Capp family

The Capp family lives in Veronaville. They are involved in a feud with the Monty Family. Juliette Capp is currently in a secret relationship with the Monty heir, Romeo Monty.

Names
As all the other residents of Veronaville, members of the Capp family are named after characters of Shakespeare's plays; the exception is Consort Capp (see Consort's name).

Juliette and Tybalt are named after Romeo and Juliet characters, while their younger sister Hermia is named after a character from Midsummer Night's Dream. Goneril, Albany, Cordelia, Regan, Kent, and Cornwall are all characters from King Lear. Desdemona is named after a character from Othello, and Caliban, Miranda, and Ariel are named after characters from The Tempest.

Scribonia Capp, Octavius Capp, Cleopatra Capp, Antony Capp, Calpurnia Caesar, Julius Casear and Caliban Capp, who have graves in the cemetery at Capp Manor, are named after famous Ancient Romans.

Inheritance
Instead of the wife taking the husband's surname, the husband takes the wife's last name, meaning that the family is matrilineal and that the head of the House of Capp is Goneril Capp. This is also proved by Consort Capp's name - consort means spouse of the head of a royal or noble family (note that Consort's late spouse is named Contessa, which means countess in Italian, hinting that the Capp family might be noble). Capps can thus be easily married only to the Summerdreams, as they too are matrilineal, while the Monty family is patrilineal.

The line of succession to the headship of the House of Capp is as follows:


 * 1) Miranda Capp, daughter of Goneril
 * 2) Desdemona Capp, daughter of Goneril
 * 3) Ariel Capp, daughter of Goneril
 * 4) Regan Capp, daughter of Contessa
 * 5) Tybalt Capp, son of Cordelia
 * 6) Juliette Capp, daughter of Cordelia
 * 7) Hermia Capp, daughter of Cordelia

Player stories

 * The Capp family has Tybalt, Hermia, Juliette, and Consort. Juliette has a crush on Romeo in the start of the game. On mine, they grew up and got married, but Romeo died in a fire =(


 * On my game, I didn't pay any attention to Juliette and what's-his-name, Romeo; instead, I made Bianca Monty and Kent Capp (both premade) get married (I moved them into separate houses and made Kent move in w/ Bianca). Anyway, Bianca is pregnant, but their families don't know. They talk on the phone with family frequently in secrecy, but I'll soon make one of them explode and come out of their "safe zone".


 * On my game, I had Bianca and Kent get married and since I used cheat codes they have a really big house. They had twin girls and then Bianca got pregnant and had a boy.  I wanted her to have ten kids so I got her pregnant with the Tombstone of L&D and sped up the pregnancy.  But unfortunately, she got twins that time too.  Now, she has two children and three babies and since I had a lot of trouble with twin toddlers I really don't want to deal with three toddlers.  I'm not playing them anymore.  I also put Tybalt and Juliette living together in college.  Tybalt is engaged I think, but since Romeo's not in college yet I don't think Juliette has any special someone's.


 * Ok this is my entire Capp family story. Tybalt grew up and got married to a CAS of mine named Elise. They moved back into Capp Manor and looked after Consort until he eventually died of old age. As of now, they currently have no children. Tybalt has been too focused on his career. He wants to be a sucessful business man like his grandfather. Juliette graduated from college and got married to Romeo. They moved in with Isabella Monty right after Patrizio Died. Juliette is currently pregnant. Hermia kissed Puck Summerdream at a party at the Summerdream's house in front of Mercutio. She and Mercutio split up. Later she married Puck. They have no children either but they really want one. Kent Capp thought he was being a burden to his sister and her husband. He moved out and found a place of his own. He is currently single. Things never worked out for him and Bianca Monty because she married Cyd Roseland (from the Pets expansion). Regan and Cornwall have a daughter named Gwin who is a toddler. Goneril and Albany's oldest daughter Miranda ended up getting married to Mercutio Monty. They have no children. Hal and Desdemona are teens. Hal is getting serious with Beatrice Monty but they aren't going steady yet. Desdemona is still single. She's extremly picky, but she has her best friend Bottom Summerdream. Ariel is a child enjoying life. I think that covers them all!

I had Juliette and Romeo date until they got in college. She went and he didn't go, so they broke up. Juliette ended marry a guy she meet at college and Romeo ended up marrying his co-worker. But I had Hermia and Mercutio Monty fall in love. They were caught in bed by Consort Capp. She then was locled in her room and was starved to death. Then Mercutio killed himself by eating plant. Juliette's daughter and Romeo's son meet in college. I plan to get them together. It was werid too because I didn't plan on them falling in love. Until Heather(Juliette's daughter) whistled as Carson (Romeo's son) walked by.


 * I played around with each of the Capp and Monty families, in a certain order. I had Consort take over the real estate office in Bluewater village, which is now called Capp Real Estate Office. Then I had Kent fall in love with Bianca Monty, and move out of Regan and Cornwall's home to live in a new one with Bianca, where she became Bianca Capp. Then I went to Goneril's home and got her a job as a doctor, while her husband Albany got one as a politician. One of their daughters, Miranda Capp, is another rebellious one and is fooling around with Mercutio Monty, Romeo's brother, but at the same time, she's also fooling with other sims around the neighborhood. At Consort's home, Tybalt grows up and moves out, while Consort is angered as Romeo is seen around the house with Juliette a lot more often. Hermia however, has her eye on Puck Summerdream. Consort is promoted to business Tycoon, and also develops a lady friend. Over at Regans, she and Cornwall are expecting their first child. While she is pregnant, Regan is a junior executive in business, while Cornwall is a Campaign person in politics, they soon get more promotions. Regan soon gives birth to a baby boy, whom they name Julius Jeremy Capp (i give them middle names, but do not actually put them in the name itself for they would be too long). He is the first grandson for Consort in many years, and also was the start of a small baby boomer for Capp grandchildren. After he is about 3 days old, I go to Kent amd Bianca. Over at Kent's new home, Bianca falls pregnant with their first child. By this time, Kent has his job back and is a top secret researcher, while Bianca is a nurse. After a few days, another Capp is born. Bianca gives birth to a baby boy, whom they name Lysander Escobar Capp. This child is very special, because he is the first creation of both Capp, and Monty blood. After this child turns about 1 and a half days old, I move to Goneril and Albany, whom of which fall pregnant with their fifth child. Soon. Goneril goves birth once again, to a bouncing baby boy, whom they name Hamlet Gabriel Capp. He is the last of the baby boomer. (i keep ages consistent, so i always make sure that Julius stays a little older than Lysander and Hamlet, and that Lysander stays a little older than Hamlet). Then I go to Tybalt. He marries a young woman named Melanie. She becomes pregnant, but I leave it at that for the time being. I then go to Consort's manor, where Juliette finally becomes and adult. Romeo is also an adult, and when Juliette visits him for a date, it ends in them sleeping together(I've got an interesting story line planned for these two!). After they finish, Romeo proposes to Juliette, and she accepts. She leaves ecstatic, while Romeo has a feeling of slight dread. He will soon learn that his flirtatious habits will die hard, but he's linked himself with Juliette forever, even if they aren't married(this part of the storyline is for later on, not now). Juliette moves out of Capp Manor and finds her own place to start he life with Romeo. I then go from lot to lot, making sims older and more succesful. Soon I end up back at Tybalt's place, where his wife Melanie gives birth to their first two children, twin boys, whom they name Sebastian Consort Capp, and Horatio Barron Capp(at this time the baby boomers are either children or almost children). Tybalt has made it to MVP as an athelete, while Melanie is a desk clerk at a law office. Then at Kent's, Bianca becomes pregnant with their second child. She soon gives birth to a baby girl, Alexandria Marie Capp. My Capp storyline ends here for now. I will add more once i've accomplished more.


 * To make a long story short, I ressurected back everyone from the family tree, but on free will, Consort started a fire where everyone died.. The only person who survived was Juliette, She married Romeo and had twin daughters called Victoria and Elizabeth but Romeo & Juliette both died untimely by running with scissors leaving social services to the daughters fate.


 * On mine, I had just started and wasn't sure how to play. I wasn't paying attention, and so everyone died in a fire. Yeah, I stink. Poor Sims!


 * On mine, Juliette married Romeo, and thanks to Regan, Cordelia is alive again, and so is Caliban!


 * After graduating college, the adolescents of Veronaville are now Romeo & Juliette Monty, Tybalt & Viola (made in CAS) Capp, Hermia & Puck Summerdream, and Miranda & Mercutio Monty. But before they even went to college, Kent and Bianca got married. Then after some time there was Hal & Bottom Capp, Benedick & Desdemona Monty, Beatrice & Sebastian (made in CAS) Monty, and Ariel Capp is still single.


 * On the Capps (Goneril and all that) Albany got crushed by a satellite but Goneril had one last child with him. It was a daughter and thus I named her Juno. Then they hired a nanny and Goneril went in to Military. That's as far as I have got.

House Two: Albany and Gonreil are elders and are waiting for their children (Desdamona, Ariel, Cinderella, Lucentio) to grow up and leave the house so that they can marry them off and achieve LWs. House Three: Hal is living on his own, awaiting for Bottom to grow up and move in House Four: Regan and Cornwall are trying to complete LWs (Kent moved in with Bianca Monty) House Five: Hermia and Puck are together with Tybalt living with them in the two-in-one housing lots. --Basically im trying to complete all their LWs, it gives me something to do on the games.
 * House One: Juliet married Romeo (although he regrets this in her memories)and Miranda married Mercutio (although she regrets this in her memories) and they live together in the Capp Manor after Consort Capp DIED. {Why did maxis make these two couples fall in love, it seems it was a bad descision?)
