Lucy's Valley: Week Three - Benson-Fennel
Before I say anything else, I want to point out that I'm a silly person and give a massive apology to alleliua. I've been typing their username as alleluia for like a million years and never noticed until the second person deleted and I had a heart attack thinking that alleliua had deleted. Yeah. A FOOL, I AM. And a sorry one, at that. *hug*
See? XD
With the burglary at Paddie and Myron's house, a slot opened in Law Enforcement. Knox now has a chance at his LTW career!
And since he's already BFF with Darryl, when Week 4 starts with the Montgomerys, Darryl can get promoted again. :D
He starts out by visiting Paddie's shop for some liquid luck. He'll need it as the only cop in town!
(yes, I may have been rereading the Harry Potter books for the first time in...a long time)
I jest, I jest. He was buying flowers to decorate his and Lilly's room. :3
And getting a re-nu-you portachug. Or however it is spelled. So that he and Lilly have the three bolts that they already act like they have. XD
(the back grey building behind Knox is the Town Hall/museum/wedding place. Which I will eventually manage to photograph.)
Hey, Nydia!
And Spinifex manages to bury his skipping rope in the ground. Not exactly sure how.
Warm summer afternoon, cousins living nearby, and a water balloon fight. AWESOMENESS.
And with the kids tucked up in bed, stories read...parentfuntime!
I do love this little family. They act like a bunch of Family sims, but without the annoying ZOMGBABIESNAOW wants. :3
First night of patrolling!
Online studies. ;)
Nydia called Poinsettia, and her story is clearly FASCINATING.
Knox: I have the best wifey. :D
Randomly generated townie for the purpose of stars at Robynne's business!
Myron and Paddie randomly walked by from different directions, saw each other, swooned, and then did this. Their love infects everything even when they aren't controllable. XD
Lilly's on birth control, and I'M WATCHING YOU, KNOX. Yes, your brother has two beautiful alien daughters, but YOU HAVE ENOUGH CHILDREN.
I love the layout of this house, but the outside is dull. I feel like smothering it in ivy. Or something.
Spinifex and Poinsettia: PUPPY NOW.
I decided that if someone in the family works for law enforcement, they can adopt a puppy or kitten. Knox "found" the little one on his patrols. :D
Introducing Buster! Or, rather, the back of Buster! He's all black currently, and is going to grow into a large dog.
SO LITTLE.
And that's a one-tile pet bed to boot. I think.
Hai, Julian! :D :D :D
Poinsettia: PUPPY 8D
Yay? They don't really need the money, so maybe they'll donate it to a pirate exhibit.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
And no, that isn't just a repeat of the same screenshot.
See? Two.
ANDI.
Since both Lilly and Knox had to work, and I didn't want to do nannies, I downloaded the watch kids mod, and invited Andi over to babysit. It makes perfect sense for the oldest cousin to do the 'sitting. :D
Actually, Taliesin might be a day or two older, but Andi's certainly more responsible.
Random cat!
Because random cats are win.
And after a day of fun and games, it is BIRTHDAY TIME, YES.
(I'm really looking forward to seeing if they grow further into their features, or things go wonky. I think it's even odds at this point. Well. Unless you saw on tumblr how Poinsettia turns out.)
Spinifex! He's Knowledge/Popularity sim who likes handy zombies. Hell. Spinifex, could you HAVE a less helpful set of turn-ons?
HAH, mad scientist. Totally called it. Even if I never said anything. >___>
And Poinsettia! She's Pleasure/Family, and likes artistic swimmers. XD
Neither twin thinks cologne is attractive, which is fine, since there isn't anywhere in Lucy's Valley to purchase said substance.
Badly highlighted rule bits for the twins' respective career desires. In short form: Spinifex needs to max logic before hitting adult, and then earn a gold robotics badge. Poinsettia needs to run a club. Or there has to be one. I'll probably make her run it.
While I liked her curves, Lilly decided she wanted to be a bit more svelte.
The treasure-finding gene: was clearly not passed on down to Spinifex. Have fun with your rock, hon.
House layout, complete with mid-changing-spin Knox, because these things interest me in other people's games, so I figured someone must share my fascination with floorplans.
Outside!
The family taxes are $2,000, bringing the total town funds to $64,400.
