Inheritance: Life on the Ranch (Sims3PetsStory)

I realize I haven't been active in the past year but life happens. First things first, I have no idea what happened but my images for my other challenges have disappeared. I've looked everywhere I can think of and I can't find them. Which sucks some major butt but what can you do? I've successfully upgraded from no internet at all to very spotty internet. I don't know how often I can upload or if I'll be able to finish this guy but I hope to. I was going to turn this into a video sims story but with my spotty internet it's easier to just do this. Without further ado, here is the plot to my story. Name and horse breed suggestions are very much welcome. I love to include my readers in my stories, well if I have any readers.

Story:
Emelia, is a city girl born and raised. Her mother had her when she was very young. Emelia's grandfather owned a big beautiful ranch out in the countryside. Sometimes her mother would take her to visit but she hasn't been there in many years. Emelia's mother and grandfather weren't on the best of terms so her mother kept her away from her grandfather out of spite. Emelia had always loved the country and her grandfather's horses. Her parents were always fighting and yelling at each other. One day she got a letter in the mail. Her grandfather had passed away, leaving his ranch to Emelia. Of course her mother immediately wanted to sell the place but because it belonged to Emelia she had no say in what would happen to the place. Excited Emelia dug through her drawers for a picture of the ranch. Smiling she gathered her things and took a cab out to the ranch, clutching the picture the whole ride. She hoped it was as beautiful as she remembered. Closing her eyes she could see the horses grazing in the field and her grandfather stride his prized stallion. It was then she made a promise, a promise to do all she could to care for the ranch as her grandfather had.

  • Chapter 1:
    Upon arriving at the house Emelia and her mother found themselves greeted by ranch dog, Roxy. Tami, Emelia's mother wasn't too keen on the dog. Roxy was more than happy to use the girls though. The rough collie barked for her master, letting him know they had visitors.

    "Who are you two." Came a rough, slightly annoyed voice. "You don't belong here." "I'm Emelia, my grandfather used to own this place." She explained. "Who are you?" "I'm Andrew, I was your grandfather's right had guy. Well his only guy and this big beautiful horse with me is Asterix, Henry's favorite stallion."

    "That's great and all but we don't plan on keeping this place." Tami spoke up. "I'm not selling mother and if that's why you came then you should just leave." "As entertaining as this is, I have to get him to his stall. Let me know if you guys need anything." With that, the group went their separate ways. Tami was dead set on selling the place and would do all in her power to convince Emelia to sell. It saddened Emelia to see the ranch like this. So lifeless. It only made her want to keep the place more. Later she caught up with Andrew to ask for riding lessons. "That feel fine?" Andrew asked as he adjusted the saddle straps. "Yeah, feels good." She replied nervously. "You'll be fine, Sunshine here is our calmest horse. Now just ease into it, you got this." Andrew assured her.

    Emelia spent the day practicing in the dressage arena at the ranch. Andrew was right, Sunshine was very calm and relaxed the whole ride. She knew exactly what to do and guided Emelia through the arena with ease. It wasn't long before the pair was moving in a graceful canter. Perhaps if she could get her riding skill up enough she can partake in some competitions to earn money for the ranch. Maybe Andrew could participate with her.

    Sunshine and Emelia spent days training. Tami remained cooped up in the house away from everything basically. Though Sunshine was a good horse, she wasn't an eventing horse. Emelia wanted to get into jumping but Sunshine was more of a race horse. Asterix, he was the jumping star but Emelia was scared to ride him. Asterix had a bit of a temper when it came to riding. Only her grandfather had been able to ride him. On top of that, Ali, the other mare was pregnant and due any day now. A lot was happening in the span of a few days. "There's the training duo." Andrew said. "I was about to go looking for you. I wanted to run something by you." Emelia said. "Shoot." "Well, I wanted to enter us in a few competitions to try and earn money for the ranch." "I don't ride." Andrew replied quickly. "If I learned in a few days so can you. The ran-" "I don't ride Emelia." Andrew spoke more sternly. "I'm gonna go check on Ali."
