    Rebuild Evergreen Harbor: Gen 2

    Haven and Suri decided they didn't want a big wedding -- just parents and siblings -- mostly because they were going to use Haven's big signing bonus to fly everyone out to beautiful Sulani for the ceremony! They paid a local wedding planner to get everything ready, and a beautifully decorated beach was waiting for them when they got off the plane.
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/1-4.png

    The ceremony went flawlessly, and they timed it just right to have a gorgeous sunset in all of the wedding photos.
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/2-3.png

    Mr. and Mrs. Haven Greene, everybody! :heart:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/3-3.png

    Now -- time to kick off the reception with cake! :smiley:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/4-3.png

    "Cake?! I want cake!!" This little cutie is Ana, Eden's plus-one :blush:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/5-3.png

    The only thing Ana loves more than cake is grandma Iris! (Probably cause she knows grandma will get her cake. :lol: )
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/6-3.png

    Suri's mom did not bring a plus-one, thankfully -- we didn't need that kind of family drama at the wedding :tongue: She already almost started something when she sat with Haven's family instead of Suri's at the ceremony :sweat_smile:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/8-3.png

    But she was surprisingly well-behaved (for once lol). She even made peace with her ex-husband over a glass of wine. (That's Suri's dad and little brother, by the way. I don't think I've introduced them yet.)
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/9-3.png

    Speaking of well-behaved, I was a little worried about having a toddler at the wedding, but Ana was perfect! Turns out she has the Independent trait, and she was content to play in the sand by herself while her mom got wine drunk the adults celebrated :smile:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/10-3.png

    After several drinks, Suri asked Haven to dance :smirk:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/11-3.png

    He totally surprised me -- he actually had some moves! (And in the background, you can see a wine-drunk Eden making a fool of herself at the bar as her mini-me runs away in embarrassment :lol: )
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/12-3.png

    Suri was feeling it :smirk: can we please talk about how gorgeous she is?? i love her so much :bawling:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/14-3.png

    After their dance, they called it a night and stumbled down the beach toward their home-away-from-home to continue the party...alone :wink:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/15-3.png

    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/16-3.png

    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/17-3.png

    They woke up with the sun, full of energy. They wanted to do as much as possible before Haven has to go home to start his new job. Nothing was open yet, so they spent the early morning exploring the water near their vacation home.
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/19-3.png

    The reefs were beautiful, but it was even more special because several dolphins were playing nearby! Haven, a self-proclaimed "child of the ocean," was in heaven. Now he just has to convince Suri to leave behind her friends, family, and the fate of Evergreen Harbor, and move here instead :lol:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/20-3.png

    I think she could get on board with moving to Sulani someday -- after they've raised a family and made a difference in Evergreen Harbor. (I think I just figured out their retirement plan lol.)
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/21-3.png

    Around mid-morning, they hopped on the provided jet skiis and sped over to the spa for massages :sunglasses:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/22-3.png

    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/23-3.png

    They're ready to start a family now, so Suri got a really expensive but supposedly effective "fertility massage."
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/24-3.png

    Haven opted for a deep tissue massage...which honestly just looked really, really painful :lol:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/25-3.png

    Apparently his masseuse was still in training and had no idea what she was doing. In Haven's words, "Worst massage ever." :grimace:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/26-3.png

    They spent the rest of the morning relaxing in the sauna, trying to undo the damage his massage caused. I'd say it worked lol.
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/27-3.png

    Their "busy" morning wore them out, so they went home for a nice afternoon nap. That's the life right there :relieved:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/28-3.png

    The woke up tan and hungry, so they wandered in search of food until they found a local was grilling up some pork in a shack on the beach.
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/29-3.png

    Haven brought up moving to Sulani for the hundredth time that day, and Suri finally agreed -- but only when they're old and retired and have nothing better to do. That was enough to shut him up for now at least :lol:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/30-3.png

    They had one last stop on their itinerary -- a brand new, open-air tiki bar on the volcanic island. What could possibly go wrong? :lol:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/31-3.png

    Haven showed off some more of his "sweet dance moves" :tongue: They both gained a level in the dancing skill, which satisfied the random skill day "holiday" lol. Also, I used @OJenn 's randomizer to roll a random hobby (skill) for him, and he got dancing, so props to me for actually trying to improve on that skill lol.
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/32-3.png

    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/33-3.png

    The dance floor got pretty crowded, so they headed down to the beach and tried their hand at "fire dancing." They were just casually amazing at it on their first try :tongue:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/34-3.png

    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/35-3.png

    At this point, Suri spotted a pretty waterfall in the distance and convinced Haven to go check it out with her...
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/36-3.png

    When did she get so adventurous?? She used to be so shy and innocent. Now she's a world-traveling, deep-diving, fire-dancing explorer :joy:
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/37-3.png

    Haven just melts in her hands. (I get it, bro. I love her too.)
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/38-2.png

    They stayed up late to enjoy what little time they had left in Sulani. Haven didn't want to think about going home. He was home -- he had everything he needed right here.
    https://rebuildwillowcreekrotation.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/40-3.png

    But deep down he knew they couldn't stay. He needs to get to work...because they're going to need a nursery soon! :smiley:

    @JordanNicoleJJ Incredible wedding photos! I love that you went to a new neighborhood for the event. I didn't think to do that. (Spoiler: It rained) Poor Haven has to go home to Smog-ville and leave paradise behind. For now. Nooboo on the way!

    Hey lovelies! I logged on to update and saw I had 51 messages to go through, what a treat!
    So let me get right to it, I'll update after~

    @debjameswhite Oh woah I see a few familiair faces in your townies! It'll be fun seeing them interact with your current household. I love how good Heath is with Hailey! Not all stepfathers are as attentive as he is. I love the names, Weston and Sawyer, they're a cute set of toddlers! As for Hailey, she's a beate! I love that ping pong table, what pack does it come with? I don't think I have it in my game... Haha I love the mother daughter yoga bonding! They look like they're having fun. Aww congrats on the fox, I've never had a fox as a pet! OHHHH CONGRATS ON MERCURY AND SOL... They're so cute!!!

    @Francisca464 Aww I'm sorry to see Iris isn't having a great time in your first couple simdays. I hope she settles in soon enough. Haha Bob from accounting, I love the name. :') Ohh she looks so in her element with the bees, it's nice to see them both getting used to their new surroundings. Oh yeah, I don't know what that whole prank thing is about, either, but it feels like some sort of broken mechanic to me.. Aww come one Aiyden, don't be a sourplum on loveday!! How romantic, ending a lovely date with dumpster woohoo. You're right though, the cuddle at the end certainly is cute!

    @Wentcrazy Woah! I love your version of the Greene's. It's amazing to see how different they all turned out to be in everyones saves! I love Iris hairstyle(s), en Aiyden's too! I'm happy you joined us, I'm eager to find out more in your game. :blush: Ooooh I love the exterior of your house! I'm kind of bad with rustique modern myself, but you seem to nail it! I love the layout of your house too, I'm excited to see how you'll decorate it! Poor Aiyden, not being in his element yet must be hard for the guy. It's good him and Iris both found jobs quick though!

    @IllusoryThrall Ooooh your kitchen looks neat! I love the black mixed with terracotta, very unique. Haha, and straight into dumpster diving, I do love that we can recycle and use the bits for our projects though! How cool that Aiyden found a coffeemaker! I do hope Iris and Aiyden will get along eventually, lol :wink: Aww they're getting married!? How cute!!! Oh no, I hope Aiyden stays well away from Moo...

    @OJenn I think Jade will be an amazing student! The dog is a cutie, too, I hope him and Atlas get along. Lol, Aiyden certainly can do every activity in an angry mood, I hope there's at least SOME things that calm him down? I wonder who that lady is that's making those de-stress drinks? I've never seen her before.... Poor Jade, not having the best time around loveday. Ohh, what a handy tool for finding out the right degree, I'll definitely use it. Both Atlas and Jade are total stunners as young adults!

    @Mionax Ohhh what a cute house for Mariam, I love your layout and take on the floorplan. Mariam seems to do a lot better on her own indeed, planting plants, playing piano, trying spicy foods and the bubble blower... etc. She's having a blast! The house is so cute! How nice of Ashton to give his sister the bigger space. How nice of Knox to show up, I swear he's a delight in every game, he's just such a friendly sim. Aleksy seems like a mysterious but friendly type.. How nice of Mariam to give him a key! I hope she's not too trusting of strangers though,.. He seems to return her feelings for him, which is lovely to see! How cute that they're boyfriend and girlfriend now!

    @JordanNicoleJJ Ohhh yay! I'm so glad to see Haven and Suri moved in together. Ughhh they're total cuties. Ahh Suri sounds like such a sweet girl. She's gonna knock it outta the park as a mom, I'm sure. I LOVE the cat outfit. Those new year shots are so cute, I really should start playing more with the season events myself, too. Oof, steamy shots in the jacuzzi. I love how Suri looks into the camera there, that's a cute shot! Your marketplace looks really neat and bustling with activity, I'm glad Suri and her family had a lot of fun doing karaoke. Oh no, SMOG in Willow Creek!? The shot looks cool though, but I can understand how it would put a damper on things for them. Their dinner date was really nice, and I'm glad it also ended with a 'happy ending' for the both of them :tongue:. Congrats on Haven's graduation! I loved the beach wedding!! They look so happy and the ceremony was beautiful. Sulani is a great place to have a beach wedding~ And you're right, Suri keeps surprising me with her beauty. They're gonna make such beautiful babies! :love: Their honeymoon is one of my dreams, it looks so relaxing and soothing. YESSS a bump! I'm so excited to see their nooboos~

    Thanks for the lovely updates guys! I'll go make one myself now~

    Update 2: baby time!

    At first I thought Luana seemed to enjoy her pregnancy, she was always smiling, even after work.
    https://i.imgur.com/Rpma7hw.png

    Manu also seemed to look forward to parenthood. He was dumpster diving in the areas nearby with a big goofy grin on his face.
    https://i.imgur.com/Nd5ZIR9.png

    After that he went to play some games. And can I just say he makes the best expressions :lol:
    https://i.imgur.com/iOolcXq.png

    But after a day or two, Luana got sick every. single. morning.
    https://i.imgur.com/TOHPnbG.png

    She gave me a very displeased look, lol.
    https://i.imgur.com/T2YPHx0.png

    Manu spent most of his free time working on recycling and fabricating.
    https://i.imgur.com/M7Z8byt.png
    https://i.imgur.com/cOQx35v.png

    Luana usually followed him into their makerspace garage to do her own little side projects. She's been wanting to make fizz out of their homegrown fruits!
    https://i.imgur.com/MNeIVMG.png

    I'm glad to say Luana wasn't sick during the day, and returned to her happy smiling self, especially when she saw Manu around.
    https://i.imgur.com/lNlOZ9T.png

    Manu had a little mishap with his fabricator. He was really sad!
    https://i.imgur.com/0asYWfe.png

    Luckily, our first batch of Fizz was just done!
    https://i.imgur.com/f3X0ogE.png

    Look how cute! This is a strawberry batch.
    https://i.imgur.com/SYmR0Nr.png

    So how to cheer up a sad Manu? Here's the instructions:
    https://i.imgur.com/Y0r7nRZ.png
    https://i.imgur.com/AJDFlNe.png
    https://i.imgur.com/sKrDrzF.png
    Worked like a treat!
    https://i.imgur.com/xsHNoVh.png


    Luana's bump has gotten progressively bigger now.
    https://i.imgur.com/t6ntk7i.png

    Manu was excited about their little boy or girl to join them soon.
    https://i.imgur.com/4pqFnyA.png

    Luana about had it with the morning sickness though.
    https://i.imgur.com/D5LkN5M.png

    On the last couple days of her pregnancy she was in a lot of discomfort.
    Oh yeah, you'll be seeing Luana in her swimmingwear a LOT, she needs to swim daily to stay hydrated and I usually don't bother with changing her into something else, because I've tried that and well,.. They couldn't keep up with laundry.
    https://i.imgur.com/0T9aJuP.png

    And before I knew it, Luana went into labour!
    https://i.imgur.com/O7wIFLH.png
    Manu was panicking in the background, but I forgot to take a shot..
    https://i.imgur.com/cGUxpUe.png

    And there she is! Meet their little girl Aleyne! ♥
    https://i.imgur.com/YqXhmh9.png

    They look so happy to finally meet her.
    https://i.imgur.com/hDjxRyd.png

    Soon the baby started crying for food, but Manu persisted on holding her first.
    https://i.imgur.com/h3UIp7d.png

    He went for a kiss but Aleyne wasn't having any of it! That resulted in this hilarious shot.
    https://i.imgur.com/iW3o68p.png

    I went with a vibrant blue and yellow theme for this room, but as Aleyne grows I'll probably be evolving it to much more muted colours.
    https://i.imgur.com/Y5SxVCw.png

    Look how lovingly Luana holds her little girl. She's going to be an amazing mom I bet.
    https://i.imgur.com/nGeDWgI.png

    Luana also got a beebox and some flowers to keep the bees busy. (I think snapdragon looks the most like lavender so I went with those.)
    https://i.imgur.com/tzI0dm1.png

    Now that Luana wasn't pregnant anymore, she tried some of her second batch of Fizz, grape!
    https://i.imgur.com/XomV8fw.png

    Luana and Manu have been autonomously embracing and flirting after the birth of their girl lately.
    https://i.imgur.com/rTU9wEx.png

    Their growing family only seems to make them grow fonder of each other.
    https://i.imgur.com/Y8WILR9.png

    And before I knew it..
    https://i.imgur.com/NFHROf5.png

    They were up to some trouble.
    https://i.imgur.com/ymeoKfd.png

    The morning after, she seemed to be sick again....
    https://i.imgur.com/6irA3ha.png

    But she still went to work, and after work Manu and her were still holding to their ritualy of chatting and dining together.
    https://i.imgur.com/cpdHRGH.png

    Just after Luana took care of Aylene, she got the notification that she was eating for two again!
    https://i.imgur.com/SLxOK5n.png

    I didn't take a screenshot of the confetti, but she rushed to Manu to go tell him.
    https://i.imgur.com/ybZMOxO.png

    "So, uhm, I know it's only been a couple weeks since the birth of Aylene but.. we're expecting...again!!!"
    https://i.imgur.com/XJvunL4.png

    Manu was upset at first.
    https://i.imgur.com/kkiNlkJ.png

    But I secretly think he's just as thrilled to have their family growing fast. Luana seemed relieved.
    https://i.imgur.com/mQWCINg.png

    Meepsy was still getting attention too, he's been happily frolicking about in his cage.
    https://i.imgur.com/87WQhSh.png

    Luana is the first sim who I remember has been so morningsick during her pregnancy.
    https://i.imgur.com/775AfSh.png

    It takes a good portion of her morning sulking.
    https://i.imgur.com/pkVaKJf.png

    Manu always seems to be aple to cheer her up though.
    https://i.imgur.com/E5y2rDK.png

    Luana's bees love their snapdragon lavender garden, and Luana herself is quite pleased, too.
    https://i.imgur.com/WXlY0WO.png

    Even if Luana is taking a nap, Manu stays nearby.
    https://i.imgur.com/LfrwHgv.png

    After her nap she joined him in playing some chess.
    https://i.imgur.com/03UC37e.png

    And here he is giving Meepsy some much needed attention!
    https://i.imgur.com/yMqwMEZ.png

    Then one night, it was time.
    https://i.imgur.com/lCBXlh8.png

    They just about finished the new room for their next nooboo, as Luana went into labour.
    https://i.imgur.com/fS9y0ra.png

    A boy this time! Meet little Kadri. :blush:
    https://i.imgur.com/gBuUPCc.png

    I know things seem to be going fast in this update. But I've been playing a ton and not making as much pictures so this has been at least 4 simweeks of playing or so, but little Aylene was already growing up to be a toddler!
    https://i.imgur.com/ITU7nQB.png

    She seems to have her dads skintone and her moms hair.
    https://i.imgur.com/buA2lDD.png

    She's a cutie, even when she's sad because she's sleepy.
    https://i.imgur.com/xTEDL9J.png

    That's it for now, I'm gonna go back and play a bunch more, LOL. I need to get used to taking more pictures, as now I feel it seems like I've been rushing through the game. I've really not,... I think? Eh, either way, I'm having fun and that's what counts most :)

    So I was in the middle of writing comments...and kittens. Of course they are into everything and they are stressing my dogs who don't know what they are and my mother's cat has decided I'm satan but they're so cute and sweet so it's ok that they have walked across my computer a million times and shut it down three times and now deleted my comments. It's all good. Let's try again. This took me all morning. It's lunch time now. Thank you Mercury and Sol!!

    @OJenn I really hope there is something between Jade and Jordan! I would love to see them together. In the picture of Jade and Atlas hugging I really noticed the kitchen and how much I liked the decorating. Then Jade's little thought bubble just made me laugh. She looks so cute. I really like this randomizer. There are some things I just wouldn't try otherwise so I'm looking forward to it. Even just that I used it for Heath was awesome. It gave me a great story! I can't believe the kids didn't get any scholarships! Are you going to send Jade to university? I still shudder when I think about our last experiences there! Amaya and Atlas together makes me happy too! Your game is so perfect right now!

    @Mionax Aww I love that Ashton is a knitter. The house tour is great. You did a really good job. Haha! Good job with the plumbob! I wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't said anything!. Oh I have had that scary invitation too but I don't think I ever went...maybe I did? Can't wati to see how it goes. Weee! I get to see right now! Poor Ashton! You're right, for being so miserable he looks pretty happy. It's nice to see the siblings working so well together. I wish they had a nice upright piano in sims. I would like something in the middle of keyboard and grand piano. I'm sure this will work out fine, but I'm terrified that Mariam gave a homeless guy on on the docks a key to her house. Awww I feel bad she was embarrassed about being stinky. Alek was good to not notice. Awww see I knew it would work out ok. They're very cute together. Nice find!

    @IllusoryThrall I'm sad and enthralled at the same time about Iris and Aiyden's relationship. At least one of them is having fun at the community center. Poor Iris she looks so miserable. OH hooray! Not only are they friendly, but they had a first kiss! Hooray!! I think it's sweet that Iris helps Aiyden find things I love that they moved to the next level and their date was mostly sweet :) Poor Aiyden though getting spaghetti for dinner! Oh my gosh we went from not even liking each other to a proposal! I love it.

    @JordanNicoleJJ I'm glad to hear your boyfriend is going to be OK. Glad it wasn't covid! Curses MCC! hehe Oh well, I'm sure they'll still make nice babies :)

    OOOOO destination wedding! I love it!! Wow, they almost look like they're holding hands! I love the picture of Iris with Ana. So sweet. Awww I love this wedding so much! Yes we can talk about how gorgeous she is!! Where did you get her? What did you do for this? Did you temporarily move them to Sulani for the wedding or did you just have them visit a lot and stay there until they were done? I love this. I wish the game let you vacation down there. I also love your lot! So pretty. Love everything about this update. EEEEEEE Nooboo!!!! <3

    @Rhythrin I just realized I missed your update. Luana and Manu are so pretty in your game :) Awww poor Luana feeling sick every day. I'm glad she ended up feeling better later. The fabricator mishaps are pretty funny :) Aww cheering up Manu was cute. Oh I keep forgetting Luana is a mermaid! awww sweet nooboo. Congratulations on your baby girl. I love that another is coming right on her heels! Oooo the bee garden is so pretty! Meepsy is so cute and unusual. Hooray for a boy! Don't worry about it seeming fast :) I just did the same thing. I played forever without pictures. The family has suddenly expanded! Anyways, little Aylene is so cute!

    Evergreen Harbor: Update 9

    The day before Silas became a YA he finally heard back from the Universities about his scholarship applications.
    https://i.imgur.com/6lS8Szw.png

    He didn't receive any scholarships (A bug? Because like @OJenn 's twins, he should've received one just for Living In Evergreen Harbor), but he did get accepted! Not to any distinguished degree programs :lol: but he'll take what he can get.
    https://i.imgur.com/4cZsSiZ.png

    Later that night he aged up!
    https://i.imgur.com/TnZqjQP.png

    His final trait is Clumsy, just like his Mom. Which reminds me, I haven't ever seen Iris do anything even remotely clumsy. I'd actually forgotten she had that trait.

    He's actually really cute?! Like he grew into his facial features waaaaay more then I expected. :heart:

    The next day he enrolled at Foxbury University in their culinary program. His Mom is so proud, and only slightly disappointed he can no longer ask for her help with homework.

    Iris found Aiyden's ghost angrily wandering around and shared the news about Silas' college acceptance with him. :smile:

    Silas' girlfriend, Ashlynn, also had her birthday and aged up right after him. So their romance never had to come to a halt. Their birthdays timed up perfectly.

    They immediately took advantage of being grownups :wink: (He still has his childhood single bed, so this was their only option lol)

    I've been working Fawn a little too hard :neutral: I guess I should ease up on my heir expectations lol
    https://i.imgur.com/ch0mpY6.png

    When the weekend came she got a break from homework and skilling. She met up with Zach and her new friends Selene and Jonas. (It was right about here that I realized I needed to build a casual restaurant for Evergreen Harbor. Teens chillin' at the most expensive place in town is a little weird lol.)

    Selene is so pretty @Kiwicantdie I don't think I'll ever get over it. She and Fawn are going to be BFF's :wink:
    https://i.imgur.com/khS5JPG.png

    And, Jonas is Zach's scouting friend. He was very social, which of course Fawn liked. She also learned he was gloomy, but you could never tell.

    I was surprised when I got the notification it was Valentine's day. It seems like it was only yesterday Iris and Aiyden were celebrating it. It was now their sons turn to celebrate. He took Ashlynn to a waterside restaurant in San Myshuno to celebrate.
    https://i.imgur.com/21vqe9y.png

    Love was definitely in the air :heart:
    https://i.imgur.com/SS1wARU.png

    Then Silas surprised Ashlynn by proposing!
    https://i.imgur.com/lOi2QU6.png

    I was a little worried she'd turn him down, but she said yes! They've come a long way since she was rejecting him as a teen. Silas was so happy :heart: :love:
    https://i.imgur.com/mYBOqsU.png

    Fawn's Valentine's day wasn't going so well. She had a bad day at school, and an even worse day when she got home. She called Zach to ask him on a date only to be told he was now a YA and all their romantic feelings were now inappropriate... (I was super bummed out because Zach and Fawn have a nearly full romance bar. They never kissed, or became official, but it was getting there.)
    https://i.imgur.com/X11bLRE.png

    Instead of crying alone on Valentine's day Fawn took a chance and invited Jonas to hangout. Not a date, just a hangout. She was so relieved when he agreed, and even happier when he flirted with her!
    https://i.imgur.com/vc8TpAA.png

    I was so surprised when he gave her a rose. I guess he really likes her!
    https://i.imgur.com/utF2P1v.png

    Fawn loved how sweet he was, and decided to be brave and ask to turn their hangout into an actual date. It was Valentine's day after all.
    https://i.imgur.com/OuKTta0.png

    They walked a few buildings down the block and ended up at the same restaurant they had eaten at earlier in the week with their friends. Fawn was impressed when Jonas took the lead and ordered for them.
    https://i.imgur.com/8uHMCAo.png

    Fawn ended up earning a legendary date reward, and she and Jonas' relationship skyrocketed.
    https://i.imgur.com/DFRILMT.png

    But like I said, I've been working poor Fawn a little too hard :joy: Her date took place immediately after school and her needs were in the red big time... yeaaaaaah... that's her passed out in a puddle of her own pee :lol:
    https://i.imgur.com/AHOBC5m.png

    Sorry Fawn! I still think this was a successful Valentine's day.
    https://i.imgur.com/7sTKIIa.png

    For Iris... not so much. She really felt Aiyden's absence. :disappointed:
    https://i.imgur.com/V4jZPFa.png

    I was so sad to get the notification that her time was coming to an end. When the romance festival came around I knew exactly what I had to do.
    https://i.imgur.com/1L8MNey.png

    Iris deserved to see at least one of her kids get married, so despite the pouring rain, Silas and Ashlynn were ready to tie the knot. (I uploaded Silas and Ashlynn)
    https://i.imgur.com/pCfiYly.png

    It was way less then ideal :lol: and I swear every sim nearby showed up with their umbrellas just to ruin this shot.
    https://i.imgur.com/Z1qj3nq.png

    Even the fireworks were kinda lame lol
    https://i.imgur.com/zCWCGLz.png

    But at least Fawn and Iris got to attend the wedding. Even if Iris was supremely uncomfortable, I still think she was happy to be at her sons wedding.
    https://i.imgur.com/2kILIJh.png

    Love was apparently still in the air in Evergreen Harbor. Jonas called Fawn up for another date shortly after their 1st. (I can't remember where I downloaded his family from, but he was a child and his last name's Jewell. Is he anyone on here's sim? Just curious, he's super cute!)
    https://i.imgur.com/XojM0rc.png

    They ended up at the bowling alley in Willow Creek.
    https://i.imgur.com/BRSxwyU.png

    Where they were big on the PDA.
    https://i.imgur.com/GY6tBMU.png

    and Fawn finally got enough nerve to go in for her very 1st kiss! Jonas looked so scared :lol:
    https://i.imgur.com/l3KoDqC.png

    but he quickly became comfortable with all the kissing :wink: they're now boyfriend and girlfriend, which completes phase 1 of Fawns Soulmate Aspiration. Next, become a YA and marry your BFF!
    https://i.imgur.com/0uj2yhu.png

    There's 2 days left until Fawn becomes a YA. I still need to finish her house and pick a career for her! The pressure's on. I'll be back to comment later because I'm currently on a sims binge. I'm loving all the updates!

    I'm back for comments! :mrgreen:

    @debjameswhite - Your new kitties look so cute curled up together! I'm happy for you :heart:

    @OJenn - Jade looked so sad after her Valentine's day rejection. Fawn had that exact same thing happen to her. Aw Jordan :heart: I really hope magic happens between him and Jade. If I had kept playing my Willow Creek save he would've been my heir. But whoa Jade :lol: dreaming of babies already lol gotta find a man first! Atlas aged up handsomely (I need to see a side by side of him and @Mionax Ashton!). I still have a soft spot for your Iris mini me, but Jade is beautiful, and the floral designer career sounds fun. It's disappointing about the twins lack of scholarships, but Aiyden and Iris will take care of them. Amaya and Atlas make a cute couple. It's adorable that Amaya is dating her BFF's brother. I hope that means we'll still being seeing lots of them both. I'm looking forward to seeing Jade's college years. Are you planning to have her live on campus or move to her new house asap?

    @Mionax - Nice house tour! I like the living room with the keyboard and knitting table the most. The main bathroom is great too. I like the shower. Aw, Uncle Knox came over to talk the kids ears off :heart: Gotta love the guy. Ashton is such a great big brother/caregiver. I'm glad he survived his trip to the motive trials? :lol: Weird. Anyway, Mariam is such a responsible teen! I like that she conquered her social anxiety and voted at the community board. Seeing her meet and fall in love with Alek was so cute. He did look really angelic in that picture of him making a snow angel.

    @IllusoryThrall - Aiyden and Iris made nice quicker then I thought they would, but I'm not complaining. They've really been working hard, they deserve a little time for themselves. So it was good to see them share their 1st kiss and that cute selfie. I think Iris is having a positive effect on Aiyden already. He didn't even seem mad to be covered in paint from the fabricator lol. Their date night was nice to see too. Even if their waiter really set Aiyden off with his food fail :grimace: You can never go wrong with a romance festival proposal and wedding :heart: I just hope Big Moo doesn't turn into a problem.

    @JordanNicoleJJ - I'm sorry to hear your bf has a staff infection. That's serious stuff. Good thing it's being treated. Your quiet sims days are numbered! :lol: jk.

    What a beautiful wedding :love: :love: :love: *insert Panic At The Disco lyrics here* but seriously omg your destination wedding was so pretty :heart: All of the guest were sitting! The couple walked down the aisle together! You timed it to be at sunset!? How did you pull off this perfection?? Suri's mom though :joy: she's my spirit animal too. Little Ana is adorable. I'm so glad I get to see Iris be a Grandma. Anyway, omg there's a little vacation villa too?! Perfection! The coral reefs are so pretty. Did you ever get a new laptop? Your screenshots look amazing. I need a massage in a tropical paradise now too. Just not with Haven's masseuse lol poor guy. Hahaha those dance pics. Haven is living his best life for sure. I'm with him, do they have to leave? I vote for everyone to rebuild Sulani next lol! Seriously, all of your pictures are gorgeous :love: AND they have a baby on the way! Best update ever! 10/10 :lol: Are they almost adults?

    @Rhythrin - Aw, you're right, in the beginning Luana did seem to be having a happy pregnancy. Too bad the morning sickness kicked in. She still looks super pretty, even when miserable :lol: Poor Manu's fabricator was mean to him lol but Luana's fizzy drinks perked him right up. And how cute is that packaging?! I'm totally gonna mess around with fizzing now. I had no idea mermaid's had to swim once a day! Makes sense, and now her little hidden swimming grotto makes even more sense. Welcome baby Aylene! I am totally gonna misspell that name so I apologize ahead of time lol. Mom and Dad look so happy :love: even if Aylene isn't too fond of Daddy yet :lol: omg look how pretty Luana looks when she's about to break the baby news to Manu :heart: Their babies are gonna age up beautifully. Little Aylene looks just like her Dad! Look at those round cheeks! She's so cute. I can't wait to see how Kadri ages up. Great update! :smiley:
