Uberhood Round 2 Upper Class Households

The new Mr and Mrs Goth

Goth Household

Like Betty wanted, Mortimer and she married at the beginning of this round with Alexander and his new girlfriend watching (Tessa Ramirez). Coral Oldie also crashed this small and intimate wedding haha!
Alexander got a promotion and got fat this round and had his first WooHoo with Tessa. The newly weds enjoyed their time together, kissing, doing hobbies and generally doing what elderly sims do.

Pleasant Household

It would seem that being rich has rekindled Mary-Sue and Daniels romantic passions for one another and they have spent a lot of time in the first few days of this round WooHoo-ing in Angela's tent. Of course the girls were fighting but a visit from Dirk meant Lilith had other priorities with her lover and Angela went sunbathing by the pool. Soon enough the time came for both to head to college.

Here Angela sunbathes whilst Lilith and Julien Cooke chat and flirt

Whilst at college Mary-Sue got promoted and Daniel began searching for his next lover. Now the girls have returned will both girls end up with the right lover, both have two men on the go, like father like daughter eh?

Jacquet Household

The Jacquet round began with Cassandra getting her baby bump. Gilbert despite being a romance sim in the slacker career and with no degree, actually focussed well on work during this time and was not interested in WooHoo-ing at all and did not cheat on Cassandra this round. Perhaps he has turned a new leaf I think? Probably not Haha!
After a couple of promotions Gilbert was Level 7 Home Video Editor and earning a decent amount of cash for the family, but a few things transpired and changed this family's future.
Cassandra had an easy pregnancy, in fact on reflection it was probably one of the easiest pregnancies I have ever played, she gave birth to daughter Eugenie Jacquet.
Now a grandma, Denise wanted to head to the J'Adore bakery to earn some cash, I changed the cash register for an automartic one and she made a good start selling hr desserts and making some stars and a business rank up, then a few bum sales the business lost all it's ranks and she sacked the only worker and went running home to tell her son, the owner...
Now promoted, a father, and with his mother ruining his business (one he has never been to I must admit!) Gilbert quit his job and sold his business. Yes that gave him £50K in the bank and still loads in the family funds, but will they be able to live off all this cash? Plus their house is now feeling cramped with a dog and a baby in the midst.

Landgraab Household

Malcolm began the round rich and due to working hard at both his businesses he is now even richer thanks to the money gifting business perks. Club Dante and The Electronics Center are both thriving with managers in place.
This has meant that the latter end of his round, Malcolm could focus on his family line and dynasty. Melody Tinker is the perfect match for him as I discussed in a previous blog post and after a proposal and quick wedding they end this round in wedded bliss.

Ramirez Household

Little Xavier grew up the first day into a neurotic and athletic young toddler. Checo went to his furniture store and made a killing, and so I decided to expand his store to focus on high end products ditching all that cheap crap outside in the yard and instead getting more expensive items. Lisa that same day got a promotion to Specialist in hr Medical Career.
That leads me to Tessa, and oh boy has she had a heck of a round...
Firstly her parents put her into Smuggworth Prep Boarding School (this is a new to me mod I have just added in and it fit the Ramirez's well I felt.) She returned from school and boom she got a baby bump. Yes Teenage Tessa Ramirez is pregnant and despite having a couple of romances on the go, she has so far only done her WooHoo with Alexander Goth. These two upper class families will have big decisions to make!

After much discussion and decisions made, the outcome was...

Alexander and Tessa wed to legitimise their baby. When little Bianca Goth came along it was decided she would spend the rest of this round with her mother. Next round she would spend with her father (who would be going to college) in the Goth Household and then Mortimer and Betty would raise her until both Alex and Tessa were ready to re-join the family.
How will this arrangement work out, we will have to wait until the Goth round next time to see how it all goes...

Roth Household

Stella's hard work came back in leaps and bounds with a double triple this round, now to a higher level than her husband! Morty is not far behind and will likely be promoted again soon.
Sandra came back this round from uni and is now on the search for a job and a husband. Despite wants for Jacob martin (literally all the time!) they are angry with each other ever since she found him with Angela Pleasant when we were playing his round. This meant she has ended up with Justin Cleveland and the two are now an item. I wonder if in the Cleveland round they will take this further? She already wants to marry!
Lastly Xander, now in Boarding School, he has spent this round desperate to make his thing with Pauline Aspir official!
A successful WooHoo for Sandra Roth and Justin Cleveland but with her constantly hungry and tired, it may mean their relationship is about to become a throuple...

Kim Household

Cynthia Kim's in-home salon was thriving this round and ranked up, giving Cynthia the cash business perk. With little aging up this round, we focused on hobbies, skills and had a pretty easy round. With a final perk for Cynthia, her round with her salon was complete. Robert was promoted to Level 9 in the Entertainer career and is ready to reach the top. Justin has worked out and worked hard at school, leaving little Nancy, who has aged up to be a slob and a lover of yellow.

Contender Household

The Contender round was as expected for the most part. Jessica and Carlos both were WooHoo-ing with each other and behind each others back. Jessica was pregnant this round and gave birth to their daughter Francisca, a red headed cutie!
The only major drama was the pair finding each other in the arms of another and have some fury from that, but they are already romantic once more and will continue to be I am sure.

Baldwin Household

The Baldwins began with Isabel and Marcus heading to the park for some family fun.
Upon return to the family, Sofia found out she was pregnant. As a teenager. With lower-class Daniel Bell. Being a Romance Sim and knowing her parent would not approve and Daniel was not overly family focussed, she decided to not become a mother at this time and entered into boarding school when the matter was finalised.
Isabel and Benjamin both worked hard this round and tried to maintain family status in what has become a rather cramped space for this family of five. It all came crashing down for Benjamin when thanks to a chance card he lost his job and was demoted to Level 1 Test Subject.
Will this family plateau after all the upheaval now that all the children are growing or is more big changes on the way?

Riley Household

Now in their own house the Riley's have grown well. Etsu became a teenager, looking a lot like her deceased father, she became a bookworm with a focus on family a lot like her mother. Viv gave birth to her and Tim's daughter Ivy who looks a lot like her mother. Tim was promoted and Sally made a little move on Justin Kim but it never got very far.

DeBateau Household

Armand and Samantha loved their shared parenthood and right at the end of this round had a second child, a son Henri. During this round Tara went to University and will return next round and Samantha got promoted to Level 6 of the Medical Carer.
That is this family in a nutshell.

Cleveland Household

Within a few days Justin returned home from college and like his father was desperate to join the Law Enforcement career. Justin quickly flew up the ranks and after a dodgy chance card, surpassed his father and became his boss. Marissa continued with her writing this round, writing books and article to make some money, but the biggest shock for her came when the ROS gave her £100K jackpot win, in which she quickly invested half for herself and half for her son, making a tidy regular interest via Monique's computer.
More money equals more clothes in Marissa's eyes. Here is her new outfit.

Justin and Sandra were already engaged by the end day of the round and thinking how Marissa would be, they ended the round getting married and moving out. Here is the moment before two families were united.
This lead to Justin and Sandra wedding, moving out and into the apartment opposite, forming two Cleveland families.

Rutherford Household

Geoff after a quick WooHoo with Jason Larson spent a lot of this round wooing Kimberly Cordial and did a lot of WooHoo with her, I will be surprised if she is not pregnant...
Connor continued his steady relationship with Cleo, but a late day to work lost him his job the day after he had been promoted to Vice President Level 7 in her career. Whether because he felt stuck with Cleo or whether he had lost his mind slightly with his fall from a high end career, but Connor went over to Geoff and proposed marriage and Geoff accepted. I had not realised that a sim could be steady with one sim and marry another, that is interesting potential game play to know Mwuaha!
Minutes later Geoff, who had just finished kissing Kimberly whom he had invited over prior to the proposal from Connor, did a WooHoo with Kimberly and Connor saw, and broke up that very short lived (20ish in game minutes) proposal.
Now with their relationship pretty much unrepairable they decided to part as friend after lots of playing chess, so Connor moved out at the end of the round and can now move in with Cleo when Patricia leaves her on her own when she leaves to move in with Gabe O'Mackey, this is like hermit crabs here, everyone swapping houses at once haha

Patel Household

The Patel's round began with Ana giving birth later that morning to son Kripa, but tragedy struck...
Thanks to Ramir's convincing plea, Ana was saved from death and little Kripa would grow up with his mother around. When Ana and Ramir had gathered enough friends, Ramir was promoted to Congressperson.
At the end of the round Ana gave birth to their 3rd son Levi and that means more time off work for her.

Ramir now has a wife and 3 sons to support, will his job as a Congressman be enough in this now bursting at the seams apartment?

Cordial Household

Kim had an easy round, she was working for most of it and did get promoted to Level 7 and did many WooHoos with Geoff, but no pregnancy. In the final night Kim now ready with friends and skills for her next promotion went on a date with Geoff and got engaged to him, but will he turn her down at the alter? We will have to find out next round...

Gavigan Household

Coming later in 2025

Goodie Household

Coming later in 2025

Uberhood Round 2 Middle Class Households

With my recent class system post (please go and read if you're interested) I have now decided to move to playing my rotation (this round at least) by class. One, to get me more acquainted who is in which class, but second and more important so I can have some variety between the hoods and families.

Lothario Households

Don spent this round with more WooHooing. He has been working his way through the single ladies in town and his co-workers. It is  like a sitcom! He is the hunky Doctor who WooHoos with all the nurses haha! One of his new dalliances was Natasha Una, who seems rather taken by him. Will she tame the infamous Casanova of Pleasantview?
I am just surprised no one is carrying his child yet!

Traveller Household

Tabitha and Tina both grew up in this round. Tina is growing up to be a little spoilt and childish. Tabitha, however, is evil and mean spirited, sounds like she will be a joy to play when we age her up again.


Trent got promoted and Trisha finally rolled a career want, becoming a journalist. Last round Trent, via my ROS, rolled to kill another Sim. This round he selected Angela Pleasant as his victim. This is beginning to sound a planned out murder oops...

Delarosa Household

Florence was a rather boring round as she continued to sell her wares and make some money, gaining a few ranks in her business, but nothing more. 

Gieke Household

Chester was a pretty easy round, he worked hard, got a promotion and fell further into love with his cleaner Kaylynn Langerak. But will their relationship go further or result in a marriage or children?

Roseland Household

Well as the picture shows, Cyd is dead and so is the Roseland line...
How did we get there I hear you ask. Well...
Cyd was doing well this round, with 2 promotions he was now Level 8 of his Science Career. But painting outside for hours, combined with the flu was shown to be a deadly outcome. Overheating dropped his hunger, then a coughing fit dropped it further and he too dropped... to the floor...
Who will adopt little Porthos the dog now?

Wan Household

Patricia and Cleo both focussed on their blossoming romances and their careers. Cleo spent a lot of time doing her reading hobby and building skills for a promotion. Patricia despite spending time with Gabe never got any further with him.
After 2 firings, Patricia has stuck around level 1 and 2 in her career despite desperately wanting to progress. But ROS rolled to force a pregnancy and she ended up this round carrying Gabe's child, whilst her future step-daughter was already with child.

O'Mackey Household

This round Gabe was focused on career and skills again and never had a single want for Patricia, I am beginning to think they will never be married. But actually with her ROS roll to get pregnant, she will be moving in with the O'Mackey's in the next round and Gabe and her will be (forcibly) paired up into a relationship to raise this baby. 
Ironically whilst we may have been desperate for Patricia and Gabe to have a baby, Jules who only wanted a WooHoo with David Ottomas, has also found herself pregnant and due the following morning after we return to this family. Will she stay or will David in his round have other ideas?

Larson Household

Jason and Jodie have once again been focussed on their little business, trying to maintain their economic status ( and just achieving it), ranking their business up  and have thus far not focussed on careers elsewhere, love or family, but could that change now they are both nearly 40?

Aspir Household

The Aspirs lived a pretty humble and normal family round. After Taxes basically made them bankrupt. the family have worked hard to maintain their Middle Class status. Elizabeth is now Senior Manager at work. Pauline grew into a Teen in this round and like is destined for her, she became a Knowledge Sim, but because of her having a higher Pleasure sim score on my calculator she is a secondary Pleasure Sim. Little Fern grows up a day after and the family seem set to remain strongly Middle class as a happy little family unit.
But as it does so often for us Simmers, Flu strikes and Victor dies, to make it worse Luis kicks and smashes his urn up and everyone one else wants to resurrect him. Thankfully there is already a lamp in this household as set up by EA and so Victor is swiftly resurrected to end this round off. Here is Pauline as a teen and her little sister Fern.

Una Household

Natasha continued selling her artistic wears, gaining new badges in pottery, sales and restocking. Ranking her business up twice left Natasha a very rich spinster and with her cousin Luis' want for a relative to get engaged, over appears Don Lothario, whom Natasha has a crush on (I promise I did not invite him very much on purpose). After some flirting and WooHoo, they were in love and Natasha popped the question. Now engaged and rich, what will life hold for Natasha in the next round where she will be moving to the upper class.

Cooke Household

Despite love affairs with Chastity Gere, Nina Caliente, and Sharon Mole; Julien had not found his true love. I had suspicions that he and Lilith would make a nice duo and now she was an adult he invited her over and they did hit it off. After multi WooHoo-ing sessions, lots of flirting and cuddling the duo were deeply and madly in love. But regardless of his feelings, Julien ended the round with a promotion to Sous Chef and nothing more solid in a romantic relationship to show other than his love for Lilith. I wonder if she will feel a need to push their relationship further after her college round?

Contrary Household

The Contrarys had quite an easy round really. Opal and Edward focussed on skills and their career promotions. Late in the round, Rick arrived home from college and still has a terrible relationship with them. Will he move out to be with Violet or Angela?

Picaso Household

The Picaso's round was tough. Twin toddlers is always a rough time and this family was no different. Earning good money through work and promotions in the Military career has meant that Jessica and Matthew have been able to extent their house an entire floor and are ready for their family to grow once more as Jessica is pregnant again at the end of this round.

Viejo Household

Catherine now as the only elderly lady in the house had very few romance wants and mostly just played her piano and cared for herself. Andrew got a make over from last rounds ROS and then a promotion at work. When Jacob arrived he was torn between his fiancé Sandra Roth and Angela Pleasant and due to his wants, both were invited over and he was flirting with them in tandem. After eventually WooHoo-ing with Angela, Sandra broke up with him despite being desperate for a marriage and baby.
Will Jacob stick with Angela now?

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?
