Clean Uberhood: Belladonna County Courier issue 2
Sorry about the long time between the first issue and this new one. The pictures have been uploaded since December, but I have really been struggling with the writing.
What a surprise! ;)
Soon after Benjamin died - sims recover so easily from tragedies - Isabel called Pascal over.
When Pas came, they could not wait to get to the Baldwin's apartment in the second floor, but woohooed in the lobby - such horndogs! At least they were decent enough to keep their underwear on, lol.
Isabel and Pascal had clearly told me what they wanted - and the game seemed to agree by removing the one obstacle, Benjamin, to their happiness - so I had Isabel propose to Pascal.
Now Isabel and the kids are patiently waiting with their inventories full of stuff for the move to the Strangetown.
In the previous issue of BCC you met the 'true' Ajay Loner. You may remember that Cynthia Kim introduced Lillian Worthington to Ajay and they immediately had sex in the hot tub.
Soon Ajay asked Lillian to an outing. Lillian brought her sister Edie along, which is quite fine. But I don't know, why Ajay thought it would be a good idea to bring two of his other mistresses - Cynthia Kim and Vivian Cho - along?!?!
The ladies fought for Ajay's attention.
But it was Lillian, who won the battle. I'm afraid it's quite obvious, why Ajay, the fortune sim, chose her.
Cynthia took it quite hard.
And so did Stephen Tinker. He's in such a fragile state after his own divorce, that seeing other sims break up makes him cry. poor sod!
And yes, she did autonomously try for a baby with Ajay in the hot tub, sigh.
At dinner everybody was wondering, how Lillian suddenly got so fat.
(She did get fat, so she was really huge when pregnant.)
Before she got pregnant, Lillian had also been seeing Malcolm Landgraab IV. They would have made a great couple imo.
Well, one morning Malcolm rang the Worthington's door bell. When someone let him in, he went straight to Lillian and told her, that he wanted to sleep with her. Can you see how happy Lillian is, that Malcolm still wants her in spite of the fact, that she's carrying another man's baby.
The only double bed in the house belongs to Lillian's parents. Linda Worthington seems annoyed that her daughter is using her bed. And now she has witnessed the woohooing of two of her daughters, nice.
Malcolm's visit was a classic 'booty visit' - I've had many of those in my game lately.
Both Lillian and I took Malcolm's actions as a sign that he really does want Lillian, so she proposed to him.
But how naïve can one be!!!! Malcolm does not change - he has always been a jerk in my game without my helping, and he still is a major prick.
Malcolm just wanted sex, nothing more. Poor, poor Lillian.
So Malcolm just walked off the lot after he had gotten what he came there for. And Lillian still looks at him adoringly. *sigh*.
Then she autonomously went and had a shower. It was as if she wanted to wash away all the traces of her encounter with Malcolm. She must have felt so used and dirty, *another big sigh*.
Then she had to go back to plan A: ask Ajay over and propose to him. The Wothingtons don't have children out of wedlock! Well, she's so far gone, that she won't have time to get married, but engagement is sufficient to avoid a complete scandal.
And even the butler wanted to contribute to the celebration and prepared lobster for the dinner. Usually, when someone asks him to prepare a meal, he goes to the fridge and tells that there's not that kind of fish in there and does nothing. And nobody asked him to prepare fish!
Lillian would have the baby any minute now, so she packed in a hurry and moved to Ajay in Belladonna Cove.
Kent Capp and Cyd Roseland had met through their mutual friend Bianca Monty. She invited Cyd on an outing and brought Kent along and the rest is history. The way Bianca looks at the two guys romancing makes me think, everything went according to her plan. (It definitely went the way I wanted, when I had Cyd greet Bianca, when she walked past his house in Veronaville. The rest she and the two guys did on their own.)
Kent "the tiger" and Cyd "the sweetheart".
At this time Kent still lived with Regan and Cornwall in Belladonna Cove.
But soon he moved back to his native Veronaville and to his beloved Cyd. Kent confessed his love for Cyd over some hamburgers....
... and went on to proposing him.
And then they celebrated a bit.
You already know that they both got abducted. I had them 'call for aliens' and they were taken - Kent first and Cyd shortly thereafter.
Yes, you are pregnant, Cyd, and so is Kent.
Their wedding took place in their backyard.
When you introduce on Monty (Bianca, of course) among a bunch of Capps, a fight in unavoidable. When the others went and cheered at the fight, these two wussies ran away from it.
Phineaus Furley even covered his eyes in shock although it was quite impossible to see the fight from where he was standing. Isn't he a darling, little Phineaus. This and the bewildered look he had on his face, when Edith Worthington lured him into bed (see issue 1/2010 of BCC) has painted a clear picture of young Furley for me. He's straight, but quite a softie and a bit clueless, so he will need a strong woman by his side to guide and protect him.
Once the commotion ended it was time for the ceremony.
I wanted them both to wear the pink tux - I thought all pregnant men had that as formal wear - but sadly Kent chose a black one.
Anyway, it was a beautiful ceremony.
Bt the way, they are Kent and Cyd Cappland now.
All the Capps and some friends of the couple were present. At first Bottom wanted to sit on her mother's lap and Desdemona on her favourite cousin Juliette's lap...
... but then they found their own seats at the back. But do I see an empty chair beside them?
That chair was reserved for Hal, who could not care less for such stupid things as a weddings.That stuff is for girls! I guess Goneril had forced him to wear a tie and come along. As a protest the little rascal did not come outside for the ceremony at all, but stayed indoors eating chips and watching cartoons on TV.
The grown-ups had a festive dinner outside. First it puzzled me, why would not Kent want to hold hands with his newly wed partner there.
Then I noticed, whom he's looking at! I imagine, that old Consort would have some issues with his son's sexual orientation. So Kent does not want to embarrass his father even more by public displays of affection. At first I was worried, how Cyd would feel now...
... but I need not worry. He completely understands his partner. ++ for a rejected flirt - aren't they cute.
The rest of the party went on without a hitch. I just had to make sure, that Bianca was occupied by either Cyd or Kent all the time to keep the rest of the Capps from her.
Desdemona at least had fun!
Jodie Larson had been seeing Guy Wrightley. They seemed like a good match and I was already making plans for their future.
But both Jodie and I had a change of heart, when Jodie met the dashing farmer from Riverblossom Hills.
Although Jodie is a city girl the couple immediately took a liking to each other....
... and a bit later fell in love over a romantic game of red hands, as sims often do.
Also Leod had a lover from the uni, Ellen Frost.
But Leod made it very clear, which of the two ladies he preferred. He could not stop thinking about Jodie even when he was on an outing with Ellen.
And even the game agreed on his choice: during another outing Ellen decided to use the photo booth with Ty Bubbler.
Thus taking care of freeing Leod to move on to a new life with the one he yearned for.
So Leod asked Jodie to a date.
And look at Jodie's want panel when the date had just started!
It's so sweet, when sims tell me clearly, what they want.
The date was a huge success, of course.
The next day Leod asked his loved one out to the Londoste. In my game it's a special place...
.... for popping the question!
(I wish they had worn something more formal for the occasion.)
Once again, the date ended on a high note.
For the wedding Leod wore his special formal kilt and looked super cool.
It was a very traditional wedding.
But there were a couple of minor hiccups:
Patricia Wan - who came uninvited - was a bit jealous over Leod.
But Jodie knew a remedy for that.
And also Ellen still harbored warm feelings towards the groom. I was so happy and proud, when Leod rejected her firmly.
At least there's one decent sim in my uberhood.
I would feel so embarrassed, too, Ellen, but now you're free to develop your relationship with Ty Bubler or Tom Freshe or Jimmy Phoenix or Chaz Whippler. That girl has guys swarming around her .
This divorce is already written in the family bo, imo.
In my previous posts we have already seen Victor Aspir fooling around with other ladies (Marissa Cleveland and others). But also Elizabeth has gathered some admirers. Because the divorce seemed so inevitable, I decided to try and speed things up a little and had Elizabeth invite a bunch of young bachelors over.
It was Connor Weir who took the bait, but did it discreetly in Luis' flat.
The same guys were among the guests for Pauline's birthday.
Dun, dun, dun...
Connor just cannot keep away from Elizabeth.
Poor little Pauline's birthday was ruined. You can see her mother shamelessly romancing her lover in the background.
I think Elizabeth got what she wanted there.
This was the sleeping arrangement in the Aspir household from there on.
The divorce did not happen before the end of the Aspir's rotation, because I'm obsessed with keeping my sim's ages consistent (I've only made a couple of exceptions to this rule).
Elizabeth did not stop seeing her lovers.
I could come up with quite a few more comfortable spots for romance, but this is what Elizabeth and Malcolm chose on their own.
And finally Elizabeth moved out to a small house in Desiderata Valley.
I have seen her together with Connor many times on community lots as a non-playable.
And at the McGreggor wedding she announced the news of her pregnancy!
Is the father Victor, Connor, Malcolm or Geoff - I won't reveal that yet.
Victor has continued his relationship with Marissa Cleveland - they have three bolts.
But lately it seems that he has set his sights on someone very close to the family.
But is Natasha Una too close a relation to him? At least the game does not stop them getting it on.
You can easily tell that Cleopatra is a Capp, can't you :) .
Regan and Albany are a very happy couple, so it was no surprise to me that they tried for a baby all on their own.
All the Capps were present on Cleopatra's first birthday.
You can see that little Greta was a wanted child. The Patel's witnessed the happy event.
Vid looks at his women so lovingly, awwww.
Greta was born at the end of her family's rotation. Now I cannot wait to see, what my first sim child looks like.
I have a little project going on in the uberhood: I want to introduce the uni kids to as many single adults as possible. I'm hoping to see some interesting couples forming.
So, many young sim men have visited the Wan household.
The Oresha-Hoh-Var Fraternity guys cannot keep their fingers away from Patricia.
But Guy took things even further. Frances is appalled at such indecency.
Yes, I could not resist clicking 'try for baby' when Patricia and Guy headed for the bed.
Another patch of uni guys got to witness the birth of little Veronica.
Jimmy and Phineaus could not be more thrilled. I'm beginning to like these guys...
And yet another group of male students (plus Stephen Tinker) were present at Veronica's birthday.
I knew that Veronica would be a cutie, since I like both of her parents' face templates.
Even Cleo Shikibu enjoyed greatly the visits of the college guys to the Wan household.
Ajay made a booty visit to Cleo...
...and his visit was fruitful! I swear this time I did not do anything - they did that all on their own.
You notice that Ajay's name is missing from the birth announcement. He wants the child to stay a secret. He does quietly pay some alimony to his daughter, though.
Like a true rocker and a free spirit Cleo has a lot of lovers. Stephen Tinker is another one of therm.
.I'm kind of glad that Ajay had gotten Cleo pregnant before she hopped to bed with Stephen.
When little Mariko was born, neither Cleo nor I had any idea, whom she would marry. I hope she will give me a hint, which one of her many admirers she prefers.
The Ramaswamis are an established and boring couple, so nothing to report there.
Little Raza looks like all the Ramaswami kids in my game. And there have been quite a few of them in several hoods.
In my mind the Goodies are an idealistic and a bit naïve couple, who have moved from town to Riverblossom Hills chasing for some romantic idea of a peaceful and simple country life. But reality has hit them hard:
First they got Faith pregnant all on their own and then Herb got abducted also all on his own. All I did was provide the expensive telescope as a bait and he went went for it autonomously!
As if the pregnancies are not trying normally, the Goodies had to suffer for heat, too.
I was afraid that I'd lose Herb, because after the heatstroke he just lay there for a very long time and all his needs were bottoming really fast. But luckily he survived.
And in due time...
... little Nicholas...
... and ...
... Flora were born.
I had given the Crittur dogs to Faith and Herb. Four puppies were born and they grew into these enormous beasts.
They eat all the time!
And after the kids grew into toddlers and their life would have become a bit easier, they just had to get Faith knocked up - again all on their own. A BIG sigh! They have no money, no jobs and their house is already too small... oh the joys of simming! .D
I just cannot believe, how much fun this game can provide without my contribution. All that was needed was a little nudge from my part and after that I could just lean back and watch in awe the drama unfold before me...
Alexandra Theaterton has three bolts for two guys in my uberhood: Julien Cooke and Matthew Picaso.
I have already paired Alex with Julien in the regular Riverblossom, so I wanted to see how she'd get along with Matthew. I made Alex call Matthew over (this was the little nudge from my part - after this all I did was accept all calls to an outing or date) to see, if they'd get along.
And they got along just nicely!
"Alexandra is so delicious I could eat her for dinner!"
See, even the townie knows Matthew is cheating on Jessica.
I had not seen this before, so I just had to screencap it: either Jason Cleveland or Jason Greenman pulled some strings and got Alex promoted. I don't know how that was possible, since neither of them is on the same career as her.... By the way, Alex has three bolts with that colleague of hers, but I did not let her even get started with him.
Matthew called Alex on an outing with some friends (Malcolm and Victor at the other table belong to their group, too). I call this the cheaters club convening.
"We're just going to have our photograph taken", whistles Matthew innocently.
In fact it was a risky woohoo accompanied with a lullaby!
The next evening Matthew invited Alex on an outing again...
When they got out of the cab I said "SHIT!" out loud. Bringing your wife along was a really smart move, Matthew!
I had sent them to the downtown spa and of course Matthew and Alex made a beeline for one of the hot tubs.
Jessica was just settling down for a nice soak in another hot tub upstairs, when it happened!
See, even the sky is red with rage!
"You had the nerve to arrange for such a catastrophe! Have you completely lost your marbles? We will never come for an outing with you again." Matthew, you hypocrite, it was YOU who invited her and it was YOUR bright idea to bring Jessica along, don't you remember.?!
But Alex just got back into the tub with a really smug look on her face. I don't think it was a catastrophe for her al all.
Matthew, who has no backbone, immediately joined Alex in the tub. And this was the time Alex chose to tell Matt, that she's carrying his baby. Talk about finalizing the blow. :D
And then Alex had to start crying because she did not get any, the horny bitch! I really have no sympathy for her at this point.
Especially after seeing the poor, betrayed Jessica quietly swooning after Loki and looking so forlorn.
And then Alex gave birth on the pavement all alone. I have to play the Picaso household first, before I can move Matthew and Alex together.
But OMG - this game is so much fun! :) :)
Dear Editor,
In defense of my honourable profession against the horrible accusations made by "Two worried blondes" in your previous issue, I want to reveal the appalling conditions me and my colleagues have to work in.
We all are honourable men, who unwillingly have to wittness the decadent lifestyle of the high society.
We have seen wives cheating on their husbands with any Don Juan...
... they set their eyes on.
We have seen wise, old men lusting after young women...
.. not after just one, but several young women!
Men who should know better are falling for the wicked temptresses ...
(She's Olive Specter in case you did not recognize her.)
... thus endangering their reputation, fortune and even health in a most foolish manner.
This fornication takes place in public...
...and right in front of the children.
The impressionable younger generation has already adopted the same reckless lifestyle.
The poor kids are idolizing and imitating the trashiest members of the high society.
We also know what goes on behind your backs.
(Dina and Don are kissing in the Goth bathroom.)
Not to mention all the dirty things we involuntarily get to witness in the bedrooms of your mansions:
But we don't say a thing. We just efficiently clean the bed before the husband comes home.
And we keep your hot tubs sperm germ free after you and your lazy off-spring have used it for your decadent purposes.
(That's Charlotte Worthington and Rick Contrary making out in the DeBateau hot tub. I don't even remember who Armand is observing in the first pic.)
We are sure your ancestors would be appalled by what goes on in the once so respectable households.
We, the trusty butlers, work our fingers to the bone, when you - our masters and mistresses - entertain the others of your kind.
And we keep our mouths shut. But how long can we keep up with this? How long, when the only thank you we get is slander and public insult!
So, our 'honorable' masters and mistresses, think before you publish lies of your trusty servants!"
Q & A::
How to tell your child about 'the birds and the bees'.
We asked Doctor Don Lothario, who currently works as an intern in the Pleasantview Clinic, to give advice to all the parents struggling with the task of telling their offspring about the birds and the bees. The young doctor graciously made room for us in his busy schedule.
"I don't really see what's the problem here. Woohoo is a natural thing, so start talking to your children about "it" as early as possible.
Cut the crap about getting to know your partner first or being friends...
... and just tell them how fun making out and woohooing is.
The kids will surely pass this information on to their friends."
"Why, oh why, make a problem out of a simple and natural thing like woohoo.
Just express your lust for everybody openly, even in front of your kids.
If they get upset, it's your own fault. If you had not hidden your sexuality in the first place, you would not have such problems.
Your kid may not like seeing adult situations,...
But just explain that what he just witnessed was a perfectly natural thing between a romance sim and someone else's wife.
He'll surely understand and grow up a free and irresponsible spirit like the adults around him.
(I was laughing so hard at this scene with Tank going 'what!', Stella embarrassed and blushing and her husband in the back ground talking on the phone quite oblivious of the discussion at the table.)
"Don't let your child grow up into an ignorant, awkward and unskilled lover.
Make sure that your kids don't have to seek advice about the 'first time' from strangers when they grow up.
When your kids reach teenhood it's high time to share all the details about sexuality and woohoo.
Don't hesitate to show your love to your partner in front of your kids.
And you might even consider bringing your teens along to your lover and let them see how things are done in practice.
(Stella, the skank, wanted to bring a 'friend' along when Don invited her over. The 'friend' turned out to be her daughter. o_o.)
The kids might feel uncomfortable at first and not like what they see....
. .. but they will eventually get so used to free love, that they won't bat an eye even if you woohoo right under their nose.
Plus they will grow up into healthy adults who will want to do 'it' as often as possible, in as many different places as possible with as many different Sims as possible."
With these profound words Dr. Lothario bid us goodbye and returned to his demanding work.
All sim parents thank you, Dr. Lothario.
