The next days went by without anything special happening. The kids were skilling with their toys, as well as the adults. The shop brought in some money. The sims had varying degrees of beeing healthy or sick, but nobody was truely endangered. All the wood chopping made Raisa, Geira and Lenn fit, so they are recovering from beeing sick in no time.

I present to you: The slightly altered Village Green! I flattened the terrain, replaced the slide with mortia’s gorgeous Game of Skittles and added some clutter. Lenn wasn’t just there for testing-purposes. The family hasn’t bought enough food, so he collected some fruits and berries.

I rearranged some furniture inside the house to squeeze some more counters in. The family also got a new stove.

Lenn opens up his shop, so the family can finally advance their house. Geira helps by collecting tree sap and branches. She also grows on her little brothers. With falling temperatures, the residents of Twinhills are eager to get some firewood.

To get rid of Lenn’s furious state and better their relationship again, Raisa and Lenn played some chess. Raisa, the grumpy sim she is, had to cheat and was caught by Lenn. Still as soon as I canceled the interaction, they made up on their own.

Raisa returned home with her motives tanked. I wanted her to prepare comfort soup, but seeing her dead tired, made me re-think. (Am I imagining things or is it more likely for a tired sim to start a fire?) Lenn relaxed on the bed to cure his sickness and then went outside to play some chess. In that short amount of time, he infected both his wife and daughter with the flue.... Thanks, Lenn. Geira managed to teach Viggu a nursery rhyme.
