Connor Weir

 

In Belladonna Cove Connor Weir moved out of the large house on the hill where he rented a room from his friend Geoff Rutherford in order to concentrate on his own life and lifetime wish to have 6 Grandchildren some day.

315 Bella Park Road is a small home, you can see Connor playing in the bathtub (which I had to then sell as he couldn't get to the shower). His furniture was donated from his friend Geoff. :)

I'm not a fan of how Maxis did this, they shoved something upstairs, no walls which means it's considered 'outdoors' and there's no room to do/place anything. When Connor has more funds it will be renovated.

On this Monday morning Connor is leaving for his job in Business as a Junior Executive.

Of course he missed the welcome wagon but he did come home promoted to Executive.

Later that night he got a call from his friend Isabel Baldwin for a get together Downtown.

They enjoyed some pool and dancing,

and it was a good job Connor was promoted as he had to pay the dining bill.

On Tuesday morning Connor rang for a pizza before work, it should last him a few meals but of course his real motivation was to see if he could find a 3 bolt love, he did not.

Connor got a chance card which gave him 2 logic & 2 creativity skills and after work was promoted to Vice President helping him earn 10K.

He went on a date with Allyn Thompson the Garden Club lady but they had no attraction and so he ended the date after it got to 'good' status.

On Wednesday Connor was promoted to President and went on a date with Theresa Tse who he'd had a blind date with when he lived at Geoff's. There is two bolts of attraction here but Theresa pushed him away went he went in for a smooch.

Connor treated himself to a telescope hoping he might get a start on that LTW himself while he finds the perfect partner. His feet stayed firmly on the ground but he gained a logic skill.

On Thursday another company tried to poach Connor but he decided to stay loyal to his firm which gave him a 5K bonus and promotion to CEO. He's now earned 25K.

Friday morning rolled around and Connor called up Ramir Patel before work, hmm does he find Ramir attractive or does he just wish that he was that handsome? ;)

After work Connor reached the top of the Business career. He has 34K in his bank account now so maybe one day he'll be back up on the hill by his old buddy Geoff.

Connor brought a colleague home who immediately set him up on a blind date with the Diva but again there was little attraction and Connor ended the date swiftly.

Keen as he is to find a 3 bolt love Connor treated himself to a holiday and left in the early hours of Saturday.

He arrived at the Flaming Dragon Hotel in Takemizu Village.

He enjoyed a game of Mahjong with the locals, which he won.

He got lucky at the Lucky Shrine and won some money.

Not so lucky after a trip when his moods really bottomed out. At least his plumb bob matches the decor!

A good massage helped bring his moods back up.

Connor was taught the art of teleportation.

Despite having a great friendship with the Wise Old Man the Dragon Tale was not shared with Connor but he was taught how to Tai Chi.

and despite all his efforts he did not find a 3 bolt match before his holiday was over.

Back home on Saturday he met Theresa for a date at the Centre Drip Coffee house but Allyn was there and even though they had only shared one measly date she was still mad enough to slap Connor.

Then Connor and Theresa went and fell in love while I wasn't watching.

Connor had asked Theresa back to his place and a little later he popped the question, she said YES!

On Sunday they met at St. Simius and became man and wife.

Here they are goofing about for their photo.

The new Mrs Weir got a faceful of cake but took it in good humour.

Theresa is a fellow Fortune Sim, she had the Creativity career reward in her backpack owing to the fact that she is a Counterfeiter in the Criminal career. She wishes to earn 100K for her LTW and added 5K to the family pot.

They had a celebratory Grilled Cheese sandwich dinner because neither of them can really cook.

and we leave them here this Sunday early evening as the snow is falling and Allyn has kicked over the trash, again! :)

Summary- A good week for Connor, he really concentrated on earning the big bucks for most of the week and I gave up looking for a 3 bolt love as he really needs to get on and have kids. Connor will be a Dad next time, ;)

Klara Vonderstein- Senior Year

 

We are back at Veronaville's La Fiesta Tech to visit Klara in her Senior Year. She is here with five fellow students including the Davis brothers Aldric & Almeric and Blossom Moonbeam.

Stella Terrano is her fourth dorm mate,

and William Williamson is the final student. William will graduate without me ever really having played him save to get his skills/grades for class and the odd phone call.

Klara is a Fortune Sim who wishes to become a Media Magnate. She is in love with Aldric Davis, her choice not mine. :D

Almeric and Blossom too fell for each other even though Blossom and Aldric have better chemistry.

William finds Zoe Zimmerman highly attractive but we will have to wait until his proper turn to see how that goes, and of course her turn will follow not long after his.

Stella fell for townie Ryan Wheeler last time, they have 3 bolts!

You can never get through a Semester without the Campus Coach yelling at you to get fit, even if you are aleady fit.

But Blossom refused to move until she had finished studying Parenting.

Likewise for Klara as she finished Fire Safety training.

One by one they finished the first Semester.

Someone had a wish to throw a party and soon the dorm was full of students dancing and laughing.

Klara had the usual party wish for Woohoo and Aldric was happy to oblige.

ah guess it was Aldric's party. :)

The next day at breakfast the students discussed their future plans.

As usual Stella is the first to finish her term paper.

Since Gunnar had graduated Aldric hadn't practised with the band but Klara and Blossom were happy to support.

They were such a success the crowd stormed the stage!

The next morning assignments were finished before they all awaited their final exams.

Almeric was the first to Graduate, 4.0 in Political Science, he threw a wild party for himself.

He changed into a most serious pinstripe suit and left the dorm.

He was followed by Blossom who'd earned a 4.0 in Biology, she joined him at their new home in Veronaville.

No party for Aldric though he got a 4.0 in Economics, he grew up in his pjs and left in his pjs. :)

Klara graduated with a 4.0 in Political Science.

Stella had gained a 4.0 in Literature, grew up and left next.

Klara followed on just after.

and finally William who'd got a 4.0 in Economics. These students love their pjs. :D

I moved Klara and Aldric in together and the first thing they did on moving day was curl up and watch the clouds. Yikes, hope that doesn't end in disaster next time! 

Summary- While I have played Stella many, many times before through her entire life I've only ever played the others for brief periods into adulthood and so I shall enjoy playing them next time.

I've noticed a few missing things since I installed Sims2 Legacy version, one is that the IKEA pack is missing so I'm a bit gutted as I liked that pack and the other is my favourite college rock song is missing :( 

Other than that the game is running great. :)
