The Oceanside Project: Goodacre Part 2
"The Slaughterhouse Rules"
Part 2
Friday, Day 12
"Beef, Births, Birthdays, and Breakdowns"
Don't fuss Faith, it won't be long now. Today is Transition Day!
With the morning rain comes lighting and fire. The sleeping animals weren't fazed at all. It washed out on it's own.
As Becca is washing the dishes...
Her contractions start!
Another Girl!
Holly Goodacre has her dad's aqua eyes and Becca's tan skin and brown hair. She is immediately shoved into a pink ensemble. Becca would have it no other way!
She rolls this shit immediately after giving birth to Holly just like she's done with each of her girls.
Fine, you know what? I'm going to lock these and MAKE you guys have 10 kids, you jerks!
Eve's stuff is moved to the third bedroom -- awaiting Eve's transition to Child next year -- so Holly can move into the nursery with Faith.
While Owen is still asleep, Becca goes to the barnyard to help with replenishing food. She also has an ulterior motive...
Bessie has gotten on in years. Her milk is dry and she's never produced a calf. Time for her to stop taking up space. And besides, we need food for the party.
Becca: Why, oh why Watcher did you take this cow so soon?
J/K Becca doesn't give a damn about that cow.
See!
Owen: *startled awake* Did something happen to Bessie? I no longer feel her presence!
It's birthday party time!
Sadie Biltmore wasn't invited but since she happened to be passing by Becca invited her in.
But maybe she shouldn't have.
Sadie: You want to go to the party and play with all of the other babies, Flour Sack Baby? Who's a good Flour Sack Baby? YOU ARE, FLOUR SACK BABY!!!!
Moving on...
Antonio Lambswool and Aria Mason-Troubadour share the first huggle of the day.
Cyan Troubadour-Bossanova and Aiden Biltmore check out the fishies.
Antonio must give good hugs! Here he is with Gavin Biltmore.
Cake time!
As she tosses Faith up in the air, Becca is reminded that she only has one little baby now. She's got to remedy that pronto!
Another grass skirt toddler!
Faith turns to Kendrick Troubadour and begs for attention. He's a little too old for you, Missy!
Kendrick goes against all of his child-hating inclinations and holds little Faith. Dawwwwww!
DAMN-IT!!
Sadie: Flour, do you want to meet a real-live sheep? Meet Mr. Sheep. Mr. Sheep, this is Flour. I know, he's kind of shy. *giggles*
You know three of your kids are on the property right now Sadie Biltmore. GO HOLD THEM OR SOMETHING!
Sadie: And there's chickens too. Do you want to see the chickens Flour? *cough* They'll be so happy to see you! *cough* There's so much flour! *cough*
We need a therapist in this hood, stat!
Owen wakes up in time to give Faith her make-over.
Becca: You know, "The Word of The Watcher" says that it is perfectly fine for women to wear make-up. In fact The Watcher wants us to always put our best face forward and look pretty and presentable at all times! The Watcher doesn't want us to wear too much make-up, though. You know, like that Vivian Landgraab. I'll have to talk to her about what "The Word of the Watcher" says!
Sadie: This. bitch. right. here....
Here she is all cleaned up and dressed! Faith is an 8-8-7-2-9 Pisces with high interests in entertainment, Sci-Fi, and the paranormal (presumably because she was dead for a while). She shares the religious trait with her Mom and the good sense of humor trait with her Dad. She also inherited her Mom's freckles and wavy hair.
Owen starts potty training Faith immediately. He's already sick of dirty diapers.
The other toddlers seem to clamor around the fish tank. I hope they know that they can't eat the fishies!
The other party guests are contaminating the water...
petting and riding the animals...
or playing with their bags of flour.
Sadie: Heeeere's the chickies, Flour. Aren't they cute? Can you say, "Bok-bok-bok-BOK!" Good boy, Flour! Good boy.
I honestly can't show you all of the different times the toddlers hugged Antonio. That's all they did!
Faith meets a new friend ^.^
Even though the party is still going on the tomatoes won't harvest themselves. Owen still has a lot of chores to do.
And Becca would rather read the paper than tend to her guests.
The water tank is now full of dirty sims!
Don't trample the baby Brodie Mason!
Faith and Aiden share the freckle gene!
After the party both Faith and Becca take a nap.
Owen works into the night.
And Becca takes care of the girls.
KENT! What the hell are you still doing here?
Kent: *shrugs* I never got a piece of cake.
After the chores are done for the day Owen and Becca sneak in some alone time.
*Chimes*
I'm going to go ahead and predict ANOTHER GIRL!
Saturday, Day 13
"The Inspection"
Faith rocks out early in the morning.
Owen wakes up and takes care of Holly.
And Becca makes breakfast.
Then the pair clean up the best they can.
Because the Garden Club is coming!
Hey, you're not Rocky! This is Bruce Jelleff who apparently must be taking Rocky's place while he gets his hair did. That luscious mane doesn't get that way by itself!
Here we go!
Bruce calls his minions over to start the inspection. If the Garden Club likes what they see Owen will get that discount on seeds and fertilizer he wants!
Two ladies in identical outfits show up to help inspect the garden. First is Tiara Hough, named after a crown because she thinks she's a ~princess~.
Next is Heaven Gallo. I swear these are the names that the game gave me. *tee hee*
Owen tries to pull weeds at the last minute before the GC starts the inspection.
Brodie: You mean this Garden Club shit is real? I thought Rocky was just bullshitting me this whole time!
The first rule of Garden Club is you do not talk about Garden Club!
The GC frantically begin their inspection of the plants taking meticulous notes.
Woot!
They move around to every plant in the yard.
Vivian: Oh HI!!! You must be one of those secret Garden Club members! I can't wait to join your club, I hear it's fabulous!
Vivian has no idea what Garden Club is. She just wants to be a member of every club in Oceanside.
Eep!
Wait, you're judging the plants in the pond too? Shesh!
After about a million hours and 50+ more pop-ups about the health of the plants and trees, Owen is accepted into the Garden Club!
Owen packs the remaining produce...
and heads out to Goodacre's!
Owen added more refrigeration units to place his produce in. The canned items are homemade by Becca!
The non-perishables are now on the other side of the refrigerators.
First customer of the day is Heaven!
Then Bruce and Rocky Kotsomiti shop the produce section.
Rocky: Bruce has such great hair!
I know, right!
Owen uses that country charm on the Garden Club.
Then Tiara shows up!
Today is Owen's lucky day!
Owen is really good with customers. Hardly anyone fusses at him for trying to sell to them.
Wow, they're buying a lot! So the hoity toity Garden Club must live in the luxury cave on the other side of the island. They have all of the money!
Closing time.
Owen just has to ring up the ladies and he can go home.
Good job Owen!
Even the juicers are gone!
After some quick restocking...
Owen heads home.
Meanwhile... back at home...
Holly's screeches wake up Faith.
Who promptly gets up and crawls to the other bedroom to sleep in peace. I feel a genius in the making in this one.
Becca is reacquainting herself with the powder room toilet.
Eve finds Faith's birthday present and spins and laughs for days.
Then it was time for Benny the Bull to meet his Watcher.
*This is when I finally noticed that the barn doors were all messed up and I fixed the arch. They've been messed up for two updates! SMH*
Becca definitely prefers the beef to the pork.
Eve prefers bear meat.
The Goodacres did not come to the decision to get rid of the horses lightly. Even though their guests got a kick out of riding them, Owen and Becca wanted the farm to remain livestock based -- not a ranch. Since you can't eat a horse they had to be set free.
With the horses gone a new cow and bull were added. Hopefully they will have calves. The chicken troughs were moved outside in the horses old eating spot in the hopes that the chicks would actually leave the barn once in a while.
As night falls Becca takes her frustrations out on the chicken farmer again.
Vivian: Oh HI NEIGHBOR!!!! I heard you guys got into the Garden Club! I can't wait for my rotation so I can join too. It's going to be so AWESOME!
She does know that the only benefit is a discount on seeds and fertilizer, right? Like Vivian Landgraab would ever garden!
Becca heads upstairs and continues to read "The Word of The Watcher."
YAAAASSSSS!
Becca is finally a priest!
Becca: *ahem* You can call me Sister Becca.
Yes Ma'am!
Sister Becca cleans the toxic toilet.
Sister Becca changes dirty diapers.
Sister Becca empties the potty chair.
Becca: OK! You do NOT have to call me Sister Becca!
Thanks :P
Owen returns home...
and is ready for steak tartare.
Goodnight from Goodacre's Farm!
Notes: Now before you go saying "OMG how could you kill all of the animals!!!! I'm calling SimPETA!!!!" I'm sorry, but there were too many of them. And I only killed them for food. And they were already 1 sim year old (16 days in my timeline) so they wouldn't reproduce anymore. Also each animal is an NPC which adds to the amount of sims on the lot. So when the Goodacres try to throw a party they can only invite 3 sims because there are 17 animal NPCs on their lot! I mostly blame the chickens.
Becca did not go to Our Gray Lady of Plumbobs Peteran Church because she technically did not become a priest until the last day of the update so technically she wasn't supposed to do sermons and stuff.
