The community cleanup project was going off extremely well in the eyes of Ben Causland. He was, afterall, spearheading the efforts, and the shore was merely weeks away from being clean and safe. So, he thought, why not celebrate?

Ben threw a party in honor of the entire cleanup committee to show his thanks. Everyone showed up dressed to the nines,

It Was Bound To happen

Nina hadn't spoken to her boyfriend since the school year had ended a month ago. She would call him when the telephone was free, but he always said those were the times he was busy. "You need to get a cellphone," he told her. "Then we would be able to talk."

News: Heat Wave in Port Manteaux!

Temperatures of 100 degrees and upwards have been recorded in Port Manteaux. Reports indicate that this could be part of a larger trend lasting a week or more. Residents are warned to stay indoors as much as possible and avoid any unnecessary physical labor. Two sims have already fallen unconscious  in their lawns from heat exhaustion.

Today, outside the administration building, mayor Erica Lansing met with reporters to issue a warning to residents. She was clammy and sweating, and warned everyone that this wasn't a situation to be taken lightly. She also had an announcement to make, something she couldn't hide anymore.



"My husband and I would like to announce and, in this case, confirm the rumors that we are expecting our second child. Christopher and I are thrilled and Maya can't wait to be a big sister. This will not affect my ability to do my job, but city council president Micah Campbell promises to stand in for me if any health issues should arise. And thank you to everyone who has wished us the best."

The mayor then jokingly said, "now, let's get this pregnant woman out of the heat!" before leaving the podium.

At home, she spent a little time outside with her daughter before they both started to overheat and moved inside.



Looks like it is going to be a good week for the lemonade stand industry.

Just Hold On

The day had started out as simply as any other day, except, on this day, Charlie got laid off.

All Good Things

Ingrid Burstrom had a passion, which is more than many other sims can say.

 

Barbeque in the Park!

>Barbeque in the Park is a regular event in Port Manteaux. There are cook-offs, free food to be had, games to be played, and sims enjoy the company of one another. Mayor Erica Lansing took advantage of this popular day to bring attention to an issue very important to her.

>A beginning!

>Welcome to the blog of the city of Port Manteaux!

But first: an introduction, perhaps? My name is Danie. I'm a student and bookkeeper by day and an obsessive sims enthusiast by night. I've been a member of the For Sims, By Sims community for about six years, though I won't say who my sims or 'hood was back in those days, in order to protect the innocent. Or, in some cases, not-so-innocent. ;)  My old neighborhood was Lemon Creek, and now I'm back with Port Manteaux.

I've made some very, very close friends through this community. Playing the game without the FSBS slant just isn't an option for me anymore, I've realized, and thus this blog is born. Stories, FSBS news updates, and gameplay chatter all may be expected from this blog. :) Now, about the town...

We are a bustling, diverse city located on the edge of the waterfront. Port Manteaux is a For Sims, By Sims community. Our fair city has a successful commercial district, a flourishing suburb where families are being raised, a modern, trendy waterfront, and a low-rent district.

There is much more to come for Port Manteaux, so stay tuned!
