Rebuilding Worlds Vol. 2

Can I just say I LOVE the fact that the Greene's seem to be a favorite right now and yet everyones stories is still different in ways? You can really see people's difference in playstyle and approach to the game itself! I love all the nuances and seeing the different styles! ♥

I've styled my founder couple (no spoilers yet though!) but I've not yet started on the house.. I didn't have time yet. I hope maybe after work today I could start on it!

@Mionax - Yes, the boys are totally triplets :heart: Silas aged up in my game and still looks very similar to @JordanNicoleJJ 's Haven. I'm curious if Givonanni will have their same look as a child too. I love your shots of Iris and Aiyden posing together. I usually take pictures of my families to hang on their walls but I totally forgot this generation. So thank you for reminding me! Aw, poor little Giovanni wanted to be an only child. I'm sure he'll warm up to his sister. I love the name Nylah, and she's so cute! I'm glad she got her Mom's green eyes. :)

@Rawla - Howdy do to you too :lol: It's good to see you again! :heart: Awww look at your Greene founders! The hair with the feathers in it is perfect for Iris! And I really like how different your Aiyden looks from mine. Plus their house!! At first I was the only one who built floorplan B, but now there's 3 of us :mrgreen: It looks great! I can't believe you were able to build it within the budget! That's something I didn't even wanna attempt lol. RIP to the breadsticks and their stove :lol: To answer your question, yes I think everyone kept their same aspirations.

@Rhythrin - Right?? I love seeing how differently everyone styles the same sims and essentially their houses too. It's really fun to see. I can't wait for you to start. I hope you can start on their house after work :smiley:

@OJenn - Yesss I was so excited to see your Greene's were ready to start a family. They seemed to have fertility issues in my game too! It just makes it more exciting when they finally get that positive test :blush: Aiyden's reaction was awesome. Iris definitely earned her relaxation time. Apparently Iris and Aiyden knew something you didn't about the hospital staff :lol: My Iris got stuck at the hospital during birth too... I wonder if it's a bug with the latest update. Anyway, you got my 2 for 1 deal! :joy: It's awesome that you got a boy and a girl :heart: And I can't believe you named the boy Atlas. I was hoping for twins and had planned to name Silas' twin Atlas! I guess the stork just delivered him to an alternate universe lol. Great update! I'm excited to see what you do with their nursery.

@JordanNicoleJJ - It's pretty cool that the thread is so active :smile: Did you actually have time to prep for D&D, or did you find yourself pulled back into the sims? I can't lie, as soon as you posted there was a spoiler in your family tree I totally went and looked :lol: I'm dying for your next update. Anyway, phew, I'm super relieved you actually wanted the knitting pack lol! Maybe one of the Greene's can take it up in their old age or something. omg please do not get my hopes up about a baby stage rework :grimace: I need it! Man I really hope that's what it is. It's the only explanation I'll accept for my baby skins not working. I'm gonna spam the crap outta the nurture option on the bug box next time I play. Aiyden's been stuck on that part of his aspiration literally his whole life :lol:

@debjameswhite - Aw :heart: I was really happy to see you built floorplan B. I love having something to compare mine to :smiley: Your title fits the house perfectly. You did a much better job at proportioning the house to the lot then I did. I love that there's enough room in the lawn for a garden. My house literally takes up the whole lot :joy: Your kitchen and dining area look so good! You laid it out really nicely. I like that you kept the pink walls in Lia's master bedroom. I wouldn't have thought to combine some of the furniture items but it looks really good. The kids rooms, and patio are also some of my fav spaces. I'm definitely looking forward to Lia moving in. :blush:

Chapter 2: A Stranger

The next morning, Lia fed the handsome stranger then asked the obvious questions. “OK so what happened to you? Why are you here? Who were those guys? How dare you put me and my daughter in danger?”
https://puu.sh/GcLvG.png

The stranger introduced himself. His name was Heath and that was probably all she wanted to know. He was very sorry for dragging her into his mess. He didn’t even remember coming to her house. If she would just let him use her computer he’d be gone by the end of the day.
https://puu.sh/GcLwD.png

“Fine.” Lia sighed as she pushed over a pile of clothes she had taken from her father. “I got you these, you’re other clothes were ruined. You still have a fever.” Her brow furrowed with concern.

“A hat?” he asked smiling as he examined everything she'd given him.

She shrugged, “You need a disguise.” He smiled again nodding his agreement. Then she just stared at him without realizing it. Well, he was nice to stare at.
https://puu.sh/GcMea.png

To make up for the trouble he caused Heath took care of some things he saw that needed attention while she was at work.
He fixed the refrigerator.
https://puu.sh/GcMMf.png

He fixed the toilet
https://puu.sh/GcMOJ.png

He even did laundry. Lia wasn’t sure she appreciated that one.
https://puu.sh/GcMPq.png

She did appreciate the uninterrupted time to work. She loved it.
https://puu.sh/GcMSm.png

She had 3 beautiful arrangements for the day and she sold all of them.
https://puu.sh/GcMSU.png

Heath came out to see if she would come in for lunch.
https://puu.sh/GcMVt.png

She agreed and they had a long conversation. She was kicking herself for liking him as much as she did. She knew he was trouble!
https://puu.sh/GcMX7.png

Afterwards, she convinced him to take a nap. She was really worried about his injuries.
https://puu.sh/GcMY4.png

Finally though he was on her computer and within an hour, he was gone.
https://puu.sh/GcMZ2.png

@Heckstress17 ty! I think Giovanni and Nylah will get along famously once they get to know each other better.
@debjameswhite Your story has me hooked. I am eager to read what happens next.

@debjameswhite - Great update! I like how Lia questioned Heath about everything, and don't blame her one bit for her wandering eye :wink: It was sweet of her to think of getting him a disguise, and sweet of him to fix up things around the house. Your comment about him doing the laundry was funny. Maybe he saw some things he liked :lol: Anyway, I love that she's selling her flower arrangements at the marketplace. omg look at that awesome picture wall behind Heath while he's napping :love: I hope he returns soon!



I know nobody asked for them, but I love styling my sims and making different outfits lol so here's some of my current favs of the kids.
https://i.imgur.com/IF5jc9g.jpg

Taking pics of Silas' outfits made me realize he must really love those basketball shorts.
https://i.imgur.com/s3yHvRx.jpg

And Fawn was harder to style since toddler stuff is limited, but I like her little orange socks, and her winter outfit is my fav :smile:
https://i.imgur.com/g7CNHgi.jpg

And I realized I forgot to post CAS shots of the kids. So here's those. I think Silas is adorable, and seems to take more after his Mom with his facial structure. With Fawn it's just to early to tell.
https://i.imgur.com/xp1lZzS.jpg

Anyway I hope everyone gets a chance to play since it's the weekend. I need my update fix! :heart:

Update time!! :smiley: I'll comment after.

Rebuild Evergreen Harbor: Gen 1

Evergreen Harbor has changed a lot since the Greenes moved in. With summer came lots of sporadic rain showers.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a1.png

It was fitting, because the mood was fairly gloomy in the Greene household. Unfortunately, they had a loss in the family. They got so busy with work, Haven's birthday, and preparing for their second child's birth that they forgot to feed the cowplant for too long. RIP Bowie, you will be missed :bawling: :heartbreak:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a2.png

Thankfully, Iris went into labor, and their grief was quickly replaced with joy...or panic...panicked joy :lol:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a3.png

https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a4.png

The Greenes welcomed a beautiful baby girl to the world, Eden Greene. I wanted a boy and a girl this generation, and I got them, so this will be the last nooboo for Aiyden & Iris. It's a little bittersweet.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a5.png

Iris definitely wanted a girl -- she wasn't all that involved in raising Haven, but was at Eden's side constantly. Her maternal side finally outweighed her lazy side lol.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a6.png

Haven got his "big kid" room makeover and lots of new toys to keep him entertained while Aiyden and Iris needed to give more attention to the new baby. He didn't complain one bit -- he was too busy training his voidcritters to care :tongue:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a7.png

https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a8.png

"Woo, new high score!" or whatever the kids say these days :lol:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a9.png

He also made lots of friends at school. This kid, Ulysses, traded him a really cool voidcritter card, so he invited him over to battle voidcritters after school.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a10.png

Ulysses turned out to have some serious anger issues though :unamused: I don't think he's the best influence for Haven to be around, but the aspiring social butterfly needs friends for his aspiration, so whatever.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a11.png

Also, if I didn't know better, I'd totally think Aiyden had an affair with a townie, and this kid was the result :lol:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a12.png

Eventually it was time for baby Eden to grow up & out of the bassinet! :smiley:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a13.png

And here she is!! :love: She got Aiyden's hair color and eye color like Haven, but she has a slightly darker skin tone than Haven. She has a different eye shape and lip shape than Haven though, so those must come from her mama :smile:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a14-1.png

And here's all of her adorable outfits! She aged up with those rain boots, and I just had to keep them. I like doing these outfit tours, because you guys wouldn't see like 90% of these outfits otherwise :lol:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a15.png

Here she is striking a pose post-makeover like the little model she is :love: I love Haven, but man, Eden's giving him a run for his money...
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a16.png

She also got the Inquisitive trait, and she loooves learning her flashcards with mama.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a18.png

She also loves playing with her big brother. This pic totally reminds me of the end of Toy Story 3 when Andy was telling Bonny about all of his toys - "This is Snowball, and she's an evil super villain who wants to knock over all of the block towers in the world! Mwahahaha!!"
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a17.png

My favorite part is that she totally inherited Iris' lazy side. @Heckstress17 "lazy" might be my passed down trait too :lol: Eden always passes out in the high chair after dinner, then wakes up hours later when someone remembers they left her in the high chair with the biggest yawn. So cute.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a19.png

I finally got my sims out of the house for a family fun day. They decided to walk down to the community center and check on the community garden that Iris convinced the neighborhood to start forever ago lol.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a20.png

It ended up working out perfectly, as they all had different reasons to go out - Iris needed signatures to repeal an old NAP (replacing Self-Sufficiency with Green Gardening), and Aiyden wanted to bond with Eden on his day off.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a21.png

Haven took the opportunity to make some new friends. Despite me downloading a bunch of families from the gallery so I'd have more kids in my game, there was only one kid there, but at least it was a pretty girl :wink:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a22.png

They don't get out of the house a lot (I really need to build some community lots :grimace: ), but they do spend a lot of time together! Haven is doing great in school thanks to Aiyden & Iris' help with his projects, and Eden is always nearby watching & learning too :smile:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a23.png

She's much more of the "inquisitive" kid I was expecting the first time around lol. She's also an extremely easy toddler, keeping herself occupied most of the time.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a24.png

Since Eden is so independent, Aiyden had a lot more free time and started making candles. I can't wait to decorate with them!
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a25.png

https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a26.png

Time flies on normal life span, and it was already Aiyden's adult birthday. Iris made him a special honey cake with honey from their own bee box :smile:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a27.png

Iris is quite a bit younger than him (thanks, two pregnancies lol), but she was there to support him like the loving wife she is :heart:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a28.png

I don't know what he did to make her make this face...but it couldn't have been good :grimace: :joy:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a29.png

Here he is with his adult makeover, and the garden got a makeover too! They've been working so hard, they decided to splurge a bit on some outdoor furniture and better landscaping.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a30.png

That's not all that's changing around Evergreen Harbor though. Thanks to all of Aiyden's hard work in civil engineering, the city is far, far more beautiful than it used to be! More and more people are moving to Evergreen Harbor every day now.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a31.png

https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a32.png

https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a33.png

Haven's growing up so fast. He's a straight-A student, the most popular kid in school, and he has the confidence to match! (Also check out all that amazing landscaping :sunglasses: :joy: )
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a34.png

He's also officially the best big brother ever. Or at least Eden thinks so :blush:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a35.png

Eden's growing up fast too. She's on the move constantly, looking for a family member to watch & learn from.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a36.png

She likes to watch dad work in his office. It's probably really not safe to have a toddler around the dangerously temperamental fabricator and other strange, heavy machinery... :lol:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a37.png

But Haven's still her favorite person. Haven's definitely getting older though. He invited his friend from the community garden, Suri, to come over and play voidcritters (which she's super into. Coolest girl ever.) and he was a little embarrassed by his little sister lingering around :tongue:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a38.png

He took Suri outside to be alone look at the clouds. He totally has a little crush on her :blush:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a39.png

It was only a matter of time before curious Eden found them and crashed the party :lol: But Suri had to go home anyway, so Haven hugged her goodbye and promised his sister wouldn't hang around as much next time :tongue:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a40.png

He was right, because it was time for Eden to age up and make her own friends!
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a41.png

She. Is. Perfect. Omg I love her so much!!! She also rolled the Social Butterfly aspiration (this game is trying to make me rage quit lol) and the Cheerful trait. It's pretty fitting, I think. She got Iris' lip shape, and I THINK her eye shape? I can't tell which kid has which parent's eye shape tbh, but I know they're different :lol: I also gave her Iris' freckles. I really need that 'inheritable freckles' mod that someone in the old forum was using, because I always forget about them!
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a42.png

She's gonna be the most popular girl in school (obvi *insert hair flip emoji*), so I tried to give her a little bit more mature, "popular girl" stylish style. I love all of her outfits except formal lol. But what kid ever uses their formal outfit anyway :tongue:
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a43.png

https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a44.png

BOTH kids got complete room makeovers too, because they had the spare simoleons, and these kids deserve to be spoiled. Eden's room is very girly with lots of make-up, nail polish, etc. I also gave her some knitting stuff, because it's really cute decor, but Idk if she'll actually knit. We'll see.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a45.png

https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a46-1.png

Haven's new room fits his personality a little better I think. More mature, neutral colors with a few pops of cool colors. He still has his posters, toys, and school projects though. I'm sure those will get replaced as he develops new interests as a teen.
https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a47-1.png

https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/a48-1.png

@Rhythrin I love it too! I think it's even more fun seeing how everyone plays the same sims in their own styles, than it was when we made founders. It's emphasizes everyone's "style" even more. Ahh the anticipation is killing me. I can't wait to see what your sims & house look like!!

@Heckstress17 Er I sorta had time to prep D&D... :sweat_smile: I did the bare minimum, which got me by lol. But my main group is taking a week off since a few people will be out of town, so I get more time to play sims this week, yay! Also, when is an update ever TOO big??? There's just no such thing. Aw poor Iris...quit her job to be with Silas, and Silas doesn't even want her :frowning: That's kinda how it was in my game too though tbh. What is it with the first born just loooving moody Aiyden?? :lol: I'm hopeful for baby #2 though - as soon as I saw that I was like, "I bet she gets a girl, and I bet she bonds with Iris." Because that's exactly what happened in my game lol. Man, the hospital must be broken again. I rarely send my sims to the hospital anymore, because it seems broken every time I go :tongue: But she's home and had a girl!! Yes!! Fawn is such a perfect name :smile: Awww I love that Silas was happy about getting a sibling! It's so cute when the siblings love each other. Omg, Silas is SUCH a cutie! Did he get Iris' lips?? It looks like it in his aging-up pic. His trait & aspiration match, at least! Rambunctious Scamp is pretty easy to knock out with the athletic trait. I love his messy room lol. Clutter really makes a room, imo (I say as I have like no clutter in most of my rooms :lol: ). Thanksgiving was perfect, especially all the decorations. Finally -- a kid with Iris' hair color! The rarest of unicorns so far lol. Oh my gosh, Aiyden why??? He's such a grouch in your game! :lol: At least big bro is there for her :blush: The pic of Fawn still hugging him after he let go is the most precious thing I've ever seen lol. Silas is seriously so cute though. I have no idea how you're going to pick an heir. I have no idea how I'M going to pick an heir. We done messed up -- they're all too cute!! YAY OUTFIT TOURS!! Okay, Silas' outfits are too cute. My favs are his winter outfit and his everyday with the blue beanie, white shirt, basketball shorts etc. Fawn's winter is totally my fav too, but her pjs are super cute too. That tank and those pants work perfectly together! Woah were did Fawn's bright green eyes come from? CC eyes I presume? So comparing genetics to my kids, Fawn looks like she has Iris' lips and nose, and Aiyden's eye shape, ? eye color or Iris' maybe if cc color. Silas got Iris' eye shape and lips, and Aiyden's nose and eye color. No idea on the face shape though - that's too hard to tell 'til they're teens.

@debjameswhite I got some answers and soooooo many more questions. Heath is so helpful and good looking and ahhh :love: Don't ask questions, just marry him ok Lia? :lol: Nooooo Heath come back!! Arrrg I need another update already!!

@Heckstress17 Silas and Fawn are very cute. I love your wardrobe pictures. The picture of Fawn hugging Silas melted my heart.
@JordanNicoleJJ Eden is perfect. I liked the big-kids room. The wardrobe pics you shared are good too.


@Heckstress17 & @JordanNicoleJJ The rules stated the parents needed to pass on a skill, not a trait. @OJenn I'm uncertain if this was intended though? Great updates the both of you. I love that both of you had girls for your second kid just as I did. :smile:

@Heckstress17 Poor Iris quitting her job for Silas and he's a daddy boy! It's nice to see Aiyden being a good day. Aww poor Iris feeling so sick during her entire pregnancy. Good thing Aiyden stepped up for his honey! Awww poor Iris passing out at the end of her pregnancy. haha really Aiyden? You want to flirt now? I've been having problems at the hospital lately too. I've just been staying home. I think I'll try again though when Lia and Heath finally have nooboos. hehe poor Aiyden he does look like he is thinking "Wait!! Where are you going??" Wow! two single births!! Amazing!! Congrats on getting one of each and a toddler happy about a new sibling! It's awesome! I thought the window was a picture at first and I was wondering what picture it was from and then i realized those were the waterfalls. Oh wow, what a cutie he is! I can't wait to see what he looks like as a teen! So far so good on the traits! I love his room. You always do such a great job decorating. Fawn is such a cutie! I love her hair. OH Aiyden. I meant to remind people about that hot headed trait. I hate it for just that reason. Poor little Fawn. Why do they always have to take it out on the dollhouse? Aww look at Silas with his little sister. It's so adorable! Yay big brother! It's nice to see Aiyden actually knows what you are supposed to do with a dollhouse. I don't blame you for favoring him. He is such a cutie and I forgot this was the wildcard generation! I can't wait to see who's out there in my game!! hehe I don't think I've had a wildcard in forever!! I'm so glad you shared the styled pics. I love seeing the outfits.

@JordanNicoleJJ I'm so sorry about losing Bowie. They have other babies they need to focus on I guess. Hooray congrats on your baby girl! I love that name. I like Haven's big boy room. Haha I love your caption on his excited game face! Haha I was thinking the same thing about Ulysses as you! Aiyden? Can you comment? Awww Eden is a little cutie too and look at her adorable outfits! Ooo your community gargen looks so nice! Oh that's a good idea to get some gallery families. Especially with the wildcard mate in our future. I like his adult makeover. Haha poor Haven being embarrassed by his little sister. It's so cute thinking he has a little crush on Suri. Eden aged up so cute! I love her. I love her hair and her outfits are adorable. I love both of their rooms, they're so good!

@Mionax @Heckstress17 @JordanNicoleJJ @OJenn The skill was intended, but I totally think it's ok if you want to pass on a trait as well. I know I'm planning for all my heirs to be gardeners because I need them to but I'm also think "loves the outdoors" might be a trait I pass along too. The intention though was to pass on a "hobby/skill".
