As soon as she reached out and pet the cat, she was slammed with instant recognition.
"Rory!" she exclaimed, scooping the cat into her arms.
She knew at once that she knew this cat as she held him in her arms. She couldn't pinpoint any specific memories, but she knew that they shared a deep bond.
Perhaps even a magical bond...
Even with a new furry friend in her life and the hope that her memories would begin to gradually return, there was still much aspiration progress to make.
A few challenge sim spottings - Amelia and Elfie befriended Yamachan.
Then Elfie stole Flora's sandwich.
Pleasant dreams you two
But as Flora slept, Rory slipped away, attending to business of his own.
"Thank you for checking in on her, Rory."
"I've been worried since she's been dream-walking lately, and you know we aren't the only ones who have that ability..."
"I know you'll help keep her safe."
--
So I added Rory to my game as a stray and then put the "cat hangout" trait on Flora's lot and was pleasantly surprised that Rory showed up almost right away. She had the option to adopt him almost immediately, which is when that animation with the "magic" happened, and it was just so perfect. Rory was definitely her familiar in her past life.
Flora had another noteworthy feline visitor while her lot still had the trait.
And one more note, if you're confused why Morgyn is appearing as both a child and an adult in my game, rest assured I (think) I have a plan
@Karababy52 , i took weather effects off for sims during that swim. 1 hour for aspiration
@permanentrose , hehe, yes I have all, even from first year in this save,its a bit crowded, i will most likely cut ome of them. I'll see about that.
@SoulGal7 , added her, but as others are on vacation at SE world now, she shows up better later.
@LegacySims2017 , yes it was Dylan indeed. thats good for Dante he can use all goodies of the penthouse, computers for Babs still limited for libraries
@DoloresGrey , hehe, yes, see babs needs to look good, but maybe she needs a shower
@Belalucina , wow, sean would say June has ultimate grand mansion by now
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
On the top of the hill Teddy Bear and Kaori exchanged promise rings.
day 12
NOTE , @Karababy52 I hope its okay i cheated the get a selfie with mascot, as done, after this. I started this save with no Randoms, and im not sure is it that, or the very bad weather there is all days, but mascot has not showed up like it used to do. If it do show up, Babs will of course take the selfie.
No idea why she was so happy, all te sudden clapping hands, but if it was the strawberry she got from vending machine, I was happy too!
Nothing weird at all... (Nelly is a vampire, so, no reflection)
Hey Sean!
Thanks for tip!!! Is all to your Mansion, anyway
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
@LegacySims2017
Congrats on two Gold dates Dante!

No worries about Yamachan. Not your fault the mascot isn't showing up.

I downloaded the cafe lot from @Ellupelluellu's game and she had a bite to eat with Father Winter himself.
Hello Babs.
Literally this is all she does some days and she's still only at like a level 5.
Back at the gym, which is a teen hangout lot.
And then wrapping up her night by fishing for some fertilizer for her garden.
Love Day hike with the promised one.
How realistic, how sad.
@DoloresGrey
I love Teddy and Kaori together, so cute!
@Ellupelluellu
I can't get Yamachan to leave me alone. He comes over every day and tries to make cake or get a drink of water.
I'll do my post for yesterday and today later. Been busy and was exhausted last night. June hates snowboarding, skiing, and rock climbing so it's been interesting lol.

Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried

It's Teddy and Kaori!
Living alone can be, well, lonely...so June got a puppy! Even more responsibility. Can you handle it, June?
He just comes and hangs out like he owns the place.

January 5th
Dear Diary,
The homesickness finally hit. I knew it would, but man, I miss Mom and Dad like crazy. Even though I know they’d be nagging and worrying like they always do, I just miss waking up in the morning to Dad whistling as he makes breakfast, or Mom telling me I’ll be late for school. Nobody wakes me up in the morning any more, and I never thought that I’d miss it, but I really, really do. I wonder if Nanny Nia ever missed her family like this?
So, as is pretty traditional at this point, Amelia has a garden! It's not much of one, but gardens are a good way to make money while you sleep.
Unfortunately, in order to keep things up, she still has to contend with Jenny's Curse, and she lost this round. She's already exhausted, so this really didn't help her mood. She's starting to get to that point where she's constantly tired or tense.
After school, I had her start planting things in the garden - of course going for the spring plants! I'll replace them once the season changes, of course.
And, after that, it was the end of the day. I'm not making huge progress on her aspirations, I have to admit - it's hard to do so! But for now, I think we're getting along just fine.
January 6th
I met Yamachan, the local mascot! He had some handlers, and we took a selfie together. Apparently there’s going to be a local festival soon, too, which sounds incredible. I asked my landlords, the Wakabas, about it, and they told me that there’s three different festivals that get held around here, each of them full of food and fun and local people running stalls. Apparently, at the snow festival, people make giant sculptures, and at the light festival, you can watch fire dancing and hang wishes on a special tree. I really, really want to go to one of these! They sound like so much fun.
Oh, and Yamachan is usually there too, apparently? I wish Newcrest had mascots like this, it would get a lot more people into a community spirit. I think so, at least. I mean, the most we do in Newcrest is always organised by people who like telling people what to do wayyyyy too much. I’m really excited for the festival!
First up - huge improvements to the house! I think I scored some good gold Simmis and that's what led to this? My memory's still a little fuzzy from being unwell, but I'm so pleased with how things are. I think I might mostly leave the house like this for now and focus on aspirations and building up money. Amelia has her own bedrooms as well as a living space, and everything looks much nicer!
She also learned Scruberoo and Repairo, if I remember correctly, and has been working on her magic for a little bit. For now, I'll probably also leave her magic where it is, due to needing to get those aspirations done.
And of course, part of that was getting a selfie with Yamachan! He was only too happy to oblige. Say cheese, Amelia!
The garden has added extra duties onto her day, but it's also helping keep her responsibility up. I'm hoping she'll get the Responsible trait when she does age up, but I'll have to make sure to keep it all balanced. This challenge can make that a bit hard!
Also, thanks to her efforts with the Simmi machine, she collected the entire set (though they've all been sold) and now has this lovely plaque! Hopefully it's the first of many!
I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things, and I can't wait to catch up. Having played ahead is definitely a help for my having been unwell!

Hiking seemed like a good way to perhaps complete both of those, but sadly all we encountered was a displeased Lily Feng.
Back on her home lot, she took one last hike before bedtime and got lucky
In the morning, Morgan randomly showed up on her lot and started tending her garden.
"What are you doing here?"
"My dad had to check on a few things on our rental property, so I thought I'd tag along and surprise you. Unfortunately, I'm just here for the day."
Morgan is Rory approved.
It was a gorgeous summer day, so they decided to go hiking. (And I had high hopes that Flora would become emotionally mindful and finish off this aspiration, but no luck).
Though the day was beautiful, the heat was becoming a bit unbearable. As they rested in the shade, all they could think of was the cool water of the Wakaba River.
"I've been dying to do this all day..."
"My dad's calling," Morgan sighed, checking her very waterproof phone. "I gotta go.."
Flora stayed for a bit longer, letting her body and mind properly cool off.
A bit of skill building in the evening so we can make more aspiration progress.
And then what do you know, she became emotionally mindful after doing some fishing.
Here's a few items Flora has collected. The pitbeast simmi was her first simmi, and I've never had a sim get that one before, so I decided she could keep it. That element showed up on her lot after a lightening strike, so I thought that was kind of cool so she kept it.
—-
I have reached the last of my pre-played updates; hoping to have time to play more this weekend!
I really love her little collection, and Morgan and Flora make for such a cute couple! I love that they get to do all these fun things together, and they seem like a good match, too!
Daughters of Hesperia
The beginning of this challenge is always the toughest for our teens eh? But hey, at least she has the basic necessities now.
I hope she gets to visit some festivals too, especially the snow sculpture one. It's so pretty. Ditto for the one with the floating lanterns.
Congrats on the house remodel, it looks great! Yes, it is hard balancing those traits. Responsible goes up a lot easier than the opposite. Good luck with that! Congrats on completing the Simmi collection!
I'm so glad you're feeling better, welcome back!
@permanentrose
(It was too cute an opportunity to pass up, so I let her go when Steve invited her...first time she's travelled outside Mt. Komorebi.)
And she completed her first aspiration!
(Now I'm working on Mt. Komorebi sightseer, and a lot of the stuff she's already done. Should I do it again, or just cheat it as done? What do you guys think? I totally forgot I could switch out lol. I should make it hard for myself and just do it again. I've also been playing in Winter this whole time because I liked the idea of playing in "real time" and making the seasons match the current season, but I have a feeling I may need to change seasons to fulfill some aspirations.)
@permanentrose I love her little shelf of collectibles.
@DoloresGrey
@LegacySims2017 Yes, June got the dislike thing pop up, and I rolled with it. Still, she's managed to get level 9 skiing, so that's nice. Can't believe Dante scared himself with his pranks lol.
@Ellupelluellu Very nice photo of Babs at the piano

@lilypadmeulin
I bet going to the festivals will also help Amelia with her homesickness. Her little home is coming along nicely. She's got her essentials. Congrats to Amelia for completing the Simmi collection, even if she did have to sell them for simoleons. She'll have the plaque to remember her accomplishment.
