Lucy's Valley: Week Two - Cuevas
EXCELLENT. I wasn't sure if a gift from one playable to another in a different lot would "stick" as it were, and am very pleased to find Paddie's potion gift sitting nicely next to the eggplant.
ALL HAIL RUNNING WATER.
Seriously, guys. If you've ever lived somewhere that DOESN'T have running water, you'll realize how utterly blissful it is to step into a shower.
Now that community lots are unlocked, Robynne sells her home business and puts all those cash bonuses and treasure chests to work buying the first community lot of the challenge.
It leaves her more than a little broke. XD
Her store! It is pretty much an exact copy of allisas' Tasty's. A flipped layout, different decorating, and a few changes to make room for homegrown produce, but yeah.
Her first customer is kathsy's Peony.
Followed by Rain Benson. I'm starting to agree with javabean_dreams. These two have a secret thing for each other.
lilith_sims' Buzz Blue.
And Karina's twin brother Karl. (lilith_sims)
Yay!
Keeping up with sales and the cash register is too hard, so Buzz is coming to work for Robynne. His previous job is that of a GENERAL, which is impossible, but amuses me because his name is Buzz and well. Buzz Grunt? XD
Moving right along~
Owen (alleluia) is confused by the lack of non-colorful people in this town. Sry Owen. My game, my rules. And if that means my BACC is 80% aliens, that is my business. XD
Really, though, he just can't find the beans.
Evil witchling! Sorry, dear, but your services are not required. No one can get magic from you. Has to be inherited!
Creepy spectral cat is CREEPY.
Witchling: Is it apples that I'm supposed to enchant for a sleeping spell? Or capsicums?
DING DING DING GOLD BADGE!
Why is it that getting the sales badge is EASY, while cash register and restocking take FREAKING FOREVER?
After entirely too long at the shop, Robynne comes home to do some flower arranging. And we see the results of me hanging up her lot ownership thingie with the walls down.
And, on the next day, it is procreation time!
This is Zille Cuevas. The plantsim replacement I'm using is made from sixamsims' Pirate McSkittles, which means Zille is perfectly acceptable under pixel_trade rules. :D
And since I want the little darling to grow up with Taliesin and Andi, rather than doing a giant growth spurt all the way to adult, Robynne makes use of Paddie's handy gift. :3
Deplanted!Zille! I love the fact that he randomly got one of the old Enayla (?) leafy skins.
SO CUTE, GAH.
New house layout to accommodate a not-plant toddler.
Robynne: I'm a plant. Dealing with bodily excretions is beneath me.
Yes, but if you do this, you won't have to change any diapers!
Robynne: Really? In that case...Poop, my child, poop!
I realllyyyy want an apple now. But it is the middle of summer, so all the RL apples are icky. :<
Robynne: Bees, wat r u doin.
Robynne: Bees, STHAP.
Zille: *eez escape arteest*
...I don't know why I fell into lolcat/memespeak. I'll stop now. XD
For the curious, Zille will be returning to his planty roots when he becomes an adult. For now, though...
Child!Zille! Lookit his adoribibbble nose!
Oh my. I don't know why he got the badges he did, but I will not complain!
It is the weekend, so Zille accompanies Robynne to the shop. Where we find something exceedingly odd with the snow. I'm guessing I did something wrong in shrinking the lot to 2x1, but eh. There aren't any other problems, so....
Zap! No more snow!
boolpropaganda's Clark.
Zille amuses himself quite well while Robynne works.
We even brought an easel along. XD
Insert missing previous screenshot of the business reaching level 3. I can never decide if I actually want to include these, so eh.
A very overpaid and satisfied employee: done!
Karina brings her pregnant butt in to stock up on veggies.
Raina Bunny!
O_____o
But you've earned LOTS of money.
Since there is a family member who actually EATS now, Robynne is stocking up the fridge with leftovers.
And with a quick house extension, that is that!
The family taxes are $2,000, and they contributed an additional $6,000 for their Level 6 business, bringing the total town funds to $35,250.
