Uberhood Round 1 Desiderata Valley

Valley in bloom

Desiderata Valley is next. In this town I moved in both the Kim and Kat families. I felt there houses fit the aesthetic best as Desiderata Valley has a rather eclectic mix of sims and household architecture.

Kim Household

The Kims are pre-set-up with the storyline that their TV show has been cancelled and they must survive in the 'real world'. Naturally Robert went into Entertainment, Cynthia became a posh stylist and Justine worked hard in school. In their main round Cynthia fell pregnant and subsequently had baby Nancy, and here she is!
Justin grew into a romance teen with plans of being a Rock God, Cynthia's business was steady but needs a lot of work, whereas Robert has excelled in his job and is now Level 9 headliner (and they said his TV career was over...) Oh and the pets still exist, and have jobs apparently haha!

Aspir Household


The Aspirs began their prep round as expected, with Victor wanting a baby and Elizabeth wanting a promotion. Both of these wishes were met in Round 1. Elizbeth gave birth to Fern and Pauline grew into a foodie loving child. Fern has since become the cute toddler above who is destined to love art (and hate it - she is a critic!). Victor was promoted early this round and focussed on his children the rest of the time, Elizabeth worked on skills and is now a Junior Executive. Luis spent most of his time doing his hobby of tinkering with all the toys and cars around the lot and cared for the children as mum and dad both worked hard, gaining quite a few skills and the flu along the way.

Jocque Household

Sophia and Marcel worked on another baby in the prep round which meant returning for the first round, Sophia was pregnant and gave birth to daughter Helena. Marcel, once a father again, learnt parenting and wanted a promotion, shame he has already spent too much time at the nectar bar, I blame his Cuisine (Fine Dining) hobby haha!
Violet has fallen out with Ricky after what went down at the Pleasant household and the only eligible teen boy for her to go to prom with was Dustin broke and now she is his BFF, will more come of this pairing? Might have to wait as Violet is off to Uni!

Bell Household

Despite the implied drama, the Bells have remained pretty wholesome if you ignore Sharon's WooHoo wants. In this first round, Hannah and Isaac both got promoted (somehow!?) and both never wanted to gain skills so it is hard making them actually get promoted. Daniel grew up into a teen who is Knowledge with a secondary Family. Sharon had relationships with Don Lothario, Julien Cooke and John Mole. In this first round she ensured each of those three lovers was a make out and woohoo, then moved onto Peter Ottomas, Herb Oldie was the plan but she didn't get on with him when they randomly met on a community lot. Sharon still hasn't fallen pregnant, I wonder when that will change?

Contrary Household

Opal and Edward spent all of their play time trying to gain the odd skill, some bits of their hobbies but working and getting some promotions (and one demotion for Edward). This left Rick alone in the prep and first round, and despite him doing well at school, his poor (red) aspiration and bad conversations with his parents (even though he does not consider them enemies anymore) he ran away...
As soon as Opal reported it he arrived back home more miserable. Poor Rick, but with a few skills and a day at the pool and work, Rick was happy enough to head off to college.

Mole Household

John is to me the epitome of a loner sim and has spent his set-up and first round working hard and falling further into love with Sharon Wirth. In this first round for John he had Sharon round every day WooHoo-ing almost every night (She must be pregnant now?!)
After a proposal, they ended the round a married couple and Sharon moved in, moved in with a want to WooHoo 5 sims... poor John...



Una Household

Natasha set up her own business 'The Creative Corner' in her prep round and became 'Self-Employed' with the mod for that career. Selling her pottery, sewing creations and works of art, she plans to make her money, enough to buy her beloved grilled cheese with. Natasha is a Secondary Knowledge sim and loves to study cooking. Having a Bronze Sales and Sewing badge means she can sell more items and better hopefully. But with her focus on grilled cheese sandwiches and her arts store, will she find love, especially considering she is bisexual, she has a few more options than most other sims.

Cooke Household

Julian  has been a bit of a loner, despite not being one and being a popularity sim. He spent his rounds working, out at the bar and coffee shop speaking to sims. In this first round, he took a liking to Lilith Pleasant, and I think his inappropriate trait is spot on with him because he kept wanting to hug her and invite her round - She is still a teen Julian!
Maybe they could be a couple in the next couple of days as she is about to age up or go to college. Julian might feel bad that everyone hates her?

Picaso Household

In the prep round the Picaso's just had a bit of couple alone time and moved into a house, so by the time the first round came, Jessica was pregnant the first night whilst Matthew was promoted at work. Another promotion and two sim working in military (plus a ROS £100 tax refund) has the Picasos really making a lot of money! Just in time for the twins to be born!
Will Iyanna and Kaeden grow up well with two busy military parents?


Kat Household

During the prep round, Tara focussed on her little cat family, which thanks to Samantha and Mickey's kitten doubled in size, bringing in Finley, Nell and Zoe. Tara also worked on her hobby of sewing, gaining a silver badge, and had a fling with Carlos Contender.
Now in her first round, Carlos is married and actually isn't contacting her to hook up strangely enough?! Andrew Martin became her new man and they went steady after lots of kissing and woohooing. Tara is not continuing wit her sewing and now has a gold badge to show for it, whilst also having sold her now adult kittens to Wanda Tinker, Vivian Riley, and Armand DeBateau. Tara may also be showing signs of pregnancy...

What sorts of fun stories do you have to tell with your own Desiderata Valley, be it a stand alone hood or part of an Uberhood?
