The Pleasantview Diaires
Dec. 19th, 2018 04:32 pm
Early Saturday morning, before the sun even came up, Jennifer notices someone has knocked down their trash can. Angry that someone would do this, she picks it up and makes sure to look around for any damages. No real damage was done to their property besides that, but the awful stench and mess attracted cockroaches! Jennifer is disgusted and sprays them right away. She hopes that’s it, she doesn’t know if she can handle any more creepy crawlies.
Proud of her grades and how well she aged up, Lucy’s parents give her the okay to adopt a kitten finally. She can’t wait! She’d been wanting one for a while and is glad they finally gave in. She knew it was more of a money issue than them not wanting her to have one, but that didn’t make her want one any less!
While waiting for the new kitten to arrive, Lucy gets better acquainted with her new little brother.
Shortly after, a nice police woman shows up with Alegra in tow. “Look at that cutie pie!” Lucy couldn’t be any happier. They splurge on some more stuff to house the kitten, feed her, and give her somewhere to go to the bathroom.
All of that was made possible by Jennifer achieving her goal and getting a promotion! She’s very happy about it and getting ready to work towards her next one soon too.
As time progressed into the evening, John gets ready to cook dinner for the family, only to see that the fridge is practically empty! Jennifer makes a call to the grocery delivery, and they say they’ll be over fast. John accepts the order when they arrive and gets cooking for the family dinner before bed!
This is the end of the first week with the Burbs! I don’t know if they’re as interesting as other families because they’re so normal, and I feel like I always stray towards normal wife/husband and 2.5 kids families and just have them go to work, but it’s fun getting to see the way things can progress and the friendships and things people can do in each family. I hope to go a little out of my normal playthrough with these and experiment, something I know I’ll be doing in the next house on the list – the Caliente household!!
I tend to play the next few households a little interchangeably for the first few days. I start with the Caliente’s but then I need to jump in to play as the Goths and Lothario families too. They’re all very interconnected and I don’t want too many days to pass between each household between me playing the others. This gets more relaxed later on in the playthrough, but with it being the start, there’s so much going on in the first day or two in each house and each scenario in the different houses are connected so it’s harder.
