SERIES 5: Family Obligations

DUKE
Duke decided to do the right thing and invite his girlfriend and their children to move in with him. It meant that he needed to renovate, but they could afford it. At least he only has to cater for two now, as unfortunately little Keon passed away.

That day, Duke headed off to work without breakfast. He then spent half the day feeling really grumpy because he was hungry. Duke's girlfriend really likes being pampered. She spends the afternoon lounging around, taking bubblebaths and going to the spa. At lease she serves up breakfast in the morning.


MESSY
HOLY COW!!! Messy has not one, not two but three, I repeat THREE girlfriends on the go at once - including Bunny, who he is still frequently seeing


SATHYR
Sathyr doesn't exactly get on well with Arcuied. You could even call them enemies. Sathy spent her days looking after little Darian. There are so many other things she wants to do with her life, and her heart and thoughts and dr eams still linger on those wonderful days with Marward.


THE B UNNY
The Bunny, finding her life is getting a little too domestic for comfort craves freedom, fresh air and tranquility. So she packs her bags and heads off for a vacation in Shang Sim La. Now, the Bunny is a Sim that craves physical perfection, and what better way than the Path of the Resolute Fist. A day spent there not honly has she achieved the yellow belt, but has recieved a request to get something from a tomb.

So she sleeps, eats her pancakes and heads off to see the tomb. She returns the relic she finds there and resumes her training at the martial arts academny, practicing breaking boards and achieves yet another belt.

Upon returning to Transimvania, the Bunny feels an overwhelming sense of renewal. Her mind fills with new possibiliites and potentials.


IMMORTELLE
Imm's pregnant again. So yet another room is added. Imm really really likes painting


MORIHA
Moriha has been working overtime, not because the family needs the money, not because she is a particulalry career minded individual, but to make her boyfriend sweat a little. WHen her boyfriend has to head off to work that afternoon, the babysitter he hires turns out to be an absolute moron. Maybe Abe chose the babysitter because the babysitter made him look good.


MAD GATSO
Mad wants to head back to Shang SIm La but he barely has enough money to pay the bills let alone a plane ticket to a foreign country.


ARCUIED
After the fire that nearly destroyed her home, and almost claimed her life, Arcuied finds herself cash strapped as her insurance company had failed to come to her aid. So she had to replace and repair everything herself, including doors and windows, to not mention the obscenely high cleaning hill.


BOO
Dutch has left town. With Wolfie out of her life, Boo is a single woman again, and she has managed to fall in love with just about every other male sim in town. Well, slight exaggeration maybe. But definately at least five, including Mad Gatso. She still has to look after Wolfie's child, however, so she has been condemned to the life of a single mother.


TRENT AND PYRETTA
Tren't starting to get pretty damn good at this cooking thing. He still cooks the words ever spaghetti carbonara though.

Trent and Pyr ove in just down the street. Trents studying to be a doctor and Pyretta wants to be a sports star.

Trent seems to have developed some sort of neurosis, as he is always freaking out over stuff,

TRANSIMVANIA RESET (again)

Unfortunately, due to technical issues surrounding the game (severe instability and loss of World Adventure accessibility), I had to do a complete reinstall of the Sims 2 + World Adventures. This meant that I needed to erase everything and I mean everything from my computer and start afresh. I still have notes of the last few weeks of series 4, so on request I will post them, but from here on in, its series 5.

This happened a while ago now. I've been playing a separate neighbourhood from Transimvania for a bit. Unfortunately it seems that there may be another reset involved. At present I am feeling very disappointed with EA. Their EPs are incredibly buggy, and their bug fixes and patches tend to do more harm than good.

Anyhow, we will see how we go this time . . . .
