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

[oshizu]

The child portraits are adorable as always.
I rather think Thasia also has Akira's ears and slimmer nose.
Not to rush you, but I look forward to seeing how Thasia changes when she ages up to a teen, hehe.

So nice that the children from all three households are getting to know each other!
It must be hard to play each household for exactly a week then move on to another household!

@NexttoNormal --- This is a great story !

[NexttoNormal]

@oshizu Thank you! I have a lot of fun with the childhood pics of the parents, I think Paolo and Gunther are both adorable kids I think Thasia will probably start to balance out as she gets older, regardless I have a feeling she'll be stunning. And aren't Desdemona's kids adorable? I'm really happy with how all of the kids look so far. And yes it's so hard to switch, I have a hard time choosing my favorite family too and I want to play them all!

@FrancescaFiori Gunther as a kid is certainly a cutie! And I'm pretty proud of how the store turned out, it's spacious enough too that people don't get crowded or stuck. The Capp-Munch family is definitely hard to control at times though haha, so many people doing different things at once. Plus everyone has different schedules.

@coolsim9999999 Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it!

@NexttoNormal --- You're welcome  !  I am definitely enjoying reading it.

Thasia is so cute! I agree with oshizu about her maybe having Akira's nose, but I'm glad she mostly takes after Bottom. They are both lovely. It's nice to see Thasia is getting a good head start on her friends as well as he enemies!

Monty Scene III (week 3)

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Petruchio: Heyo! It's me Petruchio! Mom decided to let me tell this part since she and dad were really busy with work this week. Plus she said it'd be good practice for when I'm older. So I guess you can see that I've started collecting stuff, I finished my aspiration early so I had a lot of time to do whatever I wanted.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
You'll see what I was collecting soon, but for now I'm gonna keep it a secret.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Oh I also have an enemy. Stupid Titus Capp, he's in my class at school and always thinks he's smarter than me. But I have better grades!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
He ended up coming over to the park near my house but I kicked his butt! That'll teach him!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
But I really like his sister Tamora. She's one of my closest friends.

Mom and my brother Lucentio ended up getting sick this week, so did dad but he ended up just hiding in his room while he was home.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I managed to avoid getting sick for a while which let me work on my collection more. You can see four of them here!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
But I still got sick at the end of the week.

Oh! Mom and dad both got promoted at the end of the week! Mom says once we have a little more money saved up we're moving. I don't really wanna go but she says I'll still be at the same school.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Dad got me and Lucentio a cool poster for our room from one of his games!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
And I also got my collection done! Seven MySims toys!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I also started practicing the violin and I'm really liking it! I'll definitely keep up with it!

And since mom, dad and me all have birthdays coming up soon we decided to take pictures on Saturday! I guess that's all for now, see ya around!

I figured I may as well mix it up with who was narrating, especially since right now all Beatrice and Paolo are doing is grinding. Beatrice is now a level 6 chef and Paolo is a level 7 pro-athlete. The biggest accomplishments definitely come from Petruchio though, who's maintained his A student status, completed the Artistic Prodigy aspiration and maxed the child creativity skill, and has now reached level 4 in the violin skill. He's also completed his collection of 7 items, the 7 MySims figures, which have a value of $150. No new comparison pictures since there hasn't been a birthday in this part, but he will be aging up as soon as the Monty family is played again.

Thanks so much for the close-ups of Beatrice and Petruchio at the end of this chapter!
Not that surprising with the lovely Beatrice and charming Paolo as his parents, but Petruchio is super handsome already!

Good job on getting so much done already, Petruchio!
Since you made an enemy of Titus already, do you only need to retain that enemy status until you become the heir?

I've never played a Rival Dynasties Challenge so am unclear on all the rules but am really enjoying your story!

[Joria]

Wow that Petrucchio is quite the kid!  He's done amazingly well with his aspirations and grades and time to finish his collection already.  Impressive.

I agree ---  Petrucchio is a really great, smart character.  @NexttoNormal --- I like all of your Sims in this story !

[Magpie2012]

So glad I finally caught up on this. I didn't really play in Veronaville much in TS2, but, I am loosely aware of the histories of the different families. Really enjoying this story!

[PeregrineTook]

Like Mags, I also just got caught up with this!  The Rivalry Dynasty looks awesome (aweSim?), but I don't have Sims 4 (yet), so I haven't been able to try it out.
I rather enjoy how you're fleshing out the unique families, yet giving their stories overlap.  Looking forward to reading more  :=)

[cyclonenic]

Loving the twist on the Rival Dynasties Challenge using Veronaville characters. Looking forward to reading more. I love how you are changing up the narrator occasionally too.

[NexttoNormal]

Merry Christmas everyone! I don't have an update yet (I have been sick all week with a bad cold and have been mentally preparing myself for a somewhat invasive medical exam), but I do have a present for you guys!

All three families from the legacy are available for download from my profile (Profile name: GMDziadosz)! Additionally, I've recreated some familiar faces for the Sims 4: all of the Veronaville families! Not all of them are on my profile yet, but they will be by tomorrow morning! They're as close to their original TS2 appearances as I can get, although I've put my own personal twist on the way they dress.

Titania Summerdream (Bottom's mother)

Antonio Monty (Beatrice's father)

Miranda Capp (Desdemona's older sister)

Have fun with them! You're welcome to use them in stories too as long as I'm credited!

[oshizu]

@NexttoNormal

I'm so sorry to hear that you've not been feeling well and hope that your medical exam offers an effective solution to your extended illness. <3

[FrancescaFiori]

I really like the Sims you've created! I've only played Sims 2 a very, very little, but you certainly get me interested in these characters. 

I hope you feel better soon!
