Victoria has enough on her plate right now without her mum's criticism.<br /><br />LOL, I don't think I've ever skipped out on a bill accidentally! I seem to remember accidentally shoplifting once, though I can't recall how or even if it was in TS1 or TS2!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-39161026098520852052010-02-13T13:58:22.334+11:002010-02-13T13:58:22.334+11:00Awww, poor Victoria!

It may not be the best situation, but it's happened and there's nothing to change it now. It's best just to get used to it and move on!<br /><br />LOL at Rebecca running out on the bill! I have yet to have a sim do it on purpose. I had it happen, by accident, way back after I first got the expansion!Maohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055085789427987065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-30979896522001667492010-02-13T09:10:36.418+11:002010-02-13T09:10:36.418+11:00Oops, I did mean to type Sari in that last comment...Oops, I did mean to type <b>Sari</b> in that last comment!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-86501969180936041352010-02-13T09:09:50.092+11:002010-02-13T09:09:50.092+11:00Cissie, seeing Rebecca probably would have continu...<b>Cissie</b>, seeing Rebecca probably would have continued her little game had she not been caught at her uncle's restaurant, you're probably right! But she's only 12, so hopefully she'll mature a little over the next few years.<br /><br />And Megan is definitely being the immature one here, although I don't know if she sees it quite that way. She knows she's wrong though, she just needs to admit it. <br /><br /><b>Shana</b>, I think Trent's made some headway with Megan, so maybe she can move forward a little more when I play Finn and Victoria. I know I mentioned in my notes that Finn called Megan out of the blue but I had to duck into the Kirby house again while I was playing Claudia last night, Finn called Megan <i>again</i>! I was only in the house for 5 minutes, so it sounds like Megan has Finn on her back about this too! Hopefully, she'll cave soon!<br /><br />LOL, yes, Megan might need to concentrate more on her youngest daughter! Victoria isn't hassling local businesses at least! I think I succeeded once with that ROS, with Henry and Araminta. It works better if you do it at a really big restaurant, because the host is more likely to be away from their station for longer.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-14520635377337115802010-02-13T08:10:07.705+11:002010-02-13T08:10:07.705+11:00I hope Megan and Victoria can work things out.

And at least Victoria has a great guy who is there with her helping out with the baby.<br /><br />lol, Rebecca is a wild one. Maybe Rebecca will give Megan so much to worry about that she'll stop being so angry with Victoria, lol! That ROS is fun, but very hard to do successfully!Shanahttp://pinehollow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-74195221867636535242010-02-12T21:18:08.832+11:002010-02-12T21:18:08.832+11:00The picture of Trent bringing Rebecca home is pric...The picture of Trent bringing Rebecca home is priceless. She looks more sorry for getting caught than for what actually she did. It's good that she has to work in his father's shop to make amends.<br /><br />Megan annoys me so much! She's supposed to be the grown-up here. Get over it already, woman!Sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475614188928695076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-927850147132655452010-02-12T18:49:37.222+11:002010-02-12T18:49:37.222+11:00Thanks everyone!
Maisie, tentatively, the next De...Thanks everyone!<br /><br /><b>Maisie</b>, tentatively, the next Declan update will be on Wednesday, though he'll make a cameo in Claudia's update on Monday.<br /><br />Trent has always liked Finn, even when he was a teen. They're both maxed out in nice points, so they have that in common.<br /><br />Megan might be a tougher nut to crack but I hope she'll get there eventually. That's exactly it - all is said and done, Declan's already here so she'd best get on with her new role of doting grandmother.<br /><br />Skipping out on the bill is tricky! You have to wait until the host is showing someone to a table and then sneak past their station. Even then, it's difficult!<br /><br /><b>Riverdale</b>, Victoria is definitely missing her mother right now and I'll touch on that when I do Victoria's update. She really does want things to go back to normal with her mum. <br /><br />I don't know about that Rebecca though! I think it's a youngest child thing - they tend to be the ones who push the boundaries as much as they can and really test their parents' patience! Heh, can you tell I'm the eldest in my family? I'm a tad biased!<br /><br /><b>Lunar</b>, Megan was a townie that I made and if you check her personality, she's got like 8 playful points but she never acted that way - she's always been a bit humourless and grumpy (this is also why I changed her look kind of drastically after I had her with Trent for a couple of rounds). She does love her daughters though, so "conflicted" is a good word for her right now.<br /><br />As for skipping out on the bill, Rebecca actually walked to the restaurant (a bit cheaty, because she really shouldn't be able to walk to Exeter but let's pretend Tessa's dad dropped them off there!) so I guess you can skip out on the bill if you walk too! I'm not sure I've ever tried it when my Sims have taken a taxi there! <br /><br />You don't actually have to sneak off the lot - you can accomplish it if you just wander around the lot, making sure to avoid the host. So if that's the reason for disabling the option when you've used a taxi, it's kind of silly!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-20399891455148522532010-02-12T17:39:42.550+11:002010-02-12T17:39:42.550+11:00Awww, poor Victoria.

I can see Megan's character behaving this way though, even the odd little hug at the end like she's conflicted too.<br /><br />But it was nice to see Leontine and Victoria together one last time at least. :)<br /><br />And Rebecca, lol! That's cute. What else is there to do? But to skip out on the bill, don't you have to drive there? That's the only time I've had the option show up and that annoys me. Though I guess it is hard to "sneak" off lot when the taxi comes for you.The Lunar Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300943457749354465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-67194771008139258552010-02-12T14:51:42.524+11:002010-02-12T14:51:42.524+11:00I feel for Victoria.

Magen needs to move past this, patch thing sup with her daughter, and enjoy the blessing that is Declan. He's so cute.<br /><br />As for Rebecca, where is this "wild" streak coming from? She's just being a kid. Testing the waters and all that. She's seeing where she fits in in this crazy sim world. ;)Riverdale Blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056037584624429561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-32462895447683594742010-02-12T14:18:54.759+11:002010-02-12T14:18:54.759+11:00Oo an update with baby Declan to come, can't w...Oo an update with baby Declan to come, can't wait! I bet they are spot on parents. They've both seemed quite sensible from a very young age. <br /><br />Trent and Finn being friends is great. I really hope Megan comes around though. It's done, and there's nothing cold shoulders is going to do to change it. Might as well embrace it already, besides I'm sure Victoria gets that her mother doesn't approve of it. Point taken, move on Megan.. I hope she will anyway. <br /><br />I do not know how to get my sims to skip out on a bill. I tried just the other day, and they didn't even get out of their seats before they were "caught". So I'm with Rebecca.maisiehttp://www.retromaisie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-44558587000590415402010-02-12T13:19:56.701+11:002010-02-12T13:19:56.701+11:00Francesca, I hope so too but Megan is very stubbor...<b>Francesca</b>, I hope so too but Megan is very stubborn. She knows she's being silly now but she's too proud to admit it for now. We'll see how she goes when I play Finn and Victoria.<br /><br />The cheapskate ROS was really fun, although I don't think Rebecca agreed with me!<br /><br /><b>Apple Valley</b>, Victoria is glad she has <i>one</i> reasonable parent and she's hoping Megan will come around and then she can have two. <br /><br />I haven't played with Finn and Victoria much (just ducked in for pictures) but I have a feeling they'll be pretty on top of things with Declan. They're both very sensible. :)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-31149808573329770282010-02-12T12:52:46.384+11:002010-02-12T12:52:46.384+11:00I'm glad Trent is the voice of reason, I also ...I'm glad Trent is the voice of reason, I also can't wait to see Finn and Victoria's update.
