Round 1: Ramaswami (Season 1: Spring)

Ramaswami Household:

Priya Ramaswami: Adult Female | Popularity/Knowledge | LTW: Become Media Magnate | First Wishes: Make a Friend, Meet Someone New, Kiss Sanjay, Buy a Telescope Costing at Least $500 | First Fulfilled: Key Sanjay

Sanjay Ramaswami: Adult Male | Popularity/Family | LTW: Become Rock God | First Wishes: Gain a Mechanical Skill Point, Have a Baby (Locked), Gain a Cooking Skill Point, WooHoo in Bed | First Fulfilled: WooHoo in Bed

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Ramaswami's didn't start in any sort of house, but they came with seasons, so we give them a small starter house in Riverblossom Hills. Sanjay wants a baby and to woohoo, so he and Priya break-in their new double bed.

Sanjay then wants to gain a skill, so the mirror in their bedroom is used to get him a skill point in Charisma. 

Priya also wants to skill, so she starts studying cooking, which she needed for her job. As soon as she gets the skill she wants to throw a party, but she literally knows no one but Sanjay.

 Luckily for Priya, the welcome wagon comes by and she goes out to invite them all inside.  An interesting note is, even though they moved in "new" they start 2 days earlier than the rest of the houses, so they have 3 days in winter instead of 1.

A part of the welcome wagon we see a Cleveland, Contender, Ottoman, and Goodie are all here.  There is also a townie visiting as well.  Priya and Sanjay were greeting nearly everyone who even walked by the house.

Even though they know no one in the hood a townie named Uma Louie calls and invites them downtown, so the family goes.  Who should we see but Cassandra Goth.  Priya sits down and plays some poker with her and Uma.

Pryia is clearly not pregnant, so Risky hasn't blessed the couple yet.  Sanjay wakes up most mornings wanting to flirt, be flirted with, and kiss someone.  Those wishes are achieved quickly by his wife. So far woohoo has only been wished for once.

Now that Priya has met some people her wishes revolved around making friends with all of them.  Sanjay also wants to make friends with people as well but throws wishes to skill.  This is interesting as Priya is the knowledge secondary but hasn't wished to skill almost at all.

Every day, when she comes home from work, Priya wants to throw a party. She also, often, brings a new friend home from work.  The parties are not very big yet, as not everyone knows her well enough to show up, but her parties will get better with time.

Sanjay also brings home friends from work nearly any day.  This day he gossips with his work friend about Dora Ottoman is would appear.  He has not met Dora but has met both Samantha and Peter.

Priya's wishes were getting stale and all revolved around being BFF's with multiple people.  So we take her to a community lot where she meets this well-known sim, Mary Sue Pleasant. 

Sanjay and Priya continue to either meet people who are passing by or bring home friends from work.  They are both beginning to know a lot of people around the neighborhood or townies as well.

At another of the parties, either Sanjay or Priya throws daily, Sanjay talks with Justin Cleveland and Faith Goodie, meeting them and/or making friends with them.  Justin is talking about Sandra Roth.

We see Mary Sue and Cassandra enjoying a conversation as well. With as many parties as these two throw, the residents of Pleasantview might know each other and some members of the other hoods better than normal by the time we get there.

Sanjay heads out to greet a passerby and it's yet another well know Pleasantview resident, Dina Caliente. We will see more of her when we finally reach her hood later in the round.

Sanjay has started wishing to eat hot dogs on a roughly daily basis.  So to fulfill a wish he goes out to the grill and cooks up some hot dogs.  Sanjay is also not overly nice and fulfills a wish to prank this townie who came home with Priya one day.

There has been a second wish for woohoo that occurred during a date, but still Risky hasn't decided to bless this couple with a child.  Sanjay still wakes up with wishes to flirt and kiss, however, and Priya is happy to oblige. 

Priya wanted to meet someone new, yet again, and ran out to greet this passer-by.  She is a townie but talking with her fulfills some wishes for Priya.

Sanjay's wishes were now the ones revolving around BFF's so we take him to a community lot where he meets one of the most famous Pleasantview sims ever, Don Lothario. We also see a table full of playable ladies are were this day as well.

Sanjay gets to throw a party this time and invites over his friend Cleo Shikibu, who he wanted to be best friends with, and after a small conversation, it is met.  That drops a nice set of points into Sanjay's coffers.

Sanjay wanted to meet someone new, I believe, so he heads to a club and meets John Burb.  This is certainly an update involving many Pleasantview sims for not being in Pleasantview.

Both Priya and Sanjay want to meet new people again the next day so they head to the park. Both meet additional playables in Hannah Bell and Opal Contrary. Opal, you can see, is very pregnant, but she will be that way for a LONG time to come.

As the season comes to an end we see Priya throwing yet another party, but this one includes mostly playables from the hood and is much better attended than many of her earlier parties. This couple is certainly made up of pop sims, and we will see if that changes at all in the following rounds.

Summary:

Priya Ramaswami: Priya was easy, if boring, to keep happy.  Woke up with wishes to meet people, be friends/best friends/BFF's, and throw parties nearly every day.  About half-way through spring Priya's secondary knowledge kicked in and she started wanting to skill once in a while, which was good for her job. So far still no baby and no seeming desires to have one since the first on Sanjay held early on.

Ending Wishes: Influence Someone to Appreciate Another Sim, Influence Someone to Play With Another Sim, Dance with Someone, Reach Cooking Level 5 (Locked)

Sanjay Ramaswami: Another pretty easy sim to keep happy.  Had a day of wishes that would not shake up, even after going to a community lot, and since BFF's are difficult to "force" to happen on a certain day he only reached 3, but otherwise was easy.  He woke up almost every morning wanting to flirt, be flirted with, and kiss, which started him off each day. He has gotten multiple promotions from social things, even though he has few skills so far.

Ending Wishes: Be Friends with Hannah (Bell) (Locked), Be BFF with Cleo (Shikibu), Be BFF with Justin (Cleveland), Invite Someone Over

Round 1: O'Mackey (Season 1: Spring)

O'Mackey Household:

Gabe O'Mackey: Adult Male | Knowledge/Family | LTW: Become Education Minister | First Wishes: See Wolf, Jules is an Overachiever, Be Best Friends with Jules (O'Mackey), Jules (O'Mackey) Gets A+ Report Card (Locked) | First Fulfilled: Play Chess

Jules O'Mackey: Teen Female | Popularity/Grilled Cheese | LTW: Become Mayor | First Wishes: Influence Someone to Make Grilled Cheese, Get Job in Journalism Career (Locked), Make Grilled Cheese for Sim | First Fulfilled: Get Job in Journalism Career

---------------------------------------------------------------

The first wish that Gabe is able to achieve is to play some chess.  This was a good thing for him to do as he needed logic for work I believe.

Jules hops on the computer and finds herself a job in Journalism, which was locked in when the lot started.  This isn't what her LTW is in, but we will see if she ever wants to change it.

Gabe needs a bit of a shake up of his wishes and so we head to a community lot where he meets some new people.  He then gets suck in the corner of this lot and it took him quite a while to get out.

When he does he has a wish to play chess again, so he sits down and is joined later by another sim.  In the meantime, we spy a well-known sim to most sim players.

Goneril Capp is there and is getting talked to by the Charlatan but, in a move I've only seen one other time, she waves him off after thinking about what he had to say.  She does not lose money today.  Good job Goneril.

Jules had a desire to get a cell phone and a handheld game, so we took her down to the shops and got a phone.  She kept the wish for the handheld game and thus got that as well.  Then it was back to home.

The welcome wagon is there when Jules gets home from school and she invites the two of them who stuck around long enough in.

With Jules being a popularity sim she runs out to meet new people all the time.  This girl was walking by (no longer remember her name) and Jules talks to her about her hobby. She also discovers that she can talk the cheese with this girl.  That is very exciting as we have a ton of grilled cheese sims forming in this hood. 

Back inside Jules reaches a wish, likely to be friends with this girl, while they watch some TV.

Jules wakes up almost every day with a wish to meet someone new.  On this day the newspaper girl fills that wish before Jules heads off to school.

Gabe comes home demoted after a bad chance card but is just happy to be at home.  He brought home a friend this day in another familiar sim in Samantha Ottomans. 

Jules is a pretty easy sim to keep happy most days with the grilled cheese secondary wish.  If she keeps making an eating grilled cheese while meeting people she should get a bunch of friends in no time.

Gabe suddenly wanted to win a cooking contest after making a wish run on cooking skills. So we head to the hobby lot.  He makes what he believes will be award-winning ribs and we wait for the rest of the contestants.  The judge comes by and tastes each one.  I had never paid attention to her faces before, but they are fun to watch.

Gabe's ribs win and he is very happy.  His next wish is to eat his ribs, so he grabs a plate and sets down to enjoy them.

When Gabe gets back I'm pretty sure Jules had wanted to throw a party and so Gabe talks to his guest and then takes some time out of the day to pillow fight with his sister-in-law.  They are close to being friends and maybe when we get to their family they will strengthen their relationships.

Jules reaches a bit wish when she becomes best friends with the girl she greeted randomly one afternoon.  Jules is certainly a popularity sim and always happy to have friends.

Gab suddenly wishes, due to the spring season more than likely, to kiss a sim and so he invites Patrica Wan and greets her with a deep kiss, just like he wished for.

Jules takes some time to go shake up some wishes and heads to a community lot where she meets Puck.  Now, Jules was the girlfriend of Jacob Martin and they are still good friends and 2-bolts of attractions.  Puck, however, could be an interesting pairing for her.

Puck comes over and Jacob Martin is also there.  Puck sits and plays chess with Jules and they continue to talk.  I believe by the end of this visit they were friends.

Jules discovers, during another party, that her dad will talk the cheese with her, and this is great news for Jules because she will have him for many more years to come to help fulfill all those wishes.

As the spring season draws to a close Jules gets invited to the Gaming hobby lot while playing with her handheld games.

Summary:

Gabe O'Mackey: Started off a bit difficult as he kept wanting to get higher and higher level of skills, and they didn't have the points to get a thinking cap.  He also wanted things for Jules. As the week progressed they had the thinking cap and Gabe started wanting to do other things as well.  So far Gabe has fully learned cooking and cleaning.

Ending Wishes: Harvest Good Produce, Jules (O'Mackey) Gets Scholarship, Learn Lifelong Happiness, Learn Anger Management

Jules O'Mackey: Super easy to keep happy.  She woke up almost every day wanting to eat grilled cheese, throw a party and either meet someone new or make a new friend.  With lots of parties thrown, she has met many sims in the neighborhood now. So far there has not been much deviation in her wishes however, so I'm hoping she will get a little more interesting next time.

Ending Wishes: Play Marco Polo, Be Best Friends with Puck (Summerdream), Have a Party, Talk About Hobby
