Let's Get Simbling!

Feeling conflicted, are we?

Does anyone know how to get the flow of time running normally again on a lot? On speed 1, it takes 2-3 seconds for 1 sim minute to pass. Normally 1 sim min is 1 IRL second, right? I’ve noticed this only happens on lots I’ve built myself, not downloaded.

A Story in Three Pictures

Summerdream Family

The Summerdreams! This family grows on me each time I open the lot (another @katatty makeover). Titania and Oberon recently got engaged. I decided to have Puck and Bottom be their biological children because I really wanted them to reproduce. I mean, look at them! Disappointingly, Oberon doesn’t have pointy ears, and I’m pretty sure Puck doesn’t have them either, but Bottom does!

Capp (3) Family

Regan and Cornwall live in a smallish house on a huge lot with his parents, Hamlet and Tobea. Their little son Lear is so far a good mix of the two, but because of him, Uncle Kent couldn’t move it. Regan is not at all fond of her older sisters (she was so prickly as a kid), but she does have a soft spot for her little brother. But no space.

Monty (2) Family

The last Monty branch is Antonio’s. He and Hero lived together for a long time before getting married, because I wanted the BG Veronaville kids to be somewhat the same ages. For some reason, even though Hero’s dad was a Celebrity Chef, he couldn’t make cheesecake for her, so Beatrice was born first, and hero is currently pregnant with Benedick.

Capp (2) Family

Here’s Goneril’s branch of the family, and they’re one of my favourites in this hood. I’m kinda glad She and Albany need 4 kids, because I love both their faces. Goneril is a freaking queen!

Boarding House

So, Kent Capp moved into the boarding house after college instead of with his sister Regan. Her house doesn’t really have enough room to fit him with her in-laws still being alive and having a newborn. The boarding house is the alternative to having my sims live alone, because that’s just too boring.

The boarding house has a few career rewards and Kent just couldn’t resist calling the Grim Reaper. That’s how Bardolph (a distant Monty cousin) became my game’s first zombie!

Monty (3) Family

So, in my Veronaville, Bianca has plenty of love interest choices, and doesn’t have to settle for the most closeted, contentious choice Base Game Veronaville has to offer. She married Warwick Norman, cousin to Albany Capp, and they have adorable twins named Emilia and Iago. 

Monty Family

I decided to spare you the extensive spare families, as the family trees are so convoluted, and pretty much everyone is marrying their second cousins now... so let’s just jump to the main Monty Family.

I love that the boys are redheads! Also, Mercutio rolled gay. Here’s hoping Tybalt grows up to be bi or gay too (fingers crossed!). Also, I’m not sure if I should try to force relationships from here on out, like pairing up Romeo with Juliet. Should I just let them choose the partners they like best, or get them together and see what happens?

Capp Family

So, I still play a lot, but definitely don’t post a lot. But I thought I should update you all on how my Beginning of... Veronaville is coming along. As you can tell, we are now at the point where all your favourite Veronaville sims are born/being born! It’s very exciting, and I’m proud of myself for making it to 5 generations of an entire hood!

Anyway, here’s the complete Capp family (see captions for a who’s who)! I’m pretty pleased with how the genetics were doled out here. Juliet and Hermia (both of whom aged up after I took the group picture) are redheads and the spitting image of their father. I’m kind of annoyed the kids don’t have more of their mother’s beautiful features, but I think Caliban’s features will translate well to female sims. Tybalt actually looks a lot like his Uncle Kent.
