Wellington Gazette, October 2025

More pictures of Niall and Libby in October 2025 @ tumblr.


Notes:

• Yup, the unthinkable happened, Niall got engaged! Some time ago he rolled the want to get engaged to Libby. Now he rolled the want to get married to her so I thought it's about time to do something about it. He's 30 years old now and also I just realized that Romance is only his second aspiration so he'd probably want to settle down at some point. He acts so much like a Romance sim that I just kind of always thought that it's his primary aspiration but actually it's Knowledge. I should read my own notes more often. ;)
• I figured that being celebrities who get their photos taken by paparazzi all the time Libby and Niall would want to make just a simple announcement about their engagement. Also I kind of loved the idea of that picture so much that I really wanted to use it. I've updated the playable NPCs page so you'll see a proper picture of these two here.

Good to me

Round 16: October 2025

Max Fielding is 69 and Regan is 61.

(Patrick is 78 and Amabelle is 70.)

Narrated by Regan.

Max and I are in a really good place right now. We both work a lot less and have more time for each other. Max decided to retire from the TV show and concentrate on Music Maximum. I only work three days a week now so we have plenty of time to spend together.

Bed peace

Round 16: September 2025

Dawn Whitfield is 21, Finn Harris is 20 and Shea is 5.

(Rianna is 55, Denise is 39, Josh and Lilly are 20.)

Narrated by Dawn.

Unfortunately it turned out that Finn is allergic to birds. Soon after we bought Polly he started sneezing and coughing. One morning he woke up with both his eyes swollen shut. He got tested and he's allergic to birds and rodents which rules out getting a guinea pig as well.

Round 16: September 2025

Zach Whitfield is 21 and Josh Cooper is 20.

(Ryland and Jackie are 74.)

Narrated by Zach.

I think Josh's actions have really come to bite him in the ass this semester. He's obviously lost interest in Madison but her boyfriend (ex or current, I can't even tell anymore) Elliot can't seem to let go. He's acting like everything that happened was Josh's fault even though everyone knows it was Madison who made the first move.

To make matters worse they are roommates so it's pretty much impossible for Josh to avoid Elliot completely.

Happy Birthday, September 2025

Malia Newman is on third trimester now and she's taking it easy after some pre-term cramping and contractions. She's on maternity leave and loves the opportunity to spend some quality time with her daughter Briony.

Steal you away

Round 16: August 2025

Greg Newman is 32, Malia is 29, Briony is 1 and Iona Fielding is 13.

(Erin is 30, Skye is 13, Naomi is 2.)

Narrated by Iona.

I'm spending August at dad's and so far I've been pretty bored. Skye has a boyfriend now so we don't hang out as much as we did before. She comes around sometimes but even then she talks about Todd all the time. I'm happy for her but at the same time I'm kind of jealous - not because I'd want Todd for myself but because I'd really like to have a boyfriend who worships the ground I walk on. I had my first kiss with Jeremy Hayes last year - ok, so I kissed him but it totally still counts - but it's quite clear that he's not interested.
