Yay, back to Crystal Peaks! Last time all hell broke loose as Grace got a bad roll in the ROS. Is everyone friends yet? Who knows. Quite an easy ROS this round, providing everyone stops wanting to kill each other.
At the time of loading up my game I'd deleted a mega ton of CC, so Flora needed a makeover. She suits the short hair better!
The teens finally realised that summer is warm (unless you live in Britain) so they went outside to chill.
Except Grace who had an appointment to go shout at her little sister.
When I look back at old posts of these two, ACR had such a big hand in their relationship and I'm so glad.
Hilda's garden has come in nicely!
The weather is too nice to sit at home while the kids are in school so Alice and Hilda go on a date to the pool.
Look how much fun they're having, they're so adorable!
A quick something-something before heading to the Town Hall.
After Kirstie and Beckett's wedding Alice decided to make the wedding arch permanent.
She also decided to sell magazines. Hilda always wanted to work in sales, she just pictured it with animals instead.
Alice why?
Nobody is talking to Grace so she invited over her BFF Rowan to hang out for a while.
Patrick has a ton of homework (which Flora is doing for him) so of course he's playing with the cat.
I'm thinking about curing Alice since this gets on my nerves.
Suzie spent a little too long in the sun, looks painful.
Amanda meanwhile has a lovely tan. Just some bad luck for Suzie.
I was looking back at old pictures and I realised how much I missed Hilda's blue hair so she got it back! It's a lot toned down than it used to be of course but I still like it.
Normally everyone is fighting to get on this thing, Amanda saw her chance and took it.
I never realised just how alike these two look - even with different "fathers" they both have Alice all over them.
To get rid of some wants Suzie got another womrat.
I don't even know what I named them.
Attention! Grace is pleading for forgiveness. This is important!
They made up! Hilda is so happy to see her girls being friends.
Fruit trees!
I wanted to keep things interesting so Alice and Hilda are going to spend some time working on their OTHs. Alice's is dancing and she looks thrilled.
Hilda's is science and she couldn't look more annoyed if she tried.
At least the kidlings are happy.
Patrick started baking too, maybe he and Flora can go into business together?
Now everyone is chilled out Grace can look for some love.
I am so happy that she came down! I've had my eye on the cute papergirl for a while now. I think her name is Amy?
They took their date to the park to keep out of the way of everyone else, and I stumbled on Ricky Fisher getting mugged by the UC. Sorry pal.
They had a nice chilled, fun game of basketball.
Are you guys seeing this? Are you seeing how cute this is?
It's nice to see her happy for a change.
The next stop on their date was a relaxing meal at Spencer Family Diner but Amy called it a night and went home.
At home Hilda and Alice spent some time with their youngest.
Suzie spent some time with Frankie. Amanda's probably on the trampoline or something idk.
I can't believe these two babies are gonna be adults soon.
Did I take this picture to show off the recolours I made of that underwear? Probably. Yes.
Hilda this is why we can't have nice things.
Gee, I wonder where we can use those.
Patrick and Flora have been making so many muffins recently - they put these two on the twins' desks which is so cute. A pre-homework treat.
One of the teen townies, Lulu, came home with Grace from school!
She took a nap, then came downstairs to give her a peck. Grace you're tearing me apart - look how cute the papergirl is!
She even left you flowers! Have some respect!
I don't follow Frazzle around much, I probably should.
I gave Alice a makeover and I didn't take a picture? Why would I do this?
Anyway here they all are, having a meal together for the ROS and using their coupons too.
Frazzle made the most of being home alone, and she had a birthday too!
Back home these two spent some time together.
Well that lasted all of half an update.
Woah game, calm down a little will ya.
Suzie's stood in the background singing "why can't we be friends" over and over.
Okay you need to stop. S T O P.
It's the big day! Technically I could wait one more day but I like to keep things interesting. On a sidenote, how creepy are those balloons?
I threw a party to celebrate the triple birthday, it seems to be going okay.
Now for the main event. Flora goes first!
She's basically a teenage version of Alice, not that I'm complaining.
Name: Flora Knight-Major
Role in Crystal Peaks: Baker
Aspiration: Family
Turn Ons: Red hair and glasses
Turn Offs: Werewolves
Next is Patrick's turn.
As to be expected, he looks a lot like his half-brother James Fisher-Reiner.
Name: Patrick Knight-Major
Role in Crystal Peaks: Baker/Sales
Aspiration: Fortune
Turn Ons: Unemployed and Brown Hair
Turn Offs: Makeup
And finally the mayor's turn. She was the first sim to settle in Crystal Peaks and now she's all grown up!
Now you can see why I wanted to get all the birthdays done as it's the end of the round! Look at that, no more kids. Everyone is a teenager and above so the real drama can begin. Alice became an elder and expanded her business. Hilda got a makeover. Suzie kept herself to herself. Grace made amends, then quickly decided she'd rather not. Amanda also kept herself to herself. Flora became a teenager and Patrick decided to also go into the world of baking with his sister. I really can't wait for these kids to grow up and move out because this family is waaaaay too big.
