Round 6-9 (Norman-Mace-Ryan)





The Norman-Mace-Ryan Household
After Mallory Mace moved in with Miranda, the two sought for room to leave the flop house. They learned that their friends Curtis and Victor Ryan were also looking to move out of their apartment, which lead to them...



... moving together to a place that has two houses on one lot, so that each couple has their own space. Both of those houses seem a bit bare however... 

Guess what I'm thinking?

Let's start off with the Ryan residence! I packed most of their previous belongings and put them up in here. A seating area with a TV is surrounding the fireplace now and the kitchen has more breathing space now. In the back is a small hallway leading to the backyard and...



... upstairs - where there's room for 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and some office space that can be converted into another bedroom, may the need arise... 



The other house is Miranda and Mallory's - The few belongings they had have been used here with some new purchases as well. Overall the place is going for a darker, more alternative vibe which fits Mallory and Miranda well.



Upstairs there's room for two bedrooms and a bathroom, also giving them the option to add a child to the family.



With all that said and done, it's time to check on the new personality traits all of these Sims got:

Miranda - Hopeless Romantic, Rebellious, Ambitious, Bookworm, Friendly
Mallory - Artistic, Charismatic, Couch Potato, Hopeless Romantic, Rebellious
Curtis - Adventurous, Disciplined, Heavy Sleeper, Loner, Perfectionist
Victor - Athletic, Can't Stand Art, Disciplined, Eco-Friendly, Green Thumb



With the entire new round started, we'll start things off with a dip in the new backyard pool to get everyone in top shape! Though Victor does need to get to work immediately after...



At least Curtis is able to get in peak shape, while Mallory earns herself a skill point for body.



Realising that this place is really large with two houses, Curtis decides to hire a maid to give them an easier time keeping it clean.



The maid's arrival got paired with bills. Woop woop.



Victor finds himself in a dilemma at work.



He decides to do what is the just thing. His reward is SPACE!



Welcome back home with a big paycheck Victor!



Now, would you please be so kind to take care of the bills?



Means the girlies can work on becoming more fit!



Oh? Miranda is available, yes.



You just have to wait til she finishes her buff animation!



Despite his husband not being into art, Curtis decides to try painting...



He's busy painting that easel while the girlies go to bed...



- aww they're cuddling - 



... and Victor does some more exercising...



... in order to get another skill point for Body.



After a nice nap...



... Miranda and Mallory decide to head out...



... and go on a date together while the boys stay inside at home.



Let's see what The Hub has in offer tonight?



A table for two, to get started with.



"Ma'am are you alright?"
"Yeah, just wanted to sit next to my girl."



"What would you like to eat?"



"Spaghetti and lemon prawns thanks. "
"Here you go."



For some reason Mallory and Miranda seem to be drawing a crowd.



How to stop being crowded by them?



Hopefully the dance floor will fix that!



While the girls are warming up the dance floor...



... Titania Summerdream seems to have a one-on-one encounter with the tray.



Dang that guy with the army pants is crowding our ladies again.



And now he's fighting with the other people in the club.



"Soo, what's your name sir?"



"Oh, I'm --krrzztaaaAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"



Both our girlies had to visit the bathroom. But Miranda got unlucky with people crowding in there. 



She literally cannot leave her stall!



It took some action by Mallory to fix the issue.



To celebrate the liberation of Miranda, the two girlies had one more makeout session...



... before the date came to an end.



Mallory also noticed the guy in the army pants staring and decided to give him a warm welcome...



.. to 'HAHAHA you FELL for it AGAIN'-land.



"Hey! Watch it you brat!"



"Nah, YOU watch it you creep!"



One taxicab later...



... and Mallory and Miranda were back in bed...



... ready for one last woohoo before sleeping in!



The guys also retired for the day.



The next morning, Victor got up nice and early for a bath before work.



Curtis baked him some omelettes, though Victor was in a bit too much of a hurry to have a seat at the table.



While the girls are having pancakes...



... Victor puts on his new space suit and goes to work for his first day in SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!



Mallory is off too, leaving Miranda to work on her novel...



... and Curtis to work on his painting.



The two took lunch breaks from their creative crafts when the phone rings...



... you know what, let's try out one of those hobby subscriptions for once.



Mallory and Victor came home from work, Mallory with another promotion.



The poor astronaut however could only cower for the powerful might of the wolf.



Sorry man, Mallory's busy (swimming).



At least Victor got time to talk a bit with his friend Pamela Landry.



Mallory got another skill point...



... giving her the ultimate buff body...



... while also fawning at Miranda's body.



Curtis joined his fourth hobby club!



Miranda meanwhile joins the Free Meal club!



§456 not bad!



The boys...



... are going out on a jog.



This leaves Miranda and Mallory a bit of time for themselves. Miranda gets herself a point for creativity in the process.



Coming back from his jog, Curtis is BEAT and hits the hay early.



After Mallory leaves for her DJing gig...



... Miranda hits the hay for the night.



After Curtis pops out of bed again to wash off...



... he hits the hay next to Victor too.



Mallory returns - with a promotion that puts her on the evening shift instead.



She, of course, heads to bed as well.



Not long after it's Victor getting up - and he really needs the bathroom.



Curtis is ready to grab some groceries-- but the fridge is empty.



After gobbling down on some leftovers, he heads to the Veronaville Market.



Time to do some groceries...



.. and mayhaps have a bite of his own before heading home.



Time to go back...



... and put the stuff back in the fridge.



Mallory is in the mood to spend some time with Miranda before her shift begins.



Time to go on a walk...



... to the Veronaville Market again.



While Miranda and Mallory share a hug, Minola Roseland gets beef with a deer.



And of course the changing booth is visited.



And after Mercutio saw them earlier it's now Mercutio's wife Carla catching them in the act.



The two of them then move up to the balcony above the grocer.



Here Mallory goes down on her knee.




"Will you marry me?"



"Oh! Yes yes yes!"



The ring is a sparkling beauty!



"Oh hi, I just saw the two of you woohoo in the clothes thing, congrats on your engagement!"
"Oh uhh.. thanks!"



The newly engageds decide to end their date right there at the peak.



Time to go home...



... and cool off in the pool for a bit- oh Mallory, you got a call.



Oh.. hmm we just got home from going out, maybe not go Downtown.



Miranda crawled out from the pool to deliver a bouquet of flowers - only to flex her muscles once again.



Back inside she reads a book about Mechanical things - and then the skill points tend to come in quickly.



    Mallory then took some time to work on her friendship with Victor...




... and her charisma skills...



... juuust in time before the carpool arrived for her.
She's only one skill point away from being able to reach the top of the career.



While Mallory was at work, Miranda finished her novel.



T'was a great sell!



And there the delivery fan is.



A literary achievement added to the library.



The boys go to bed.



Miranda goes to bed.



And Mallory comes back home with another promotion, putting her back on the day shift!



Time to get some much needed rest.



Miranda got up early, feeling the need to read her own novel.



This triggered a desire to write another one!



Victor decides to go on a jog by himself.



While he's away, and Curtis is cooking breakfast, Miranda spots her step-father passing by. 

"Oh god your presence literally chased off the good weather we had!"



When Peter left the sun returned, which lured in Mallory's carpool.



The day passes by fine and dandily.



Mallory takes the time to start her new novel.



Meanwhile Curtis sells not just any painting...



... but a masterpiece of his own craftmanship!



I took the time to redecorate the back yard a little.



No sorry, Mallory is not here.



... NOW she's here. With another promotion!



There's no spare time for calls however - we got matters to take care of...



Many guests arrive at the house...



... for it is time for the wedding!



As the sun is about to depart underneath the horizon...



... Mallory and Miranda declare themselves Wife and Wife...



... and seal this commitment with a kiss.



Though both would rather keep their own names.



Though truth be told - both of them seem to be into Titania as well.



After kissing each other again...



... Miranda goes and cuts the cake.



She gently feeds Mallory a bite.



Dangit Hal - what is it with you and your baby brother outing your inner frustrations on Hermia.



Despite that fight, the wedding party is a smooth operation, with a good picture of a candlelight cake consumption.



Curtis learned the basics of Tai Chi just as the party ended.



Not all the guests were eager to leave however. Some of them needed to use the toilet - despite Mallory having a bath already.

"Sorry folks, party's over"

 

The newlyweds share their bed for a cuddle session...



... while Victor got up early again due to a full bladder.



He decides to expand his early rise with another dip in the pool...



... where he keeps on floating and swimming until the sun rises again and the winter breeze hits the household.

We'll have to wait and see when, if and how these families will have children. Because it is time to move on to the next household: Tybalt Capp and Amy Platz! Will Amy's plan to make a bit of peace between Tybalt and the Monty brothers work out?

To be continued
