Round 1: Teatherton (Season 1: Spring)

Teatherton Household:

Alexandra Teatherton: Adult Female | Popularity/Romance | LTW: Become Captain Hero | First Wishes: Meet Someone New, Entertain, Talk, Play With | First Fulfilled: Meet Someone New

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

I have never played this family, but we know from looking at her family tree, and from the wiki, that she used to be married to Gabe O'Mackey and that Jules O'Mackey is her daughter.  She has a negative relationship with Gabe, but no relationship with her daughter.  She has a crush on Julien Cooke, which happened way back in his update. So let's see what happens with her.

First things first, she is a pop sim and wants to be meet people, but there is no one around right away, so she heads inside and when left to her own devices sits down to do some writing in her journal.

 The first person to come on the lost is the paperboy so out she goes to meet him and fulfills that first all-important wish for the day. She then starts rolling wishes to do more things with him, but he has to continue on his paper route, but it shook up her wants enough to want other things for the day.

The very next thing Alexandra wants to do is to throw a party.  She knows a few people so she just invites everyone at the top of her friends' list, the only friend is Julien Cooke, but otherwise, they have almost friend relationships. With some influencing and a fun party, all her wishes are easily met for the day.

During the party, Alexandra did get invited for an outing like normally happens that first day, but the taxi took forever to show up and we got the "you stood me up" message.  So she went back to the party. The next day Alexandra woke up with similar wishes as the day before, only now she is wanting to start making best friends.  So the first order of business though is to make friends with the paperboy.

After that Alexandra fools me.  She wishes for a skill point, to eat grilled cheese sandwiches, and to eat lunch meat sandwiches.  Her other wish is for 2 best friends.  So we have her skill and realize something is off.  She gets the skill point, gets the aspiration points, doesn't actually earn the skill.  I think it's a CC as this happens again later with someone else, so it's taken out and everything seems normal again.

After skilling we have her eat sandwiches. She eats both kinds because the wishes didn't leave, so an easy set of wishes for day two and she gets in 5 without much effort. This feels like a good moment to point out that in this hood, for this first round, I'm playing through the first full season.  Some of the houses in Riverblossom Hills started much earlier in season 1 then most houses.  Typically you have that last day of season 1 and then you are in season 2.  Here, as was the same with the Ramaswami house, she had 4 days of winter before spring.  However, spring is the first full season, so we play all the way through it.

Another day and another set of wishes and this time Alexandra wants to party.  So we invite over friends again and fewer show up this time, but they still have a good party.

During the party, Alexandra throws a wish to woohoo in a bed.  This must be her romance side coming out, as it isn't spring yet, but Julien is the only one even close to being able to meet this.  They snuggle on the bed, but cannot get past crush status to allow for woohoo.

The next few days start to go downhill for Alexandra and she starts to struggle with wish getting, but we'll see why in just a bit.  So the next day dawn after Alexandra only got 4 wishes the day before, the Best Friends and BFF wishes beginning to take over. This day, however, she wants again wants to meet someone new and when Stephen Tinker walks by she greats him.

She still has the desire to woohoo in a bed, and she throws the wish to invite someone over.  So she calls up Julien and invites him over.  So far so good.  Julien comes over and almost instantly jumps into her arms.

After a few flirts and jokes, Alexandra is showing a love for Julien.  I'm not sure if Julien has ever reached love level with Alexandra or not, but we head to the bed to check and sure enough, they can woohoo, and thus we fulfill Alexandra's locked woohoo wish.

After our rendezvous with Julien, her wishes go to things we can't easily reach, so she heads to a community lot hoping it will shake them up.  Unfortunately, when she gets there, it doesn't re-roll any of her wishes. But there are a lot of playable, so she stays and talks with them and east some food.

The next day Alexandra has to go to work, which causes her wishes to not be met early in the morning, but she now wants to be friends with Titiana Summerdream, whom she met the night before.  She does call her up and talks for a bit, but then right as the carpool rolls up she runs into the bathroom.

Oh, come on risky!!!! After she arrives from home later that day we get the telltale pop.  Yep...Alexandra is pregnant.  She has only had woohoo the one time by me, and since we have no ACR it didn't happen on a different lot, so this is all Julien's baby.

She now wishes to woohoo with two different sims.  It's spring so the romance side of her is coming at her full force.  I'm not fully interested in getting her a bunch of woohoos, but she also wishes for a date and more friends, so we invite this townie over (who I cannot remember the name of) for a date.

We end date before it gets too hot and heavy and Alexandra wants to meet someone new again.  So the next passer-by who heads onto the lot she heads out to meet.  This guy is a bit creepy, checking her out in such a way as she walks again in her underwear.

This day was rough on Alexandra, due to her working and being pregnant, she was hungry, tired and not in the mood to do much of anything.  So after only getting a few wishes in for the day she heads to bed.  Now, the hits keep coming.  This jerk comes on the lot.

Alexandra is able to get up and get to the phone to call the police while he heads to the "extra" room to steal her vase and statue. The police show up and the fight ensues and luckily the policeman won this time. I wish we would get our stuff back instead of just money, but the money will come in handy to buy baby stuff I guess.

Now, Julien had called up Alexandra to go on a date downtown.  I had her standing by the taxi, but she got started talking to someone who had come on the lot and "missed" the taxi thus upsetting Julien.  That has apparently caused her to wish to learn couple's counseling, which she did over the course of a couple of days.

She also wants to invite Julien over, so she does and after some apologizing, joking and general talking, they seem to be healing the anger, in fact, they got the point where he was willing to meet her newest woohoo wish.  It likely helps it's been a few days that allowed him to calm down.  While he was there and they were playing catch (I think) outside, the first labor pains hit.  The newest member of the family is on their way.

We breathe out a sigh of relief when it tells us there is only one new addition and we have a little girl.  She is born right after midnight on January 10, year (day) 7. She has her daddies black hair but appears to have her mom's pretty eyes.  Both parents are happy.  I take a peek at Julien's wishes and he has a wish to get engaged to Alexandra.

After finally having a baby, and her mood not dropping constantly we are able to get back into the swing of wish fulfillment. One of her first wishes that next morning was to throw a party, so she does and invites all her newest friends to meet the baby.

Then she makes a new friend in Goneril Capp, whom Alexandra met the other day during one of her "meet someone new" phases.  After talking on the phone for a bit she manages to make that wish come true.

It time for little Scarlet to grow up and her mom heads in to help her.  Upon growing up Scarlet wishes to buy a toy, be tickled by both of her parents, and learn to walk.  She is a cutie but appears to have gotten Julien's nose, so I will be interested to see her as a child and teen later.

After a bit of tickling and buying some toddler stuff Alexandra goes and makes smart milk.  She is having a party, so instead of learning to walk, she starts to teach Scarlet to talk, which rolled up once the tickling was fulfilled. It was easy to fulfill both Alexandra and Scarlet's wishes for this last day.

With that, we wrap up the spring season with the Teatherton family.  This house is super small and doesn't have a ton of room for a growing family, but they might end up with Julien next round, we will just see what happens. He is a popularity/family sim, and will likely want to have his daughter close. We have two more houses in this neighborhood so we are getting closer to being 1/2 way through this first round.

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

Summary:

Alexandra: Was super easy early on, but after she got pregnant became difficult.  All her wishes took time, and she was always exhausted and hungry so she didn't have time to meet them.  Also, she couldn't leave the lot to shake up wishes because of the pregnancy also.  By the end, however, she was back to her normal self and meeting wishes again.
Ending Wishes: Be Friends with Jill (Fleig), Meet Someone New, Be BFF with River (Woodrow) (paperboy), Be Best Friends with Goneril (Capp)

Scarlet: Came in so late into the round we have only had one day with her.  She was unexpected and not really wished for, but that is what happens with Risky.  So now she is here, and so far adorable.  I will be interested in seeing how her wishes shake out this next round.
Ending Wishes: Be Talked to by Alexandra (Teatherton), Learn to Walk (Locked), Get Potty Trained, Be Read to by Alexandra (Teatherton)
