Blitzing through another update while I'm binging sims like crazy! This update takes us to the residences in Kingsbury, where homes are known for their structures where the bottom front floor is a home business.
Finneon & the Plant Shop
Recap: Finneon Austen moves into the business district to start his home business. His sister Chikorita joins him in his potted plant business as he slowly builds his sky blue house. Soon after he meets his future wife Amanda, and in the last update she was about to have a baby.
The baby was Jonquil Austen, and before you know it it's already his birthday.
Aunt Chikorita is largely the caretaker while his brother and sister-in-law are busy with the business.
They also need a break to do other business...
Customers for some reason are unhappy about the cleanliness of the house that THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO. Bugger off!
They don't have enough money to shoulder that burden...
Annnnnnd everything is wiped. :/
Pretty uneventful house, Jonquil soon to grow up.
Keeps to himself, just cleaning the house so nobody complains anymore...
Meawhile business is booming. Also a super nice view!
Busy restocking to keep up with demand.
How their house looks like right now. The blue door is the entrance to the shop.
Shots of their open plan kitchen/dining. Finneon focused really hard on curating some art pieces, that hopefully appreciate in value!
Jonquil keeps to himself.
Chikorita free of baysitting duties goes out on fun dates.
Kinda blitzed through this household as not too much was happening - Jonquil is a teen! He rolls Pleasure to make up for the boring childhood.
The Produce Store (The Austens/Hellers)
Recap: Milotic and Zekrom Heller move back to Milotic's home after college, which houses a home business selling mouthwatering produce + other knicknacks. Her father Arkansas Austen is the owner. Two kids are also present in this household; Onyx, their first child, and Orange, who is the alien spawn of Zekrom's galactic adventures.
Despite not her biological child,Milotic takes great interest in Orange's development.
Zekrom looking pretty fine in his entertainment oufit!
Glowing boi, sleeping after a hard day learning.
Oynx, unable to sleep decided to research his brother's other hometown.
After all that hard work, time for a midnight snack.
Tight hugs for the little sweet boy!!
Except Orange is a bit of a rebel, making a huge mess of the bathroom.
But nothing magic can't fix!
Strong dedication to their education - I hope these kids will go far.
Time for Orange to grow up!
He has very huge eyes...
He's stress testing the bed that's newly bought for him.
Onyx and Orange share a midnight snack - although Oynx doesn't seem to happy getting food thrown at him!
A bit of fun dancing since they made it to private school!
Arkansas, founder of this house and home business, is extremely at ease talking to plants.
His son in law Zekrom meanwhile is failing the most basic gardening tasks.
Arkansas: Come with meeeee and you'll beeeee...in a world of garden adventures
Seems to have worked, Zekrom's got a silver badge!
Time for some nefarious plans...
...to join the garden club with these killer awesome plants!
WELL looks like the garden is top notch. WELL done.
Onyx: Not allowed!
Orange: D:
He relented, so there's a cute photobooth photo!
Birthday for Onyx! He celebrates with his mom, grandpa and Orange.
And a quick makeover. Onyx rolls family.
Father-daughter witchy evening jam. The contrasting magical effects looked really nice.
6am cuddles in a very leafy room
(I really liked this shot!)
The produce shop opens for the day - quite busy! Yveltal (Zekrom's brother) comes over for a visit.
Onyx now all grown up is expected to support the family business.
Look how beautiful (and mouthwatering) the produce is.
Time for Orange to grow up.
Big boy! Orange rolls fortune.
The Flower Shop (Austens/Elizondos)
Recap: The Elizondos (Cinccino & Sylveon, with their kids Quina, Aliza and Zinn) move back to Sylveon's parents place at the flower shop after a brief stint in downtown.
The kids! Left to right, Quina, Zinn and Alizarin. Right where we left off last time, they are about to step foot into their new home.
After picking rooms they want, the kids have a bit of fun playing some games in the corridors.
Cinccino, like a good son-in-law goes straight into learning the flower trade.
Alizarin having a chess session with grandma Meredith.
Zinnwaldite is getting used to all the s p a c e - the bathtub is as big as a ship!
Utah and Meredith need some alone time too, especially now that the number of household sims have grown over threefold.
The weekend is here - time for some bed jumping! Didn't know two sims can be jumping together at the same time.
Meanwhile Sylveon is keen to open the flower shop for business.
Sylveon continues the experience she gained as a teen, in selling,
restocking,
And her poor hubby is the designated cashier.
The kids all congregate in the upstairs living room, skilling up and being accomplished in general.
Since they are so accomplished, the adults decide to get them into private school. Serving the best ingredients can't hurt!
And they are in! Also you can see their full names.
Sunday - more bed jumping!
Look how beautiful/convoluted this snapdragon combo is...it's the centerpiece of the shop and unleashes a huge motive boot simultaneously.
To grandson who doesn't live with her (Verdigris who is grown up to a child here):
Meredith: If you love your grandma YOU MUST BUY EVERYTHING!
To her live-in grandson:
Meredith: Precious grandchild may you have sweetest dreams
I almost forgot Lissa lives with them! Aliza gives her a head pat.
Spends some time with her master while he studies.
Sunflora is here for a visit! Her brother in law greets her first.
And then her older sister.
Like kids - some things never change
Aunty Staravia is visiting too!
Monday morning and business is already booming - Utah is the store manager today.
I didn't know Lissa is gone :(
Poor Verdigris coerced to buy yet more items to support the main family business.
Ater the homework party, time to have a toy party!
Wow it's already time to grow up...
And like how we started this update, here's the triplets, now teenagers. Front to back: Quina, who rolled Romance; Zinn rolled Knowledge, and Aliza with Pleasure. A wide mix!
The Pink Bakery (Heller's)
Recap: Rhydon Heller, his wife Brittany, his sister Mudkip and his daughter Magnolia packed their bags out of downtown and back into business district suburbia. They return to the family home, where the jetsetter grandparents Oregon and Louisiana Heller (and resident Bigfoot Alon) live.
Magnolia matches with grandpa Oregon, from head to toe! She promises that she will be a smart student.
Not quite there yet!
One of the spare rooms is set up and decorated for her.
She's close to Alon the Bigfoot's room. Magnolia decides to greet him with a prank.
Alon returns the favour with a Bigfoot Hug™
The home bakery is Open for Business!
Rhydon joins in to help keep up with orders.
Lots of customers interested in the baked goods.
Magnolia decides the best place to do her homework is right in front of the entrance.
Drinks to celebrate a successful day.
It's Alon's birthday! His work outfit is incredibly cute.
More celebrations!
An elderly bigfoot = a silver bigfoot!
Mudkip needs to continue her quest to woohoo 20 different sims - I tihnk at this point she's up to around 8? I lost count...apparently she's already woohooed with Goopy before, just need to collect that sweet evidence.
I see that somebody wants to join the list...meanwhile the servo in the background do not comprehend why human sims do this.
Chikorita swoops in our of nowhere to claim Mudkip's leftovers - a revenge from college days when it was Mudkip poaching other guys!
Mudkip's not too phased, already focused on the next target.
Success! A woohoo occured before the photo was taken.
Uh oh somebody is pissed..but Mudkip escapes quickly.
NEXT!
Magnolia's breezy outfit makes it look like she should be on holiday, so that's where the family will go!
Brittany (Magnolia's mom) hasn't been seen much all this update, but I assure you she's been building immense strengh as a cook.
In Twikki Island, you don't play the hammock, the hammock plays you.
This is the most important purpose of the holiday - getting yet another voodoo doll (this house has multiple).
Back to holiday mode - singing songs with the sea captain!
Wow, I totally forgot the ghost of Penny is still hovering around...apparently I never got rid of her.
Wheeeee! More fun than the hammock!
I learnt you can put the palm tree souvenir on the bar and the sims will still put drinks around it. It looks amazing!
Magnolia's birthday is around the corner...
And she grows up to be a Popularity sim. Whereas her aunt wants 20 woohoos, she wants 20 best friends.
