Reign of the Sims II

SERIES 9: Let There be V A M P I R E S!!!!!!

2010-11-17T02:46:00.000-08:00

Surprise guys. New Series, NEW EXPANSION PACK!!! Yes thats right, I now have the new Late Night expansion pack, meaning our Raven Sims will now actually get to become vampires. So . . . which lucky Raven gets to become the first ever Sims 3 vampire? And how will they now fare, living in the city, as most of our Sims are hanging out in high rise apartments. And which Raven will become a superstar? Will any of them achieve this? All will be revealed . . . .

IMMORTELLE

When Imm read the description for her apartment, she expected rooms full of luxury and grandeur. Instead, what she got was a set of makeshift ramshackle rooms in the basement of the building, with barely enough room to turn around in. She is going to have to find a better place than this one. That night she gets bored.

Imm has set her sights on superstardom. She has so far met quite a few stars, and has so far failed to impress any of them.

Before long she sets about rearranging the furthing in the basement, making it a more attractive home, even claiming some other parts of the basement to herself.

RAPTURE

Rapture manages to find a nice sized apartment, only problem is its right next to a busy bridge. Good luck sleeping.

ANASENTIRE

The ever cool and stylish Anasentire has landed herself a cosy little apartment with pleasant oceanic views.

What is with Ravens and politics? Ana is the second Raven to elect a political carieer.

Ana has been playing the bass . . . . badly, in the towns dingiest of pubs. Lucky for her the pubs patron are all tone deaf drunkards, any piece of live music will do for them.

LESTAT

New kid on the block Lestat is not quite the politician, but he manages to at least land an office job. Lestat has discovered that his neighbour is a particularly sexy female vampire. Little does he know that this vampire has plans for him

*Lestat is Ravens first ever Sims 3 vampire!!! *

LADY WOLF

While some Ravens are interested in making the Law, Lady Wolf would rather enforce it, so she has joined the police force. She has also taken up drumming. Preferring to practice late at night, when her neighbours are all trying to sleep.

MORIHA

Morihas has gone steampunk!! She also has elected for a career in sculpting. What better life than that of spending your time sculpting life size statues of naked men.

TRENT AND PYRETTA

Trent and Pyre are living in a garage belonging to a block of apartments. Both of them have elected to become police officers. After a living in a garage and working as a lowly snitch, Trent and Pyr grow bored. So they decide to gatecrash a party. They get in without being noticed and cause havoc by playing music in the bedrooms, so that no one can get to sleep or get up to anything. The next day they are both really hungover, and don't get up until after 4 pm

SERIES 8: Settling Down

2010-10-02T18:16:00.000-07:00

Immortelle

Imm seems to have single motherhood sorted. Her children are doing greant, and her career is doing famously, she has even given Lady Wolf a make over. But at the end of the day, she always goes to bed exhausted, and frustrated that the little ones are yet to meet their father, who she just about never gets to see anymore.

Lady Wolf

LW has settled down and married that cook of hers. She has turned into a local celebrity, despite not being that high up in the political ladder.

She decides to throw a party and throw some drinks, only when she serves drinks, she doesn't just serve drinks, hell no - she serves EVIL drinks dammit.

Tiamat

Tiamat's gone stir crazy. She has been trying to invite people inside who clearly are not there, has managed to clog up all the toilets and blow up the stereo. Not going too well at work either. And to add to her string of bad luck she gets broken into. That day she came how from work feeling very tired and very stressed. All she felt like doing was curling up on the couch and reading a good book.

By the next day she felt much better, she was rested and relaxed, just a little bit hungry since she skipped breakfast that morning. But by the end of the day she felt like she wanted to tear her hair out again.

Anasentire

Anasentire is a bit of kleptomaniac, and has managed to acquire quite a few things to put around the house. Ana is yet another local celebrity - and one that sure knows how to throw a kick arse party.

Moriha

Moriha has found love in the arms of a man called Tobin. She also is the Mayor of Transimvania. However, all these late nights are starting to take their toll. Still, the parties must continue.

Trent and Pyretta

Since there family has grown, Trent and Pyr decided that a larger home closer to the city would be more suitable. The little one certainly needs a lot of attention, though, thats for sure. Three children certainly are a full time job. They barely get a moments sleep.

SERIES 8: Lifes A Party

2010-09-12T05:03:00.000-07:00

Immortelle
The kids have been leaving Imm feeling exhausted with their constant demands. When they are at play she is at least able to keep up with all the latest trends and practices a little fashion design.

Lady Wolf
Lady Wolf is now engaged to be married. SHe is also learning how to play guitar - she can actually play a few chords on it now, would you believe.

Tiamet
Tiamet raced off to work with her pancakes still on the stove, and as a consequence of this, her home catches fire. With no smoke detector installed, the firemen do not arrive to put the fire out, so the fire hungryly begins to devour the plaw. Destroying all her lovely furniture and appliances. By the time she arrives home, the fire is well and truely out of control.

Coming home she discovers the blaze, calls the fire brigade, runs upstairs, and faints. By the time she comes to, the firefighters have put the fire out. But her kitchen is in ruins. It is going to cost an absolute fortune to fix it up. But, she has the money to do it, so the furniture is soon replaced. But the clean up job is going to take some time. At least the effort required to clean up all the ash meant that she at least lost a bit of weight.

Anasentire
Ana desided to throw a party. It was a success. It helps, t hough, that she was best friends with many of the people of who were in attendance.

Moriha
Moriha is now a local representative of Transimvania. This, of course, means hosting more social events and talking to a lot more people. Saturday night though, Moriha throws a racey beach party complete with mojitos. One crazy night was had by all is all I can say on the matter.

Trent & Pyretta
At the other end of the islet Trent and Pyretta now have two little darlings, with number three on the way. Both the firey haired Lenore and the golden haired Leticia are both little cuties.

A typical scene in the D'Oreb kitchen.
Pyretta: "Pancakes, Dear?"
Trent: "Oh , er, no thanks Pyr, I think I'll cook my own breakfast this morning. Er . . . they do look good though dear."
Pyretta: "Hmpf!"

That night Trent comes home a little down in the dumps after his team loses the match that he had been training so hard to win. But no time to rest, with his pregnant wife peacefully dozing upstairs, Trent is left to care for the girls.

The next night, the surrounds are more tranquil, with all asleep. But soon the tranquility is disrupted with yells from Pyr as she goes into labour and races off to hospital, Trent still asleep. Trent wakes up, discovers Pyr gone and catches a taxi to the hospital.

Finally! A boy! Trent struts home carrying a screaming little Brody, ecstatic about finally having a son. Of course, in all this excitement, Trent ends up not getting any sleep and ends up having to go to work dead tired.

Lifes Little Twists and Turns

2010-09-06T02:22:00.000-07:00

Immortelle
Pyr and Trent aren't the onlys ones to find themselves blessed with little ones. Imm has two of them - Keely and Billy, her two children that she had to her sexy tattoo artist boyfriend. Still, they are pretty good kids, apart from the fact that her daughter has evil tendencies.

Lady Wolf
While LW hasn't had children yet, her boyfriend has moved in with her. Which is a good thing, as he is a cook.

Tiamat
Tiamat has a boyfriend, but he hasn't moved in with her yet. She also seems a little clucky too. She keeps reading books on pregnancy and thinking about childrens things. She has also taken to walking around with a plate of pancakes - what is more bizarre is the fact the she actually managed to score a promotion out of doing so.

Anasentire
Ana hasn't met anyone yet, though she isn't short of friends and acquaintences, and her political career is doing well, as she is now a member of the City Council.

Moriha
Moriha's life these days is full of late nights and glamourous fundraiser parties. They are beginning to become very popular and she often has people flocking to them and leaving huge donations.

Trent & Pyretta
Trent has been doing well careerwise - he has actually managed to join a league, you you believe.

Pyr thinks she has this whole motherhood thing well and truly sorted out: Y'see, what you do is you feed the baby, hug the baby, play with the baby - then leave it to the father to change the stinky nappies.

SERIES 8: Reset

2010-09-03T17:55:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, Series 7 was prematurely cut short after the neighbourhood became rediculously unstable. It would crash constantly. There was clearly a little glitch somewhere in the creation of that particular neighbourhood. This neighbourhood I tried something a little different. I moved all the Transimvanians into already existing homes with already existing sims in them, and then booted the Sims that were living there, that way the Transimvanians could move into houses they would not have otherwise been able to afford. I also moved in all the Sims before playing them, but am still playing them three days at a time.

Immortelle

Imm's moved into a huge house close to the shops, complete with furnishing. She decides to take on a career as a stylist.

After taking a few days off, her first day on the job was the worst, with her first ever client actually cancelling her appointment.

Lady Wolf

One door down, in an equally luxurious house, is Lady Wolf, who has gotten into politics, which is just as well, as its the only way she is going to be able to afford to keep the house.

Tiamet

Even further on down, Tiamet is busy settling into her new home, and is yet another politician in the making. So far her political life has proven to be awfully lonely, and she is really beginning to pack on the pounds.

Anasentire

Ana is yet another Raven that has chosen the political career. It seems just about every Sim bar Immortelle wants to be a politician.

Moriha

Moriha's high up in the world. She has managed to nab a place in Trasimvania city council.

Trent & Pyretta

Meanwhile, in the D'Oreb household, Pyretta has been sporting a baby bump, something she is quite excited about. Trent can hardly contain himself, and has been reading pregnancy books from cover to cover repeatedly.

Soon the time comes, and Lenore arrives. Trent was hoping for a little boy, but, well . . . .

SERIES 7: Transimvania Renewed

2010-07-30T14:04:00.000-07:00

Well folks, a new expansion pack has been added (Ambitions) and with it, a new neighbourhood look for Transimvania. Many of the old Transimvanians have left, but the good news is a couple of new ones have joined. And as such, you guessed it, another early ending to a Series, and the beginning of a newer one. Sims are being played now for three days at a time on the Epic timeframe setting. What this means is that you will see the Sims getting up to more, more changes occurring to Sims while not being played, and faster aging.

And now, without further ado . . . .

Immortelle

Doesn't have much money to burn, but she manages to land a nice two story place in the swamps. A bit ramshackle, but with a bit of work, it will look great. She has begun a career as a Private Investigator, snooping and spying on the other inhabitants of Transimvania.

The next day she was busy checking out the story behind a neighbourhood dispute

Lady Wolf

Has been Simmified, whether she likes it or not :P (Well, she was in the original Transimvania - albeit briefly, since her Sim was killed and became a ghost that haunted the new residents of the house.

Lady Wolf likes starting fires. She thinks they are hilarious. She even laughs and cheers when one starts up in her own kitchen.

Tiamat

Tiamat has joined the neighbourhood as one of the newest Ravens. And she turns out to be the only Raven who sucks more at cooking that Pyretta. When she burns things, she doesn't just burn her food, she burns the entire kitchen with it. She is obsessive about washing clothes, too.

Moriha

Moriha has found this awesome place that is up in the trees. A treehouse FTW. Can't afford to furnish it, and there had to be a bit of scaling down before she could buy it, but she has a treehouse.

The Bunny

Barely in her home for more than ten minutes and she manages to burn the kitchen down. This seems to be a trend this season amongst the Ravens. For some reason, she likes her houses to be near her workplace. Laziness, perhaps?

Mad Gatso

Over in Mad Gatso's Mad Cain, the Bunny is running rampant: picking fights and generally trashing the place. But he cares little for her presence or behaviour. He is much more concerned about the dripping tap in the bathroom.

Growing up, all Mad ever wanted to be was a fireman, so when the opportunity to become a Waterboy at the local firestation presented itself, he grabbed it, and even got a little pre work practice in by setting fire to his own kitchen and putting it out. The only thing is, Mad sucks at being a firefighter. Half the house is usually burnt by the time he ever manages to get the blaze out.

Trent & Pyretta

Trent and Pyr find a nice little place- the problem is, they can obly just afford it and have no money left over for any furniture. So they spend the night running around finding gems to cash in, in the hope of raising enough funds to at least get a bed. By the end of the night, they manage to furnish the place. Nothing flash, but its better than nothing. The next day, they realise they will need steady incomes and race off to find work.

SERIES 6: Somebody Dies :(

2010-06-23T08:49:00.000-07:00

Duke & Immortelle
The couple have settled into a pretty comfortable work/life routine, with there always seeming to be at lease someone home to look after Brook . . . . boring.

Trent and Moriha
Moriha's dumped the three screaming brats and moved in with Trent. Trent certainly didn't waste much time replacing Pyre, did he now?

And it certainly didn't take long for Moriha to find the bar either. At least we know why she finds him so attractive.

Dementia
Demmy's in lurve and she is positively glowing.

The Bunny
The Bunny spends another night out on the town, then staggers home to bed, only to discover that her boyfriend has clogged the toilet again. The next day she gets even more annoyed when she discovers Gustav has also busted up the bathroom tap and has completely flooded the bathroom.

Mad Gatsu
As Mad frantically struggles to staunch the flames of yet another house fire, he is set alight. Panic stricken, he runs to the nearest pool in a bid to save himself, but sadly he is too late. He passes away the moment he hits the water. RIP Mad Gatso, may his spirit live on . . . .

Mesayah
Just as Mad tragically passes on, Messy is back and again happily living in his funky little beach shack. Messy just cannot keep away from mirrors. He is completely fascinated by his own reflection. Ever heard of Narcassius, mate?

Pyretta Leaves Transimvania

2010-06-18T23:49:00.000-07:00

DUKE AND IMMORTELLE
Imm heads out for a night on the town, leaving Duke to look after Brook. She stays out till the wee hours and wakes Duke up as she gets in. Its strange: for someone who is supposed to be a party animal, Duke really is quite the homebody.

TRENT
Pyr's left Transimvania to conquer greater nations/

Doesn't bother Trent much, he is left with an awesome looking pad to lounge around in. And he doesn't have to put up with her crappy meals anymore either. Doesn't take him long to start making a mess of the place though

DEMENTIA
With Pyretta now out of the picture, Dementia is fast ascending the ranks of the criminal underworld

THE BUNNY
Imm isn't the only one enjoying the night life senza partner. The Bunny also heads out for a few drinks.

MORIHA
Moriha gets her memory back and realises that she now has two boyfriends: both Trent and Ruben (who is the father of her triplets). Not being able to handle the constant stream of mess, Moriha hires a cleaner to keep her home tidy.

MAD GATSU
Oh noez!!! Mad's been burglerised again. This time Mad does not take it lying down. Instead he opts for admiring the theifs tight buttocks then kicks the living crap out of them.

PYR IS TEH EBIL!!

2010-06-12T18:52:00.000-07:00

DUKE & IMMORTELLE
Duke has been working as a Roadie, touring with some out of town pop group. It's not really his style of music, but it sure as hell beats his last job. And it gives him more time to be with Brooke during the day.

The babysitter Duke hired isn't that good. Barely looked after Brooke and left rubbish everywhere. With Immortelle present, the lazy thing picks up her game quick smart, cleaning up her mess and even cleaning up her mess and even doing all the dishes in a desperate bid to quell the ire of her employer.

TRENT & PYR
Pyretta is is the Empress of Evil!! This is a fairly obvious fact really, because look at her cooking. And the fact that Trent is still just selling hot dogs at the stadium instead of playing?

Trent takes his frustration out on the house's plumbing, meaning that there is water everywhere, which Pyr absolutely hates. As a result, Pyr quickly finds herself surrounded by mess, a situation which she frantically strives to rectify.

DEMENTIA
Demmy seems to be getting on a bit better with Pyr, but her boss is the only person she talks to so . . .

Demmy's grown tired of growing lettuce. This comes as no surprise considering she spends her days sleeping and her nights beating people up that Pyretta doesn't like.

THE BUNNY
The Bunny has her own police cruiser now, since she has been promoted to lieutenant. It makes her feel all important.

MORIHA
Even though she doesn't remember giving birth to any of the children, or even what the father was like she cares for the children as though they were her own. She personally would prefer raising plants to raising children, they are so much queiter, you understand, and they would never keep her up half the night like this lot does.

Still hasn't got a job either. And she reaally wants to visit Champ De Sims.

MAD GATSU
Mad is another Raven that has made it to lieutenant. His bank account is looking a little happier as well.

SERIES 6: WORKING HARD OR HARDLY WORKING

2010-05-30T08:23:00.000-07:00

DUKE AND IMMORTELLE
Duke has been going a little stir crazy being stuck at home caring for the little one all the time, but thats parenthood for you. Even when he heads out for a night out on the town he can't handle it -- too tired.

Imm's idea of doing the dishes - lick 'em clean. Charming. Absolutely charming is what that is.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Pyr is a super villan! (always knew she was pure evil, I mean, just look at her cooking!)

Fed up with Pyr's idea of gourmet cooking, Trent has taken up the chore of cooking dinner.

DEMENTIA
Demmy's been promoted to a thug. These days she comes home from work absolutely exhausted.

THE BUNNY
With the increase in the size of the household, the Bunny has also had to increase the size of her little old church. Not a bad thing really. Just costly. Her son gets his own bedroom to play in with plenty of toys, and she gets her bedroom back, and she now has room for a proper kitchen and dining table.

MORIHA
Moriha has got amnesia. She doesn't remember her children, what she does for a living or anything. She doesn't even know when to wake up or go to sleep. So it comes as quite a surprise to discover three screaming toddlers running around her house, which seems to have doubled in size. And there are a lot more people in the neighbourhood than the last time she remembered. She doesn't recall being this tired all the time either.

MAD GATSO
Mad never seems to get anywhere with work, no matter how suave his attire may be. His boss tries to placate his discontentment with token raising, but Mad seeks it for what it is. Still, he slogs away hoping that it would one day bear better fruit.

SERIES 6: SETTLING IN . . . .

2010-05-29T02:13:00.001-07:00

DUKE & IMMORTELLE
Its a lazy Sunday and the pair are off attending short courses. Duke has decided to take little Brooke with him, rather than leave him to the baby sitter. The rest of the day is spent relaxing and just taking it easy.

TRENT & PYRETTA
Trent and Pyretta are still childless. But careerwise they are doing well, or at least Pyretta is anyway.

DEMENTIA
Demmy doesn't get on all that well with her boss, Pyretta, a fact that does't seem to bother her at all.

THE BUNNY
That hottie boyfriend Gustavo has moved in with the Bunny and the baby. Like hell she was gonna do this on her own. Gustavo is a bit of a clean freak so he not only keeps Kristen out of her hair, but he cleans up to.

MORIHA
Things are certainly chaotic in Moriha's household. The house is in complete disarray due to all the extensions that have been added on. But she gets her pretty kitchen back, and an office.

MAD GATSO
Mad likes to clean things, not because he likes things to be clean and tidy, the state of house doesn't bother him. He just really likes cleaning things. All he wants to do is clean.

Mad's Asian House

SERIES 6: PROCREATION

2010-05-25T04:25:00.000-07:00

DUKE AND IMMORTELLE
Duke has been at it again. The first Raven in the series: Brooke. She has her daddy's hair and her mummys skin.

Duke wakes up that morning and makes a serving of waffles. Tury turn out slightly burnt, so despite his rumbling stomach, he sets about preparing yet another. Imm comes downstairs, and spies the burnt offerings that Duke had cast aside going cold on the kitchen benchn and grabs a plate. She doesn't care, she'll eat anything.

After breakfast Imm goes back upstairs and teaches little Brooke to walk.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Pyretta's meals are as terrible as ever. The couple have learnt not to try and taste the meals; just shovel it down and pray that they do not catch any hint of the flavour.

DEMENTIA
Demmy's lettuce has been doing very well. It has been classified as outstanding. Demmy is very proud of her lettuce. She likes to tell everyone about it.

THE BUNNY
The Bunny has a baby!!! A little newborn girl called Kristen. 'This little one is going to seriously cramp her style,' she thinks, 'but damn, the father was just so hooooot!'. She never gets to have any fun, either - she is either sleeping or looking after Kristen . . . or eating . . .

MORIHA
Holy cow Moriha has Triplets!!!! O_o

Their names are Tawana, Gilbert and Camilla. Raising three little tykes all of the same age is an inincredibly expensive and exaustive task - especially for someone who is only a kitchen scullion. She actually had to sell part of her lovely kitchen to cover the expenses, and pay for the house extension needed for the children.

MAD GATSO.
Mad's slowly finding that miney to furnish his house. But it seems as soon as he gets some nice new furniture, it gets stolen. Its driving him mad!!! Mad I tell you!!! (Wait. He already is. So no harm done, I guess.)

SERIES 6: RELOAD

2010-05-25T01:18:00.000-07:00

DUKE AND IMMORTELLE
After both getting work, (Imm finds one at the city hall, and Duke gets one at the theatre), they both decide that it would be fun to take a guitar class together. Now all all Duke needs is a guitar. Hmmm, yes. If only.

Afterwards they hang out outside the theatre and gasbag for hours. Sure is quiet in town. Finally they head off home to relax and have a bite to eat. Of course, its a miracle they even manage to eat a warm meal, because they still continue to gasbag.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
WHen Pyretta gets out of bed the next morning, she chuckles to herself, carefully planning out her foul tasting breakfast. And the breakfast was truely horrendous. Afterwards they head out, find work and attend a fitness class. Upon returning home, they work out some more.

DEMENTIA
Demmi's living up to her namesake and has turned out more than a little warped and twisted. She is absolutely obsessed with growing lettuce. She hates lettuce, but she really wants to grow them and eat them. She searches the countryside for her lettuce seed. She finally finds one and proudly plants it at the back of her yard.

THE BUNNY
The Bunny moves into an old converted church that has definately seen better days, as she thinks it looks like a really cool place to live.

That morning she nearly loses her cool new crib after a meal of waffles blossoms into a kitchen fire. Afterwards, she heads off to get a job with the local police force which is conveniently just down the road. She spends the rest of the day reading and viewing the world through her telescope.

MORIHA
Moriha finds a charming little house surrounded by a garden of vibrant blooms and rich, colourful foliage, with a really nice green country style kitchen.

After realising she was starting to get a little short on cash, she gets a job washing dishes at the local restaurant. While there she meets Trent and Pyretta, who had been enjoying a coffee and a light snack. Later, she heads off to the art gallery.

MAD
Mad finds this amazing asian style house right next to the stadium. Unfortunately he barely has the funds to afford the place. He bites the bullet and buys it anyway. Maybe he can do without a few things for a while, like a couch or table and chairs

The next day, while having breakfast, he discovers that the toilet is a great place to sit and eat. He heads into town and chats away to all the tourists and learns to sing a whole stack of songs. I think the plan is to send everyone else mad with his half baked ulalations.

SERIES 5: Family Obligations

2010-02-22T06:17:00.000-08:00

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.

SERIES 5: Fortune

2010-02-19T15:23:00.000-08:00

DUKE
Here's something different. Duke has managed to go a week keeping his pants up.

MESSY
Bunny has left Messy. This is no surprise considering their relationship was wrought with infidelity. While he still loves Bunny, he has plenty of other women that he has been seeing.

SATHYR
Sathyr worked her butt off today and came home to an early bed.

THE BUNNY
The Bunny has moved in with her latest boyfriend. A sim called Guillermo: a westerner with a penchant for dressing in asiastic attire.

IMMORTELLE
Being a relic hunter, she is itching to hit the road and travel abroad. But she doesn't want to leave her boyfriend and baby at home. Ian does a good enough job of caring for Amir while she is at work, but she doesn't know how he will go while she is overseas for more than three days.

MORIHA
Moriha's boyfriend has moved in. Obviously he feels a need to be with his children and wants to help out. At least we hope thats the situation here.

Little baby vannessa keeps the household up all night. SHe is obviously one of those babies.

MAD GATSO
Mad hasn't been doing so well financially. While he has a nice neat and tidy home, his bank account isn't the same

ARCUEID
Arcueid is a little better off, but still stuck in the same job. Sheh as set up a chess board in the garden and landscaped the place with palm tees marigold and flagstone pavers. It looks very nice

BOO AND WOLFIE
Boo and WOlfie have a little 'un. Arcueid's house is on fire!! Boo heard the explosion coming from her neighbours hour, but there was nothing she could do. She could see Arcuied inside frantically tring to souse the flames. I hope Arcuied's okay. She decides to flirt with danger and play chess on Arcueid's chess board. Who needs a backyard when you can use your neighbour's. Right?

By the way, the name of Boo and Wolfie's son is Rudy.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Trent's been promoted to a bed pan cleaner. Still a shitty job but hey, it pays better, and he gets a snazzy pink uniform.

MORIHA
Moriha has been feeling particularly fertile. She has a little daughter called Tennille and another on the way.

She constantly craves them.

That night she gave birth to her second daughter, Vanessa.

MAD

Mad spent a bit of time off after work to meditate. As a result is is a lot more focused these days.

ARCUEID
Now here's a first. For the first time in Sims 3 Transimvania, we have a series where Arcueid is the only Raven female without a baby.

BOO & WOLFIE
Wolfie isn't exactly a winner in the popularity stakes, as he has managed somehow to acquire quite a few enemies. They've had to build an extra room to their home. Now, I wonder why that could be.
That night, Boo and Wolfie make themselves dinner. Boo burns her fettucini carbonara so she pinches Wolfie's plate of salad before he gets a chance to have any of it. Guess what that means Wolfie has to eat instead?

She brings it all up again early the next morning though

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Pyr's up to her usualy tricks of trying to burn the house down with her cookery. Trent decided that this whole food burning think looked like great fun, so he set the kitchen on fire too. There was soot everywhere.

SATHY
Both the Duke and Sathyr have something in common: they are both lieutenants in the Transimvanian Police Force.

MORIHA
Moriha goes on a trip to Champ Le SIms. Guess what she visits? A winery. She spent the whole day there, but had dinner at the French cafe in town. She spent the next day at the winery too. And after that she went fishing and caught a few frogs. Upon returning to Transimvania she goes to Central Park to play chess with the local postwoman. She wins.

WHen he gets there she spends the entire day practicing on a training dummy. Another morning in Shang Sim La, and he feels sore and stiff. But he continues on his path of the Resolute Fist.

MESAYAH
Next morning, Messy arrives in town. He decides to join the army. He thinks it would come in handy. After that, he goes for a nice little jog around town, then back home for a bite to eat.

SATHYR
The next to arrive in the wee hours of the morning is Sathyr. She also joins the police force, and Sathy runs into a charming young Egyptian tourist wandering around the place. They immediately start flirting with one another. She soon finds herself being swept off her feet by this exotic gentleman. SHe spends the rest of the day singing and chasing butterflies.

IMMORTELLE
Next off the rack is Immortelle. She grabs a job in music and heads off overseas to Shang SimLa. While over there she raided a few tombs, and got some great souvenirs to take back home. With a living room filled with precious gems and artifacts that she had found, she relaxes and sleeps soundly, dreaming of her next great adventure.

THE BUNNY

MAD GATSO

BOO NAD WOLFIE
Boo gets a job in the police force and almost straight away she gets clucky. Wolfie is more interested in learning the way of the Resolute Fist. Which means flying off to Shang Sim La. Boo found a pretty yellow sapphire sparkling away in her backyard. I guess these two Ravens can haz sparkles.

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)

2010-02-12T22:14:00.000-08:00

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 . . . .

SERIES 4: Wandering Minds

2010-01-20T06:11:00.000-08:00

MESSY AND ARCUEID
Messy has finally managed to become a Council Member. Once Mitzi has been fed, Arcuied heads off to the art gallery. As Arcueid gazes at the dazzling display of creative art, her wayward mind drifts and thinks of Paris and the wonderous sights she could see there. And then signs. Back to reality. She turns around and heads back home to where a loving husband and an adorable child await her.

She comes home and prepares a mean. But her thoughts were still with Champ Le Sims, and ash she showered, a fire began to line the kitchen walls with their ever hungry flames.

SATHYR
Sathyr pays Duke a visit and introduces him to his new son. He doesn't seem all that enthusiastic. ut considering he has six children with three different women, this is no surprise.

IMMORTELLE AND THE DUKE
Imm couldn't handle sharing Duke with four others, so she left him. No idea where she has gone, but now Duke has a son and a daught to take care of in his own. These kids are seriously cramping his style.

THE BUNNY
The Bunny had a fairly ordinary day. Worked. No promotion. Spent the whole afternoon bitching about it to Boo.

MORIHA
Mad and Moriha are boyfriend/girlfriend.

Moriha spends her day off working up a sweat at the gym. She wanted to head off to Champ Le Sims, only their were some technical difficulties at the Transimvanian Airport.

MAD GATSO
Mad spent the day picking up some new skills. Mad caught a minnow, named it Faye and put it in a bowl. Mad likes Fay. She's his bestest freind in the whole wide world.

BOO AND WOLFIE
Boo and Wolfie are a creative bunch. Boo spent her day off painting, and Wolfie practiced on the guitar.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Sathy came over to visit. She couldn't stay long though, as Pyretta had to go to work. Trent had a few errands to run after work and then he was back to the military base to attend a course in handiness.

SERIES 4: The Case of the Harem

2010-01-19T02:39:00.001-08:00

MESAYAH AND ARCUEID
Messy and Arcueid have had a baby girl called Mitzi. Nice name choice there folks. Messy's got a mouldy bowl on the kitchen sink that he won't get rid of. Ew!!!

SATHYR
WHAT ON EARTH!!??! Looking Sathyr's list of acquaintences friends and family shows Duke being her husband. He is also married to Immortelle. What on earth has this guy been up to. I didn't even realise a Sim could be married to multiple other Sims in this game!! How many other women is he married to. Its bad enough that Sathyr has a son to him (called Reed of all things.)

IMMORTELLE AND DUKE
Duke, as we now know, is at present married to both Sathy and Immortelle. He is has three children with yet another wife. Immortelle also has a daughter called Jeanne. She is currently pregnant with another child.

THE BUNNY
Damn, that Dukie boy sure is doing the rounds. Not content with 3 wives and six children, he is also having an affair with the Bunny as well.

MORIHA
Boo comes over to hang out with Moriha. She nearly kills them both trying to cook breakfast. I suspect Moriha has homicidal tendenceis as she really wants to see Boo as a fiery ghost. Not that she actually hates her or anything. They're actaully friends.

MAD GATSO
Mad's doing really well at work, but he is still just a paper boy. Mad has been feeling a little lonely , so he heads off to Central Park to check out the local talent. Moriha's there, so he tries to pick her up. He fails miserably.

BOO AND WOLFIE
Boo's really good friends with the Bunny. Wolfie wants another child, but I don't think Boo is that keen on the idea. A theif made off with their shower while they were sleeping.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Both Trent and Pyr have promotions. Trent works in the army mess hall now and Pyr is a cutpurse.

You see, this is what happens when you let Pyretta cook stuff.

After breakfast, Trent and Pyr head off to the gym for a work out. After a vigorous workout, Pyr feels a bit peckish and decides to have something to eat. She managed to wreck just about everything in the gym's kitchen.

Duke helps out a lot w hen it comes to caring for the little ones.

MESAYAH
Arcueid has moved in with Messy. They're not married or going out yet. But they are madly in love. Messy is still cleaning podiums though.

SATHYR
Sathyr had some idiot sim try to move into her house. She kicked the fool out quick smart.

She spent the day attending a handiness class and touring the military base. Because she thought it would be a cool thing to do. After work she spend s the might playing chess in Central Park

IMMORTELLE
Imm's been promoted to work as a filing clerk. She feels a need to improve her handiness skills, so she attends a course at the military base as well. The afternoon was spent on the phone yapping away to her boss.

THE BUNY
The Bunny has also become a Member for the City Council. Which means a bigger house, nicer things and even room for a guitar and easel. But it also means she has to work harder.

She goes to Central Part to chat to some of the citizens. She meets Boudicca, and tries to convince her to donate to the Council. Boo is not in the slightest bit interested in donating to her cause, although they do manage to become friends.

MORIHA
Moriha hasn;'t really met very many people in Transimvania yet. The only person she knows is her boss. For most part to tends to keep to herself.

MAD GATSO
Mad is still working as a paper boy. At least he has a few friends these days.

BOO AND WOLFIE
Boo and Wolfie had had a little girl called Lois. For some reason Boo and Wolfie always manage to produce really really ugly babies.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
While they both have a day off work, they choose to spend the day doing different things. Pyr goes to the gym, and Trent hangs out at the park. They still have dinner together, though.

2010-01-14T14:13:00.000-08:00

DUKE DANSE MACABRE
When Duke arrived in town, he headed over to the city hall and got a position with the council. He does love his positions to have authority, doesn't he now? Afterwards he attends guitar lessons and chats up a Chinese tourist. But the at the end of the day Duke finds that being the only person living in Transimvania can be very lonely.

MESAYAH
Over the road from Duke is Messy. Much like Duke, Messy grabs himself a council job, since that seems to be where its at at the moment.

Messy is a shocking cook.

That night he goes to the local cemetery to see if he can spot any ghosts - because he thinks it would be really cool to see one. He sits down on the bench and waits. To help pass the time, he starts to read a book, only he becomes so entrossed in what he is reading, that he fails to notice a ghost that walks right past him.

SATHYR
Sathys got a job folding cloths at the local health and beauty spa. After landing the job, she kicked back and chilled at the diner across the road, and even attended a cooking class there. Then she headed off home again. All in all, a pretty enjoyable, if boring, day.

IMMORTELLE
Imm arrives in town, has breakfast, then gets a job as a coffee courier. Afterwards a painting class is in order - because she likes to think she is artistic and talented. Then its back home again to relax and read a book or two. A rather unexciting day, really.

THE BUNNY
The Bunny is another sim working for the Transimvania city council

She goes to the gallery, which is by the way, packed with snap happy tourists, and is inspired. A pity there is no room at her place for an easel

MORIHA RAVEN
Moriha has been feeling rather devilish of late, so she accepts a position as a decoy with the local crime syndicate. Then she heads off to the gym, where she works out until late at night.

ARCUIED BRUNESTAD

BOO AND WOLFIE
After serving a breakfast of charcoal black waffles, our duo both get jobs in music. Wolfie isn't the best cook in the world, but they are both starving, so they'll eat anything.

These two do everything together. They've only beed in town a few hours and already they are thinking about babies. By early next morning, Boo is rushing to the toilet with morning sickness.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Pyr, ever thr rogue, has chosen a life of crime. Trent, on the other hand, is the more orderly of our duo, prefers the structure of the military life. First night in and they're robbed! (the theif stole their toilet :) )

TRANSIMVANIA RESET

2010-01-14T14:07:00.000-08:00

Due to what seems to be a bug in the World Adventures expansion pack recently installed, I have had to erase and redo Transimvania.

Both Moriha and the Bunny had purchased a martial arts training dummy while on holiday in Shang Simla, and it caused some rather serious instabilities in the game. In order to get the Sims working again I had to delete the neighbourhood and start over.

I still have the last few posts from Series 3 if anyone wants them, but at this point, I'll be publishing Series 4.

SERIES 3: The Return of the Duke

2010-01-13T04:45:00.000-08:00

DUKE DANSE MACAMBRE
Duke moved in and straight away he was in front of the telly doing aerobics workouts. Afterwards, he taxied over to the cop shop and signed up into the police force, then realised he had forgotten his breakfast, and raced back home again. He had waffles, which he completely botched up and burnt to a crisp. He ate them anyway.

Duke's hanging out for a party, but he doesn't know anyone in the neighbourhood yet.

Bored out of his mind, Duke skulks around the neighbourhood, kicking over everyone's rubbish bins and generally makes a mess of the place. In this middle of his rampage, his boss Trent calls up for a friendly chat, and cautions him concerning his reckless and irresponsible ways.

MESAYAH
A few houses down, the Buny comes over to visit Messy. The Bunny thinks Messy is cute, but he has no idea how to pick up chicks. But then it is time to go to work. Messy reluctantly hops in the car and heads off.

Messy has quite a few girlfriends on the go, so perhaps he knows more about charming women than what the Bunny thinks. He comes home and works out in front of the telly. Gotta keep himself trim for the ladies, you understand.

After his work out, its a bowl of macaroni and cheese in front of the tv for him. While eating, he chuckles evilly into his bowl What on earth is this guy planning???

In the morning, he wakes up and goes to the toilet, only to find that the bathroom has been flooded out.

IMMORTELLE
Imm has moved in with her boyfriemd, Gage Brody. She finally has enough room for her own computer, so she is able to finish "War and Geese" without needing to use the library's crappy computers. It is finished and is an instant bestseller.

THE BUNNY
The Bunny is still in her little house in a minimum wage medical position. She can't figure out why she isn't getting anywhere. Its not like she has any drive, any ambition or the like. Its not like she is happy working as an organ donator, either, I mean she only has so many organs in her body that can be donated for crying out loud. Still, she isn't exactly unhappy with her life so far either.

MORIHA
Moriha has managed to become a member of the Transimvanian City Council. She bounds into the house and decides to treat Camilla with some grilled cheese sandwiches, but nothing ever seems to put a smile on the face of her surly little daughter.

MODRON
Modron has a fairly uneventful day,o other than the fact that she chose not to perform in the park today. However, that night she did get broken into. She called the police. But they were too late, and the theif had run off with her television.

ARCUEID AND MAD
Arcueid still runs a department, but what she really wants to do is learn how to play a guitar, and conduct an orchestra. So that night, after work, instead of going home to help out with caring for the children, Arcueid quits her job, takes guitar lessons and joins the music career. By the time she gets home that night, Mad is hungry and very, very cranky.

BOO
Boo's eldest has grown. He's not as ugly as he was when he was a little baby. She doesn't have much time for herself these days, looking after a house full of children.

TRENT AND PYR
They have had yet another daughter called Loretta. Hmmm . . . . Pyretta and Loretta. . . . .

Trent wandered into someones house and started using their telescope. The house's owners weren't terribly amused by Lieutenant D'Oreb's misbehaviour.

With there not being enough room in the house, Pyr sets up the nursery in the garage. Trent will just have to part the cruiser otuside.

SERIES 3: New Life

2010-01-12T13:06:00.000-08:00

MESAYAH
Messy's only been in town a week and already he is breaking hearts.

IMMORTELLE
Imm almost forgot that today was a work day. She ended up spending only an hour at work before it was time to knock off. She is still working on "Oar and Geese". She saw Boo in the library today. My my, that belly of Boo's is looking awfully round, isn't it? Boo actually gave birth to her third child while in the library that day.

THE BUNNY
The Bunny has bought one of those steampunk telescopes, and she really likes using it. It is almost as good as gardening. Almost.

MORIHA
Moriha got some bookse to improve her charisma. Camilla's grown a bit. She is turning into a grumpy little thing.

MODRON
Modron did a spot of midnight gardening.

ARCUEID AND MAD
The babysitter Mad hired wasn't very good. He just stood outside the door and read a book. When Mad came home the little ones were screaming the poor little lungs out. But by their bedtime they were all fed, cleaned and tucked in to bed as they should be. Mad didn't get any writing done though, and he was absolutely exhausted.

BOO
Boo's had a little girl called Leanne. Her eldest, Kevin has grown up. He is a cowardly little thing who is friendly and easily impressed. Wolfie has come over again, and well . . . . nothing really.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Trent and Pyr have had a . . . um . . . a daughter - I think. They have named it Nawwaf. Weird name guys. Weird. They have also moved into a new house. Messy won't be happy about that one - he has lost his free entertainment. Nawwaf is as evil as her parents and cute little thing really. Trent is not particularly a fan of babies, but he certained does enjoy trying to make them. He is always trying to make babies with Pyr these days.

SERIES 3: New Sim On Da Block

2009-12-18T06:51:00.000-08:00

MESAYAH
Messy has moved into the neighbourhood. He's got a little house just down from the D'Orebs. He's decided that he wants to get into politics; so he gets on his bike and rides there. After getting a job at the Council buildings, he attends a guitar class. He doesn't actually own a guitar, but that doesn't really seem to bother him

He is barely in town two minutes, and what does Mesayah do? Picks a fight with Trent, whats what (Seriously what is it with Raven Sims and fighting Trent? The two seem to go hand in hand.) After decking Trent, he turns around and chats up some blonde called Kiley.

Messy really likes setting fire to his kitchen and then putting it out again. If gives him a great excuse to spray himself in the face with the fire hydrant. He spent half the day doing this, before finally deciding on eating a bowl of tinned soup.

Messy has discovered that he is able to spy on the D'Orebs from his bedroom window, which he tends to do a lot of.

IMMORTELLE
Imm's still working as a professional blogger. SHe left food on the stove and headed off to work, resulting in the almost total destruction of her kitchen. Fortunately, she had a fire alarm installed and the fire department was able to get there in time to save the house. She still had to replace half the kitchen though.

After work, she headed off to the library to continue her epic novel "Oar and Geese". Then it was a late feed of Mackie and CHeese and then it was off to bed.

THE BUNNY
The Bunny seems to have traded one dead end, crappy job for another. But she has got a pay raise. That has gotta count for something, right? The Bunny is also a huge fan of macaroni and cheese, even though with her cooking skills, she is able to make much more appetising meals.

MORIHA RAVEN
Moriha has also decided to leave the stove unattended while she raced off to work, much to the distress of Camilla's babysitter Jan. But of course, Jan didn't seem to mind the hunky fireman who showed up to put out the fire.

MODRON
Modron had a fairly quiet and uneventful day today.

ARCUIED AND MAD
Arcueid and Mad have finally found a place that they like. They had an easy morning, too. Arcuied's finally got this whole motherhood thing sorted out, and Md has had a book published. Not much, but it was something, at least. Arcueid still has to endure late nights, thanks to 3 screaming toddlers however.

BOO
Boo is feeling a little restless. She has moved into an abandoned manor. Wolfie came over to visit that night, after he left, Boo was feeling a little queasy . . . .

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Trent and Pyr have finally managed to find time for one another.

SERIES 3: Fun and games in Transimvania

2009-12-17T07:50:00.001-08:00

IMMORTELLE
Imm likes to chase butterflies. She caught a pretty yellow one in the park. Then spent the afternoon interviewing people and conducting research for her blog articles. After that she continued work on her epic story, "War and Geese". That night, she had a nice big feed of sushi.

THE BUNNY
The Bunny is the latest Raven to moon over a sim who doesn't moon back. But, who knows. Maybe, she will have better luck than Moriha.

Karina spent the eveing playing chess in the park, gatecrashing Trent and Pyretta's romantic picnic dinner, eating their food and beating up Trent. She then went and undermined a couple of local charities. In all a very fulfilling day of chaos and mayhem.

MORIHA RAVEN
Moriha always has people over these days. It is part and parcel of being a politician, I guess. Little Camille is growing up to be quite a bright little spark.

MODRON
Modron never skips a day where she performs in the park, much to the delight of her ever growing legion of fans. She is now a Talent Scout.

ARCUEID AND MAD
Neither Arcueid nor Mad have achieved any kind of promotion, and little wonder. Their Bosses and workmates hate them, and no editor in their right mind owuld have Mad when his writing skills are as crappy as they are at present. And, of course the fact that they are both always so tired because of the children would have a hand in it, too.

BOO
Still no sign of Wolfie. She's currently living in a kick arse house that even has a telescope on the roof and a large study. WOlfie still comes over to visit, and see how the kids are. He never stays very long though. I suppose that is the way it is when you are a Squad Leader.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Trent's getting quite good at cooking, and he got a pay rise at work as a Traffic Cop, as has Pyretta. But with the hours Trent and Pyr keep, they never get to see one another.

SERIES 3: The Antics of Central Park

2009-12-10T06:59:00.000-08:00

IMMORTELLE
Another day. Imm's got a boyfriend. A sim by the name of Gage. He's the father Camille, who is Moriha's daughter. Imm has also written her first book

THE BUNNY
The Bunny has quit her crappy job. SHe decided it would be fun to sneak around Central Park scaring the shit out of people and picking fights.

MORIHA RAVEN
Moriha's still the Intern at the town's council offices, but not for long as she managed to get a promotion.

MODRON
Modron these days always makes a point of busking in the park for a few hours in the morning. Modron's well and truly over Elliot now. She saw him in the park and didn't even swoon. That could possibly be because of her new boyfriend though. Although since she started her performances in the park and has gained a bit of fame and popularity, Elliot has begun to pay her more attention.

ARCUEID AND MAD
Arcuied and Mad's family seem to have turned into nomads as they have been going from house to house. The three little terrors have been keeping Mad and Arcueid very busy. Poor Arcueid didn't get any sleep that night. The children kept her up with their neverending demands.

BOO
It seems that boo's household is another that is nomadic. Wolfie's still visiting every day but he still won't move back in, and he can't be found anywhere in town.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Still no babbies for the D'Orebs, and no inclinations of any such thing either. But as usuall Pyrs been running around the place wrecking just about anything she sees.

SERIES 3: Moving On

2009-12-08T07:21:00.000-08:00

IMMORTELLE
Imm had a busy day today chasing down leads on potential scoops. Imms also started writing a book. She stayed until ate at the library writing it, got some nice royalty from it, too.

THE BUNNY
Trent has come over to visit. She still studies shit for a living. Trent decided that it would be great fun to kick over the Bunny's rubbish bin. He'd then pick it up and do it again. And again.

He then went it and said something that embarrassed the Bunny and too off. Strange man. She spent the rest of the day gathering all kinds of seeds and then planting them in the garden. She didn't go to bed until late and was then woken by a burglar who sole one of her chairs.

MORIHA RAVEN
The ever popular Moriha is always entertaining someone. Because of her mother's fame, little Camille is already a winner in the popularity stakes.

MODRON
Modron's finally gotten over Elliot. I suspect her close friends had a hand in that. She spent the morning entertaining her adoring fans in the park with her mean guitar skills

ARCUIED BRUNESTAD AND MAD GATSO: Arcuied and Mad have moved into a mansion. Partly because they now have three children, including their new daughter Florence. Motherhood is starting to take its toll on Arcueid's body, as she is beginning to gain weight. But the mansion has a nice big swimming pool, so that should burn off those excess kilos quite nicely.

BOUDICCA
Still no idea where Wolfie has vanished to, but he seems to have giben her yet another very unattractive son with a very very girlie hairdo. She also has sought a larger home to cater to her ever growing family.

TRENT AND PYR
Pyr spent the whole day in front of the t.v - doing aerobics you understand.

SERIES 3: Seperation and Wandering

THE BUNNY
The Bunny spent the day roaming the country side, collecting seeds for her garden. DSHe met a few people, but they all thought she was boring. Must be all that gardening and the crappy job.

MORIHA RAVEN
Its been pretty uneventful for Moriha this week.

Their little house was a bit too cramped for their growing family and they had found a much bigger and nicer place to live. Himmm. Five bedrooms and only 2 children. Now how do we rectify this situation . . . .

THE BUNNY
The Bunny never getys out these days, and its sending her stir crazy. She decided to hang out at the cemetary for a thrill one night. Ghosts, in her opinion, are seriously overrated. Didn't scare her one bit.

Moriha spend the morning hanging out at her boyfriends place. A guy called Milton. Apparently he is Camille's father. She has breakfast there before heading off to work, calling the baby sitter to come and take Camille home.

MODRON
Modron's still mooning over Elliot. Still hasn't asked him out. Maybe its because Elliot doesn't like her back. But then out of the blue, Elliot calls her up. They're on the phone for hours.

MODRON
Modron's learnt a new song. Now she doesn't have to send the neighbourhood mad with her various renditions of Smoke on the Water. She finally got round to replacing the stove, and she's got herself a job as a stagehand. The extra money she makes from that will come in handy for sure.

ARCUIED BRUNESTAD AND MAD GATSU
Mad never pits the baby away after he has played with him. He just leaves Tyson lying around the place. Another thing for Arcueid to pick up. Arcueid wants another baby. Which is kind of bizarre considering Tyson keeps them up all night.

WOLFPACK AND BOUDICCA
Wolfie's managed to teach Kevin how to walk, now the little guy scurries all over the place. For some reason Boo sneazes a lot. Wolfie fancies himself quite the artist.

Imm's been hanging with the D'Orebs. This is a curious development because in the previous series Immortelle and Trent most certainly did not get on well.

THE BUNNY
Karina's managed to make a few enemies and very few friends. Ah well, at least her plants like her.

MORIHA RAVEN
Moriha has a day off work, and chooses to spend it in the library studying. After a day studying, she heads off home for a nice mean. A pretty boring day, really.

ARCUIED & MAD GATSU
Arcueid is doing quite well for herself in the corporate world. She's nw the head of her department. Mad, on the other hand is still just a lowly paper boy. Our happy little couple never gets any sleep though, because their son Tyson keeps waking them up.

WOLFPACK AND BOUDICCA
Boo and Wolfie have hired a babysitter so they can spend the day training

Wolfpack and Boo's son isn't exactly what you would call a cute baby. Boo leaves Wolfie with Kevin so she can head off and play some chess. Boo also happens to really like singing badly in the shower.

TRENT & PYRETTA
Trent's been fired from the police force, must be his affiliation with the known criminal Pyretta D'Oreb. While Trent looks for another job, Pyr heads off to the gym to work out.

ARCUEID BRUNESTAD
Arcueid's been following the latest baby bump trend, and guess who the father is? Mad Gatsu XD But for an ambitious Sim like Arcuied, this whole motherhood thing is only holding her back. So early that morning she promptly gives birth to little baby Tyson.

MAD GATSU
Mad is overjoyed at the news he has a baby boy. Mad uses the library computer to submit a few freelance articles, then manages to completely trash the library's computer. That night, he and Arcueid had a quiet wedding ceremony and then Arcuied and their son move in.

WOLFPACK AND BOUDICCA
Yet another Raven baby has been spawned in Transimvania: a little boy called Kevil. To celebrate, Boo serves up some some extra dark and crunchy waffles.

New neighbourhood, and she is the first one in it. The place is like a ghost town. She chooses to spend her day hanging out at the local library.

KARINA 'BUNNY' NEX
The Bunny chooses to move in across the road. When she finds out that her job requires her to do a bit of gardening, she chooses to spend what few coins she has on a gardening class instead of going out and finding seeds to plant in her backyard. She attends the glass and is given a handful of seeds. She is informed that she must plant the seeds out in her own backyard and grow them so that she may consolidate her gardening skills. Consequently, she discovers that she actually likes gardening, as she has a chance to spend some time outside.

MORIHA OF ERIE
The next to movie in is Moriha, who gets a place right next to the Bunny. She begins a career in politics, then goes to the library to read up on Sim political history in preparation for her new job.

MODRON
Modron finds a place around that looks like a bit of a fixer upper, but it will do. Bored, with very little money to spend, she chooses to spend the day hanging out at the local cemetery, of all places to go. She then nearly gets a second trip to the cemetery in a wooden box after causing a fire in her kitchen.

ARCUEID BRUNESTAD
Arcuied moves into a house in a new street in town. She loves her new place, and keeps clapping her hands together at everything she sees. She chooses to spend the day painting and settling into her new house. She really is being very messy though. There are dirst plates and empty chip packets from one end of the house to the other.

MAD GATSU
Mad moves into a place in the same street as Arcueid. Mad spend all his money on his lovely new place only to discover that it was unfurnished. The idea of sleeping on the floor has Mad feeling very excited. He manages to scrape enough coins together and purchases a cheap bed to sleep on. He seems to know a lot of people, as he spends a lot of time talking on his mobile. He's not getting a lot of sleep though. He keeps waking himself up and yelling at himself.

WOLFPACK AND BOUDICCA
Boo and Wolfie are another household of Ravens with no furniture in their house and no money to rectify the situation. Wolfie runs across the road and pinches Mad's newspaper and gets himself a job in the military. Boo meantime has found a newspaper on their own front door step and has chosen to get a job in medicine. No sooner have they found jobs then neighbours show up and welcome them to town. After a quick talk, Wolfie races off to work out at the gym, and Boo to a nearbye park to practice her chess strategy.

TRENT AND PYRETTA D'OREB
Trent and Pyr move in across from Boo and Wolfie into a cool modern house that is surrounded by a lake and small waterfall and has its own swimming pool.

TRANSIMVANIA NEIGHBOURHOOD FILE CORRUPT!!!!!

2009-11-03T03:12:00.000-08:00

The Transimvania Neighbourhood file has recently become corrupted. It occurred while I was playing Arcueid's lot and similar lots started following suit. I'm going to try erasing and starting again, and seeing if that solves the problem.

SERIES 2: Enter the Bunny

2009-11-03T01:30:00.000-08:00

IMMORTELLE
Imm's been doing really well. She's been working as an Anonymous Source Handler for the Press. Imm met Trent in the park. They did not get on at all, and ended up fighting.

MORIHA
Moriha still spends more time tending her garden than what she does caring for her child.

MODRON
Still no sign of children. I'm beginning to question this Raven's fertility. That leaky pipe in the bathroom is really starting to annoy her.

ARCUEID BRUNESTAD
Arcueid's been feeling alittle restless. She's sick of being a band manager. She dreams of loftier heights.

THE BUNNY
Introducing Karina 'Bunny' Nex. More commonly known as The Bunny. Why? I have no frigging idea. She had a Sim in the origional Transimvania, but her Sim became a ghost instead of remaining a vampire..

She's moved into a cute little cottage. She isn't exactly a fan of places full of pink fluffy, frilly but the pickings as far as accomodation goes in Transimvania are pretty slim at the moment. She's chosen to pursue a career in law enforcement.

MAD GATSO
Mad's gotten a little lazy amidst all this decadent opulence. Despite having access to the best quality equipment money can buy, and associating with the very cream of society, he has failed to progress further in his chosen career.

WOLFPACK AND BOUDICCA
Wolfie's got himself a really cool steampunk style telescope, and he just will not leave it alone for one minute. He even managed to find a small White Dwarf using it. Maybe this new preoccupation will mean Boo gets a break from baring chillun's.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Trent has been moving up in the ranks. He's now a Lieutenant in the police force. He's even got the cool police cruiser parked out the front. The same cannot be said for Pyretta however, who is still only an entry level crim

Pyretta chooses to rectify the situation by spending her morning working out at the gym. She pinches her husbands police cruiser to acheive this end.

Pyretta also is in the habit of getting arrested, and spends half her time at the police station. Not a very profitable habit, let me tell you.

SERIES 2: Little Terrors

2009-10-24T02:36:00.000-07:00

IMMORTELLE
Not much has changed in Imm's life, aside from getting a little older. Imm still spends most of her time writing. Its been a case of S.S.D.D however.

MORIHA
Trent's come over to visit.

She's been doing okay, though. She is working as a Lab Tech now.

She tries her hand at fixing a computer, spends half the night doing it, and somehow manages to get it working again.

MODROn
Still no babby for Modron, a truly miraculous achievement given the Raven birthrate. Her career has gone stagnant, and she is feeling a little stir crazy. She managed to make an absolute fool of herself out the front of work and ended up preoccupied with the embarrassment throughout her work shift.

ARCUEID BRUNESTAD
Arcueid left Sherman outside overnight! At least her music careers a little better than her career in parenthood, that's got to be something, right? Arcuid is a shocking mother however, her little one is always crying about something she has neglected to tend to.

MAD GATSO
Mad's career is starting to pick up. He's even getting a chance to interview people -- although it means that he is always working overtime, arrives home buggered, and never gets to have any fun any more.

DUTCH WOLFPACK & BOUDICCA
Dutch and Boo have had another baby. This time a little boy called Loren. The house is now only just big enough to cope with the growing familyy. Boudicca is run off her feet looking after the rowdy little terrors. Boo's been hanging out for some pampering at the day spa.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
It seems Pyr has gotten her own back on Trent for sleeping through the birth of their first child, as Trent is now the one that has to care for it in the middle of the night.

SERIES 2: Breeding Like Rabbits

2009-10-15T07:49:00.000-07:00

IMMORTELLE
Imm's another Raven with a little one. The newborn babe is called Andres. No idea who the father is though, or even where is for that matter. The whole situation hasn't exactly thrilled Immortelle much, as she absolutely hates children.

MORIHA
Moriha is also the mother of a little boy called Simon. With all the guys around the place that she has been seeing, this news is certainly no surprise. However, once again, there is no way of telling who the father is. These Raven women certainly are a fertile and productive bunch. Moriha still manages to find time to garden though. For some reason, Moriha is still in her dressing down even after a bath

MODRON
So far it seems Modron has managed to avoid getting pregnant. Half way to work Modron forgot where she was supposed to be going, and ended up spending half the day wandering aimlessly around Transimvania

ARCUIED BRUNESTAD
Arcueid's another Raven woman who has fallen prey to the motherhood bug. A little boy called Sherman, and once again there is a mystery father. Could we be witnessing a 'Witches of Eastwick' scenario playing out here? Arcueid feels like she has been stuck in a rut. She's been working as a stagehand for what feels like an eternity, and it doesn't look like that is going to change any time to soon.

MAD GATSU
Meanwhile, life certainly is easier when you live in a big house, but it certainly doesn't seem to improve his chances at promotion much. And he still has to cook his own meals.

But with all his imaginary friends to talk to, Mad is never lonely.

WOLFPACK AND BOUDICCA

Arcuied has a thing for Wolfie. She has started following him everywhere. Wolfie's finally landed a promotion. Not much, but its a start. He's also managed to procure a stereo from somewhere. Can't use it though, as there is currantly a ban on the usage of them in Transimvania. Something about the stereos putting too much of a strain on the power grid.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Pyr had been meandering around Transimvania with a nice big baby belly. But upon waking up the next morning, of when I was playing the household, Pyretta had to race off to the hospital. Alone. Trent just ran around the bedroom panicking for about a minute or so, and then went back to bed. When Pyr cam back, she was carrying little baby Ethan.

2009-10-13T05:58:00.001-07:00

IMMORTELLE
Another morning, another plate of charcoal for breakfast. Imm has to steal herself to even consider consuming the stuff. She spends the rest of the morning refining her writing skills. She really really really wants that promotion.

MORIHA OF ERIE
Moriha's popular with all the guys. She really likes non fiction books. Her bookshelf is full of them, and she always has at least five on her at any given time.

MODRON
Modron's finally found out where all the water was coming from in the batroom. Or has she?

ARCUEID BRUNESTAD
Arcueid has been working as a stage hand, but she is desperate for a better position. Unfortunately she hardly gets time to practice.

MAD GATSU
Mads all excited, as he has been making lots of freinds. He even has a girlfriend who has recently given birth to a little girl called Rae. This new makes him very happy. He can't wait to meet his daughter. He even managed to get a promotion today.

He's also decided to move in with his girlfriend, who just happens to live in one of the largest mansions in Transimvania,

WOLFPACK AND BOUDICCA
Mad isn't the only Raven with a daughter. Dutch and Boo have one called Ingrid. But all this staying home and looking after the little one stuff is making Boo more than a little stir crazy.

Finally she couldn't take it any longer, and early thenext morning, guitar in hand, she took off to the park leaving Wolfie to care for Ingrid (for once in his life)

Mad's girlfriend Dena, and Arcuied stop by to listen to Boo playing

After her musical stint at the part, Boo stops by the local cafe for a bite to eat, and rips into a tasty cobbler, before heading home to see how Wolfie is getting on with Ingrid.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
Pyr's out of jail. They even managed to do up the shitty little shack and give it a bit of class. Pyr is ecstatic over her homes new make over, but when Trent walks in the room, she only has eyes for him (nauseous folks? :P ) But then Pyr then trys to burn her pretty little home down by setting fire to the kitchen. What is it with Ravens and bad cooking?

SERIES 2: Of Careers and Passing Time

2009-10-06T16:43:00.000-07:00

Moriha of Eriee
Moriha spends yet another day in her garden, watering, tending and harvesting produce (apples, grapes and lettuce).

Modron
Modron's been doing really well with her music career and is now a music talent scout. She still hasn't fixed the leak in the bathroom.

Arcueid Brunestad
Arcueid's music career on the other hand has not been as promising. Even though she has an awesome wicked guitar and everything. Her cooking hasn't improved for that matter either. She's still munching down plates of charcoal.

Mad Gatsu
Mad's been pinching Moriha's apples from her apple tree. After work, Mad spends the rest of his time refining his writing skills.

Boudicca and Dutch
Wolfie likes to chill out down the beach with a drink at night. Having consumed copious amounts of liquid Wolfie returns to find out that his dear wife has been stuffing her face. Next morning he wakes up grumpy (granted some mornings he wakes up Sleepy or Doc - but that's another story)

Trent and Pyretta
These two have made some um - curious career moves. Trent works for the cops, and Pyr is a crook.

Trents heads to the park for a game of chess.

SERIES 2: Bigger, Better, Longer

2009-09-28T03:16:00.000-07:00

Moriha of Eriee
Moriha manages to find a place in town still with all its furnishings and got a job in the Science facility. She's found this strange looking garden gnome out the front of her house. She responds to this discovery by giving the gnome a good solid kicking. Moriha actually likes to garden. She likes gardening so much that she spent her whole day setting up a massive vegie patch.

Modron
There is something in Modron's new home that keeps leaking everywhere in the bath room.

Modron may be a gifted guitar player, but she cannot cook to save herself. And she doesn't quite seem to grasp the concept of modesty either

Modron, in the wake of her previous appalling attempt at using the stove to cook elects to make herself a nice garden salad instead. Surely she won't be able to botch that one up

Arcueid Brunestad
Arcueid's another Raven that can't cook. She's also another muso wannabe. She and Modron would get along famously. She has a better looking guitar at least. All shiny with leopard print.

For a sane sim, Arcueid is mighty loopy.

Mad Gatso.
Mad has decided to try his hand at journalism. He even gets a computer so that he can submit freelance stuff.

Dutch and Boo
Dutch spends his first day in Transimvania relaxing in the park with a game of chess.

Trent and Pyretta
Pyretta likes the new furniture. Could it be because this place is so shitty? Trent is the worst cook in Transimvania, when he burns food, he doesn't just do the food, he burns the whole kitchen. Pyretta happens to find this hilarious. Not only does he burn the kitchen down, but he then proceeds to wreck everything else inside the kitchen as well. Even the kitchen sink, so now there is soot and water everywhere.

With Imm now one of the dearly departed, we shall now begin following the lives of her two children Marcel and Solanine.

For some reason, whenever I go to play Marcel and Solanine's household, Boudicca's there.

Shante comes over to visits and immediately sets about insulting her parents.

Jamal has purple hair. Wierd.

Mad Gatsu
Mad is another Transimvanian who is now in his twilight years. Playing sports these days is a little more strenuous than what he remembered.

This is a bit of a two weeker this time round. Sorry guys, forgot to take pics :(.

1ST WEEK

Immortelle
Boo's been wandering around Imm's house with a teddy. Don't ask me why. Imm's eldest, Marcel, has reached adulthood. She's 90 days old now.

Duke and Modron
Mod's joined the army, finally. Duke is still content to pinch stereos. Modron's put on a few pounds recently and so she has been busy working out in an attempt to get rid of it all.

Arcueid
Arcueid's not a very good mother. She's let her little toddler sleep on the floor while she paints pictures. Yes, you read that one correctly. Arcueid has also had another daughter: Tanisha, her grumpy little genius. Arcueid is also once again pregnant.

Mad Gatsu
Mad has a girlfriend. A townie by the name of Jenna McKenzie. They have a little daughter together called Sharla. He hasn't married her or asked her to move in or anything. In fact

He is also a great one for telling of and yelling at inanimate objects.

Boo & Wolfie
It looks like Dutch and Boo have been very busy as Boo is pregnant again.

Wolfie starts his day on a high by donating a thousand simoleans to child welfare. Because of this charitable action, he ends up promoted at work. Solanine has wandered off with Dutch's guitar

Week 2
Arcuied
Arcuied and her husband have matured into old age, and their eldest daughter is now a young adult. They also have a son called Jamal

With the family growing larger, they discover that they need to move out of their little house on the seaside into a much bigger, newly built 4 bedroom house in the hills

Arcuied is always sleeping these days, even when she isn't tired.

Mad Gatsu
Mad has a son and a daughter that have never met. He dearly wants to meet his son Norris and snuggle him. Also it looks like another Raven has grown into old age.

Boo & Dutch
And its another son for the Wolfpack clan: a heavy sleeping recluse by the name of Rasheed.

With his kid brother sharing the room with him, Humbert ever gets any sleep

Humberto left the kitchen in a mess. Therew as burnt food left on the stove, piles of unwashed plates, benches that need cleaning. A filthy sink. Boo is beside herself. Doesn't seem to bother Dutch though. He seems quite happy about it.

Someone's blocked the toilet and now Boo won't go near the bathroom until someone sorts it out for her.

Trent & Pyretta

In the D'Oreb household, working out is a family activity.

SERIES 1: Another Bun In The Oven . . . .

2009-09-07T04:46:00.000-07:00

Immortelle
Solanine has grown into adolescence and is now artistic . . . or is that autistic :P

Imm's been going a little stir crazy. She's sick to death of being stuck inside the house. She remedies this by going to the local art gallery for a little inspiration for the story she has beenwriting, which she resumes writing again once she gets back from the gallery.

Duke & Modron
Duke and Modron are now married, with Moddy finally joing the rest of the Raven women by having a child called Araidia. Duke is elated at the little one's arrival. Araidia is an athletic little thing, but perhaps a little absent minded.

Arcuied
Arcuied and her famila have moved to a little cottage by the sea. It doesn't have as many rooms to it b ut its much nicer than the old one. Little Shante has developed a loner trait, but she certainly does resemble her mum in many ways.

Arcuied joined the rest of the Ravens who are currantly all hanging out at the gym.

Mad Gatsu
And now the only currently single member of the first Series of Reign of the Sims 3. He's been doing really well and is now playing major league baseball.

Boo & Wolfie
Not much has really changed amongst the Wolfpack clan.

Trent and Pyretta
Trent's gone up in the world. Diego has turned out to be a bit of light sleeper. Could it be because of his mother's moodiness and father's hot headedness?

Pyr's been trying to get promoted though by opting to work overtime all the time.

SERIES 1: Passing time and Time Passing

2009-09-02T01:03:00.000-07:00

Two weeks in one post here guys.

Immortelle
When we had left Immortelle she was struggling witht he ubringing of two babies. Since then, Marcel has become an absent minded, outdoor loving coward of a child and little Solanine is a friendly little genius. Imm still hasn't advanced very far in her chosen career path, the little ones kieep her too busy for such things.

Duke
Duke's been getting very friendly with Modron

Arcuied
Arcuied's started flirting with her new accomplice, Duke. And how do you think Duke responds to this? Kick over her rubbish bin of course. 'Cos he is teh ebil.

Modron
Modron's getting quite good at playing guitar and has a veritable bevvy of charming suitors pursuing her. Even Duke is in on the action.

Mad Gatsu
Mad's got a new job in the sports career and doesn't he love it. SO much so that he's been climbing up the ranks.

Humberto has recently grown into childhood and has developed a streak of inappropriateness.

Uh oh! Dutch's set fire to the stove. He manages to put out the fire, but the stove is damaged so badly that they will need to buy a new one

Boo really wants a promotion, so she's been busy training. She spent the whole afternoon working out. She'll feel that in the morning.

Trent & Pyr
No little'un yet. Yet being the important word here, as Pyr has been feeling a little sickly of late. Trent is, of course, fiendishly delighted by his wife's discomfort, and laughs evilly quite frequently.

WEEK 2
Immortelle
Imm'll be out of the first series before the others as she was introduced to the game as an adult not young adult like the others were. She is currantly a retired elder.

Marcel is now in high school and has developed into an absent minded, frugal coward who loves the outdoors. Solanine has become a bit technophobic.

Imm's family has been hanging out with the Wolfpack clan a bit, and she's been writing a Sci Fi novel.

Duke
Duke's managed to acquire a few enemies and even more stereos. He seems to quite enjoy being a theiving little bastard :P

Arcuied
Arcuied has a little daughter called Shante. She is insane, grumpy and artistic.

Her husband likes to play with dolls, and is not a particularly good cook either.

Modron
Despite having no less than two guys on the go, both of which she apparently sees quite frequently, she miraculously has avoided getting pregnant.

Mad Gatsu
Mad likes to work out in his bathers

Dutch and Boo
Humberto is now a teenager, and a vegetarian at that.

Boo loves hearing whatever goss Humberto comes home from school with.

Wolfie decided to join an eating contest at the local diner after work. Didn't do till well, though.

Trent & Pyretta
Trent and Pyr have had a little one called Diego. He's a brave artistic little fella.

Trent has been contentedly working as a filing clerk, whereas Pyr works behind the desk at the local police station, although she has been allowed time off to care for Diego. For some reason, she is completely preoccupied with the whole notion of woohoo (sex).

With Pyr feeling all horny and such, Trent makes an attempt to remedy the situation. Being married with kids leaves room for too few opportunities for such activities, you understand. However, Pyr is now feeling too cranky for woohoo.

SERIES 1: Smooth Criminals

2009-08-30T05:49:00.001-07:00

For some reason, just about every Raven in the neighbourhood has chosen to live a life of crime. Arcuied even managed to get thrown in jail.

After the first week

Immortelle
Imms had a little boy called Marcel by a member of the wealthy and famous Goth family (Mortimer is Marcel's half brother). Bue she's gone stir crazy from being stuck at home all the time and is feeling a little betrayed becaus the father of her child doesn't pat her any attention any more. She is also pregnant with another child. All these kids are a bad thing because she happens to absolutely hate children.

Mean while, she's found out that Boudicca is her boss.

Duke
Duke has been faring a little better and seems to like sleeping in bed in his tracksuit. But he hasn't been feeling all that well

Arcuied
She finally got out of jail and married another Sim (none other than Mortimer Goth, Immortelle's son's half brother). Arcuied is also feeling a little sick for some reason. Could it possibly be be cause she has a little bun in the oven? But she seems to be faring a little better than poor Imm has been. Apart from the fact that her back hurts like there is no tomorrow.

Modrom
Modron's one of the few Raven women who have so far managed to avoid getting espoused and or impregnated. Duke is her partner in crime however, so there is still the potential for romance to blossom there. She's still only working as a decoy though. The mail man seems to like tossing her envelopes everywhere.

Mad Gatsu
Mad likes to work out in his formal suite. I suppose he likes to look good while he is getting hot and sweaty :P He spent the whole day at the stadium, working out, doing his job and working over time.

Wolfie & Boo
When they first arrived at their freshly built home it was night time, and all they wanted to do was read, despite the incredible night time vista they had right outside there window

However by the morning, they woke up and realised just how lucky they were to be living in such a beautiful location.

A week later, they are blessed again with the birth of little Humberto. Their little one is easily impressed and very friendly. And even Humberto is in awe of the beautiful surroundings of his home.

Wolfie likes taking walks to the cemetary late at night, and spying on the neighbours using his telescope when he comes home from work.

Trent and Pyretta
Trent has managed to procure a fancy new laptop computer from somewhere.

An introduction

2009-08-30T05:30:00.000-07:00

For outsiders coming to this site, this is a Sims 3/ Reign of Blood blog. If you don't know what Reign of Blood is, GI may actually get around to putting a link on the site to there one of these day, for now just Google It. The characters are based on people who are in Shadow of the Raven, which is the Reign of Blood (RoB) coven that I am in. There is another Sims 2 Site similar to this one that also follows the Raven Covens antics in Transimvania.

If a Coven member leaves to join another coven, their Sim is removed from Transimvania. If they return, there Sim is returned to the game to continue on with whatever shennanigans they were up to last time around.

Unlike Sims 1 and 2, time elapses a little differently. In the first two versions of the Sims, each household had its own timeframe. This is because essentially each household was stuck to living in their own little house, and if you wanted to talk to another Sim you had to call them up on the phone. In Sims 3, the household that you play has the run of the entire neighbourhood, and time elapses the same for one Sim to another. However, you still can only play one household at a time. To compensate for this, I play the game one household at a time, for 24 hours. This means that each Raven gets an equal amount of play, and and equal amount of non play. When the household is not being played, those Sims continue to live their little lives, meaning that when you go to play them next, all sorts of things could have happened to them.

The stories you will see will run in series, with the series ending when the last of the Sims dies. After that, there will be a new series, sometimes introducing new Sims to the story, sometimes minus a sim. Sometimes, I will choose to update the appearance of the sims, as I get CC into game (to date, I have not been able to get Custom Content working).

In Series 1 we have Immortelle, which is my Sim, Duke Danse Macambre, Arcuied Brunestad, Modron, Mad Gatsu, Dutch Wolfpack, Boudicca, Trent D'Oreb and Pyretta D'Oreb. (Lady Wolf, hopefully will be showing up in Transimvania soon, but for this series that is it. The rest of the mob will have to wait till the second series)
