2. Welcome back to Arbor Watch. I know it has been an
insanely long time since I’ve updated. Real life has
unfortunately kept me away from simming, sucks when
that happens. Anyways, I’m back and bringing an
update along for the ride.
3. Nothing like a leaky bathtub to welcome us back
to the Vegas. Luckily Komei has his lucky wrench
and has it all in hand.
4. Komei and Amber are still madly in love with each
other. You know guys, you do have to open the store
eventually right?
5. Of course Amber’s Tales basically runs itself now so
I ended up taking random pictures of things like
butterflies.
6. Amber and Komei head home in time to meet the
girls home from school. Abby’s birthday is coming up
this rotation so this is her last few days to max her
charisma skill. Come on baby don’t fail me now.
7. Finally Abby has her world peace speech ready
and maxed Charisma skill! Woot!
Entertainment here we come.
8. Everybody gets leftovers for dinner. Well
Komei and Abby do. Sam’s on a diet
apparently. Simfast has to get boring.
9. Day Two starts early as usual with Amber and Komei
at the daily grind of skilling.
10. The girls are off to school. It’s Abby’s
last *sniffle* they all grow so fast.
11. I sent Amber and Komei off to the bookstore again. I
admit I’m playing favorites with the two business. I love
the bookstore. I can’t wait to expand it to look like
Barnes & Nobles before they took all the comfy couches
out.
12. Angie finally got a gold cashier badge. I had Komei
give her a well deserved raise. Hopefully she won’t
be stuck as a teen much longer. If I remember to
grow her up with Abby.
13. The girls bring more vacation sims home from school. I
wish they’d bring Julian or his siblings home instead of
the vacation townies. It’s hard to keep a good
relationship with them. Although it’s not like they need
friends for jobs or anything to think about it. Well Abby
will eventually.
22. Day Three begins with a new addition to
the household. Meet little Sumo only
puppy of Strength and Hannah.
23. Abby begins to learn her father’s trade. Although
I’ll probably let Sammie take over Komei’s
Klothes. Abby can help out in the mean time.
24. No entertainment jobs available yet. But it
Anna from the NEW Pokémon Legacy for
ever to find her entertainment job.
25. To not neglect Komei’s Klothes, I send Abby and
Komei up there. Abby takes the opportunity to a
little spouse hunting. Juan Harris is first in line,
but she’s going to have to wait until next rotation.
26. Back at home, Komei takes a nap while
Abby makes lunch for everyone.
27. Amber helps Sumo out by bringing him up
onto the porch. Poor little thing was getting
buried in snow.
29. Komei was surprisingly the only one up at four in
the morning on Day Four. Come to think of it.
I’ve heard older people have a harder time
sleeping late. Maybe that’s the thing with
Komei and Amber.
30. I feel bad for making Komei work at the time.
Today he gets to play with puppies, he’s so
cute.
32. They’re as close as they could ever come to being
in a dog pile. Faith and Strength are both elders
now, huh I don’t remember that happening.
Sneaky ninja birthdays.
33. I had Komei make a green quilt to go with the green
couches. It adds a nice touch to the dining room I
think.
34. Shortly after Sammie heads off to school.
The Reaper comes for Cleo. *sniffs* Bane
and she can finally be reunited.
36. The rest of the day is somber.
Everyone just kind of does their
own thing.
37. Sammie is the only one that has any energy,
but she was at school when Chloe passed on.
38. Day Five finds Komei the only one up early again. Other
than the dogs of course.
39. Day Five means RENO DAY!!!!!! There wasn’t a real good way to
expand the house outward on the first floor. So I added the second
floor, the Vega are the first family to have a two story house. They
didn’t have a whole lot of money to furnish. But Abby and Sammie
don’t have to share a room anymore. Eventually there will another
bedroom upstairs and probably another den/family room area.
Maybe a study, dunno yet.
40. Here’s a picture of the outside of the house. The
snow makes a nice effect.
41. Amber and Abby spend most of the day hard at work
to recoup some of the money from the renovations.
42. They’re able to sell enough to get Abby a
brand new double bed.
43. Abby also gets a computer in hopes that she
can find her dream job. Though no luck yet.
44. That’s it for the Vega’s this time around.
Bit of a short update, but with no small
children there’s not a lot going on.
Anyways on to the Cookes.
