Shikibu Family

 

We're back in Riverblossom Hills to play Cleo Shikibu. Cleo lives here in the house her Aunt Catherine bought for her at 202 Welsh Lane.

It's always really bugged me that the house is called the 'Wan' household after Cleo's old housemate Patricia even though it's officially Cleo's.

So because I couldn't move single sim Cleo out without her keeping the 'Wan Household' name I added a random Sim to the house, in this case it's former pop star actor Hilary Duff, and then I could move Cleo out. (But not before adding all the goodies in the house to her backpack). I then moved Hilary out and she will probably be seen around the hood and I may or may not add her to the list next round.

Of course I had to cheat funds to get Cleo her house back, but I didn't consider it cheating really as it was a means to an end and I made sure her funds were back down to the 2,000 odd simoleons that were in her account before.

I only made a couple of decor changes downstairs such as wallpaper while Cleo enjoyed the cosy fire.

The upstairs I wasn't super keen on the colours, 

so changed some of them to more natural and muted tones.

Cleo had just jumped out of the shower when she was alerted to the smoke alarm, oops it seemed the rug set on fire.

Thankfully the alarm got the fire service there in double quick time, Cleo likes a man in uniform it seems but only has 1 bolt of attraction to him.

Cleo oddly has the want to have a baby, which I have locked. She is a Fortune Sim with a wish to earn 100K and already a Studio Musician in the Music career she is earning over 1K a day and so will stay in this career for now.

Cleo went to the Round Barn General Stores to see if she could make some friends, she has a few but needs more for promotions.

There were all men here and she made a few new friends even though there were no big bolts of attraction to any of them.

Back home she chatted with the welcome wagon, Trisha Traveller, Nathan Gavigan and Chester Gieke.

The next morning Cleo was up early working on a Charisma skill,

and a body skill a little later. The day passed by quickly while she skilled.

It was her first shift of the week late on Tuesday. No promotion today.

She does enjoy working on her Creative skillset playing her career reward though.

Later Cleo went Downtown where she found the now adult David Ottomas very attractive!

She went to work later where it was decision time.... 

The decision paid off very nicely indeed for Cleo when she also came home with a promotion to Concert Pianist.

On Thursday Cleo asked David on a date and with the help of smart glasses they were soon smitten,

She decided to try for a baby and bells were certainly heard.

After which she wished to get engaged and as I've never played David past the teen/YA stage I went for engagement and wedding straight away.

Here they are in their wedding snapshot.

It was a low key affair but a good party.

David is a Popularity Sim who added just under 2K when he moved in but had lots of friends especially when he made his 10th best friend.

David is also in the Music career as his wish is to become a Rock God.

He left for work and returned as a Battle of the Bands Judge.

Thanks to David Cleo got another promotion.

She enjoyed a nice hot bubble bath when she got home,

in the very early hours of Saturday the first baby bump appeared for these soon-to-be parents.

David got himself a new look and it was nice to finally ditch the hat.

He invited his Mum over to meet his wife. At the time Cleo didn't know any of the Ottomas family so they didn't come to the wedding.

David was given a free TV from his friend Troy.

Baby bump number 2 at 3am on Sunday.

David invited his whole family over and when he greeted 'Everyone' there were a few townies walking by too which made for a big group.

David made Roast Turkey which he would eventually burn, but he served it anyway as he had to rush off to his job as a Roadie.

At just after 4am on Monday morning their new son Akira made his way into the world. 

You'd think David would be fed up of children having grown up in such a big household, but no, he adores his new son and weirdly has rolled the wish to have another baby! Cleo has a wish for a holiday so we will see who gets their wish next time.

Summary-

This was a lovely week, I haven't played Cleo since my Megahood way back when and I've never played David much at all.

Whether they will stop at one child or have a whole lot more is yet to be seen!
