The votes are in. Let's meet the new hood council!

So the votes are in, and we have the results.
I've put the poll on N99 as well, and I have to say that the outcome was quite different from here!
I've calculated the scores from both polls, and here are the results:

The Landgraab Estate - DimSimTown

For the N99 April Forum Project, we could ask for residential lots for our sims, and if you liked them you could place those lot in your hood - I've got a lot of new lots since that project!
At that moment I had my Landgraab family sitting in my family bin for quite some time, and I took the opportunity and let the house hunt on N99.

Let me first give you some information on the family:
Max Landgraab comes from a wealthy family. He's an only child, and always got what he wanted. When he was 33 he met Hélène Nova, and 2 years later they got married. At that time she was only 27. Another 2 years later they welcomed their son, Malcolm, in their family.
Max is the head of Landgraab Architects, located in downtown Simmeria, and the firm is doing great, they get hired for different kind of buildings, and every one seems very happy with their work.
Hélène is a fashio designer and the owner of different H&M stores all around SimsVille and Simmeria. She named her shops after her and Max (Hélène & Max). The stores are doing great as well and she's looking in to opening another one in DimSimTown.
Since their son turned 12, they moved to DimSimTown - suburb of SimsVille, to live closer to their jobs.
(Max is now 50, Hélène is 42 and Malcolm is 13)
And here is where I come with the house hunting, I was really uninspired to build one myself, and I wanted something I would never come up with, so I posted at N99.
These were their specs:

• Modern looking home
• At least 3 bedrooms, I don't exclude them expanding their family
• An office for Max
• A studio for Hélène
• They want a garden
• Suburban area

Birthdays - January 2022

We start this round with some birthdays. First we have Jill Forman who is celebrating her 1st birthday this January.

Playable NPCs

Since I have a whole list with all my playables I thought I'd introduce you to my playable NPC's too. After all they only become playable NPC's when they get involved with some of the playables, so they all share something with one of the playables.

So what  are playable NPC's? They are sims who get involved with my regular playables for a significant amount of time (not just girlfriend/boyfriend of the week), but where the relationship ends for one reason or another, or where they have been in a relationship for quite some time but they aren't engaged or married yet.
They are also sims who start a relationship all on their own, when I play a dorm or a community lot, or something else.

My playable NPC's don't have their own updates, but I do play them the exact same way I play my regular playables, which is 1 week per round. I follow the same rules with my playable NPC's as I do for my regular playables for everything. So they aren't that different from my regular playable, they just don't have their own updates.

At the moment I have about 18 playable NPC-family. I know that is a lot, but from some I'm sure they will eventually end up with one of my regulars.
But I do love them, I just couldn't write them off, and I love adding new genetics to my game and playing them without having to worry about getting out a good story.

 

The Benson Family: Emily Robins is the girl for who Berend Lillig left his girlfriend, and mother of his daughter, Ella Rai. Berend saw the relationship very different from Emily, as for her it just was a fling. They lived together for a short period of time, before breaking up. Not long after Berend moved out, Emily met Aaron Benson, and in 2023 they got married.

In November 2023 they became the proud parents of Julia and Liam.

When Tona became pregnant, very unexpectedly, their relationship cooled down quite a bit, and Niels never took much interest in Zoey.

When Samantha left SimsVille in August 2021, Niels decided to go with her, and cut off all ties with SimsVille, and all his women there.
In 2025 Niels returned to SimsVille. He now lives in a trailer park in Simmeria, and is trying to get some kind of relationship again with his ex-girlfriend, Tina Mishoen and their dautgher, Zoey.

The Brems Family: This family consisted originally of Magdalena and her twins sons, Cole and David. This family was created to give Cole a family, because I wanted him to have family.

When Bea graduated high school in 2027 she found a small apartment in Simmeria, where she also works in a restaurant. She hopes to one day open her own restaurant.
