The Hamiltons: Round 4 / That Darn Cat

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

When we last visited the Hamiltons, they were all still working on Forrest's Lifetime Want of having 6 pets reach the top of their careers which takes up most of their time. Dr. Watson got fired, which didn't help. Forrest was still climbing the career ladder in Business, trying to make it to the top. Beverly was spending most of her time on the phone trying to make 30 best friends, but was finally able to get an Athletic job to work on her Lifetime Want. Violet became visible again, and managed to become a teenager without getting taken by the social worker, and both Rose and Violet headed off to college.

The Bauers: Round 4 / A Family Vacation

Photobucket

I'm going to poke fun at my real family a bit more this time - gently, of course. I can get away with it too, because there is not a single one of them that would voluntarily read this, not even Cassandra - although Cassandra would if she weren't taking care of three little kids. I think I'll be nicest to her. ;) Just kidding, I won't be very mean to anyone, because I do love them very much, and they would read my stories if I asked them to made them.

The Webbs: Round 4 / Que Sera, Sera

Whew, I finally have a title. It's sad when the title keeps you scratching your head for ideas relatively longer than the rest of the post. :P

Clinton finds the narrowest hallway in the house, and right at the top of the staircase gives birth.

The Fletcher(s): Round 4 / The Bachelor in Black Spandex

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Charles spent a great deal of time skilling to reach the top of his career in Showbiz and working on the impossible want of 50 Dream Dates, so there is not a lot to say in this update. As you might remember, Charles earned his Lifetime Want while at college by having 50 First dates.

Time Reckoning in Apple Grove (outdated)

I wanted to be able to have actual dates for events that happen in Apple Grove like birthdays and weddings, so I have given it some thought and decided to keep it simple instead of really hurting my mathematically-challenged brain. This is relatively simple to me, and if someone else has already done it this way, I honestly didn't mean to copy and take credit for myself. Every time I look at someone else's system, my brain starts shutting down. I admire the heck out of people who have complex systems, charts and graphs. I wish I could be like them, but I will give up if I really have to think too much. ;)

Lara Fletcher: Round 3 / The Fancey Fellow

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Lara is the oldest of the Fletcher kids, and the last to settle into her own apartment after college. I think living in an apartment has to go against the grain of a fortune sim anyway, as it isn't an investment to throw away money on rent, but there really weren't any available houses in her price range.

Zoe Tucker: Round 3 / Witch Guy?

I have no idea why it says Zoe has -§9,641, but I didn't notice at the time, and things worked out for her despite it.

Now that Zoe was out of college, she decided to rent an apartment in this triplex. 9A Turnover Terrace is the apartment on the left.

Sophie Fletcher: Round 3 / Witchy Woman

I'm still trying to get caught up with my blogging, which is probably why I update so frequently. I actually played up to halfway through Round 4. I'm trying to have the self discipline to not play again until I've blogged to that point, but with the game open to check information, it's so hard to be good.

Sophie finished college and her Lifetime Want of woohooing 20 sims, and is now getting her first apartment.

She is renting 11D Turnover Terrace, which is the bottom apartment.

The Tucker(s) 2: Round 3 / I'm Just A Gigolo

Brian Tucker is finished with college and is now living out on his own.

He moved into 11A Turnover Terrace, which is the top apartment or penthouse, I guess. It seems a fitting bachelor pad for him.

Kimberly Tucker: Round 3 / A Great Match

After college, Kimberly Tucker moved into this apartment complex. Actually, they're separate houses, which is very nice for having plenty of space and avoiding noise. Originally named Bella Donna Circle, it is now named Candy Apple Court. In the future, all the palm trees in Candy Apple Court will be replaced by apple trees, as Apple Grove is not a tropical kind of place.

Kimberly has rented apartment #1.

University Round 3: Sorority Sisters Find the Volauvent Society

When we last saw the Hamiltons, Rose and Violet had just gone off to college. Apparently, Forrest took time away from his job in business and his 6 precious cats to bring the girls and get them set up in a decent house.
