House 002 Chapter 1 | House 003 Chapter 1

House 002 Building Goal: 40k value home (2 bedroom, 1 bath minimum) (complete)
House 002 Generational Goals: Marry in an NPC (complete), Outdoor Enthusiast
Aspiration complete, YA aged heir

Now that Mara is a child… it’s time to work on that aspiration. So we head off to Granite Falls, and start collecting.

Fishing… and collecting some more.

Beetles to eat…

And cute animals to spy..

We even found some time out to play horseshoes with Mara.

We headed home, spent a few days working on Herbalism (which I have no pictures of because it’s just spamming making things on the grill behind the house) while Mara worked on her homework every night and got up to a “B” in school.

Our next trip out to Granite Falls the next weekend found us meeting the Hermit (who is walking away in this picture while Carlie cooks up some fruit for her and Mara.)

We managed to find all the rest of the plants for her Herbalism, and sent both back home so Mara could attend school and Carlie could work some more on her Herbalism and identifying the last plants for her aspiration.

Yay for Mara, she got her “A” in school!

Shortly after, she aged up into a gorgeous teenager. I will put her back in glasses, but keep her hair.. it looks right on her, I think.

… Why did I take this picture?

Because I forgot to take a picture of Carlie coming out of the tent on her last morning after sleeping in the tent.

Mara gets an “A” in high school. Hooray!

… And Carlie ages up to Elder.

.. But at least she does it gracefully.

Since I have everything done.. I only have a few random pictures while I wait for Mara to get to Young Adult.

I spend a lot of time having Carlie work on Handiness and upgrading things in the house.

.. Mara finds the bar and seems to love it.

… She also likes giving me heart attacks when she heads off during her picky eating phase to cook on the grill.

… See??

Then she comes home mortified and I’m left watching her in terror as she hid in her bed … leaving me hoping she makes it through the phase.

Later, she gets lonely (I guess) and heads outside to chat to random people passing by the house.

I still keep up the Herbalism garden that’s out front of the house, if nothing else, because it gives Carlie something to do.

We chat up the new gardener when Carlie’s lonely and Mara is at school.

..Then I get this message. EEKS!

So I hurry and take all my stat shots of Carlie (which are included here in a little while). I figure out that I can age Mara up with a cake that I bake ahead of time and stick candles on in the fridge. Also figure that I won’t be in trouble with bills because she’ll age up before they’re due again.

Helping Mara with homework. Her performance at school is getting rather low.. since I stopped picking on her about homework she pretty much stopped doing it.

.. Not sure why I took this picture, but it at least it shows the “new”-ish chessboard I put in upstairs.

.. It’s time!! (And yep.. Carlie even lived long enough to see her move out!)

The end bank account… (dang it’s easy to make money off archaeology .. I only ever took two trips out to Selvadorada!) – Well, and the two trips to Granite Falls.

The stats pictures I took ahead of time…

She maxed a lot of skills!

And as mentioned earlier, she finished both Outdoor Enthusiast and the Archaeology Aspirations.. although I apparently never bothered to spend any of her points… hehe.

The house final value: (I didn’t add much since the house was finished last post)

And pictures of the house: (sorry the outside pics are dark, that’s when Mara moved out so that’s when the shots were taken.)

Time for house 003!
