Cleveland Family

Here we are in Belladonna Cove at the Bella Park Condominiums where the Cleveland family live.

They have a spacious apartment with kitchen, dining room, living room, Justin's bedroom and a bathroom on one floor,

and Marissa and Jason's bedroom, bathroom, a study area and patio upstairs.

Although Marissa doesn't need a job she really wants one and so finds the Criminal career which matches her Lifetime Want.

Jason is in the Law Enforcement career to work towards his LTW to earn 100K and whilst their son Justin didn't take after his parents' in the Fortune path he is a Popularity Sim that wishes to become a General one day.

He has a teen job in the Military.

Marissa goes to greet some neighbours, some of which she can see and others that are 'in the dark'. 

Justin greets the newspaper delivery teen.

Jason greets the post lady Lilly and Marissa says hello to a passerby.

Justin bought his friend Andrzej home from school where they watched some tv before he had to leave for his teen job.

And Jason brought his colleague Sierra Phillips home.

Jason likes to work on his skills and put his mechanical knowledge to the test while fixing the tv.

On Tuesday morning Marissa thought she'd take a peep at the neighbours with Jason's newly acquired telescope.

It's always funny until you get caught... Gabriel Green here didn't think it was so funny to be spied upon whilst he was having his Cornflakes.

After school Justin bought Allyn Chong home, he's a popular kid it seems.

Marissa made Mac n Cheese for dinner,

which was good as Justin bought his friend Cathy Muller home from work.

Needing to blow off steam the family headed down to Cratus Gym in Belladonna Cove where they spent more time chatting and dancing than working out...

They all felt the need to jump in the hot tub back at home to soothe their imaginary aches and pains. :D

Justin even surprised his parents by making Spag Bol for dinner.

On Thursday Marissa met Edward Inada.

Jason came home from work as a Detective.

He went to work on another logic skill.

Justin and Cathy are best friends now,

and Marissa got some aspiration points for a promotion to Con Artist.

On Friday a big boost for Justin when he made his 5th best friend.

Marissa had a chat with their Landlady.

Once again Justin and Cathy are home from their teen jobs and dancing away whilst Jason tests out his new fingerprint gun.

After that Jason went back to the roof to earn a logic skill while Marissa works on getting 'creative' in her career reward 'electric' chair.

On Saturday it's time for a bit of relaxation so the family go to the Corner Shoppes.

Justin meets a new friend and plays some pool,

while Marissa checks out the goofy photo her and Jason took.

Later that day Justin decides it's time to fly the nest and go to college... his Mum waved him off as he moved into his new dorm.

On Sunday it's family day and Jason greeted Geoff Rutherford, Marissa's brother

along with his room mate Connor Weir.

They spent the whole day together eating, chilling and chatting before Jason made a phone call and invited a couple more friends over...

for his Birthday party! 

He almost put his back out spinning into Elderhood.

He gives a 'tough handshake' to his friend Vivian Cho.

and thoroughly enjoyed his party.

As he chooses a new outfit for his Elder years we ask the questions for next time...

Will Jason earn his 100K before he has to retire?

Will Marissa ever make it to Criminal Mastermind?

and will Justin return back to the family home after college or move on elsewhere?

We'll find out next time!

This wasn't a bad apartment to play really, I hate though that when they make a meal sometimes they traipse all the way down and outside to put food on the tables... makes for really slow game play. I guess some things you can't program at all. :D
