Hey Simmers -

So yesterday and today I played some more with the Goth family.  Bella had moved back into the family mansion, and right away had picked up her job where she’d left off – Bella was in the politics career, and as of now, a stateswoman.  I don’t know what that means.  She carpools with Cassandra to work, and Cassandra seems really thrilled.  They have an interesting connection – Bella still cries about Cassandra being left at the altar, and Cassandra is super friendly to her mom.  Cassandra returned from work that day wanting to adopt a kitten.  She calls the adoption agency right away (isn’t the sims great?) and they drop off a sweet little white kitten named Alegra.  Cassandra goes to greet the kitten, who’s happy to see her, but the kitten, without even meeting her (still at work) thinks about Bella all the time.  Cassandra looked disappointed, I wonder if I might want to create this “everyone loves Bella” storyline…

Dina Caliente is still pissed at Mortimer for “leaving” her for his wife.  Maxis had the game originally set up so that he’d marry her, he was in love with her and everything.  And that was my plan.  But the Bella showed up in-game.  Dina likes to kick over the garbage can, causing roaches.  The butler used to call the exterminator, but now that roaches are around pretty much all the time, he doesn’t ever call.  I don’t want a ton of memories of roaches, so I have to have someone watch the garbage can all the time.  But I rotate sims.

Mortimer seemed kinda sad that he didn’t have a little kitten too, so he adopted a little black kitten, Bonkers.  The name suggested seemed fitting for a guy like him, not sure why. 

Cassandra decided that she should treat herself (and with §511,000 in the bank, I don’t see why not) before attempting to settle down again.  Perhaps to try to find herself before making a family.  With that kind of money, “self exploration” means dining out, for one thing.  Cassandra got a ride over to a club-restaurant and had the chef chose her dinner (because I can’t see, for the life of me, what food it is she’s thinking about having.  The chef is psychic, however), and she feasted on some lavish spaghetti and meatballs.  This was a weird restaurant – I wish I took another picture – the host was an elderly man with a mohawk and the waiter, as you can see here, has some crazy assymmetrical cut.  She could hear thunder outside, and, like a normal person, figured it was just the weather.  When she walked outside however, she could just see the tail of a broom and an evil witch atop.  Ahead of her was the good witch, but I can’t remember her name.  Cassandra befriended her quickly, and for the next few days the good witch recieved called from Cassandra every day after work. 

After her fabulous dinner, Cassandra hiked over to a clothing boutique and bought half the store in new clothes.  Most of them mirrored her old image, but she enjoyed trying on all the clothes (even the ones she would never buy).

I’ll have to put a picture of Alexander into my next post – he’s aged to a teenager and taken the aspiration of Fortune.  This was the result of a dice roll, but when I thought about it after, I thought it suited him rather well.

Oh yeah, and Cassandra became a witch.

Ttyl,
