Gracie had a rough childhood with a family that abandoned her and no one to look up to. Despite this, she always kept a strong, happy appearance, and she knew things would get better eventually. She lived off the streets, scraping with what little she had, until an opportunity occured: the government offered a lot and housing to a sim that was willing to move to the new city of Newcrest and build it from the ground! Gracie did not hesitate to say yes, and after the paperwork was done she took whatever belongings she had and moved to build up Newcrest.

Unfortunately I did not save the original home, so I made a recreation of it.

Initially it was very tough. She still had no money and had to live off the ground. However, the surrounding area was full of flowers, berries, frogs and fish. She was also able to get tax cuts by living off the grid for a while, as well as living in a tiny home until her family grew too large. This allowed her to really work on her skills, mainly gardening, and she soon had quite an extensive garden.

Gracie met her husband, Salim Benali, while strolling around in the nearby areas. It didn’t take long for her to fall for him, and they soon married. He was an aspiring writer who helped with the household funds by selling his books. Together they built up their garden and home. As their life expanded, so did their house and garden.

Eventually they had a daughter, Sofie, who they both adored. Despite the still very tight household-funds they tried to give Sofie everything that she needed. After all, she was going to keep the legacy going as she grew up. With the help of Salim, Gracie managed to both raise their daughter and finish the goal for her generation - to grow 8 perfect plants and finish the Hungry Herbalist aspiration. As the last plant evolved into perfection, it was time to move on, and Gracies work was done. The park was built, and Gracie moved with her daughter to begin generation 2.

This is the last picture of Gracie as her generation was complete:

Throughout the years the park has been through some renevations. Here are some pictures of how the park looked at the end of generation 10.

Find the park (both after gen 1 and gen 10) in the gallery by searching "Gardner Park". Make sure to include cc as I used custom images for the gallery, and I also think the painting and the graves might count as cc, but the park is functional without it.
