Picaso Family
Previously at the Picaso Family: Matthew and Jessica moved in to Veronaville and were quick to make friends with Trent and Trisha Traveller. While Matthew went on the social tour, Jessica focused on her garden and several attempts to have a baby with Matthew. But why has it not worked out so far...
Matthew - Athletic, Computer Whiz, Dislikes Children, Slob, Supernatural Skeptic
Jessica - Eco-Friendly, Family-Oriented, Good, Green Thumb, Loser
Huh... I guess Matthew somehow sabotaged the tries...
Guess that Jessica's marriage to Matthew resulted in yet another loss for her.
Jessica herself hasn't realised it yet, however. She has to go do the work first!
Back home Matthew got promoted, while Jessica hasn't yet.
Time to focus on the garden...
... and do a bit of housework...
... while Matthew scores a few body skill points!
While the hubby's still training, Jessica decided to go on a walk... and didn't get the result she was hoping for...
The sun started to set, and the Picasos' evening ritual begins.
... up until Jessica fell asleep face first in her mac n cheese...
Matthew isn't sure what to make out of this...
Matthew eventually settles on letting his wife sleep, cleaning up the stove, and going to bed himself...
... leaving Jessica all by herself when she wakes up.
Time to call it a night.
A new morning breaks.
A new day where the military duty is calling.
Jessica has to deal with the worst group of military recruits ever, and decides to replace their weapons with baguettes!
It.. somehow works out?
She's back home early with a promotion!
Matthew meanwhile found himself in his own situation.
He manages to make it to counter intelligence!
Two promotions are good for the household funds!
Matthew throws a party to celebrate!
While the guests barge in...
... Jessica tends her garden - which she wasn't able to do earlier this morning.
Welp - thanks Trisha.
Matthew tries to talk a bit to Titania.. but perhaps he made an awkward remark about her fairyness, she seems unimpressed.
Perhaps a good old prank may cheer her up right? All fairies love pranks right?
... or not. Not that it bothers Matthew.
Perhaps Matthew has to let others do the talking.
It works out well enough.
Jessica meanwhile went outside to pursue her passion for nature.
Her dreams of expanding the garden keep on growing...
Matthew has other plans however.
There's a big downtown to explore and Matthew is getting a little stir crazy.
Why not visit the internet cafƩ? It's been a while since he had his gaming fix. . .
After arriving...
He immediately buys himself the 'latest' Fifa game...
Time to start a gaming tournament.
... that is, if anyone else would bother joining.
Might as well grab a coffee instead.
While Matthew is enjoying his coffee...
... Mercutio Monty finds himself in trouble with Brittany the garden club member!
At least some other Sims come to his defence.
But then, Goneril Capp comes for Mercutio's throat!
*Screaming and yelling, yelling and screaming*
"Hmm I wonder what that Baked Alaska would taste like?"
Goneril came out victorious!
No jail time awaits her however.
Matthew finally gets his Baked Alaska...
... but decides to avoid the bill!
A quick rush to the bathroom, he thinks, will safe him some pennies...
... but alas, the host caught him slip away.
This time it was Goneril's turn to be beaten up by Mercutio.
Luckily for Mercutio he won't be joining his nemesis Tybalt in jail... that'd get heated in there.
Time to get out before the place burns down.
-- but before the taxi arrives, perhaps grab a new gaming system from the gadget kiosk!
That may compensate for the lack of consoles at home...
Time to go home!
And at home we find...
... a broken TV. It should get fixed.
Til then Matthew plays some video games...
... before joining Jessica in bed.
The next morning Matthew got up early, eager to earn some logic skill.
I wonder if he'd like a new telescope?
Not only does he earn a logic skill point...
... he also discovers a new star!
After he and Jessica talk about his new console...
... the carpool arrives for Matthew, giving Jessica some alone time.
She spends this time... burning the toast.
Welp.
After dealing with the repairman...
... Jessica deals again with the garden and the bugs that got on her beautiful plants!
They don't look too good, sadly. So much for Jessica's green thumb.
Perhaps a visit to the Veronaville Market may cheer her up?
Looks like there's a crowd...
... though sadly a stray cat walking by isn't interested in being pet by Jessica. . .
At least Bottom Summerdream is around for Jessica to hang out with.
All while Juliette Capp is harassing Minola Roseland, who is a far relative of the Montys and therefore on her hate list now.
Not paying mind to those two, Jessica went to do some clothes shopping.
After officially making the purchase...
... she updated her outfit!
Bottom seems to appreciate Jessica's grilling - and this time she doesn't burn her food!
Thus, several people at the Market enjoy the food.
Grilling and working in the garden earlier did do some disasters for Jessica's hygiene...
... time to go back home at once!
A little later, Matthew goes back home too!
"Sorry Bottom, Jess is *ahem* asleep..."
Matthew takes this time to himself to call up some acquaintances.
He then grabs himself some dinner...
... while Jessica tends the garden again...
... and takes care of the leaf piles for the matter.
After a long and tiring day it's time to hit the hay at last.
Andd then a new dawn is breaking.
A new day for Matthew to go to work while Jessica does more yardwork.
She... burns her toaster pastries again.
And welp, groceries are running low...
šµ The Veronaville Market šµ
šµ The crooowds have arrived šµ
šµ Jessica buys her some grocerieees šµ
šµ And then she talks to the neighbours šµ
šµ Which does not go weeeell šµ
Like..
šµ Reeeeaally doesn't go weeell šµ
šµ So she goes back home again šµ
After inserting her groceries in the fridge...
... Matthew comes home from the mission!
He comes back home to play a little game with Jessica.
But then... a group of ladies about Jessica's age come walking by.
Perhaps Jessica has a shot to make a few friends now.
Doing the garden is also a priority though.
It's in dire need of a cleanup.
Mwuahahahah.
NGL a fire would spice the game up a bit.
After letting her inner pyromaniac run amok, Jessica goes inside to talk a little more with her guests.
She also earns herself a cooking skill point...
... while making them dinner!
While Jessica hangs out with her guests a bit more...
... Matthew wants to buy himself a car.
There we go!
Let's go on a joyride!
After coming back, Matthew finds the guests gone, and Jessica in bed, so he joins her to sleep...
The next morning... it's 6am, the carpool arrives, and the winter season is officially here! Our signal to leave the Picasos be for now.
Next time we'll catch up on the off the grid life of Julien Cooke!
