Devivio 2 (R7)

Last round, Pamela informed Jack Copur that they had a daughter together and Jack moved in so he could have a relationship with Flora. Flora grew up into a very cute child causing Pamela to see the importance of Family in her life. Jack worked on his athletic career and also delved into the art of toy-making. Will Pamela be able to build and maintain relationships with her other grown children in her golden years? How will Flora grow up in her unique living situation? Lets find out

Devivio Family Tree and Information about the family members
Tour of the Devivio/Copur cottage

I opened the lot and found out that Pamela had maxed out her lifetime aspiration points

Jack also bought Cookie from Jaiden Hurt over at the Pushard lot earlier in the round. Pamela had Cookie take a job in the showbiz career track

Since the dogs didn't get much training at the Pushards, Pamela started training Cookie the skills she would need to do well in the career

Her training must not really be working, Cookie made a bad decision with a chance card

Despite the bad chance card, Cookie still managed to get a promotion

Jack continued to hone his toy-making skills and finally received a gold toy-making badge

The next day while making water wigglers, Jack received his Arts&Crafts hobby plaque

With Flora's birthday drawing near, Pamela and Jack discussed what they could get her as a present

The next day, Flora transitioned into a teen

Flora declared a fortune aspiration

She also decided that her braids weren't "professional" enough so she went for a shorter cut

Flora Devivio - Libra
Fortune: Become a Hall of Famer

Pamela and Jack decided to invest in a toy shop that Jack and Flora can run together until she is old enough to take it over


While Flora was at school, Jack went to set up the store. He immediately started to see that there was a demand for his toys in the neighborhood

While helping his customers, Jack earned his gold sales talent badge ((he had moved in with silver already))

Jack restocked the sold items and headed home for the evening intending to spend the weekend at the shop with Flora

Meanwhile back at the house, Cookie got another chance card

This time it worked in her favor

Being a stunt-double required that Cookie know very well how to roll over, so Pamela worked at teaching her the new trick

Despite being a fortune-minded sim, Flora still enjoyed hanging out with other teens in the neighborhood, lest we forget, a lot of them are her family members. She thought it was funny that Brad Devivio is her nephew even though they are the same age.

The next day Jack had to go to his real job before heading out to the business with Flora. He received a hobby chance card while at work

Building strong rapport with his co-workers, Jack manages to reach the top of the athletic career, fulfilling his lifetime want in the process

After the school bus drops Flora off, Jack takes her to visit the toy store. She is so excited she jumps right into working the many aspects of the business

Flora is eager to make sales

Perhaps she is a little too eager and it comes off as pushy -- Benjamin Long complains to Jack about his daughter's over-zealous sales technique

Despite the complaints, Flora manages to work her way up to a gold sales talent badge by the end of the weekend

With more techniques at her disposal, Flora managed to sell many products

With so many sales being made, Flora also had to man the cash register

By the end of the weekend Flora had managed to gain her Bronze register badge

Jack and Flora worked in tandem making sales, while Flora was ringing up customers, Jack would work on stocking the shelves

with the toys flying off the shelves it was easy for Jack to earn his Bronze stocking badge

All the positive selling also earned Jack good reputation with his customers

By the end of the weekend the toy shop had managed to reach Rank 5

While Jack and Flora were working on the business, Pamela had a lot of time alone. She kept working on Cookie's tricks

With all her new tricks, Cookie brought home another promotion

Pamela also had a lot of alone time to devote to her interest in science. She managed to earn her Science hobby plaque

The family discussed their various achievements over breakfast Monday morning

And while Flora was at school, Pamela and Jack got some alone time

Scoring: 6.5 points (3 points for Pamela maxing lifetime aspiration meter, .5 point for Jack's Gold Toy-Making badge, 1 point for Jack's A&C hobby plaque, .5 point for Jack's Gold Sales Badge, .5 point for Flora's Gold Sales Badge, 1 point for Pamela's Science hobby plaque)

Household Net-Worth: 184,474

((That wraps it up for the Devivio/Copur House. I'm really having a blast with businesses. Flora is a fortune sim so I figured that a family business would be nice to start for her -- This means I have to find her a husband at some point [she's not slated to marry anyone in the hood yet] so she can have a baby to pass the business down to. I think she turned out very cute. Pamela and Jack only roll up wants for eachother which is unusual for 2 romance sims... sometimes I forget that Jack is romance at all! Off to visit Carla and Connor next.))

University F1

Last round at Annya Var house -- Addison, Wesley, Jeannie, Brittany, Stella, and the new addition, William completed through their freshman and sophomore years. The students paired off into couples. Hobby plaques were awarded, and at the end of the round, Lifetime Aspriations were changed -- Addison changed to knowledge, and Brittany and William changed to Family. Lets see how the kids get along in their last 2 years at University.

Tour of the Annya Var House
((Profiles will be listed under the adult residences later in the round))

The Annya Var kids tried to eat dinner together as often as possible. They were often joined by the llama and the cheerleader

The llama usually helped take care of that pesky cow

Now we will commence with the awarding of the hobby plaques and secret society inductions

Wesley was awarded his Arts&Crafts Plaque

Addison received his games plaque

And then the games lady came right back to award Jeannie her games plaque

Wesley was the first to get inducted into the Secret Society

As soon as Wes got to the Landgrabbe Society, he rolled up the want to fall in love with Linda, one of his SS friends.

Since Jeannie was at home I allowed him to indulge ((me thinks the SS lot will be a good place to try to accomplish romance sim wants from now on))

While Wes was out macking on the SS ladies, Jeannie was awarded her games plaque

Stella was also awarded her games plaque on her way to class ((Didn't I say a few rounds back that the games lady should join the Greek house since she spends so much time there?))

Brittany was the next victim of the Secret Society

The next night Addie got inducted

Then Jeannie got abducted by her twin

And, finally Stella got her induction

One day while I was paying attention to Wes and Jeannie who were on a date I heard the ::BOING:: sound of cheating... zoomed down to the lower level... and found out that the stupid cow had made a pass at Addie while Stella was standing right next to him... ::grumbles::

Addie spent the next 3 semesters apologizing

Here's a shot of all the kidlets in their SS outfits ((William was already in the Secret Society))

Somehow William was best friends with Janet Devivio so he invited her over to pledge the Greek House ((Janet and Ricky will have their own update later in the round))

More games plaques were awarded... first Wes

Then William

At the end of Senior year Stella finally forgave Addie

The computer broke right as all the kids were leaving to go back to Silvervale. Since Addie had the highest mechanical at the time, he was tasked with fixing it. It didn't go so well...

Not only did Addie get electrocuted, but the desk started on fire

Of course there wasn't a smoke detector in the compter room... luckily Wes was able to call the fire department before the fire got too out of hand and everyone in the house started freaking out

After the fire was taken care of, William congratulated Addie (on starting the fire?) and the cow started a pillowfight with the firefighter

During the fire fiasco, the gypsy dropped off a genie lamp

Since Brittany and William are both townies, I decided to send the lamp with them to help set up house

Before heading back to Silvervale, William proposed to Brittany

Jeannie transitioned into a ballet leotard

Wesley into his jammies

((these two will be getting new clothes when they get back to town ASAP))

William and Brittany are heading back to Silvervale in style in their formal wear

Addie and Stella will be hanging around the Greek House until I get Janet moved in later in the Round.

Scoring: 5 points (1 point for Wes' A&C plaque, 1 point each for games plaques for Addie, Jeannie, Wes and William)

# of Mascot Fights: 7

((And that's what happened at the greek house this round... nothing special just the same old thing. I really hate that stupid cow! We'll catch up with Jeannie and Wes [who are going to be living in sin] and Brittany and William later on in the round, Addie and Stella will be moving back to the Teer Homestead in Round 8. We're heading over to check up with Pamela Devivio, Jack Copur and Flora next.))
