Gameplay: November 18th 2009


Today I headed to Pleasantview's Sim State University and moved Meidie Tellerman in to the Bright Household with Erik Swain.

On Monday morning Erik spent some time playing bass and gained a creativity point. Meidie declared a major in physics and went straight to her first class. When she got back, she called all her friends to invite them to a sports party and called townie Clarence Philippine for a chat. 
 
Erik called his friend Sam Thomas for chat before class and they became best friends. It was time for his final exam and thanks to all the time spent with his fiance, who just happens to be his professor, he passed with a grade of C+. Meidie invited Clarence over to join the party and spent a little time catching up on the music and culture section of the newspaper. She then spent all her time hanging out with Clarence and they became friends. The party was a complete success. As soon as it was over, Erik invited Sam over and Meidie called Clarence to ask him to come back over. She spent a little time flirting with him in the backyard and they developed a mutual crush on one another.
Erik started Tuesday with some smustling in his pajamas on the front lawn before class. Meidie was in a smustling mood as well, but she did it in the kitchen where the stereo was before also going to class. When he got home, Erik called his fiance, Prof. Abbey Walter to ask her out on a date. They met at Sugar Cube Bowling and after a very silly pillow fight in the street, they headed inside to the photo booth to get their picture taken together, with Erik actually getting to keep this one. They immediately settled down in to a heavy makeout session in front of the photobooth, then according to Prof. Abbey's preference they retired to Erik's car for a woohoo. This was followed by some in-car making out and another woohoo. The date was a dream date and Erik headed home to write his last ever term paper. Meidie spent a lot of time drinking at their bar. As soon as he'd finished his term paper Erik called his friends to invite them to a sports party. Meidie spent the party performing on the bass in the hopes of making some tips. She gained a creativity point as well as being tipped by the one person who could least afford it - Sam Thomas, who tipped her $50. Erik spent much of the party hanging out with Sam and then received his almost daily phone call from Katy Bui the Atrociously Evil Witch. They've never spoken in person apart from Erik once greeting her whilst on a date, but she calls most every day without fail and they have developed a stimulating telephone friendship. This friendship was finally upgraded to best friend status and Erik's party was a roaring success.
On Wednesday morning Erik headed to class and Meidie smustled in the bathroom before class. When she got home, she called her friends to throw another sports party and invited her new love interest, Clarence to come along and join the fun. She spent much of the party hanging out on the front porch with her BFF Beau Broke. Erik harvested some tasty lemons from the lemon tree and put them in the fridge for later meals. He called Prof. Abbey to ask her on another date and met her at Comandgo Emporium for a pillow fight and a very long slow dancing session across the street. This was evidently all Prof. Abbey needed to have a good time. He headed home to see Meidie's party end successfully. He later drove over to My Muse - Music & Dance Studio to enter a dance contest. He lost the first one, but gained a body point in the process and won his second one. He headed home feeling triumphant. Meidie invited Beau over just so that she could blame him on her gas - charming! He took the joke with good humor, though. Meidie then drove herself over to My Muse - Music & Dance studio not wanting to be outdone by Erik. She was to be sorely disappointed. She lost four dance contests in a row before the judging DJ took pity on her and let her win the fifth. She gained a body point though. 
 
After Meidie got home, Erik called Katy Bui the Atrociously Evil Witch and invited her over to hang out with him until bedtime.

Because it was one of those nights that are too hot too sleep, I headed to Strangetown to play the Davis family.

Al started Sunday morning by jumping rope in the kitchen and getting underfoot like a typical child. Almeric gave Leroy a bath and Rebecka updated her cuisine blog. Almeric settled down in front of the tv to watch a dvd until it was time for Rebecka and him to go to work, leaving Al in the care of his nanny. Al called Milony Loner for a long chat and later invited her over. After a game of catch in the front yard and a chat they became friends. Al's nanny was hopeless at her job and refused to make him anything to eat all day, so he had to call for a pizza delivery to avoid starving. After a few slices, he hid away in his room playing with his toy rocket ship. Milony clogged the toilet and Al called the repairman to come out the following day and fix it. He wasn't mad. When he got home, Almeric invited his BFF Holly Worthington over to hang out. Rebecka was promoted to Con Artist and Almeric decided to throw her a party to celebrate. Rebecka spent her evening teaching Leroy to speak in the hopes of getting him promoted and even though she didn't socialize with any of the guests, the party was a big success.
Rebecka had Sunday off work and started her day by updating her cuisine blog. Almeric served up a pancake breakfast and became best friends with Al during the morning meal. Rebecka headed to the easel to practice painting and gained a creativity point which she needed as well as three more that she didn't. Al settled down on the couch to watch a dvd and Almeric drove to work. Al spent some time jumping rope in the kitchen and gained a body point. Rebecka received a phone offer of a subscription to the arts and crafts magazine, which she accepted. Al found some old physiology books and spent much of the day learning all he could to master the subject. Precocious little scamp! Afterwards, he ran outside in to the spring sunshine and jumped rope to gain another body point. When Almeric got home from work, he called a bunch of his friends to invite them to a party. Rebecka gained membership to My Muse II - Art Studio for all her recent painting. Almeric invited his twin brother Aldric over to join the party and they became friends at last. Al decided to clean the bathroom and gained a cleaning point for his trouble. Everybody at the party had a good time.
Al started Monday morning by yet again jumping rope in the kitchen. Rebecka once more updated her cuisine blog, though she never cooks anymore, so I've no idea what she finds to write about. Almeric called Aldric for a chat and they became best friends. Everybody headed off to work and school, including Leroy. At lunch, Al ate some salmon regardless of the fact that he thought it smelled a bit dodgy - this was a huge mistake on his part and he was very ill in the bathroom at school. Leroy was promoted to Understudy (and I unlocked a new cat collar which I doubt I'll ever use - blue camo is so 1992!) After work, Rebecka settled down to study and gained a much needed mechanical point as well as two she didn't yet need. She's a lady who likes to keep one step ahead. Almeric threw another party after work and invited Aldric along so they could spend some more quality time together. Al grew up well in to a teenage family sim, and quite the looker, I might add. 
 
Almeric called townie Phil Jitmakusol to invite him over so they could get to know one another better and they became good friends. Al was too stressed to finish his homework, but the party was a success.

Gameplay: November 15th 2009

Today I headed to Strangetown to play the Davis family (Almeric, Rebecka and Al).

On Wednesday Rebecka was promoted to Bagman and headed straight to bed exhausted after work. Almeric invited his BFF Ophelia Nigmos over to hang out after work. He also decided that now that Al was a child the family needed to get a pet to teach him responsibility. Almeric called the pet adoption agency and adopted a puppy named Leroy. Rebecka was up from her nap at 10pm and Al finished all his homework before bed.
Rebecka spent the early hours of Thursday morning updating her cuisine blog. In the living room, Ophelia Nigmos was being pursued by townie Phil Jitmakusol thanks to ACR.

 
Rebecka served up a midnight snack of chef salad and then spent the wee hours bonding with Leroy. After once again updating her cuisine blog (I swear she's as bad as I am - updating every time she does anything related to her hobby) she spent a few hours playing SSX3 and darts. When Al got up, he spent some time jumping rope in the kitchen until it was time for him to go to school. It was Almeric's day off. He served up a delicious pancake breakfast for himself. Leroy grew in to a healthy adult dog. Al earned his first ever A+ report card and was incredibly excited about it. Rebecka headed off for her first night of work as a Bagman. Almeric spent the evening poring over his self help books and learned the secret to lifelong happiness. Afterwards he called Phil Jitmakusol for a chat in the hopes of getting to know him better and they became friends. Al once again tackled his homework before bed.
The early hours of Friday morning saw Rebecka get promoted to Bookie and fall straight in to bed exhausted. Almeric served a basic breakfast of cereal for the family and Al jumped rope in the kitchen again before school and earned a body point. Almeric settled down on the couch to watch a dvd before work. Rebecka spent some time updating her cuisine blog before purchasing an easel with her promotion money and practicing her painting skills to gain a much needed creativity point before she had to go to work. After work she updating her cuisine blog yet again. Almeric called all his friends to invite them to a house party that evening. Rebecka continued her painting and gained another creativity point, which she also needed. Al plowed through his homework early and Almeric jumped on the computer to find Leroy a job in the Showbiz career as an Extra. Afterwards, he called townie Jay Bruty for a quick chat before bed. Everybody at the party had a good time.

Later on, I didn't stray far. I decided to play the Loner family in Strangetown, as I've been neglecting them terribly lately. It consists of Ajay Loner, his wife Holly, and their twin daughters Jeevika and Milony (currently children, and non-identical). Ajay works in the medical career as a Paramedic and Holly works in the business career as a Business Executive. The family has two cats; Alvin and Angel. Alvin is a working kitty in the showbiz career as an Understudy, but Angel is a stay-at-home, regular cat.

Saturday was one of Holly's days off. She and Jeevika caught up on the highlights of their past week and became best friends. Ajay spent much of the day playing the family's piano and gained a creativity point. Holly served up some delicious chili con carne for lunch and Milony spent much of the afternoon jumping on Jeevika's bed. Jeevika sat down with her mother's cookbooks and gained herself a cooking point. Ajay finally gained membership to My Muse - Music & Dance Studio before heading to work. Milony took over from him on the piano and gained a creativity point of her own. Jeevika spent the evening stargazing through the telescope and gained a logic point.
Milony started Sunday morning by playing some more piano and gaining another creativity point. Jeevika and Holly spent the early hours of the morning hanging out together in the front yard. Holly had the day off again and served a basic breakfast of cereal for the girls. Ajay once again spent much of the day at the piano. Milony decided to man her lemonade stand but only sold one cup of lemonade. She headed back inside to watch a dvd and some regular Sunday programming. Holly called townie Brittany Wendland for a chat and it turned out Brittany also works in the business career - she promised to pull some strings to make sure Holly gets higher wages from now on. Ajay headed off to work, vacating the piano for Milony, who gained another creativity point. Holly called Bruce Rauscher for a chat in the hopes of getting to know him better and was not at all tired so decided to pull an all-nighter.
In the early hours of Monday, Holly served a midnight snack of crepes suzette, which only she ate. She headed to her easel to begin a painting. Ajay played piano yet again and gained another creativity point. Holly and Jeevika became BFFs and Holly went off to work. Jeevika managed to fit in time for a dvd before school. Holly was promoted to Senior Manager and Ajay reached maximum enthusiasm in music and dance. Holly invited Bruce Rauscher over to hang out after work. It was the twins' birthday and they both grew up well in to teenagers. Jeevika grew in to a fortune sim and Milony grew in to a family sim. Ajay headed to work and Milony tackled her homework, though Jeevika was too sleepy to finish hers. Holly served up some hamburgers for dinner and then continued work on her painting, gaining a creativity point in the process. Ajay was promoted to Nurse and grew up well in to an elder.

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?
