RBPV 5.0

Pleasantview now has a school. One that functions even. It still needs teachers, but since there has been 8 children born so far (with more on the way) and one position in Education is unlocked for every 5 children born I thought it was time they had a school. I am thinking I will come up with a few generic teachers who will probably not end up in the gene pool. Kind of like that one teacher you had who was older than dirt and had been there FOREVER, only these ones will have actually been there forever.



Last time the Harrell side of the equation finished up the week with a score of 24. It occurred to me that I hadn't actually shown proof of Alexander getting his gold Toy Making badge so I had him start off making a water wiggler.



A purple water wiggler, which also gave them enough inventory to open the store.



The store got some new displays mostly because Braden's robots are getting too damn big to fit more than one on them and I needed some sort of plan. Alexander's toys are equally huge and the plan is still in development so for now a couple of the items will have to go on the floor.



With the older boys out of the house, the younger ones will have to help out at the store. This is okay for Dominick, gets him started on earning his business badges right away. Darius was far more interested in one of the customers though.



I think they are going to make a cute couple.



Darius has been checking the computer every day since he aged up for a job in Politics. He had a temporary career in Education while he was waiting since Education is a career already unlocked.



Today was his lucky day!



First snow in the neighbourhood!



And Rosica is in labour.



Meet Wilford. Yes, ANOTHER boy.



Still snowing.



It looks pretty though.



Darius remains weird going outside in the snow in shorts.



Preston followed one of them home, I don't remember which one, and Darius took the opportunity to start a snowman army.



I wasn't kidding about the army.



Still weird. That light is behind you, Darius.



Preston! It is bad enough when you randomly nab members of the gene pool at your house. Stop doing it at the neighbour's as well!



Nooooooo! They can't grow more food in winter!

Speaking of winter. I went ahead and downloaded the season controller to set each season to last a full 7 days, otherwise every time I moved someone out they would start again in fall and then the seasons of my rotations would be all messed up. I want to keep the time of year consistent at least.



I do think I am going to move Preston in with Dominick once he has fulfilled his LTW. They get along really well and keep having random thoughts of each other. They aren't getting married, but they might as well be together.



Darius gets his first promotion! And food is still a problem. Someone, anyone, please roll farming!



The army grows (also, still not in outerwear).



Why can't you adopt the penguin? I have always wanted to adopt the penguin.



Just petting it is no where near as cool as adopting it would be.



The boys have a free day!



So Darius invited Bree over and they went on a date to the park. They made snow angels, had a snowball fight, he proposed, she accepted and then my dog flopped down under my desk on the surge protector and turned off my computer making it so absolutely NONE of that happened.

When I restarted I forgot to turn Fraps back on and .. have no pictures of the rest of the week which really kind of sucks cause just a few hours after this picture Rosica got pregnant again and when she gave birth on Saturday IT WAS A GIRL!!!!!!!!

Darius also got reengaged to Bree somewhere in there no where near as photogenically as they did the first time and moved out at the end of the week. Oh, and I have Fraps set to start up when my computer does now. We're good for pics from here on out.



Heading over to the newest Harrell household in the hood. Please note I said household not house, because this isn't one yet.



It has walls and a roof, but that is about it.



And is located directly across the street from the main Harrell house.



Alexander and Rosica cashed in some aspiration points and sent the boys off with a small grove of money trees .. and they are going to need them. They have a few days left before they can age up so for now they will just be focusing on school and earning badges.



To the point of ignoring the welcome wagon even.



Still working on the badges.



It isn't all work though.



Time to grow up!



Oh, no. No, no, nonono! Arron, we need to fix that hair.



I know it's bad, but not worth crying over. It could be worse, Isiah went crazy ....



... Okay, so you both did ... but we will fix the hair.



And then you can get married ... sadly we can't keep all the money Rebeka brought with her.



Also, I fail at lighting so have a silhouette of Arron and Rebeka getting married.



The house got an upgrade with what they could keep from Rebeka's funds.



And starting on the next generation already.



Rebeka rolled up unlocking a new career path and her LTW is to become city planner. This made me very happy. Once she reaches the top I can download doors and windows and wall coverings!



Baby bump in the bathroom.



Isiah has not yet recovered from his episode with the shrink and has taken to crying in his meals.



He keeps getting calls from various women. most of whom are in the gene pool and thus off limits. I might have to see if I can find him a random townie to go on a date with and get his aspiration up again ....

... Hold on a minute ...



No eyebrows. He has no eyebrows which in no way makes that skin look better. I am going to track that down and delete it one of these days!



After selling a few flower arrangements and some pottery they had enough to add some interior decorating.




Some horrible interior decorating, but I am using it as a reminder to make sure Rebeka checks the computer every day for Architect.



Soon, Isiah, I promise.



Arron has fun arranging flowers, which is good because he is doing it for about 12 hours a day at this point.



Isiah: I swear, this wallpaper isn't even fit for recycling.

With the founding of a new house adding +1 to the sim multiplier and 9 sims in play the Harrell's finish out the week with a score of 45! O.O these numbers are climbing fast now.
