The Beverages: Settled??

Seriously, because I am getting bored with my challenge, I have downloaded the fellowship prosperity neighborhood. I am really ticked because it got to 96% and then my computer froze, so it's back to 45%. sigh. Anyway, I will still post as often as possible.

Told from Sprites point of view for 3 days.
Being the family sim that I am, my favorite part of the day is watching TV with Cola and Soda. We surprisingly get along better than most siblings.You probably heard from Cola that Mom is very into romancing. She bought a love tub. Yeah, lame and all but if it makes her happy...It obviously makes Malcom Landgraab happy. Who seriously wears a spedo and talks about woohoo and kissing all the time??? Well, once again, if he makes mom happy...At least he is better than the repair guy!!Here is all of us but mom going off to work after school. Cola is a Team Mascot, Soda is at the bottom of the Athletic career, and I am the Executive Assistant at Sim Tech! Me and Cola are both over achievers!
The joys of being a teen, acne. Thank goodness for acne cream!! Cola has been acting funny lately...
She spends a lot of time checking herself out in the mirror.
The other night she started talking to mom about love!! Cola who hates mom's romancing, talking with her about love!?!?
I casually changed the conversation.

But then, when watching TV Cola started talking about kissing. I am really surprised. Well it's better than her being all mopey and angry and stuff. I think we are kind of starting to settle in in Prosperity Hills.

FUNNY PIC

Oh gross! Cherry is attracted to, herself!!! That's weird, even for a romance sim!

Next up, Jasmine, Cola and Sprite move in to Sim State!!!

The Johnson's: A Happy Family

OK, the Johnson's have been a little bit boring, but here they are anyways. The pic above is all the flower arangements Marisa has made, she has a gold badge. Maybe she will start a flower shop, not for a while though.

Told from Marisa's point of view for 3 days: Hello! Here's what's been happening...Beth finished her painting of me! She is such a sweet girl, not like a daughter but more like a close friend or sister or something.She's perfect, good grades, paints, helps around the house and makes friends! I spend my down time cleaning the house. James doesn't have the time and I fear that if Beth takes on anything else she will break down.So, I get to do all the dirty jobs!*sigh*And, yep morning sickness! Another kid! I am definately not a family sim. I would much rather work than raise kids but it's too late now!To try to cheer me up after I figured out I was pregnant, Beth showed me her grades (how thoughtful??).(note from the queenofsimtopia: Beth is so my favourite sim! Isn't this pic the cutest!)Beth loves Arie and is a lot of help.I can't imagine how I would get on without her!Beth did the honours at Arie's 2nd birthday. (note from the queenofsimtopia: AHHH, that nose will be the death of me, where is my plastic surgery kit?)Arie is quite the little handful! Though thanks to smart milk, she learns very fast.
(note from the queenofsimtopia: I have no idea why, but some of the pics are smaller than others, the picture setting is on medium, but it obviously is a little bit screwed up, oh well!) James taught Arie her first word, teddy.
James loves the smart milk, he even admits to dreaming about it.Once again, Beth comes to the rescue and potty trains the rug rat.AWWWWW (note from the queenofsimtopia: notice how there are no pics of Marisa with Arie, she seriously did nothing. Beth did everything except for talking which her dad took over) Sometimes I regret my pregnancies. If I want to become a Criminal Mastermind I will need to devote lots of time to my career, not my kids! (note from the queenofsimtopia: This family is so lovey dovey it sickens me! Except for Beth of course...) With his continuous job promotions, James spends lots of time making friends. I wish I was at my job right now...

RANDOM PIC

OOOO, not a bad looking guy (I sense a future spouse!)

Anyway, I have two more entries on the way, I play faster than I type. Be prepared for my least favorite family, THE BEVERAGES, next time in Prosperity Hills ;)

Does anyone know how to take a pic in the neighborhood screen showing, the family and the house. Sorry if that's not specific enough...

The Disney Family: Nala's Scheme

Once again, I will start out with one of my glitches. After washing some dishes the sink is permanently bubbling! Anyway, told from Nala's point of view for 4 days: Hi everybody who is dumb enough to be listening to this. After listening to my husband you guys must be really pathetic to come back for more. Well, here it is...To start off, Jasmine left us for college, Sim State actually. A respectable college, though definately not the one I went to! (note: Nala didn't actually go to college but for storyline purposes she 'did'). Anyway, she didn't even look back, not that I blame her. I was disappointed when Jasmine ended up being a popularity obsessed person, but she still loves science and hates messes. Our family and current house are a mess so it makes sense that she would be eager to leave.I have made an effort to be more open with John. Life is not the way I want it right now so I decided to discuss my feelings with John. I said that I feel like I am living in a cage. He seemed to understand and thank goodness is trying to be less of a "family guy".(note from the queenofsimtopia: John has 2 or 3 lightning bolts for Tia Curtis, and multiple neighbours appear to be interested in John. Good thing Nala didn't know...)Poor Lilo had her doll house crushed. We never caught the culprit but Lilo got over it quite quickly, she's growing up so fast.John and I have been getting a little more intimate (note from the queenofsimtopia: I laughed watching the children flee in the background!!!) I suppose I do love him...He's a real Mr. Maid anyway.And he has started waking up early to set up the shop as I told him I didn't have time or interest to spend working the shop. Whoops! I didn't quite realize Donald was there.I am quite proud of Donald's accomplishments and interest in logical studies. Lilo is not quite up to standards and chooses to spend long hours playing in her pajamas. Something will have to be done...I began to get sick. Something told me I was pregnant. I refused to believe it, what a sick joke! Since Jazzy's left, Lilo appears to be making an effort to keep our phone bill up. My assumptions were correct and I ended up being pregnant. John and Lilo are very exited, Donald seems to not care, Jasmine is indifferent and I am devestated. I hate pregnancy! It is so unstructured. I have to get up at all hours to relieve my bladder or fill my stomach. I hate it! I wish that John would get himself pregnant instead of me so he could experience the "wonders of pregnancy"!!
Ha ha ha! I love watching John get the cash register in the gut! Now he knows why I hate his little shop!
Because I was on maternity leave I pitched in now and again as we gained more and more customers.Business truely is booming and John appears to be quite happy. I enjoy seeing him get flustered every once and a while, proves he is human. We had a misshap at the shop, long lines caused a girl to leave and throw her bags about. John is talking about employing the kids as cashiers!!! I refuse to let him do any such thing.Donald gets along well with a girl named Marsha. I don't think any harm will come from their relationship. He continues to keep good grades even with the distraction.I have also began teaching Lilo how to study properly. We are making progress though Lilo absolutely hates the work.I caught Lilo and her friend Chloe playing a horrific game. I put a stop to it immediately. Who seriously plays Punch -u - punch - me???My kids are growing up!! Here's Donald, with a whole pile of neighbours.Ahem, lets just say John picked out Donald's clothes! Donald Disney: knowledge sim, lifetime want is to become a mad scientist, turned on by make-up and formal, turned off by fatness.Now for little Lilo who is of course in her pyjamas!(note from the queenofsimtopia: Doesn't the neighbour girl look surprised! Probably because lilo is in her PJs.) Lilo Disney: wealth sim, lifetime want is to own 5 top level businesses!!!! AAAHHH, turned on by fitness and formal, turned off by fatness.Lilo misses her sister a lot. But she told me she doesn't want to go to college with her. She actually doesn't want to go at all! I know that John has something to do with her rebellious nature!!Look at what she did! The other day she came home with a mohawk, black lipstick and this punk outfit! I am embaressed to admit she is my child! She refuses to listen to me and do something about her appearence. She likes looking like a punk! I went into labour before school one morning. John was in the shower and didn't even hear the racket. The poor kids nearly passed out!Meet Jane Disney! I have a plan! John will want to ruin little Jane and make her a complete failure in life, but I won't let him! I will raise Jane with the understanding of how science, technology and logic have achieved so much in our world. I will finally have a daughter to be proud of!!! Oh, and here is the new house. We now have bedrooms (and only 18 simeleons, no exaggeration!).

FUNNY PIC

Boy Donald! I know you have a dagger on your shirt and everything, but don't take it out on the TV!

Important events: Jasmine goes to college, Donald and Lilo become teens, Jane is born.

In case you are wondering John is from Pocahontas, Nala is from the Lion King, Donald is from Mickey Mouse, Lilo is form Lilo and Stitch, and Jane is from Tarzaan.
