The Dueling Veronaville Dynasties (All is right with the world, Updated 01/27)

[chetanhaobijam]

Welcome Petruchio Monty. So happy for Beatrice, engaged with Paolo and excelling in her career and skill. Now looking forward for the Capp family.

[NexttoNormal]

Thank you everyone for your kind words! I really like Beatrice and Paolo together, I'm really curious to see who Baby Petruchio ends up looking like more.

Desdemona: *sigh* It seems like no matter what I can't escape the shadow of Veronaville. I moved into a two bedroom Tudor-style house with a fairly retro interior. I definitely plan on renovating once I have the money.

I decided to try making the best of it to get my confidence back up.  I heard about the Flea Market and decided to visit. It was fun but I don't think I fit in that well.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Despite my better judgement I decided to visit Windenburg for the rest of the day, even though it reminds me a lot of home. The library was nice, same for the cafe.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
But it was so lonely...
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
So I decided to fix the situation. I needed friends, and fast, so I looked at clubs online and found the Avant Guards. A group of artistic, thoughtful people who appreciated the finer things in life. It seemed like a good fit for me, so I arranged to meet up with them at the cafe.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
They all seemed like very nice people, but one member in particular caught my attention: Gunther Munch. He was the quiet intellectual type, and we hit it off immediately. By the end of the evening we were friends.

...

The next morning after work I was feeling a bit better about myself, and decided to do something different. I invited Gunther out for a date.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
We decided to visit the art museum in San Myshuno since neither of us had visited it. I would like to say that we enjoyed it mainly for the art, but that would be a lie.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
We had our very first kiss and he officially became my boyfriend.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
All and all today made up for a bad day yesterday. I wasn't allowed to date while I was still living at home, but here I can actually have a chance at finding the love of my life. And I'd like to imagine that I already have.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Desdemona has jumped in head on into the dating world it seems. Hopefully her relationship with Gunther will last!

[Whirligig]

Desdemona may be saying she's trying to get away from Veronaville, but her actions are certainly proving otherwise. Joining the avant gardes, hanging out in Windenburg, even getting together with Gunther all seems very Veronaville-esque. I don't really think this apple has fallen far from the tree.

[dontmindme]

Such a fun story even if I have no idea who these people (yes,I read the wiki, but never played Sims 2). Good luck to each of the families! I suspect that life's going to knock them by the teeth once things get going.

[FrancescaFiori]

Awww. Desdemona and Gunther are a lovely couple. The Arts Center makes a great backdrop for a date, too! Lovely!

[chetanhaobijam]

Great update. Good for Desdemona, getting a boyfriend. Wishing her a great love life and waiting to see more of her.

Capp Scene I cont. (Week 1)
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Desdemona: Things with Gunther progressed very quickly. By our next date I had decided I was ready to ask him to be my husband.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
He said yes thankfully! I was so excited to be starting my life with him.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
We had a private ceremony at the Von Haunt estate, and had some newlywed fun there as well. Little did I know that Gunther's family had plans to join us at our house...Since I was short on space, we set up some air mattresses in the hallway for the time being.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I had just found out that I was pregnant, and wasn't too happy about having more people living with us. But Gunther insisted that they would be very helpful once my store is operating, and that his mother could help with our baby since we have opposite work schedules. His brothers certainly seemed nice enough, and I was willing to make the best of the situation.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
My pregnancy was largely uneventful, I spent most of it working toward promotions.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I also went to the bar with Beatrice at one point (of course I didn't drink during that time). It was quite nice to catch up with her and see how she was doing.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I was surprised to see how great she looked after having a baby. She's always had a faster metabolism than me so I had a feeling that after I gave birth it'd be really hard to lose the weight. I think I gained over 20 pounds, and she maybe gained 10.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I ended up going into labor slightly early, it scared me a lot before it finally registered that I was about to give birth.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Gunther was pretty terrified too. He was panicking all the way to the hospital and in the delivery room.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I guess he had a right to be so scared in retrospect. After the procedure ended I looked around the delivery room and saw one...
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
...Two...
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
...Three babies. I had just given birth to triplets...
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Gunther's family would be even more helpful now, there's no way we could take care of three babies while working on our own.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Welcome Titus, Tamora, and Lavinia Capp! I had no idea that Desdemona would have triplets, she doesn't have the fertile reward trait and their house doesn't have the "on Lei Line" trait either. I'm pretty sure they're the first triplets I've had in the Sims 4 Desdemona is a level 3 critic but she's very close to a promotion, and Gunther is a level 1 writer. I moved in the rest of the Munch family because it would be extra help for Desdemona's store since she wouldn't have to pay for employee salaries this way, and of course now that there are triplets it'll be extra helpful.

[MarianT]

With names from Titus Andronicus, the triplets might be a handful. It'll be interesting to see what Gunther's children look like.

[FrancescaFiori]

Wow! Triplets! I have to wonder if it's Gunther. I had him marry a sim of mine awhile ago, and they had the first triplets I've ever had in the Sims, too, with no interference from me. He must just be naturally fertile! Anyway, congratulations and I love the names! I'm very fond of the Munch family, and I'm sure they'll be a great help with all the babies.

[Whirligig]

Woah, triplets! That's insane. That makes for a full-house from the word 'go', hey, with all the Munches living there? How exciting! Best of luck with all of them!

[oshizu]

Talk about instant family! It's a good thing you have MIL Mila to help with the triplets and cooking.
That's so odd that @FrancescaFiori also had triplets with Gunther.
Best of luck to you, Desdemona!

[chetanhaobijam]

Congratulations on the triplets. Surely, they are a handful. Hope the Capp family knows how to  control/take care of them. Nice to see Beatrice on this update. Looking forward for next update.

[NexttoNormal]

Thanks for the continued positive feedback! @FrancescaFiori it is really odd that both of our sims had triplets with Gunther, I'm wondering if it may be a bug or something. They definitely will be a handful so it'll be good to just have a relaxing time playing as Bottom for a while.

Bottom: So...my house isn't quite as classic looking as Desdemona and Beatrice's houses, but it's unique. I'm in love with the modern design and fairly open floor plan.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
But obviously once I get the funds it's going to be renovated a lot. In the meantime though this will definitely work. First thing I did after moving in was getting a job so that way I can start saving up.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Then I spent the whole morning filling out and processing business reports. It'd be an easy way to look good for my supervisors.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
After I was done with that I went to San Myshuno to just chill for a bit before the next day. I visited the Spice Market...
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
...And found out that sadly empanadas are not vegetarian. I was pretty disappointed.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I also chatted with some of the city residents, but I can't say I befriended any of them.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I also went to Planet HuniePop! since I heard it was karaoke night. I met some more people there and some of them were pretty alright. I kinda made friends with a guy named Akira Kibo, I'm hoping to make more friends soon.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I also decided to be brave and attempt performing in the contest. Beatrice warned me not to do it but whatever, it seemed fun!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Little did I know that karaoke legend Miko Ojo was also gonna enter. I...yeah I lost pretty badly. But it was fun regardless.

Sorry that this part wasn't as long as some previous parts, Bottom honestly didn't have as productive a first day as Desdemona or Beatrice. I'm also unsure when I'm going to set her up with someone and who it'll be, we shall see.

[EchoLegacy]

Please put the Capp family in the gallery! It would be too fun to have their triplets as the spouses to my triplets, since their the opposite gender ratio. And style them as you would prefer, please! I would adore if they had a little personal touch from you(although I only have GTW, Get Together & Kids packs, just so you know)

This story is too fun, as well! I loved the Monty-Capp fight in Sims 2, and Bottom was always my favorite. I'm def going to start following along!

[Whirligig]

Eh, not everyone's a super socialite. And I can understand wanting to hold off a little on matching Bottom up with someone, especially after what happened to the Capps!

San Myshuno looks like such fun. *must resist*
