Monty- Antonio

 

We are back in Veronaville for a stretch while we visit the various Monty families. 

Today we start with Antonio and his twins Benedick and Beatrice. They moved in here to 46 Bard Boulevard.

Antonio is a Knowledge Sim who wishes to become an Education Minister. He is currently an Executive Chef in the Culinary career and will keep this job for a while as he needs the funds this good job gives him. He and his children immediately walk off the lot to work/school.

The work/school day passed uneventfully and afterwards Antonio cooked up dinner.

The two 'B's brought home the two 'K's, Benedick brought home Kiera and Beatrice brought Korey.

Antonio needed skills and friends for promotion so met any passerby that he could.

He also had to tend to his children of course and the easiest way to help them increase their much needed fun levels was to play a game of red hands with them.

He then helped them both with homework. Beatrice is playing the newly opened free pc that was kindly donated that morning.

As the Children go to bed Antonio worked on a body skill while giving a tour of his spartan home.

Upstairs isn't much better but it's functional for now.

On Tuesday before school the twins get their fun levels up by blowing bubbles.

Antonio befriended Leo Wilkie.

He's also best friends with his daughter.

Benedick took advantage of the lemonade stand to see if he could help make some funds and Dora Ottomas kindly came by as his first customer.

His Dad was actually his second (and last) customer that day but it was enough for them to become firm friends.

On Wednesday Antonio met the Postie, Celeste Rossi.

He was home to celebrate the twins first A+'s.

He whisked up a batch of crepes,

Then threw a birthday party for his children. His parents, sister and good friends the Summerdreams' attended.

Beatrice was first, she grew up well and rolled Romance... LTW... Woohoo 20 Different Sims. :D

Then it was Benedick's turn...

He rolled Pleasure and has a LTW to have 50 dream dates. :)

It was nice to have a family gathering and for Antonio to really get to know his parents.

Whilst the twins had gone to bed already Antonio made best friends with his sister,

and his friend Oberon.

Which helped give him a roof raising party score.

He searched the skies a while on his new telescope to earn a skill.

Thursday was uneventful this week but on Friday they all set off for work and school.

Beatrice brought her friend home from school while this chap kicked over the trash, not sure why.

Antonio got a chance card where he picked 'Sporks of Steel' and earned himself 20,000 Simoleons! 

Hello house extension!

The downstairs is still one large open plan room with a new cloakroom off the side but with some upgraded furnishings and decor.

Upstairs everyone has their own bedroom and Antonio has an en-suite. The teens bathroom is extended a little too.

Benedick got a teen job in the Dance career and Beatrice in Medicine.

Beatrice is doing the later shift and used the time to make a new best friend,

before cooking up a batch of spaghetti.

On Saturday everyone finally left the home lot to visit Veronaville. As Bendick's LTW is to have 50 dream dates it will be easier I think to have him just have one partner and so he can take his time looking for that perfect someone. He didn't find them today but made some new acquaintances and bought some new clothes.

Romance Sim Beatrice of course went straight in with the smooth talking and soon had Ralph Enriquez eating out of the palm of her hand.

It's a good job his kids' are friendly because Antonio just seemed to rub every single Sim up the wrong way! In the end I brought them all home before full on fighting began.

On Sunday morning Beatrice invited Ralph over for their first kiss and a much needed aspiration boost for her.

Benedick met Ginger Newson walking by and befriended her.

Antonio had to fix the pc before he could look for Education. It wasn't there of course but it's time he started working on his own LTW.

Some Yoga before work saw Beatrice become super fit.

She arrived home with a best friend and a promotion, she's an overachiever!

As darkness fell Benedick arrived home (also as an overachiever) at the same time his Grandparents and cousin Romeo visited.

They all enjoyed a spaghetti dinner and some games. Antonio made best friends with his father.

and Benedick did the same with his Grandmother whilst Romeo and Beatrice chilled out in the lounge.

Summary:-

I really enjoyed this week at Antonio's. Normally I don't have him interact with his family so much and that seemed quite remiss of me especially as historically his parents don't live that long.

Next time the Twins will most likely go to college so I can get started particularly on Beatrice's LTW!
