Wonder if Jane has secret desire for Greg
Not what I know of, I think she is just generally tired of the lose lady, trying to catch every male on the market.
Perhaps she should take a job elsewhere
You are right, the problem is that I am too curious at what happens with that conflict, after all it was just a little punch to the jaw.
No not nice John
@DivaDoodle
Thanks for reading and comments
Ya – I also love that Mateo pose What if there is an earthquake!
LOL Ya, but as the Café is names after that statue, would be impossible to convince Marble to get rid of it. She likes it and no risk for her as she does not work there (darn the rich they always draw the longer straw)
Interesting she stays outside work now! ya that was strange immediately after hitting, she went out there and stayed for a while. Waiting for Mussete to get back to her own room.
I have no active house – mostly jump clockwise or look for where I would guess something might happen.
@Tamijo : Good for Jane that Mussete was too mindful not to accuse her of assault! She has had such a bad life before coming to the settlement that such an incident shouldn´t lead to an expel of her! Furthermore she was right, in my opinion and if you offset the actions against each other I think Mussete´s behavior is much more hurting than Jane´s.
But she should try to get a different job, or Mussete should quit?
I´m sorry for Greg, but after all he had some fun with her, so he shouldn´t be too sad.
The house of the firefighters looks very rich in contrast to the other houses, the boys have a lot of taste. And a bar! Maybe that is the reason no-one comes to the bar atm?
Yeah well, what a romantical date, at the dumpster in the night... and after some kisses the lover is more interested in dumpster diving that bringing her safely home... it could have been worse... somehow...
Waiting for the next chapter, it sooo interesting what happens in this little settlement. How many people live there now?
But she should try to get a different job, or Mussete should quit?
Ya I know, but can’t help myself. So curious at how that one develops. Will try to avoid a catastrophe, but not yet.
The firefighters are rather well of, that said the Gentry-Beach household is the wealthiest in the village
They are 29 people in the village, including 5 children and 5 teens
I supppose the rescue centre is a fire station? It looks like a fire station.
Nicholás Valiente has a very nice dog. That looks pretty good. Maaaybe pets will be the next expansion pack I get, if I decide to buy another one. (I bought plenty on the recent sale, so it's gonna have to be a while, though.)
Haha, the "intelligent" look on Mussette Mercier's face when she wants to give flowers to Nicholás. :P
Oh yeah, never mind, the rescue centre is a fire station, of course! D'oh! :P
The community is getting many new additions, I'm amazed at how fast it grows. When you first started your story I wasn't expecting it to get this advanced with laundry machines and fire stations and least of all a fashion house!
Aww, the cat! I like animals.. maybe later! :P
Oh shoot, more violence. I was about to write that I have come to like the Mercier family, and then Mussete gets a punch..
What a pleasant look on Myra's face, but next to the dumpster is not a very romantic spot! Haha, priorities... Darn it John, stop rooting through the trash and walk your girlfriend home! :P
@Sprottenham
Ya it is (or was) a fire station, sadly could not make it work for me, so now it is a hangout in-game, still a rescue centre story wise.
Yes slowly but steadily included the buildings I would like to have, but as I won’t use rabbit hole workplaces, I think there will not be much more, at least for a while. The same with villagers, got about the numbers I what, so the additions will be very slow from now if any at all.
If we lose some, they might be replaced though. Also some will pass trough not intended to stay, unless?
This month Jenny will turn 36 and Marbel 23 years old.
Soon the team specialised in tower construction, would arrive at the site of the receiver tower construction. The leading engineer Andy Mclain who was also responsible for the rebuilding of the village, has rented the empty “student” house. The new project will take too much time, to be living in a small prison. His daughter Veronica and their dog Dolly, will also live in Greg’s River, during the construction process.
Shina Nara felt a lot more secure about Botan and Norma now, and she respected the work Norma did. To lift some of the workload off Norma, she began to again take some shifts at the sales station. In return Norma take care of Daichi
With that look at John face, I’m not sure I want to know, what the teens did in the bathroom
Anders Karlson have grown as tall as an adult, no longer looking or acting as a teenager. He and Elea Helsby spend a lot of time together and seems to be fond of each other. If you ask, they claim to be just best friends.
Charles Vaughan is very glad his mother is now working, not to have to leave her alone every morning. Now he can make breakfast for them, knowing they both have a job to attend, after they have eaten together.
Greg Preston is tired by the fact that too often plates attract bugs before they are cleaned. To avoid that he has ordered a dishwasher. Also, the Nara’s got one in this period.
There were some situations where captured wildlife broke out of their enclosures.
The first harvest this season, the crops plenty due to the wet hot conditions.
Terry has bought the ingrediencies to make a huge wonderful cake. In a relatively poor household like his, the 1700$ donation from “Ent” can do wonders.
One day almost all the workers from the construction site came to visit “River fashion house”, a busy day for Mussete Mercier and Michiko Vaughan.
The constructions workers were not interested in tattoos, as soon as she saw them leave the house, Jane went back out, as she still does most of the time, when there are no visitors in her shop.
Simon Stones is often lonely, he settled in “Greg’s River” because the was in love with Magdalena Mercier but that went very wrong after she became pregnant. Now he is mostly at home reading writing or playing the guitar.
Family breakfast at the Mercier’s, Mateo is such a clever boy, always doing his part.
Editorial:
Jenny fixed the shower at Greg’s, did not get a SC
Did nothing to attract the builders, they came to the fashion house, because they wanted to.

@Tamijo Jenny looks wonderful, healthy and happy considering how she looked when she arrived.
New faces are always good to a town even if they are temporary. Who knows if they will join at some point.
Shina looks great in her work outfit.
lol, that is a funny shot of John and Myra.
ewww...gross spoiled foods and flies.
Hope the dishwasher is used frequently!
What a wonderful harvest!
Poor Simon does seem a loner type.
The crowd at the shop is awesome. Hope they spent some money.
@Tamijo : Yes, Greg, a dishwasher is such a good Idea! No more rotten food and flies all around.
I love that Charles prepares the breakfast for his mum and himself. Has he ever had a wish for a girl ar did he ever dated one? He needs one in my opinion.
So great that Michiko has a job at the shop, btw.
Poor Jane, getting out of the job and away from Mussete. I am still so worried for her.
Congrats on the birthday, Anders, does he get a special job, too?
So there are 29 citizens in the village? That´s not much, but they seem do run the village very good. There will just be new settlers, now, when some of the workers decide to stay? What are the conditions for them to stay?
Interesting bedroom for the workers, buuut: just one room for men and women????
@bekkasan
Jenny is lovely – a very important personality for me.
Simon is so isolated. I am considering that he may want to leave the community.
“Hope they spent some money” Oh yes the did, bought several pairs of shoes and a raincoat
Anders, wrote a book when living at Greg’s, already started his 2nd, so the trend is that he might become a writer. (not chosen that as a job so far, though)
Charles is romantically interested in Jane, but he is not very offensive, as we all know MOM is best.
The constructions workers can only stay if they do one of those options autonome:
1..They move directly into an existing home in the village
2..They become a parent of a child in the village
3..They Marry someone in the village
The Engineer and his daughter is different, they are thought as possible new settlers and might stay if fate shows signs that they like it here (friendships and stuff like that will determine if it is likely they would like to stay)
Ivory have learned all she can from the Xylophone, now is slowly starting to walk, small steeps of course.
Harvest came a little later in the Nara household, than in the other farming houses. Might be that the soil at their location is a bit drier, than at the houses closer to the river.
Greg Preston, Elea Helsby and Myra Frances took the volunteers duty at the Rescue Centre this period.
Engineer Mclain took his daughter to the Fashion House, she was looking for a new blouse.
Besides playing the drums Anders Karlson is also interested in writing, he completed his first novel while living at Greg’s and his 2nd is almost ready to be published.
Charles Vaughan is also very interested in writing, when he has a bit of time after work at the trade station. He has already released 3 novels, most famous “A brother, A sister” about all the family members he lost in his childhood. He now slowly started work at his fourth book.
The very first villager to have visited “Beach Creative Institute” was Mateo Mercier playing with his beloved teddy bear. He was not alone at the Institute for long, as Veronica Mclain was soon the enter the venue.
Veronica Mclain in general an energetic girl. Good at meeting and chatting with the villagers.
Mercier’s Cat Cio, is the kind of cat that wouldn’t dream of hunting down a mouse as long as there is food in the cat bowl. Not to mention getting outdoors on a rainy day.
The otherwise shy Andy Mclain had a brief flirt with Norma Dahl, way to early to guess if that could develop into something more.
The Pegasus Café was full most days in the period, when counting cash register in the morning, it was very evident that the construction workers needed a drink and some entertainment after a hard day’s work.
John Hallett and Harald Dahl played a ranked game of chess, the much stronger Harald won with ease.
Jiro Nara love to dress up
As we already know the Beach-Gentry family is very harmonic, love is in the air all the time.
Although the settlement is growing it is very rural, fishing and hunting is still an important source of income for many villagers.
Marked Sales from this Period: Preston household:
A crate of Turtles and Snakes 163$
A Smoky Quartz 32$
Birds 36$
Richards household:
Salted fish 33$
Gentry-Beach household:
Vegetables 44$
A Turtle 8$
Mercier household:
Vegetables 129$
Eggs 141$
Editorial:
“A Brother, A Sister” was not my title, he chose that by himself.
I did not change Jiro Nara’s outfit, she did.
This season have not used “free” plants, (existing plants survived the winter), but still has to direct planting of new seeds they already got, they don’t auto plant anything.
As seen Veronica Mclain was up for a new outfit, but did not auto change it, so I made a new outfit in CAS, all pictures though completely autonome.
Otherwise, everything autonome.
@Tamijo : another great update!
I don´t comment on the songs very often, I generally like your choice of music very much, but this song I loved!
I love the Beach-Gentrys, I had thought that he wanted to have a different woman when he flirted with others at the beginning, but they love each other very much, it seems! Good for their little daughter (who is very slow in learning, btw!!!! )
Bummer, I thought that it was Michiko who made the perfectly fitting outfit for Veronica Mclain who seems to like to live in the settlement already. I hope her dad find someone so they can stay!
Oho, her dad IS INDEED very fast!
Wow, your Pegasus Café is a very popular place! I hope the workers don´t drink too much so they don´t make mistakes while working!!!!!!
I really, really loved to be a cat sometimes! Just eating, sleeping and chilling, what a life!!!!
Aww, Charles Vaughan has touched something in my heart. He is such a sweetheart, always working so hard, helping his mum, trying to lead a good life after having such a bad beginning..... and now you tell us that he had lost siblings.... soooo sad! Can´t you do something for him that he could find his soulmate???? He is already an adult!!!!
I don´t know if you´ve written it before and I´ve already forgot it(stupid old brain) : do the inactive Sims harvest on their own?
Veronica's new outfit is super cute, and it's great to see the Beach-Gentrys still in love. Also nice to see the creative institute finally get some use. I thought that was a cool idea for a lot.
Hi @LilynWolf
Thanks for comment, glad you see that you read my story.
I guess it would be nicer for you to become a full member - so I took a trip around all your posts to give you some awesome points.
You are almost there, now just make 8 fast entries (like a "nice post" "lovely picture" here and there) and you are in.
@AlexaKry
Love that one too, one of the very early Jazz standards, like Jazz a lot and might actually start using instrumentals also (if the title fits),
Like “Black Market” if Norma gets her own sales stand.
(sorry – could not help myself – always got a million melodies in my head) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7_vNpVXubA
True Brandon surprised with his dedication to Marbel and amazing fatherhood
Ya - sadly haven’t seen any “transformations” in the fashion shop yet.
Can´t you do something for him that he could find his soulmate????
It is not possible. He has to work on that himself. He as almost 40 years old, so time flies, he got to get out more. I might “steal” his job though, was about too actually, as his mother got one and his writing is good. But no guarantee that will help, and not sure it will be right now.
The way I play, I constantly jump from one house to the next – so everything is more or less done “inactiv”.
Hardly every stay with them long enough to start a new activity, only stay more than 5-10 in-game minutes if I need to see an activity completed, like the situation with John, where I stay to see that he does next after the kissing (icone shows dumpster so wait for that to happen)
So, in short, all three harvest situations were started while inactive, same with egg’s collections, fishing, repair, laundry, teach to walk, and everything else, they all starts while inactive.
NB: I got the impression that you need to “wake them” by making them active a few times or more a day, otherwise then tend to just “freeze”, think the game attempt to save memory and freeze those that are not frequently active.
@AlexaKry
Forgot to mention Charles was brought up in the middle of a tribal was, lost his farther, two brothers and a sister.
We don't know what happened to her, she was kidnapped. the brothers are dead.
Episode 47 –Staring at The Sun - August 2727 part 1
Summer stretching on the grass - Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree - Creeps are crawling over me
Over me and over you - Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer - Let's get undercover
Don't try too hard to think - Don't think at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Gr8Lf2Bzo
Two Birthdays this month in the village. Greg Preston will become 59 years old. John Hallett 19. Nicholás Valiente’s dog Ariko will be 4 this month.
For the small Birthday celebration Greg bought a new waistcoat at Michiko’s shop. Quite anonymous, far from the typical attention seeker, our village leader.
Brendon and Marble washing machine broke down at the beginning of the month. Marble did the repair a few days later.
Armel Mercier comes over to the Preston household, to chat with John Hallett. John gets a bit annoyed with the fact that the old man does not hear well, saying what again and again.
A bright August morning. Myra & John enjoys the sunrise together
On a hot sunny day, can also be quite nice to have no customers. The stylists sunbathing at the Fashion Shop balcony.
Without rebuilding the house. The Beach-Gentry household extended their square meters. Two new rooms upstairs. A relatively simple master bedroom and an extra bathroom.
Anders finished his 2nd book, a short fiction story “Battle Gnomes”, now also Elea Helsby was inspired and starts work on her first book.
A day off, in the rescue workers home, both casual and relaxed.
While mother tend her sales stand, also Jiro Nara opens her small “juice” stand. Later on, that day Botan agrees with the other “Elders”, that Shina's Sales Stand will be better located at the Beach Creative Institute hoping for mutual benefit, if able to attract more visitors to both venues.
Mateo Mercier is not good at cleaning in the henhouses, almost always about to throw up due to the harsh smell, but a good boy does what he was told too. He knows, if he lived in “Ent” there would be homework and other awful duties you don’t get here.
Greg went over to Greg’s River Dump to look for anything useful to bring home, but he did not find anything.
The trade station was summing with people this month, mostly just coming to chat, read or relax.
The actual trading was delayed by an extensive exchange of flowers between Brendon and Marble. In the end the village leader had to command them to go home and continue their romance in private. Just some of the more than ten bouquets changing hands
Several settlers were occupied with the relocation of Shina's Sales Stand into Beach Creative Institute, after which the old location was rebuild and renamed to Three Blue Benches Park
Editorial:
As you might guess from the above, send Brendon and Marble home as it started to look like a flower loop.
Otherwise, everything autonome.
@Tamijo :
What an interesting song: Weather Report-Black Market! You can literally hear the market! Greatly made! I´ve searched for more songs on youtube and had afun time with the music. My only problem after hearing some songs one after the other is the syntheziser they´ve used intensely, I like my Jazz more old fashioned.
My dad listened to swing and the softer Jazz numbers so I grew up with that and liked it a lot.
Not only one transformation in the fashion shop? Wow, I thought they would storm it, mine do when I place one in town. Sims!
Do you get money from the new clothing? Is that even possible?
Wow, you are heavily family jumping! I wouldn´t even be able to do so, I always need sooo much time to get used to what I see what my new family does when I change.
So you don´t watch them from map view what they are doing, staying in one family for some more time? Kudos for such an intense playing!!!!!
Yeah, you´ve written that Charles and his mum were in the war and that they had to hid from their chasers, but I didn´t thought of him having siblings!
So Jane is his sister???
According to Simon´s traits: do you have a fitness center? Maybe he would go out to train?
Oh wow, Greg´s new outfit is nice! Understatement but classy! Fits him perfectly. Oh mey, he is already 59! I hope he´ll have lots of more years to come, with the hard life they lead!
Armel Mercier comes over to the Preston household, to chat with John Hallett. John gets a bit annoyed with the fact that the old man does not hear well, saying what again and again.
LOL! Teens, always so impatient!
And lol about the fashionistas! Sunbathing while working! What a nice ways to earn money!
Mateo Mercier is not good at cleaning in the henhouses, almost always about to throw up due to the harsh smell, but a good boy does what he was told too. He knows, if he lived in “Ent” there would be homework and other awful duties you don’t get here.
I could sign that, Mateo! A good throw up once in a while is much better than going to school. He problably hopes that a new school will be finished after he grew up...
by all that traffic at the station it would be much easier for Charles to get to know someone, I hope for him there will walk in the perfect woman for him!
First the “jazz”
Completely agree with the “syntheziser”. Was the curse of this type of mid to late 70’s Jazz fussion.
I usually prefer more traditional like you do. Louis Armstrong, Ben Webster, Bill Evans, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Roland Kirk, Stan Getz………..and so on.
Did a short post about the birth of Jazz, you might like it: https://tamijo2013.wordpress.com/2014/03/16/jass-was-born-in-new-orleans/
The story: Do you get money from the new clothing? Is that even possible?
The system is that they are paid on an hourly basis, that I have defined in register mod. I am a quite cheap, right now it is 45$/ hour all jobs, in the near future I will change it a bit so some jobs are better pay than others, actually had that in mind for some time, but never got around to doing it. Sadly they don’t get paid more or less no matter how many customers.
So you don´t watch them from map view what they are doing
Only it I need to see an interesting development to the end. In most cases no.
So Jane is his sister??? We don’t know much for sure, but can safely say no to that one.
According to Simon´s traits: do you have a fitness center? Maybe he would go out to train?
Fun you ask because less than 2 hours before I read that, I changed the fire station to a fitness. Not so much to have a fitness centre, but had to many “hangouts” spreading out the villagers looking for a place to meet. Anyway, even as a “hangout” many went to train there, but not Simon.
Charles do get round, and knows several women well…lots of hope for him if he brushes teeth, put on his best jacket, and buy 6-7 bouquets, the standard amount to get laid around here.
@tamijo Playing catch up this morning. I really enjoyed reading the updates while drinking my coffee.
"Ain't she sweet", that was even before my time. Made me want to get up and do the Charleston though, but I continued sipping coffee and reading. Too early for that kind of activity for these old hips.
Ivory is growning and learning to walk! Such a devoted Daddy.
She is very happy with her new blouse. That's great!
It's nice to see the venue starting to attract visitors.
Love the picture of the sleeping cat!
Jiro looks so cute!
I like Greg's new outfit very much. Looks great on him.
Great picture with John trying to get Armel to hear him! I had to grin. I do that a lot in my job.
oh... the kids don't have schooling? I just realized with the comment from Mateo that there is not a school yet. Hope they get some form of home schooling.
lol at Brendon and Marble getting carried away with the flowers. Perhaps a new lullaby was heard? My townies seem to pop out babies within no time after the first one. I usually have it set so no more than 3 in SP settings for townies though.
That is nice they have some food choices at the park now.
Beautiful summer day. I enjoyed the song that went with it also.

Harvest came a little later in the Nara household, than in the other farming houses. Might be that the soil at their location is a bit drier, than at the houses closer to the river.
Greg Preston, Elea Helsby and Myra Frances took the volunteers duty at the Rescue Centre this period.
Engineer Mclain took his daughter to the Fashion House, she was looking for a new blouse.
Besides playing the drums Anders Karlson is also interested in writing, he completed his first novel while living at Greg’s and his 2nd is almost ready to be published.
Charles Vaughan is also very interested in writing, when he has a bit of time after work at the trade station. He has already released 3 novels, most famous “A brother, A sister” about all the family members he lost in his childhood. He now slowly started work at his fourth book.
The very first villager to have visited “Beach Creative Institute” was Mateo Mercier playing with his beloved teddy bear. He was not alone at the Institute for long, as Veronica Mclain was soon the enter the venue.
Veronica Mclain in general an energetic girl. Good at meeting and chatting with the villagers.
Mercier’s Cat Cio, is the kind of cat that wouldn’t dream of hunting down a mouse as long as there is food in the cat bowl. Not to mention getting outdoors on a rainy day.
The otherwise shy Andy Mclain had a brief flirt with Norma Dahl, way to early to guess if that could develop into something more.
The Pegasus Café was full most days in the period, when counting cash register in the morning, it was very evident that the construction workers needed a drink and some entertainment after a hard day’s work.
John Hallett and Harald Dahl played a ranked game of chess, the much stronger Harald won with ease.
Jiro Nara love to dress up
As we already know the Beach-Gentry family is very harmonic, love is in the air all the time.
Although the settlement is growing it is very rural, fishing and hunting is still an important source of income for many villagers.

Mercier household:Editorial:
“A Brother, A Sister” was not my title, he chose that by himself.
I did not change Jiro Nara’s outfit, she did.
This season have not used “free” plants, (existing plants survived the winter), but still has to direct planting of new seeds they already got, they don’t auto plant anything.
As seen Veronica Mclain was up for a new outfit, but did not auto change it, so I made a new outfit in CAS, all pictures though completely autonome.
Otherwise, everything autonome.
I don´t comment on the songs very often, I generally like your choice of music very much, but this song I loved!
I love the Beach-Gentrys, I had thought that he wanted to have a different woman when he flirted with others at the beginning, but they love each other very much, it seems! Good for their little daughter (who is very slow in learning, btw!!!!
Bummer, I thought that it was Michiko who made the perfectly fitting outfit for Veronica Mclain who seems to like to live in the settlement already. I hope her dad find someone so they can stay!
Oho, her dad IS INDEED very fast!
Wow, your Pegasus Café is a very popular place! I hope the workers don´t drink too much so they don´t make mistakes while working!!!!!!
I really, really loved to be a cat sometimes! Just eating, sleeping and chilling, what a life!!!!
Aww, Charles Vaughan has touched something in my heart. He is such a sweetheart, always working so hard, helping his mum, trying to lead a good life after having such a bad beginning..... and now you tell us that he had lost siblings.... soooo sad! Can´t you do something for him that he could find his soulmate???? He is already an adult!!!!
I don´t know if you´ve written it before and I´ve already forgot it(stupid old brain) : do the inactive Sims harvest on their own?

Veronica's new outfit is super cute, and it's great to see the Beach-Gentrys still in love. Also nice to see the creative institute finally get some use. I thought that was a cool idea for a lot.
Thanks for comment, glad you see that you read my story.
I guess it would be nicer for you to become a full member - so I took a trip around all your posts to give you some awesome points.
You are almost there, now just make 8 fast entries (like a "nice post" "lovely picture" here and there) and you are in.

Love that one too, one of the very early Jazz standards, like Jazz a lot and might actually start using instrumentals also (if the title fits),
Like “Black Market” if Norma gets her own sales stand.
(sorry – could not help myself – always got a million melodies in my head)
True Brandon surprised with his dedication to Marbel and amazing fatherhood
Ya - sadly haven’t seen any “transformations” in the fashion shop yet.
Can´t you do something for him that he could find his soulmate????
It is not possible. He has to work on that himself. He as almost 40 years old, so time flies, he got to get out more. I might “steal” his job though, was about too actually, as his mother got one and his writing is good. But no guarantee that will help, and not sure it will be right now.
The way I play, I constantly jump from one house to the next – so everything is more or less done “inactiv”.
Hardly every stay with them long enough to start a new activity, only stay more than 5-10 in-game minutes if I need to see an activity completed, like the situation with John, where I stay to see that he does next after the kissing (icone shows dumpster so wait for that to happen)
So, in short, all three harvest situations were started while inactive, same with egg’s collections, fishing, repair, laundry, teach to walk, and everything else, they all starts while inactive.
NB: I got the impression that you need to “wake them” by making them active a few times or more a day, otherwise then tend to just “freeze”, think the game attempt to save memory and freeze those that are not frequently active.

Forgot to mention Charles was brought up in the middle of a tribal was, lost his farther, two brothers and a sister.
We don't know what happened to her, she was kidnapped. the brothers are dead.
I like the details that you mention the quality of the soil and how much crops they get.
Jane Harper looks like a very tough woman.
Oh, poor Simon Stone being lonely, or maybe he is a loner and enjoys the lifestyle.
I like the look of the construction worker home at the end.
Nice updates on the villagers. Of course, the construction workers will not to wind down after a hard day of labor..

Simon is not a loner - It is quite strange that a single man would stay at home this often.
Episode 47 –Staring at The Sun - August 2727 part 1
In the shade of a willow tree - Creeps are crawling over me
Over me and over you - Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer - Let's get undercover
Don't try too hard to think - Don't think at all
Two Birthdays this month in the village. Greg Preston will become 59 years old. John Hallett 19. Nicholás Valiente’s dog Ariko will be 4 this month.
For the small Birthday celebration Greg bought a new waistcoat at Michiko’s shop. Quite anonymous, far from the typical attention seeker, our village leader.
Brendon and Marble washing machine broke down at the beginning of the month. Marble did the repair a few days later.
Armel Mercier comes over to the Preston household, to chat with John Hallett. John gets a bit annoyed with the fact that the old man does not hear well, saying what again and again.
A bright August morning. Myra & John enjoys the sunrise together
On a hot sunny day, can also be quite nice to have no customers. The stylists sunbathing at the Fashion Shop balcony.
Without rebuilding the house. The Beach-Gentry household extended their square meters. Two new rooms upstairs. A relatively simple master bedroom and an extra bathroom.
Anders finished his 2nd book, a short fiction story “Battle Gnomes”, now also Elea Helsby was inspired and starts work on her first book.
A day off, in the rescue workers home, both casual and relaxed.
While mother tend her sales stand, also Jiro Nara opens her small “juice” stand. Later on, that day Botan agrees with the other “Elders”, that Shina's Sales Stand will be better located at the Beach Creative Institute hoping for mutual benefit, if able to attract more visitors to both venues.
Mateo Mercier is not good at cleaning in the henhouses, almost always about to throw up due to the harsh smell, but a good boy does what he was told too. He knows, if he lived in “Ent” there would be homework and other awful duties you don’t get here.
Greg went over to Greg’s River Dump to look for anything useful to bring home, but he did not find anything.
The trade station was summing with people this month, mostly just coming to chat, read or relax.
The actual trading was delayed by an extensive exchange of flowers between Brendon and Marble. In the end the village leader had to command them to go home and continue their romance in private.
Just some of the more than ten bouquets changing hands
Several settlers were occupied with the relocation of Shina's Sales Stand into Beach Creative Institute, after which the old location was rebuild and renamed to Three Blue Benches Park

What an interesting song: Weather Report-Black Market! You can literally hear the market! Greatly made! I´ve searched for more songs on youtube and had afun time with the music. My only problem after hearing some songs one after the other is the syntheziser they´ve used intensely, I like my Jazz more old fashioned.
My dad listened to swing and the softer Jazz numbers so I grew up with that and liked it a lot.
Not only one transformation in the fashion shop? Wow, I thought they would storm it, mine do when I place one in town. Sims!
Do you get money from the new clothing? Is that even possible?
Wow, you are heavily family jumping!
So you don´t watch them from map view what they are doing, staying in one family for some more time? Kudos for such an intense playing!!!!!
Yeah, you´ve written that Charles and his mum were in the war and that they had to hid from their chasers, but I didn´t thought of him having siblings!
So Jane is his sister???
According to Simon´s traits: do you have a fitness center? Maybe he would go out to train?
Oh wow, Greg´s new outfit is nice! Understatement but classy! Fits him perfectly. Oh mey, he is already 59! I hope he´ll have lots of more years to come, with the hard life they lead!
LOL! Teens, always so impatient!
And lol about the fashionistas! Sunbathing while working! What a nice ways to earn money!
I could sign that, Mateo! A good throw up once in a while is much better than going to school. He problably hopes that a new school will be finished after he grew up...
LOL 10 bouquets! Well, they can afford it, right?
Great and humorous update!

Thanks for lovely comments.
First the “jazz”
Completely agree with the “syntheziser”. Was the curse of this type of mid to late 70’s Jazz fussion.
I usually prefer more traditional like you do. Louis Armstrong, Ben Webster, Bill Evans, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Roland Kirk, Stan Getz………..and so on.
Did a short post about the birth of Jazz, you might like it:

The story:
Do you get money from the new clothing? Is that even possible?
The system is that they are paid on an hourly basis, that I have defined in register mod. I am a quite cheap, right now it is 45$/ hour all jobs, in the near future I will change it a bit so some jobs are better pay than others, actually had that in mind for some time, but never got around to doing it. Sadly they don’t get paid more or less no matter how many customers.
So you don´t watch them from map view what they are doing
Only it I need to see an interesting development to the end. In most cases no.
So Jane is his sister??? We don’t know much for sure, but can safely say no to that one.
According to Simon´s traits: do you have a fitness center? Maybe he would go out to train?
Fun you ask because less than 2 hours before I read that, I changed the fire station to a fitness. Not so much to have a fitness centre, but had to many “hangouts” spreading out the villagers looking for a place to meet. Anyway, even as a “hangout” many went to train there, but not Simon.
Charles do get round, and knows several women well…lots of hope for him if he brushes teeth, put on his best jacket, and buy 6-7 bouquets, the standard amount to get laid around here.
Thanks again for kind remarks.
@tamijo Playing catch up this morning. I really enjoyed reading the updates while drinking my coffee.
"Ain't she sweet", that was even before my time.
Ivory is growning and learning to walk! Such a devoted Daddy.
She is very happy with her new blouse. That's great!
It's nice to see the venue starting to attract visitors.
Love the picture of the sleeping cat!
Jiro looks so cute!
I like Greg's new outfit very much. Looks great on him.
Great picture with John trying to get Armel to hear him! I had to grin. I do that a lot in my job.
oh... the kids don't have schooling? I just realized with the comment from Mateo that there is not a school yet. Hope they get some form of home schooling.
lol at Brendon and Marble getting carried away with the flowers. Perhaps a new lullaby was heard? My townies seem to pop out babies within no time after the first one. I usually have it set so no more than 3 in SP settings for townies though.
That is nice they have some food choices at the park now.
Beautiful summer day. I enjoyed the song that went with it also.
