The pleasant? Tods

Shayla, who looks even more slutty than she ever has, has gone off to university.  Amazingly she did her homework.

Zeezee, her young brother, has grown into a teenager.

Hayden still hasn’t reached elderhood.

Older brother Mo, quit university and moved into an apartment block with Buck Broke.  (See Buck’s story at the Broke blog.)

Mo didn’t have a girlfriend so tried for a blind date.  She moved in and I think this pic is of them getting married in the apartment.

Unfortunately I can’t remember her name!  Mo has the surname Pleasant because Banshee wasn’t married to Hayden at the time she gave birth.  Will Mo inherit the Pleasant house, or will Ramone Pleasant’s son (by Juan Lothario), Vanni Pleasant, inherit?  Hmmm…

Cheating

Nothing much happening with Ramone and Banshee.

Bansheee’s husband, Hayden, though, is cheating on his wife with some redheaded chick and went out on a date with her.

Growin’ up at Banshee’s

Mo had had enough of the family and headed off to university.  The timing was fortunate for little Zeezee who grew into school age,

as it was basically only Mo who had looked after him.

Shayla’s hair is now bright red.

Banshee tried for another baby and Hayden was thankful that the attempt was not successful.

Hayden, meanwhile, has begun flirting with a neighbour.

Banshee was asleep at the time so Hayden hasn’t been found out yet.

Nothin’ happening at Ramone’s.

Three birthdays

Ramone Pleasant became an elder.

She needs a visit to a hairdressers and clothing shop.

At Banshee’s place, Zeezee was learning to entertain himself.

As predicted, Mo ended up looking after his baby brother much of the time.

Shayla, left to her own devices, got into her mother’s makeup.

A sign of things to come perhaps.

The other birthdays?

Carol’s baby, Veena, became a toddler.

Aunty Michaela back from work helps Veena with her birthday

Carol herself grew into an elder at the same time.

Elder and toddler

Veena takes after the Caliente sisters, one of which is her grandmother.

The sad lives of the Banshee brood

Banshee continued being an awful mother.  She kept laughing at her tired and dirty toddler.  I tried to get her to put Shayla in the cot but she wouldn’t.  She just stood and laughed.

Mo tried his best to entertain his little sister,

but usually she was too tired to care and just cried.

He was worried about her (while his mother laughed).

Note the new baby on the floor beside her.  He didn’t get much attention either.  Banshee’s idea of spending time with him included taking him outside to watch the clouds (in winter).

It was then Shayla’s birthday but that got ignored as well.

Banshee had also forgotten about the baby – still outside.

It was Mo’s birthday next.  He was used to being on his own.

At least now he could help look after the baby.

The next birthday to come was little Zeezee’s.

As soon as he became a toddler, Banshee put him down and helped herself to cake.  She’s the most selfish Sim mother ever.

And yet she wants another baby!  She’s not getting one.

Vanni growing up

Vanni Pleasant, unlike his cousin Shayla, learned to walk and was potty trained.  He was a happy kid, despite the idiocy of his nanny.  At one point his nanny put him in the high chair then took him out about twenty times – in, out, in, out, in, out…  Luckily he wasn’t hungry, but his nanny needed to visit the toilet.  Instead of doing so, she peed on the floor before leaving.

Disgustingly, Vanni played in her urine…

Vanni grew up well.

He’s a good-looking kid.

Aunt Ophelia taught him how to play chess while discussing the state of the world.

Both Ramone and Ophelia Dreamer are heading for elderhood fairly soon.

Lotharios

In stark contrast to Shayla, her cousin, Vanni, was a happy kid, looked after by his mum and auntie Ophelia.

He didn’t need a dad, who was busy in any case…

No matter that the ‘victim’ of his charms was his own brother’s wife, Carol.

Carol’s legitimate son, Luciano, grew to toddlerhood.

Juan’s other lover, Carol’s cousin Michaela, gave birth to Juan’s second son, Gino. 

Carol, incidentally, is now carrying Juan’s third illegitimate child.  Juan’s worse than his (now deceased) dad.

Neglect

Banshee’s daughter, Shayla, was having a pretty miserable toddlerhood. 

Banshee doesn’t care a fig about kids and yet she wants 10!  She was pregnant with number 3 and Mo was around to witness the birth.

The new baby, another black boy, was named Zeezee.

Shayla, meanwhile was continuing to be ignored.  Banshee actually laughed at poor Shayla who was tired and dirty.

Eventually the smell got to Banshee.

Shayla actually fell asleep on the floor but woke up.  I think Banshee actually changed her nappy and put her in her cot.  Finally.

Shayla

Following on from the last post, it was inevitable that baby Shayla would be forgotten.

Hayden found her in time for her birthday though.

Being a toddler didn’t improve the neglect though.

Shayla’s cousin, Vanni, also grew to toddlerhood.  ‘Auntie’ Ophelia was there for his birthday.

Babies

Mo played on happily, ignoring, as everyone seemed to do, the new baby.

Banshee had given birth to a white baby, a girl she named Shayla.  The baby got fed but mostly everyone ignored her crying for a clean nappy.  Banshee spent most of her time dancing.  The baby had her father’s surname, Todd.

Ramone gave birth about a day later to a boy.

She called him Vanni.  She loved looking after him.

The father, meanwhile, was busy elsewhere.
