Week 2 continues

Wilson House - Tyone

Finally! Mom is starting to take more responsibility with the twins and allowing me to work on my own life...maybe it helped when Pedro had a change of heart and decided he didn't want to woohoo with her. Maybe she'll stop pretending she's a teenager but I think that's too much to hope for. Since I had some time off, meaning no school or homework, I called Miguela so we could go out on a date...a real date not just making out on the couch. I took her out to the Clock Tower. It's a local restaurant that makes some really nice food.

It was going great. She even brought me a gift. I didn't open it until we got back to my house. It was a nice potted plant. Her mom sells plants but Miguela told me she made this one just for me. I felt so bad for not thinking to get a gift for her too.

When we were about to leave, Miguela noticed her brother sitting at a table by himself, looking extremely grumpy.

We tried asking him what was wrong but he acted as if he didn't see us. I'm suspecting it had to do with his seat by the washroom. Miguela says it's girl trouble. I never heard anything about him dating anyone. Miguela just said that he wouldn't talk about it.

Miguela and I went back to my place. We talked some more and nothing...untoward happened due to the fact the nanny was all over the house with the twins. And then the twins would come into my room asking to be read to, fed, placed in their crib...what's the point of having a nanny if they come to me for everything?

I painted her a portrait and even managed to finish it in one evening so I could give it to her as my gift. She told me thanks and went home right after I finished, tired of posing for me.

Mom came home with a wicked promotion. She's a fashion photographer....I just hope she doesn't try to woohoo the male models. I'll know for sure if I get a new daddy who's my age or I end up with more siblings...and since my father is dead, it won't be from him.

Bruty House - Meshell

I took a chance. I went with my gut and started talking to Pedro again. He moved into his own house in town. I invited him over so we could talk. Apparently he feels he has a hard time trusting me because I don't trust him and now he's furious with me. What a load of crap. I introduced him to my father, who had recently gotten fired from trying to come with a line of sporks. And they hit it off. What father in his right mind, with a teenaged daughter dating a University graduate is happy about it? My father has to be one in a million. My mom comes home and meets him. She loves him too and Pedro loves my family too. Maybe things can get better now.

You know, it's not as much fun dating someone a lot older when your family likes the guy. My mom stood there and smiled as I made out with Pedro. Do you know how disturbing that is?

He stayed for dinner. Dad made his infamous Spaghetti and Meatballs (I'm telling you, despite the fact he was an executive chef, he never makes anything else). Pedro and I wanted to talk somemore but my parents were hovering, so when they weren't looking, Pedro and I went up to my room to talk...and one thing led to another and there was a photobooth there...I sent him home afterwards when I began to feel a bit nautious...maybe dad's spaghetti sauce wasn't agreeing with me.

Bruty & Ross Households

My goodness, problems are coming and I don't know what to do! This all started just before Meshell became a teen. Both Hayden and Lisa are working their way up their respected careers and bringing in the money, when Lisa brings a friend in from work. I'm like, okay, no prob. Spend a bit of quality time and send them home in a couple hours so she can continue skilling and work on her next promotion. She brings home Jace Ajjanagade (I think I can actually spell his name correctly. Hooray!). I'm liking the inter-connectivity that starting up in my neighbourhood until I see this:

What the heck happend to Lisa and Hayden since graduation of Truth U? I swear they used to have 2 bolts of attraction a piece...and now Lisa's more attracted to a Kenisa Sister's finace (aka: Dru Seavey's finace). I have no clue as to how I'm gonna deal with this now. My problem is:

1. Hayden LTW of a Golden Anniversary...which means no cheating from either partner, throw a party after they're both elders and he stays platinum for the rest of his days
2. Jace is now a part of a Legacy Household...so moving him out now, I believe goes against the rules

So I may have to ignore the attraction until Hayden gets his LTW or do it quickly so that Hayden can find someone else and then achieve his LTW with a new spouse...but if I do, he'll have a major aspirational loss due to the break up of his marriage.

That's not all the drama that's happening in the Bruty house. Lisa and Melissa are fighting...not just arguing but full out brawling in the middle of the kitchen. Hayden nearly missed work 2 times just trying to break up the fights.

I didn't bother with pictures of the full fight because honestly, who wants to take a picture of the puff of smoke that follows Pigpen around (from Charlie Brown). Neither Lisa nor Melissa are taking about why they are fighting but a few choice words of the fight were "ungrateful", "unworthy", etc (just pick out a few more 'un' words that are negative, and you've got the idea).

Meshell is the only one who seems to have absolutely no problems. She making friends left right and centre. First, she brought home Miguel...then she brough home Jose...the next day, she brought home Blaise. Can you see a social butterfly on the move? Suffice it to say, she became a popularity sim when she became a teen (can't let a 10 Outgoing go to waste considering both of her parents for 4 and 3 Outgoing). She wants to become the first Mayor of Truth...kinda makes you wonder who's running the show now. Meshell loves to shop as well.

Her dad, Hayden doesn't like the stuff she wears...but what does he know? He's only her dad. She pats him on his bald head, and saunters out of the house with her mid-driff, low cut tops and low rider pants...I may not have to worry about the prospect of his marriage falling apart when the way his daughter dresses could give him a heart-attack first.

Melissa left Hayden and Lisa's home and decided to go off to Truth U early instead of fighting with her sister-in-law. We'll see how this family continues to deal with each other when she moves back to Truth.

The Ross Household...

Skilling'R'Us seems to be the motto in this house. I would like to get Nicole married again but there are no prospective blokes...so I may just let her wait until elderhood and maybe one of the repairmen, headmasters, or professors from Truth U might be available. Derek grew up into a NICE looking teen. I was so excited! Here's a look at him so far:

I love this family's genetics. I grew up one of his townie friends, Emmy Kosmokos.

Not exactly the best picture of her but you at least get the general idea of what she looks like now. She completely captured his heart (3 lighting bolts of attraction a piece and there's no one else involved!). They're both family sims and she wants to be Captain Hero...how's that going to work with Derek's brother and sister, Damien and Teneesha? I don't know but it would be interesting to see how it will all play out.

House 5 & 6: Hernandez cont'd and the Bruty's

There wasn't much left to do at the Hernandez Household. Miguela is really enjoying the idea of a boyfriend. Do notice the young and impressionable little brother on the other side of the couch. And suffice it to say, Tyrone and Miguela are getting along quite wonderfully.

Finally got a somewhat decent picture of Tyrone, not looking as broody as he usually does. He actually smiled"

Pedro on the other hand, who still hasn't seen Kimberly all week, as been spending his free time, trying to "get to know" the other ladies of Truth better, namely Kendra Wilson...wait! Hold on a sec, isn't that Tyrone's Mom? Yeah...Pedro is trying to date his sister's, boyfriend's mother...They are still in negotiations about the arrangement

Pedro: I'm not too young for you
Kendra: And then there's the legality issue...
Pedro: Do I look like I care about the legality issue? I'm almost 18! Who am I going to go blabbing it? Fish boy over there? [looking at Tyrone]
Kendra: That is my son, you know...and he's dating your sister! Means nothing to you?
Pedro: We're not finished discussing this.

Jose has just become a boy! (I'm a real boy! I'm a real boy!...don't mind my craziness) Cute little thing but grew up wearing a swimming outfit...I don't know why but I changed his clothes as soon as I could. And I finally got an icon made of Miguel as well:

The family corner shop is going okay. I've pretty much given up on selling the toys because everyone just keeps going to the flowers but no one seems to buy the snapdragons...maybe I need to lower the price more. So in order, to get a little bit more business, a poker table was put in the backroom with a ticket machine...that's where everyone seems to go now and then when there's no more space, fine, they'll buy some groceries. I made a couple of signs for the stores (which still need to acutally be placed outside the store:

Finally got a picture of the Hernandez's lone employee, Nolan (who still has the little "x" symbols floating around his head as soon as Kendra comes anywhere near him. He's almost ready to be a manager as well. Never had an emloyee before while playing OFB

Next House! The Bruty's!

As soon as I loaded the lot, the first person who came over to visit was Tyrone. Guess he missed his godparents, Hayden and Lisa.

Tyrone apparently decided to ask for an "in" from Auntie Lisa, for the medical profession. She said she'd do what she could. Tyrone then went around the house, spending quality time with Melissa (Hayden's little sister) and Meshell (Hayden and Lisa's daughter who's birthday was that very day). She grew up well and the next day she brought home a new friend, Miguel. Who knows what the future will bring for the two of them...can you tell I'm a die hard romantic?

I've got a slight problem with one of my sims however, Melissa (Hayden's sister), was moved into the household during my "set-up" process. She was originally a teen townie. By now, she should have at the most 10 days left before she either goes off to University or becomes an adult but now she won't age. I've been in the Bruty household for about 3 days now, and it still say 15 days until she transitions. If anyone knows what's wrong and how to fix it, feel free to drop me a note about it.

Hayden is a Proud Papa

Hayden has finally found a reason to stay home more often. Lisa gave birth to their daughter Meshell Bruty:

Unfortunetly, with the new baby, comes Garret Cho...the father of Kendra's baby. He's over everyday, he doesn't help, just sits there and reads the families books...Hayden's little sister (Melissa who's actually a townie with the same last name that I've moved into the house) can't stand him. Everywhere she turns, he's there and I think he's kinda creeping her out.

Anyways, back to the baby. Meshell has her mom's eyes and skintone (Hayden must have some skin condition because his face and neck are a totally different complexion than the rest of his body) and she's as cut as a button. Hayden's sister Melissa tries to help out too but she still pays more attention to her job and her education. Lisa and Kendra are already planning ways to marry Tyrone and Meshell. All Hayden and Meshell keep muttering is "Please let Tyrone not grow up to be as creepy as his father".
