Albany Capp

 
Here we are once again in Veronaville ready for a marathon 'Capp' session. 

This modest home is where Albany Capp and his family live.

It wasn't decorated quite so sparsely last time, but I obviously had the IKEA pack which doesn't come with the new Legacy version I am currently playing so I've lost beds and tables. If you zoom in you can see 3 side on sleeping sims in the lounge floating in mid air. :D 
Albany and Goneril are in their bed at least.

Albany is our Family Sim who wishes to reach his Golden Anniversary. He is in the Education career.
Goneril, his wife, is of a Fortune disposition and wants to become the Law as does their teenage son Hal.
Desdemona, their teen daughter, is a Pleasure Sim who wishes to become a Professional Party Guest some day. Their youngest daughter is Ariel who is still a child whilst their oldest Miranda, is at Uni.

Albany is a High School Teacher today and home in time to receive the grocery delivery. Young Ariel loves to Garden and is planting some new crops.

Goneril got a promotion to Legal Secretary.

Desdemona and Hal came home from school feeling sick so Albany rustled up some hearty soup to make them feel better.

Hal was better before work and reached the top of his teen career.

A new decorated wall for the living room shows Albany's career reward bookcase which is put to use by two of his kids.

After all that studying Desdemona snuck out with her friend Bottom Summerdream. She didn't get caught!

On Wednesday the whole family left for private school/work.

Albany is a University Guest Lecturer whilst Ariel got her first A+ and Goneril is a Paralegal.

Albany suddenly spun into Elderhood- (oops me).

A party was quickly thrown for little Ariel- at least one member of this family was remembered! 

She grew up well and rolled Romance. Oops I didn't note her LTW. 

It was a great party surrounded by all her family (for the most part- she got too tired before the party ended). :D

On Thursday Goneril brought a friend home and got promoted to Personal Injury Attorney. Albany is a High School Principal.

Being a private school student helped Ariel reach the top of her teen career after just one shift.

The whole family went to Veronaville's H&M and bought clothes.

Ariel was happy with her new look.

Albany is flying through his career and on Friday is a College Senior Professor.

It was a double celebration as Goneril was promoted also- now a Family Law Attorney she cooked up a turkey dinner for them all.

Making the most of Autumn Hal searched the skies whilst Ariel continued in her garden.

After dinner there was more skilling to be done.

A special treat on Saturday saw the Capp's arrive at Twikkii Island! They chose to stay in this new hotel- the BV Inn (found in the lots & houses bin).

They enjoyed getting to know the locals,

relaxing on the beach,

and staying up very late (look at poor Hal's plumbob) to catch the ghostly captain.

 At one point they almost lost their dad to electrocution!

Thankfully he was fine and Desdemona bagged herself a voodoo doll.

A highlight was a helicopter tour.

the downside to family... merciless teasing by the youngest who always gets away with everything!

Albany and Goneril autonomously cuddled while awaiting their transport home.

The rather sunburnt Ariel has a little crush on the paperkid.

Albany greeted DJ Verse and Guy Wrightley as they were passing by.

The teens were working on their dancing skills when Hal decided it was time to take his 8K worth of scholarships and leave for college.

Here he is in his new dorm where we will see him pretty soon.

Ariel meanwhile reaped the benefits of her hard work and gained a silver gardening badge.

and Desdemona enjoyed a date with Keith Cormier, although they have no bolts it was still a good date to end this Sunday night.

Summary-

A very busy week. I hadn't realised the house was so basic but I guess next time I can give it a makeover now the adults have done so well in their careers, Albany has earned his 25K moniker and Goneril 10K.
Another Capp off to college where we will see him again before too long.

Cameron- Neil

 
Here we are back in Riverblossom Hills and a new addition to the 'hood is the elder townie Neil Cameron.

Neil moved into 22W 175 Mountain Pass Road. You wouldn't want to be a postman around here that's for sure. :D

This is the inside of the bungalow after a minor alteration to add a wall around the second bed.

Neil is a Knowledge Sim with a lifetime wish to be a Mad Scientist. That career wasn't available and so Neil took the Adventurer career as he really wanted a job. (I realise now that I have a hack so elders can get an adult job and I'm good with it)- elders are not really 'old' in this game anyway and so on this Winter morning Neil set off to work.

First day, first chance card but what to choose?

Grilled Cheese-the only choice, really. :)

Neil got a promotion to Ambassador's Intern and celebrated with a trip to Green's Diner.

He'd hoped to meet LaShawn Cameron, his namesake fellow townie but it wasn't to be today. He did however make some new connections and had a nice dinner.

In the early hours of Tuesday Neil got up early to work on some body skills.

That paid off nicely when he was promoted to Spelunker.

A day off on Wednesday gave Neil a chance to catch up on some household maintenance.

He met Jane Landgraab IV and had a nice chat.

and La Shawn finally made an appearance! Her and Neil were introduced some time ago by the Jacquet's so have a little relationship already. I like to think of them as Uncle and Niece.

On Thursday Neil is a Multi Regional Sim of Some Question. :D

La Shawn was invited over again after work.

On Friday morning Jason Greenman ambled by and stopped for a chat.

Neil had to cut short the chatter to go to work.

No promotion but La Shawn and another townie came over. Now they are best friends Neil proposed she moved in and she agreed.

hmm, not quite what I was expecting but it turns out they have 2 bolts which I'm sure I can tweak to 3.
La Shawn is a Family Sim who wishes to marry off 6 kids!  Perhaps the Uncle/Niece scenario is about to change... ;)

La Shawn is in the Culinary career and may as well stay there as her LTW is not career related.

She's already dreaming of marriage...

and babies. ;)

As she'd brought 18K to the household a quick makeover saw the house flipped with large bedroom/bath at the end, an open plan kitchen/living space and a smaller room (original bathroom) now possibly a nursery?

Neil left for work Sunday as a Deep Sea Excavator.

Promoted to Relic Liberator he checked the paper for the last time this week and found Science where he will start at entry level as a Test Subject on Monday.

Fast Food Shift Manager LaShawn declared her love and proposed to Neil.

They had a brief ceremony right on their little porch.

Well, marrying off 6 kids is no mean feat- They had to get started!


Summary-
Funny how the game plans itself sometimes. I hadn't intended for these two to become a couple but La Shawn had other ideas. :D

I can't actually remember if baby chimes were heard so I guess we'll find out next time.
