I've been goofing around a bit in Mountainside Valley today. So far, it's mostly been set-up - randomizing orientations and secondary aspirations, checking LTWs, getting people into the right careers when possible, and so on. Two of the stay-at-home moms have secret dreams of being Captain Hero, while another wants to marry off six children. Cyan and Ryan the popularity boys both want to be Cult Leaders. Robin is the only sim to already be in the right career for his LTW. Acacia randomized as gay, and I'm hoping to pair her up with Layla, who's bi. Layla wants to have 5 Top Businesses, and her mom Nadia got fortune as a secondary, so I guess they'll work on that together.
I've added an empty downtown, and a cleaned La Fiesta Tech (where I turned the bin sims into dormies) so there are some more romantic options for the single sims. Poor Stuart, though, is almost the only gay male around. (His nephew Ryan is bi.) Maybe when the professors spawn there will be someone for him, or a vampire or warlock.

I've been playing MV again, three one-day rounds are almost complete. (Some college left on the third round.) Almost all adults have found their LTW careers, and there are some new pregnancies and engagements. I'll put this under a spoiler cut, because it's fairly long.
And that's the status of my Mountainside Valley right now.
Amin Shaer is happy with his family as it is, and focused on working his way up in the Oceanography career. Nadia, however, wants to marry off six kids, so she wanted to get pregnant again as soon as possible. When that didn't happen for her right away, she seems to have blamed Amin for it, because she was spotted downtown (when uncontrollable) getting into phone booths with first Grey Kurtin, then Danny James. She has finally succeeded in getting pregnant, and I'm pretty sure the father is Amin. (I play with ACR and a silent lullaby mod, so the qualifier is needed.) She may also adopt a kid or two. Meanwhile, Layla - who is dating Acacia Treah - has started her first business. Technically Nadia owns it, but it will be handed over to Layla when she goes off to college. Sarah is friends with Ash and Kamilah Treah, Banyan just became a child.
The Rheins moved to a different house right away, because of the lack of bedrooms that could hold a double bed. Not going to work with two family sims and a romance sim in the house! All three sisters have very quickly gotten knocked up. Mathilda has moved out to live with her baby daddy Grey, Sheila is waiting for Frances Worthington to graduate from college, and Cecilia is going to be a single mother (heavily relying on Deliah for childcare). Deliah wants six grandkids, and since there are at least three on the way already, that should be very possible. Until then she spends her time gardening, and has a flirtation going on with the local Garden Club leader, Conrad. Cecilia works as a dancer, and has two lovers, Craig Bailey and Mickey Dosser.
Grey Kurtin has a secondary of romance, and is quite the hypocrite. He had no qualms about jumping into a photo booth with Nadia Shaer, or dating Mathilda Rhein and getting her pregnant, but when he saw Violet with Craig and realized the baby wasn't his, that was completely different in his eyes. He congratulated her on having two lovers, then ordered her to get out - and promptly moved in Mathilda. She works in Entertainment, and Grey just wants lots of money so he's still in Business. Neither of the boys has a girlfriend yet; Cyan has the hots for Layla, who he's best friends with, but she's with Acacia. He also made fast friends with Ryan McCormick the very first day, and those two are thick as thieves even though Ryan is at college now. Green is mostly a loner, with a bit of a thing for Sheila Rhein, even though she's much too old for him, not to mention engaged.
Danny and Mary James have found their dream careers, and have managed to get their twins through toddlerhood. But now Mary is throwing up all over the place, and there's really no room for another baby, but they can't afford a bigger place... (Mary is a cop, Danny an oceanographer.)
Forest and Willow Treah just welcomed twin boys, Hickory and Rowan. Willow wants to be a cop, but can't find the right job - why couldn't she have been the one wanting to marry off six kids? - so she has to settle for being a private detective for now, while Forest is a stay-at-home dad. Acacia juggles her girlfriend, her part-time job, and big-sister duties at home. Ash is almost a teen, Banyan just became a child, Kamilah spends most of her time building towers at the activity table.
The McCormicks are work focused - Jules in Science, Virginia in Entertainment. They talked about having another child, but it didn't happen for them, and now they're too old. Adoption, maybe? Or holding on to the hope that Ryan will come home after he graduates? For now, they've bought a cat in Frances Worthington's pet store. (The Shaer, Rhein and Treah households each got themselves a dog.)
The Roomie household lost one member when Ryan went off to college, and then got a new one when Violet Kurtin moved in after her divorce. She and Craig are not exactly in a committed relationship - he's also dating Cecilia Rhein and Jessie Pilferson - but intend to raise their child together. They're both secondary pleasure seekers, they both have low ACR jealousy scores, and it seems like it could work for them. Craig is in the Slacker career, so he should have plenty of time to spend with the child when it arrives. Violet has stayed in Politics; her LTW is to have lots of best friends. Stuart wants the same thing, so this will be a very social household. He has 20 friends, I think, so it's just a matter of time. One of them is the Grand Vampire he's occasionally dating, Count Mitch. Robin is alien pregnant. He'll be leaving to live with his fiancée Sarah Love as soon as she graduates - she wants to marry off six kids, so they definitely need a house of their own.
At LFT, I'm playing the Greek Houses and Frances Worthington. Guy Wrightley and Monica Bratford are an item, and will be the first to graduate. DJ Verse is dating Ryan McCormick, who is now a frat boy (and loving it). Sarah Love is engaged to Robin Moore, and Matthew Hart to Klara Vonderstein, who has been moved into the sorority. Jessie Pilferson and Mickey Dosser both have numbered LTWs, and may either move into the Roomies household when they graduate, or get a place or places of their own. Jessie is dating Craig, Mickey and Gunnar Roque; Mickey is seeing Jessie, Cecilia Rhein, and has his sights set on a couple of professors. Frances is engaged to Sheila Rhein, and has bought two of the five businesses he wants.

@Felicia1066 I love how you played the families. Kind of a second Widespot. I love it.
Thanks for playing. It's always fun to read how the downloaders played the neighborhoods.

LOL! I wonder how Grey and Craig feel about it... :/
My Violet gave birth to a boy named Red (Kurtin-Bailey). I thought Red was a perfect name given the circumstances and the current state of relationships and havoc going on.
What's so funny about my Violet is that she managed to let Craig, instead of Grey, catch her "cheating". She actually kissed her husband in front of Craig, which infuriated him. And I was like "Like, really? That's her husband, dude."
So, basically, she still wants to be with Grey and apparently, wanted to make sure that Craig got that message. As for Craig, when I played his household, he had a fear of getting engaged to Violet, so I guess it's just a matter of ego.
Please, call me 'mmaa', saves time.

Oh! Wow! You've been playing the neighborhood for quite a while! Mine are still in school. I only managed to play the neighborhood for one rotation (1 day for each household). Yet, in that one rotation, a lot has manage to happen as I mentioned earlier.
Let us know more about what happens in your version. We're happy to read it all.

found the unknown backward-pants boy
I've played everyone; some of the families had more babies, most of the originals are now elders. One of the first things I did was give the Rhein triplets a make-over, and story-lines so I could tell them apart. Cecilia (the wild one) who was pregnant by Craig Bailey didn't want anything to do with Craig Jr. Sheila (the home-body) married townie Robin Moore -she had their son Robby the day after Cecilia delivered. Mathilda (the serious one) brought home a "waiter" who is a house crasher; he walks into every house I play! Mathilda moved out; I may have to have her "move in" the stupid waiter, just so I can kill the pervert!Here are the 3 girls, Cecilia on left (pregnant in her underwear); Craig is in back (he feels so welcome here, he just comes over whenever he feels...lonely?. Sheila in the middle, and Mathilda...
In the McCormick house, Virginia seemed like a real B... when she was pregnant with a new baby, Randy.
"Runaway" teen Ryan came home when Randy was a toddler...they are so cute together, I just had to dress them alike. Ryan is going steady with Layla Shaer
It was really hard to get Ryan to even like his parents a little.
The Treah family had 3 more kids; Bud, Maple, and Rose. Maple has to be the sadist looking kid I've ever seen (never mind the fuggly factor)!
HELP? I can't remember how many kids the Kurtins "shipped with"; just 2 boys Cyan and Green?
If that's correct, I created two more; Cotton (gorilla boy) and cute April
When Bud Treah became a boy, his outfit was borked - his pants are on backwards!
P.S. You might want to check out the "Random Pictures" thread...

The Kurtins shipped 3 children. Cyan, Green and an unborn one (the father of this child is Craig)
Anyway, I like how you made over the sims. They look great.
Delilah would be glad to have grandchildren.

Thanks. And it seemed "natural" for Delilah & Stuart McCormick to get together, but Stuart continues to live with Craig. Cyan Kurtin became a Rock God, but is always lonely. Between a wishing well & the matchmaker, he's had lots of Groupies to grope. Not all the dates were good..
But when 2 of them were blond waitresses, I just HAD to let them be pregnant. They live together in a crappy house
Autumn had his daughter Summer (who looks like Cyan); Nora (in black lace) had his son Cayenne. He became a toddler with braids that look like dad (cute), but a worse-than-alien nose...where did THAT come from!
Cyan is wealthy, I built him a new house, so seems like he should support his kids...

Oh! Wow! His life is messy! Glad to see he started taking care of himself and his kids/family/whatever-you'd-call-them-in-this-messy-situation. :P
I can't wait to see what you did with the rest! Keep 'em coming!
Side note: First of all: Yeah, 'Cyan' wasn't the best name I could give him, but since it's "flashy" colour, I thought it suited his personality. Also, his son's nose, that's probably his nose, but at the toddler stage, you don't get exactly the same features as when they're teens. Just wait till he grows to teen.
Another thing regarding Deliah (BTW, it's Deliah guys, a variant spelling of Delia, not Delilah. I got confused myself at first. ), she does seem like she's meant to be with Stuart, but I'm not quite so sure myself, cause I could hook him up with one of her daughters instead, probably Cecilia or Mathilda...

That's Violet's nose. It looks terrible as a toddler and child but it will improve once they become teens.

Funny, I expected Craig to be the Valentine of this hood, but it's Cyan that's written his own life. He kept wanting to dance, etc. When he first moved out I had him go to a lot where he can win dance contests (he DID), and meet the ladies - which he was also keen to do. But in this hood, where there are almost NO TOWNIES, I also let him use the gypsy and wishing well. When he got the old witch (shudder) I looked at his "turn ons"; he LIKED gray hair! I had to change that. He'll stay friends with his kids, but there will be no more. Actually, both mommies still WANT him...dum dum DUM! Maybe this WILL get messy!
Kamilah Treah married Green Kurten; you'll recognize the wedding guests. They both became doctors before moving back to Kamilah's parent's house to start a family..
Everyone was happy to greet baby Kammi {trying to spell the short word for camouflage - should the name be "Cami", "Cammi"? As in "camouflage curtain"}
I'm sure when little sister Rose Treah is through throwing food at her face, she'll be excited too...
Because I like to play every house a bit differently: Green Treah is not much like his brother; he sort of was "invited" to get his own place. He keeps getting fired- McDonalds, crime, and "cleaning" are just not for him; he wants to be a professional party guest but there doesn't seem to be a lot of job openings. He married a cute blond, who works -sort of. I never direct them to clean - and they don't much mind. They are good at getting guest to help out--even if they don't do things quite right..
They may be causing some problems: here they are on a date and Mandy decides she likes Grey Kurtin AND a married woman (Griona James). Green was busy eating and didn't notice. They must have left without paying; they only had $54 and still had that when they came home.
They are as careless about birth control (ACR!) as they are about money...
"Gee, how did THAT happen?!" "I dunno, wanna dance?" "Tee Hee"

Sorry. I forgot to check this thread from time to time.
Anyway, it's always so different! LOL
btw I like how you made over Mathilda Rhein. She looks gorgeous. Even though the Rheins have strong genetics...
