Click here if you wish to (re-)read Angela's previous week.
Sorry - I made a mistake and accidentally deleted the first part of this chapter, when Angela still lived with Bottom and Björn Summerdream at the Summerdream villa.
Maybe you remember that she moved there with her partner Puck, after Oberon and Titania had died. Sadly, Puck did not live long after the move, but Angela decided to remain with the Summerdreams.
During the first day of the new week here, Bottom and Björn turned into Elders. Finally, Bottom could fulfill her lifetime want: She threw a great party to celebrate her Golden Anniversary with Björn, making this a household of Perma-Plat Sims.
- - -
Now that all three members of the household are elders, and there are no children at uni expected to return, there is no reason for them not to move to the Senior Residence.
For the first time in a long time, the building is now almost full with 7 Sims.
It does not take long for Bottom to find the poker table, and not long for Angela to discover Jimmy Phoenix!
Ripp feels the newcomers are great additions - now there are three ladies here, not just one. As an old Romance Sim, he will never change!
Björn makes sure everyone knows that he and Bottom are husband and wife, and as much in love as ever. He serenades her right there in the common room. (All this happened without me doing anything.)
Today is Saturday (it was Friday here when the three newcomers arrived, even though they left their house just after midnight on Monday, i.e. Tuesday). Christian appears a little shy around the new residents; he rather watches from the settee.
I fear for Bottom's life! She has spent way too much time at the poker table, until almost all of her needs (except for social and fun) were VERY red. Now she can not decide whether sleeping or eating is more important. Instead of getting something to eat from the well-stocked fridge, she sleeps first in one bed...
...and then in another. She repeats this several times until I think she really won't make it. But without me having noticed, someone has prepared blackened catfish, and eventually, Bottom manages to stay awake long enough to have a plateful before she retreats to bed again.
Sunday is a beautiful sunny day, and some of the residents meet for a chat between their row of "cottages" and the community building. Ripp is happy to have made Jimmy one of his best friends. Björn Summerdream looks on, he still feels a bit like the "new kid".
With the exception of Sarah Love (who had to go to work today), everyone gathers for breakfast.
After that, I have Angela call a taxi that takes the group to St. Simius. I know they could have walked, and I know it is a cliché that elderly people go to church on Sundays, but I wanted to make sure the group visit a community lot together, and as I have not been playing at St. Simius in a while, I send them there.
Angela meets and greets Mercutio Ottomas and his brother Romeo Monty there.
Romeo Monty and Jared Starchild retreat to the quiet church for a while.
The Unsavoury Charlatan puts in an appearance and talks to the bartender without anything happening.
He then shows off some rather extravagant moves on the dance floor :-)
While the taxi is already pulling up to take the group back to the Senior Residence, Ripp can not escape the Charlatan - and leaves with 100 Simoleons less in his pocket. Never mind, there is more money to the household than they know what to do with!
Back home, Angela wonders whether this guy wants to play poker with them. No - he has come specifically for her and hands her the very last cocktail.
Bye-bye, Angela!
She was 78.
It was nice to see the Senior Residence fuller again. I plan on having them call the police next, so that hopefully Demi Love, the pretty blonde police officer, will appear, and Christian Love can befriend her.
Ok first - The Charlatan! On the dance floor! Haha! That was G R E A T!I laughed out loud - perfect! Also I really like when they show affection without being directed - 3 bolts no doubt as that is the town rule. And last - it is interesting how they behave when motives are low - like unable to sleep or nightmares Im glad she made it. Here again Im finding myself at a loss because I thought Bottom died in a fire at uni - but obviously not. Great show!
ReplyDeleteHehe I'm glad the Charlatan on the dance floor made you laugh!
DeleteYou are forgiven to have thought Bottom died in a fire at uni - quite a few of my students did, so it is easy to get a little confused every now and then.
Great week, so nice that the Senior residence is almost full again.
ReplyDeleteThey enjoyed a great outing albeit if they had to put up with the show off Charlatan!
Bye Angela, she had a nice life :)
Good idea to try and get Demi into the game, maybe she can carry on the Love name!
I am currently playing the Ramirez siblings and had them call the police in order for them to meet Demi, but Ramir Centowski was the officer who turned up... They will try again!

The Pleasant family name will become extinct in my game, although there are still two of Angela's Servos living in the neighbourhood.
DeleteThank you for my evening read. It's nice to see so many sims living in the residence. - I have never seen the charlatan dance. :D
ReplyDeleteI have never seen him dance, either :-D
DeleteYes, the more Sims there are at the Senior Residence, the more fun I have playing there.
