Gameplay: October 5th 2009

Played my Davis family in Strangetown today.  Almeric Davis (the twin with glasses from La Fiesta Tech that came with University).  He was recently expelled from college due to being far too busy partying.  He moved in to Strangetown right next door to the Smith family and married a lovely sim girl named Rebecka.  They have a son, whom I named Al as it struck my fancy for all Davis males to have similar names.

Today's gameplay saw Almeric finally find his LTW career on the computer.  He wishes to be a Rock God, and he already got his first promotion today, as well as teaching his toddler son to talk and becoming best friends with Sanjay Ramaswami.  His wife Rebecka also finally found her LTW career (criminal), won her first cooking contest, taught little Al to walk and to use the potty by himself.  Al grew up well in to a child and was sent off to his first day of school.  Rebecka spent several hours cleaning up baby bottles and now the house looks neat, though rather undecorated.

What's happened to Almeric in your games so far?

After that I headed over to Veronavilla to play Miranda Capp.  She's in college at Academie Le Tour now, and grew into a far less attractive young adult than she was a teen.  She lives alone with her bird, Goldeneye.

Today's gameplay saw Miranda get put on academic probation after failing to do any study in her first semester of junior year.  She's an art major, by the way.  This academic probation didn't deter her from continuing to do no study, however.  Miranda's spent her time pursuing her hobby.  She's a huge nature buff.  She's spent her days birdwatching, hunting bugs and being chased by bees twice (Miranda always gets chased by bees more than any of my other sims), drinking at her bar, and playing with her gameboy in the bathroom.  She harvested her first apples today, which were bland.  She went fishing in her pond but caught nothing but an old boot.  She went on a lovely evening hike, but ran in to some poison ivy and itched for several hours.  She's only about eight hours from her next final exam and it looks like she'll be expelled for sure.  Maybe she'll grow into a less hideous adult.  We can only hope....

What have you done with Miranda?  Have you found a way to make her less unattractive in your game without plastic surgery?
