Round 13 - Lumber

[deedee_sims]

Last time:
- Jack moved to his own house
- He got married to Zoey the (ex)townie
- Ranger's Supplies was doing great



Ahhh I've been waiting for the distant relatives ROS for so long!
(also, it retrospect, I think I forgot to add the 300 simoleons they won lol)



*knock knock*



Jack: Aspen, what are you doing here?



Aspen: I decided to move here! Can I crash at your place for a while?



Jack: What?



So Jack now has a sister XD

Family / Fortune - Libra
+ Makeup, Black hair
- Stink
Traits: Heavy Sleeper - Neurotic - Perfectionist - Gatherer - Irresistible
LTW: 6 Grandchildren



Jack: Um, dear, I think we might have a visitor



Zoey: What?



The house got a little expansion, so Aspen could have her own room







Aspen really tried to make a good impression on her sister-in-law



Jack chopped some trees



Aspen shared embarrassing stories of her brother XD



Aspen decided to go out and discover the hood
Her first stop was the Botanical Garden



I think this runs in the family XD



She's desperately trying to make a good impression!
Now to Emmett Masterson, the mayor



June Masterson and Lyndsey Blondie had a chess match



Linette Banks was a mischief!



Aspen: Congrats for being hot!



Meanwhile usual date activity was spotted



Zoey: What do you think about having kids?



Jack: I'm ready if you are!





Aspen is clearly not a master chef



She had doubts about this whole moving thing while going to bed





*whispers* finally



Jack brought the whole family to help him out at the Ranger's Supplies!



Novak kid spotting #1: Addison



Aspen tried to make some more good impressions, now on the cute reporter guy, Kiefer!



Logan Woods probably only came for the Stanley plushies



Gavin (by Starlla) was excited to buy stuff



Jack started throwing axes autonomously



He's a natural talent, it seems!



He's not much of a natural talent at the cash machine



Restocking girls



Yay!



He also got a good review!



Trenton, the sameshirt townie: Where am I?
Jack: Uhh, should I help him or what?



Io Fields (by Taylor) was also here!



Your business is not better, Io, stop complaining XD



Pop!







Jack went on a morning hike and got chased by bees XD



Book club



Aspen: Ugh, get a room, I'm trying to study!



They did just that!



Pop #2!



I think they're exicited!



More neighborhood discovery for Aspen: the Birch Park



Frida Novak: Is she okay?



Okay, Aspen is really trying to schmooze up to the mayor it seems XD
Tracey Cinderford was just as confused as I am XD



She ended up settling for a chess game



Novak kid #3: Newt joined her later



Such a pleasant topic from afar, Aubrey Banks



Zoey tried to tell Jack a dirty joke
He still has no sense of humor





Classy



Aspen: Ugh guys, get a room again!
Well, you moved here as a third wheel!





It was baby time!
Aspen: Oh, wait something is happening, I have to hang up!



Jack: Deep breath
Aspen: Yay, baby! :)



It's a girl, Pansy!
She inherited Aspen's eyes, because I added it as a recessive to Jack



Aspen was more excited about the baby than Jack XD



Jack: You tiny



The baby will get Aspen's room when she moves out, but for now, she's stuffed to the bedroom



Jack: Omg, violence!



Jack wanted to throw a party... maybe to celebrate his child
Some friends were invited (Percy, the townie, June, and Megan Danielson)



Uh, maybe it wasn't the best idea to invite both Godric Saunders (by Voleste) and townie Darcy (by Poppet) :(



Aspen is trying and failing to find a special someone so far



Wtf Percy! In front of her husband?



Zoey: Wtf Percy! In front of my husband?



Zoey: Aw, yes, here's my man!



The party ended up in a book club



Pansy is a fussy baby



Mommy to the rescue!



Jack: It was a great party, don't you think?
Zoey: Jack, I got groped by one of your buddies?



What's that face, Isaac, the happy mailman?



Alright, time to open the tattoo parlor (finally!)
It's called Heart on Your Sleeve!













Hector, the cute townie, no!



Christine Thyme and Kiefer, the cute reporter guy engaged in a conversation
It was pretty busy for a first day!



Aspen joined Zoey to help out
Or at least she tried



Whoa that was fast!



Chris: Are you sure you're qualified in tattooing?



She got some stars (that's not very visible from her hair, but whatever)



Kiefer: Why do you need a scissor?



No one asked your opinion, Jim (by Mikexx2)



Felix (by Jellybeanery) wasn't entirely happy with the service



Justin Thyme got the only tattoo that contains a clock, just to stay in brand, lol



Meanwhile Jack took care of the garden



And Pansy!



That night it was birthday time!



They grow up so fast!



Look at this cute!

Stats: Scorpio
Traits: Loves the Outdoors (Jack) - Schmoozer (Zoey)



Another toddler who has different ideas about where she wants to go



Aspen was happy to help out with her niece!



Although potty training was quite boring



Tickle monster!



And that's it! The tax was 7100 simoleons

---
- My game gave me a honest to god scare when Pansy started rolling buy wants. I freaked out and quit without saving, and when I replayed the day, she seemed fine. So I really hope I avoided corrupting the hood (I really don't want it to blow up in my face)
- On a happier note we finally have a tattoo parlor! I tried to apply some fixes to Shaundak's Tattoo chair, some worked, some not, so I'll poke it some more. I also want to tweak it so sims change into their underwear or swimwear so I don't have to do it manually (otherwise I can't really see where the tattoos are lol)
- Aspen has 3 bolts with Lucio the townie, but he's having a thing with Lydia Kinsley, so I kinda want to see where it goes before getting them together (although I don't think Lydia is very serious about it and Lucio is a family sim just like Aspen, so)
- Thank you for reading! :)
