The New Willow Bay - Year 2 Spring 2 (Part 2)


Welcome back to the New Willow Bay.  It's another three days off for me so it's time to work toward an update.





Giovanni makes for a great big brother when it comes to Anne Marie.


Such a precious little clone.



Nothing says Build a City Challenge like all your teenage sims hooking up just in case their birthdays line up.  In the case of Giovanni Fancey & Charlotte Stratton, they do.





After a couple days, it was time to send Giovanni off to college.  He'll be revisited later in the round to balance his age.



Anne Marie is just precious.


Ivette: So, am I going to be featured in this update or...?


DOUBLE BIRTHDAY TIME!


Anne Marie.



And Melissa joins the ranks of the Willow Bay seniors.  She won't be quitting her job because I don't have any replacement for the business tycoons just yet.


Anne Marie gets a classic sims 2 makeover to differentiate her from Ivette.





So spring turns to summer in the Fancey household.  Before I move on to the Borg household, let's see how the first few college kids are doing:




Kyle Deppiesse & Giovanni Fancey will be in the same dorm for the time being while Julian Sim is kept separate.  Charlotte and Diana Stratton will join the same dorm as Kyle and Giovanni when it's time.


Trust me when I say the Borg family had a more interesting round than the Fancey family.



First, there was Xavier's birthday.





Followed by Prometheus' birthday- he is a Pleasure/Popularity sim who wants to be a General.

Seriously.

He grew up in those clothes and wants to be a General.


Chloe then bought another business to add to her collection.


This is the Pond in the Woods.  It will be the site of a community garden as well as where sims earn their fishing badges if they want to get into oceanography.



At $990 an hour, this place is essentially another university upgrade extortion gig.


I'm thinking that Prometheus will be a plant sim in the future.  Don't know why.


Vamsi: So has anyone actually used that stadium yet?


Of course, earning stars for a business requires a few fun things lying around.  Gotta respect the hustle, man.


Prometheus is cursed by fire.



God damnit.


Please don't brain damage by grandchild, Eleanor.

Ellie: LOL


I left the business at level 5 so I could make sure I didn't lose any progress to Windows 10's love for crashing my game.




Xavier: I popular.



As soon as Xavier became a child, I knew it was time to head back to the Pond in the Woods.







Of course, with multiple sims working the lot, that means I have the ability to sell some of the produce to get stars even faster.



By the way, this sim isn't named Brooke- her name is Brenda St. Julien.  Well, Brenda King now.  I might as well just rename her Brooke and see what happens.  Or name her kid Brooke.


Once I hit level 10, I tried to leave the lot and the game crashed.  So I did it all over again.  Either way, level 10.



So once the round was done, the Borgs donated $1,000,000 toward a university upgrade.  Hooray!


Over at the Stratton house, the focus was all on the cats.


Seriously.


Charlotte's lifetime want is going to kill me.



At least the cats are cute.


Anne Marie: Why does your house smell like pee?



Once two days of the round were complete, it was time to send the twins off to college to join the boys.



Lady and Prince both grow into adult cats.



Joining them are new siblings Queenie and Zephyr.  At least until it's time to give up the older two for adoption.





Of course, that would be at the end of the spring round.  Which it now is.  Christy Stratton is now living alone with her daughter, Erinn, and her cats.  Love my little crazy cat lady family.


The Diaz family will be the last family of the update.


I was hopeful that they would have more kids, but no.  Looks like I'm only getting an SM boost this update.



Benito grew up and rolled fortune/knowledge.  He wants 6 pets to reach the top of their careers.


I hate him.  Good thing a couple pets are available to adopt.




Lady and Prince are joining the Diaz family.


Both cats will be taking jobs in the service career because it is the only one I remembered whether or not I had unlocked.




Ximena's birthday!


Ximena's make-over.


Charlotte: These people are crazy.


This is the face of a man who won't reach his lifetime want until elderhood.



Once the twin cats got their first promotion, I adopted a female cat into this household named Heidi.  Yeah, there's going to be a bunch of cats roaming the neighbourhood.


Birthday time for Salome.


Of course there was a cat fight in the middle of a birthday...


So Salome rolled pleasure/knowledge and wants to be a celebrity chef.  Gotta love a good old fashioned mid-00s makeover in the sims.
