A Tinn’s tale

Past week I have been recovering the backup and checking in on all the families, to see if they’re okay. Some things were lost, but it’s not a big deal. Most families are doing great and have redecorated their homes with new stuff. I downloaded a lot of Galilea’s houses because of the awesome walls. The houses look very snug with them.

 

This is the living room of the Green family. They have a cat called Timber, but they recently found an orphaned kitten and adopted the poor little thing.

Mr. Green owns a grocery store, it’s in the process of setting up but I’m not entirely sure how to arrange him to get all the produce from the farms. The farmers have to make money too, somehow, and they should get paid for their produce.

But how many should they produce? How many fields should they have, to provide for the entire community? How do I distribute it evenly, so every family can have dinner every day?
Currently the Chandler family is one of the poorest, because Dorus is gone and no-one is making money at all. This would be logical. But if Frank moves in, he is going to earn something to provide for the family. That was the point. But how? I was thinking they would become farmers, because I want more than one farmer family and Frank is bringing the knowledge. But they could also sell candles to all the villagers, using the beeswax Luc is looking for in the woods.

 

 

Maria Green holding the new kitten in front of their house. They called her Bea. She’s a cute thing.

 

 

Robert Reese stopped by. He is settling in nicely. I found his glassless windows again, thanks to Ingeli :), so his house isn’t missing anything either.

As he is very experienced with shopkeeping (his parents in Windle owned Reese Grocery Store :)), I think he will employ at the Greenery. He will like working at a grocery store again.

 

 

I also visited the Weaver family, where Anne and her children live, including Louis. The apples are looking quite well, even if it just Midsummer! I found some really lovely apple trees that have a shape that’s much more real. Only thing is that they wear apples all the time. But they look great among the apple trees of the game.

 

 

Awww, isn’t he precious? This is Nick Taylor, the sweetheart of Jasmine Weaver. Jasmine has not been interested in boys earlier(unlike her twin sister), she liked it better to paint. But now this boy came along and stole her heart. They’ve courted for a while now and are going to marry in the middle of Summer.

 

 

Here we have got Katherine Meadowsweet. They upgraded their stove, walls and windows recently. I really like those windows, as they are glassless. Glass was ridiculously expensive. I wouldn’t mind having glass in my Sims’ windows, but this a lovely one too.

I see her husband, Sander, has caught fresh bass. It looks delicious on that plate.

 

 

Also at the Meadowsweet house, in the flower shop. Left to right:
1. Adam Meadowsweet, being cashier. He’s better at selling stuff, so the customers aren’t really happy with his clumsiness!
2. Jozias Green, owner of the Greenery. He bought some roses if I recall correctly.
3. Benjamin Miller. He runs the mill, is a ranger in his spare time and knows the forest like the back of his hand. His family also breeds dogs.
4. Mary-Ann Thatcher, wife to Eck Thatcher, who is a peasant with no real job.. They fish a lot, Mary-Ann has some crops to tend, and right now Eck is employed at the Taylor Shopp (Anne Weaver’s clothing store). She is a really sweet, shy woman, birthed a son and two daughters, has also had a miscarriage, but finds the strength to go on in her plants.

 

 

This is Mary Lewis’ bedroom, in the back of the wooden building behind the Chapel. From that window, she can look out over the water between the hills in Winter. When the trees bear leaves, they almost grow into her room.
It is a very tiny and dark house, but Mary wanted light wallpaper. It does look like bigger this way.

 

 

Just one floor down, her parents sleep. Sophia has a hard time not to be waken up by the earliest bells in the morning, which her husband has to ring. She can snuggle into the blankets for a little while before she also has to get up, but those bells are so loud!

They only have one child, their daughter Mary. There is no-one to hand the task of pastor to. If Jon dies (which, ofcourse, he will eventually do) Tinn will have no priest at all. That is why they are debating on taking an apprentice, for they are too old to have another child.

That apprentice could ring those bells, too, so Sophia can snuggle into the arms of her husband!

 

I found most of my cc back. Only thing I’m missing right now is the sack of potatoes you can see in the header. I think it was included in some set at Around the Sims 2 or something like it. Does anyone have a clue where to find it? I liked it. :) I’ll bake you a nice cake!
