Today I headed to Veronaville to move Edwin Sharpe in to his first home as an adult. Oh, and since my graphics card hasn't freaked out once since I doubled my ram, I decided to turn everything up high halfway through today's gameplay for a trial run on whether it would crash. It didn't.

Edwin moved in on Monday and after furnishing his new home he invited his long time girlfriend and former college professor, Prof. Rose Kalson over on the premise of showing off his new home. When she arrived, however, he got down on one knee and asked her if she'd like to become Mrs Sharpe. She was overwhelmed and thrilled and agreed eagerly. They had a private backyard wedding witnessed only by the local paperboy. They immediately headed to the bedroom for their very first woohoo - that's right, Edwin waited until he was wedded. He's an old fashioned boy at heart. Afterwards, they sat down to lunch together to discuss their future lives together. Rose brought all her savings to the union which amounted to only $5000 with her being a poor underpaid professor. Edwin used some of the money to buy himself a much wanted telescope and then called all his friends to invite them to a housewarming party. He settled down with a cookbook to gain a cooking point and then invited college dormie Zeeshan Bradshaw over to join the party. Rose became friends with Ravi Perry, the college llama mascot during the party. She then decided to do some studying of her own and gained a cleaning point. The party was a bit of a snoozer, sadly. After it was over, Edwin called Demi Capp for a chat. The leader of the wolf pack destroyed Edwin and Rose's brand new bed, but they could afford to replace it, so it was no big deal.
On Tuesday morning Rose used Edwin's new telescope to spy on her new neighbours and gained a logic point. She then decided to purchase a chess set and sat down to practice and gain another logic point. Edwin invited Zeeshan Bradshaw over to hang out and they finally became friends. They decided to throw another party since the previous days' party was so lousy. Edwin settled down once more with his cookbooks and gained two cooking points. All through college he never cared about skilling and all of a sudden he's crazy about it. He then spent the remainder of the party slow dancing in the kitchen with Rose. Everybody at the party had a good time. Edwin chose to spend some more of their money in trading in his television set for a much bigger, more expensive model. He then called his friends to invite them to yet another party. Rose took a taxi downtown to buy herself a gameboy and Edwin studied some more to gain a cleaning point. He later slow danced with Rose out front of the house. Rose wanted to make some money and decided to freestyle for tips on the curb out front. One of the guests, Miranda Capp, really enjoyed her style and tipped her $50, no small sum for a poor college student like Miranda. Rose purchased a pinball machine and went to bed early all tired out. During the party, Demi Capp and Prof. Alvin Shahan had an awful fight on the front lawn, which Demi won. The party was a complete disaster. Edwin gained membership to Sue's Secret Kitchen for all his recent cooking study.
Edwin had some worrying dreams in the early hours of Wednesday morning about how he finds his sister, Roxie Flexor super hot - creepy! I swear, Veronaville is full of incestuous sister-brother relationships! Rose started the day by serving a simple breakfast of cereal for them both and then had a bout of senility, jumping on the couch before heading to the pinball machine to try it out. She later decided to juggle all the bottled water from the fridge. She spent much of the day freestyling in the kitchen in the hopes of earning some more tips. Neil Chalmers watched her for hours, and though he did plenty of awkward dancing and kept exclaiming over how sexy he found Rose, he didn't give her a single simoleon. 
 
Meanwhile, Edwin was at the cookbooks again and gained two more cooking points. Rose eventually gave up on ever earning anything but wolf whistles from Neil and took a taxi downtown to purchase an mp3 player before heading home to bed exhausted.

Later on, I headed to Strangetown to play the original Grunt family for a few simdays.

On Saturday morning Buck drove downtown to buy himself both an mp3 player and a gameboy. Trista went to work but it was Gen. Buzz's day off. He spent the morning teaching Wanda to walk. Buck baked a batch of Santa cookies, for which his father was extremely grateful. Gen. Buzz called everybody he knew to invite them to a party. Buck spent much of the party reciting his terrible poetry but nobody paid much attention. Gen. Buzz gave Whiskey a bath and managed to break the bathtub's plumbing in the process. He called the repairman to come out straight away. Trista was promoted to Record Store Clerk and brought home a work colleague named Sheila Patch. They spent a little time getting to know each other and became friends. Almost as soon as the repairman left, Buck clogged the family's toilet and the repairman couldn't come back until the following morning. Gen. Buzz spent some more quality time with Wanda teaching her to sing a nursery rhyme and she gained a charisma point in the process. The party was successful. Trista settled down on the couch to watch some tv before inviting Sheila back over to hang out some more. After some innocent flirting, Buck developed a crush on his friend Solveig Thomason (townie). Gen. Buzz grew up well in to an elder and called his job to retire after a long and illustrious career in the military. He called his friends again to throw himself a retirement party. Buck gained membership to Sue's Secret Kitchen and Gen. Buzz's party was broken up by the cops and was a failure. Trista spent the evening teaching Wanda to talk.
Buck stayed up in to the early hours of Sunday morning poring over the family's cookbooks to gain himself a cooking point before bed. Gen. Buzz was up early and was pretty bummed about his failed retirement party. He spent the wee hours smustling in the bathroom in an attempt to cheer himself up with the ridiculous. He spent some quality time with Wanda and they became best friends. He served up a breakfast of grilled cheese sandwiches for the family and Trista invited Sheila over to spend a little time with her before work. Buck called all his own friends to invite them to a party and Gen. Buzz gave Whiskey another bath. Buck got the urge to learn to make grilled cheese sandwiches himself and served up a big plate of them for lunch. The party was a total snoozer, however. Trista was promoted again to Party D.J. She invited Sheila over and spent some time dancing in the living room. Buck was completely unsatisfied with his earlier party and made a few calls to throw another. He used some of Trista's promotion bonus to upgrade the family's stove. Gen. Buzz made a pig of himself by eating six grilled cheese sandwiches in a row. Buck started his party off by reciting his bad poetry again and nobody paid the slightest attention, but he gained a creativity point. Wanda gained a mechanical point from playing with her blocks and later finally got potty trained by Trista. Gen. Buzz served up - you guessed it! - grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and everybody at the party had a good time. Trista headed off for her first night of work as a Party D.J.
Trista went straight to bed after work on Monday morning. Gen. Buzz cleaned Whiskey's filthy food dish and gained himself a cleaning point for his trouble. He served grilled cheese for breakfast and Buck went off to school. Gen. Buzz called townie Calista Fuchs for a chat and later invited her over in the hopes of befriending her. This was easily achieved. He called his other friends to invite them to yet another party. When Trista got up, she spent some time with the how-to books and learned the basics of couples counselling. Buck did his homework as soon as he got home from school. Buzz relaxed awhile in the hot tub and Trista invited Sheila over to join the party. Ryan Wheeler clogged the toilet and Buck called the repairman to come fix it the following day. ACR kicked in and Trista lured Gen. Buzz in to the bedroom to try for another baby, but didn't fall pregnant. She washed Whiskey the constantly filthy dog and became best friends with Trista. She then called her friend Elise Almassizadeh to invite her to join the party too - they hadn't seen one another in quite some time. She spent some quality time with Wanda and they became best friends. 
 
Buck invited Solveig over to join in the fun and Wanda grew up well in to a child. Trista and Elise spent some time catching up and became best friends. Trista immediately called another of her friends, Cooper Olshfski to invite him over and they became best friends as well. Everybody at the party had a wonderful time. Afterwards, Gen. Buzz called Ryan Wheeler to invite him back over. When he arrived, they spent some time getting to know one another better and became friends. Wanda spent several hours chatting to Buck and they finally became friends as well. Trista headed off to another night of work after a very satisfying day for a popularity sim.
I headed in to Strangetown today to play what's left of the original Grunt family.  General Buzz recently remarried a much younger woman, Trista (I think it was Trista Shaw, townie, it was a while ago that I played them).  Trista is heavily pregnant with their first child together and is having a hard time of it.  Buck grew in to a teenage popularity sim.  Trista works in the law enforcement career as a Lieutenant.  The family has a dog named Whiskey, who works in the showbiz career as an Extra.

On Wednesday morning Buck cleaned the bathroom and gained a cleaning point for his trouble before heading off to school.  Gen. Buzz sat down at the family's chess table to practice his skills before work.  After taking care of her rapidly falling needs, Trista called all her friends to invite them to a house party.  Buck quickly buckled down to do his homework as soon as he got home from school.  After it was done, he bought himself a microphone and performed stand up comedy for the party guests, who didn't even bother to watch.  He gained his first creativity point anyway.  Gen. Buzz gained a cleaning point re-cleaning the bathroom and then smustled with the guests.  He headed back to the chess table to practice some more and gained a logic point.  The party was a total flop.
Thursday morning started early with Trista awakening in labor.  At 3:53am she gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Wanda.  Wanda has her daddy's coloring.  Trista immediately arranged a nanny to come during her work hours.  Gen. Buzz served a big grilled cheese sandwich breakfast for the family but mostly pigged out on it himself.  Buck washed a very filthy Whiskey dog and then spent the remaining time until school spending time with Whiskey, and they became friends.  It was off to school for Buck and off to her first day back at work for Trista.  The nanny she hired turned out to be a child harrasser.  Excellent.  Gen. Buzz decided to throw a house party, even though he was due to leave for work.  He figured he could trust the guests, and maybe they'd keep the nanny occupied.  Whiskey was offered a promotion to be assistant to his executive producer, but he declined and was fired as a consequence.  The party without any family present was a flop.  After school, Buck once again plowed through his homework.  When he got home, Gen. Buzz threw another party.  Trista scanned the newspaper looking for her dream job, and it was in there.  She quit her law enforcement job and accepted a position in the slacker career.  Buck was offered a subscription to the music and dance magazine and accepted.  During the party, ACR was doing it's stuff, with townies Nery Turner and Nikki Zhang woohooing in the hot tub.  There was a nasty fight in the living room between Cooper Olshfski and Jay Bruty, which Cooper won, and they became enemies.  The cops arrived to break up the party, but everybody had a surprisingly good time.
On Friday morning Trista managed to grab only and hours' sleep before it was time for work, and also managed to wake Gen. Buzz up early.  He served another grilled cheese sandwich breakfast, of which he ate five sandwiches.  He washed Whiskey, who is a quickly stinky dog.  Buck called Nery Turner to chat awhile until it was time for school.  It was Gen. Buzz's day off work, and he seriously spent the entire day eating grilled cheese sandwiches.  Disgusting.  Trista was promoted to Gas Station Attendant.  Buzz served yet more grilled cheese for lunch and ate all afternoon.  Trista threw a party to celebrate her promotion.  She was in bed exhausted by 2pm after a long day, however.  Everybody at the party had a good time.  Trista was woken by Wanda screaming for a diaper change but she was no longer tired enough to go back to bed after changing her.  She invited her new work colleague, Meredith Collins over to hang out so she could get to know her better.  Buck did his homework immediately after school again.  Gen. Buzz threw a house party and Wanda grew in to a toddler.

Trista headed to work and Gen. Buzz's party was broken up by the cops before it was even in full swing, making it another flop.  Trista was promoted again to Convenience Store Clerk.

Later on, I played the Larson family in Pleasantview.

On Friday morning Jason gained membership to Sue's Secret Kitchen before flying in to the air for his first day of work as Captain Hero.  Kitty baked some delicious Santa cookies for her breakfast.  Afterwards, she purchased a ballet barre and promptly forgot about it.  Senility, I'm telling you... Instead, she worked out on the family's old exercise machine to burn those cookie calories.  She managed to sneak in about an hour of sleep before it was time for work.  When Jason got home, he also worked out for a while before falling in to bed exhausted at 5pm.  His sleeping schedule's all out of whack.  He was up again well-rested at 10pm.  Kitty brought home a work colleague, Joe Wong, and showed off her awesome drumming talent for him.   Jason headed out for a midnight jog around the neighbourhood.  Joe seemed much impressed with Kitty's drumming, and afterwards they played a nice game of catch in the backyard and became friends.  He liked her so much he passed on a furniture discount to the family.
After catching some much needed sleep, Kitty starting Saturday morning with another session on the drums.  Jason worked out some (superheros need to keep in shape) and then called some friends for a house party before heading off for another day of fighting crime.  A terrible lightning storm raged all through the party and Kitty had a hankering to see just what it was like to be struck by lightning.  She jumped in rain puddles all day.  Lightning struck and started a fire on the wedding arch and also struck townie Joe Carr but it seemed that lightning was allergic to Kitty, though she kept trying until it was time for work.

What with the fire and one of the guests being struck by lightning, the party was a real dud.  Jason was totally bummed about it and went straight to bed after work.  He was up again at 9:30pm to go jogging.  Kitty brought her friend Joe Wong home with her from work again and they became best friends on arrival.
Kitty spent the early hours of Sunday morning playing drums (I'd hate to be her neighbour!)  Afterwards, she and Jason had a long game of catch in the backyard before heading to the bedroom for a woohoo, after which they both fell asleep.  Jason only had a few hours of sleep before work, however.  He threw a house party before leaving though.  That's right, leave Kitty with a house full of guests when she wakes up!  When Kitty awoke, she invited her best friend Joe Wong over to join the party, which ended up being a success all thanks to Kitty and no thanks to Jason.  Kitty invited Joe to come back over straight away so they could spend the evening together.  It was her night off.  Jason brought home his work colleague, Jane Graham and hit the exercise equipment as soon as he got home.  Kitty harvested her first lemons from her lemon tree, which were tasty.  She put some in the burger she cooked for her dinner.  At around 8pm, Jason lost his battle with old age and died in the bedroom.  He left Kitty $20,000 and the deed to his vacation home in his will, as well as leaving Jaki $9100 to see her through college.  Kitty was understandably inconsolable, and decided immediately to cash in her second genie wish.  The genie managed to resurrect Jason without incident, and Kitty was happy to have him back regardless of their marriage now being void and their friendship over.  She cashed in the double bed and bought two single beds instead, then went right back to hanging out with Joe.  Jason was thrilled to be alive again, and called all his friends to invite them to a "Back From The Dead Party."  During the party, Jason spent most of his time with Jane Graham and they became good friends.

Kitty spent much of the party bowling and using the bubble blower.  The party scored as a roof raiser - nothing like being back from the dead to give your guests a good time!
