The Wall o’ Fish and the house is getting better. Couldn’t quite afford a TV yet, so the cowplant is still their main source of entertainment.

Well, that and this.  HAHA. Sure is nice to have a better bed, though.

Welcome to our heir, Caitlin. Yet another girl heir. Wonder how long I’ll keep getting girls.

Aha.. an Inspiration essence. Thanks, Daichi!

Aww.. Daichi looks like he’s going to be a great dad.

Playful essence.

The kitchen is finally getting better. Still wary of getting them a stove since Daichi really seems to like cooking when we have leftovers in the fridge.

Mara is pregnant again, and with a baby on the way plus a toddler… let’s just say she’s a busy mom. Barely any time to get things done, especially not fishing.. so the garden keeps her occupied while she’s a homebody.

Some fun.. and another look at my Wall o’ Fish. Gotta say I love that thing. I really hope I can get it done.

Second baby on the way. She gets named Kierra.

And finally… Mara isn’t pregnant so we can get back to work on essences. Fairly sure this was the last unique essence needed.

… Or not. Looks like I still need one. Of note: one happiness potion somehow got deleted and isn’t shown.. but I got a duplicate thanks to Daichi and his obsession with the cowplant.

Adulthood! Poor Mara’s starting to age.

Oh, no. I accidentally killed the cowplant.  🙁  And I didn’t save a berry for just in case.. so I’ll have to wait until I can 1, catch one, and 2, get it to grow up.

A very unhappy Kierra. That cursed lot trait strikes again. And somehow this is one of the very few pictures I have that shows Caitlin as a toddler. Guess I was just so run off my feet that I forgot about pics.

And Caitlin grows up. She’s definitely going to need a hair change.. but I’ll wait until she’s grown up.

Picking flowers. And a reminder picture for me so I can remember…

That Mara just finished a goal: 10 fishing and 10 gardening. That means it’s about time to put in a park.

The front of the house gets some very minor landscaping.

The gardener working.. and I add a Woodworking table to the back porch.

Daichi’s birthday. And I actually remembered it this time.

… He doesn’t seem happy about it.

Another trip to Sylvan Falls… and some more money earned.

The house is finally coming along. No new wall fishies, but got the two kid’s rooms done and the kitchen has upper cupboards.

A better shot of the kid’s rooms.

Playtime with daddy.

Here I take a break to “build” a park. I use the park I designed for my Settler’s Challenge, and tweak a couple things (like the pond) to set it up as a desert park.

I think it looks pretty good.

A shot of the living room with walls up. As you can see if you look closely, I got the unique essences completed. Being brave this time around, I’m leaving the cowplant there and seeing how many I can get.

Mara is now working on handiness in the background while everyone else lives their normal life.

Finally. No more toddlers – Kierra ages up.

She apparently loves the outdoors.. and her glasses.. haha.

Kid’s room transferred from toddler to child. Of note: once again, I forget the anti monster light, so I get woken up the next night.

Caitlin pretty much ignores the cowplant.. apparently Kierra isn’t the same way.

… Haha.. Caitlin has a bear phase. Too funny.

Another essence from Daichi.

… And one from Mara.

Mara still working on handiness.

.. And yet another essence.

Just before aging up, Caitlin gets her grade school “A”.

The house value is now well over the 40k requirement.. the park is built.. our heir is a child – nearly teenager.. and the fishing aspiration is done. Oh yeah, and I have all the essences. Next goal: handiness to 10 so I can open the grotto and get those fishies… then I want the Granite Falls fish as well as the Selvadorada ones, so we have a couple of vacations in the future. I’m still hopeful I’ll be able to finish my Wall o’ Fish… but we’ll see. I’ve never finished a total collection in Sims 4, so this should be interesting.
