Summer in Familiarity - 3.2
Continuing the Summer Rotation in Familiarity, I have seven more households to share. This group contains several recognizable faces as well as a few more distantly related groups. There are small spoilers in this bunch, while I'm not going to give any big plots away there are several expected but not yet seen happenings below the cuts. If you don't want to see expected weddings or babies before they happen in story, you should skip this one.
House Eight - Familiar
The first home in this portion of the rotation is one of the few in the hood that I've built from scratch. I quite like the way it's turned out though I did do some editing recently in order to prepare for the next generation. There are currently four bedrooms and three baths, plus a small room for the pets.
This is the home of generation six spare Elle and her husband Dov. Daughter Elisha will be moving home after her graduation from University and we'll get to son Elijah's new home later on in the rotation. Since neither of the kids are currently living at home there was only one day of play this rotation.
Family Friends @60
Family Funds @550k
According to cannon Dov is still a Game designer and Elle is still a lawyer. In actuality they've continued to pursue multiple lifetime wants since those careers were topped and are each perma plat multiple times over.
Dov - Fortune / Family - Dov is stalled at graduate 3 kids from UNI (not happening) and is currently a World Class Dancer.
Elle - Pop / Fortune - Topped Entertainment for LTW on their day now wants to be Cult leader.
Lines of descent
Fred-> Abe-> Betty-> Cary-> David-> Elle
Fred-> Al-> Aaron-> Barclay-> Cael-> Dov
Dov and Elle currently share the home with two cats. Keita is the orangish one and her son Markeno is the gray.
The day started off on a sad note with Grim coming to collect Keita's mate Ronrero
Keeping with tradition, the kids came by to spend the day with their parents. Elijah brought new wife, Patricia while Elisha brought her boyfriend Amin Tricou over. There was much stalking going on. I'm not always happy with Amin/Elisha but when they are together with no distractions they are really quite sweet together.
Since Elle had to work, Dov spent most of the day cooking and attempting to encourage the kids to eat.
The kids preferred to spend the day turning blue in the hot tub. While I did reset the lot to Summer the temperature never quite caught up to the season.
Typical of Elijah he wasn't very happy with Elisha and Amin's potential PDA.
But Patricia was able to keep him distracted with discussions of their recent honeymoon trip.
Despite Dov's repeated calls to eat, Patricia never did and being pregnant left early. If only she had eaten she might have stuck around long enough for Elle to get home so that they could pop their mutual best friends wants. I'm sure they'll take care of it before too long.
House Nine - London
The third London home in the rotation belongs to Devon and Dia. Originally the house was the Roth home in Riverblossom HIlls which means it's the Goth manor with a few changes. I've updated the house, added a porch and a couple of bedrooms and baths which make it a typical home for the hood. On the top floor there's a playroom where as teens Enrique London and Evonne Capp made all kinds of mischief.
Family Friends @40
Family Funds @250k
Devon - Pleasure/Cheese - Perma plat, currently working towards being a game designer.
Dia - Pleasure/fortune - Perma plat, currently working towards being a Hand of Poseidon.
Devon and Dia have two children; Evita and Enrique, both of whom are still at University. Enrique will be inheriting the home.
Lines of descent:
Fred-> Abe-> Betty-> Cher-> Celeste-> Devon <-Cort <-Becca <-Amelia <-Al <-Fred
Fred-> Abe-> Bob-> Boris-> Cale -> Dia <-Charlotte <-Baird <-Aaron <-Al <-Fred
The couple currently shares their home with mutts, Captain and Janet and their puppy Ales.
Dia brought a friend home from work and soon enough she and Dobry (Young - romancer from the party boys house) were getting friendly. For a large part as long as their spouses are around my sims remain fairly faithful. Since Devon was still at work the mouse did play.
Soon afterward, Dia noticed future son in law Eros Love doing a walk by and went out to greet him. That spurned the memory that she was supposed to be inviting the kids over for the evening so the invites were quickly taken care of.
Left to her own accord Evita London is not a very nice sim, she tends to start arguments and enjoys poking people. But when her long term sweetheart is around Evita goes all mushy and melty.
Enrique also came in from Uni and by the time Devon returned home from work his family was happily munching on the grilled cheese sandwiches that the home is well known for serving.
House Ten - Goth
The next house on the rotation is the Goth's. It's home to Alex and Bottom Goth, their son Euclid and his new bride Emily (Familiar).
The house itself was originally from Pet Stories though it is a Base Game bin home revamped. I've added additional rooms and seasoned proofed the attic. It currently contains four bedrooms and four baths and has plenty of room for the growing family within.
Family Friends - @95
Family Funds - @200k
Alex - Knowledge/Pleasure Perma Plat, re-topped Science on day one of the rotation and now wants to max his skills.
Bo - Pleasure/Family - Perma Plat, wants 50 dream dates and is holding the top spot in the Crime World until one of David's descendants is able to claim the position.
While both Alex and Bottom are Maxis sims they are closely connected to the main legacy home. Alex was the brother of Generation Four spouse Cassandra Goth and Bottom is the daughter of Generation Five spouse Titania. Their sons, Erasmus and Euclid, were raised as first circle cousins and have been highlighted often up until this point in the generation's story. They'll continue to be highlighted for a little while longer, before being eased out in order to focus on the next generation's first circle.
Euclid - Family/Pop is looking for a job in Athletics
Emily - Family/Fortune wants to be Captain Hero!
Lines of Descent:
Fred-> Abe-> Betty-> Clint-> Christopher-> Dannon-> Emily <-Della <-Collin <-Becca <-Amelia <-Al <-Fred
Almost the first thing that happened in the rotation was the marriage of Euclid and Emily. The wedding itself will be touched upon in future updates so I won't say much about it here.
As I said the wedding was ALMOST the first thing to happen at the house. Emily and Euclid got baby number one started a bit preemptively. Family sims, what are you gonna do?
While we were waiting for baby to appear Ras and Lani and a bunch of other people came over for another type of birthday celebration.
The future grandparents had to go gray. I actually did Puck and Dorme's birthday's first even though they're be seen later in the rotation. Therefore Bo didn't age before her brother, she's just the first of the generation six first circle to be seen as an elder.
Sooner rather than later it was baby time and Archimedes Goth was welcomed to the neighborhood. Bo is just as excited to be a Grandmother as I knew she would be. Both she and Alex are doing a superb job of spoiling Archie.
Which doesn't mean that his other Grandparents are willing to be ignored. Within two hours of Archie's birth, Emily's mom Della was there to meet him.
And within five hours of his birth his parents were getting started on number two. Depending on how well my intended population controls work Emily and Euclid will finish their family very young.
Grandparents weren't the only visitors. Bo's best friend Delphy Nova stopped by to laugh at her friend's gray hair. Bo took the opportunity to hoot at Del's athletic wear, apparently whatever CC athletic I had her in was deleted at some point. Opps! sorry Del, I'll fix that ASAP.
Since Del was already there and Egeus had let himself in at some point, their spouses were invited with the rest of the gang for Archie's birthday celebration.
Archimedes Goth
Aquarius 6/6/7/8/6
Very middle of the road kiddo, just like his parents.
While Dannon and Della were at the house for his party; I went ahead and got Archie to ask for attention from both of them, in order to kick start their relationships. He wasn't too keen on being tickled right off the bat, but after a few snuggles he was ready to play.
House Eleven - Capp
The next house in the rotation is the home of the Capp family. Elliot and Deanna have raised their brood in this house that began as the Contrary home from Desiderata Valley. The house has been changed drastically from the way it is in Desiderata, and there is some revamping yet to be done before it's ready to be multi generational. Currently, there are three bedrooms and three baths, with a large finished basement for hobby things.
Third child, Evette Capp, will eventually take over the family home, but that won't happen for a few rotations still.
Family Friends - @60
Family Funds - @200k
As of now, Elliot and Deanna still have teenagers at home. The youngest members of the first circle, Ethan and Ethel Capp, became teenagers at the very end of Spring, and will be home until the end of Fall when they will make their journey towards University.
Lines of Descent:
Fred -> Abe-> Betty-> Cary-> David-> Elliot <-Juliet Capp
Fred-> Abe- > Barbie-> Bailey-> Caleb-> Deanna
The Capps share their home with the Ugliest Mutt to ever arrive from the puppy pool. Scout was originally adopted by the main Legacy family to be Ferdie's 'wish' but when I saw what he grew into he was passed to Elliot. While I truly dearly love mutts, I did not believe that breeding Scout to Effie would produce positive results. Since there are several people in the Capp family continually rolling puppy wants, Scout may still be allowed to breed.
The rotation began on a Saturday, which is typically teen party day. But, since Ethan and Ethel are two of only three current teens in the hood we opened the house to all the current children of the hood. We ended up with Ethan's beau (townie teen Justin Cleveland), my simselves twins - Remus and Deva, along with Andrew McAuley, and Quincy Tricou.
And Ethel's steady boyfriend Barnabas Familiar. If Barnabas and Ethel continue on the way I plan he'll have to get used to the tub pirating. Barnabas is fairly serious and doesn't really understand the thrill of a being a pirate.
I did eventually tell Ethel to get out of the tub and go socialize with people. Her preferred method of socialization isn't necessarily all that nice but it's socializing.
Eventually the kid party broke up after the slobs had thoroughly disgusted poor Quincy with their fume clouds.
The following day, being a Sunday, was family day and so all the Capp kids came in from their various homes. We also invited Elliot's step father Robert along with sister Diana's family. Zeke and Ezra brought their wives over from their homes farther down in the rotation.
And the girls came in from the Greek House on campus.
At some point, Elijah let himself in and joined the party. I had a lot of fun watching Andrew circulate around the family talking to everyone. Andrew is oddly serious for this group, but he's 10 outgoing so he pretty much chatted up everyone that was there for the day.
The rest of the rotation was spent playing football with Uncle Goopy (Deanna's brother in law).
Bringing Barnabas home from school every day. He's the only other teen at private school so he was the only one they could bring home. Ethan and Ethel switched around who brought him on various days.
Ethan and Justin had several dates as dating was about the easily fulfill-able want that Ethan would consistently roll. My long term plans don't call for this relationship lasting past high school. I intend to have Ethan move into the Party Boys house eventually, but we'll see what he thinks once he's at Uni.
And of course there were the stalky McStalkerson's setting great examples for the teens. While I adore Elliot and Deanna, they are the perfect example of a three bolt couple that would rather starve than be apart. It can be extremely frustrating getting either of them to do anything.
House Twelve - Familiar
The next house in the rotation belongs to yet another bunch of Familiars - Dracula and Dyan. This house began as a Season's bin home, but don't go looking for it I've remodeled it to such a degree that you most likely wouldn't recognize the original. There are currently three bedrooms and three baths, we may need to do more remodeling as the generation moves forward. When Drac and Dyan's son Edgar takes over the house with his fiance we may need room for more kids than is currently feasible.
Family Friends - @ 40
Family Funds - @ 700K
Dracula - Pleasure/Fortune Perma Plat. Working on 50 dream dates may/may not happen. Is currently a Celebrity Chef
Dyan - Pop/Pleasure Perma Plat. Is a Media Magnet, looking for job in Intelligence.
Lines of Descent
Fred -> Abe -> Bob -> Boris -> Caden-> Dracula <-Cassia <-Becca <-Amelia <-Al <-Fred
Dyan is the granddaughter of Darren Dreamer (spouse of gen three spare Barbie) through his alien son, Banard.
The couple currently share their home with a Kitty named Mavis. We'll be looking for a mate for Mavis soon.
Dracula and Dyan have one son, Edgar who is a Senior at FSU. Edgar came over to spend the evening with his parents and brought along fiance Tea Cupp. Yes, her name is Tea Cupp. Tea is the daughter of UA vampires Misty Cupp and Bud Weiser (I didn't name them) and she has a full brother named Coffee.
Roaming the house at this time are quite a few ghosts. Several of them aren't too happy due to a deleted CC bed but thus far they've encouraged nothing worse that puddles. If things get bad later in the generation I'll be moving ghosts to the new cemetery.
House Thirteen - Nova
Next up in the rotation is the first of the two Nova households. This one belongs to Denise and Dane. On the inside it's your typical four bedroom three bath Familiarity home, with lots of space for the gatherings of people that several generations of pops have required. I do quite like the look of the house.
I think that Eustace Nova will eventually be moving home but that won't happen for quite awhile. For now the house is on short rotations.
Family Friends @45

Dane - Pop/Knowledge Perma-plat he currently wants 5 top businesses (not happening) and has long been in the Hall of Fame.
Denise - Fortune / Family - Perma plat and she's currently working towards being a World Class Ballerina.
Lines of descent:
Fred-> Abe-> Betty-> Cary-> Demi-> Denise <-Chay <-Bea <-Amy <-Al <-Fred
Fred -> Abe-> Barbie-> Bailey-> Candice -> Dane
At the start of the day Dane and Denise shared their home with two dogs, Galadriel and Grimalkin. By the time the day ended we'd added a few more.
Galadriel gave birth to three puppies, that were named Bisti, Nakai and Cowboy. Soon after the birth Animal Control was called and Nakai and Cowboy went to the puppy pool for future adoptions. When I have litters in the hood I open the book I'm currently reading and pick a few names. At the moment I'm working my way through Tony Hillerman's Navaho series.
The kids were all over for the day. Elise, we've already checked up on this rotation, she's recently married to Evander Familiar and has a daughter named Lottie.
Eleanor is engaged to Belladonna Cove resident Benjamin Baldwin. Unless things change radically they will be taking moving in with Eleanor's Uncle Donnar and taking over his household.
Eustace has been dating Miranda Capp since highschool. She was sent to University along with him and other than a pesky 20 woohoo want they still have a very stable relationship. They still have three years of University though, and things could change between now and graduation.
Since neither Dane nor Denise had to work the family spent the day hanging out together, between hot tub bouts there were kicky bag tournaments, smutsle marathons and lots of dirty jokes.
House Fourteen - Dreamer
The last house in this group is the home of Draco and Danya Dreamer. Their daughter Electra has recently graduated and moved home along with fiance/husband Emlen Indie. The house has been slightly modified for multi generational use and currently has three bedrooms and three baths. If Electra and Emlen decide that one child isn't enough we may need to do further modifications.

Draco - knowledge/fortune. Perma plat, currently working on maxing his skiills is in the hall of fame.
Danya - Family/Pop Perma plat, wants Golden anniversary, is a Captain Hero.
Danya is Dov's big sister, daughters Electra and Eden are first cousins to Elisha and Elijah and very close.
Eldest Daughter Electra and husband Emlen (Indie) Dreamer are taking over the house this generation.
Emlen - Pleasure/Fortune? Wants to be a game designer.
Electra - Pop/Pleasure has been perma plat since a teen but currently wants to be city planner.

Fred -> Abe -> Barbie-> Bade -> Carlise -> Draco -> Electra <- Danya <-Cael <-Barclay <-Aaron <-Al <-Fred
First things first, there was a wedding. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Parents and siblings came to join in the celebration. Most of them didn't actually watch the ceremony but they can say they were there.
The wedding went well, and everyone had a pretty good time at the party. By the end of the evening Electra was beginning to have a few doubts. Emlen was showing every sign of having married her for her pool table.
By then however it was too late for regrets and she was stuck with him.
Draco and Danya's younger daughter Eden came in the next evening with her fiance Matthew Hart. Eden is a senior at FSU and so they'll be married in the fall.
Eden and Matthew were in town to help her parents celebrate their birthdays. They were there along with Draco's twin brother and Danya's siblings - Dov, Delilah and Dryas.
Quickly there after it was baby time and I really did Squeeee when I saw that the alien recessive had appeared on daughter Selene.
Dov won relative of the year award yet again when he stopped by to meet his great-niece and actually went up to the nursery to meet her. He's such a family sim, don't let the simolean signs on his aspiration fool ya.
Life progresses and there were promotions and demotions, lots of yard work and good deal of phone calling done during the rotation. The highlight of the rotation came on the final evening when it was time for Selene's toddler tossing. The usual subjects were there to cheer her on when Daddy brought her to the cake.

I'm not always happy with Amin/Elisha but when they are together with no distractions they are really quite sweet together.
Since Elle had to work, Dov spent most of the day cooking and attempting to encourage the kids to eat.
The kids preferred to spend the day turning blue in the hot tub. While I did reset the lot to Summer the temperature never quite caught up to the season.
Typical of Elijah he wasn't very happy with Elisha and Amin's potential PDA.
But Patricia was able to keep him distracted with discussions of their recent honeymoon trip.
Despite Dov's repeated calls to eat, Patricia never did and being pregnant left early. If only she had eaten she might have stuck around long enough for Elle to get home so that they could pop their mutual best friends wants. I'm sure they'll take care of it before too long.

Since neither Dane nor Denise had to work the family spent the day hanging out together, between hot tub bouts there were kicky bag tournaments, smutsle marathons and lots of dirty jokes.

First things first, there was a wedding. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Parents and siblings came to join in the celebration. Most of them didn't actually watch the ceremony but they can say they were there.
The wedding went well, and everyone had a pretty good time at the party. By the end of the evening Electra was beginning to have a few doubts. Emlen was showing every sign of having married her for her pool table.
By then however it was too late for regrets and she was stuck with him.
Draco and Danya's younger daughter Eden came in the next evening with her fiance Matthew Hart. Eden is a senior at FSU and so they'll be married in the fall.
Eden and Matthew were in town to help her parents celebrate their birthdays. They were there along with Draco's twin brother and Danya's siblings - Dov, Delilah and Dryas.
Quickly there after it was baby time and I really did Squeeee when I saw that the alien recessive had appeared on daughter Selene.
Dov won relative of the year award yet again when he stopped by to meet his great-niece and actually went up to the nursery to meet her. He's such a family sim, don't let the simolean signs on his aspiration fool ya.
Life progresses and there were promotions and demotions, lots of yard work and good deal of phone calling done during the rotation. The highlight of the rotation came on the final evening when it was time for Selene's toddler tossing. The usual subjects were there to cheer her on when Daddy brought her to the cake.
