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.

Beloved

Round 14: Autumn 2021


Brooke Harper is 29 and Charlie Greene is 27.
(Alexander and Bobbie are 70, Chase and Amabelle are 66, Alexa is 29 and Dixie is 27.)

Narrated by Charlie Greene.

Brooke has been pretty tense lately. I thought it might be because of work but one day during dinner she finally blurted out that she wants children.

"You mean right now?" I asked. She shook her head and rolled her eyes. Then she got up from the table and went to do the dishes. Apparently my attempt to humor wasn't so impressive to her. I've always thought that children are a definite part of our future. I guess she needed me to say it out loud.

Come as you are

Round 14: Autumn 2021


Kaitlyn Brennan, Stephen Marlowe and Eve Midlock are 20.
(Nicholas is 21.)

Narrated by Eve Midlock.

I can honestly say that I've gotten over my crush on Stephen. Now I just think that he and Kaitlyn make such a sweet couple. I think part of the reason I was so attracted to him is that he seems to be a really great boyfriend.

So many friends

Round 13: Summer 2020


Tom Patterson is 27 and Dixie Greene is 26.
(Bobbie and Alexander are 69, Toby and Brooke are 28, Charlie is 26 and Erin is 25.)

Narrated by Dixie Greene.

Tom and I are trying to think of ways to make more money. We like our house but we want to get a bigger one. It doesn't feel so bad in the summer when we can spend time outside but it's hard to have guests over when there's barely room for the two of us. I even did lottery one week and won. But it was only €160 which isn't even half of my one day's salary so it didn't help a lot.

Happy Birthday, Summer 2020

Mia Greene is really excited that she's going to be a big sister in the Winter. She's even more excited when Patsy, or Mama as Mia calls her, tells her that there are two new babies on the way!

Better

Round 13: Winter 2020


Erin Fielding is 25 and Iona is 8.
(Toby is 28.)

Narrated by Erin Fielding

Iona is staying at Greg's for a few days so it's been incredibly quiet around here. I don't usually even bother to cook for myself, I just heat something in the oven. I guess I have to get used to this because Iona seems to enjoy spending time with her dad a lot and she likes Malia too.

Greg and Malia finally set the date for their wedding. They're gonna have a very low-key ceremony in the autumn with just their closest friends as guests.

Wellington Gazette, Summer 2018

Notes:

• I haven't posted anything for the Gazette in a long time so I thought I'd use it to announce Greg and Malia's engagement. Their engagement won't be counted in the round summary though since they are playable NPC's.

Closer

Round 11: Autumn 2015


Amabelle and Chase Harper are 60, Alexa is 23 and Will Monroe is 30.

Narrated by Alexa Harper

Will moved in to live with us a few months ago. This has been the happiest time of my life. It's so great to finally spend more time together. I think mom and dad are also quite happy that one of their kids will continue living in the mansion and renovating it.

Darling pretty

Round 10: Winter 2013


Alexander and Bobbie Greene are 62, Patsy Greene and Camryn Mitchell are 22. 
(Charlie, Dixie and Janie are 19, Tom is 20 and Brooke is 21.)

Narrated by Patsy Greene.

I was quite hesitant to move in with my parents after graduation because it seems that dad didn't quite approve my relationship to Camryn. He's always been very cold to her and has barely answered if she spoke to him. It all seemed to have changed when we had dinner together.

Always on my mind

Round 9: Spring 2012


Thomas Marlowe is 25, Camryn Mitchell and Patsy Greene are 21, Alexa Harper and Brooke are 20 and Greg Newman and Tom Patterson are 19.
(Nyah is 26, Dixie is 18 and Erin is 17.)

Thomas's dorm mates weren't as shocked as he had expected when they heard he's about to become a father. He's a few years older than the others and he and Nyah have been together "for ages". Nyah and her big belly are quite a familiar sight at the Greenleaves Hall nowadays so nobody pays them much attention.

Sex on fire

Round 9: Winter 2011


Patrick Marlowe is 64, Vicki is 60, Stephen is 10, Alexandra Hayes is 37, Aaron and Ethan are 3 and Quinn Myerson is 35.
(Bobbie and Alexander are 60 and Thomas is 24.)

Narrated by Vicki Hayes

Patrick retired last year so he looks after the twins while Alexandra and I are at work. I think he's really enjoying his new role as a grandfather.

This is how I disappear

Round 8: Winter 2010


Sam Cooper is 32 and Grace Robinson is 27.

Narrated by Sam Cooper

Grace and I have been apartment hunting for a few months now. We hate this apartment and now we finally have enough money to get a bigger one without taking a huge loan.

Sunny day

Round 7: 2005-2008

Narrated by Ben Cooper.

Let's face it, my apartment building is kind of a dump! The common area only has a tiny basketball court and a few benches to sit on. And the apartments aren't that great either.

All this time

Round 7: 2005-2008

Narrated by Anthony Midlock.

I had a day off work so I thought this would be a good time to study some music theory. I want to advance in my career, the judging thing really isn't my cup of tea.

Ivory tower

Round 7: 2005-2008

Olivia hasn't been using birth control, after all she is almost 50. But it seems that age hasn't really affected her fertility since she's pregnant.

Cave

Round 6: 2001-2004

Narrated by Carlo Moreno.

I like lying awake and waiting for Alexandra to wake up. I've quit the army so no more early mornings for me. I got a job in the Slacker career instead, I think it suits me quite well. Sometimes I think Lexie deserves a better man than me but I love her too much to leave her.

Don't stop the music

Round 4: 1991-1995

Little Nyah Fielding has left the toddler days behind her and is about to start school. On her last night as a careless child she enjoys a nice dinner that the nanny has cooked.

Open water, stormy weather

Round 4: 1991-1995

Stella and Deacon start their day with a grueling workout at the gym before they head off to work.

Here comes the sun

Round 3: 1986-1990

Alexander has finally gotten his chance in the athletic career. He's a rookie in the Wellington Lions football team. He needs to bulk up to make it out of the bench and into the game.
