Lucy's Valley: Week Two - Montgomery
We begin the week in our community leader's house by seeing that he's far too interested in Alden's life for Alden's good. XD
So the next career objective. Becoming besties with Robynne.
Getting the LTR up 13 points before he works again? Should be doable!
Shiny sparkly food purchased from Robynne's shop. :D
I may like the glow right before the werewolf transformation a leetle too much. >_>
Oh yes. And with the addition of "guttering" and a solar panel, Darryl gets power and water WOOOOOO! AND PHONES. I may have gone in and added a phone to each lot as soon as they were unlocked. XD
Tuesday is Darryl's day off, and he makes good on trying to befriend Robynne.
Can I just say that I love how LTR grows slowly over time, regardless of interactions? THIS WILL BE SO MUCH EASIER NOW.
Shortly thereafter: WOOOO TOWNIES AND COMMUNITY LOTS. :D :D :D
Immediate saving and going off to make townies ensues. XD
AND our first townie is Owen Roth, a sim made as a giftie for me by alleluia, back in early 2012. He ended up a sim in Crystal Ridge right before I stopped playing it, but since no one but me had ever seen him, he transplanted over here to become a townie. :D
ISN'T HE HANDSOME.
Robynne might be one with flora...unfortunately for her, this does not transfer over into fauna. XD
Darryl continues the pattern in my game of secondary aspirations almost completely overcoming primary aspirations.
Um, Alden? He tried to call you. You yelled at him for waking you up in daylight. WHY ARE YOU AWAKE.
Another townie! This is Buzz Blue, from lilith_sims. I may have snagged the entire bunch from their post over at thebigtradeoff. BUNNY ALIEN SIMS OMG.
Buzz, though an alien, is a bit frightened of werewolves. Poor dearling. XD
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND KICKYBAG. I've never had a hood where kickybag was the game of choice. O_o
Haiiii Mr. Wolf. Your services are not required, though your glowing eyes are pretties.
...I am so hungry for pancakes right now. @_@
Another giftie sim! This is Tai Duchovny, who was made for me by She of Many Names, who has since left the community.
STOP WITH THE BEING OVERLY CLINGY. THIS is why I usually turn off relationship decay, but I'm trying to play this hood PROPERLY and GAH.
Fuzzy alien simmmmm. Oscar Fury, also from lilith_sims.
*\o/*
And THIS is Karina Beetle, also of lilith_sims origins, and she's PRETTIES.
Darryl agrees. :D
Darryl: What do you mean, kiss her? Kisses are ickyyyy.
Careful, Darryl, your werewolf-draining-of-nice-points is showing.
What is the point of this aspect of the game?
Darryl: CAN'T TALK, COMPUTERING.
I think I look like this when I'm trying to write. >_>
I love THIS stage of winter in sims. Thick layers of snow that make my computer slow? Not so much. But the beautiful snow dusting here? Vair purty.
Right! The Politics career is now unlocked for everyone, with the restriction of only ever having one mayor.
Darryl: Yes, Paddie, I'm sure a ski resort would be an excellent addition to Lucy's Valley. I'll take it up with my associates...yes, I'm aware that at this time I don't actually have associates.
MEANWHILE, TIME TO MAKE WITH THE KISSES.
Or, you know, booty call. *facepalm*
Ok, you two. I get it. You want to be together. Enough with this.
I GET IT.
Bianca Bunny, from the same collection as Katrina, Buzz, and Oscar.
On Saturday, Katrina moves in, and, between loose funds and her inventory, she brings almost $20k, which immediately gets earmarked for the town funds. She also has a fairly high-level job in the slacker career, which, as it isn't her LTW and the career is locked, is immediately quit.
She is a Fortune/Family sim with the LTW of topping the Business career, which IS possible, but only if Robynne works her butt off, maxes out her business, reaches the top of the career and unlocks it for Katrina, all before Katrina gets old. Possible, but it'll be a while.
Myron: YEAH, GOOD FOR BOSSMAN, GETTING A GIRL.
I spoil this moment with DAT ANKLE.
The living room furniture is pushed into the nursery, and a curtain is hung over the window, providing a backdrop for the first wedding of the neighborhood. :D
Katrina: It's bad luck...
Darryl: Haven't we moved past superstition?
Katrina: I'm an alien marrying a werewolf in the middle of nowhere, so I suppose...
Darryl: That's my darling.
And now, party time! Sorry, I just found that whole "getting ready" sequence SO PRETTY AND SWEET AND AWW. Anyway. Though Andi and Taliesin will be kids by the time their families hit Saturday, they're toddlers here. AND ADORABLE TODDLERS TOO.
Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery!
I promise to not be this picspammy in future weddings. XD
Knox and Lilly would like to remind people that they were the first couple to get cuddly.
OK, GUYS, ENOUGH WITH THE TOUCHY-FEELY. You're making the unpartnered sims feel bad.
Oh poor Katrina.
GUYS, PEOPLE OUTSIDE CAN SEE YOU. THIS IS A WINDOW.
And on that note, we end this overly pic-heavy update. XD
