Roseland Family
Previously at the Roseland family: The family has been growing - Minola learned all her toddler skills and grew up into a healthy child while Bianca gave birth to her little brother Hortensio, whose turn it is now to toddle around the house. But with Bianca holding a grudge against her former friend Titania Summerdream after seeing her woohoo her mother Isabella, will trouble be brewing in house Roseland?
We start off in the later morning - as the season was late to change last round - with Bianca and Hortensio sleeping in while Cyd and Minola are at school and work already.
While Bianca would really rather go and sleep in til the afternoon, Hortensio woke up already in need to be brought to the potty. While training him, Bianca receives inheritance funds from Isabella...
... and so does Hortensio, while getting tickles from mummy to lift his spirits.
Soon enough we find Minola and Cyd on the sidewalk already, back from school and work respectively.
At home, while Minola talks about her day with her mother and Cyd does some dishes, they receive inheritances from Isabella too.
Bianca, who managed to take care of some of her needs during the day, brings Hortensio to the potty once more...
... before going to bed again, as Cyd scores a point for Creativity.
Minola wants to ask for homework help, and with Bianca being asleep only Cyd remains on the lot.
Minola, being rather tired already, calls it a night, leaving Cyd to take the early night shift for Hortensio.
Biance, once fully rested, takes it over from him...
... and also teaches Hortensio to walk!
Minola, who has yet to finish her homework, asks Bianca for some advice - and officially gets the gist before...
... the school bus arrives, and both mother and daughter are off to work and school respectively.
Leaving Cyd and Hortensio at home for some father-son bonding.
After bathing his child, Cyd tries to teach Hortensio to talk (considering that Cyd works as a con artist this may not be a good idea irl), when Bianca gets hit with a chance card from work.
Of course Bianca goes for her family's Italian Minestra à la Montague, and gets rewarded accordingly! (Is it me or was this chance card MADE for the Monty family?)
While Cyd takes on potty duty for his son, he receives his payment for taking a day of leave.
Bianca and Minola return, and the former's efforts to help with the latter's homework turn out well!
Minola rolled the want to jump rope, and doing just that helped her earn a body skill point - a shame that the bath is taken by Bianca who has to wash Porthos.
It took a few tries and probably a few year off of Bianca's lifespan, but eventually Porthos stays in the bath, and Bianca praises him for it. Speaking of lifespans, Hortensio's birthday into his childhood is coming up already!
Before that however, Bianca and Cyd manage to find some quality time together.
Cyd cooks dinner for the family and gains a skill point - while Minola finishes up her homework.
Bianca meanwhile officially teaches Hortensio what that potty really is for.
A bit of talk teaching later, and Hortensio is also fully up to date on his toddler skills.
'twas a big day with lots of learning and teaching, so Bianca and Cyd take a well-deserved sleep.
The next morning, Minola got up first, wanting to watch some TV... which promptly broke.
Imagining her mother's disappointed reaction if she'd ever see this...
... we'll just give the lower floor a bit of a makeover!
Now Minola can actually play video games, too!
Not for long however, as far too soon the school bus awaits her.
Bianca has some doggy play time with Porthos as this time it's Cyd's turn to get a chance card from work!
I kinda feel bad about the crime part of his job, but hey, at least the reward for this card is good.
Being at work doesn't leave him time to take calls however, as Dora Zuimelhof learns the hard way.. why does Dora call him anyways?
Father and daughter are back home soon...
... which gives Bianca the opportunity to go out to do some shopping.
Cyd manages to gain a logic skill point, right before she walks off the lot...
... to Pentameter Parkway.
Bianca grabs her groceries quickly...
... but on her way out, she ends up in an argument with Regan Capp - followed by Titania Summerdream walking in on the feuding ladies.
Titania, having been harassed by Bianca recently, ignores the Summerdreams' neutrality in Veronaville and sides with Regan against Bianca!
Things escalate and Bianca goes for Regan's jugular!
Regan manages to fight Bianca off however...
... so Bianca droops off with her life intact, but her pride shattered.
Once she returns home it's 6pm already and Hortensio is ready for a birthday party!
The guests arrive...
... and as the festivities pass by quickly, we quickly find the candles being blown out already!
Hortensio is happy to officially leave the diapers behind him - it's off to the school benches with ya!
His bedroom goes down the Family Fun road too - but for Hortensio time it's medieval!
Hortensio is also quick to want a lemonade stand - and soon enough he's hogging it while the party goes on indoors.
Things escalate quickly however, as Bianca and Cyd's friend Kent Capp gets in a physical altercation with Antonio Monty!
Antonio manages to fight Kent off...
... but at least there's no fatalities here.
There's also room for love at the party, as Victor Lillard, Curtis Ryan, Dave and Carla Zuimelhof demonstrate here... In a way it's kinda symbolic for Veronaville that the fighting happens in the broad light and the love has to happen in the dark.
Anyways, the love is enough to make the party an overall success.
And when the entire party is cleaned up, Cyd is the last one to call it a day.
Luckily it's a Saturday the next morning, which means Cyd has all the time to sleep in!
Meanwhile, Bianca and the kids are enjoying a nice family breakfast of pancakes together.
Soon enough though Bianca has to head of to her job at the Monty restaurant, which is opened on weekends.
Cyd and the kids entertain themselves...
Hortensio even makes his first lemonade sale to Ralph Enriquez.
In the afternoon it's time to spice their lives a bit up - time to visit a community lot!
The Sims who are on location already promise... interesting results.
Ayup, Goneril Capp made Samantha Monty cry already.
While Cyd's having lunch, Minola's talking to her step niece Charlotte Ottomas and Hortensio is playing with Porthos, Goneril goes for Samantha's jugular again.
Goneril wins!
Results for this round:
Capps - Montys
2 - 1
With some of the other characters leaving, things quiet down a bit - so Hortensio asks his dad to swing him around to liven the place up a bit!
Soon enough it is time for the family to go home...
Being tired from the day out, the kids are quick to go to bed while Cyd tidies up the place a bit.
So that when Bianca comes back home from work they can focus on some more quality time together.
Soon enough they end up in the bedroom - and Bianca may have ulterior motives...
Things turn for the cold however once the couple ends up in the bathroom...
Cyd was not happy.
Yet soon enough he got his revenge on Bianca...
During the evening the family has some time for themselves, as Cyd has a brain boost on his creativity.
... soon followed by Hortensio and Minola both earning a logic skill point each together.
Soon enough it is dinner time already...
... followed by more skilling!
Not sure why I clicked her want to learn anger management, because I clearly recall her reading up on fire safety instead - a good skill for the kitchen-oriented Montys.
Minola and Hortensio end up with more skill points...
... and Porthos ends up with more tricks up his sleeve.
After both of the kids reach 3 logic skill points each it's time to call it a day for them and send them to bed.
Followed soon enough by their Cyd, and then Bianca. But... is she expecting a third child now?
We'll only see next round, as we've hit the Summer for this round and it is time to move on to our next household - consisting of Kent Capp and his roommate Adrian Lewis. Will their starting romance blossom into an official commitment?
To be continued
