Okay so um this challenge was quite fun when I first started playing it, but a while ago I had to completely uninstall everything meaning I lost my stories. Luckily I did have my generation two spare of this challenge saved and uploaded to Mediafire. So that being said I decided to keep this little challenge going. Although with a completely different sim than originally intended. But that's okay Isabella was always more fun to play than her brothers anyway. So ahem without further ado, let's get crackin with the third installment in the Greaves Family ISBI.
Everyone remember Isabella Greaves? No? Well quik recap. She was the second born child to my ISBI founder Peter Greaves. She lives in Vernoaville and her family were farmers in service to the Monty family. Last time we left the family Isabella's older brother Amalric had just taken the torch, but since the entire family died of a fever that left poor Isabella in quite a predicament. Luckily for her (but quite tragic really) Hero Monty had just passed away leaving the Monty heir Antonio in need of extra help around the house to help take care of his two young children.
So Isabella moved into the servant quarters at the Monty Family Estate. And promptly started playing with the tub in the washroom. I swear this girl should have been a pleasure sim. Poor thing is so not suited for the middle ages where there's really not that much fun stuff to do each day. She has a LTW of marrying off 6 kids since she's primarily a Family sim. Crazy me is actually thinking about giving it to her.
Oh yes and this chapter is in commentary mode which is different from the last two chapters, but I was trying to get this ball rolling again and couldn't for the life of me how to narrate the pictures I had taken in a serious manner that would make a lick of sense. I might go back to the original style of the first two chapters after this one. I may not. i haven't decided yet. Okay so onward.
So while Isabella amuses herself with the bath-tub I'll take a moment to introduce you to the "idots" living in this house. And by that I mean the people living here I can't control. So first up say hi to the twins Benedict and Beatrice Monty. I always did like these two. Poor Beatrice is trying so hard to become friends with her brother, but he's just not having any of it. These two for twins don't really seem to get on that well. Shame really.
Here's their dad Antonio. He doesn't get up to much really. He either plays the piano or reads a book. Although I'd say he's a really nice guy...I mean he walks around with the creepy nice sim smile plastered to his face most of the time too. And he seems to take good care of Beatrice and Benedict.
Oh and I plunked Julien Cooke down here for good measure. I mean come on. This is the Monty family people. Certainly they would have more than one live in servant. It works out well too, because he and Isabella get along great. They totally love to have pillow fights all day. *snicker*
Juliette Monty stopped by as part of the welcome wagon. Yeah i went ahead and had Juliette marry Romeo Monty. Seeing as how Bianca Monty is married to Kent Capp, I figured hey the Monty's would want to have Juliette around to keep the Capps from killing them all. Is it just me or am I the only one who sees the Capps as the nastier/more ruthless of the two rivaling families? Like seriously the Monty's seem quite sweet for the most part...with the exception of the old guy.....
For the most part these guys take really good care of themselves. Like seriously....after the chaos that I had going on in the original house these guys are making it so easy. I mean sure they did get the bout of the flu there for a few days since you know the Capps hate them, but other than that nothing really. Oh and yes Mercutio here likes to pop in for regular visits. He usually comes by in the evenings which is totally fine by me.
Both of the kids get along really well with Isabella which is nice. But I think Benny was hit hardest by not having a mom. He sleeps in the extra bed in the servant quarters every night. It's cute, but it makes me like super bummed out at the same time. I'm going with the reasoning that Benny is nasty because of Hero's death.
OMG isn't he just too adorable for words? How could you not want to give that a hug and make it all better?
At least he's still got a great dad who he gets along with. And yes Isabella does all the cooking. But she doesn't really have to call them to meals or anything...they come on their own. Oh and Antonio and Julien will cook for themselves if they're super hungry because they spent all day on the piano or reading books. And as you can see neither of them has burned the house down yet.
Like I said we ended up with roaches thanks to the Capps, but Isabella's been good about keeping the place well run and maintained. Oh that's the family gardener...what's his name.....hmm you know I don't think I've ever even bothered to look.
The whole point of the gardener was just to have some easily accessible servant hanging about in case Julien and Isabella wanted to just be friends. Ahem as you can see they wanted to be more than that. They make a cute couple I'm not going to lie.
They had a brief romance and then got married. So Isabella Greaves became Isabella Cooke.
Benny and Beatrice grew up. And Benny well let's just leave it as despite Beatrice's best efforts these two still aren't friends.Don't get me wrong they aren't enemies or anything....on occasion they'll have a nice set of interactions, but they usually end with Beatrice in a headlock.....
And Benedict is not exactly doing his family any favors by putting Prince Summerdream in headlocks when he comes home from school either.
And I'm not so sure your Uncle Mercutio appreciates you insulting his ability on the piano. /shifty Hahahaha I love Benny.
Now what's this then? Puck thinks Beatrice is cute? Well now that's going to make things interesting. I mean he's currently going out with Hermia Capp.....
Oh yeah and Isabella is pregnant. We haven't seen her much cause she spent a lot of time sleeping. Good thing her idiots take good care of themselves.
And here's proof that Benny really can play nice....sometimes. Don't worry directly after congratulatig the prince and tellig him a joke he decided Puck needed another noogie. *eye roll*
Julien did decided to try to starve himself to death while his wife was pregnant. But he only whined about it once and then went and cooked hismelf some lobster. And Isabella nearly didn't make it to the bathroom once, but overall she had a pretty smooth first pregnancy.
In the end, Julien and Isabella had their first kids. A set of twin boys named Jacob and Adam. And Isabella promptly rolled the want to have 10 kids. *snort*
The next day Isabella was right back to her usual baking and cooking duties. I thought it was awfully nice of Antonio to spend some time talking to Isabella about the new babies.
And then after cleaning the house and putting the twins down for a nap she and Julien decided to play some majhong in the backyard.
Juliette stopped by to entertain the family with music.
Beatrice decided to try her hand at taking care of one of the babies.
And Benedict naturally decided to give our now regular visitor Puck a series of noogies. I think I'll stop off here for now. Join me next time to see how well the kids grow up and just how much chaos gets caused by this budding romance between Puck Summerdream and Beatrice Monty.
