Terrell: What's the spiciest dish Selvadorada has to offer? Neve: You can't handle spicy, Terrell. You think cocktail sauce is spicy! Terrell: It has a hint of it! Silas: Maybe we start with something lighter than cocktail sauce, then.

They ordered, cursed at the mosquitoes, and got to know each other even further - Neve profusely thanked Lucia for saving her life after reading about how dangerous the Selvadoradian spiders can be if not taken care of immediately.

They had dinner, some drinks, and dessert, and were ready to call it a night. Tomorrow's a new day.

Neil: Tell you what, why don't we make today the aftermath of that kiss? See how we'd handle it if it was redone. Blaire: So, instead of running I'd do something like this?

Neil: And instead of going out I'd return it.

Blaire: I like that. Neil: And for the record, I stopped talking to Clive almost immediately after that day. He's a horrible influence. Blaire: Good on you for realising it yourself, Elderberry.

"Honestly, fuck them. I'm better off without that company." Robbie's voice was merciless announcing his resignation news to Charlie. Growing up, Robbie always called him to vent and he listened without judgment. Robbie worked gruelling hours in the lab but felt a lack of recognition for his efforts: co-workers constantly belittled him until he had enough. "You let it all out, Robbie!" Pam exclaimed after the conversation full of cursing.

Forgetting about the pharmaceutical company, Robbie wanted to reconnect with his family since work consumed his life. He found catching up with Charlie and Pam easier than with Renee, asking about the pregnancy and talking about their childhood. But above all, he wanted to know more about Vincent. Still, Robbie was intimidated by him and felt awkward whenever they had small talk. After all, knowing more would make it easier to communicate honestly, without any negative sentiments getting involved.

Neve: I'm the one who should be taking care of you right now, not the other way around. Terrell: Are you kidding? I've been wanting to do this since our university days. You have a pretty bad habit of leaving your hair half-wet. It always bothered me.

Neve: Wait, since when have you... Terrell: Who do you think convinced Norman to let two girls apply for the empty rooms? The guy was fuming about his man cave or whatnot. Neve: Well, that's funny...

Terrell: What is? Neve: Guess who convinced Addison to skip the dorm experience. Terrell: Neve Elderberry, did you have feelings for me then?

Neve: I have no idea what drove me to make that decision. I do remember that night you said you'd spend every minute with me - and how you kept that promise. My heart felt so at peace every time I'd see you, I started looking for you everywhere I went. But there's this fear that it's not real again or that I'm-

Terrell: You ramble a lot, you know that? Neve: Only when I'm nervous.

Neve: I think... you should be in your hospital gown. What happened to that? Terrell: Your dad offered me a deal - no more gown if I quit fidgeting with my hand's bandage. Neve: Did it work? Terrell: I guess so.

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Summary (So Far!)

Based on the Sims In Bloom Challenge by Tasha @a-sims-garden posted here

Gen 2 - Buttercup (green, yellow)

"From a young age you’ve always loved animals of all kinds. You spent your childhood playing in your parents’ garden, fascinated by the wildlife all around you. As a teen From childhood you were gifted a laptop for your birthday glued to the family computer and you spent most of your time attached to it, competing in video game tournaments. Your love for animals persisted however, and you used the money won from video game tournaments to start your own vet clinic! (Plus extra help from the Bank of Mom & Dad.) ‘Romance’ and ‘marriage’ are things you never saw didn't necessarily see in your future, but most importantly, you would still like to raise a child raise your children with love and care like you were."

Immediately revising the challenge description to suit where this generation has gone instead. Daisy's gen started at YA and went pretty much to the letter, but Heather was adjusted early on.

I started with video gaming younger than the guidelines because I didn't think I'd actually make enough to buy the clinic (I didn't) and I wanted a good start on the video gaming skill. She entered a few tournaments before teenhood, but not weekly.

Enter in a video game tournament at least once a week from when you are a teen

Earn money by owning and running a vet clinic

Always own at least one cats *the original rules say at least two cats and I decided one is fine, but since the Nesbitts adopted Boomer in Gen 1 and they already had King Tut, Heather has always owned at least two cats anyway*

Never get into a relationship or marry (you can attempt to date for fun but they never work out) *if you've been following you know this rule has been broken and I'm fine with it. I love love!*

Adopt or have a science baby at least once *acting as a surrogate for Everett and Spencer with the birth of baby Jett fulfilled this, though she isn't raising this child so I plan to bring this requirement back in a future generation*

*Complete the Feather Collection twice

*Gain the Techie lifestyle

Bonus (My own additions. I might use cheats to help complete these if I feel like it because I'm just piling on stuff to do, but I'll try to make it plot or give it some kind of difficulty.)

The Feather Collection was a breeze with so many curious pets, so I decided to go for it twice - once for the statue, which currently stands out front of Buttercup Pet Clinic, and once again for the framed feathers to hang on the wall (in Heather's bathroom because they fit). I have almost every framed feather except the puffin. One left to go.

Raise 175,000 simoleons to buy out the clinic from the Landgraabs. *when this happened, I renamed Brindleton Pawspital to Buttercup Pet Clinic. A rebuild of the clinic is scheduled for spring.

Befriend and adopt Mayor Whiskers

Befriend and resurrect/adopt Captain Whitaker

Get clinic to 5 stars and maintain it, gain all vet perks *I honestly think I'll fail this one and I'm coming to terms with it tbh*

Complete the Jungle Explorer aspiration with a secondary character *working on it with Spencer (Kim-Lewis) Pancakes, though I want Heather, one of her closest friends since childhood, to help out*

Things I Didn't Plan For: Heather and Malcolm's relationship and raising the heir to the Landgraab's business empire, nor Heather's relationship with Conrad. When I started Gen 2, I honestly thought she would remain single forever (or at least until Everett was divorced or a widower) and have a child using his sperm donation. But then I fell in love with Everett's wife, Spencer, and changed the whole trajectory of this generation. Maybe even this legacy!

Once I added Conrad and Gord, I started thinking about incorporating Brindleton Bay's ghost lore into the storyline, but I didn't plan for things to get as paranormal as they did, let alone as fast as it happened! But when I made an on-the-spot decision to send Heather and Conrad on the quest for ambrosia with Reaper Rewards and commit six weeks of storytelling to it, things got spooky and mysterious pretty quick. A whole new challenge in keeping all the paranormal stuff rooted in some realism (until some later generations which go more for full fantasy), has revealed itself!

I'm not counting Gourmet Cooking as one of Heather's maxed skills until she completes it in the main save, but I should have added gardening to the chart before the screenshot.

I just love this generation and have rarely spent more time with a legacy heir than this. I can't wait to see where Heather's story goes from here, and Lavender, our Gen. 3 heir, is developing her own personality more every day!

LEGACY TOTALS

Aspirations Completed: Freelance Botanist, Super Parent (Daisy Nesbitt), Outdoor Enthusiast, Eco Innovator (Neal Nesbitt), Whiz Kid, Friend of the Animals (Heather Nesbitt), Mind and Body, Angling Ace (Holly Bell), Rambunctious Scamp (River Nesbitt), Social Butterfly (Hazel Moody-Nesbitt)

Careers Maxed: Gardener - Botany branch (Daisy), Civil Designer - Eco branch (Neal), Veterinarian (Heather), Deep Sea Fisher (Holly)

Collections Completed: Gardening Society collection plaque (all base game plants - a full and complete garden collection eludes us until perhaps a generation with a much bigger lot); Fishing Club collection plaque (all base game fish - a complete fish collection eludes us until I decide to fish a bunch again, and have a sim willing to mount endangered Sulani species on the wall); the Feather collection

Lifestyles Gained (first listed only): Outdoorsy, People Person (Daisy), Techie (Heather). Daisy had but lost Close-Knit and Energetic at different times, Heather had Single & Lovin' It but lost it obviously, and Conrad also had Close-Knit for a short time. Close-Knit is basically impossible to keep with the way I play legacies with all these interconnected families. This means I've already changed the lifestyle requirement for Gen 3 (it was going to be Close-Knit, I changed it, but I won't say to what until I get there).

Gen 1 Summary - DAISY | Gen 1 Start

NOTE: Jett Pancakes has actually aged up to a child in game and I noticed his photo isn't updated on the family tree. So this is Jett, the biological son of Heather and Everett Pancakes.
