Round Fourteen - Crosby-Gates

[kayleigh83]

Last Round - Melena and Marie are settling in to their new home together, with a housewarming party too. They opened a farmer's market called Root to Plate Market. Marie became pregnant, and they welcomed their daughter Sloane at the end of the round!



Morning is here at the start of winter for Melena and Marie.



And baby Sloane too!






Melena chokes down what looks like a chalky instant breakfast.



Baby Sloane does baby things!



Melena temporarily had to change her aspiration this round thanks to ROS - normally she's popularity, but she's going to be a Family Sim for a little while instead!



Now it's time for work at the Root to Plate Market!



Everyone scowls while they think.



Making sure the reporter gets good service.



That seemed to help something!






At home Emily Lewis was jogging by, and Marie wanted to meet someone new! I can't even remember if she did end up being someone new or if they'd met before this.






She came in for some dancing anyways!



Home from work and ready for Sloane snuggles.



Aww don't worry your daughter will love you I'm sure!






These two are at it again in front of their huge windows - exhibitionists!



There were chimes after this as well - Sloane is getting a sibling!






One whiff of that mouldy cheeseburger and it's very clear who's carrying this pregnancy!



Marie takes a turn at the business today while Melena rests at home.



Veronica is apparently a discerning consumer of local produce.






At home Melena stayed on the couch most of the day.



In fact every single time I tried to get her up to do anything else, her comfort completely tanked itself. Plus she'd usually throw up in her mouth a little.






Poor thing! Back to the couch with you.






Eventually she needed to get into bed for a proper rest.



And once she was feeling a bit better and more rested, it was time for Sloane's birthday!



Here's our girl! I think she's got much more of a resemblance to Marie overall, but time will tell.

Editing to add her stats because I forgot to mention them before. She's a Cancer and so a future Family Sim. Her traits are absent-minded and excitable (from Melena) and her stats are 7/7/8/5/8. She's going to be such a sweetie!



That night baby number two shows itself a bit.



Rise and shine!



Nice to get all these aspiration points just handed to you because of her temporary Family aspiration.



Marie is hard at work at the farmer's market yet again.



Even snow won't stop her!



I can't remember if this was her helping a customer, or hiring staff! Guess I'll remember next round XD






Sloane is finding the rhythm, and discovering how fun it is to chew on this mallet thing!






Teaching her to walk!



I forgot to mention it before but right before their turn was where I FINALLY decided to put in the wear anything pregnancy mod rather than my old defaults. I think now pregnancy morphs on all outfits are so much more the norm, it's unlikely I'll have much issue with any missing them. I'm liking it so far!






This little tent totally fit their style and they had the space.. so now Sloane can easily put herself down for a nap whenever she's downstairs.



Out like a light!



Have you ever heard that certain activities make a baby come faster? Well....



Must be true!



Marie get out of bed and meet your baby!



A son, they named him Felix! Just like his sister he inherited grandma Jane's eyes.






Continuing to help Sloane learn to walk.



Success!






At the end of their round they invited Melena's brother Oliver and Winnie over for a visit.



That's it for their round!

Sadly next time you'll see them in a new home - much as I loved this one and they weren't there for very long, not only were they already outgrowing it a bit, but something was up with it from early on and it was super glitchy. I couldn't ever have them serve a meal, they would have a jump bug every time and the meal would vanish. I tried swapping out so many things that may have been causing it and never figured it out. So they will have a fresh start in a new and larger home next time.

I still love the market, it's so pretty!
Sloane is so cute!
I also encountered a glitch with serving meals on one lot lately, how odd!

That's so weird! I could get by with just the two of them, they just made single meals for themselves. But a lot less feasible with two kids sadly!
