He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books....
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....And
through the years, by keeing an ideal facial structure fixed in his
mind....Or somewhere in the back of his mind....That he might, by
force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal....The
change would be very subtle....It might take ten years or so....
Gradually his face would change its' shape....A more hooked nose...
Wider, thinner lips....Beady eyes....A larger forehead.
He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other
people....They had also molded their faced according to some
ideal....Maybe they imagined that their new face would better
suit their personality....Or maybe they imagined that their
personality would be forced to change to fit the new appear-
ance....This is why first impressions are often correct...
Although some people might have made mistakes....They may have
arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them....
They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish
whim, or momentary impulse....Some may have gotten half-way
there, and then changed their minds.
He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake.

Episode 19 – “Gregs River”
Greg Preston’s Diary 2nd of February 2726 AD
Last night I wrote a letter to “Ent Mountain Village Council” explaining that we had decided for Terry to stay for at least another season, so that we would not be able to take a new student this season. But that we expected to find a solution next year to be able to take a new one then.

Greg Preston’s Diary 4rd of February 2726 AD
I will send Terry to The Mountain Village tomorrow. I’m too old to travel that far at winter time. It will be a good last test for him to show that he is strong enough to be an adult settler. Also got some stones for him to get melted or cut at the “Ent” mines. I would like to evaluate the results before we send them to the marked.

Jenny Richards Diary 14th of January 2726 AD
I have done what I could to be more social and not stay at home alone recently. That helped a lot on my relations with everyone in the settlement, as I have been over at Greg’s much more than before. The only one in the entire settlement I do not know very well now is John Hallett
Not only has Jenny spend a lot of time at Greg’s, she also had Charles coming over a few times, now he has tried a real guitar

The type writer got stuck as the roller would no longer be moved. It was not a huge problem, I could fix it with an hour or so.

Greg Preston’s Diary 19th of February 2726 AD
Terry came back today, with a lot of new important information, I’m glad I send him.
This is what was in the letter from “Ent Mountain Village Council”:
It is fine that you can keep Terry with you, we talked and he is clearly very happy to stay. As it is It does not matter, as we have had a lot of interest in the village with family’s wanting to move to the lowlands. What we will do is make another settlement late spring. It will be somewhat similar to yours but further up the river. We will now officially name Your settlement “Gregs River” the new one “Nara Fields” after the Asian farmer family who initiated this new settlement. We expect them to use your trade station and hope you can work together well. As some of those families can also take students, we got enough space this year.
As you requested, we also got a new family to join your settlement, likely to come with the first trade caravan.
There was some aftersales from your last shipment, that we missed in our first payment. Most important a rare pair of Horned Lizzard gloves sold at 419$, the total 477$ was send with Terry.
The Stones Terry got melted or cut, resulted in this

I secretly asked Terry to get me a guitar for Charles, it is his 37th years birthday and I can’t stand to see him play in the air anymore. So many years since I had the possibility to buy a birthday present for anyone.

Charles did pick up the guitar at Jenny’s, a few “sim” minutes later he had one in his inventory and went directly to community lot to play for tips with 0 skill.
Had to reset sims aiming to pick up Chipmunks and get stuck, that made we think it was best to completely stop sims auto pick and play animals, now they can just feed them, otherwise they would die.
Can’t make the sims name and hang-up paintings otherwise this episode everything was auto
