The happening

Round 16: Days 76-80


Narrated by Arianna Moretti

The other night, I took Tatiana to Dragonfly, the new Japanese restaurant in Exeter. I used the opportunity to strike up a conversation with some new people. Or I attempted to anyway. This guy completely ignored me.

So. central rain

Round 14: Days 66-70


Narrated by Simona Moretti

So my daughter Arianna finally went into labour.

I was hoping I'd be able to be by her side as a kind of birth coach or something but as it happened, Arianna was up very early that morning and was downstairs before Jonah or I had woken up. I was certainly shocked when I looked over the banister and saw what was happening!

Miss Lucifer

Round 13: Days 61-65

Jonah probably should have been a bit more suspicious when he saw Galen hanging around outside his farm.

Porcelina of the vast oceans

Round 12: Days 56-60

Since her recent promotion to manager, Drusilla had been hard at work trying to earn her gold badge in pottery. She didn't have a wheel at home, so she read about different techniques on the internet instead.

Black and blonde

Round 12: Days 56-60
When Arianna woke up on Sunday morning, she missed her brother and twin sister and started to wonder if maybe she should have worked harder at school and gone to college with them. She was also unemployed. The law firm she worked at during school was happy to keep her on as a teen but were unwilling to pay her adult wages now, unless she went to college and earned a degree. Which definitely wasn't happening.

Nothing special

Round 12: Days 56-60
Brandon started this round with a bit of bad luck. He was late one too many times and was fired from his job in Counter Intelligence. His workplace was pretty far from the farm but the higher-ups did not accept that as an excuse. At least the farm was still profitable and Leontine was still employed.

Sunken treasure

Round 11: Days 51-55
Isaac was still continuing his affairs with the various women he'd meet at the restaurant he worked at. He usually didn't see them more than once.

Work out fine

Round 11: Days 51-55

Since being promoted to Education Minister, Simona has found herself with a lot of extra free time. She's home a few days a week now and she spends a lot of that time bonding with TJ.

Once in a lifetime

Round 11: Days 51-55
The round didn't start out well for Brandon and Leontine. Mold had been discovered in the walls and had destroyed much of their furniture. They had to move out temporarily and rebuy most of their furniture.

Round 9: Days 41-45
On Saturday morning, Elias leaves Nathalie in their new apartment to set up and watch the kids.

Round 9: Days 41-45
On Saturday evening, Simona invited Icarus Quincy, the headmaster at the local private school, for dinner, hoping to get her three children in. Filippo is a bit young but they can save a spot for him. The headmaster was super-impressed with the Morettis' sparkly food and the kids were all accepted.

The perfect family

Round 8: Days 36-40


Simona Moretti isn't enjoying the last trimester of her pregnancy. She looks displeased with it even in her dreams.

Jonah and Simona become parents

Round 7: Days 31-35


While a showdown between the cop and the burglar was happening on the front porch...

The Draper farm gets a name change

Round 6: Days 26-30



It's now the Moretti farm. I want to see if I can keep all the surnames around, so Simona will be giving the Moretti name to any children. Seeing most people in the house will be Morettis, it didn't make much sense to keep calling it the Draper farm.

Down at said farm, Jonah has moved back in and brought his girlfriend Simona with him (she's telling him about her beach vacation here). Simona toned down her look a bit when she graduated. Her LTW is to become the Minister of Education - so she has a softer hairstyle and lighter make-up. She still has her nose stud though.

She wasn't completely thrilled about the prospect of manual labour but Jonah promised her he'll do the bulk of it, so she tried not to complain. Much.

Jonah and Simona soon decided they were ready to become parents, so here they are eagerly awaiting the new arrival.

For your information, neither of them have had the want to get married, which is really unusual for Knowledge Sims in my game. They're usually almost as eager as Family Sims to settle down. But anyway, they won't marry until one of them lets me know they want to.

I told you I was lucky with these genie lamps! Raffaella still has an unused one in her inventory that her nonna gave her before she died and Kristina Novak has one stashed away too. Anyway, Jonah and Simona really needed the cash because they did up the living room a bit and would like to do the rest of the house. It was very bare bones while Angelica was raising the boys, because they needed the money for more important things. It's much more inviting now.

Watch out Suffolk, here come Nathalie and Petra!

Round 5: College
(Jonah, Simona, Lukas, Nathalie, Petra, Raffaella and Elias)


Plus three other teens! During this rotation, I sent 5 kids to college - Lukas Novak, Nathalie and Petra Gottlieb, Raffaella Moretti and Elias Draper. Isaac Draper decided he didn't want to go, so he didn't.
Nathalie gets a little house on campus with her boyfriend Elias. And dyes her hair brown.


Raffaella and Lukas got a house together too. They were able to afford a rather pricey one (about $9000 rental, fully furnished), because Raffaella earned an insane 8 scholarships, while Lukas earned 6.

Petra has enrolled at Suffolk too, but is stuck in the dorms. Seeing Isaac decided not to go to college and she's only got $4000 of her own money, she can't afford to rent any of the little houses lining Coxon Way.

For some reason, Petra rolls the want to get engaged to Isaac pretty much as soon as she gets to the dorm. I indulge her but I don't know how well this will end. She really is the oddest little Romance Sim I've ever had.

Jonah and Simona were finishing up their last two years of college when this new influx arrived and were still spending a lot of time at Stanhope Library. No point to this pic at all, except I like how the library looks here.

Simona was dying for Raffaella to join them at college, so she was excited to finally run into her little sis while studying up for her finals. It's a shame they were only together at college for two years, because they really get along so, so well.

Jonah and Simona enroll at Suffolk

Last update: Simona/Jonah
Next update

When Jonah and Simona move to college, I realise they're a match made in heaven (they really are too - 3 bolts!)

Still love this interaction. One of my favourite additions with AL.

It wasn't all lazy mornings in bed, unfortunately. They also spent lots of time at the library, working on their assignments and term papers. Doesn't Simona look thrilled here?

More from the Morettis

How cute was Raffaella as a toddler? She's still pretty cute now. She's a Nature Sim, by the way, so this was very fitting.

A catch-up with the Drapers

last update/next update/Jonah's next update


Well, here's a cheery scene to start the post. Angelica died about 17 days into Sullivan's run. She'd done a great job with the boys, who had all aged to teen by this point.

The Drapers move in


And now a family you have not met, the Drapers. Angelica is raising her grandsons, Jonah, Elias and Isaac after the death of their mother. I gave her an extra 5 days to live to guarantee that she'd at least live until Jonah starts high school. This family was kind of chaotic, because Elias and Isaac started out as toddlers and much time was spent on trying to fully train them (success, by the way) and not as much time on was spent on photos.

It took me so long to tell them apart at a glance, even though they had different hair colours. But now, I can tell you that Elias has the black hair and Isaac has brown.
