Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 46 (Home to Henford)

Everett and Spencer Pancakes had worked hard on their marriage, but they still struggled in Oasis Springs so far from their families.

Then one day, Everett's phone rang. His hometown parish - the 400-year-old church in Henford-on-Bagley where he'd grown up listening to the scripture of the Watcher - needed a new priest. Though their sons were young for such a big move, they jumped at the chance for Greyson and Jett to grow up in their childhood paradise.

They moved in with Spencer's parents, Eric and Alice, at her childhood home in Old New Henford. With Lydia now in Brindleton Bay with the Goths, Spencer's parents had plenty of room for Everett, Spencer, Greyson, and baby Jett - and their dog, JJ, too!

Their first day back, Everett's twin sister, Malia, dropped by to visit and share some happy news. "Jamar and I are expecting!"

Everett knew his sister and her husband, Henford's young, successful doctor, Jamar Scott, had been trying for over a year. "That's fantastic!" Everett beamed, and Malia practiced holding infants by spending the rest of the afternoon entertaining baby Jett.

Spencer's work was primarily in Selvadorada and the only thing that kept her in Oasis Springs was the sun and Everett's old job, but being back with her family again meant everything to her. Not just having her parents, but her older sister Olivia lived with her own family just up the road on Old Mill Hill. Olivia's youngest was close in age to Greyson, and Spencer wanted their families near as they raised their own sons.

"I never realized how much I needed you until we unpacked our bags," Spencer admitted to her mother in the family room, while Jett snuggled with his grandpa Eric on the sofa. "Hopefully now that I'm home I can stop second-guessing everything I do as a mom."

Alice looked at her daughter with a generous smile. "You didn't need to come all the way home for us to know you're a good mother. Your boys love you, and we love them almost as much as I know you do."

Spencer dearly loved her sons, but she worried her ambition was too obvious. That maybe her sons knew she itched to fly to Selvadorada and immerse herself in her work, thousands of miles away from them. The way her sons and her job competed for her time left her overflowing with guilt, but now that she was home, she was more hopeful about the future than she'd been in years.

Everett's grandmothers, Agatha and Agnes Crumpcakes, were getting older. He was glad to be closer to help his father and stepmother take care of them. He felt a responsibility to his family as the eldest of his siblings, even if he was only five minutes older than Malia.

She was going to have a baby, Kash lived in Brindleton Bay with his husband, Wolfgang (Munch!), and Elizabeth was still in high school. Leaving his church and parishioners in Oasis Springs had been difficult, but being home with his family, and at the pulpit of his hometown church, felt like the choice he should have made when he and Spencer married five years earlier.

Everywhere they went they saw familiar faces, and their return began to heal Everett and Spencer's marriage even further.

They were home again, just in time for their dear friend Heather to bring Conrad to Henford to meet her loved ones... ->

NOTE: The baby is Jett, Heather and Everett's biological child that she delivered as a surrogate. So far he looks like Heather. He even had her hair colour, but I darkened it because I'm already sick of it repeatedly showing up in Neal's descendants.

NOTE 2: Three days without Conrad and today without Heather, I know that's bold strategy, but I wanted this post to stand alone because a) I had to set up why they left the desert before Heather visits, and doing it in the same post was a little too verbose, even for me, b) that gorgeous church build needed to get some featured screen time, and c) we haven't seen Jett since he was born and the pic with his Aunt Malia above is the clearest one I have of him as an infant. Heather and Conrad (and Ash!) are all back tomorrow!

WCIF Henford's Church: Escombe Church in the Sims 4 Gallery by @simstruhistory/TeaWithTash (beautiful build, cc-free, and there's more historical content at their page!) This is a historical recreation of the real Escombe Church in England and I think it's got a perfect Henford vibe. It doesn't actually fit in Henford in my main save but I want to use it again to stage some funerals in the future and maybe weddings, too. I've referenced the 400-year-old church in Henford a couple times but never showed it because it didn't exist (*whispers*I didn't wanna build it) until I saw this one showcased here on simblr!

I'm so, so grateful to creators with build skills, mod skills, CAS skills, all skills, saving me time to do the Sim stuff I really enjoy. 🤗

(Also I'm not a spiritual person, but I have Lumpinou's Rambunctious Religions mod installed because I was playing Ultimate Decades for a while, and just because I'm not religious doesn't mean some of my sims can't be!)

Okay, here's the breakdown: Dennis Kim and Lydia Spencer had a daughter named Alice Spencer-Kim, then divorced. Alice married Eric Lewis and had her own little girl, Olivia Kim-Lewis. They live with Alice's dad (Dennis, remember?) and Eric's mom, Vivian Lewis. Hey, no one ever said family was easy!

Townie makeover: The Spencer-Kim-Lewis

Olivia and her perfectly imperfect family [🎵]

🧡 Spencer-Kim-Lewis

Years ago, whimsical Alice Spencer-Kim married technology guru Eric Lewis and had their little girl, mischievous Olivia Kim-Lewis. Recently, Alice’s dad--reclusive Dennis--and Eric’s mom--doting Vivian--moved in and often bicker about their different styles of parenting. The house is usually utter chaos which Olivia wouldn't have any other way. No one ever said family was easy!

Vanilla download & lookbook pics here.

The most affluential household in Willow Creek consists of a couple who are polar opposites yet deeply in love as well as their respective parents who humbly believe their methods are best. Though they don't dislike each other, maybe Olivia's grandparents can learn to come together for the sake of her future. This is the only base game household where no one had a job. Now Eric is a high-level tech guru, Alice is a successful painter, Dennis is a retired business tycoon, and Vivian is a retired teacher.

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 7 (The Eventful Wedding of Spencer Kim-Lewis to Everett Pancakes)

Before we begin: If you missed their intros as kids in Gen 1, Everett Pancakes is the son of Bob and Eliza Pancakes but Eliza died in a housefire (because she burnt grilled cheese) when Everett was a kid. Spencer is the second of three daughters of Alice Spencer-Kim and Eric Lewis. Not one thing about her has been edited by me. That's even the hair she aged up with. She's so STUNNING I just love her.

Heather glanced out the window as her plane took off after sunrise, obscuring the skyline as they soared into the mist. The lack of scenery below gave her mind plenty of time to wander.

Her feelings for Malcolm confused her so much more than her feelings for Everett ever did, but there was still a strange sort of fire between them that Heather couldn’t turn away from. No one had ever seen her the way Malcolm did, and she understood what all her friends raved about after they'd slept together. She texted him when she landed in Tartosa to say she’d been thinking about him, but then she turned her focus to her best friends’ long anticipated wedding.

Rain fell on Everett and Spencer’s outdoor ceremony just before the kiss, but otherwise went smoothly until Spencer collapsed as she was supposed to toss the bouquet Heather had gifted her!

Rushed to a Tartosan hospital, doctors revealed Spencer was pregnant. They’d managed to stop heavy bleeding and her baby had survived, but the ordeal left everyone shaken as they returned home.

Heather returned to her parents’ home in Henford feeling a strange mix of heartbreak and hope. Her dreams of a life with Everett were truly over – not just marriage, but he and Spencer were starting a family. A family she wasn’t in.

With a wistful glance across Finchwick Square, she took in one last sunny morning in her picturesque hometown before heading to the Simmerloop Superhighway.

Heather was ready to accept Everett's future wouldn't be with her. With King Tut and Boomer in tow, she left for Brindleton Bay determined to move forward... ->
