New Graphics Set, This Time For The Sims In Bloom Legacy By @a-sims-garden! I've Been Wanting To Do This

After her birthday, Faye decided it was time for a change, so she sold her restaurant and moved to Chestnut Ridge. upon her arrival, she was greeted by a stranger who was also her new neighbor. They hit it off very well.

After unpacking and settling in Faye tries her hand at nectar making. in the middle of the process, Hari asks Faye on a date, and they hit it off way better than I could've ever hoped!

I actually haven't played in Chestnut Ridge yet nor have I played with the expansion in general so this challenge is a good opportunity for me to finally play around with that! Also I rolled fruit popping boba for the kids and extra trait. save me please haha. Challenge

Hari and Faye both lost their parents, Hari lost her father and mother at the same time in an accident. Faye's mother had died of old age.

Frances, a good friend of Faye's, consoles her during this hard time. however, kindness turns into something else in Faye's time of grief.

And again...

The confrontation.

And finally, forgiveness...

Oh the DRAMA

The kids have been doing well in school and have been visiting and staying with both Faye and Hari.

So excited to start Gen 2! Thanks to everyone who's following along with the challenge! I'm happy you enjoy my simmies :3

The 7 Mysteries of Ocean Crest Academy

Sixth Mystery Prologue: Dudes with Dreams & Doubts

School clubs were closed for the week to help students prepare for more exams on Friday. Calvin used that extra time in the morning for his part-time job, completing some personal career goals.

With no club meeting that afternoon, he texted his buddy Cho, who was all for meeting up in their old neighborhood in the city.

The two got to catch up with news from their old school and new friends. Cho: "Girls at school begged to see the pics from you and Olivia at prom. The girls are super nice to me now, but the guys are SOOOO pissed off at you. But everyone could see CALIVIA coming."

Calvin: "I know you even asked her first, and we're bros, so this is going to sound weird. Feel free to smack me upside the head."

Cho: "Oh, crap. What did you do now?"

Calvin: "A while back, when I first got to Willow Creek, I met this woman named Zhuli. I was researching Mystery #1 in Mt. Komorebi, and was hanging out at a small park area near the bus stop, waiting for my ride home. She lives in a renovated apartment building on the lot. She saw a new face, then we were just hanging out, talking."

Cho: "Woman? You sly dog, you. How much older was she?"

Calvin: "A few years. She's a part-time university student with a couple part-time jobs. Cleaning services and I don't know the other."

Cho: "OK? So what about her? Did something happen lately?"

Calvin: "Last night I had a dream about her in a French maid uniform, and luring me into a closet for...you get the idea!! But I woke up from it before anything happened, and damned if I could get back to sleep after that! I had to go out on the porch for some fresh air first."

Cho: "Oh! So it wasn't the alarm clock that woke you? That's usually MY problem. What? Do you feel like you're cheating on Olivia?"

Calvin: "I have NO idea why Zhuli popped in my head, since I only saw her the one time. Am I freaking out over my new relationship??"

Cho: "Um...YEAH! [smacks Cal on the back of his head] It was just a dream, and you said yourself you woke up from it on your own. It means you're not letting temptation ruin your relationship."

Calvin: "Oh....I still feel guilty, like I should tell Liv about this."

Cho: "Don't let fantasy dreams get in the way of your real goals!! Do you need another smack on the head from me, Cal?"

Calvin: "NO! And your logic, it is wise, sensei. I probably need to focus on what's in front of me, and not get distracted. MORE exams are coming up this Friday. How are you doing with that, before I let us get sidetracked with talk about my stupid woo-hoo dreams?"

Cho: "Everyone is hitting me up for tutoring or being part of study groups. I'm Mr. Popularity at My-North now. Eh, it's what I dreamt about, but now I'm just trying to focus on scholarships for Academy Le Tour. And trying NOT to piss off the Goth Family, with Cassandra and I being maybe more than friends in college."

The two put aside their own doubts, so they could talk about normal stupid stuff that high school dudes do. They carried their closing conversation on their walk to the bus stop, as Cal headed home.

While Calvin was on the bus, he got a text from Cali.

"Hey, Cal. I stopped by your place on my way home from work, but you weren't home. I slipped something under your door about #6."

Calvin jogged home from the bus stop a little faster than usual. He already got some answers today from his bro Cho, and now it was time for him to find some answers on his own.

I wanted to add Zodicas since I track my family trees hence why they're there lol

Meet Bryson and JoAnna, my two founding sims for the sims in bloom challenge! Married and living in the cottage Henford-on-Bagely, they both share a love for the outdoors, gardening, and animals! I did speed things up a tinyyyy bit by giving him a wife, i felt it would've made things slower.

Gen 1 - Daisy (white, yellow)

Gardening has always been your passion. Owning a large, healthy garden is all you’ve ever wanted in life, even if your nails constantly have soil under them and you have so many broken pots you’ve lost count. Your happy place is meditating in the shade of the fruit trees that you grew yourself from tiny saplings. You sit and wonder what your family will grow to do, and hope that they will flourish just as beautifully as your garden has. This is the start of your family legacy!
