Round 3 - Banks

[deedee_sims]

Last time:
- Due to ROS, Cornelia had to sell her pet store *soft cry*, but with all that money, Gaston could open his bookstore, the Book Nook
- She gave birth to Gerald and Rachel
- And had a mental breakdown (also blame the ROS)



Yay! I love gardens! :D





She thought the practice in the arcade was enough... Apparently not XD



They were short on money, so it was time to visit the Book Nook! And start to sell those novels (the kids book is Gaston's, the other one is by Jared Woods)



So serious XD



Poor townie girl, whose hair had been messed up by Natalie Danielson and I couldn't fix it :P (but she liked the books atleast)



I hope we will see this garden club guy later! (also Davey Danielson seems confused in the background)



Meanwhile the kids were cute!





And it was their birthday! Gaston missed it because he was working :(
First Gerald



Then Rachel





They're still cute!
New traits: Gerald: Ambitious, Rachel: Eccentric





Room makeover, but I had to rearrange things a few times, because of the tiny space. So sorry for the moving furniture in the upcoming pictures



Well, I don't think that's a good idea, you got mental breakdown last round because of the aliens!



Gaston started writing a new novel



Aww :3



Aww... Chymes, I have no idea where to put the kid!



They live a synchronized life!





Classy...



More work!



Finally!



And who gave the last customer star? Of course, Abigail by lesyasun! And she brought her boyfriend, Davey with her



Who was the first to buy a novel! Woo! I'm so glad that this sellable novels mod works!



You can see Natalie Danielson's salon in the background :)



The kids were playing with each other all the time!



When they didn't have to study



Sneaky girl



I have no idea where he saw this behavior XD



Rachel: Mum, is it true that you were abducted by aliens last round?
Cornelia: ...



Then she started asking about more inappropriate topics XD



And Gerald broke the computer



I won't forgive you, even if you wash the dishes autonomously!



Cornelia was able to pay back a part of her loan!
But it was a mistake, because they became really poor again...



Gaston tried to fix the computer...



I don't wanna see my dad when he becomes a roast meat!



Then the whole thing cought fire!



Fortunately, this firefighter was there to save them!
First I wanted to summon Davey (because he's the official firefighter), but it didn't work for some reason. I mean I made him selectable, but I couldn't click on the fire to extinguish it... Strange. Does anyone has any idea about it?



Don't worry dear, everything is okay now



At night, Cornelia popped! All the fathers are so interested about pops in this neighborhood XD



Don't mock your sister!



Revenge!



And finally the ROS garden! It's small but pretty :3



Cornelia supervised him just for sure XD



And she invited the garden club guy... Another one. But I think this stiped shirt is their uniform







They definitely need a makeover...



Yay! I have no idea what to do with that membership but thank you anyways





Seems like everyone was obsessed with the telescope



Finley Sergeant (along with Vlad) walked by! I have to say, he and Rachel didn't get along very well...



Vlad was still misbehaving



So Gerald had to distract him



And then Cornelia set the kitchen on fire!



Hopefully they had a sprinkler from the Fire Station



Mum, you're smelly!



Pop #2 and a broken sink



Time to work some more. I really love this bookstore <3



Gaston hired the beautiful Mae by slyndsey to be a cashier



Tyler the creepy townie came to buy some books



I have to say, Mae is worse than Gaston was XD



Gerald suspected something
Why are you so big? Is there a baby in your belly?
Probably



However, she was confused about it



I'm stronger than you brother! C'mon give it a try!



Ouch!



Rachel was excited about the baby :)



And then the trees cought fire...



And then Cornelia went into labor!



It's a girl, Aubrey! Gaston was happy, Cornelia... neutral XD



I said I had no idea where to put the kid...





It seems like Rachel is copying Gerald's homework XD



So mature...



Gaston finally learned how to dazzle, and Kiefer the reporter guy was his first victim





And he gave a good review and a Best of the Best Award despite his facial expression!



The next victim was Emily Sergeant



Finally money!!! Dazzling really helps!



So I could add a proper bedroom for the twins, and Aubrey moved into their old room



Cute yeti lamp there :D





And this is how the house looks like after the expansion



What did I say about the telescope?



I thought maybe I should try to invite the garden club again?



Okay. Maybe next round



Go away rude wolf! D:



And Cornelia finally payed back all of her loan, without pushing the whole family into poverty



Gaston finished his new novel! (With a certain Katy Perry song between the lines)



He could still improve though



Don't forget about Aubrey!



That's it. The tax was 5500 simoleons (and I'm quietly testing my new overlay box on Gaston:D)

---
- I was surprised that there wasn't big fires in Griffinmere yet, but the game decided to catch up XD Fortunately nobody got injured
- I have to say, I really enjoyed this round! The twins are so entertaining!
- I had absolutely no idea about how the garden club works, because I only tried it once if I remember correctly (and it was ages ago, so I forgot everything) XD
- In the next update we will meet Griffinmere's first teacher!
- Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did! :D
