Uberhood Pics (52) - Bell, Contrary, Delarosa, Greenman, O'Mackey, Ottomas, Roth & Shikibu

(Peter Larson, Jason Larson's husband, annoying Luis Aspir.) Here's a photo dump of random families from my last Uberhood round. Families where not that much happened. I took a few pics here and there but they were never enough to make a full post about each family only. I will add a short caption to explain what happened or rather what was the highlight of each session.

Opal Contrary teaching her second son, Leo, how to talk.

Florence selling flowers to a townie. (I also redecorated Florence's flower shop a little bit.) 💐

Someone breaking into the Greenman's house. 🙄

Daisy Greenman playing with her cat, Sunflower. 🐾

Harper O'Mackey (Gabe & Patricia O'Mackey's daughter) playing with Eric Larson. (Jason & Peter Larson's adopted son)

Sharla Ottomas & Gallagher Newson going steady. 💕

Stella Roth & Peter Ottomas continuing their affair.

Cleo Shikibu & Connor Weir getting closer to each other.

GOTHS ROTATION 6

B-...Bella...

Previously // Next

just to recap

Bella got caught flirting with the butler Eltanin Fuse. Obviously Christa did NOT take this well (wait until she finds out about the other 12)

Hsu, who at the moment is STILL Bella's fiancee, has to deal with this guy in her home daily because Bella pays the bills.

While she's busy losing her head about Mr Fuse, Bella is out collecting more lovers just outside the door. I don't think she's spent a single night alone since she moved into the containers.

After she met some of the Strangetown tourists, Craig, one of her former lovers, invited her on a romantic garden date. The two of them had a great night together and enjoyed some alone time before she had to head back home to her kid

The death was Christa Hsu, who sadly expired out on the pavement in front of the house, as the result of someone (random teen townie) pulling out a lightsaber and threatening her with it. In the good news: Lola married Ajay Loner and they are expecting their first green sprog. it seems Chloe has a major (3 bolt) crush on next-door neighbour General Grunt. Unfortunate because he’s now very happily married to Bella Goth.

21.06. is birthday of Faith Hsu. Girlfriend of Makoto Gonzaga. Ex-wife of Christa Hsu. And ex-wife Herbert Goodie.

She’s mother of five Vera, Susanna and Lily with PT, Chandler and Charlie with Christa.

Faith has knowledge/popularity aspiration and she want to become criminal mastermind. She is currently unemployed.

Happy Birthday, Faith!

A bit of music before work. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to make Jasmine actually drive the firetruck. :|

Goths Rotation 5

Bella had ONE JOB

Previously // Next

Short recap, Bella fell pregnant with Shea Johnsons daughter Donna. While pregnant she got engaged to one of her many affairs, Christa Hsu. with a fiance at home Bella has to be a bit more creative with how she gets her fill.

So she finds herself at the club a LOT. She found herself flirting with yet another married man Matthew. I'm not sure where it's going but it's going somewhere.

Meanwhile baby Donna is in her tots phase! She inherited her dad's looks apparently. Not sure how i feel about it

Back to Bella, she's getting really high up on the Business career (level 7) she's making enough money to afford certain luxuries, like a maid, butler and nanny. Unfortunately she loves a sim in uniform so staying faithful to Hsu was getting harder and harder.

She decided she didn't want to wait and tried her hand at a love potion to speed up the process, and while it did work, she was so focused on Eltanin she didn't notice Christa was already home from work

So of course Christa made her presence known. She was kicked out for the night while Christa cooled off but obviously Bella didn't quite learn her lesson. She decided to invite the butler

And it went really well

She spent the next couple days going on dates around the city, and didn't really pay any mind to what's going on at home. So she ended up missing her daughters birthday

Luckily Hsu was there to make it less lonely and made her day special. Even if she didn't get a cake and balloons she still had fun with her sorta step mum.

And that marks the end of the Goths rotation

Goths Rotation 3 + 4

BELLAAAA BELLA NOOOOO Previously // Next

This rotation was... eventful.

Bella got a lot of promotions this round. She went from a Mailroom Tech all the way to President of her company without much effort, which of course means every burglar in Strangetown is after her stuff.

Shes also been on her usual flirting campaign, and has yet to be caught thankfully. She's woohoo'd her 10th sim so shes half way through her Lifetime Wish.

Though the stakes are getting higher... I look away for like 10 seconds and--

Shes engaged!? To a Christa Hsu, one of her first dates. Christina also happens to be retired so she's home a LOT. And if that weren't hard enough she's also pregnant with some Shea Johnston's kid. God i hope the kid doesn't look like him he's like Goopy's uglier cousin

Anyway meet Donna Goth the first and hopefully last of the goth kids.

Thankfully Christa is not very smart so she didn't pick up on the fact the baby happened AFTER she and Bella got engaged, but it's only a matter of time...

Nothing like a desperate bladder need to bring out those latent powers of intangibility.

Jessie: I’ll bet she’s going to kiss him! 

Christa: I wonder what William thinks about that...?
