Uberhood Pics (15) - Dreamer & Gavigan

[sixamese-simblr]

Uberhood overview 2023:

Kevin and Castor met at the frat house, and their house still has some of that vibe, but surprisingly, they're one of the most functional families in town, happily married with their adopted son Orlando. Has Kevin truly tamed Castor Nova the Casanova?

Pine Lake Farewell: Frost

Almeric lost his next mayoral election and decided to retire from politics to work on his businesses and focus on his family. The businesses never reached top-level, but his daughters turned out well.

Kiera held on to her architecture career long into her golden years, but when she finally did retire, she passed on the company to her apprentice, Gavin Newson. She also retired most of her own grudges, but her ongoing enmity with the local contessa remained as undead as the vampire. With some help from police chief Eowyn, she managed to track down her long lost brother and attempted to make peace with him. Once the girls moved out, she adopted another dog and is ready to fight anysim who tries telling her she and Almeric can’t bring him into the seniors home with them.

Emerald was generally happy to fade into the background with her bestie, Erika Swain, but her more playful nature drew her into a few other circles. She got to know Orlando Bertino through the school’s physics club, and they remained friends throughout university. They didn’t start dating until after graduation; however, an engagement announcement came very quickly after.

Social butterfly Elise surprised everysim by dating shy Sebastian Ruben, and even persuaded him to be in the community production of Simerella with her. (She was the star; he was a coachman.) She also met her best friend, Gabriella Newson, through the play, though at first Gabby held a grudge for Elise getting the lead instead of her. They are now roommates at university, both studying drama.

The Steele Family Album: Volume II (aka Love & Freindship)

William Collins displays hitherto unsuspected talents! Maybe he should have gone into Entertainment rather than The Law?

Little Catherine gets picked up off the floor long enough to age up! (Why does my game love this hair so much for toddler girls?)

~ Aries 6 / 5 / 5 / 6 / 6

~ Ambitious / Perceptive

And Lucy continues to demonstrate very little aptitude for parenting - isn’t it lovely to see such a supportive environment for the little ones?!

Fortunately, Nancy grows up relatively unscathed - even if she is turning out to be one of my least personable Sims!

However, at least she’s now big enough to get her own breakfast, which is an essential skill in this household.

Ah, the exuberance of youth!

How cute! I didn’t know that adults could play with the dollhouse along with the kids. :)

A life of crime might not have been Lucy’s first choice of profession, but actually she’s doing rather well in it, and has become chummy with colleague Melissa Fancey (whose attire is certainly most apt).

Meanwhile, Nancy has befriended Townie kid Orlando Bertino.

William loves a party, so he gathers everyone that he knows to celebrate Catherine’s birthday. It’s certainly a very jolly affair, with several gate crashers!

Happy birthday, Catherine!

And then it all descends into chaos, when Augusta catches Philip foolishly sneaking a kiss with Caroline in the kitchen!

For reasons not satisfactorily explained this sparks a full-on fistfight between William and Harriet Smith (who wasn’t even invited)! Come on, you lot, it’s a kid’s birthday party, for goodness’ sake!

John Willoughby and new acquaintance Melissa Fancey escape the melee in the kitchen for a bit of a boogie in the living room.

Lucy and Henry Crawford opt for a quiet catch-up in the bedroom - all perfectly innocent, they just decided to hang out together on the bed!

The kids remained blissfully unware of the drama that ensued at the party, and in the aftermath are more interested in developing their own friendships. Level-headed Clara Dashwood seems an unlikely friend for crazy mixed-up kid Nancy, but we’ll see! Catherine and Gabriel Smith (yet to be introduced) are getting along famously, however.

Catherine’s also become very fond of stray moggy Moonshine, who is still touring the neighbourhood. But he seems very picky - he hasn’t yet chosen a family to move in with. (Seriously, how do you get strays to move in?)

William also has a new friend. Townie Marisa Bendett is often to be found hanging around the house, and seems to have developed an unaccountable obsession with William. I’m not sure whether she’s just looking for friendship, or maybe something more...

Definitely something more! But is William naively oblivious to her intentions, or is he willingly playing along?

Lucy’s solid friendship with George Wickham remains entirely platonic - and he pops by just to do a bit of gardening for her.

Unfortunately, there’s no love lost between the girls - Nancy’s favourite pastime is tormenting her younger sister. (And yes, I’ve now realised that I goofed up the placement of the fireplace in the living room!)

Even though his daughters are quickly outgrowing the dollhouse, it’s still just as popular with William!

Catherine’s efforts to entice Moonshine to join the family have sadly come to nothing, so she finally gets her birthday wish, and the family adopts a kitten - hello, Tiberius!

Lucy brought home her friend Orlando Bertino from school, they don’t do any homework, and instead decide to play tag all evening!

No. No. No. Nope.

You’re basically brothers. Not going there.

despite their differences, the pleasant twins both enjoy socializing
