ROCKMORE

After several restarts, saving, and lowering of settings --- I was able to get the cosignment store to make some space for the open "grocery store" (this is just Ani's merchant mod selling ration boxes -- I feel like it's a neat way to grab useable groceries for Olomaya's todder foods/snacks, as well as seeds for planting and plants for making tea!) - This way I can just buy ration boxers instead of suffering through the Misc decor tab to find them when I want them. There's so much stuff in there, and it's pretty unstable. I need to think of stuff to get rid of. :')

The Burb Household

Spring, Year 1 - Recap

As spring blossomed in Pleasantview, the Burb household was riding the tides of ordinary life, punctuated by moments of pure exhilaration and the subtleties of everyday drama. With his heart forever amidst nature, John stole moments of serenity with Tucker, their loyal dog, while juggling the reality of burgeoning bills and the weight of educational choices for the kids. Jen, in her newfound role as a Competent Clerk, discovered a balance between professional aspirations and the tender demands of motherhood, all while hinting at a potential new beginning stirring within her. Lucy, a whirlwind of teenage zeal, faced the rites of passage into adolescence with excitement and trepidation, her days a rollercoaster ride between the thrills of first crushes and the blush of puberty's awkward bloom. Meanwhile, Kody, the little daredevil, embraced his sports hobby with gusto, his birthday celebration at the bowling alley a strike of joy, epitomizing the lively spirit of a Sagittarius. The season was a patchwork quilt of karaoke nights, where John's unabashed performances left Jen swooning with renewed affection, and family picnics that turned simple meals into treasured memories. Through it all, the Burbs remained a tight-knit clan, their love an anchor amid life's capricious waves. As leaves turned green and the days grew warmer, whispers of a new life, a subtle rounding of Jen's belly, and shared glances full of meaning hinted at a deepening of the family narrative. The season's end found the Burbs poised on the cusp of change, their story a captivating blend of the hilariously mundane and the quietly profound, with the sweet suspense of expectancy hanging in the air like the promise of summer's first golden sunrise.

We’re now on to the Ramirez Household with Checo, Lisa, Tessa, and little Gloria! Get to know more about them here: [get to know the neighbors] And don't forget to check out their previous recaps for a quick reminder of what's to come!

В связи с тем, что теперь Мико и Акира делят одну спальню на двоих, бывшая комната девушек целиком и полностью перешла во владение Дарлинг. По этому поводу мы с Дарлинг затеяли небольшую перестановку мебели, которая по итогу вылилась в полноценный ремонт.

this is my happy place ❤️‍🩹

Someone new’s moved in to Willow Creek. The label on their mailbox reads ‘Waffles’.

@simmer-rhi i set up my rotational save today! Hopefully I’ll enjoy this playstyle 🙈 i probably won’t share much of this cause i just really wanted to try out playing rotationally but i couldn’t resist doing a dramatic opening for it 😂

Also credit for Rob Waffles goes to musthavemods.com and their amazing mini challenge Bob Pancakes vs Rob Waffles 💕

I regret to inform everyone I'm watching Wakfu again and that, now in 2024, I still haven't grasped how to draw hats.

akira and mariela on a dinner date (ooooooo!)

What a strange, strange world we live in...

But somehow it all makes perfect sense!

Surely Tyler knows better than anyone what Cherry is going through right now! It was really complicated navigating the earliest days of his relationship with Octavia, figuring out where they could fit into each other's lives around her responsibilities as a new mom, figuring out what his relationship to Lydia was — with it shifting and changing as things got more and more serious.

I'm exactly who they should be talking to about this stuff — but I probably wouldn't have felt comfortable putting it all out there with someone else at that point either...

(To be clear, Tyler's galaxy brain moment connecting Cherry's sudden reticence to Mya's inaccurately jumped-to conclusion about Alicia being a parent is woefully inaccurate. But come on, it's year 3. You know what this guy's like. 😁)

ROCKMORE

Anoton's been commissioned for a sculpture of the city Mayor (Marie) they discuss the funding over tea, and Anton catches up with Pierre who's a good friend. (I'm going to have the Le Pen's send him over a cheque will Anton mails the sculpture.)

He doesn't get along well with their daughter though...

I also have Jamie's cat and I stole Tobias's dog because Cashew is the best girl

Meet the Lothario-Goths of Newcrest

Cassandra Lothario-Goth

Traits - Loner, Music Lover, Gloomy

Aspiration - Big Happy Family

Still haunted by the disappearance of her mother as a teen, Cassandra sought out solace in the form of Don Lothario. The charming, charismatic casanova of Newcrest swept her off her feet, providing the perfect distraction from the absence of her mother. She fell head over heels for him, and was delighted when he proposed to her on their anniversary and then married a short whole after. However, she can't help but wonder what he's getting up to when he disappears for hours on end and comes back smelling of various perfumes...

Don Lothario-Goth

Traits - Non-committal, Romantic, Active

Aspiration - Serial Romantic

Don Lothario hadn't planned any of this. Not Cassandra, not marriage, not the big fancy house, and certainly not a family. However, when he met Cassandra and realised that he had a chance to get a piece of the Goth fortune he couldn't turn it down. Money, woohoo, lavish home and life of luxury, who could say no? Not Don, that's for sure. However, now feelings have entered the mix and he's realising that bleeding Cassandra dry and taking the money is going to be a lot harder than he anticipated. Well, at least he has his various affair partners to keep his mind off the guilt.

Will Cassandra get the family she's always wanted and the man she dreams of? Will she ever discover Don's infidelity and money-fixated motivations? And what did happen to her mother, Bella Goth?

Lothario-Goth rotation 1: START!

From there, Isla heads up to the science lab for class... but as she waits with her phone in hand, none of her friends show up. Eventually class begins and she's forced to put her phone away, but at least her lab partner seems friendly enough!

The Burb Household

Spring , Year 1

As night descended on the Burb household, Kody, our pint-sized Houdini, turned bedtime into an escape room challenge. His little legs were primed for a nightly adventure, the "Wanderer" in him never quite acquiescing to the land of nod. With stealth worthy of a cat burglar, he navigated the moonlit maze of hallways, his destination unknown, his mission a mystery. Entrenched in the land of dreams where homework never existed, Lucy found her slumber interrupted by a stowaway toddler and his canine accomplice. The stench of adventure—or just Kody?—hung in the air, sparking Lucy's nocturnal transformation into vanquishing the disgusting smell. With a sigh that spoke volumes of sisterly duty, she ushered Kody into a bubbly baptism, turning the bathroom into an impromptu spa. As soap suds rose, so did her spirits, knowing this was just one bubble in the ongoing froth of family life.

Lucy and Kody are up to their usual after-hours antics! What's your favorite memory with your siblings or close friends that happened waaaaay past bedtime?
