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 . . . .
