Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 73 (Conrad Takes a Trip With Bella Goth)

After a brisk morning walk with Gord, Conrad checked the mailbox. The next newsletter from the Ambrosia Society had arrived, and he was more determined than ever to face his fears through the challenge.

Their life was changing - he was changing - and with Heather expecting again, there was no doubt in his mind the more arduous tasks in their quest for ambrosia would fall to him.

He'd really taken to cooking, and he headed inside to finish making breakfast after a quick shower.

"What do we need to do next?" Heather asked.

"It says this week we need to work on gourmet cooking. We basically need to cook so much food we'll have to give it away."

Heather shrugged. "We could do that."

"We're supposed to plant a bird of paradise, graft a lily cutting to one of our snapdragons, and you could catch an angelfish."

"I don't think we'll catch angelfish in water this cold."

They sat down to breakfast, enjoying their morning as a trio while Ash told a story about a few of his friends at daycare. "Arron brought a doll for show and tell and Mateo said he was a baby, but Arron said Mateo was a bigger baby. Then both cried like babies!"

As they finished eating, Conrad dressed again, interrupted by a knock at their door. He greeted Bella Goth outside with a smile.

"I saw the latest newsletter and Cassandra told me you and Heather's good news. I wanted to drop off a congratulatory gift, but then I had an idea about the task to catch an angelfish."

"Thanks, Mrs. Goth. We're really excited, but you didn't have to get us anything. We were just talking about how difficult it might be to find an angelfish this late in the fall."

"Here in Brindleton Bay, certainly. But I said I'd help you on your journey; I haven't been in ages, and I could take you both. I went when I was expecting Alexander, and everything went fine."

"Take us where?"

"There's a portal in Glimmerbrook that leads to the Magic Realm. It uses some of the same energy Heather used to travel to the Realm of the Dead, but you go yourself; there's no travelling with the mind on one plane and body on another. But there's a block called Casters Alley with shops for anything spellcasters might need. The ingredient shop sometimes stocks angelfish, and they'll sell to you even if you're not using it for any potions. The shopkeepers are all ghosts, but they're business-savvy, too. They won't say no to simoleons from anybody."

"Ghosts? What Magic Realm? I thought you said your paranormal exploration days were behind you."

"Yes, ghosts," said Bella with a smile. "I know you're nervous about the dead. It's been months since I offered to let you travel on my seance table and you haven't taken me up on it, but if you're going to get comfortable with this, I'm happy to show you the way. And I'm not really exploring at this point in my life. I won't try sparring with any spellcasters like when I was younger!"

Conrad glanced through the kitchen window where Heather was cleaning the dishes. "I haven't been avoiding it...exactly. We've been preoccupied by doctor's appointments and parenting classes, working on our skills for the challenge, working..."

"This is a good way to introduce you to more benevolent spirits, like Grimmie, to help you as you familiarize yourself with the paranormal. And the Magic Realm, well...to see it is the only way to believe it, and it will certainly help erase any lingering doubts that the paranormal is very real, and very strange. But it's safe there. Especially on Casters Alley. I've been countless times, and it will give you what you need to meet the society's challenge."

"When would we go?"

"We could leave today, if you can find someone to watch young Ash. There's a magic subway to Glimmerbrook and we'll probably be there and back before midnight, but I didn't take my kids to the Magic Realm until they were teenagers. A wandering toddler could fall off a...well, you'll see."

Conrad shook his head. "Heather doesn't need to put herself through any magic portals right now," he said. "She'll stay with Ash, and you can take me and Gord."

Bella smiled. "Bring a coat, it's a lot colder up in the Glimmer Mountains."

A short time later, he met Bella in warmer clothing on the square. "Where exactly do we catch this magic subway?"

"See the truss bridge over the waterfall across the square? It hides a staircase to the underground subway connecting everywhere in Simlandia to Glimmerbrook. The authorities tried to prevent sims from finding its magic and unleashing havoc with it, but they didn't cut off every road in. I can't say I blame them for trying to make it inaccessible - for a while magic was pretty out of control."

They headed to the bridge and Conrad followed Bella down a long stairwell to a dark tunnel lit by fluorescent lights. "I can't believe there's an entire subway under Brindleton Bay. No one at the station has ever mentioned this place."

"I doubt any of them know about it. Spellcasters in Glimmerbrook prefer not to deal with real world law enforcement."

The detective frowned. "Am I walking into a trap?"

"You're not going as a cop. You're going to learn everything you can about cooking ambrosia and to pick up some angelfish."

"...From ghosts." The train pulled up with a metal screech. Bewildered, Conrad followed Bella inside.

The cars were empty, apart from the two of them, and Bella chatted away with excitement. "Magic isn't outlawed in Simlandia, but magic in the wrong hands can be dangerous, so they make the tunnel hard to find. Some places have escalators, like San Myshuno. The high class need their comforts."

"You're certainly not low class, Mrs. Goth."

"I just know the value of good tailoring, really. I never fit in to my ex-husband's world. He thought my interests became obsessions and made me lose my mind, but everything around me was the problem, and the occult was my escape. But I went too deep, eventually."

"Is it easy to get too deep in all this?"

"It can be, but you're not much like me, Detective. You're responsible, methodical, and you're afraid of this stuff. It's good to be afraid. It protects you from getting consumed by it, taking one too many risks." A bell dinged inside the old metal train car. "Oh! We're here!"

"Already?"

Bella smirked. "Magic, Detective."

They exited the subway to a gorgeous sunset over lush trees and steep-backed mountains. Conrad gaped. "Wow. This place is..."

Bella smiled, breathing in the pine-scented forests. "I've missed this place. Welcome to Glimmerbrook. And just down the hill is the door to the Magic Realm."

Because of the speed of the mysterious subway, Conrad didn't know how far they'd come. But it still felt too far to turn back now. ->

NOTE: Bella legit visited on her own and autonomously gave them a present. I'd already read the newsletter to know what they had to do for the challenge and Heather wasn't going to go because she's pregnant and we're keeping her safe. But Bella taking him felt like a perfect unplanned twist!

[hellodahliah]

so bella goth is a secret agent in ts4... since i watched spyxfamily i haven't been able to keep that au out of my head for ts4 bella...

what if the bachelors were a nuclear family of specially trained agents. their mission is to protect the goth family's secret inventions (let's say the life elixir) from outside dangers and threats from extraterrestrial forces.

-in ts3 bella is a kid who befriends mortimer... (because it is part of her mission to find a close contact from the goth and protect him) but they end up falling for each other. she never tells him about her real identity though, because bella is a family sim and doesn't want to endanger her husband or children (the less they know the better)

-her disappearances in ts2 and ts4 is due to her missions. in ts2 she meets a terribly fate during a mission and disappears, it is the real universe where she fails her mission and ends up kidnapped by aliens from lunar lakes.

-ts4 is a time loop and alternative timeline created by time travel.

-cassandra goth who is a scientist in ts2 invented the time machine. she and alexander had decided to use the time machine to find out what happened to their mum.

-however they are attacked by aliens, cassandra dies in the attack and alexander survives and escapes with the time machine... the time machine breaks down and he is stuck in sunset valley too many years in the past.

-don lothario also fled with him with the machine.

-don lothario was bella's assistant and right hand during her missions. the only person who knew her identity, he also was present during the mission where bella disappears.

-the time travel created a loop in the universe... and that is why pleasantview became willow creek and why all the pleasantview townies in ts4 has had their lore modified.

My Lolita Theory (Story Summary Part 1)

I apologize in advance for the long texts, but I think it's really worth reading. And feel free to reblogging ❤

There are various theories on the Internet about who Lolita Goth is, who is buried in the Goth family cemetery in Sunset Valley. It is known that she is not related to the members of the family in any way. So... Who is she? Well, I started a story with the Goth family a few years ago when I got a world called Pleasantview Valley (a Sims 3 world with all the characters from Sims 2) into the game. And I started with the already aged Mortimer, who lived there with his children Cassandra and little Alexander. As in Sims 2, Bella is no longer part of the household (I posted a short summary about her disappearance and her return in March:

https://www.tumblr.com/tiaamorosa/744040579316514816/something-different?source=share

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Unfortunately, this story is only available in German so far, where the texts were written on the pictures, which makes copying impossible. The picture under this text section shows what I mean. BUT: if anyone is interested in this story, I would take it on as a mammoth project and write the translations under each picture. There are far, far more than 1000 pictures that were taken back then (and oh my God, the story was so good and was very well received by many readers) but I had never thought about translating them.) I would be happy to do it again if anyone wants to. Please let me know!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, Bella was back, the family was happy. Time passed, Alexander grew into a handsome young man. And he had a partner, Robin, with whom he had been together since they were teenagers. And then there was Lolita... She often came to visit at night and talked a lot with Alexander. But she could never really remember what had actually happened to her, her previous life and why she had died. She asked herself many questions... And a certain affection grew between the two.

The time came when Alexander and Robin decided to start their lives together in a new city. Pavalli - a big world with many different interesting characters. And he didn't just go there with Robin - he had taken Lolita's gravestone with him because she no longer wanted to stay in the family cemetery. So she had a new place in his small garden and from then on visited him there every now and then at night. But at some point she decided not to return to the spirit world because she felt uncomfortable and lonely there and somehow out of place. She was so young when she died and long before Alexander moved with his friend, she expressed the wish that she wanted to be alive again.

Alexander wanted to grant her wish, but he didn't really know how to go about it. At some point he got a tip that there were a few books about the chronicles of an alchemist family in an old archive in the city. And then he happened to meet the last member of this family. But he initially refused to help him because his family had done bad things with alchemy in the past.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

End of this part. There will probably be several parts before the resolution of Lolita's past and how she died can be seen. They will come sometime soon, I don't know yet how I'll manage it because of my other projects here. As I said, let me know if you would like to see the part about Lolita from my long Goth story translated. Or if the „short“ summaries here are enough for you. 🥰

Have a nice day.

Jingle Bell Goth

Part 10

Soundtrack: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Bing Crosby

With the air cleared and Michael and Siobhan gone, the rest of the Goth family settled themselves into the living room for coffee.

At 8 o'clock sharp, there was a strange noise by the fireplace. Cassandra looked up just in time to see a man dressed all in blue appear out of thin air - what?! Father Winter?!

After her conversation with Cassandra this morning, Bella had been in touch with Father Winter, who they really did meet on holiday in Sulani a few years earlier, and invited him to spend Winterfest evening with family.

Of course, Father Winter's work is wrapped up early, as he delivers presents while all the Sims are still in bed, so he was more than happy to pay a visit to his chums (they still exchange post cards every year).

"I'm so embarrassed..." Cassandra admitted guiltily. "It's just, some of the kids at school said that Father Winter was really your parents. And I told them we'd met you on holiday, but they all just laughed, thinking it was a joke..."

Of course, Father Winter is a right jolly old elf, he's not one to hold a grudge.

*********************************

Alexander was elated to meet THE FATHER WINTER (oh my Watcher, all the kids in school would be so jealous), and Cassandra being the best big sister ever, left him to monopolise Father Winter's attentions.

She sat down at the piano to play her favourite concerto - an upbeat melody that made her think of falling snow.

Cornelia drew in closer to listen to her granddaughter play. She was suddenly transported back to when she was a young lady herself, back in Champs Les Sims - she remembered how her parents were trying to push her into a marriage with a certain Mr Straud, that funny older gentleman who had moved into town. On paper, he was everything, but in reality, he had a habit of hissing at the strangest moments.

Cornelia felt it was only right to share this story with her teenage granddaughter. "I realise now, that you must feel how I did then. There are more important things to look for in a partner than a bank balance."

********************************

Cassandra got ready for bed that night feeling pretty satisfied. It had turned out to be a good Winterfest after all. But she had one more fence to mend before she went to sleep.

"Hey, Watcher, how are you?" Cassandra began self-consciously. "I know I don't ever pray to you really, I guess that's what I'm doing now? But I wanted to say... if Father Winter is real, then you must be real too? And I'm sorry I doubted you, and your plan for me. And... well, that's it really. Happy Winterfest."

We all know Father Winter doesn't hold a grudge, but the Watcher? She's a vengeful sort...

The End

Happy Winterfest!

Cassandra: Ah, Alex, I was wondering where you were.

Alex: Just sitting outside talking. Cassie, meet Lucy; Lucy, Cassie.

Lucy: Pleased to meet you.

Cassandra: So happy to meet you too. Would you like to stay for dinner?

Lucy: Oh, no thanks, I'm stuffed! I'd better get home anyway before my dad starts to worry.

That dinner was super filling, and Alexander rolled the want to get fit. So he's proceeding to do that, though he'll never admit his looks are important to him. (I've finally shrugged and accepted that Sims bodies do not work like human bodies. Well, sort of accepted.)

That's it for the Goth household this winter.

Next up: Don Lothario.

5 and 23 for the storytelling ask please :)

How do you choose your characters’ names? Choose your least favourite character so far.

Strap in because I'm going to happily ramble about my named sims, and gossip about those I despise! Content warning for sim death.

How do you choose your characters’ names? oh my gosh I have wanted to talk about this for ages Amy HOW DID YOU KNOW! It could almost be its own post. So when I started most of my characters had pre existing names because they were premades or from the gallery. I'll talk about the sims I have named.

Devin, Deanna, Silas and Milton were randomised names that I liked. Alexander's cats Hamlet and Gertrude come from the play Hamlet. Clover and Ginger are just dog names I liked.

Joey was actually named after this sea otter at Vancouver Aquarium! During the pandemic he was found orphaned and they livestreamed him in his nursery and meeting the older otters.

Kelly was named before he was born, I wanted a unisex name that could fit a boy or a girl. The boy Kelly I named him after is from Chicago Fire. He is not my favourite character but I do love the complex ones, so him being a jerk and Kelly being evil is one big coincidence.

Fergus and Carson were named with the randomise button, but I know of characters with their names so I kept them.

I wanted all of the Chopra kids to be named after wonderful black characters or persons of renown. The eldest Chopra twin was named after the actress Mercedes Varnardo who plays Koska Reeves on The Mandalorian. I love the spirit of Koska who is dedicated and loyal.

The youngest Chopra twin was named after the character Savannah from Criminal minds who married the main character Derek Morgan. She is an intelligent woman with a big heart.

And the smallest Chopra is of course named after Viola Davis. I wanted an old fashioned sounding name and Viola Davis is amazing.

Pollock Knightstone is named after painter Jackson Pollock. His father Adam is an art critic so I figured he'd name him for an out there artist.

Alfred and Rilian Villareal get their names from the areas of culture their mama and mummy love. Alfred is named for famous director Alfred Hitchcock (that's why he has a thing about birds)

Rilian is named for Prince Rilian from the Narnia books. Specifically Prince Rilian, who is the son of Prince Caspian, is a character in the Silver Chair (a movie I saw several times growing up).

I found Marta's name by looking at a list of popular Latina names. But her surname, Romero, absolutely comes from Romeo and Juliet. If you are attracted to pretty males and haven't seen Douglas Booth playing Romeo you are missing out!

Choose your least favourite character so far

I have several and thankfully they are all dead! It's hard to pick between these two though. Mortimer might beat Ophelia by a smidgeon.

Ophelia Ryan was James Goth's first wife. I hated her on principal because between rotations MCCC married them because James may have had a romance bar with Alexander but they weren't an official couple. Storywise I had her being a snob who only married James for his family status (James had the closeted trait when Alexander started flirting with him). Anyway she refused to believe James was gay, claiming no one actually enjoys woohoo, and was not going to let him divorce her so he could marry his boy toy. Then she had a cardiac explosion and died because she was a COW.

Mortimer Goth became a self obsessed mean man. First off he started blaming Bella for all their troubles, and called her a gold digger repeatedly. He was far more interested in writing his precious bestsellers than caring about his kids or wife. He only saw Cassandra and Alexander as their achievements, and let Milton lie in a diaper blowout for hours because he was writing. Oh and then he slept with their maid. Then he hired Dina to be a live in maid and slept with her before Bella disappeared. Then he was CRUSHED by a meteor made of karma.

Meet sims 4 YA Nerissa;

Daughter of Don Lothario and Cassandra Goth, what kind of aspiration do you think she would have? I have already given her traits a blend of both parents, I think she might be fun to mess around with or do a challenge (any suggestions?)

[polinationtech]

HEEY I AM BACK. I wanted to make a TS2 fanfic (mainly based on Pleasantview) but it got very weird and complicated. Also, my headcanons and opinions about the premades differ so much from the fandom ones, and are really crazy. I kid you not:

I take some part of TS4 lore as canon. Especially Johnny Zest and the Villareals existence because they are very cool and the only interesting premades in TS4 (and I want Jacques Villareal to meet Olive Specter, they would be great friends)

I really love the Brokes, and sorry not sorry, I ship Brandi with Gordon King. She gives me "I can fix him" energy.

Kaylynn deserved better. Cassandra deserved better. Mary Sue deserved better. The Calientes deserved better. Fuck Don Lothario and Daniel Pleasant.

Mom from Bustin Out is Brandi Broke's aunt (Bob Newbie's little sister).

I hate Mortimer Goth. In TS1 he was okay, but Maxis did him really dirty in TS2. I mean, he forgot about Bella and wants to marry a woman who is younger than him. Why?

I don't like Bella Goth's mystery anymore. I think some people are so blinded by nostalgia that refuse to aknowledge that there are some interesting lore in other families across all the sims games (By that I mean Veronaville's lore, the Landgraab's lore, TS3 Riverview's families!!)

I don't like Malcolm Landgraab IV, but I hate how the fandom forgets about him??? He was the first playable Landgraab in the main PC games and most people pretend he didn't exist (I headcanon him as a cousin of the Malcolm from Bustin Out)

And that said, the Malcolm Landgraab from Bustin Out, TS3 AND TS4 are the same person. At least that is my headcanon and interpretation.

My other interpretation about the Landgraabs: Dudley and Johnny Zest are NOT the same person. Johnny is Dudley and Mimi's uncle, and Malcolm's older brother.

There are more, but my fingers hurt.

I don't mean to sound rude or anything (it is just how I express myself, sorry). These are my opinions, feel free from disagree with them as long as you are being respectful :)

Y por favor les pido que se lo tomen con calma. Son los sims, amiguis ❤️ yo me divierto al leer interpretaciones y headcanons de los precreados distintos a los míos, o ver personas que le dedican tiempo a una familia en específico. Los fandoms son para divertirse, no para pelearse por boludeces. Chau.

Hi! I'm Kaity B (she/her), a 29-year-old Simmer from the USA, and I'm so excited to share my Pleasantview adventures with you! Whether you're new to The Sims or a long-time fan, this post will give you a warm welcome and a helpful guide to my Simblr.

The Charm of Pleasantview 🏡✨

Pleasantview is a neighborhood filled with intriguing stories and beloved characters. My storytelling picks up right after the scripted events of The Sims 2, which set the stage for all the drama and excitement. If you're new to The Sims 2, these scripted events are pre-set scenarios that create a rich backdrop for your gameplay. Here’s a quick rundown of where things stand and what you can expect in my Pleasantview:

The Lothario Household: Don Lothario is a notorious womanizer caught in a love quadrangle with Cassandra Goth, Nina Caliente, Dina Caliente, and Kaylynn Langerak. His upcoming wedding to Cassandra is full of doubts and complications.

The Goth Family: Mortimer Goth is recovering from his wife's disappearance by dipping his toes back into a committed relationship. His daughter Cassandra is engaged to Don Lothario, and his son Alexander is growing up quickly in a house full of secrets.

The Caliente Sisters: Dina and Nina Caliente have recently arrived in Pleasantview under mysterious circumstances. Dina's aim is to marry rich, while Nina seeks excitement. Their arrival coincides with the disappearance of Bella Goth, adding to the town's intrigue.

The Pleasant Family: Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant are struggling with their marriage. Mary-Sue recently caught Daniel cheating with the maid, Kaylynn Langerak. Their twin daughters, Angela and Lilith, are constantly at odds.

The Broke Family: Brandi Broke is dealing with the recent death of her husband, Skip, and the challenges of raising her sons, Dustin and Beau, on her own. An unexpected pregnancy adds to her struggles.

The Dreamer Household: Darren Dreamer is a widower and struggling artist, trying to make ends meet while raising his teenage son, Dirk. He's also harboring a secret crush on Cassandra Goth.

The Burb Family: John and Jennifer Burb have returned to Pleasantview with their daughter Lucy, seeking a fresh start in the town where they grew up.

The Ramirez Family: Checo and Lisa Ramirez have just opened a new furniture store in Pleasantview, hoping to achieve the Simtopia dream while raising their daughter, Tessa.

New neighbors should start with the Lothario Household or Fall 1 to dive right into the action! From there follow my list of the household here or on the main page! Remember to scroll to the bottom as tumblr doesn't post chronologically!

These events are the springboard for all the stories and dramas that unfold in my Pleasantview. Now, let's dive into the details!

My Gameplay Style 🎮

Inspiration & Credit

A heartfelt thanks to @pleasantsims! Your creative flair and stories have reshaped my love for The Sims. I'm here to spread that joy and inspiration further. IYKYK!

Rotational Play

Rotational play is a gameplay style where I switch households every in-game week, giving each household 7 days per season. This way, I can keep their stories fresh and unexpected. Unlike the legacy challenge, where you focus on a single family through multiple generations, rotational play allows you to explore and develop multiple families and their stories simultaneously. This method ensures that every family in Pleasantview gets attention and their stories interweave, creating a dynamic and interconnected neighborhood.

To keep up with all the household stories, I use a detailed tagging system on my blog:

#welcome to pleasantview! - Start here for an overview and general information about my gameplay style.

#pleasantview legacy - Includes every story piece of content for every household.

Household Tags - Follow each family's saga. The tags are listed in the order I rotate households: #the lothario household, #the goth household, etc.

Seasonal Tags - Prefer a seasonal approach? Each tag gathers all events within that time frame across all households: #fall 1, #winter 1, #spring 1, #summer 1. Our neighborhood stories begin in fall 1!

Individual Sim Insights - Deep dives into each Sim's life: #get to know the sim, #meet the neighbors.

Special Moments - Celebrations and cameos: #pleasantview birthdays, #pleasant cameos, #strange cameos.

Recaps and Chronicles - Quick catch-ups on each household's latest season: #lothario recap, #goth recap, etc.

Behind the Scenes - Insights into the creative process: #behind the scenes with kaity b.

Community Hub - Interact, ask questions, and become a part of Pleasantview: #ask kaity b! & #kaity b answers, #kaity b resources, #kaity b reblogs, #kaity b saves for later.

Games and Interactions - Fun activities for neighbors: #hey neighbors, #tag game, #emoji ask games.

This system helps you easily find the content you're interested in and follow the storylines that captivate you the most.

Wants-Based Gameplay

Wants-based gameplay means that my Sims' desires drive their stories. In The Sims 2, Sims have specific wants and fears that influence their behavior and mood. I focus on fulfilling their wants, which adds a layer of depth and unpredictability to their lives. By prioritizing their aspirations and fears, I let autonomy stir up some delightful chaos along the way, making the storytelling more organic and engaging.

The Sims 2 Vibes

I've modded my game to mirror the feel of The Sims 2, including aspirations, hobbies, and those quirky chance cards. Dice rolls and creative twists keep things interesting. All stories kick off post-scripted events. In my neighborhood, Don and Cassandra are married, Dina and Mortimer eloped, and Daniel... well, let's say he's had better days.

Hey ! Here some random base game headcanon.

- Alexander and Olivia have a crush on each other and end up together in all of my saves

- Zoe and Johnny are both pansexual and will be going on at least one date

- The guy in the rommates household see Zoe like a younger sister but has to act like the mom most of the time

- Katrina is Dina and Nina antie (makes more sense in my mind)

- Travis and Summer were friends first in elementary school and then Liberty move in with her family and they all became close

- Nancy is obviously a bad parent but Geoffry not standing up for Johnny and distancing himself from him is bad

- Johnny was kick out and disowned because of his aspirations, values and sexuality

- Dina and Nina aren't twins. Nina is the 2 years older protective older sister and Dina is the naïve and sweet younger sister

- Alice and Eric met each other through an internship at an art studio (Alice for the creative side and Eric the business side). They didn’t like each other at first

- Malcom has a crush on Cassandra but he treat her badly because "if a guy is mean to you it's because he likes you" but she's asexual lesbian

- Zoe is a the best elementary teacher

Thanks for sharing ur headcanons with me!! I hardly see people talk about Alice and Eric so u giving them a story is so cute!! They deserve more love.

I also see Nina & Dina as sisters and not twins. Thats why in my makeovers they arent identical / have similarities. I know some ppl make them look a little alike but not all siblings are always going to look alike and have similarities.

In my save, Johnny has a bad relationship with his father because his dad is a pushover and does everything Nancy says. So even tho Geoffrey goes out of his way to be supportive of johnny, he tends to be in the middle trying to make johnny come back and just do what his mom wishes. So that sets johnny off. He has a soft spot for his dad, but he knows he cant be a part of his life since his mom has Geoffrey wrapped around her finger. Malcolm sneaks out or makes up lies to meet up with Johnny from time to time because they are actually close. It hurt Johnny a lot knowing he'd leave Malcolm behind with their mom. I haven't thought far enough in what I want for Malcolm tbh! But I know hes evil which tbh im not really a fan of. I know in sims 3 hes good so i want to change that. idk i find it stupid and annoying imo fjsjfjfl I also hate that geoffrey is a secret agent...I try to make sense of the sims 4 lore and decisions on certain townies careers bc I actually hate a lot of them lkfsfkkf

I want Geoffrey and Nancy to be money launderers & The Goths are also in the crime business, The Landgraab's and The Goths are the two well known family names.

Zoe & Johnny sounds real cute ngl...I have yet to take johnny out on a proper date and the last time I played in his household he had the sad and alone moodlet...soooo who knows maybe ill pop in there again heehehe~

anyways, sorry for talking ur head off anon lol!! I started to yap a little too much

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 44 (A Nephew and a Wedding!)

Making the most of a rainy autumn, Heather travelled to Henford to meet River and Cassandra's son, Michael, before he was even a week old.

She marvelled at her tiny nephew while he slept. "It's incredible, Riv! That's your kid!"

"He's pretty amazing, isn't he? I can't believe he's finally here."

Heather had arrived with first-time grandmother, Bella Goth, who always looked incredible. Even now that her jet black hair had faded to grey, she dressed like she could stop traffic everywhere she went.

"He has my brother's chin," she said, glancing wistfully upon her grandson as he woke from his nap. Baby Michael had been named for Bella's brother, who died in a motorcycle crash at the age of 32.

Bella was delighted to meet her grandson, but memories of her older brother still made her sad. He’d been gone for over twenty years, but he was her big brother - the only person she regretted leaving behind in Sunset Valley when she and Mortimer got married.

Cass cradled her new son. "I know how much you miss him. I wanted to honour his memory, and when he was born, we thought he looked like a Michael. Are you upset?"

Bella pushed forth a smile. "No, my goodness. My brother would have been thrilled to know his name lives on." Cass carefully studied her mother's face. "I know Michael's death triggered the depression that led to my disappearance, but I'm a stronger person now. I want to see my grandson grow up, and I have plenty to keep my mind busy. Diego keeps talking about taking a trip, and your brother's wedding is next month."

"Maybe Alexander and Lydia will give you more grandkids soon," Heather suggested sweetly as she cuddled Michael in her arms.

"You know she doesn't even want a wedding?" Bella smiled. "I told Lydia there was no chance my son would elope at Brindleton Town Hall, but she doesn't want seating, because she doesn't want an audience. She doesn't want a wedding dress, and doesn't want Alexander in a tux. The guests will be more dressed up than they are!"

"If it's what she wants, won't it still be beautiful?" Cass saw the world in such a romantic way.

"She wants an altar made of palm leaves! In our mansion! The aesthetic has me gasping! But she says the only part of the wedding she's actually looking forward to is her honeymoon in Sulani. All she cares about is marrying Alexander, not showing off for a bunch of guests she doesn't know."

"I think that's sweet," said Cassandra.

"A part of me was mortified! But a bigger part of me wishes I'd had the guts to stand up to Mortimer's parents when I was thrown into the deep end of the society scene as his photogenic new bride all those years ago. I really like her."

Heather and her siblings were all invited to the big day – a simple and phoned in ceremony (by the Watcher!) at the Goth family mansion in Brindleton Bay.

(I just wanted to make sure they didn't break up or something so I rushed it, quick and dirty. They're a side-side household at the moment even though I've tentatively plotted some of their future in my notes, but sometimes I just want to play and not do all this set up. And I'll shamelessly try to excuse it with storytelling every time.)

Surprisingly, no one complained about sitting on the floor for the ceremony. And even though it was raining, Heather chatted with Holly outside in their boho-style dresses.

"That colour looks great on you," Holly said, eyeing the purple dress Heather had chosen from the shop with almost no thought.

"Thanks, but I don't know where I might have a chance to wear something like this again." (The game picked it at random but I like how the colour nods to Gen 3)

"Maybe you should wear it with Conrad somewhere."

"We're not really a dressy couple," she said. "All my clothes get covered in whatever Ash gets his hands in then wipes on my shirt. If he wasn't at his dad's this weekend, I'm sure the dress would already have at least three stains."

Holly laughed, shaking her head. "You're so unflirty, sis. I don't know how you have the hottest man on the planet practically begging to move in with you."

"I'm taking him home to Henford soon. I really want him to meet everyone, but I'm so worried it won't go well."

"Why wouldn't it go well? Didn't you say he wanted to come with you today but couldn't get away from work?"

"I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, that's all."

"What, like he's secretly working for the Landgraabs in some elaborate scheme to steal your code for your next mobile app?" She laughed at the thought, but Heather would be lying if she said the possibility had never crossed her mind, even once, in the months since she'd known him.

"I think it's more that if it doesn't go well, it would hurt too much."

"Then don't overthink it. You know no matter what, you'll always have us."

As hard as it was to take Holly's advice, Heather spent the next few weeks focused on her clinic to keep her mind off her relationship fears. ->

NOTE: Lydia Kim-Lewis (now Goth!) is the youngest of three daughters of Eric and Alice. She's also Hazel Nesbitt's best friend since childhood, which is why the family-focused wedding had so many Nesbitts, too. For those who like updates on townies and premades, eldest Olivia married Imran Watson and they have three kids, and Spencer of course married Everett (and they have Greyson and Jett). Spencer and Lydia were both born in-game.
