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

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

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

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

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

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

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 :(

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.
Photobucket


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

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!!

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

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.
Photobucket


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.
Photobucket


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.

Saturday, May 29, 2010

SERIES 6: SETTLING IN . . . .

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.
Photobucket



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

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

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

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.

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.

SERIES 5: A Fresh Start

DUKE
When Duke first moved into Transimvania, it was like a ghost town. And he was going to be the law here, dammit! For some reason, as yet to be known, Duke just keeps on calling this lady called Dorothy.

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
The Bunny picked some prime real estate right next to the stadium and moved in. Ever the politically minded, she decided to get a job at city hall. The day goes pretty well for her. She goes to bed that night only to have her house broken into, and gets beaten up

MORIHA
Moriha found a lovely little cottage out of the way of the frantic hustle and husle, nestled between two cherry trees. She has discovered that she really likes fishing.

MAD GATSO
Mad has joined Moriha working at Transimvania hospital.

Mad flies off to Shang Sim La to learn some Martial Arts. He would have to be the craziest practicioner of Marcial Arts there is. he even got off the plan in his underwear. Once there, he began his study of the Way of the Resolute Fist. He returns home to the peace and quiet and scenic views of his homely little cottege.

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.

While Boo sits and reads and dreams about little bubs, Wolfie is out catching bugs.

At the end of the day, Boo and Wolfie meet at the stadium to what the Llamas play


ARCUIED BRUNESTAD
Arcuied moves in across the road and joins the police force. She spent the day just settling in and relaxing.

TRENT AND PYRETTA
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 . . . .

SERIES 4: Wandering Minds

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

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.

SERIES 4: The Case of the Harem

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.

Photobucket
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.

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

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

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.

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.
