So, I have 9 days left to play in this generation. Seems like forever, but I’m sure I won’t get a huge amount of pictures from it.. (going to be a lot of fast forwarding and knitting, methinks…) In other words, this will be a short chapter.

We start off with Fetia’s first haunting. Aww, we miss you, girlie!

Then, she decides to leave us a crappy painting. Um.. thanks for trying? (At least she finished it..)

This paparazzi thinks it’s newsworthy that Jesse had to spray graffiti for 2 hours. I mean.. I guess??

Jaxson ages up to adult, which means he’s allowed to be kicked out of the house. I waste no time in finding him a new home in Sulani, and assure him his brother will be joining him within the week.

Jesse spends a lot of time knitting. He unlocked all the toddler onesies and made two baby onesies for Coty. This is a shot of Coty being thoroughly happy about the gifted onesies.

Jesse maxes his knitting skill, but I’m not sure he’ll get the aspiration done.

I keep forgetting Coty is a Glutton.. and then he does something like this. And I remember. Why did you guys pick him again?? LOL.

Tyson, if it’s so awful, WHY are you eating it? There’s plenty of non-spoiled food in the fridge, I promise you….

Coty, dear.. no fires, please. You’re a big boy now, and should know better! (Spoiler: no fire.. whew)

Jesse needs to teach someone to knit for the aspiration.. so Coty gets roped into learning the.. er.. strings? LOL.

… This is his first reaction. Not sure it’s because he has to pee.. or because he’s thoroughly confused. Could be both. Knitting isn’t easy…

-5 … Really, Coty?!?! You couldn’t walk 30 feet to get to the house to find your bed? Again, why was he picked?? (J/k you know I still love you, Coty..)

And… drumroll… This generation is officially OVER! Right after blowing out the candles, Coty proceeds to tick me off by stealing a piece of cake before he can put new candles on for his brother. Sigh.

And.. since I can’t control Jesse anymore.. Coty gets to cook it.

Finally. We kick out the last spare. sorry, Tyson, but Jaxson is lonely out there. =P

Jesse’s last action, his only free action as an elder: retiring. And just in case you’re not paying close attention to the pictures, it’s Harvestfest, too. We’ve been invaded by gnomes.

… Which brings us to the end of this chapter. I take some screenshots for posterity of Jesse’s stats:

I will stick my nose in here to mention: I COULD have used all Jesse’s points to buy youth potions and passed them down to Coty… but I didn’t want things to be “too easy”.. so Jesse gulped down his last saved-up potion moments before Coty aged up (so maybe he’ll get to see his first grandkid..) .. and I never spent any of Jesse’s points on anything but youth potions. All but one of them were drunk by him, too. (The last one burned up in a fire, if you remember. RIP.)

Time to count up points.

For a grand total of… 285!!! (I thoroughly expect to start off the next Gen by losing a good portion of those. It’s the way ISBIs go!) Anyway.. despite the lure to start the next generation right away, I will probably wait until the next time this story comes up in the posting rotation to start. At least, that’s the plan. (LOL)
