One Month One World One Year Challenge 2023

Flora has been stuck on the "Reach the peak of Mt. Komorebi" part of the extreme sports enthusiast for a while now, because her rock climbing skill is still not quite where I want it to be in order to do the excursion. I decided I might as well finish up the Sightseer aspiration in the meantime, which means collecting/wishing on a forest spirit and becoming emotionally mindful.

Hiking seemed like a good way to perhaps complete both of those, but sadly all we encountered was a displeased Lily Feng.

Back on her home lot, she took one last hike before bedtime and got lucky :)

In the morning, Morgan randomly showed up on her lot and started tending her garden.

"What are you doing here?"

"My dad had to check on a few things on our rental property, so I thought I'd tag along and surprise you. Unfortunately, I'm just here for the day."

Morgan is Rory approved.

It was a gorgeous summer day, so they decided to go hiking. (And I had high hopes that Flora would become emotionally mindful and finish off this aspiration, but no luck).

Though the day was beautiful, the heat was becoming a bit unbearable. As they rested in the shade, all they could think of was the cool water of the Wakaba River.

"I've been dying to do this all day..."

"My dad's calling," Morgan sighed, checking her very waterproof phone. "I gotta go.."

Flora stayed for a bit longer, letting her body and mind properly cool off.

A bit of skill building in the evening so we can make more aspiration progress.

And then what do you know, she became emotionally mindful after doing some fishing.

Here's a few items Flora has collected. The pitbeast simmi was her first simmi, and I've never had a sim get that one before, so I decided she could keep it. That element showed up on her lot after a lightening strike, so I thought that was kind of cool so she kept it.
