Goth's in Moonlight Falls, Day 3 (Day 353 overall)
https://i.imgur.com/2MuQY9H.jpg
Melonie woke up Tuesday morning before anyone else did. She is the only Sim who has to leave for work in the morning, but she must've just been the one who needed the least sleep. It always seems to be random on which Sim wakes up first.

Oliver enjoyed eating leftover peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I don't always have them eat leftovers, but they have some things from Melonie's birthday party that needs used up before I have Brandon make any more food.

Melonie has been learning to play guitar. She ended up getting one for Christmas in Sunset Valley, although for her, guitar playing is more a hobby than part of her job.

In the previous update, I mentioned that Oliver was now able to make ice sculptures. He has not made enough yet to where they don't melt, but it is a start. Since I changed my normal lifespan to almost all maxed sliders, and due to being a fairy, I have a feeling that he'll get there with no issues.
My only issue is, if all my fairies live a normal fairy lifespan, that means I will only have one or two generations born in Moonlight Falls. This is because fairies have a long lifespan, and I don't want to allow more than eight Sims. I have enough problem playing more than 4 as it is. I have decided that Lily will not eat any more life fruits, and I most likely won't let Melonie eat any either. She and Oliver will probably have a child soon, which will bring the household to 8. I only plan on 500 days in Moonlight Falls at tops, and Oliver has like 200 days before he even becomes an adult, then he'd have around the same until he becomes an elder. If I need the room, though, I could always age the fairies up early. None of this is really important for those reading these updates, but I know some people like reading these kinds of things. Anyway, I got off track here, so let's continue with the update.

Once Oliver had finished and sold his sculpture, I had him go to the inventing table. The family is extremely rich, so I had him buy a bit over 1000 pieces of scrap so he'll have some for a while. He has only invented a few small things, but I want the digger thing and time machine at some point to check those off my mental list of things to do in the save.

Christa and a few others have been making great use of the gym. However, I later got rid of the stereo there because they kept driving me nuts turning it on when I didn't want it on.

All the previous things that happened in this update were before 8 AM, which is a bit surprising, as it seems the family had already done a lot in the previous hours before this pic. Melonie had her first day of work, and she ended up selecting her formal wear as her career outfit. She is currently a Snitch in Law Enforcement, although she is going the forensics route since I tend to chose the International Super Spy instead.

Jacob had slacked off on his martial arts skill, so I decided to have Brandon spar with him. Afterwards, they ended up meditating since Brandon had a wish to do so.

Lily decided to make good use of the pool. In this first week, there has been a lot I needed to have the family get done, but next time summer rolls around, I plan on throwing a pool party.

One of the nearest neighbors to the Goth's is the Van Gould's. I do remember them from previous times I've played in Moonlight Falls, but they aren't as familiar to me as some of the others. I believe the actual Goth's of Moonlight Falls live close too, although the family hasn't met them yet. Technically, my Goth's and those Goth's are related, as Samuel is Victor Goth's brother. Victor, Gunther, and Mortimer are grandfathers of Harlan Goth, who is Lily's grandfather.

To close Day 3, Oliver decided to sculpt his grandmother Lily. He didn't keep the statue as it would melt, but he might make another one later on when he learns how to make them not melt.
***I initially planned on only playing Day's 3 and 4, but ended up also playing Day's 5 and 6 as well last night. Tonight, I plan on playing at least Day 7 and 8 so that I'll have the family in fall. On Day 3, I got a message that Flora Goodfellow died already, even though the save just started. The family has gotten to know Pip and Dhalia already, but never got to meet Flora.
