Lakewood BaCC: Week 3, Part 1

[katrisims]

After a long wait (and tonight's long battle with Photobucket) here's finally the first part of the third week in Lakewood. As usual, comments are welcome wherever you might be inclined to leave them. :) I hope you enjoy!

YEAH!

I love it when things sort of fall into place, like the rules misread resulting in Ajay's new business! I didn't think about playing for tips with high Creativity, I'll have to try that when I play Norah Gainsborough.

Wow, that was a big garden for Lizzie to manage all by hand. Is that a requirement, or are sprinklers allowed? I ask because Anne used them in Blueberry Island for her large garden and I never had, and now I want to try them out myself for gardening/farming on a larger scale.

I love that there's so many kids in Lakewood! Congrats on the Business District - love that playable-to-SM ratio!

(English tip: plaque, not plague. One is definitely preferable over the other. Your English is beautiful though! :) )

Heh, yeah. :) I was planning on having Ajay open a music venue anyway, because of his LTW, but my original plan was to place it in the new Business District. But well, things fell nicely into place this way, too. I'm looking forward to seeing how much money Ajay can earn with his playing.

Oh, I didn't even think of sprinklers! I'll have to keep those in mind in case anyone has a large garden in the future. In the Davidsons' case, the purpose of the garden is really to earn badges so that the legacy tree can be kept healthy, plus to earn Nature enthusiasm. Well, eggplants are a plus for skill points, but soon those can hopefully be bought at Regan's grocery store.

The kids are always fun, it's great getting to see them grow. :) Thanks, I'm pretty happy for finally having the BD - not only for the SM, but for the physical space to put more businesses into.

Whoops, that was some language mistake! :D Thanks for pointing that out, fixed now. :) Every now and then I manage to produce one of these non-native slips. Anyway, thanks for the compliment!

Thank you for reading and commenting! ^^

I'm glad my tip helped you get your baby clothes working! :)

Loki must either have high Active or high Neat. That's usually what will make them run to clean.

Lauren is going to grow up to be a mechanic. :) And I like all of Aaron's skulls.

Skilling goes ever so slightly faster if you wait until the kid's Bladder is really low to teach potty training. There's no trick for teaching the rest quickly, though, as far as I know.

Great progress, and a fun read! :)

Woot, baby clothes are awesome! Thanks again for the help. :)

That could be it. Or I think Loki was probably running everywhere while visiting, so it could have been a glitch, too. In any case, it was pretty funny!

She might. :) She sure did love the toy garage as a toddler, although as a child, she's been more interested in chess. Aaron's skulls are pretty neat I think.

Yeah, I tend to do that with the potty training, at least that way they learn more in one session. I'm hoping that next generation will be a little easier, since there'll be grandparents who can also help with the training if the parents are busy. But toddler training without smart milk is surprisingly hard!

Thanks Esme, and thanks for reading and commenting! :)

Hooray for Ajay, bringing in the Business District! :D

The kids are absolutely adorable! I love how Aaron is a "bad boy" with all his skulls, and Lauren has the cutest nose!

Yeah, Ajay has done good! *pets him* Now next rotation, he can get to work on his LTW, I'm sure he can appreciate that. :)

Aren't they? So far I'm really liking how they've turned out. And Aaron's skulls are the cutest, but don't tell him! :)

Thanks for reading and commenting, Sam!
