#Jefferson:SanSequoia

[memoirsofasim]

Thank you @alerionjkeee for the bridge override. It definitely looks so much better in red, even at night!

Now that Thomas can pull to stand, when he wakes up in the morning he likes to look out his bedroom window and watch the ships in the harbour.

Lately Harvey has been making an effort to be there for Fern and little Thomas. He was so focused on work that he suddenly realised he had missed a lot of his son’s milestones.

Little Thomas has discovered the T.V. and he is mesmerized.

Introducing Harvey, Fern and Gunner Jefferson! 

Harvey and Fern are a couple I created to play in Henford to test out the Cottage Living pack. Farming is a lot of work (for them and me lol) so they are taking a break from that life and have moved to San Sequoia. 

Harvey is a writer and has written 4 books. He is earning a moderate amount of royalties but not quite enough for them to live off yet so he works as a Freelance Article Writer. Fern is currently unemployed but she is an amazing painter and sells her artworks to galleries all across Simlandia. Gunner is adopted and has a very gentle nature and when he isn’t sleeping he is running around the house non-stop.

Some more milestones, creep, crawl, and pull to stand! Thomas fell asleep beside Gunner one afternoon. Fern also took a photo of little Thomas for their family wall (top left). He is growing up so fast and although he is  A LOT of work she wants to remember his sweet little infant face forever.

Purple and brown just seem to go well together. XD

Thomas and Gunner’s first interaction with each other.

Trip to the water park! It’s not very infant friendly but Fern and Harvey seemed to enjoy themselves. Afterwards they took a short walk around the lake with Thomas in the carrier and Gunner by their side. 

[memoirsofasim]

Harvey upgraded Thomas’ crib to a toddler bed and Fern didn’t even have to ask him to do it. 😆 One of Fern’s excellent paintings hangs above Thomas’ bed. Unfortunately for Harvey he still shares this room with his son, one day he will get his own private study. 

[memoirsofasim]

They took a trip to Gilbert Gardens and walked around the pond. Gunner trotted along side them and little Thomas fell asleep in the carrier.

I’m getting a glitch when they walk around the lake or pond. Harvey began walking but Fern and Gunner didn’t and just stood there. I just want them to take a walk together as a family, is that is too much to ask. 🤷‍♀️😔

Another birthday for a not so little Thomas! 🎂

Upon aging up he rolled the Active trait and received 2 skill points in all his childhood skills. Unfortunately EA have still not fixed the Top Notch Toddler trait (or is it just my game?) so he missed out on that. I also had a glitch with his movement skill where he maxed it out but didn’t receive the milestone. 😠😭

Anyways, moving on! He also received 1 skill point in Charisma and Video Gaming (which confused me lol). His child aspiration is Mind & Body.

Thomas has reached many toddler milestones already. Receiving those extra skill points when he aged up has really helped. I did also give their lot the Child’s Play trait as an added bonus. 😁
