I reviewed the pictures, lol. This is definitely it for them (unless they get oopsed) because I have <i>so many sims</i> in my hood it's a little crazy!!! Not much else to say other than Zora is a beautiful teen, she definitely carries on the Eich genes well! I'm a little rusty at this whole Sims blogging thing, so thanks for sticking with me! Wesley, Jeannie, and the girls are up next...))</div>

I'm not sure anyone is still watching this blog but I wanted to say -- thanks to Origin, I can play TS2 again :)<br />
<br />
Back in, oh... February 2012 (that's when my last TS2 screenshot is dated) my older Windows Vista computer began having issues. When I got a new computer it had Windows 8 and I honestly didn't want to jump through the hoops of getting TS2 to work on it. Sims in general kinda fell off my radar...<br />
<br />
Last month, Origin was having the SIMS 2 ultimate collection for free to anyone with a Sims game registered. And, best of all it works with Windows 8!!!! <br />
<br />
So anyway, Silvervale might be making a comeback because I really miss my sim-babies. I have the 'hood installed and working in my new game, and just finished reading through my own blog from the beginning to reacquaint myself. I have screencaps from two houses on my backup drive that I played 2 and a half years ago and haven't blogged yet, lol! <br />
<br />
A lot of other things have changed (we just moved in to our new home) so things around here are super busy. But I can't wait to start playing again :). I might even blog those two found households if I can remember what happened.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533197673925868965.post-62241774046377958802012-02-28T14:22:00.000-05:002014-08-20T11:37:33.147-04:00Devivio 4 (R12)<a href="http://silvervaleprosperity.blogspot.com/2011/02/devivio-4-r11.html">Last time</a> we visited Kurt, Brittany and the kids, not much went on. Kurt and Brittany aged into elders and the twins got admitted into the private school. At the end of the round, Tabitha decided to for-go college and transition into adulthood along with her boyfriend Timothy. Lets see what happens this round<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2017-13-55-28.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2017-13-55-28.jpg" /></a></div>

Tabitha had found a quaint little house across town from her parents, so Sunday afternoon, after packing up her cauldron and spellbook, she called a cab to take her to her new place<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2016-06-48-33.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2016-06-48-33.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Tabitha's move was coming at a good time, the house was starting to get crowded. Especially since Nicholas' girlfriend Harley-Quinn was becoming a regular fixture around the house<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2016-22-22-43.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2016-22-22-43.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Nicholas was having a hard time getting the hang of The Craft. Brittany tended to hole herself up in her "secret room" to make potions and reagents<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2016-40-15-60.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2016-40-15-60.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Nick thought it was probably for the best though... he wasn't sure his mother would approve of his straying from the "dark side"... he'd much rather help people than hurt them<br />
<br />

<br />
While the twins were content sharing a bedroom for the time being, their birthdays were coming up soon, and soon they would need more space for their cauldrons and spellbooks<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2016-37-10-56.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2016-37-10-56.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Kurt tended to ignore the goings-on in the house. In fact he even tried to make light of the rumors of supernatural happenings in his household. He liked to pretend that he was in charge... not that his friends believed him (for fear of being turned into a toad... or worse)<br />
<br />

<br />
Kurt was very proud of his family and he liked to think that Magic played no part in their family success. Brittany was easily elected to be Mayor of Silvervale<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2020-25-40-35.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2020-25-40-35.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
The kids were also regularly bringing home A+ grades<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2016-47-42-44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2016-47-42-44.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Being the only non-magical member of the Family, Kurt had a hard time keeping up. He seemed to get less and less sharp as he got older. He probably should have just retired... but instead he got fired to poor work performance<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2018-04-07-78.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2018-04-07-78.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Maybe getting fired was for the best, Kurt thought he'd have more time to do things he enjoyed... like playing with his trains<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2020-41-57-80.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Devivio%204%20R12/Sims2EP92012-02-2020-41-57-80.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Brittany thought an afternoon of unemployment was enough for Kurt, she put him to work for her re-election campaign to keep him busy<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For their birthday, the twins wanted to have some family and friends over for the occasion<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Everyone packed into the small dining room to watch Jaina and Germain blow out their candles<br />

((Well that was a fun round. I'm looking forward to playing Tabitha by herself later in the round, but I'm not really looking forward to <i>another</i> Devivio child related LTW... they're already overpopulating my hood as it is! Witches are really fun to play. The Teer's are all infected with the flu/colds, Harley-Quinn spread it to this household... thankfully I had Nicholas just make up a bunch of reagents for the curing spell so he was going around casting it on anyone that came around (or he encountered at community lots) so that the plague wouldn't infect this house ;) I think it's funny how the twins are so different, Germain only has one nice point, and Jaina has enough to at least be a neutral witch, if not good. I'll have to check exactly how many she has next time. The Eich's are up next!))</div>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533197673925868965.post-7359148672952565222012-02-24T16:47:00.001-05:002012-02-26T15:47:26.120-05:00Devivio 3 (R12)<a href="http://silvervaleprosperity.blogspot.com/2011/02/devivio-3-r11.html">Last time</a> at the third Devivio house in the rotation, Gibson and Kay were super social. Gibson took advantage of having "cool" parents and often spent late nights out with his group of friends. He continued to date townie, Allyn. With the help of Alec Bigfoot, Carla continued to work at the flower shop and ended up getting it to Level 6. Alec also got promoted to TOC music, fulfilling his LTW in the process. All of the cats continued to work toward the top of their careers so that Connor could fulfill his LTW.<br />

Being retired, Carla had a lot of time on her hands. Even though it was Connor's desire to have all 6 cats reach top of career, a lot of the training fell to Carla since she was home all day... not that she minded<br />

He enjoyed hanging out with his steady girlfriend Allyn, and she would be heading off to university with him in a couple short days. But he also enjoyed spending time with Lindsay Wade who was two years younger than he was<br />

He really did enjoy Lindsay's company, but he wasn't sure if he would be able to wait 2 whole years until she joined him at college<br />

That evening was Kay's birthday<br />

Gibson almost didn't want to go off to college and leave his baby sister to the mercy of the neighborhood boys... he'd drive all the way back to Silvervale if he had to to beat them off with a great big stick<br />

She thought the best way to do that was to become Captain Hero one day.<br />

<br />

<br />

Connor transitioned into an elder with little fanfare one evening after returning home from work<br />

<br />
((Can I just say... pets related LTW's really bother me... pets in general in TS2 are kind of inconsequential other than being a cute animated thing to look at. I really wish I could get away with uninstalling it, but I like the option of warewolves, bleh. Anyway, other than constant cat training, this house is pretty relaxing to play. I'm going to send Allyn to uni and make her a townie and see where she and Gibson's relationship goes from there, but I'm honestly hoping that he picks Lindsay since I prefer to intermarry my playables to keep the population down. Kay doesn't have any romantic interests, it could get tricky since most of the teens in the hood are related to her, lol. Plus she only wants to hang out with her cousin Camron. I think it's cute that they're BFF's since they're pretty much on the same age level and should go to uni together. Just one blooper:<br />

The Sentrybot went haywire and kept attacking Remington.<br />

I got TS3 for Christmas and I've been playing it a lot :p I'm definitely not giving up TS2, but now I have to divide my time between them. Also, if you're interested, I have a <a href="http://beadqueene.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> where I post random pics, it's much less commitment than blogging so I feel like I'm much more active there, feel free to follow if you'd like :) Now on to the update...</span><br />

<a href="http://silvervaleprosperity.blogspot.com/2010/11/devivio-2-r11.html">Last time</a> we visited Flora and Annatto, they were raising their first son, Camron, and more puppies for Annatto's LTW. Flora discovered she was pregnant with another bundle of joy. Jack met Kimi Tanaka from Rosebud and fell head over heels for her, at the end of the round he moved out to be with Kimi. Camron transitioned into a very cute child, and Flora gave birth to another boy that they named Ferris (who turned out to be a personality clone of Camron). Lets see how they get on this round.<br />

It didn't take long for her superiors to recognize the work she did around the Architecture firm, and she was promoted to the top of the field<br />

She hoped that getting them into private school would help stimulate them more than public school. That evening she invited the headmaster over for dinner<br />

Scoring: 1 point for Flora TOC Architecture<br />
<br />
I adore this family, they are so easy to handle... Although I really have to get a move-on with Annatto's LTW. I was hoping the Sandi and Benny would get along well enough to try for puppies, but as soon as Benny grew up, all they did was fight with one another. Carolina is a small dog, so I don't think I can breed a large and small dog together... does anyone know if that's true? We're off to the next Devivio house in the rotation to check in on Carla, Connor, Gibson and Kay... stay tuned!Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533197673925868965.post-58320386318695240782011-12-15T10:50:00.000-05:002012-02-26T15:48:12.842-05:00Hoppes (R12)Last time at the Hoppes household, with both Lorraine and Sierra working non-stop, Sierra's salon reached level 10. Sierra celebrated by buying Lucky Shack Cards and Drink. The twins grew up into adorable, but mean, toddlers... then into children later in the round. Lorraine received the Corner Store, a robotics shop, for her graduation present, then headed off to university. Sierra ended the round pregnant.<br />

Marty was really doing great at the architecture firm, he was just the kind of forward thinker that the firm was looking for, and they rewarded him handsomely for thinking outside the box<br />

((This household always takes up a lot of time because of the businesses. The venue really is easy to play though and builds stars on its own. I had a lot of fun making over the lot -- I actually had Sierra sell the lot back then repurchase it, so I didn't have to load up the household, then load the lot in order to renovate it. Jennifer cracks me up, she's so social but sooooo mean. When she and Dulci were interacting, Dulci didn't get the hint and kept trying to tell her jokes, etc, but Jennifer would keep blowing her off. It was amusing. One out-take for you:<br />

This is the furthest I've played, I've been working on my Secret Santa gift for the past couple weeks and haven't had much of a chance to play. But gift delivery is next week, so I'll be back to playing after that.))Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533197673925868965.post-44551809900664723832011-12-12T10:20:00.000-05:002012-02-26T15:48:23.585-05:00Devivio (R12)<a href="http://silvervaleprosperity.blogspot.com/2010/09/devivio-1-r11_09.html">Last time</a> at the Devivio house, Frank moved back home with his girlfriend, Whitney, and twin sister, Magenta, in tow. Frank and Whitney tied the knot and soon had their first (of 6) children, a girl named Veronica. Magenta also realized she was pregnant with James Pushard's baby, and gave birth to her first (of 6), a son named Frederick. Eddie continued dating Byron Wade and caught the unwanted attention of Byron's mom. Frank also reached TOC in the music career earning a bonus that will put him closer to his LTW of earning 100,000 simoleans<br />

Magenta and James' relationship was very strained since he returned back home from Sim State. Since Magenta's plans to move with him to his family home were put on hold, she looked for a nice little home for her and Frederick... Her parents' place was getting a little crowded<br />

((This house definitely was more entertaining than the Eichs... I guess 7 sims crammed in will do that. I was holding my breath all round because I thought Guy and Sofia were going to croak :( They most definitely will next round, and I'll probably cry. Also, Eddie did leave for university at the end of the round. It'll be a while before I play it though because Gibson and Byron are slated to go this round as well... and I still hvae 6 lots to play before I get to the Wades. Can anyone guess the naming theme of the third generation of the Devivio clan?))Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533197673925868965.post-40491880779578675282011-11-30T22:09:00.002-05:002012-02-26T15:48:29.866-05:00Eich (R12)<span style="font-style: italic;">Revenge</span> is a re-run tonight (/lame) so I'm doing a blog post instead...

Last time at the Eich's, Alcea and Astilbe transitioned into teens, both declaring Popularity Aspirations. One of the dogs also gave birth to some puppies who were given up for adoption. That's about all that's about all that is exciting. This round, nothing really happened either... Just waiting for the twins to be old enough to go to uni.<br />

Harley-Quinn got a bird for her birthday that she named Twain. She grew up into a Romance Teen with a LTW to reach the top of the Artist career. She tried to mack on the goth downtownie, but got rejected, but ended up getting her first kiss from fellow romancer, Nicholas Devivio. Later in the round, Addison reached TOC in Journalism, and fulfilled his LTW; Stella reached TOC in Intelligence. This round, the twins grow up into teenagers. Lets see how they're doing...<br />

Addison and Stella were grateful that Wiley was the only child in the house... it was much easier to keep up with one child's homework, than 4<br />

<br />

((Awww I love these guys, and the twins turned out soooooo adorable! Though I'm not too terribly thrilled with Lexis' LTW after just doing it with Colubia... maybe I'll reroll her in Uni...

James was officially back from college, Allan hoped that all James did was hit the books and didn't party like he did back at university<br />

Everyone pitched in working in the orchard and greenhouse and made sure that they had a good harvest for their season at the store<br />

All those melty layers of cheese between perfectly toasted bread... was there anything better to life?<br />

Magenta didn't even seem to care<br />

James was an adult now and he could make his own decisions, they just hoped that it wouldn't cause them not to see their new grandson once in a while <span style="font-size: 85%;"> ((remember: Magenta and James have a toddler son))</span><br />
Allan kept himself busy with his gardening blog<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Pushard%20R12/Sims2ep92011-10-0614-19-53-42.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Pushard%20R12/Sims2ep92011-10-0614-19-53-42.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 440px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 550px;" /></a>There were also the naps... the glorious, glorious naps<br />

<br />

<br />
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Pushard%20R12/Sims2ep92011-10-2720-15-54-79.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2012/Pushard%20R12/Sims2ep92011-10-2720-15-54-79.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 440px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 550px;" /></a>Scoring: 0 points this round<br />
<br />
((Despite James being home, this house was incredibly boring to play. All the occupants did was work in the garden to replenish the stock of the grocery store and work on their hobbies/relationships. The mini bachelor challenge was kinda fun and helped James make his pick, although I had a feeling he was going to pick Lorraine... I think it will work out better for both of them because they are both Fortune Sims... Magenta can do much better. A quick funny for you: Suzi doesn't approve of James and Lorraine's relationship<br />

But now their back in Silvervale, lets see how their first week as adults went.

Things got off to a somewhat rocky start for Kennedy and Vinaya... Lindsay Wade came by to steal the paper as soon as it was dropped off (these Wade kids are bad news!)

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Smith%20R11/Sims2ep92011-05-1523-23-21-53.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Smith%20R11/Sims2ep92011-05-1523-23-21-53.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 440px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 550px;" /></a>Luckily there was enough money in the budget for a computer and they were both able to find suitable jobs... Kennedy in architecture and Vinaya in journalism
<br />

Neither Vinaya nor Kennedy picked up much cooking skill during college so dinner making didn't go so well
<br />

<br />

She got a promotion to Obituary writer on her first day...
<br />

((Next time -- two pregnant sims at the same time and BABIES! I can't believe Kennedy got abducted as soon as the limo dropped him off... he was only trying to get the 2 logic points he needed for his next promotion. After Anise and Keith not conceiving, I'm glad these two are going to have some little ones running around. It gives me motivation to play through another round :) I kinda love these two so I purposely put them at the end so I'd be excited to play. This is the end of Round 11... Round 12 will start back at the Pushard's where we'll see if James chooses his baby-mama Magenta, or his mistress Lorraine... <span style="font-size: 78%;">50 simoleans says it'll be Lorraine</span>... stay tuned!))Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533197673925868965.post-36313443373197130722011-08-28T22:19:00.002-04:002012-02-26T15:50:46.638-05:00Devivio 6 (R11)Last time we saw Columbia, she was whoring it up at Sim State... now she's whoring it up back in Silvervale!

((I'm going to be really happy to get Columbia's LTW out of the way, although I'm not sure what I'll do with her once it's achieved. Maybe we'll see if she wants to settle down with any of her past conquests. Not really much else to say, she spent the whole round dating and knocked out 10 more in the 5-day round. I moved Vinaya and Kennedy into their house, but I haven't played them yet. It shouldn't take too long to play through their house and then that's the end of Round 11! It only took me more than a year to play/blog... ))Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533197673925868965.post-26418545112176216972011-08-28T21:57:00.003-04:002012-02-26T15:50:56.041-05:00Lee/Eich (R11)We last saw Anise and Keith as the most well behaved couple at the Annya Var house.

He fell instantly in love with a beautiful walk-by, Kimi Tanaka, from <a href="http://rosebudprosperity.blogspot.com/">Rosebud</a> and decided that he would give up everything to be with her. He bestowed his business to Flora, took two of the dogs, Cookie and Jake, and the few possessions that he wanted, and moved downtown to be with Kimi. Lets see how things went for these two in their first week of life together.<br />

It gave him a good amount of time to just socialize<br />

She would routinely invite over [male] friends to share the afternoons<br />

<br />
((so, I <3 Kimi so much... and she's totally going to achieve her LTW :) You'll notice that Jack got a full week playtime in his old house, then another full week of playtime here... I kinda want him to age more quickly because I know he'll probably be around at least 2 more rounds and he was just a convenient excuse to get Kimi into my hood. Anyway, these two are surprisingly mundane for two Romance Sims. Anyway, short and sweet... Anise and Keith are up next, stay tuned!))Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533197673925868965.post-86049747186113391252011-05-19T12:14:00.004-04:002011-05-20T11:45:45.914-04:00Hoppes 2 (R11)Last time, Victoria moved in with Emmett, got knocked up, and ended up having a shotgun wedding (hey! she and Emmett both had the wants to get married).

Until family Sunday, I kinda forgot that James was Victoria's brother and Lorraine was Emmett's sister, but they obviously want to be together... Though it looks like Lorraine isn't too picky.../sigh. Now it's time to start the new households on the playlist.

It's so hard to get Brad the needed friends for the promotions because of all the insanity going on, I just didn't have time for them to socialize much... they did make headway with the Wade brood though since Brad knows Brittany from the Education career track.

Wow! Lindsay is gorgeous! I kind of expected it because I packaged her up and sent her over to <a href="http://rosebudprosperity.blogspot.com/">Shannon @ Rosebud</a> but I'm, nonetheless, very pleased with how she turned out as a teen. I am not, however, not pleased with Miss Lindsay's LTW since Columbia is in the process of doing it too. Lindsay also has 2 bolts with Gibson Devivio and I'd prefer to playables to marry playables -- PLUS they are both redheads! -- so I may re-roll Lindsay in college. I'll probably also send Gibson's girlfriend, Allyn to University but make her a YA townie, to see who he chooses since Lindsay is 1 round behind him Uni wise. Speaking of University... that's up next))Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533197673925868965.post-33332238238593937762011-04-07T10:27:00.001-04:002011-04-07T10:29:36.013-04:00Bad News (?)My computer has been acting weird for the last couple months. One of the fans was super loud but after I cleaned it it seemed to be OK for a while, but I noticed last week when I was playing that the graphics on WoW were blinking when i was near water... Well, yesterday I turned the computer on and everything seemed to boot up fine (all the normal noises, etc) but I got no signal to the monitor. I went through the routine check that everything was plugged in properly and popped open the case to make sure everything was running. The computer was built for me by a friend and is nearly 4 years old, but still runs things well enough for my purposes. I'm thinking (and hoping) that it's just the gfx card or the power source, both of which would be fairly inexpensive to replace. Boyfriend and I are going to try some troubleshooting this weekend and hopefully it's just a matter of replacing one of those two components. Anyway, gaming is on hiatus for a little while until I get everything worked out... Now I don't have any excuse to put off that spring cleaning I've been meaning to do :p<br /><br />I do have the pictures for the Wade's and University edited and uploaded, so I'll probably get to knocking out those two entries sometime soon, I'll probably start one today in fact :)Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533197673925868965.post-21118730494639174082011-03-31T11:54:00.002-04:002011-03-31T14:16:12.408-04:00Teer 2 (R11)Last Round, Wesley and Jeannie continued their swinger lifestyle. Jeannie was surprised when she found out she was pregnant and hoped that it was Wesley's baby. Jeannie gave birth to a little girl that they named Wendy, who did belong to Wes (though both parents were unsure of how exactly to take care of the newborn). Later in the round, Jeannie seduced the mailman and subsequently got knocked up by him. Jeannie hoped that Wesley wouldn't take notice to Phoebe's striking blue eyes, that only could have come from Pao. Lets see how everyone is getting along this round.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1914-41-37-54.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 440px;" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1914-41-37-54.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Teer (lot 10): Tuesday-Sunday<br />Pictured (clockwise from top left): Wesley Teer holding Phoebe Vijayakar, Jeannie Vijayakar, Wendy Vijayakar<br /></span></div><br />Wesley and Jeannie surprisingly turned out to be great parents once they got the hang of things... kids were actually fun to play with (who knew?)<br /><br /><a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1914-55-59-08.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 440px;" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1914-55-59-08.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Wes especially had fun helping Wendy learn how to talk, maybe one day she'd know enough to help him do line reading for his scripts<br /><br /><a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1915-18-08-70.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 440px;" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1915-18-08-70.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Both parents still had time to pursue their own interests while the girls were sleeping, which was nice<br /><br /><a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1915-13-57-64.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 440px;" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1915-13-57-64.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Since her maternity leave, Jeannie had taken up writing novels on the side... her slacker lifestyle and profession gave her plenty of ideas for plot lines and her novels were selling like hotcakes<br /><br /><a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1915-33-19-30.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 144px;" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1915-33-19-30.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Jeannie had also taken to gardening during her pregnancies, luckily the chemicals from the pesticides didn't affect the girls too much (she hoped!)<br /><br /><a href="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1915-44-50-84.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 440px;" src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/lizbeth131/Round%2011/Teer%202%20R11/Sims2ep92011-02-1915-44-50-84.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Since Wesley was a retired movie star, and Celebrity Chef... of course they both had high interests in movies and literature.
