Thinking out loud...?

After I play Round 4 and Round 5, which will be only 3 days long (or 4) because the first kids of Generation 2 will become adults, I'll  take a short break. Why? Because there have been some changes to challenge. During that time I will decide if I want to add the Grecian phase, skip right to Roman times, or make a mash up of both. I know I'm definitely leaning towards adding a Greece based phase since I love mythology. And by that I mean, I LOVE MYTHOLOGY. So, I think I will enjoy that phase.

I have already played the first households in Round 4. I enjoyed playing the Hunters and the Rivers this round. ACR definitely kept me busy in those two households. I will upload the Round updates between tonight and tomorrow and then play the next two households, Meadow and Bush, in the rotation.

Round 3 Rankings

Here are the R3 rankings. They stayed the same from R2, but the amount of $$ they have changed significantly. 

The Bush family, I have NO IDEA how they make so much. Maybe it's because all five of them are natural hard workers and I almost never have to direct them to fish since they are already doing it. I actually have to pry away their fishing sticks. 

The Rivers family, they didn't go up by much, but maybe next round they will be able to accumulate a little more wealth since they have no toddlers and the teen males can go hunting.

The Farmer family, well... I can't say much and it's no surprise they have like 1K less than the previous round. 







The birth rate in this round was very low. Only 4 new babies were born, two of them being twins from the Hunter family. Hopefully that will change next round. Although, there's plenty of kids to carry on the next generation, so I'm not really worried. Especially now that all families have at least one girl heir.

Note* The Hunter baby photo is Dawn in R1... lol



Round 3: Farmer

Pear plays with Blackberry.

Maybe this is why Sunny died thinking of Pear? She thought Pear was better heir material than Peach? I think so too... don't you?

Peach plays while...

Pear works hard.

Pear is not in a good mood because she's tired and rejects a hug from her twin.

Peach witnesses fire.

Peach also plays with Blackberry.

Mushroom finally gets poor Banana a bottle. Her hunger motive is always low.



The triplets have a  birthday. Blackberry seems to like Minnow.

This is Banana,

Beet,

and Blackberry.

The round was a  bit boring, but then Tuna arrived.

And this happened..






 And of course all that ended in this. Someone is in love.  And here I thought Tuna wanted some type of revenge... -_-

No one in this household is doing any work. Can't say I blame them with such a lazy father. I keep checking to see if he's a Romance sim instead, but nope... He's definitely a Family sim.

Blackberry is definitely smitten. But Sorry sweetie, I think he's for one of your sisters.


I finally made them fish. They need to work!

*thinking about Minnow*

Definitely Not doing well.



Sunny makes an appearance.

Mushroom starts lamenting his life...

Right next to where Banana is sleeping and wakes her up. He's such a great, selfless father.

Peach gets attacked by small flying creatures. She survives the attack. Bah humbug! I was kinda hoping she didn't...lol


The twins have a birthday.

Pear, Popularity.

And Peach, Romance.


Round 3: Hill

Here we have the Hill family. 

The older pair of twins are fishing.


Baby bump! Let's hope it's a girl. They need one.

Dill helps out with the garden since Honey is tired because of the pregnancy,

Jumping competition.

Considering they are not Family sims as primary aspiration, they are doing lots better than the so called family man in the hood.


Pine meets Milka.

Go away...

The life saver juicer!



Pickle likes playing with his younger brothers. If they have no girls, he will be heir.

The second pair of twins grow up. Watercress.

And Watermelon.

It's time! *crosses fingers*

And it's a .... GIRL! Her name is Cherry.

The family welcomes her. And poor Pickle got pushed back to second in line.

 Back to work!


 And it pays off.

Most of the fishing is autonomous so I'm always taken by surprise when someone gains a badge.

Besties!

The second pair of twins has another birthday. Watercress below.

And Watermelon.

The older pair of twins also has a birthday.

Pickle, Pleasure sim.

And Pine, Romance sim.

This was adorable. It was the first thing he did after I changed his clothes. It seems he doesn't more mind the little rug rat being heir.

And she also has a birthday. She's cute.
