Evergreen Harbor Part Four

Last time we visited Aldo and Harmony, Aldo passed out on the bathroom floor of the bar in Willow Creek. He was already exhausted, but couldn't say no when Bella Goth invited him out. We've also been taking advantage of Harmony's no need decay and have been working on her skills almost 24 hours a day.

Harmony's Fabrication skill is increasing nicely. She can now make molded candles and she even made the tables in the reading corner!


Upstairs, Aldo is listening to Bess' "Business" plan and goes to invest 1000 Simoleons into it. He sees a lot of potential in her.

Andrea and Knox came over to chat for a bit. Harmony greeted them outside when she finished her candle. I don't know why they use this door rather than the actual front door. Sims are weird.

Bess and Aldo are still chatting about life things.

Harmony was trying to make a table lamp when the machine malfunctioned and spilled dye all over her. Fortunately she's a ghost and it won't effect her as much as other Sims.

Harmony is now level 9 in Painting! She's painting a bowl of fruit. Since I took some time away from Harmony while she was a ghost, she's not as advanced in her skills as Aldo is.

While Aldo was at work the next day, Harmony was invited to Knox's house. She met Blossom and Mary, who are his mothers. They seem nice.

When Aldo got home from work, he started talking with Harmony.

This went from 0 to 100 real quick! Aldo's feelings for Harmony haven't gone away, and it shows! Here they are having their first kiss!

Aldo took things outside, where he's serenading Harmony. His Guitar skill isn't that great, but he's trying and she's flattered.

They're hyped up for some...DUMPSTER WOOHOO?! Yes, Harmony and Aldo woohooed in the dumpster. Twice to be exact. Aldo did serenade Harmony after this woohoo as well (the first one was also post-dumpster woohoo).

It's Spooky Day, so after round 2, Harmony dressed as Princess Leia and Aldo dressed up as Boba Fett. They love Star Wars! I wish there was an option to watch the movies on your Sims' TV.

KATRINA! Katrina Caliente is taking a jog through Port Promise. Apparently she really likes the changes that have been made.

Aldo had some recyclables from his dumpster woohoo with Harmony, so he's recycling them. That way he and Harmony can Fabricate more things and make some awesome candles.

After the dumpster woohoo, I built a mini "woohoo dungeon" (I streamed this in my Discord server and the top suggestion was a woohoo dungeon). Aldo is taking advantage of the solitude by skinny dipping in the hot tub.

Katrina stopped by for a post-workout chat. Harmony likes her, so she's been getting to know her better. Katrina is a nice townie.

That will wrap up today's trip to Evergreen Harbor! Below I have some screenshots of Port Promise after the Green Initiatives Plan was enacted. It's beautiful! Just because I feel like it, here are some beautiful pictures of Port Promise :) It's a cloudy fall day

Not So Berry Rose Gen Part Nineteen

Welcome to the first visit to Oasis Springs in 2021! Last time we visited our lovely Berry family, Ross woohooed with Paolo Rocca from Windenburg! It was his first time being intimate with a male Sim and he enjoyed it! He also tried wooing an older Sim, but he wasn't having it.

We start today's visit with Yannick and Siobhan playing some Chess. Yannick is trying to gain as much Mental skill as he can before he ages up. He still has ten days I think.


Tina Tinker heard something was broken, so she came over to fix it. Scarlet answered the door and complimented her on her hair and similarly colored outfit.

Siobhan is eating some breakfast before work and is getting to know Scarlet better. Siobhan just learned that Scarlet is Ross' teenage crush and that's why he's keeping her around. He's starting to sound suspicious to her. We'll see what happens next with Ross and Siobhan.

Ross woke up feeling really angry. He tried playing with Tom, but he decided to just chill on top of the fridge. Siobhan is just minding her business as she usually does. That's smart, Siobhan.

Yannick came home from school with another project. He has to do another Chemical Reaction Volcano. Scarlet didn't have much to do, so she offered to help. Yannick likes when Scarlet helps him with his projects.

Meanwhile, when Siobhan and Ross got home, they were chatting and playing chess. Getting flirty while working on their Logic skill? That sounds like a winning situation to me.

Townies can be really weird. Someone left a perfectly good latte and pepperoni pizza on the ground. There are also random drinks scattered around the food stand. Sims, please be better about leaving your excellent quality drinks on the ground. None of them are spoiled either. They all say Excellent Quality.

Eww, Siobhan! She's eating the who-knows-how-old pepperoni pizza that was on the ground! At least it won't be wasted and it wasn't spoiled. It's still gross.

When she got home, she decided to open a present. It was a grill! Since we already have the best grill, I'll leave it in her inventory.

The next morning Nina decided to visit. She was feeling sad because she feels like she's missing out on Yannick growing up. "Ross, you're raising a great boy. Yannick is bright as can be and really loves space."

Um okay. Yannick walked in Ross' bathroom as Siobhan finished her shower. If he had walked in a couple seconds prior, they both would have been embarrassed. Yannick would have been scarred because he didn't intend on seeing a naked Sim.

Tom was feeling a little uncomfortable, so Siobhan wanted to comfort him. He just wanted some pets, which she was glad to give him.

Tina Tinker isn't around, so Scarlet had to fix the broken stereo herself. Fortunately she has a bit of downtime in her Nanny job to read about Handiness and learn how to fix things.

It was a really nice day outside, so after Ross got home from work, he and Yannick went in the pool. They love living in Oasis Springs, where it's almost always warm enough to take a swim.

After some much needed bonding and pool time, Yannick went to work experimenting on his table. He's currently level 6 in the Mental skill and has about 4 days until he ages up. Will he max the skill? We shall see.

Ross wanted to break up with Siobhan (it was one of his whims). So instead of causing another scene like Brooklynn did, he decided to let her down easy and ask to just be friends. Fortunately she was okay with it. So now Ross has had two girlfriends. Who will be the third? Scarlet will be the one he marries.

That will wrap up today's visit to Oasis Springs! Who will be Ross' next girlfriend (or boyfriend; he's not picky)? I'm kind of leaning toward Paolo since they did woohoo. We have a one or two more parts of Yannick being a child then he will be a teen! He has to master the Rocket Science and Handiness skills. So we'll be working on them almost immediately.

A to Z Batista Legacy Gen C Part Eighteen

When we last visited the Batista family, baby David was born and Leilani & Chad got married! We left off at the end of the wedding, so let's pick things up when everyone gets home.


Leilani wants to do something now that they're officially married ;)


Aww, Dave is ecstatic that he has baby David! I think I mentioned this last time, but I've been wanting to name my gen D heir David since I started the challenge. So Cassidy marrying Dave is purely coincidental.

Ooh, things are getting steamy! Leilani wants to hot tub try for baby!

AND SHE IS PREGNANT! So soon we'll have both of our gen D heirs! Let's see if she has one or multiples. So far every pregnancy has been a single baby, but let's see if things change. No one has the fertile trait nor do I have the "On Ley Line" lot trait (I don't own City Living)

Chad is super excited to be a dad! Dave and Bort have been giving him tips and he's ready! He's glad David and his little one will grow up together!

Chad had to work, so Leilani went and harvested the plants. She said it's nice to enter the greenhouse because it relaxes her and she enjoys talking to the plants.

Dave is officially retired! Cassidy has been asking him to do so for a few days, and he wanted to wait until David was born. So now he's officially a Stay-At-Home Dad! Leilani also encouraged him to retire, so she was the first one to know!

Leilani is nurturing the bugs in hopes they will supply the Bio Fuel they need to power their generators. Despite their home and community lot being somewhat Industrial, the neighborhood is still Neutral and majorly leaning toward a Green Eco Footprint.

Cassidy is home from work! Unfortunately her work outfit doesn't seem too warm. Let's hope she can get inside before she gets too cold.

She made it! She's working on her Charisma skill so she can earn that next promotion. She's already level 2, which is what she needs, but she wants to get ahead so she can do more.

Dave is erratic and he loves talking to himself in the snow. At least he's wearing something appropriate for the weather.

Chad got promoted! He has officially entered the Master of the Real branch of the Painter career! And there to greet him was Olive Tinker, the adorable daughter of Tina Tinker! They got into talking about art and creative things.

Cassidy is doing what Batistas do best: painting! She had a stressful day at work and what better way to wind down than painting a lovely picture of the city? It looks great, Cassidy!

Part of the requirements for Chad's next promotion is reaching level 2 of the Logic skill. Somehow I never had a chess table, so I got one and put it in the basement. I really wish there was a color wheel or at least some way to match swatches better.

Dave is an early bird, so he woke up before everyone else. He was looking up things on the computer when he was greeted by Afro and Bethany. They were saying they're glad he's a part of the family and baby David is adorable.

Omg! David is now a toddler! We'll see more of him in the next few parts since he is our heir on Cassidy's side!

That wraps up our first trip to Newcrest in 2021! Next time we'll see if Leilani gives birth and what we name the baby/babies! Will we see our first multiples? Or will they keep the tradition of having one at a time? We'll see! We're keeping the schedule of one post per week until June. I just took a bit of a break last week and wanted to post Camila and the Batistas this week so nothing would change schedule wise :)
