Pippin: We start into week two of the Took It All Rival Dynasty Challenge by shifting our focus to the mansion baron bloodline. And here's the mansion.
Bianca: Yeah, it's quaint, but it's home.
Pippin: And let's look at the ground floor of her "quaint" home.
Bianca: Umm, Pippin? Where's the rest of the furniture.
Pippin: Oh. I might have taken these shots before we finished fleshing out the décor...
Bianca: So, can Eliza be...
Pippin: No! Absolutely not! Anyway, here's the upstairs.
Bianca: It looks so empty.
Pippin: Just hush! You know you have more furniture now!
Bianca: Whatever. Guess I'll have to take matters into my own hands since I can't count on my Watcher.
Pippin: Cold, Bianca. Just cold.
Bianca: So, Victor, would you like to see the bedroom I had built for us?
Victor: Oh my heavens yes!
Bianca: You realize that the try for baby doesn't always work the first time, so we might have to do this repeatedly, right?
Victor: I am the luckiest Sim alive!
Bianca: It's true, you are.
Pippin: And after several try for baby efforts, Bianca gets to work on her actual aspiration by...
Bianca: Starting a club!!
Pippin: ...what?
Bianca: You'll see. And I named the club after my mom. It's called Her Club!
Pippin: (facepalm)
Bianca: And here we are engaging in one of our acceptable club activities: painting!
Pippin: Painting?
Bianca: Yep! Then I sell the finished paintings and get more money to flesh out the mansion.
Pippin: That...brilliant, actually.
Bianca: I know.
Pippin: Wait, isn't that the mean vampire that Johnny met last week?
Bianca: Yep! She's not actually mean. In fact, she's erratic.
Ananya: Well, sure I talk to myself sometimes, but that's just because I need an expert opinion!
Bianca: I like her. Of course, I like somebody else a little better. Oh Victor?
Victor: Are we trying for baby again?!?!?
Bianca: Sure! Better safe than sorry!
Lily: Hi, Kevin Levin. You're not ugly. I think your face is good.
Kevin: Uhh....thanks?
Lily: We could do kissing things in front of my ex-husband, okay?
Kevin: Oh. Geez. Sorry, I don't want to get in the middle of this. I'm...just going to go paint, okay? I mean, you're pretty, but...well...Bianca really scares me.
Lily: I hate everything.
Pippin: Meantime, it seems our scary founder is rather smitten with her boy toy.
Bianca: What? No. He's just...it's the plan...I mean...mother said...
Pippin: So this is just...
Bianca: Purely the plan. Just making sure we have the baby. Gotta be ahead in the competition. His chiseled jawline and dreamy eyes and perfect hair have nothing to do with it!
Pippin: Well, I'm totally convinced.
Ananya: Haha, that's what he sounds like when he's being sarcastic.
Bianca: Grrrr...
Pippin: And speaking of Her plan...
Pippin: the nooboo is on the way!
Bianca: Well, the confetti took long enough.
Pippin: And Victor is delighted to hear the news.
Bianca: We're pregnant!!
Victor: But...trying was so much fun...do we have to stop trying now?
Bianca: Well, it would probably be best to stay in practice, so...
Victor: I love you!!!!
Bianca: I know.
Pippin: Yep. Totally just the plan.
Bianca: Shut up!
Pippin: And continuing the plan, Bianca moves in more
money helpers.
Bianca: Alexandrea, my friend! You're a repairman...woman...so you could craft all sorts of great money-making things for us
and your family-oriented trait is exactly the sort of thing an expecting mother would want to have around, so would you like to move into our mansion?
Alexandrea: So, I get to shift from not-in-world service Sim to living in a mansion? Yeah, that sounds like a pretty sweet deal.
Eliza: And make sure you give her a makeover.
Bianca: Oh, good call, Watcher Eliza!
Pippin: She's not your Watcher!
Eliza: He's right, I'm Kasandra's Watcher.
Pippin: No you're not!
Herbert: You know, Eliza, Kas would probably be okay if you were
my Watcher too...
Pippin: No! She's
not a Watcher!!
Alexandrea: Woot! This is so much better! I'll have to thank Watcher Eliza next time I see her.
Pippin: Grrr...anyway, our other moved in
money helper was certainly thankful for Lily's presence in the house.
Ananya: Hey, Juice Box!
Lily: Excuse me? My name is Lily,
not Juice B...
Aanya: Okay, Silly Lily.
Pippin: Ummm...sorry, Lily. I mean, you still get to live in a really nice place and you're contributing to a dynasty, right?
Lily: ...
Pippin: Oh, that's right. You're unconscious.
Ananya: ...so yeah, as long as I have my occasional Juice Box, I'm fine and probably won't eat you.
Madalyn: Yeah, that's really disturbing.
Pippin: Madalyn has not been moved in, but is creating our highest value paintings.
Bianca: And one day, she just might be lucky enough to marry into my bloodline!
Madalyn: Ummm, my husband and son kind of get mad when I marry other people, so...
Bianca: So you're saying you'll consider it? Great!!
Madalyn: I don't always feel like she listens to me.
Pippin: Meantime, something very important was happening...
Bianca: Victor Feng, can I make you the happiest Sim alive?
Victor: Yes!! Oh heavens yes!! This is the happiest moment of my life!!
Pippin: All just part of the plan?
Bianca: Yep! Gotta max soulmates to get more points since I have four expensive rewards to purchase.
Pippin: I still don't believe you, but I can't argue with the logic.
Bianca: And I mean, it's not like you're sassing the other couple in the house.
Pippin: Other couple?
Ananya: ...and after work, we could get together to grab a bite, Juice Box! Get it? A
bite?
Lily: (sigh) I hate everything.
Pippin: I don't think they really count as a couple...
Ananya: Sure we do!
Lily: Not a couple.
Ananya: Kinda coupley.
Lily: No. Just no.
Pippin: And our actually
happy couple ties the knot.
Bianca: Oh, Victor, you make me so happy!
Pippin: Just the plan? Seems pretty clear you
like him!
Bianca: Shut up, Pippin!
Kevin: I agree with Pippin.
Bianca:
What?!?!?
Kevin: ...I'm sorry. I'll just paint now.
Pippin: And while everyone else heads off to work, Alexandrea, who is now jobless since she was a repairperson, and Bianca, who has purchased connections and is now level 4 in business but has today off, head to the park.
Pippin: You still thinking moving in was a good choice, Alex?
Alexandrea: Eh, digging for frogs is way better than living in fear of being culled.
Pippin: Fair enough. And while Alex was finding things to sell or breed for more things to sell, Bianca was finding...
Pippin: potential spouse options.
Bianca: Hey, Baylee! I just might have a son and he'll need a wife and you just happen to be a pretty redhead, so you meet most of my requirements!
Baylee: Most of...?
Bianca: You aren't rich, are you?
Baylee: ...no...?
Bianca: Eh, we can always move in money later. I'll keep you on the short list.
Baylee: ...short list...?
Pippin: And so, with a good start on buying the required rewards, level 4 of her job achieved, money rolling in continuously, and some future spouse options in place, things are going quite well for Her daughter.
Bianca: Go Team Bianca!
Victor: Yeah! Go Team You!!
Pippin: Shouldn't you push for "Team Us?"
Victor: Nope, only room for my beloved on that pedestal.
Bianca: He's so perfect!
Pippin: Just the plan?
Bianca: Shut up.
