Season 5: The Svajone Family

Svajone Family
Tanner Svajone: Male Adult | Pleasure | Taurus | Become Game Designer
Meadow Thayer: Female Adult | Family | Aquarius | Becomes Captian Hero

Last Round: These two returned from college and had a wedding ceremony to tie the knot. They found jobs, Tanner in his chosen career, Meadow went into Education for now. The couple went on a honeymoon to the islands and had a good time, and Meadow came back home pregnant.

(Editor's Note: This family also had a "glitch" of a kind in Meadow's pregnancy.  The baby would not come.  So we spent the first couple of days waiting for the baby until I finally did a de-bug on Meadow and then the baby came without issue.  I'm not sure where these problems have suddenly cropped up from but I'm hoping the hood isn't headed for disaster.)

We join the couple playing some chess at the start of the season.  Meadow is very pregnant as we left her at the end of the last round.  I also realize that I put Meadow into the Education career instead of Law Enforcement, so she beings looking for a job in that field.

Jaiden comes over one day and her and Meadow talk about all kinds of things.  Meadow was still in uni when Jaiden started, and they were in the greek house together for a while.  With Jaiden preparing to get married this round I'm sure she and Meadow have a lot to talk about.

Late one-night tragedy struck!  There was a burglar.  I noticed him right away and was able to wake Tanner up to call the cops.  The police came and won the fight against the criminal, but he had gotten away with the piano, tv, and one of the couples gold doubloons from their honeymoon.

 

Finally after debugging her Meadow goes into labor and we finally get to see what the young couple will have.  There is only one baby, and it's a baby boy.  He gets the Nameberry popular name #70 from 2017, Lucas.  Welcome, Lucas Svajone!!!

The couple hires a nanny and they make sure to tip her well.  She does manage to feed the baby and only 1 or 2 bottles per feeding.  She does leave him with a dirty diaper for a good portion of the day and lays him down on the floor, but then immediately picked him up and put him back in his crib.  So I guess, she isn't the worst sim nanny ever?

Before we know it it is time for Lucus to have a birthday.  A ton of people are invited over to celebrate with the family, although Tanner had to work so he was unable to attend.

 Meadow brings baby Lucus to the cake, and sadly, nothing happens.  Standard birthday cake glitch.  The baby's diaper was dirty, so after a quick change we try again and this time baby Lucus grows up into a toddler.  He is an Aquarius who is middle of the road neat and outgoing.  Decently playful and nice but fairly lazy.  It was a good thing Meadow isn't a pop sim because the party ended up a disaster due to the cake glitch, but everyone is happy all the same.

Life returns basically to normal for the young couple.  They study their needed skills for promotions, and the baby plays with his rabbit head.

Tanner takes some time one day towards the end of spring to play with Lucus and read him a story.  Lucas was very happy to have his dad spend so much time with him.

Meadow, as you can see, did find a job in her chosen field, and comes home promoted and with a friend.  Tanner entertains the friend while Meadow spends some time with her son, and teaches him a nursery rhyme. Mother and child become best friends because of this.  Shortly after Tanner finishes up potty training as well.

Season 5: The Morpheus Family

Morpheus Family

Mac Morpheus: Male Elder | Pleasure | Leo | Have 50 Dream Dates

Destinee Morpheus: Female Elder | Romance | Scorpio | Have 20 Simultaneous Lovers

Annabelle Morpheus: Female Elder | Romance | Pisces | Have 20 Simultaneous Lovers

Heaven Morpheus: Female Elder | Romance | Taurus | WooHoo with 20 Different Sims

Last Round: Destinee and Mac dated a lot in an attempt to have Mac reach his LTW. Arnav brought Opal home from school and started a relationship with her.  He left for college at the end of the round, taking Opal with him. Heaven and Annabelle studied and dated some, and the family went to the lake.

We are in a new season for Clovercrest and that means we are back with the founding Morpheus family.  At the moment this group of elders are empty nesters.  Arnav, who was determined to be the heir, is off in college.  You can see his exploits in the university updates. He will be back next round, and in the meantime, we have these romance and pleasure sims. The hot tub is used frequently in this house and Annabelle and Heaven relax while a gypsy lady doesn't bring us anything

(Editor's Note: We had some strange troubles with this hood.  I sincerely hope we are not headed for disaster and it was just some strangeness of having to reinstall the game, but none of the couples had BFF options (like Inside Joke) and checking on their files in SimPE (which I didn't edit, just looked at) they didn't appear to have BFF status with each other.  I ran the hoodchecker on it, and when I loaded again things were normal, but neither couple were BFF's with each or have regained that relationship yet. I have not noticed that elsewhere in either this hood or others, but some other strangeness happened later in this hood.  So here's hoping it's not preparing to explode already.) 

We are still working towards Mac's LTW, however, I believe we had 8 or 9 left to get, so Mac and Destinee head to a community lot for some dating. They talk for awhile outside, then go take some pictures with each other.  They also utilize the photo booth for more....adventurous prospects as well.

No sooner do the two get out of the photobooth but they start making out as well.  Over the course of a short period of time at the mall, the couple manages two dream dates, and one ends with some fun in the elevator.

After getting a couple of dates the couple decides to have some other fun at the mall.  They bowl for a bit and meet some of the Mimoza clan.  They also both try out the dance spheres.  Destinee didn't do as well as Mac, but I believe she tried it on a harder setting as well.

Back and home, the other couple is still here as well.  Annabelle, due to a chance card, got fired from her job.  She was a bit sad about it, but also kind of glad at the same time. She then had something else happen to her that I cannot remember at the moment, but it wasn't positive.  So her wife, Heaven, cuddled her in the hot tub to try and make everything better.

Back out in some community lots Mac and Destinee sing some karaoke duet and did some more bowling and talking. These two tend to hang out and do things with each other, even if not directed.  Other sims have to come interact with them if they want to.

Destinee wanted to get new clothes at some point, and while she didn't end up buying this outfit it was the perfect excuse to have a little fun in the fitting rooms.

Off to another community lot and this one has a large game of basketball underway already.  I loved that such a large group of sims were on the lot.  Slightly away from the game Mac and Destinee talked a little with Jaiden, who is soon to marry their eldest grandson, and had another date.

Back at home, one more date was had and Mac has done it.  He and Destinee have reached his LTW of 50 Dream Dates.  Not only is that the reach a CAS LTW, but that is also the impossible want for Pleasure sims, which Mac is.

The elders pretty much control themselves at this point, although sometimes they are directed.  Heaven, for instance, went shopping for some more food.  These guys love to cook but don't eat many leftovers.

As I mentioned, in the beginning, the hot tub is a favorite for all 4 of them, but here 3  of them spend some time with a new friend.  I do not remember her name, but I believe it is one of the adoption pool parents (before playing here I made multi-generational kids that ended up in the adoption pool and the parents became townies to add some variety.)

Destinee gets invited to the games hobby lot after playing chess for many hours.  This became her favorite activity.  No one usually joined her, it was just her practicing over and over again.

Heaven, unfortunately, ended up demoted at work due to a bad chance card.  The stupid things can really be annoying at times. Still, she brought a co-worker home and Annabelle cheered her up shortly after.

We end this season with Destinee really wanting to win a dance competition.  The wish would not roll away and Mac took them all to the hobby lot and have a couple of tries she won, and was very happy.
