SlowySimmer: An Uberhood

A 30-year-old-something playing her childhood favorite game as an uberhood for the very first time. Each family will be played 5 in-game days before switching families. After an in-game year I will switch neighorhoods. Read all about their story progression as I am playing!

V-1.3 Last status: New Familes & Old Faces

As I mentioned in my first post: I made some new families move into Veronaville to keep the town occupied. Lilia Davis is one of them. She is a rather old lady with a young spirit. She lives next to Bianca Monty (on the picture in black) and across the street of Eugene Kowalcyzk (the guy in the back) and Danielle (not in frame, probably taking the picture).

Bianca and Lilia are both really into sewing. Most of the days they will greet each other and talk about their arts & crafts. Eugene and Lilia are also very compatible neighbors: dancing together a lot and gossiping about the landlord, whom they all enjoy having around. Lilia recently met Philibert: an old guy living around the corner together with his daughter and granddaughter. They really hit it off! They even talked about moving in together, but they both really love the place they are currently living in. It seems they will not stay together for now but who knows what will happen in the future.

Eugene met Kent Capp at a party and ever since he cannot stop thinking about him. Quickly he had a wish to fall in love and before I knew it: Kent Capp was there. Pay no attention to them and they will do romantic interactions with one-another for the entire day. The lovebirds they are! Eugene started a job as a natural scientist since he is very concerned about the status of the sim universe. Danielle is just doing her thing as a teen: meeting people, going to parties and reading about fashion online. Even though she is rather mean, lots of sims enjoy being around her. After their house party she quickly started bringing other teens home with her! Eugene & Danielle are both cat ladies, so they adopted Loise the beauiful white cat.

Bianca loves being away from the Monty family and meeting new people. She keeps thinking about Oberon Summerdream whom she slept with for the first time (ever). The first few days she was sewing from early morning to late evening. She got a job just to keep money flowing, because she has a wish to open up a small shop where she can sell her sewing projects. Aside from that she enjoys spending time with her neighbors in their shared garden: dancing, talking and grilling good food.

V-1.2 Monty family

The first 5 in-game days quickly passed for the Monty family. Bianca Monty moved to a small rent apartment next to Lilia: an old grandmother living alone and Eugene & Danielle: an gay male adult living together with his dear female teenage friend. They seem to be getting along really well! More on that later.

Mercutio and Romeo Monty quickly got the University wish, so off they went! They live together in an over-priced student house owned by Patrizio Monty. He is doing fairly well with "his" Isabella. They adopted a white parrot called Chika and a small dog called Bruno. Isabella and Patrizio are often spotted at the local park: eating lunch together and gossiping about the Capp family to others. Sometimes they get into a fight, but they mostly avoid any physical contact altogether.

Antonio, Beatrice and Benedick Monty moved to a rentable apartment where they barely fit together. However, that is going extremely well! They have the most fun together. Their neighbors are also a large family living in a small space, so they often visit each other for a talk or a dance of smustle. Beatrice and Benedick grew up to be lovable teenagers and entered private school thanks to the schmoozing of Antonio to the principal. Everyone really wanted to add a pet to the family, so the lovely dog they named Companion entered their household fairly quickly. He already knows 5 commands and the family just loves to interact with him. Antonio keeps loving to work out: he is getting thinner every day.

V-1.1 Summerdream & Capp?

I was not planning on starting a tumblr so honestly: I do not have a lot of great pictures right now. Bare with me! I promise to make it up to you from now on.

So I started playing the Capp family on Julia's side: Tybalt is skipping University (though he did not have the wish to go, he still cried about it) and Julia has moved to University. Hermia is only a couple of days away before leaving as well, but I wanted her to stick around a little bit longer. Not much has happened, except for Hermia joining the military (she wanted that for some reason).

The Capp family when it comes to Goneril, Albany, Miranda, Hal, Desdemona and Ariel on the other hand... They got a cat and Miranda had her first kiss with Mercutio Monty. Albany wanted a baby, but Goneril most definitely not. This is where Titania Summerdream appeared and hit it off with Albany! ...Huh?

The Summerdream house has to be my favorite so far. When I started playing them I knew I wanted Titania and Oberon to be polyamorous. It made so much more sense to me. So Titania and Oberon agreed to have a baby with Albany Capp: their dear friend who definitely did not get an agreement with Goneril to have Titania's baby. Do they know that? No, they don't. A baby was born: a girl called Adelina! Puck, the sweetheart he is, helps out with the baby whenever he can. He seems to continuously interact with all his friends and feeds the baby every morning and evening, all on his own. Oberon got into a fling with Bianca Capp: though nothing serious from his side, it seems Bianca is more monogamous than she claims to be. Not sure what will happen there: it can go everywhere to be far. Bottom seems to be enjoying playing the piano every morning before going to school. Perhaps she will become a musical legend?

Welcome to Veronaville 2025

Sul-sul! This 30-something year old is returning to the nostalgic Sims 2 starting with something I have never done before: creating and playing an uberhood. I want to see how long I can keep track of the three mainhoods: Pleasantview, Veronaville and Strangetown. Perhaps someday I might add Riverblossom and Belladonna cove.

Starting off strong: Veronaville. I have not visited this hood in over 20 years so most of it will feel pretty new to me too. I have added more families than there were already (most of my families are in Pleasantview currently) so be prepared to read about old ánd new friends.

My "rules" are quite simple: I play 5 in-game days for each family and rotate after approx an in-game year before switching over to a different neighborhood. I have installed some mods to keep things interesting (and new!) for me. Pretty simple, right? I can't wait to see what stories will be told through playing these classics.
