After several days of my computer being in and out of the computer shop (dead power supply, ahh!) and having the computer shop double my RAM, I was finally able to play. I headed to Pleasantview to play the Larson family. It consists of Jason Larson, his wife Kitty (both elders now), and their teenage daughter Jaki (a romance sim). Jason works in the law enforcement career as Police Chief. Kitty is at the top of the crime career as a Criminal Mastermind.
Tuesday morning saw Jason settle down on the couch with a cookbook to gain a cooking skill point. The local gypsy matchmaker crept by the house to leave the family a genie lamp. Jason and Kitty headed to the bedroom for a little morning woohoo before Jason had to leave for work. Kitty got to make her first wish to the genie - she wished for beauty and from then on men flocked by the house in droves in the hopes of catching a glimpse. Kitty headed to the backyard to chill on the bubble blower awhile, then over to the family's bar to juggle tumblers. She spent some of the afternoon spying on the neighbours through her telescope. Jason was promoted to Captain Hero (his LTW). Kitty headed off to work. Jaki gained a little weight after dinner, which is where too much enthusiasm in cuisine inevitably leads. Jason practiced his chess skills and then spent some time bowling in his private bowling lane. Jaki settled down to do her homework while Jason called all his friends to invite them to a house party. After her homework was done, Jaki performed on the guitar for the party guests. Jason decided he'd really like to visit his vacation home, so he called to book an immediate flight to Twikkii Island.
During his vacation, Jason spent some hard earned dollars on learning to give hot stone massages. He spent a great deal of time relaxing in the hot springs. He learned how to hula from a pretty islander girl. He threw a party for all the locals he'd met at his vacation home and made friends with Zeeshan Sims. The party was a success. He also made friends with another Twikkii Islander, Tracy Royce. He threw another party which was equally successful. He made a booty call to his wife Kitty and she joined him in his vacation home for the remainder of his vacation. She made friends with an Islander named Goopy Kimbrell while she was there. Jason headed home having enjoyed his vacation immensely.
And back to Tuesday (darn time discrepancies in vacations). Upon arriving home from his vacation (with his party still going on), Jason called Zeeshan to shoot the breeze and they became best friends. One of the party guests broke the shower/tub and Jason called the repairman to come the next morning. After work, Kitty decided to go on a night hike. Jason's party was a success.
In the early hours of Wednesday morning, Jaki reached maximum enthusiasm in music and dance and headed to bed. Kitty baked a batch of Santa cookies for a midnight snack and spent the rest of the wee hours having a long water balloon fight with Jason. When Jaki awoke, she practiced on the guitar until it was time for school. Kitty and Jason both went to bed at 8am (it was their day off anyway). After school Jaki quickly got her homework out of the way. When Jason awoke he spent some time bowling and threw a house party. He called Zeeshan to invite him to come and stay as a houseguest - he agreed to book the next available flight to arrive the following day. Jason went jogging (his hobby is fitness). Jaki invited her friend Heather Ruben over to hang out and join the party atmosphere. Later that evening, Jaki arranged to leave for college and headed off to Sim State University to start her life as a young adult.

Kitty decided she wanted to start growing her own food and purchased a lemon tree for the front yard. Jason's party was a success. Kitty spent much of the night bowling and smustling in the bathroom.
On Thursday morning Jason studied and mastered couples counselling (which may come in handy now that I have ACR installed) before he went to bed (he had the day off again). Kitty started the morning by making a long entry in her diary. She purchased a DJ booth to make the house even more party friendly. Zeeshan arrived to stay with the Larsons, but he left only a sim hour after arriving (weirdo!). Kitty and Jason headed to the bedroom for another morning woohoo. They seemed to feel more comfortable with one another without Jaki in the house. Jason later spent some time on his exercise equipment working out. He decided it was time to update his kitchen counters and bought some that reminded him of his time in Twikkii Island. Kitty headed off to work. Jason spent the hours watching the cooking channel, bowling with Dirk Dreamer and playing with the bubble blower. Kitty chose to order pizza at work for her co-workers, who loved it so much that one of them decided to come home with her. Upon arriving home, she played drums for a while and then played catch with townie Roger Sartor. Senility was starting to show in the household, with Kitty spending hours jumping rope and smustling with Jason.

At least they had fun, I guess. They weren't at all upset about their empty nest - they seemed to thrive on it.
