Angelina hasn’t been a teen for long, but she’s desperate to find her soulmate. She heads to the teen hobby center, where she can meet other girls her age.

Immediately, Angelina is drawn to Tosha Go. But she isn’t sure if she should pursue Tosha or not. Something has her convinced that she’s just going to make a fool of herself. But if it’s for love...

Angelina gathers up her courage and introduces herself to Tosha. Things are going well. Much better than Angelina had expected, anyway.

Soon, Angelina is pulling out as much charm as she can. And Tosha seems to be enjoying the attention. Perhaps this flirting thing isn’t as hard as Angelina thought it would be.

Next in the rotation is the Jocque family, who have to be one of my most hated households. Sophia never rolled the fear for pregnancy, so she never “got her tubes tied” (turned on bc with ACR). Once Sophia started going through menopause, she and Marcel started adopting kids. They just didn’t know when to quit. Now the house is packed, and playing them is honestly so overwhelming. To expand the house and care for all their kids, Sophia and Marcel had to take out a lot of loans. They’re currently §41,000+ in debt 😬 Together, Sophia and Marcel are only bringing in §542/day. Their heir really needs to reach the top of their career, otherwise the family will go bankrupt and their house will be repossessed.

The oldest of the Jocque kids is Violet, who just married Malcolm Landgraab. She’s the adopted mother of Malcolm’s alien child, Betty Landgraab.

Next are twins Audrey and Sebastian Jocque. Both are knowledge sims. Sebastian wants to reach the top of the journalism career, and Audrey wants to reach the top of the education career. Audrey is in love with Billy Menon (son of Jason Menon and Jessie Pilferson), though they aren’t going steady. Sebastian is in love with Lucy Grunt (daughter of Tank Grunt and Meadow Thayer), though they aren’t going steady.

The fourth kid is Roman Jocque. He’s a popularity sim who wants to reach the top of the law career. He’s in love with Ellie Greyson (daughter of Grayson Butler, named Irvin Stevenson in my game), though they aren’t going steady. Humorously, Ellie wants to become a cult leader. By dating a future lawyer, it sounds like she’s preemptively getting her ducks in a row ;)

The fifth and sixth Jocque kids are adopted. The fifth kid is Angelina Jocque, who is a family sim. She’s currently single, but her LTW is to reach a golden anniversary. The sixth kid is Kayla Jocque, who currently doesn’t have an aspiration. Her zodiac is Gemini, and since I’m playing by Cindy/PleasantSims’ zodiac/aspiration guide (with slight modifications), Kayla’s going to be a popularity sim once she ages.

For anyone who likes to play “guess the parents,” here’s some close-up’s of Angelina and Kayla. I’m playing with all Maxis hoods and Pleasantview townies.

Additionally, the Jocques have 3 pets. Scout, male dog. Smokey, male cat. And Pumpkin, female kitten.

Okay, I was kind of expecting that. It might be too early to tell, but I’m going to have the Landgraabs adopt a baby at the beginning of the next round. If it turns out that Violet’s actually pregnant, then I guess they’ll be raising 2 babies lol.

[black-plumbob]

Alright, so. I’ve got 3 in-game hours before switching from the Landgraab household to the Jocque household. If Violet isn’t pregnant, I think I’m going to have them adopt at the start of the next round.

Once the excitement of the day is over, Violet calls up her friends and invites them over for a sports party.

Betty’s woken by the sound of knocking at the door. Soon after, Violet introduces Betty to her younger sister, Kayla Jocque. But Betty instead takes a liking to Angela Pleasant, one of Violet’s dearest high school friends. Weird how she hasn’t seemed to have aged since then ;)

Meanwhile, Malcolm acquaints himself with Violet’s good friend, Cornwall Capp.

After arriving home, Violet cooks dumplings for the family. But Malcolm, always the workaholic, just wants to study cleaning.

Despite his studying, Malcolm is sure to fit in enough time to try again for a baby.

It’s 9:30 a.m. Violet is awake and fully rested. Malcolm is just waking, his eyelids still heavy with exhaustion. Meanwhile, Betty sleeps through the morning commotion.

Knowing it’s the last day of their vacation, Malcolm heads to the front desk. It isn’t until he’s in the lobby that he realizes he’s forgotten to dress himself.

Nevertheless, Malcolm checks out without further incident; and before long, the Landgraabs are packed and heading for the shuttle.

[black-plumbob]

Malcolm asks the tour guide if there’s anything going on tonight. The tour guide tells Malcolm there will be a midnight helicopter ride.

The Landgraabs get a quick bite. Unbeknownst to them, the unsavory charlatan is pickpocketing a nearby local.

Before long, the helicopter arrives, and the Landgraabs are off.

On the tour, Malcolm manages to fulfill one of his wants. 🎉

Afterwards, Malcolm decides to browse the clothing rack. Meanwhile, Violet and Betty nap on the beach.

After buying his new clothes, Malcolm rolls the want to have a baby. Now that the vacation is almost over, I’m excited! Malcolm and Violet have been together for so long I’m honestly surprised ACR hasn’t already given them children.

When the Landgraabs return to the hotel, it’s already 6 a.m. They head directly to bed, and try to catch a few hours of sleep before the shuttle arrives.

In the afternoon, the Landgraabs head to the boardwalk. It’s the last day of their vacation, and they’re determined to make the most of it. And for Malcolm, that means putting time into his logic skill so he can get a promotion once he gets home.
