Switching back to the Kang-Hecking household:

Cam, Piper, and their nooboos are doing well. Everyday, Jiji completes more and more milestones, and Lani gets independent and wants to learn more about the world and why things are the way they are. Cam and Piper are doing well too, Cam got promoted, I think, and I want Piper to maybe refocus on her painting/art. 🤔😊

By 10pm, Kiran says their goodbyes to the group. They give Emily a bear hug, and she smiles as she hugs them back just as tightly. The two of them make plans for Emily to visit the gallery Kiran’s interning at, and then Kiran walks out of the pub and back to their dorm. Veronica, who was standing nearby as Emily said goodbye to Kiran, smiles slightly at Emily. “So, you and Kiran are pretty close,” she starts hesitantly. “Yeah, um, we’ve known each other since forever and dated in our teens, but we’re just friends now.” Emily says and Veronica nods, her face clearing. “And,” Emily says, her heart beating fast, “I like you a lot, Veronica,” her stomach flips as Veronica smiles. “I like you too, Emmy,” she says. Emily leans in and Veronica follows suit, and they share a soft kiss.

🫖🧸Miri and Indie Toddler Playdate! 🧸🫖

[payte]

My heart melts every time I see a toddler autonomously blow kisses and it looks like the same goes for Zain! 🥹

[payte]

While Nari works on some pottery for the store, Indie got settled on the studio floor to make some art of her own! 🎨

[payte]

Even in their pajamas, Nari still loves to watch Zain perform - and there's only one fan they care about impressing 💜

[purplesimmer455]

Zari will never not be cute 🤭💖

[payte]

Indie: *yawns* C’mere, baby girl. Mommy’s got you. Let’s go back to sleep, okay?

With her mom protecting her, Indie had sweet dreams for the rest of the night 💜

[payte]

Also, I was surprised to find out that Nari hadn’t already maxed the painting skill? For some reason, I thought she already did that so now she’s going to be glued to her drawing tablet to finish that skill and bring in the big bucks!

Mornings in the Kim-Amri household ☀️

[payte]

After Corey and Felix took their plates of leftovers and said their goodbyes, the Kim-Amri family piled up on the couch for a nice Harvestfest nap 🥰

[purplesimmer455]

The Kim-Amri family is too adorable. 🥰💖

[payte]

Time for dinner! Nari sat next to her partner and best friend at the table to eat, watching her little girl settle on the couch next to Corey, plates heaping with food. She's come a long way from her first Harvestfest in Nordhaven and she couldn't wait to see how things would change next year. 

[payte]

Zain: Alright, me and the kiddo are ready. How's dinner?

Nari: Turkey's just about done and then I just have to finish up our sides.

Just as Nari pulled the turkey out of the oven, their guests had arrived! 

Zain: Perfect timing! Now, follow me. Your niece is dying to see you guys!

[payte]

Zain: Alright, Indie, let's get you ready for Harvestfest! 

Doesn't she look so adorable all dressed up? 😭

Sims In Bloom: Generation 3 Pt. 63 (Gooseberry Pie and a Sweet Surprise)

cw: a few random costume changes because it was rainy, then a party, then too hot. But it really all took place at one chaotic house party except for the portraits!

Iris Gordon didn't ask for a big, themed fourteenth birthday party. Her parents both worked long hours, and she didn't expect them to go all out with a Regency-themed birthday celebration. She suspected her old friend in Ravenwood, Jasper Psyded, was working on something like that, anyway.

All she requested was gooseberry pie to go with her traditional strawberry birthday cake, and her cooking-inclined family obliged her simple wish. Even if it meant finding a two-hundred year old recipe online and hoping for the best.

Iris was still a sweetheart who loved the family pets as much as her people - especially her now full-grown rescue cat, Astrodamus. He was more mischievous than the Gordons' past cats, but Iris didn't mind having to coax him down from the top of the fridge every now and then.

He was curious and loved exploring, and Iris couldn't fault him for that. She did, however, have to keep an eye on him whenever human food was on the counters. If they weren't careful, her birthday pie would end up in Astro's food bowl before the party even started.

When the Gordons' fridge broke the day before the party, grandma Daisy swooped in to make a strawberry shortcake, one of old soul Iris' all-time favourites.

"Did you make the whole cake with ingredients from your garden, Grandma?"

"Almost! I don't grow my own sugarcane, but Henford's grocer sources only the best ingredients."

"But the strawberries came from your garden, right? That'll make the strawberry shortcake taste better than ever, I'll bet!"

Growing Roan had already gotten into the gooseberry pie, scarfing back a slice before Iris came inside to blow out her candles.

But easygoing Iris didn't care, and she made her way to the cake to make a wish.

"What did you wish for?" asked her dad, still in his chief's uniform after another long day at work.

"You know if I say, it won't com true, Dad!"

Conrad chuckled to himself as Iris aged up before their eyes. She was getting so grown up, but she still looked like the sweet little girl he'd never forget.

The teenager wore her heart on her sleeve and cared deeply for the people and animals in her life. The baby of her family, she was still arguably more mature than her seventeen-year-old brother, Roan. (I had to give Iris the new trait without rolling for it; felt like it suited her too perfectly not to use it, and she aged up right around when I unlocked it during the reward event.)

Iris was thrilled so many came to celebrate her birthday. Aunt Hazel, Aunt Suri, and cousin Sage were there, and her Uncle Rafa brought Aunt Melissa and her cousin, RC.

Grandma Daisy came from Henford, determined to support her family no matter how much she missed having her husband by her side. Ash and his wife, Pearl, came from the city, and Lavender flew all the way from Evergreen Harbour with her best friend-turned-girlfriend, Brea.

The house was full of love and laughter, with compliments to the chef (Conrad) for the unique but delicious gooseberry pie.

Lavender avoided her brother for most of the night. She focused on Iris and keeping the mood light, handing off her birthday gift in the backyard before heading back inside to the crowded kitchen.

"You wrote a song for me?"

"I wrote it and sent the demo to the producers for Buzz of Desire, but that master recording is all for you."

Iris beamed with excitement. "The song you wrote for me is going to be in a TV show?"

"Probably not," Roan cracked, and Lavender rolled her eyes.

"They probably won't use it, but I thought you'd think it was cool if there was even a tiny chance."

The birthday girl nodded with excitement. "I can't believe you actually put something out there that you wrote! That's a pretty cool birthday present. I thought I'd get another sweater."

"They make better gifts for Winterfest."

Iris laughed as she stood to cut herself a piece of cake. "I'll listen in my earbuds when I'm reading Buzz of Desire after Mom and Dad think I've gone to bed."

Conrad rubbed his nose with an easygoing smile. "I heard that."

Lavender was so determined not to confront her brother at Iris' birthday, she found the easel on the back patio - which she'd all but ignored her entire childhood and teen years, to play with a paintbrush.

Ash put the idea his sister was ignoring him out of his mind. They both had busy lives. As cheerful and self-assured, it was hard for Ash to dwell too long in worries or anxieties - unless someone told him he had something to worry about. His family understood this about him, generally, but he didn't understand why Lavender seemed to be avoiding him.

His Aunt Hazel would be sworn in as mayor in a few days, and he sided up to her to make conversation. "I'm sorry Pearl and I can't stay long enough for your confirmation," he said. "You really deserve this, though. I'm happy for you."

Hazel gave her oldest nephew a grateful smile. "Thanks, Ash, but don't worry about it. I've seen what your robots can do after I visited your sister out in Evergreen Harbour, and I know how busy you both are. Have you been out to check on things since the project launched?"

"My boss has. He says everything's great, and Nan's crazy about the profit margins."

She nodded thoughtfully. "You should go out to visit your sister. Make time for her if she can't make time for you."

Hazel had promised not to be the one to tell Ash the truth about his robots. Seeing was believing, after all, but Hazel Nesbitt-Romeo had all the charisma in the world. If anyone could convince him to go out west without giving away the reason why, it was her.

"You're right, Aunt Hazel. Thanks; I'll find the time."

The party had begun to wind down when Iris' phone rang. Her heart skipped at the name on the call display. "Hey Jasper!"

"Happy birthday, Iris. How was your party?"

"It was amazing! My dad made gooseberry pie, and Lavender wrote me a song!"

"I'm sorry I had school and couldn't be there. Did you get my gift?"

"I did! But it's a satin pinboard, a bookmark that doesn't fit in any of my books, and a party hat. What does it mean?"

Jasper grinned. "That's still a secret. It's only the first clue to your real birthday present."

"How do I get the other clues?"

"Keep an eye on your mailbox. It's too soon to say right now."

She giggled. "Jasper! Just tell me!"

"What's the fun in that? Once the pinboard is full, you'll figure it out." ->

NOTE: I controlled the Gordon house for this party and Lavender was autonomous; she didn't talk to Ash once, which really impacted how I played out her giving him the cold shoulder over those robots.)
