Round 13 - Sergeant
2020-12-13 20:25![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Last time:
- Errol started dating Frida Novak (Frida grew up since then)
- Mina became a teen
- Honey, the cat passed away :(
- Vanessa, the townie moved in due to a ROS event, but I moved her out now, because it was weird

Only 1 friend, so meh


Finley is still rolling baby wants... you're going to have grandkids, dear, not kids

Mina brought home Sherwood Kinsley-Danielson from school

He also schmoozed to Finley

Errol had opinions about his parents' PDA

Cashew is still alive and fine!

There was a party later! Where every family member was invited (some of them even showed up lol)

It was Finley's birthday! *sobs*
And it seems like I forgot to take a picture of him lol

The couples had a field day: Yvette Sergeant and Chad Springer

Charlie and Helena Sergeant

Oh, and Errol also had a birthday!

Helena was more interested in Cashew, than the birthday party...

Here's our Errol!
Pleasure / Knowledge - Sagittarius
+ Good at Cleaning, Formal wear
- Unemployed
Traits: Friendly (Finley) - Slob (Rachel) - Gatherer - Natural Cook - Photographer's Eye
LTW: Marry off 6 Children

Helena was so nice to Sierra Banks! I think she'll be a great mother ^^

Carla Banks got the fingerguns out, as usual

Cashew: Pretty please?

No one can resist such a cute face!
Helena: That's my hubby!

Meanwhile Cailin Sergeant and Aubrey Banks had a private conversation upstairs, far from everyone else

The pillow fighting tradition is still going strong!

Here's Finley btw. Still cute!

Just like Cashew!


The next day, it was time to visit Finley's business: Fantastic Toys!

Myra Kinsley was happy to be here!

This business is always doing so well!

Christine Thyme was also here! Maybe a mother in the making?

Luca (by Esotheria) was thrilled!

Hannah (by Lilith-sims), not so much

Elizabeth Link (by Moocha) was also here! Hiiii!

Ian Hawk still works here as a cashier and manager! He's not getting much better, though

As well as Allen Cinderford

Mina took over the lemonade enterprise

Mina: A lemonade, Mr. Mailman?

Mina: Carla? Can I interest you in a lemonade?
No one bought lemonade :(

Errol: Look, Cashew, I'm winning!

Poor Rachel didn't get much screentime yet, but here she is!

Errol headed out to the Gel & Hairspray to get a haircut!
(he had the same hair since he was a toddler, afterall!)

Lookin good!

He also visited the Birch Park, and met townie Alison! They share a bolt

That's a very charming face, Errol

I was just as surprised as Alison XD

But she was interested in going on a date!

Cousin Bethany Hawk was spotted skilling (as usual)

Kai, the townie was embarrassed by their excessive PDA

I have no idea what Carla was talking about, but it concerned Luca XD

Um, Errol, you have no bolts with Frida? Also she's dating others?
And you're also dating another?

You cannot just fool cousin Fanny Hawk!

It was a nice date, afterall!

Meanwhile these two were just as lovey-dovey as they usually are!

Whoops

Finley: I knew we still had a spark... but I didn't mean this!

And then the ground caught fire. Amazing

Finley to the rescue!

Mina was oblivious to this whole thing, and snuck out with Esme Goodie-Bakley

But you have... negative bolts with him??

Aw, look how happy Finley was!

Time to visit the other business, Pixel Pets!

Mayor Emmett Masterson was enchanted!

Gerald Banks... it's your sister's business and you've been here multiple times

Aiden Favreau was here as well!
(also Trenton, the sameshirt townie still works here!)

And the business reached Rank 8!

Percy, the townie got help as well

The other employee Velma Novak didn't show up (probably because she's a vampire). So Rachel had to handle restocking as well.

Back at home, I finally updated Errol's room!


Mina still wanted to flirt with Sherwood... so it happened.

Errol had a guest as well!

Finley finally earned a gold badge!

Things were looking good for these two!

Until Alison rejected a makeout, apparently XD
Mina: Maybe she got cold feet!

But then they made up. Oh well!

Finley:


Last time homework for Mina!

She brought home Willow Woods later that day!
Willow didn't understand XD

Never grow up, Finley!

Another birthday? More likely than you think!

Rachel is also getting mature!

Sisters XD

Diana Banks: Geez, you're really bad at this!
Sierra: Stupid controller!

Anyway: here's elderly lady Rachel!



I was thinking quite a lot about what kind of business would fit Errol, but the only telling trait he has is Natural Cook
So I went with a bakery! Bake It Till You Make It! (that's the name XD)


The only thing he can make so far is gelatin XD



The success wasn't immediate, because the first customer, Dustin, the townie refused him :(

Gresham Danielson-Novak was much more acceptive!

This update could be called: various family members get lost at businesses

Mr Evil Warlock: Hehe, I'm blocking their conversation!
Such cruelty!

The business was quick to reach Rank 1!

Yeah, maybe he should hire an employee

Gresham: *is devastated*

Domestic bliss in PJs. Goals!

Mina brought home Levi Masterson from school this time

And I almost forgot that Rachel has a night out with her old best friend: Leann Danielson!

Leann is very appreciative of street musicians

See?

Alyssa Kinsley on the other hand... not so much

They ended their outing with some dancing!

Meanwhile Errol invited over Alison for another date!

wHY


Alison: *aggressive dancing*

Errol: Mmm that's very hot


The tables have turned

And we end the update with this cute picture!

And then this cute picture! The tax was 8200 simoleons.
---
- I was a bit unsure about the Errol-Alison thing, because they only have one bolt, but then I checked with the crystal ball thingy, and actually she's in the top three of Errol's chemistry? I locked the engagement want, and she'll probably move in next time!
- I'm not sure if I want to move Errol out just yet. They have space, and who knows who Mina will end up with! So he'll stay for another round!
- I also wanted to add a new cat to the family, but I forgot XD
- Thank you for reading! :)

Never really considered Frida and Errol. I think she'd fit in with Sergeants quite well, but I don't blame you or Errol for going with Alison, she's a stunner.
Anyway, I want to thank your for these updates and how consistent you are with them. I always look forward to watching Griffinmere and its families grow. Stay safe.

Date: 2020-12-17 17:02 (UTC)Yeah, Finley constantly rolled that baby want, but I didn't want to force them. He's going to have a bunch of grandchildren though!
I didn't feel like Frida and Errol were an inseparable couple. As I said they have no bolts. I think it was just a teen romance, so idk why Errol was pining so much XD
And I'm glad you're enjoying my updates! I was quite busy this past month, so I'm happy I could squeeze in some updates :)

Date: 2020-12-27 00:04 (UTC)Love the bakery, I love how every adult has their own business, or rather almost every adult. And Finley and Rachel have really successful businesses too. Can't wait to see what happens next, though Finley can't die like ever. LOL

Date: 2021-01-06 15:15 (UTC)Bake It Till You Make It! looks great! I'm sure it will be very succesful in the next round. :)
Yay for Errol & Alison! I was hoping for that girl to be playable soon, because she's so pretty and has 'real human' vibe. :)

Date: 2021-01-06 22:37 (UTC)I'm glad you like the bakery! Let's hope Errol will earn some cooking skill so he can start selling cheesecakes :P
I'm glad too, I love Alison! :D
