The Summerdream Family

 

In Veronaville live the Summerdream family, they are Oberon, Titania, Puck and Bottom who all have elven features and live in this dream like house.

The house is in the midst of a party for Puck who had invited his teen sweetheart Hermia and her sister Juliette.

Autonomously falling in love Oberon and Titania use the occasion to get married cheered on by the party goers.

This is the house from the front,

and from the back it looks like a giant stage. :)

It was a great party for this Tuesday night our story began.

Puck incidentally is a Popularity Sim who wishes to have 20 best friends.

Titania is a Family Sim who wishes to be Captain Hero, she found the Law Enforcement career early the next day.

Oberon is a Knowledge Sim, he wants to reach the top of the Entertainment career but has not found the job today so will stay in the Slacker career for now.

Puck bought his friend Mallory Mace home from school on Wednesday and celebrated his first A+

Oberon helped both his kids with their homework and young Bottom is hopeful that she too will soon get an A+

No one has yet learnt to cook so Bottom ordered pizza.

She loves spending time with her big brother.

Once Bottom and his Dad were in bed (Titania was at work on the evening shift) Puck made a call to his friend Hal Capp.

They are sneaking out this Thursday morning... Run Puck RUN before Titania comes home!

Titania was promoted to Cadet and celebrated like she'd become Captain Hero before finally stopping and going to bed.

and just before 4am poor Puck was busted by the cops. 

His parents were mad but didn't stay mad for long as Titania had some surprising news.

Bottom is super active and loves to skill, especially skipping.

Oberon made best friends with Mercutio.

Bottom celebrated her A+

On Friday morning the family sit down to breakfast.

 Titania hasn't been to work since she was pregnant as her needs have been low and she's so tired all the time.

Oberon is a Freelance Photographer and is greeted by Bottom after work.

Titania is craving her Grandma's soup!

Oberon and Titania can't wait to find out which, if any of their features their baby will get...

They don't have to wait long to find out, young Snug makes her appearance in the early hours of Saturday and so far she's just like her Dad with her skintone and eye colour.

They use their 4th bedroom as a nursery.

Oberon had hired a Maid some time ago as the housework was not getting done, Puck is the neatest of the family but was too busy making his 5th best friend to worry about cleaning.

Bottom had several friends too and kept up with her gossip on a daily basis.

Puck was already in a teen career and soon reached the top. He hasn't rolled a wish for college yet so he's just skilling and making friends.

It's soon time for another party,

Here's Bottom the teenager. 

Lots of guests attended and it was necessary to keep Antonio away from everyone and Consort away from Isabella... ah these Capps and Monty's! 

Even though the Police broke up the party it was still a roof raiser.

Bottom rolled Knowledge and it's her dream to be a World Class Ballet Dancer someday.

The beauty of 4 almost grown ups means that everyone can look after little Snug.

Bottom had a wish to be in Private school and called the Headmaster over.

He loved the tour and the food and after some grilling about school work enjoyed a cup of coffee with (newly promoted to Freelance Web Designer) Oberon before admitting both Bottom and Puck to his school.

Just before the week ended it was time for Snug's birthday into Toddlerhood,

She got the family elf ears too.

Titania wanted to teach her all the toddler skills and started with talking,

Then took Snug to a mirror to give her a hairstyle with cute bonnet to finish the week.

Summary,

I love playing this family they are always to friendly to everyone.

Bottom wishes for college now and Puck has rolled a few times but they will have to wait until we come around next round.

Still no Entertainment for Oberon although he is doing well with his career.

Titania keeps wishing for more babies but so far I am ignoring her. :D

Nervous Subject

 

Here we are for the 6th story in a row from Strangetown- this time for Nervous Subject who finally got away from the Beaker household to rent his own rather lovely apartment. It's got one bedroom and has an open plan living/dining/kitchen area.

Here's our Mohican sporting Nervous who brought a colleague home from his Criminal Career.

Nervous is a Family Sim of course whose lifetime wish is to reach his Golden Anniversary.

The next morning after doing the crossword Nervous checked for job prospects and found the Military career, he decided to switch as he would rather do good than bad. 

Also he looks pretty cool in his Uniform. :D

After work he is invited out by some old and new friends to the Sugar Cube Bowling Lanes.

Nervous enjoys spreading gossip about General Buzz to Uma Zaidi.

In fact he enjoys spreading gossip to anyone and about anyone!

On Wednesday Nervous had the day off and decided to get out there and see the world.

He wished for a Mountain getaway and found himself at the Axe Wood Campground where it is free to stay as long as you don't mind sleeping in a tent.

Nervous enjoyed getting to know some of the other holidaymakers while they fished in the vast Lake.

He tried digging for treasure and found himself a map to a secret location.

He went to find it straight away and met the mysterious B.J Bigfoot who taught him how the locals greet each other.

The next day he went to the Lumber Mill where he tried his hand (or feet) at log rolling and won.

He went on a trip and disturbed a nest of very angry bees.

He then very nearly took his own head off when attempting to axe throw.

After all that excitement, the next day he found a market and got himself some warmer clothing.

He caught his biggest fish yet!

Then at the 3 Lakes Plaza he asked Emmy Hourvitz on a date and she said yes.

They talked, they danced and they toasted each other.

Emmy even let Nervous steal a bite of her food.

They shared their first kiss.

and finished their date cuddling under the stars.

You don't find a 3 bolt love very often. :)

Soon though Nervous was back home and having to pay his bills. It's nice that Emmy dropped their 'great date' flower off all the way from the Mountains.  Nervous couldn't wait to see her again so called to invite her to stay.

When he woke up he called work with his 'really bad cough'...

*snigger*

Just as well he was at home as Emmy turned up just around 10am and Nervous couldn't wait to kiss her...

and when they came inside he was still kissing her.

Talk about sweeping her off her feet... she said 'Yes' though!

Wasting no time and because Nervous had no idea how long Emmy would stay, he called a couple of friends and chose the outdoor venue of L'Amore Weddings for the ceremony.

Emmy is now Mrs Subject. :)

Emmy is a Knowledge Sim who wishes to be a Mad Scientist one day, she brought a healthy 19K to the household. She wishes to have a baby while Nervous wishes to have a kitten! :D

He was pretty pleased with his wedding night though and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Baby Bump number 1 on Saturday means that's Emmy 1 (baby), Nervous 0 (kitten). :D

On Sunday the new Junior Officer had a day off and awoke to find that Emmy had put the Christmas decorations up while he was sleeping.

Nervous made some Santa cookies.

He asked his friends Bella and the Curious brothers to come over to visit,

and they spent most of the afternoon in the communal hot tub.

It was a lovely visit though and afterwards Nervous and Emmy stayed up late skilling and calling friends but Santa didn't come. :(

The Gyspy did though, she left a lamp and upon summoning the genie Nervous made a wish for Fortune. He got one sack of money straight away for 10K,

the next woke him up (7K) the same time Emmy's second bump woke her up,

and a third sack (4K), arrived as Nervous was about to take his morning shower!

Summary-

Will there be another sack of money next time? I think sometimes you get 4, the last being 1K. But I had to leave it there as time had run out.

It was a good round for Nervous and I'm glad he's found Emmy. I think Santa didn't come because either he doesn't like apartments or because they didn't have a fireplace but they enjoyed their Christmas party without him.

Nervous and Emmy have just over 58K in their bank account and will definitely be moving to a house next time so they can raise their family, and maybe Nervous will get a kitten. :D
