I want to test out Grandpa's Grove as well as Roaring Heights so I have enlisted Mikezumi and Shannon's help Mikezumi can't quite believe the hair and outfit I have given her but she will get over it Shannon only got new hair and a new formal outfit because his everyday outfit is perfect for a farming life Mikezumi doesn't know it yet but the purpose of the apron will become clear to her when I have her try some canning and baking By the time I done with her she will be a perfect candidate for the Country Women's Association
What better way to get to know your husband than to make funny faces They were only acquaintances at this point but they were husband and wife by the time I set them up with skills and LTRs before placing them as a household in a fresh save.
I don't know how well you can see the hearts against the tree but they are there
Mikezumi looks pleased that I have given her such a handsome sim
A quick test of the tractor before saving them to the library
Shannon and Mikezumi arrived in Roaring Heights (for the second time but this is the only one that counts ). It's a good thing that Mikezumi is thinking about gardening because she will have a lot of that ahead of her
Only a few of the plants at the community garden were ready for harvesting and I didn't want herbs and a few of the other plants so Mikezumi and Shannon were able to harvest what was available quickly (it doesn't hurt that I maxed their gardening skills in my earlier set-up session).
There are a lot of plants on the farm but they will be replaced with perfect ones as they become available. I gave Mikezumi one of the perfect apples harvested at the community garden so she could prepare pancakes.
Shannon had a wish to learn the logic skill so I sent him to play chess while Mikezumi cooked.
Because they are both highly skilled the wishes were rolling in! Shannon, however, did not have the cooking skill because I had planned on Mikezumi doing all the cooking but I wasn't surprised he rolled a wish to learn cooking after harvesting plants.
Although I didn't give Shannon cooking skills, I did give him the hidden child oven cooking skills so he leveled up to 3 as soon as he opened the cooking book. His first wish on learning the cooking skill was to learn a fish recipe. I gave him the recipe for fish and chips and it triggered a wish to cook a meal using freshly caught fish.
After preparing a couple of dishes for the fridge, Mikezumi joined Shannon at the fish pond.
Shannon caught several large fish while Mikezumi only managed to catch an anchovy.
Because I had kept them busy setting up for their new life in Roaring Heights, I sent Shannon inside to kiss his wife. In my Monte Vista save they got on beautifully and I didn't have to intervene and I wanted to see if the chemistry existed in this save. I let them go after the initial kiss and they happily flirted with each other
After a few flirts, Mikezumi tried telling a ghost story. I quickly tuned ghost stories out but the mood was broken and Shannon autonomously got on the tractor and fertilized the garden.
Mikezumi had a negative moodlet while watching the TV and I realized it was because they had a cheap TV.
I went into buy mode and couldn't find a good quality TV that didn't look too modern so I settled on this one. It didn't have all the channels but at least no bad moodlets. I got Mikezumi started on a channel upgrade.
Although I didn't take a pic, Shannon cooked fish and chips using one of the fish he caught earlier. It triggered a wish to level up in cooking so I had him use the canning station to improve his cooking skill.
Mikezumi was very happy when they had Shannon's fish and chips for dinner
They watched the stars after dinner
As cute as they are, I think they will be adopting some children in the near future
Since Shannon prepared Mikezumi's favourite, fish and chips, the previous evening, it's only right that Mikezumi prepared Shannon's favourite, pancakes
My SS talks too much like me!
But that's okay because Shannon is also a talker The reason I took those pics is because my sims only talk animatedly when a save is fresh or when they have just been added to a new household.
After eating fish and chips the previous evening, Mikezumi rolled a wish to prepare perfect fish and chips. She used the anchovy she caught the previous day and got her wish
There are a lot of plants in the yard and the tractors make fast work of it but it takes several sweeps with the tractor to get everything. Fortunately it fills the fun bar and would definitely be a lot faster than gardening by hand.
While Shannon tended the garden, Mikezumi visited the community garden to harvest eggs, cheese, steak and patties. When she was done I let her have her waking wish to catch an excellent fish
Watch out Mikezumi!
"Hi honey! You just ran me over but I'll be fine!"
Shannon also had a fishing waking wish
Mikezumi called Adoption Services
I went into map view and saw the Child Services sim approaching the house and got a popup asking what I wanted to adopt but as soon as I input my requirements the game crashed Fortunately I had saved just before the adoption call was made. When the save reloaded I used MC to adopt a little boy This is what arrived
There is no way on God's green earth that this sim would be allowed to live in my household!
I'd already planned Mikezumi and Shannon's future child and did a quick body swap in CAS Welcome Finnian
Wishes for Finnian were rolled and instantly filled
Mikezumi, being family oriented, started on teaching Finnian how to talk because she can do it in record time
Shannon went into town to register as a self-employed gardener
Back at home, Mikezumi was making progress with the talking lesson
You'll scare Finnian with that face, Mikezumi!
By the time Shannon got home, Finnian could talk and he got the first chat
Shannon rolled a wish to potty train Finnian so I had him get started.
Mikezumi and Shannon hadn't had any alone time since breakfast so I had Finnian work on his peg box skills.
They are so cute together and needed no prompting from me once released from their chores
I saw woohoo in Shannon's queue so followed them upstairs and discovered they had chosen the shower
Shannon must have enjoyed himself because he immediately rolled a wish to woohoo with Mikezumi
Shannon didn't get his wish straight away because it was time to eat.
Mikezumi pureed some fish and chips for Finnian too. They are also his favourite meal
I don't like what happens with dresses when sims sit but I didn't mind having to get close because Mikezumi makes the cutest faces!
Although I had decided that Shannon would be the one to get Finnian up and ready for the day (he had the most wishes), Finnian was the first thing Mikezumi looked at
I think Mikezumi and Shannon are enjoying their late life family
They enjoyed Shannon's favourite for breakfast
Mikezumi's waking wish was to tickle Finnian. She also rolled a wish to potty train him.
She didn't enjoy this part of it
Since two tractors are needed to cover the whole farm, Mikezumi helped Shannon out
Because it takes a few sweeps with the tractors (watering, fertilizing and harvesting are done separately), Mikezumi left Shannon to it while she taught Finnian how to walk I am playing a longer lifespan in this game so there is no great rush to train Finnian but Mikezumi rolled a wish to do it and I am all about the wishes
Shannon had a wish to level up in cooking locked in so I had him prepare more pancakes. He autonomously cleaned the counter when he was done
Mikezumi showed Shannon her gratitude
I was watching Finnian when I heard Mikezumi squeal. I don't think I have seen her do this before!
Shannon chose the shower again. He must have been feeling a little dirty after all that gardening
Mikezumi has a wish to prepare 5 perfect meals locked in so I had her prepare some burgers.
While Mikezumi cooked, I had Shannon keep Finnian company
I checked the commmunity garden and found that there were a lot of plants ready for harvesting so I sent the family. Finnian played with his teddy while Mikezumi and Shannon harvested.
I thought it was lovely that Shannon kept looking over at Finnian
The family had fish and chips for dinner again. There are 10 servings in a group meal but they will have more variety now that there is another mouth to feed and they have more perfect produce
Shannon rolled the first stroller wish! I was surprised he went through the garden rather than through the front gate.
I didn't let them go far because it was dark and they don't have neighbours.
Mikezumi prepared some lime marmalade while Shannon and Finnian were on their stroll
They watched the stars when Shannon got home
Mikezumi played with Finnian until he maxed the xylophone then tucked him in for the night
Shannon and Mikezumi must be finding parenthood tiring
Mikezumi got Finnian up and ready for the day while Shannon made the bed
Shannon didn't complain about having pancakes again
Mikezumi's waking wish was to kiss Shannon so I got that out of the way before sending them out to garden.
I took aerial shots of the farm to give an idea of how many plants the tractors are dealing with. This shot shows most of the apple trees but there are a few more in the backyard. I believe Shannon harvested just over 200 apples this morning.
There are also bell peppers, garlic, potatoes, tomatoes, watermelons and onions in the garden.
There are more on this side of the house but the view is obscured by the tractor's harvesting effects.
I saw Mikezumi and Shannon approaching the same corner and wanted to see if they would crash
But they just missed ... that's what I call perfect timing!
When Shannon was done he autonomously went inside to play with Finnian The gardening took less than 2 sim hours and they sold over §2,600 worth of produce.
I imagine this amount will be more than tripled when the plants are replaced with perfect ones!
Both Shannon and Mikezumi had wishes to use the stroller. Shannon went first since he was already playing with Finnian
When I checked on Shannon a little later I found him carrying Finnian so I sent him home.
When I realized Finnian would be on his own while the gardening was being done, I bought him a dollhouse.
Mikezumi rolled a wish to play a game with Shannon. There was no way I was going to buy her a ball!
Shannon's waking wish was to buy a new recipe so I sent him to the bookstore where he met Dyno Marks.
Mikezumi got her stroll while Shannon was at the bookstore.
When Mikezumi got home I had them adopt another toddler. This is what arrived.
He's far from pudding but definitely not my cup of tea!
This is Moss after his body swap in CAS I had meant to use another sim but couldn't find him in the bin. I checked my files later and he was there but it was a small file size so I suspect I may have moved (from my pre-Australia sim files) his toddler file instead of his YA one.
The door was open on the previous shot because Shannon had just come home and was autonomously about to teach Moss how to walk
The kids played while Mikezumi and Shannon tested the safety of the new treehouse
Before they could woohoo again I sent them inside for dinner.
They watched the stars after dinner
Mikezumi made some blueberry jam while Shannon got started on potty training Moss
Shannon enjoys emptying the potty as much as Mikezumi does
Mikezumi got Finnian ready for bed and Shannon did the same for Moss after he emptied the potty.
Shannon got Moss up and ready for the day
Mikezumi did the same for Finnian
Shannon didn't get his favourite but he must have liked the French toast because he rolled a wish to learn the recipe. Needless to say I didn't lock in that wish because it would take him forever to reach level 9 in cooking!
Mikezumi harvested while Shannon watered.
Moss continued with his peg box skills while Finnian did what he wanted since he has mastered his skills.
Once again I saw Mikezumi and Shannon approaching the corner at the same time. The nose of Mikezumi's tractor did pass through the water tanks on the back of Shannon's tractor but it wasn't that obvious.
Mikezumi had a wish to attack Moss with the Claw. When she got her wish she rolled the same for Finnian
Mikezumi finished off Moss' potty training
When the potty training was done, Mikezumi went outside and helped Shannon finish off the gardening. They finished at the same time and I was happy to see Shannon go straight to Mikezumi for a flirt
Mikezumi got her wish to attack Finnian with the Claw
Mikezumi, being family oriented, got the job of teaching Moss how to talk because she can do it much faster than Shannon.
I had Shannon read one of the recipes he bought recently.
Mikezumi continued with the talking lesson
While the family were busy, I placed The Boardwalk on the beach When Moss had learned how to talk I sent the family for a little fun
I also gave Mikezumi and Shannon "You're not on the farm now!" second everyday outfits
There are spring riders at the base of the roller coaster and Finnian and Moss got a ride
Moss got off willingly but Finnian put up a fight
I put a block table near the spring riders and I couldn't believe my eyes when Mikezumi and Shannon pulled out strollers for such a short distance.
Now that Moss can talk the kids can improve their relationship by playing together
Mikezumi and Shannon went to the nearby small track for a quick ride so the kids wouldn't be on their own too long.
The toddlers were happily getting to know each other so I didn't rush Mikezumi and Shannon back to them
When they were done, I had them collect Moss and Finnian so they could go home.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to watch the Cooking Channel. I couldn't think what was wrong with these pics but realized it was that Mikezumi was in the armchair and, in my mind, that is usually dad's place
Don't tell the neighbours that I cheated! The cheap set doesn't have the Cooking Channel
Finnian must be Shannon's favourite because he is constantly rolling wishes for him!
I saw Shannon heading to the tractor. I don't know why he did because the gardening was done but I let him go.
Mikezumi was busy anyway because she was baking a birthday cake for Finnian who would be aging up the next day.
When I checked on Shannon he had finished with the watering and was fertilizing.
I had Shannon come in to help feed the toddlers before they sat down to dinner.
Mikezumi and Shannon took the kids for a stroll after dinner
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars together when they got home
While the kids played ...
Mikezumi and Shannon had some fun of their own
Shannon and Mikezumi got the toddlers up and ready for the day. It's Finnian's last morning as a toddler
Shannon was happy to see pancakes on the table
They both had the same waking wish - to play a game with the other
Mikezumi also had a couple of Moss wishes which hadn't been fulfilled because she got Finnian up.
Shannon got started on the gardening. I was kinda hoping he would run over the mail carrier because I am angry at her for delivering two IFs. I won't be collecting any mail until both the kids age up! It would seem that, although it is possible to tune the chance of getting an IF at birth, that there isn't the same option for adoption (Unless it's not obvious)
Mikezumi rolled a couple of Finnian wishes while playing with Moss
She had a general stroller wish but I let her have it with Finnian since it will be her last chance before he ages up.
When Mikezumi returned from her stroll, she helped Shannon finish the gardening. The boys played together - I love the way that kids playing with toybox toys are communicating even though it's not obvious because I have turned off thought bubbles.
Shannon also got a last stroll with Finnian
Mikezumi has a wish to cook x amount of perfect meals locked in so I had her prepare more pancakes while Shannon was on his stroll. I should have put fruit in her inventory because she chose watermelon (which I hate) and they don't have many because watermelons are a low yield plant.
They celebrated Finnian's birthday when Shannon returned.
Mikezumi was showing what I was feeling at the time. I was muttering under my breath about how slow age ups are
I am wondering what I have added to my game recently because I have never seen that top before.
There's my Finnian! I know his hairstyle is anachronistic but he's my Finnian and this is my game
Note to self: Place small table in dining area for birthdays I was a little peeved that Mikezumi took the birthday cake into the kitchen after serving it because elders walk slowly and I didn't want her eating on her own
It worked out okay because Finnian is quite the talker and hadn't started eating when she returned
Mikezumi and Shannon have already lost the animated speech but Finnian was beautifully animated while chatting with his parents
Shannon took Moss for a stroll after cake
Finnian, being artistic, found the easel and started painting
I knew Finnian was Shannon's favourite because he went straight to him after his stroll!
Mikezumi rolled a wish to snuggle Moss while Finnian was aging up. She probably didn't want him to feel left out
When I checked on Shannon and Finnian they were playing tag in the yard.
I sent Finnian fishing because all my sims fish!
Shannon went straight to Mikezumi when I stopped the game of tag to send Finnian fishing
Shannon always chooses the shower! I should put a shower downstairs to spare them the hike upstairs!
I wanted Shannon out of the way while Mikezumi prepared food for Moss. I didn't want him giving Moss generic baby food or removing him from the highchair.
I checked on Finnian who looked unhappy even though he already had several fishing wishes under his belt
Mikezumi must have gone to Shannon while Moss was eating
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars before they attended a party thrown by Grumpo Marks.
Finnian went ahead of his parents because they had to get Moss ready.
I quite like the looks of Grumpo!
When Mikezumi, Shannon and Moss arrived, Mikezumi prepared a cheese plate.
Grumpo, who is childish, had been playing tag with Finnian but they must have been taking a breather when I checked on them.
Dyno and Sharpo arrived together.
After Shannon had introduced himself to Sharpo, Mikezumi did the same.
Shannon went outside to introduce himself to Glummo.
Dyno, Grumpo and Finnian were in a group chat when I checked on Finnian
Good Lord! I can't believe there is someone in my town who is dressed like this! I never use skimpy clothing and I can't imagine many women of that era dressed like that unless they were of a certain type. I'm pretty sure this is her career outfit so perhaps she moonlights? It was getting late and the kids had to sleep so I sent the family home without introducing themselves to Louise Houveir.
Shannon got Moss up and ready for the day
It's Saturday morning so Finnian doesn't have to worry about school for a couple more days
Finnian had a wish to level up in painting locked in from the previous day. I don't think I have seen this painting before.
Shannon had a wish to tickle Moss and a wish to go for a stroll.
Since Mikezumi was so keen to cook with watermelons I had her prepare some Eggs Machiavellian.
When Shannon got back from his stroll, he and Mikezumi did the gardening.
Moss played on the block table while his parents gardened.
I got a popup that Finnian had finished his painting. I have no idea what the painting is of!
Finnian rolled a wish to catch a bug
Shannon had a wish to prepare a meal.
Mikezumi had a wish to play a game with Finnian. I did give the boys balls but there is no way I am giving Mikezumi one!
Moss being totally adorable He will be aging up the next time I play.
When Finnian's peg box logic skill was unhidden he rolled a few potion wishes.
Shannon rolled wishes to purchase a costume chest and toy oven the previous day. As soon as I bought the costume chest, Finnian rolled a wish to dress up
I bought a shower for the downstairs bathroom and Shannon and Mikezumi christened it
Mikezumi looked like the cat that got the cream when she came out of the bathroom to take Moss for a stroll
Finnian sought out Shannon when he was done playing dress up
Finnian discovered the ball in his inventory
The family went to the beach for the afternoon.
Shannon went straight for the water.
The water was beautifully clear!
Moss didn't want to get off the spring rider!
Mikezumi rolled a wish to meet someone new so I had her introduce herself to Norma Davidson.
Finnian went to the water as Carolyn Morgan arrived.
Mikezumi chatted with Norma until they were friends
Not quite sure what Norma was showing off but Mikezumi was impressed
Finnian didn't swim for long and I saw him heading for a beach chair. Moss was heading for the dollhouse that I had placed before the family arrived.
When Carolyn came over I had Finnian introduce himself.
Mikezumi kept trying to get to the water but I wouldn't let her because she would have to leave the lot and Moss can't be left on his own.
I kept making her relax but she kept getting up to swim. I got frustrated and made her nap instead
Shannon stayed in the water the whole time the family were at the beach.
I got the family home in time for dinner
The kids played while Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars
When Moss maxed his peg box skills, I had him join Finnian at the block table
I went looking for Mikezumi and Shannon and they were watching the stars again
Mikezumi got Moss up and ready for his last morning as toddler
The family enjoyed crepes for Sunday breakfast
Shannon's waking wish was to catch a great fish
Over breakfast, Mikezumi rolled a wish to play a game with Finnian. Finnian rolled one to chat with Mikezumi. When he got that wish, he rolled another to play a game of catch with her
When Shannon got his fish, he took Moss for a stroll
Mikezumi's waking wish was also to catch a great fish
When Mikezumi got her fish wish and Shannon got back from his stroll, they did the gardening together.
Good thing that collisions don't put paid to the gardening
Finnian's latest painting
I saw the dollhouse in Finnian's queue and was happy because I knew that Moss was playing with the dollhouse. Unfortunately, Finnian went all the way upstairs to play with one on his own.
When Shannon finished gardening, he went upstairs to chat with his favourite
Mikezumi took Moss for his last stroll
I had the family gather for Moss's birthday.
Because Moss is so fair I thought he was bald!
Much better!
Mikezumi looked pleased with Moss's makeover
I forgot to place a small table for the cake!
I sent the family to The Boardwalk for the afternoon
Mikezumi took Moss on the small ride.
Shannon took Finnian on the big one!
Mikezumi seems to roll more Moss wishes than Shannon but she also rolls many for Finnian so she must not have a favourite. I thought it interesting that Shannon rolled a wish to enrol Moss in military school whereas he didn't roll any boarding school wishes for Finnian!
Mikezumi and Shannon met up after their rides
Moss asked Finnian for a game of catch.
It took a while to meet up because they had to go outside the building.
I only watched the boys play catch for a few minutes!
Mikezumi and Shannon met Ainsley Andrews.
Mikezumi trusts her man and was quite happy to got off to read while Shannon chatted with Ainsley
When Ainsley went to play a game, Shannon went straight back to Mikezumi
I sent the boys home because Moss had a wish to learn the fishing skill and it was nearly sunset. Mikezumi and Shannon stayed at The Boardwalk a little longer for a rollercoaster ride
Finnian didn't have a fishing wish but I had him keep Moss company because he has a wish to become best friends with him locked in.
Finnian caught his first goldfish
Moss caught his first minnow
Mikezumi instigated woohoo when they got home and I noticed she didn't choose the shower. That must be Shannon's favourite.
The family had a late supper of cookies because they were not very hungry after the birthday cake.
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars before going to bed
Finnian and Moss had a game of catch before they went to bed
The family enjoyed pancakes for breakfast
Finnian has already lost his animated speech but Moss delighted me by chatting animatedly with Mikezumi
Moss's waking wish was to give someone a friendly hug. Finnian has a wish to become best friends with Moss so Finnian got the hug.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to play a game with Shannon.
Finnian's waking wish was to play tag with Moss
While they were playing Finnian got his wish
Mikezumi had a wish to catch a 10kg fish locked in from the previous day. I sent her fishing with bell peppers. She caught a goldfish first which triggered a wish to prepare a meal using goldfish. Her next fish was a siamese catfish which was well over 10kg.
Shannon has a wish to level up in cooking locked in so I had him prepare some pancakes to replace what they had eaten.
The bus stopped a long way from the house. The boys were probably puffed by the time they got on
After Shannon finished making pancakes and Mikezumi got her fish wish, they did the gardening.
I had Mikezumi collect the mail. Here are the boys' IFs. I looked at the Debug Enabler options but couldn't see anything that would help me get rid of them. One of the options was to move them to the family inventory so that will have to do for now.
I sent Shannon to the Bistro to deliver produce for a gardening opportunity. While he was out Mikezumi cooked her goldfish.
Shannon can now plant eggs and cheese
When Shannon got home I tried to have him plant cheese and eggs but he couldn't do it because of the uneven terrain. I had him plant them on a flat surface and then used MOO to put them in the garden.
Farm life is busy but Mikezumi and Shannon found some time for loving
I know Shannon instigated this!
When Mikezumi and Shannon were sated, Mikezumi pulled out a book.
Shannon went out to use the tractor. The tractor must have a high fun factor because the gardening had already been done!
When Mikezumi finished her book she sought out Shannon for a flirtatious joke
When Shannon tried to go back to the tractor I had Mikezumi serve some tea.
I was happy to see them chatting animatedly while drinking tea
"Where are you going, honey?"
The kids got home late because of Scouts.
Shannon didn't get far in the tractor because Mikezumi wasn't done with him!
I had them watch the Cooking Channel. Shannon is getting close to getting his wish to level up
Mikezumi and Finnian were thrilled with their fish and chips dinner
Finnian came home from school with a wish to paint.
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars
I had Moss play chess to unhide the logic skills acquired from the peg box which triggered wishes to make potions.
So far there has been no wall-watching in this save
Moss has a wish to become friends with a girl from school. I had him call her to help with their relationship.
The family watched TV until bedtime
The family enjoyed Eggs Machiavellian for breakfast.
Moss: "I know you wanted to send me to military school!"
While he slept, Finnian rolled a wish to use the costume chest. When he changed outfit it triggered a wish to play in costume. I sent him downstairs so he wouldn't have so far to go when the school bus came.
Moss had a wish to play catch with Mikezumi locked in from the previous day.
Shannon finally leveled up in cooking while preparing waffles.
Too cute!
Mikezumi saw her boys off Nah! her waking wish was to find a seed and there was one in the front yard
Shannon and Mikezumi got started on the gardening after the kids left for school.
Mikezumi rolled a wish to talk about gardening when she found the seed.
The boys had a field trip to Dr. Terrible's Science Building.
Oliver Harbucks was chaperone. Shirley Templeton was sitting beside him.
Back at home, Mikezumi and Shannon played chess because Shannon's waking wish was to play a game with Mikezumi
Mikezumi: "If we roll enough wishes to play games with each other, she's bound to relent and give us balls!"
I got back to the kids as they got off the bus. Goneril Capp was also there.
I saw Shannon heading off to water a plant by hand so I put him on the tractor and had him do another round of watering. Mikezumi read a book outdoors. She was rereading a book from her inventory even though I had recently bought a bunch of new books for her
Shannon came over for a kiss when he finished the watering. Mikezumi was so excited she put her head through his shoulder
Shannon surprised me by choosing the bed this time!
I made sure both of the boys got on the bus after the field trip because it was a long way from home!
The boys got home early and I had something special planned for them
Moss came home with a wish to do his homework and Finnian with a wish to find a rock.
I found Mikezumi asking Shannon about his Alma Mater
I was glad they were beside the tractor because my surprise for the boys was a hayride
Not quite sure what could be so scary about a hayride!
Then Mikezumi did it too! LOL
I knew it would only be a matter of time before Finnian did it too!
When the boys saw Shannon and Mikezumi they rolled wishes to play games with them
The family had dim sum for dinner. Remember Mikezumi's goldfish wish?
Finnian was close to mastering the block table but Moss had yet to start so I had the boys play together.
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars after dinner
When Finnian mastered the block table he got his wish to find a rock
He worked on his painting when he got home.
Shannon was true to form this time
Mikezumi is still working towards her wish to prepare 10 perfect meals.
The family watched TV before bed
*ouch*
The boys looked sleepy so I sent them to bed
Comments
Day 1
Shannon and Mikezumi arrived in Roaring Heights (for the second time but this is the only one that counts ). It's a good thing that Mikezumi is thinking about gardening because she will have a lot of that ahead of her
Only a few of the plants at the community garden were ready for harvesting and I didn't want herbs and a few of the other plants so Mikezumi and Shannon were able to harvest what was available quickly (it doesn't hurt that I maxed their gardening skills in my earlier set-up session).
There are a lot of plants on the farm but they will be replaced with perfect ones as they become available. I gave Mikezumi one of the perfect apples harvested at the community garden so she could prepare pancakes.
Shannon had a wish to learn the logic skill so I sent him to play chess while Mikezumi cooked.
Because they are both highly skilled the wishes were rolling in! Shannon, however, did not have the cooking skill because I had planned on Mikezumi doing all the cooking but I wasn't surprised he rolled a wish to learn cooking after harvesting plants.
Although I didn't give Shannon cooking skills, I did give him the hidden child oven cooking skills so he leveled up to 3 as soon as he opened the cooking book. His first wish on learning the cooking skill was to learn a fish recipe. I gave him the recipe for fish and chips and it triggered a wish to cook a meal using freshly caught fish.
After preparing a couple of dishes for the fridge, Mikezumi joined Shannon at the fish pond.
Shannon caught several large fish while Mikezumi only managed to catch an anchovy.

Day 1 (cont.)
Because I had kept them busy setting up for their new life in Roaring Heights, I sent Shannon inside to kiss his wife. In my Monte Vista save they got on beautifully and I didn't have to intervene and I wanted to see if the chemistry existed in this save. I let them go after the initial kiss and they happily flirted with each other
After a few flirts, Mikezumi tried telling a ghost story. I quickly tuned ghost stories out but the mood was broken and Shannon autonomously got on the tractor and fertilized the garden.
Mikezumi had a negative moodlet while watching the TV and I realized it was because they had a cheap TV.
I went into buy mode and couldn't find a good quality TV that didn't look too modern so I settled on this one. It didn't have all the channels but at least no bad moodlets. I got Mikezumi started on a channel upgrade.
Although I didn't take a pic, Shannon cooked fish and chips using one of the fish he caught earlier. It triggered a wish to level up in cooking so I had him use the canning station to improve his cooking skill.
Mikezumi was very happy when they had Shannon's fish and chips for dinner
They watched the stars after dinner
As cute as they are, I think they will be adopting some children in the near future

Day 2
Since Shannon prepared Mikezumi's favourite, fish and chips, the previous evening, it's only right that Mikezumi prepared Shannon's favourite, pancakes
My SS talks too much like me!
But that's okay because Shannon is also a talker The reason I took those pics is because my sims only talk animatedly when a save is fresh or when they have just been added to a new household.
After eating fish and chips the previous evening, Mikezumi rolled a wish to prepare perfect fish and chips. She used the anchovy she caught the previous day and got her wish
There are a lot of plants in the yard and the tractors make fast work of it but it takes several sweeps with the tractor to get everything. Fortunately it fills the fun bar and would definitely be a lot faster than gardening by hand.
While Shannon tended the garden, Mikezumi visited the community garden to harvest eggs, cheese, steak and patties. When she was done I let her have her waking wish to catch an excellent fish
Watch out Mikezumi!
"Hi honey! You just ran me over but I'll be fine!"
Shannon also had a fishing waking wish
Mikezumi called Adoption Services
I went into map view and saw the Child Services sim approaching the house and got a popup asking what I wanted to adopt but as soon as I input my requirements the game crashed Fortunately I had saved just before the adoption call was made. When the save reloaded I used MC to adopt a little boy This is what arrived
There is no way on God's green earth that this sim would be allowed to live in my household!
I'd already planned Mikezumi and Shannon's future child and did a quick body swap in CAS Welcome Finnian
Wishes for Finnian were rolled and instantly filled

Day 2 (cont.)
Mikezumi, being family oriented, started on teaching Finnian how to talk because she can do it in record time
Shannon went into town to register as a self-employed gardener
Back at home, Mikezumi was making progress with the talking lesson
You'll scare Finnian with that face, Mikezumi!
By the time Shannon got home, Finnian could talk and he got the first chat
Shannon rolled a wish to potty train Finnian so I had him get started.
Mikezumi and Shannon hadn't had any alone time since breakfast so I had Finnian work on his peg box skills.
They are so cute together and needed no prompting from me once released from their chores
I saw woohoo in Shannon's queue so followed them upstairs and discovered they had chosen the shower
Shannon must have enjoyed himself because he immediately rolled a wish to woohoo with Mikezumi
Shannon didn't get his wish straight away because it was time to eat.
Mikezumi pureed some fish and chips for Finnian too. They are also his favourite meal
I don't like what happens with dresses when sims sit but I didn't mind having to get close because Mikezumi makes the cutest faces!

Day 3
Although I had decided that Shannon would be the one to get Finnian up and ready for the day (he had the most wishes), Finnian was the first thing Mikezumi looked at
I think Mikezumi and Shannon are enjoying their late life family
They enjoyed Shannon's favourite for breakfast
Mikezumi's waking wish was to tickle Finnian. She also rolled a wish to potty train him.
She didn't enjoy this part of it
Since two tractors are needed to cover the whole farm, Mikezumi helped Shannon out
Because it takes a few sweeps with the tractors (watering, fertilizing and harvesting are done separately), Mikezumi left Shannon to it while she taught Finnian how to walk I am playing a longer lifespan in this game so there is no great rush to train Finnian but Mikezumi rolled a wish to do it and I am all about the wishes

Day 3 (cont.)
Shannon had a wish to level up in cooking locked in so I had him prepare more pancakes. He autonomously cleaned the counter when he was done
Mikezumi showed Shannon her gratitude
I was watching Finnian when I heard Mikezumi squeal. I don't think I have seen her do this before!
Shannon chose the shower again. He must have been feeling a little dirty after all that gardening
Mikezumi has a wish to prepare 5 perfect meals locked in so I had her prepare some burgers.
While Mikezumi cooked, I had Shannon keep Finnian company
I checked the commmunity garden and found that there were a lot of plants ready for harvesting so I sent the family. Finnian played with his teddy while Mikezumi and Shannon harvested.
I thought it was lovely that Shannon kept looking over at Finnian
The family had fish and chips for dinner again. There are 10 servings in a group meal but they will have more variety now that there is another mouth to feed and they have more perfect produce
Shannon rolled the first stroller wish! I was surprised he went through the garden rather than through the front gate.
I didn't let them go far because it was dark and they don't have neighbours.
Mikezumi prepared some lime marmalade while Shannon and Finnian were on their stroll
They watched the stars when Shannon got home
Mikezumi played with Finnian until he maxed the xylophone then tucked him in for the night

Day 4
Shannon and Mikezumi must be finding parenthood tiring
Mikezumi got Finnian up and ready for the day while Shannon made the bed
Shannon didn't complain about having pancakes again
Mikezumi's waking wish was to kiss Shannon so I got that out of the way before sending them out to garden.
I took aerial shots of the farm to give an idea of how many plants the tractors are dealing with. This shot shows most of the apple trees but there are a few more in the backyard. I believe Shannon harvested just over 200 apples this morning.
There are also bell peppers, garlic, potatoes, tomatoes, watermelons and onions in the garden.
There are more on this side of the house but the view is obscured by the tractor's harvesting effects.
I saw Mikezumi and Shannon approaching the same corner and wanted to see if they would crash
But they just missed ... that's what I call perfect timing!
When Shannon was done he autonomously went inside to play with Finnian The gardening took less than 2 sim hours and they sold over §2,600 worth of produce.
I imagine this amount will be more than tripled when the plants are replaced with perfect ones!
Both Shannon and Mikezumi had wishes to use the stroller. Shannon went first since he was already playing with Finnian
When I checked on Shannon a little later I found him carrying Finnian so I sent him home.
When I realized Finnian would be on his own while the gardening was being done, I bought him a dollhouse.
Mikezumi rolled a wish to play a game with Shannon. There was no way I was going to buy her a ball!
Shannon's waking wish was to buy a new recipe so I sent him to the bookstore where he met Dyno Marks.
Mikezumi got her stroll while Shannon was at the bookstore.
When Mikezumi got home I had them adopt another toddler. This is what arrived.
He's far from pudding but definitely not my cup of tea!

Day 4 (cont.)
This is Moss after his body swap in CAS I had meant to use another sim but couldn't find him in the bin. I checked my files later and he was there but it was a small file size so I suspect I may have moved (from my pre-Australia sim files) his toddler file instead of his YA one.
The door was open on the previous shot because Shannon had just come home and was autonomously about to teach Moss how to walk
The kids played while Mikezumi and Shannon tested the safety of the new treehouse
Before they could woohoo again I sent them inside for dinner.
They watched the stars after dinner
Mikezumi made some blueberry jam while Shannon got started on potty training Moss
Shannon enjoys emptying the potty as much as Mikezumi does
Mikezumi got Finnian ready for bed and Shannon did the same for Moss after he emptied the potty.

Day 5
Shannon got Moss up and ready for the day
Mikezumi did the same for Finnian
Shannon didn't get his favourite but he must have liked the French toast because he rolled a wish to learn the recipe. Needless to say I didn't lock in that wish because it would take him forever to reach level 9 in cooking!
Mikezumi harvested while Shannon watered.
Moss continued with his peg box skills while Finnian did what he wanted since he has mastered his skills.
Once again I saw Mikezumi and Shannon approaching the corner at the same time. The nose of Mikezumi's tractor did pass through the water tanks on the back of Shannon's tractor but it wasn't that obvious.
Mikezumi had a wish to attack Moss with the Claw. When she got her wish she rolled the same for Finnian
Mikezumi finished off Moss' potty training
When the potty training was done, Mikezumi went outside and helped Shannon finish off the gardening. They finished at the same time and I was happy to see Shannon go straight to Mikezumi for a flirt
Mikezumi got her wish to attack Finnian with the Claw
Mikezumi, being family oriented, got the job of teaching Moss how to talk because she can do it much faster than Shannon.

Day 5 (cont.)
I had Shannon read one of the recipes he bought recently.
Mikezumi continued with the talking lesson
While the family were busy, I placed The Boardwalk on the beach When Moss had learned how to talk I sent the family for a little fun
I also gave Mikezumi and Shannon "You're not on the farm now!" second everyday outfits
There are spring riders at the base of the roller coaster and Finnian and Moss got a ride
Moss got off willingly but Finnian put up a fight
I put a block table near the spring riders and I couldn't believe my eyes when Mikezumi and Shannon pulled out strollers for such a short distance.
Now that Moss can talk the kids can improve their relationship by playing together
Mikezumi and Shannon went to the nearby small track for a quick ride so the kids wouldn't be on their own too long.

Day 5 (cont.)
The toddlers were happily getting to know each other so I didn't rush Mikezumi and Shannon back to them
When they were done, I had them collect Moss and Finnian so they could go home.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to watch the Cooking Channel. I couldn't think what was wrong with these pics but realized it was that Mikezumi was in the armchair and, in my mind, that is usually dad's place
Don't tell the neighbours that I cheated! The cheap set doesn't have the Cooking Channel
Finnian must be Shannon's favourite because he is constantly rolling wishes for him!
I saw Shannon heading to the tractor. I don't know why he did because the gardening was done but I let him go.
Mikezumi was busy anyway because she was baking a birthday cake for Finnian who would be aging up the next day.
When I checked on Shannon he had finished with the watering and was fertilizing.
I had Shannon come in to help feed the toddlers before they sat down to dinner.
Mikezumi and Shannon took the kids for a stroll after dinner
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars together when they got home
While the kids played ...
Mikezumi and Shannon had some fun of their own

Day 6
Shannon and Mikezumi got the toddlers up and ready for the day. It's Finnian's last morning as a toddler
Shannon was happy to see pancakes on the table
They both had the same waking wish - to play a game with the other
Mikezumi also had a couple of Moss wishes which hadn't been fulfilled because she got Finnian up.
Shannon got started on the gardening. I was kinda hoping he would run over the mail carrier because I am angry at her for delivering two IFs. I won't be collecting any mail until both the kids age up! It would seem that, although it is possible to tune the chance of getting an IF at birth, that there isn't the same option for adoption (Unless it's not obvious)
Mikezumi rolled a couple of Finnian wishes while playing with Moss
She had a general stroller wish but I let her have it with Finnian since it will be her last chance before he ages up.
When Mikezumi returned from her stroll, she helped Shannon finish the gardening. The boys played together - I love the way that kids playing with toybox toys are communicating even though it's not obvious because I have turned off thought bubbles.
Shannon also got a last stroll with Finnian
Mikezumi has a wish to cook x amount of perfect meals locked in so I had her prepare more pancakes while Shannon was on his stroll. I should have put fruit in her inventory because she chose watermelon (which I hate) and they don't have many because watermelons are a low yield plant.
They celebrated Finnian's birthday when Shannon returned.
Mikezumi was showing what I was feeling at the time. I was muttering under my breath about how slow age ups are
I am wondering what I have added to my game recently because I have never seen that top before.
There's my Finnian! I know his hairstyle is anachronistic but he's my Finnian and this is my game

Day 6 (cont.)
Note to self: Place small table in dining area for birthdays I was a little peeved that Mikezumi took the birthday cake into the kitchen after serving it because elders walk slowly and I didn't want her eating on her own
It worked out okay because Finnian is quite the talker and hadn't started eating when she returned
Mikezumi and Shannon have already lost the animated speech but Finnian was beautifully animated while chatting with his parents
Shannon took Moss for a stroll after cake
Finnian, being artistic, found the easel and started painting
I knew Finnian was Shannon's favourite because he went straight to him after his stroll!
Mikezumi rolled a wish to snuggle Moss while Finnian was aging up. She probably didn't want him to feel left out
When I checked on Shannon and Finnian they were playing tag in the yard.
I sent Finnian fishing because all my sims fish!
Shannon went straight to Mikezumi when I stopped the game of tag to send Finnian fishing
Shannon always chooses the shower! I should put a shower downstairs to spare them the hike upstairs!
I wanted Shannon out of the way while Mikezumi prepared food for Moss. I didn't want him giving Moss generic baby food or removing him from the highchair.
I checked on Finnian who looked unhappy even though he already had several fishing wishes under his belt

Day 6 (cont.)
Mikezumi must have gone to Shannon while Moss was eating
Shannon and Mikezumi watched the stars before they attended a party thrown by Grumpo Marks.
Finnian went ahead of his parents because they had to get Moss ready.
I quite like the looks of Grumpo!
When Mikezumi, Shannon and Moss arrived, Mikezumi prepared a cheese plate.
Grumpo, who is childish, had been playing tag with Finnian but they must have been taking a breather when I checked on them.
Dyno and Sharpo arrived together.
After Shannon had introduced himself to Sharpo, Mikezumi did the same.
Shannon went outside to introduce himself to Glummo.
Dyno, Grumpo and Finnian were in a group chat when I checked on Finnian
Good Lord! I can't believe there is someone in my town who is dressed like this! I never use skimpy clothing and I can't imagine many women of that era dressed like that unless they were of a certain type. I'm pretty sure this is her career outfit so perhaps she moonlights? It was getting late and the kids had to sleep so I sent the family home without introducing themselves to Louise Houveir.

Day 7
Shannon got Moss up and ready for the day
It's Saturday morning so Finnian doesn't have to worry about school for a couple more days
Finnian had a wish to level up in painting locked in from the previous day. I don't think I have seen this painting before.
Shannon had a wish to tickle Moss and a wish to go for a stroll.
Since Mikezumi was so keen to cook with watermelons I had her prepare some Eggs Machiavellian.
When Shannon got back from his stroll, he and Mikezumi did the gardening.
Moss played on the block table while his parents gardened.
I got a popup that Finnian had finished his painting. I have no idea what the painting is of!
Finnian rolled a wish to catch a bug
Shannon had a wish to prepare a meal.
Mikezumi had a wish to play a game with Finnian. I did give the boys balls but there is no way I am giving Mikezumi one!
Moss being totally adorable He will be aging up the next time I play.
When Finnian's peg box logic skill was unhidden he rolled a few potion wishes.

Day 7 (cont.)
Shannon rolled wishes to purchase a costume chest and toy oven the previous day. As soon as I bought the costume chest, Finnian rolled a wish to dress up
I bought a shower for the downstairs bathroom and Shannon and Mikezumi christened it
Mikezumi looked like the cat that got the cream when she came out of the bathroom to take Moss for a stroll
Finnian sought out Shannon when he was done playing dress up
Finnian discovered the ball in his inventory
The family went to the beach for the afternoon.
Shannon went straight for the water.
The water was beautifully clear!
Moss didn't want to get off the spring rider!
Mikezumi rolled a wish to meet someone new so I had her introduce herself to Norma Davidson.

Day 7 (cont.)
Finnian went to the water as Carolyn Morgan arrived.
Mikezumi chatted with Norma until they were friends
Not quite sure what Norma was showing off but Mikezumi was impressed
Finnian didn't swim for long and I saw him heading for a beach chair. Moss was heading for the dollhouse that I had placed before the family arrived.
When Carolyn came over I had Finnian introduce himself.
Mikezumi kept trying to get to the water but I wouldn't let her because she would have to leave the lot and Moss can't be left on his own.
I kept making her relax but she kept getting up to swim. I got frustrated and made her nap instead
Shannon stayed in the water the whole time the family were at the beach.
I got the family home in time for dinner
The kids played while Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars
When Moss maxed his peg box skills, I had him join Finnian at the block table
I went looking for Mikezumi and Shannon and they were watching the stars again

Day 8
Mikezumi got Moss up and ready for his last morning as toddler
The family enjoyed crepes for Sunday breakfast
Shannon's waking wish was to catch a great fish
Over breakfast, Mikezumi rolled a wish to play a game with Finnian. Finnian rolled one to chat with Mikezumi. When he got that wish, he rolled another to play a game of catch with her
When Shannon got his fish, he took Moss for a stroll
Mikezumi's waking wish was also to catch a great fish
When Mikezumi got her fish wish and Shannon got back from his stroll, they did the gardening together.
Good thing that collisions don't put paid to the gardening
Finnian's latest painting
I saw the dollhouse in Finnian's queue and was happy because I knew that Moss was playing with the dollhouse. Unfortunately, Finnian went all the way upstairs to play with one on his own.
When Shannon finished gardening, he went upstairs to chat with his favourite
Mikezumi took Moss for his last stroll
I had the family gather for Moss's birthday.
Because Moss is so fair I thought he was bald!
Much better!

Day 8 (cont.)
Mikezumi looked pleased with Moss's makeover
I forgot to place a small table for the cake!
I sent the family to The Boardwalk for the afternoon
Mikezumi took Moss on the small ride.
Shannon took Finnian on the big one!
Mikezumi seems to roll more Moss wishes than Shannon but she also rolls many for Finnian so she must not have a favourite. I thought it interesting that Shannon rolled a wish to enrol Moss in military school whereas he didn't roll any boarding school wishes for Finnian!
Mikezumi and Shannon met up after their rides
Moss asked Finnian for a game of catch.
It took a while to meet up because they had to go outside the building.

Day 8 (cont.)
I only watched the boys play catch for a few minutes!
Mikezumi and Shannon met Ainsley Andrews.
Mikezumi trusts her man and was quite happy to got off to read while Shannon chatted with Ainsley
When Ainsley went to play a game, Shannon went straight back to Mikezumi
I sent the boys home because Moss had a wish to learn the fishing skill and it was nearly sunset. Mikezumi and Shannon stayed at The Boardwalk a little longer for a rollercoaster ride
Finnian didn't have a fishing wish but I had him keep Moss company because he has a wish to become best friends with him locked in.
Finnian caught his first goldfish
Moss caught his first minnow
Mikezumi instigated woohoo when they got home and I noticed she didn't choose the shower. That must be Shannon's favourite.
The family had a late supper of cookies because they were not very hungry after the birthday cake.
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars before going to bed
Finnian and Moss had a game of catch before they went to bed

Day 9
The family enjoyed pancakes for breakfast
Finnian has already lost his animated speech but Moss delighted me by chatting animatedly with Mikezumi
Moss's waking wish was to give someone a friendly hug. Finnian has a wish to become best friends with Moss so Finnian got the hug.
Mikezumi's waking wish was to play a game with Shannon.
Finnian's waking wish was to play tag with Moss
While they were playing Finnian got his wish
Mikezumi had a wish to catch a 10kg fish locked in from the previous day. I sent her fishing with bell peppers. She caught a goldfish first which triggered a wish to prepare a meal using goldfish. Her next fish was a siamese catfish which was well over 10kg.
Shannon has a wish to level up in cooking locked in so I had him prepare some pancakes to replace what they had eaten.
The bus stopped a long way from the house. The boys were probably puffed by the time they got on
After Shannon finished making pancakes and Mikezumi got her fish wish, they did the gardening.
I had Mikezumi collect the mail. Here are the boys' IFs. I looked at the Debug Enabler options but couldn't see anything that would help me get rid of them. One of the options was to move them to the family inventory so that will have to do for now.
I sent Shannon to the Bistro to deliver produce for a gardening opportunity. While he was out Mikezumi cooked her goldfish.
Shannon can now plant eggs and cheese
When Shannon got home I tried to have him plant cheese and eggs but he couldn't do it because of the uneven terrain. I had him plant them on a flat surface and then used MOO to put them in the garden.
Farm life is busy but Mikezumi and Shannon found some time for loving
I know Shannon instigated this!

Day 9 (cont.)
When Mikezumi and Shannon were sated, Mikezumi pulled out a book.
Shannon went out to use the tractor. The tractor must have a high fun factor because the gardening had already been done!
When Mikezumi finished her book she sought out Shannon for a flirtatious joke
When Shannon tried to go back to the tractor I had Mikezumi serve some tea.
I was happy to see them chatting animatedly while drinking tea
"Where are you going, honey?"
The kids got home late because of Scouts.
Shannon didn't get far in the tractor because Mikezumi wasn't done with him!
I had them watch the Cooking Channel. Shannon is getting close to getting his wish to level up
Mikezumi and Finnian were thrilled with their fish and chips dinner
Finnian came home from school with a wish to paint.
Mikezumi and Shannon watched the stars
I had Moss play chess to unhide the logic skills acquired from the peg box which triggered wishes to make potions.
So far there has been no wall-watching in this save
Moss has a wish to become friends with a girl from school. I had him call her to help with their relationship.
The family watched TV until bedtime

Day 10
The family enjoyed Eggs Machiavellian for breakfast.
Moss: "I know you wanted to send me to military school!"
While he slept, Finnian rolled a wish to use the costume chest. When he changed outfit it triggered a wish to play in costume. I sent him downstairs so he wouldn't have so far to go when the school bus came.
Moss had a wish to play catch with Mikezumi locked in from the previous day.
Shannon finally leveled up in cooking while preparing waffles.
Too cute!
Mikezumi saw her boys off Nah! her waking wish was to find a seed and there was one in the front yard
Shannon and Mikezumi got started on the gardening after the kids left for school.
Mikezumi rolled a wish to talk about gardening when she found the seed.
The boys had a field trip to Dr. Terrible's Science Building.
Oliver Harbucks was chaperone. Shirley Templeton was sitting beside him.
Back at home, Mikezumi and Shannon played chess because Shannon's waking wish was to play a game with Mikezumi
Mikezumi: "If we roll enough wishes to play games with each other, she's bound to relent and give us balls!"
I got back to the kids as they got off the bus. Goneril Capp was also there.

Day 10 (cont.)
I saw Shannon heading off to water a plant by hand so I put him on the tractor and had him do another round of watering. Mikezumi read a book outdoors. She was rereading a book from her inventory even though I had recently bought a bunch of new books for her
Shannon came over for a kiss when he finished the watering. Mikezumi was so excited she put her head through his shoulder
Shannon surprised me by choosing the bed this time!
I made sure both of the boys got on the bus after the field trip because it was a long way from home!
The boys got home early and I had something special planned for them
Moss came home with a wish to do his homework and Finnian with a wish to find a rock.
I found Mikezumi asking Shannon about his Alma Mater
I was glad they were beside the tractor because my surprise for the boys was a hayride
Not quite sure what could be so scary about a hayride!
Then Mikezumi did it too! LOL
I knew it would only be a matter of time before Finnian did it too!
