Round 17 Update D (The Mullins Families)

Round 17 Update D (The Mullins Families)Years 36-42

Remember Inn? Susie Mullins-Danger's (and Caulfield's) daughter? Sure you do! Well, she graduated from college last round, and has been wooing her crush, Scott. He finally agreed to move in, and they live with her parents in a fancy hotel Downtown.

Caulfield here is her Daddy, a reformed romance sim, or so I thought. My sim self (and the town big mouth, hehe) happens to live in the apartment too, and Caulfield wants her. Badly. Tracie is a bi**h though, and doesn't really like anyone. She's not afraid to show it, either! The chick in the hot tub obviously feels the same way about her, she glares right back as Tracie slinks out of the tub. Heh.

Tracie is a one-sim romancer, she is totally in love/lust with her hubby, Don.

Don's mandar (or something) goes off, and he doesn't like an old guy sniffing around his woman like that. Hey, Caulfield used to be a hottie, back in the day!

At the Boyd-Mullins home, Shelley had to bust-a-move to try to get back into her father John's good graces. I don't know why he was mad at her, but she danced her way out of the dog house. This is definitely one of my oddest households!

Her hubby, Joshua embraces his three nice points, and decides to become a good witch, instead of evil! We'll see how long that lasts.

Their oldest daughter Sabrina just married Emem Ngai and they had a son, Zuri. Selene has been skilling and is off to college, while Darren just grew into his ugliness. Sort of.

He rolled Pleasure, and wants to become a Celebrity Chef. In the meantime though, he's just like any other teenaged sim boy, he quickly "befriends" Meadow, hoping to get his first kiss.

Who knew Popularity sims would make such good parents? Not me! Dick and Renny both take very good care of their unique looking daughter, Clarice.

Dick is already platinum thanks to having a gagillion friends, but Renny is still trying to become the next Celebrity Chef, since the old one is getting, you know...old. Too bad her mother, Christy takes all the credit whenever she whips up something yummy. Everyone "oooh'd" and "aaaah'd" over the baked alaska, Renny got none of the credit at all.

Christy and Kevin's other, forgotten children Piper and Adley finally grew up, hopefully to become more interesting teenagers than they were as children. Piper rolled Fortune, Adley rolled Romance.

Round 17 Update C (The Boyd Families)

Round 17 Update C (The Boyd Families)

Nothing happened with Nicholas Boyd and his family. Nothing! Rose got old, Zachary and Cookie had their 5th birthdays and started school. That's it. *yawn*

Over at Nicholas' father's house, however, things happened. Lots of things. His half brother Jaden took it upon himself to tempt the aliens.

John showed just what a caring father he really is. But he gets his, just watch...

Jaden's hubby Johnson wants to get in the Garden club, so he invites the lady over. They do get in, and get the well too, the first in Rainbow Ridge!

But it took a lot of work on John's part, and some sacrificing, as well. Hee hee. Poor John, he's a romance sim, and most of the neighborhood has plantsim (ism) as their turn offs, because we didn't have any before. I forgot to put a roof on the green house, so it was full of bugs. My bad. I may cure him eventually, but it's fun to watch him suffer for a while.

And as for John's other half (and Jaden's mother), Melissa hasn't been having an easy time either these days. She was in desperate need of 20 woohoos, so we packed up the wishing well and brought it to Jaden's club, Dance!. Apparently she used the well too often, and got the wrath of Mrs. Crumplebottom. Then she got caught cheating by someone or other, and had a break down. Ahhh, good times, good times. Melissa has always been good entertainment, I have to say.

Oh yeah, and Johnson's twin daughters had their birthdays, and started school. One of them is BFF with "Grandma" Melissa, the other can't stand her. I have no idea why. I obviously missed something though!

So, at the third and final Boyd home...John's granddaughter Victoria is still working on those 50 Dream Dates. She remembers catching Goopy cheating with someone, but has obviously forgiven, if not forgotten.

Atleast someone is getting some, because Victoria's parents are old and platinum, so I pay no attention to them at all. I really need to reinstall ACR, so they can atleast have some fun on their own!

The next morning, another dream date, a cheering mailman, and a resentful grandmother, hehe.

Inside the house, twins Ethan and Nicholas are catching up, gossipping about how Hannah burned the spaghetti. No mention of the fact that her marriage is a sham and her husband is in love with another man. Nope, nothing gets a chuckle like burnt spaghetti, apparently. Nicholas is shocked!

To help break up the monotony of the continuous dating, the lovebirds head to Jaden's Dance! club for some public woohoo thrills.

Where they are loudly cheered on by her grandfather, John. Ewwww.

Ethan was there too, and was getting chatted up by his ex-sister in law, Rose. He gave her the cold shoulder, then changed his mind and flirted with her, remembering how hot she was in their college days, maybe?

Big mistake Ethan! Victoria was outraged that her father would flirt with another woman right there in front of her, no less. The town gossip columnist Tracie was in shock, his father John was in shock, and Ethan was ashamed.

The next morning he showed back up at Dance! to make up with his father, who was not interested. Eh, they'll get over it sooner or later. That's it for the Boyd update!

Read more about what happened to Jaden in his journal here.
Also, even though Shelley is a Boyd, she will be included in the next round with the Mullins, which she is now, by marriage.

Helga's Wedding Pics and Keesha makes the cover!

Just two short updates to finish up the Randolph families. Thanks for the helpful comments everyone, they are very much appreciated! If I didn't have opinions I would have to rely on only my own! --scary thought! ;)

ETA: Helga's Journal and Wedding Album
and Keesha makes it big, her first magazine cover!

At the Fairchild's house, Denaro shows just how smart she is by not coming in out of the cold on her own. Some Knowledge sim! Blue looks good on her though, am I right?

Franc gets all emo playing a serious game with his cousin, Lina. (Lina's mom is Pammy, Jessie's sister) I pan the camera around to see exactly what game he's losing. The Sims 3? Heh. If you can "lose" while playing the sims, I'm in big trouble...

After Denaro thaws out and Franc quits in anger, Denaro tries to get bitten by Bailey before she heads off to college. Although they are good friends by now, it's a no go. Can teens get bitten? Is Denaro just full of fail? *ponders*

Over at the Pederson abode, a serious smustle session is going on. Kevin Mullins had gotten to be very good friends with Daniel and Maria when they were living in the same apartment building. Maria decided the apartment was too cramped with the addition of Goopy Jr., however, so they moved into a new house, and took her daughter Millie, and Millie's half sister Keesha with her. Renny was just walking by and stopped to smustle with her sisters.(Renny is also Kevin's sister in law, having married his younger brother, Dick. Confused? Me too...)

Maria makes a joke about how Christy couldn't have married Robert if she hadn't divorced him first, but Christy didn't think it was funny. She was still in love with Robert when he died, after all. Maria, not so much.

I decide to send the romance-minded half sisters on a quest to meet some new, not taken men, and what better place than the bowling alley? Too bad the only interesting character there is Mrs. Crumplebottom, who invariably shows up at wherever the skanky sisters go, and she cheers *mightily* as Millie falls on her face.

Speaking of the skanky sisters, Keesha finally did it, she became Rainbow Ridge's newest Rock God. Goddess? Thank goodness, Benjamin could break a hip nowadays!

Her little brother Goopy, who recently had his 11th birthday, belts out a tune, trying to reel in the ladies. Alas, everyone in the building was related to him, so it didn't work the way he had hoped.

On to the third, and final Randolph family home, we have a wedding! Helga finally gets the man she's been dreaming of since she was a child. Richard Siew, family man.

Always the Family sim, mom Pammy looks on proudly, and maybe a little nostalgically, wishing Gavin were still alive to see this day.

After having to resort to a few cheats, I finally wrangle the family up to pose for a quick picture. The wedding album will be posted in Helga's journal soon, with pretty pictures thanks to the fabulous builder of To Have and To Hold, sfw1962.
