#rotation 1

Uh oh, buggy slider strikes again.

Creating custom diving lots is hard, but the Dragon's Nest is a simple diving spot that works for its purposes.

We begin our adventures on Moss Island with a lone house, built for the fisher, that has become a lovely haven for one specific pair of ocean lovers.

It's quiet, quaint, and sparsely furnished, but it's perfect for the inhabitants for their first rotation on Moss Island: Jennifer Dockside, Shanda, and Popcorn.

Erin meets the Critturs, Danny and Sarah.

Kennedy Family Round 1

(intro) Erin Kennedy is a long-term military woman who was recently transferred to town. Making friends has always been difficult for her, and she worried that things might be the same in this town. Will her fears come true?

Sims: Erin Kennedy, Adult, Popularity Sim

I didn't know what to do with Erin to be honest. She's only about 9 days away from Elder when you start playing her and I didn't feel that was enough time to have a naturally occurring romance bloom, much like Fiona McIrish. So I decided to have her raise the Crittur's puppies and start being the local dog breeder in case anyone in town wants puppies.

Danny is a male, the brown dog, and Sarah is a female, the white dog. (Sorry, I'm not good at dog breeds.) Sarah starts out pregnant with three puppies when you move them into a lot with Sims. I want to write their bios here that they start out with in game for anyone who hasn't seen them.

(Sarah) Sarah never thought there was more to life than garbage cans and midnight howling until she met Danny. After living on the streets for so long, it will be nice to have a roof over their heads every night.

(Danny) A well seasoned traveler who has met dogs all over the world, Danny is now ready for the adventures of the domestic lifestyle.

They have absolutely terrible behavior, having learned all of the bad behaviors that dogs can learn, such as being filthy, being hostile to others, eating Sim food, peeing inside, and going on furniture. So Erin had her hands full and spent much of the first night with them scolding and praising.

It seems kind of mean but Danny had wanted to starve himself because they're trained to only eat Sim food. So I lured them with some spaghetti I put on the floor and kept scolding them every time they tried to eat from it. Eventually they learned to eat pet food. Again, it felt REALLY mean but that's the only way to get them to eat.

A few days in and Sarah finally gave birth to three puppies. I decided to follow the human name convention and have them share the same first letter as their parent. Meet Sarah, Darren, and Dennis. They're all brown so I'm hoping their genetics will be more interesting once they age up.

Erin spent so much time training the dogs that she didn't have much time to work on her skills for a promotion or her aspiration. She threw a party but it didn't amount to much even though it was a roof raiser. The guests spent most of the time playing with the dogs. Erin had two days off so her funds were running really low when I got a chance card that wiped out the rest of her money.

I thought she deserved some happiness in life too, so I made her bi and had her flirt with a cute Townie she brought home from work. (Sue Scotch.) Maybe I'll have her adopt a child when she's an Elder. Undecided.

I dressed Sandy as a popular mean girl archetype. I imagined her mom puts her in pageants or something.

Single Moms Household Round 1

(intro) Fiona McIrish is used to living alone with her teenage daughter, River. But when Fiona’s best friend needed a place to live with her own young daughter, Fiona readily invited the two to live in her home. Will Molly be the perfect housemate or Fiona’s biggest regret?

Sims:

Fiona McIrish, Adult, mother to River, Knowledge Sim

River McIrish, Teen, Family Sim

Molly French, Adult, mother to Sandy, Romance Sim

Sandy French, Toddler

Sandy wasn't a toddler for long, with her child birthday happening soon after beginning this rotation. She had makeup on already which kind of weirded me out but I wanted to keep the same spirit so I went for fake eyelashes and lipgloss that feels sort of age-appropriate for a tween.

Sandy's LTW is to Woohoo 20 different sims so I had her get started with Hank Goddard. He didn't seem to mind at all.

Not much happened for a while as I let the two grown women get promotions in their careers. Molly ended up being level 7 in Culinary and Fiona ended up level 9 in the Intelligence career by the end.

With only 48 hours left to be a teen, River brought home Lawrence Lum and finally fulfilled her Want of having her First Kiss. He's quite a bit younger than her but they have good chemistry so we'll see if these sparks fly again later down the road.

The Wainwrights continue to be weirdos in my game and Blair opted to take the cuck chair one night as Molly was seducing the maid. 3 Sims woohooed now if you include Mystery Sim, Sandy's other parent.

Molly and Sandy took a trip to the grocery store to get some food and for Molly to find new Sims to romance. Back home, I opted to have her drink two swigs of the Elixir of Life because I wanted her to have another baby and that fertility was getting pretty low. I normally would leave it to chance, but there's a specific story I wanted to tell.
