StrangeSpot, Round Thirty One: Curious

Phew! IRL news: being employed and having a paycheck is awesome. There's just less time for sims! Luckily I had these screenshots stashed away for a Curious update. Let's see:

Spark brings Phyllis Grunt home from school. Cliff is pleased his son is having a more friend-filled childhood than he did.

Lettice and Nobel welcome baby Ailean. He doesn't have alien eyes or skintone but he might get the ears and fit his name!

Edge nearly burns the house down trying to make himself useful and be the household chef. At the moment he's awkwardly hanging around as Cliff's boyfriend and pollinator, and the latter thing is making it hard for him to know how to be around Spark. He's not sure he's cut out to be a father..!

Almost forgot to add from my round notes: Lettice has changed her name to Lettice B. Curious. I thought it would be cute x

StrangeSpot, Round Thirty One: Kine Society

Lacy's introducing the whole cowplant thing to her children early. Phyllis is a child now so Lacy has more time to devote to the twins, who are now toddlers - that's Velvet on the left and Shade on the right in the third picture.

RIP to Boots, the long-lived cat originally adopted by the Harts all those years ago. How time flies!

StrangeSpot, Round Thirty: Kine Society

When tragedy took its toll on StrangeSpot, loving Lacy took two of the town's displaced children into her arms. The Kine Dairy Farm is a safe haven for all her children, but Lacy sees the potential for it to become something more…

StrangeSpot, Round Twenty Nine: Hart

Miles is still racing to get married before elderhood so he proposes to Dot Matrix when she walks by. She says yes, but when they head to the wedding arch that afternoon, she remembers that she's in a defacto relationship with Ceres Beaker and calls everything off. Womp womp. Maybe it also wasn't a great look to marry the guy who got her bandmate pregnant...

Everyone's still in their formalwear for baby Phyllis to age up into a toddler and hoo boy that's an interesting face! I knew Ace + Lacy was going to result in unique kids but in this case I'm really hoping she ages into it. We'll also see a third kid from them soon. Lacy is extremely concerned about the rising number of werewolves in town, and worries for her children growing up around them. She's adopting the old school Grunt way of thinking, unfortunately.

StrangeSpot, Round Twenty Eight: Grunt

Good news: Skipper is a child and has a new baby sister, Phyllis!

Bad news: At some point in the round I must have accidentally deleted the household's letterbox. The family weren't doing too financially well anyway (Lacy was struggling to get a teaching job from the newspaper that wasn't showing up, oops), so Ace accepted his Miles' offer to move in with him. They're also moving in with Miles' cousin Leon, his kid, and two cats. Boom - instant chaotic household, with no missing letterbox shenanigans. Phew!
