Mercier Legacy 1.1
Electra's family was always into the farming deal. They spent their days working hard and asked for their children to do the same. So when she turned 18, her parents surprised her with your own plot of land to continue on tradition. And having always been one to want to impress the folks, she begin creating her own small garden, dedicating her time to that rather then dealing with a dreadful 9-to-5 suit and tie job.
Oh yes, this is a Difference in the Family Tree challenge.
Electra isn't going to get very far with her garden unless she goes to town to purchase some fruit and vegetables.
This also has the added benefit of being able to MEET PEOPLE! These three lovely sims are Althea, Ariadne and Asher Bumble-Storms by kittenmittons.
Ariadne manages to catch Electra's eye and can you blame her at all? What a pretty dress!
Ariadne: Oh Sim Goddess, you do flatter me so!
Unfortunately for me Electra, Ariadne was already partnered up with one of my in-game-born sims and neither Althea or Asher would give Electra the time of day.
Electra can't get a job. She has to survive on the income gained from her garden, so the best way to spend her last wad of simoleons is to get her to a gardening class stat.
Electra: Why oh why must I own the Bargain John and WHY IS IT NEXT TO MY BED!
Well, Electra, the answer to that is quite simple. You have about §3 to your name. You also live in a garage. When you find someone to donate to your house fund, ie a husband or wife with some cash, then you can build a separate bathroom.
I never realized the location of a toilet could cause so much anguish for a little pixel creation living inside of my laptop.
But there you go.
As Electra is Eco-Friendly, I had to spend the last of her money on a bike as everytime she went to town she would get a bad moodlet for doing something evil to small kittens to the earth.
Fishing and gardening, fishing and gardening. That's all we ever seem to do, but Electra is zooming up her skill levels every day.
Electra: Hello? Is this Riverview Village telephone dating?
Electra: I need a man that can come and plow me... I mean, plow my garden.
There was no luck with the telephone dating service so Electra caught a goldfish named Jorje to keep her company.
Success! Turns out Electra's repairman, Laurence had a bit of a thing for her and came knocking on the door one afternoon.
*Insert witty pick-up line here*
Laurence: I think I'd like you to help me spread my seeds...
Electra: OMG Riverview Dating? I found my plow man!
Electra's unplowed garden is still going quite well.
As a non-gardener myself, I have it on good authority that it is totally acceptable to be this excited when commanded to "tend garden".
Laurence comes to visit every afternoon when Electra has finished her gardening & cleaning.
Best proposal face ever, right??
I always wanted to propose to my husband in my underpants in a garage, turned home. But nooooo, it had to be all romantic at the beach with champagne and dolphin spottings and such.
I'm not breaking the rules and having them sex it up before they get married. Laurence is sleeping over and happens to have a pair of tighty-whiteys with him for just such an occasion.
The girls (including one that only ever met Electra once and that was in passing) help Electra get ready for her wedding day.
Yo Laurence! You're not supposed to see the Bride until she walks down the aisle!
Electra invited six people to the wedding. The only one that stayed for the actual ceremony itself was Ariadne.
Laurence: Now we can finally get down to business!
