Today I headed to Strangetown to play Pascal and Aurora Curious' family.
Sunday was Pascal's day off work. While Aurora spent some time on the computer playing Sims 3 (heh, I actually uninstalled Sims 3 from my own computer the other day and don't regret it. I haven't played it since a week after it was released and never plan to play it again, which added up to wasted hard drive space), Pascal spent some time with Buddy teaching him to shake.
(By the way, Buddy is a maremma and I created the breed myself since the game sorely lacked it. If you're interested in downloading the breed, just message me requesting it and I will happily upload.) Buddy eventually got the hang of shaking hands. Aurora happily headed off to her first day of work since Annie's birth. She brought a work colleague, Craig Ray home with her. That evening, one of the random townie walkbys managed to clog the family's toilet. Irritating.
Pascal stayed up extremely late in to the early hours of Monday morning teaching Buddy yet another command - come here. He then called the repairman to come fix the toilet during work hours before going to bed. It was his day off again, so it wasn't as if he had to worry about getting up for work. When he did get up, he spent some time practicing his chess skills. Aurora invited Craig over in the hopes of getting to know him better. They soon became firm friends, and being a romance sim, Aurora started with the flirting. She and Craig quickly developed a mutual crush. Since Pascal was still outside at the chess table, Aurora stole a few kisses from Craig. So that brings Aurora's secret boyfriend count up to three. She drove to work with Pascal none the wiser. Thanks to Pascal's tireless efforts in training him, Buddy was promoted to Seeing Eye Pet (and I've definitely unlocked all the unlockables, curses!) When Aurora got home from work, it was time for Annie to grow up in to a toddler. Hers was not the only birthday. Aurora also grew up well in to an elder. Wearing a bridal gown, no less. (I couldn't help but LOL at the irony of a romance sim growing up in to bridalwear! And because I'm not without a sense of humor, I decided not to change it. I even added a veil for the full effect!) She and Pascal went to bed, leaving little Annie in the care of Buddy, whom she adores.
On Tuesday morning, Aurora harvested some very bland apples from the apple tree. It was the first harvest - both she and Pascal are still getting the hang of gardening. Pascal once again practiced his chess skills. Pascal + games = true love. A terrible storm blew in during his chess time, and lightning started a fire in the front yard, causing Pascal to panic unnecessarily. The rain put it out. Aurora called Craig and invited him over to spend some time with her. Pascal took the limo to work but it was Aurora's day off. She spent some quality time reading to Annie and later received a phone call offering a subscription to the film and literature magazine. She accepted. After work, Pascal made a beeline for the chess table to get in some more practice. Since he was thus occupied, Aurora called one of her boyfriends, townie Neil Chalmers to ask him on a date. They chose to meet at The Corner Shoppes for their secret tryst. There they indulged in some very romantic slow dancing in the moonlight.
Afterwards, they spent some time discussing their mutual interests. They had an okay time and Aurora had to drive straight home to bed. She was exhausted and in danger of passing out. Pascal gave Buddy a bath before he too went to bed.
