Hermia Capp's
Previously at Hermia Capp's: Finally out of the Capp compound, Hermia tied the knot with Randy so she can start a family of her own with him. Having an honoured degree, a high tier job in the family business and a solid house on her, luck seems to be smiling on her.
The first morning after their honeymoon is upon Hermia and Randy.
After waking up, Hermia spends her time playing the bass...
... and gains a skill point for creativity right before work.
While getting in her carpool, Randy is enjoying his time jumping rope.
He also earns a skill point for body before heading off for his job.
At work Hermia faces the same situation her aunt Goneril found herself in... Goneril decided to stick to the Capp Company and earned herself the bitter realisation that the family company offered little prospects to progress her career.
So what if Hermia decided to go for it?
Well well well, who knew jumping ship from the Capp Company would pay off so well?
Welcome home Hermia!
... that is, her new work hours are still running, what if we send her back?
Randy comes back as well - he also got a promotion!
After Randy deals with a prank caller...
... Hermia.. finds herself now on a different end in the situation she and Goneril were in. Being a new addition to Microscotch, Hermia decides to handle this situation with trust instead...
... and then finds herself approached by EveryTech and offered the job herself. One signature later and Hermia is CEO of both Microscotch and EveryTech.
This makes her a Business Tycoon!
Having reached the top and having made a lot of bonus money in the process, what's a late 20-something gotta do?

Move houses of course.
Hermia's new abode has a spacious porch, a comfy formal meeting nook followed by a cosy reading corner by the fireplace...
Behind the staircase lies a lavatory, the kitchen and a dining nook.
Upstairs are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, perfect for a couple that has wishes to expand their family.
The back porch has a good view on the back gardens, with an easel ready to capture all of its glory.
Because it's the first night of winter coming up, Hermia grabs the phone and invites over some people for the New Year's Celebration.
After a small, loving gesture together...
... Hermia and Randy spend their time building skills.
Randy even earns a Logic Skill poimt.
He also tries out the new telescope...
... and discovers a new star with it!
Right before the party Hermia orders a pizza...
... and then she lights a fire to build some ambience.
The guests have arrived, and Adrian immediately displays his Adrianness by poking Miss Artie Stique in the chest.
Hermia tries to butter her sister Juliette up a little after jumping ship and leaving the Capp Company.
Her socialisations get interrupted however, by the doorbell sound announcing the pizza.
While Hermia is helping herself to a slice of pizza, Adrian keeps being a douchebag to the guests.
While Hermia is playing the bass, her bond with her brother Tybalt is deteriorating due to the latter's time spent away in jail.
But then again, Tybalt's been a main player in the family feud situation that Hermia is wary of, and considering Hermia's in a successful place in her life she needn't to worry about that.
Instead she would much rather watch Father Time cause a ruckus!
He raises his hourglass...
... and smashes it on the ground...
... turning into Toddler New Year successfully for the first time this round!
He does his little dance...
... and then takes his hat off to wave a little goodbye to the party guests.
But wait, what's this? Oberon and Regan seem to be getting the hots for each other...
We'll have to see what comes of that later, as the party must come to an end...
... and with everybody gone...
... it is time for Hermia and Randy to continue their love together.
They retire to their bedroom...
... and move things under the covers.
After the late night up, the two sleep in through the next morning.
Good thing for Randy that he's got the day off, which means he can help provide Hermia get ready for her first day on the job by baking her some pancakes.
Hermia is off to her first day as a Business Tycoon.
This leaves Randy to hire a gardener for their backyard's maintenance...
... and to take care of the bills...
... before dressing himself in attire a little more appropriate for the cold of Winter.
Having a bit of free time to himself, Randy indulges himself in the tactical warfare on the chess table and earns himself a skill point.
Hermia... gets ANOTHER chance card.
She decides to go for the economically long term investment and manages to get a fair share of the cut.
Though deep on the inside, she'd rather read a book with Randy near the fireplace.
Who, by the way, just earned himself a cooking skill point.
Home sweet home!
... and I think that's morning sickness for Hermia!
After answering a call for Randy...
... Hermia hits the kitchen and makes some soup.
She and Randy enjoy themselves some soup...
... followed by a call from a Downtownie. Sorry my man, we want to take it easy tonight.
After sharing time reminiscing about their time in the secret society...
... Hermia invests in fitness machinery.
She works out and earns herself a skill point for body!
Another day over...
... another good night's rest.
That is, until Hermia gets her first baby bump!
After sunrise the two expecting parents share some leftover pancakes for breakfast.
After getting a massage from Randy...
... Hermia treats herself to a late morning nap...
... while Randy learns a few new cooking techniques.
Randy then receives a call from Titania Summerdream!
They talk a bit, and soon enough he and Titania find themselves in a friendship.
Hermia poses for the painting Ariel painted for her.
She then comes downstairs and plays a bit of chess with Randy.
Their battle of wits and minds gets interrupted by a phone call from a college friend of Hermia's.
She does have a computer prototype for Hermia, and somehow manages to send the thing through the telephone connection into Hermia's pockets.
While Hermia builds best friendship with Tara, Randy continues the chess match on his lonesome and earns himself a logic skill point.
The two of them then have a salad together for dinner.
... followed by Randy looking at the night sky again.
Hermia accidentally broke the bathtub right before bed, and Randy decides to give it his best shot.
Despite having only 1 mechanical skill point, he pulls it off and then follows his wife to bed.
A new morning is upon Hermia and Randy.
The first thing that happens is the second baby bump kicking in, meaning the baby is only a day away...
If Winter lasts long enough... then Hermia may give birth at the end of this round.
Before we get there however, we still need to play throughout the day.
And this day Randy has to leave for work again.
This means Hermia is free to play some video games by herself.
After dealing with a caller who wanted to speak Randy...
... Hermia works on her Tai Chi a little.
While Hermia has started working on her charisma, Randy comes home from work with another promotion in the bag.
After taking care of the bills...
... Randy answers a call from Carla Zuimelhof, making best friends with her.
After Hermia earns her coveted skill point...
... she and Randy have dinner together.
Randy then goes and practises his Tai Chi...
... followed by another plate of pork chops.
After finishing his late meal, he joins Hermia in bed.
The next morning he and Hermia got up early in the glow of the Springtime sun...
... the two of them hold hands together.. but Hermia's waters have not broken yet, meaning that we'll move on to the next family, and have something to look forward to once we return to Hermia's house.
Plenty of time for the hardest task ever in The Sims - coming up with baby names...
