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 Belladonna Cove

Springtime in Bella's Cove

Now to the final sub hood I have in my Uberhood and the ending to Round 1. But with this town by far the richest of them all, will they splash the cash to fulfil lots of wants, or does money truly not by you happiness?

Contender Household

Carlos spent the set-up round Woohooing Jessica and Tara Kat. In the prep round for Jessica she had a few days and woohooed with Carlos (becoming engaged too), Gilbert Jacquet, Gabriel Green, and Darren Dreamer. At the start of the Contender first round they married and Jessica of course moved in and immediately wanted to buy jewellery and clothes with her aging husband's money.

After Carlos woohooed with Marylena Hamilton, his townie friend. Jessica came home pregnant nearer the end of their round, but how will this baby grow up with both parents having a wondering eye?

Baldwin Household

In their set-up round the Baldwins had work and woohoo on their mind. Meaning the first round has Isabel pregnant, whilst little Sofia was working hard to get the best grade she could, and she did! Now a teen, Sofia has been flirting with Daniel Bell and the two have had their first kiss and WooHoo already, but will their crush become more? Marcus has grown into a sporty child and wants to make friends, sounds to me like Marcus is going to be a Popularity sim however, we will have to find out.
Isabel and Benjamin are now job focussed and skill/learning generally focussed. Benjamin wants to make friends but I suppose that is his inner popularity sim isn't it?
So that leaves us with the new baby, Vincent, who looks like his features are more of Benjamin than Isabel I feel, what do you think?

Riley-Cho Household

In my set-up they did what the plan from Maxis was, and fell in love and WooHooed, now at their first round they were married instantly and the Chos moved into the Riley's place.
Etsu was a bit of a nightmare because she needed all of her skills and it was heart to teach them all in the two days she had left as a toddler. Plus having four sims in this small apartment meant within a few minutes of playing them I knew they were moving into a house at the end of this round! With the amount of money the family have Sally was enrolled into Private School, when Etsu grew up finally she too went straight to private school despite her hating her life and growing up terribly and always wanting to tantrum!
Sally grew into the Knowledge Sim she was planned as with her Max 7 skills lifetime want. But my calculator had her as a Popularity and so that is her secondary aspiration. Now the round is over, Vivian is now pregnant and the family have moved into a new house



DeBateau Household

Armand fell for Samantha Cordial in the set up round and finally in the first round they got married at my newly built 'Church of the Hills' built in Riverblossom Hills. 
Samantha got a promotion and found out she was pregnant in this round, Tara reached her A+ she wanted and the top of the political career. Despite not initially getting long, Tara and Samantha do seem to be liking each other now.
When Ophellie arrived near the end of the round, Samantha was now a resident at work and enjoying living in her new penthouse suite. Tara is constantly rolling the University want, as a knowledge sims she will go regardless in my gameplay rules. Armand has been pretty chilled when not at work, playing video games, painting and watching TV, now with a new-born baby, will his life have a new focus and drive?

Cleveland Household

The prep and main round were both rather uneventful for the Clevelands. The biggest scandal was Jason's sleeping with his brother in law which no one knows about. He worked hard at work to become Detective. Marissa started writing novel and article to make some cash and became the socialite she is contacting and befriending as many of the rich sims that she can, probably hoping to make  match for her beloved heir and son. Justin focused on school, work and going to uni (pushed by his mother). He has become close to a now teen Sally Riley, wonder if that will lead to anything?

Rutherford Household

Geoff started off woohoo-ing his brother in law, his best friend and roommate and eventually found himself engaged to Dina Caliente. The first round was played with the intention they would wed at the end, as per Dina's want to marry a rich sim. Connor was more focussed on work and skills than finding a love match and his crush on Cleo Shikibu has gone nowhere in his own round.
The wedding began at the Church of the Hills and maybe didn't end as expected...
Previously Dina found Connor and Geoff making out, and he had apologised profusely but it seems that it was no good to Dina and his money could pay for her heartbreak.
Whatever will Geoff do now? Oh wait, there is Jason Larson...

Green Household

Gabriel has previously been hooking up with Jessica Peterson but now married he has left her alone. Falling for Brandi broke was next for Gabriel, but too many drinks and a WooHoo with Chastity, left him wanting to ask for her hand in marriage.
Chastity meanwhile despite her nature, was smitten for Geoff Rutherford and after his break up from Dina was probably a rebound with Chastity.
The next day they got engaged, but Chastity feared the engagement, the marriage wanted to WooHoo (but not Gabriel), in comes Carlos Contender ... Excuse the pun ...
Now Gabriel already had a dislike for Carlos, so you could imagine the terror to ensue when he catches Carlos and Chastity in bed...
By the next morning the pair were at breaking point and sharing a bathroom was too much, Chastity broke up the engagement, demanding separate bank accounts and all their own money.
Chastity spent the rest of the round having more fun with man after man. First Julien Cooke, followed by Sanjay Ramaswami, the latter of which she wanted to invite over every day. You can imagine my shock when Chastity was not pregnant and began her period. Gabriel kept working on skills and gained a promotion just like Chastity had done earlier in the round.

Patel Household

The Patels had baby Faheem in the initial set-up round and so when beginning their first round they were busy new parents trying to juggle work and their new born son. Ramir got promoted in his political career but will need quite a few more skills if he plans on getting promoted once more. Ana is currently pregnant again and is due to give birth moments after we get back to them in the next round. Ana has also spent this round caring for the new-born and some work and due to the ROS I have implemented in my gameplay she is also needing to write a cookery book. However, she was far too unpredictable in her early pregnancy to complete it this round. Ana and Ramir are both Cuisine sims and are constantly wanting to cook and eat food (a couple after my own heart!)
Will young (and cute!) Faheem remain the centre of his parent's world when the new baby sibling arrives?

Cordial Household

Playing these for 1 day, to try to match the ages up when Samantha married Armand, although it seems to have thrown Sam and Kim's ages out of sync somehow, oh well, SimPE to the rescue haha!
Kim now alone for the rest of the round began with a party and hit it off with Geoff Rutherford, and she would make a great match for him, and so a cheeky little flirt, shame her boyfriend Cyd Roseland was stood behind her, and now he is furious with her. After that good party, Kim focussed on skills and work with the odd want peppered in there for making friends and having fun. She is truly showing what a Knowledge/Popularity combo sim is stereotypically like.
Cyd clearly did not take this betrayal well and daily (and I mean daily!) he would com and knock the bin over or steal the newspaper a couple of times, sometimes he would do both together. Kim had had enough and broke it off with him and his crazy ways! So with gaining skills, friends, and fighting the vermin; Kim barely had time for her painting hobby.

Gavigan Household

Well the Gavigans in their first round set up were pretty under the radar, boring, poor, not friends. But this round have truly had a change in fortunes, and it is all thanks to little Isaiah's genie lamp. Nathan wished for wealth as the fortune sim he is and they are now catapulted into the rich list. Mary had a new baby and the Gavigan's gained little Whitleigh. But with Nathan having the skills and not the friends to progress in his Law career the family are feeling a little stunted. Rolling my ROS has meant that Mary is actually infertile using the RCC, but she is still so desperate for a third baby, instead filling her time with a new career as a law Enforcement Cadet. With lots of options for the future of this family, where will the next round take them?

Newson Household

Moving the Newsons into a scummy looking hovel in the rough area of Belladonna Cove and spending all their money on 'junk' furniture meant they are poor and eclectic, adding to their difficulty as a family. 
Gavin went to uni pretty early in the round and so I had to go and play the uni round before completing these to keep my aging ( and my perfectionism OCD) in line. NOTE I have decided to play my Uni/college round blog-less, its pretty hectic when I play and I find it sometimes too tedious and blogging alongside may remove what fun it does have to play that round, but don't worry my dear readers, you will learn the stories as we move in our freshly graduated sims.
Gavin moves back in with his Biology degree and some cash in the bank. And of course as a fortune sim, splurges it instantly and basically sends the poor family into debt, oops! 
Ginger was desperate to date and out at the teen hangout she found Dustin broke so attractive and started flirting with him, as Angela arrived. Once they were broken up, Ginger swooped in and got her first kiss, desperate to make him her boyfriend

Now selling all the rubbish they have, Gavin is finding a way to steer this sinking shit of a household. How will this terribly poor and awkward gang of misfits make it through life?

Goodie Household

The Goodie's being the elder couple they are can be quite boring. These in their set-up 5 day round were unbearable to play they just wanted to slow dance, smooch and build skills. So I decided to have them host the grand ball, a meet up for the High Class sims (of which they are) and meet future matches and friends. Afterall, high class usually wants to breed with high class whether it archaic or not. The Grand Hall was built and the first ball held, 3 eligible bachelors were chosen to be the focus and Malcolm IV, Geoff Rutherford and Xander Roth scoped out the room and talked with their best matches - Will this lead anywhere, next round will have to be where we find out!

What sorts of fun stories do you have to tell with your own Belladonna, be it a standalone hood or part of an Uberhood?
