Marshmallow: "The Welcome Wagon is here. You have been warned." |
Myles: "No one could deny this fruitcake, it's gourmet and homemade!" |
Rylie: "A cute sim carrying a fruit cake is at our door? Why does he have to be carrying a fruit cake? Why can't it just be a cute sim at our door?" |
Rylie: "Hey there, neighbors! I'm guessing you're here to welcome us to the neighborhood?" |
Myles: "We sure are! We have some lovely fruitcake for y'all, too. Where should I put it?" On the kitchen counter! |
Rylie: "He's cute, isn't he, Marshmallow?" |
Marshmallow: "No. I'm cute." |
Pupcake: "I'm cute, even while wearing a cone." |
Myles: "Welcome to Henford-on-Bagley! How are you liking it here so far?" |
Rylie: "It's absolutely amazing! Except for one thing..." |
Myles: "And what's that?" |
Rylie: "I need to see more animals around here! I love animals so much!" |
Myles: "I love animals, too! There's nothing better than befriending an animal, huh?" |
Neighbor: "I have more animal friends than human friends! ...I think I should get out more." |
Myles: "This is a mighty good farm you've got here, your animals look so happy and healthy!" |
Rylie: "Thanks! They're some of the happiest animals in Henford-on-Bagley, if I say so myself. Hehe!" |
Rylie: "Why don't we enjoy some of that delicious looking fruitcake you brought?" |
Myles: "Wow... that's the first time I've heard a sim enthusiastically wanting to try the fruitcake." |
Myles: "Don't mind if I do." |
Bessie: "I wonder if we'll get any fruitcake?" |
Larry: "I hope so, I'll eat just about anything! Even fruitcake!" |
Looks like Myles is really enjoying the fruitcake. |
Myles: "It's my great-great-grandma's recipe which has been passed down through generations." |
What are you doing out here, Rylie? I thought you were supposed to be eating Myles's fruitcake. Rylie: "I'm not hiding from the fruitcake or anything... hehehe..." |
Rylie: "I'm impressed, that fruitcake was actually delicious! I didn't realize it could be that delicious!" Myles: "Told ya." |
Neighbor: "Maybe you could teach Rylie the recipe sometime?" |
Myles: "That sounds like a great idea! Would you like to learn the fruitcake recipe anytime, Rylie?" |
Rylie: "I've always wondered how the welcome wagon fruitcake was made, so of course I'll learn!" |
This cooking session doesn't look too safe, Servo. |
Cluckers has been running around the farm all day. |
Rylie: "Don't mind me, just planting my oversized crops!" |
Neighbor: "This robot is creepy." Myles: "I don't think I'd say that while he's standing right there..." |
Servo: "Did this sim have the audacity to call me creepy while eating the eggs and toast that I made?" |
All of Rylie's oversized crops have been planted! |
Now, to tend the garden and water the plants. |
AHHHH! A BUNNY! |
Aww, isn't she such a cutie?! |
Neighbor: "Wow, that's a lot of oversized crops! Are you sure you're gonna be able to look after them all?" |
Rylie: "Watch me." |
Rylie: "Hey there, little bunny! Aren't you the cutest thing ever?" |
Rabit: "..." |
Rabbit: "I think I can trust this sim." |
Rylie: "You can definitely trust me, there's nothing more special to me than animals." |
It looks like Rylie has a new little friend on the farm! |
Servo decided to make some tomato sauce, it looks delicious! |
Myles: "I'll see y'all around, let me know when you want to learn that fruitcake recipe." Bye, Myles! |
Rylie: "Do you like my dance moves?" |
Rabbit: "I'm scared." |
Rylie: "Come on! I've got the best moves in town!" |
Rabbit: "Stop that before I run away." |
Rylie: "Aww, do you have a gift for me?" |
Rabbit: "Yes, this is a token of friendship." |
Rylie: "The little bunny trusts me enough to befriend me, this is amazing! She also gave me some gardening fertiliser!" |
Clara has made her way into the house. |
So has Eggbert, it seems. I wonder if Pupcake approves? |
Pupcake: "Yay! My feathery friends!" |
Eggbert: "It's a lot warmer in here, I wanna sleep in here instead of the chicken coop." |
Rylie: "Do you mind if I call you Bun Bun?" |
Bun Bun: "Of course not, we're friends now. I'll even help you out with your garden from now on." Yay! |
Pupcake: "There's so many animals around here!" Marshmallow: "It would appear cats and dogs aren't the stars of the show anymore." |
Some of Rylie's crops have started growing already! |
Looks like Bessie is done for the day. |
Eggbert: "I've already invaded the house, now I want to invade Larry's llama shed." Stop it, Eggbert! |
What the heck is going on here? |
It looks like Pupcake and Cluckers are getting close... very close... too close. |
Rylie: "Maybe that neighbor was right, caring for that many oversized crops is hard work, especially while caring for so many animals." |
Naturally, Servo is taking up the brand new skill that came with the Cottage Living pack. |
The cross-stitching skill! |
Rylie: "What are you doing in here, Cluckers? Isn't it time for you to go to bed in the chicken coop?" Cluckers: "I like it in here." |
Rylie: "Can I have a hug?" Cluckers: "No! You're gonna try and take me back to the chicken coop!" |
Rylie: "How did you..." |
Rylie: "Come on, Cluckers, it's time for bed!" |
Cluckers: "You can't tell me what to do." |
Marshmallow: "That chicken is almost as much of a savage as me." How the heck did you get so dirty? |
Rylie: "Larry! Are you ready for some dinner and a clean?" |
Larry: "Yes, yes I am." |
Rylie: "There you go, your wool is all clean!" |
Rylie: "Are you ready for another shear?" Larry: "Say what?" |
Larry: "Be careful." Rylie: "You know I will, Larry." |
Larry: "I hope so..." |
Larry: "Hey, that wasn't so bad." |
Rylie: "Ta-da! See, I told you!" |
Rylie: "Do you feel better, now?" |
Larry: "I feel like a million simoleons!" |
Larry: "Bedtime for me." |
Rylie: "Goodnight, Larry! Now, it's Bessie's turn." |
Rylie: "Bessie! Are you ready for dinner and a clean?" |
Rylie: "There you go, good girl!" |
Bessie: "I feel much cleaner already." |
Rylie: "Great, job, Bessie!" |
Bessie: "I'm going to sleep now." Rylie: "Goodnight, Bessie!" |
The Bramblewood DeLIGHTful Tree looks so beautiful during the night time! |
Servo's cross-stich rainbow turned out... interesting. |
Where are you headed off to, Marshmallow? |
To watch Rylie sleep? That's... strange. |
It's a rainy night on the Parsons farm. |
At least the crops are getting a lot of water. |
Aww, Servo's stick figure cross-stitch is adorable! |
The day begins early on the farm. |
Kobe still needs to host his phone meetings. |
While Yuki does her office work on the computer. |
I wonder what Servo's next cross-stitch will be? |
Kobe: "Checkmate!" |
Yuki: "Seriously? You're winning without me letting you win, now?!" |
Sims, laugh, love. |
Rylie: "There may be a thunderstorm, but nothing will stop be from caring for my animals." |
Rylie: "Oh, chickeeensss! Time to eat!" |
Rylie: "Oh my gosh, there's so much thunder and lightning out here!" |
Rylie: "Can I run inside, yet?" Not until the chickens eat! |
Rylie: "Man, being a farmer is hard work." |
Rylie: "Are you guys ready to eat?" |
Of course they are, rain, hail or shine! |
Rylie also needs to clean Larry and Bessie's animal sheds. |
Rylie: "Cleaning that animal shed was messy. How much wool, dirt and poop can possibly come out of one llama?!" |
Rylie decided to head down to Finchwick to purchase a few gardening and grocery items! |
Rylie: "I can't wait to purchase some fresh produce and some special animal food!" |
Kim Goldbloom: "Fresh produce! The best in Henford-on-Bagley!" |
Rylie decided to read the noticeboard about the upcoming cow fair! Bessie is definitely going to enter! |
AH! It's the face of the Cottage Living pack! |
Ooh, this little shop sells all kinds of adorable kitchen items! |
AHHHH! It's the return of the one... the only... |
Agnes Crumplebottom. She looks just as happy as ever. |
Rylie: "Hi there, Agnes! Do you have any gardening supplies, by any chance?" |
Agnes: "We sure do, we have lots of fertiliser and oversized crop seeds!" |
Rylie: "That's exactly what I was looking for!" |
Lavina Chopra, the Henford-on-Bagley mayor, has graced us with her presence. |
Agnes: "Who wants some gardening supplies? Get your gardening supplies here!" |
Rylie decided to window shop at the bakery. |
Rylie: "I could really go for a nice pastry right now." |
Rylie: "Can I have a pasty? Pretty please- oh my gosh, that llama sign is the cutest thing ever!" |
AH! It really is! |
Rylie: "Hi there, mayor Lavina! It's a pleasure to meet you!" |
We interrupt this program to show you a screenshot of this beautiful waterfall and watermill. Okay... continue. |
Mayor Lavina: "It's a pleasure to meet you, too. How are you liking Henford-on-Bagley so far?" |
Rylie: "It's absolutely amazing! Do you have any tips for living here? I just moved here not long ago." |
Townie: "Would you stop it with the puns already?" Oh, hush! |
Next, Rylie decided to visit the grocery shop! |
Rylie: "Hi there! Do you have any fresh produce I could try?" |
Kim Goldbloom: "Of course we do, we have plenty of fresh items for you to stock up your fridge at home." |
Rylie: "This place is a dream come true for me!" |
Looks like this is where the fairs are held. |
Ooh, here's Agnes Crumplebottom's cousin, Agatha Crumplebottom! I love her outfit! |
Next, Rylie visited The Bramblewood to look for the Creature Keeper and buy some animal clothes! It wouldn't hurt to meet Sally the Snail, either. |
Rylie: "Wow, this place is so beautiful!" |
Rylie: "I can't wait to meet Sally the Snail and take a selfie. I heard that's where the Creature Keeper hangs out, too!" |
Rylie: "Oh, hey, Myles! What are you doing here?" |
Myles: "I hang out here all the time, it's my favorite place in Henford-on-Bagley!" |
Rylie: "Well, since you hang out here all the time, I assume you've met Sally the Snail?" |
Myles: "Why, yes I have. I could take you to her if you'd like." |
Rylie: "That would be awesome! Thanks, Myles. I really want to purchase some animal clothes from the Creature Keeper, too." |
Myles: "Great idea! The Creature Keeper has some of the cutest animals clothes ever!" |
Myles: "Shall we?" |
Rylie: "We shall." |
Myles: "Hey, I thought I was gonna lead the way!" Rylie: "Too slow, slow poke!" |
Rylie: "Ugh, all that walking made me hungry!" |
At least you made it to Sally the Snail! |
Myles: "Ah, isn't this place just amazing?" |
Rylie: "Yeah, it's also a great place to dig for hidden treasure!" |
Myles: "Hey, that cloud kinda looks like a snail." |
Rylie: "So does this little snail on the ground- wait..." |
Rylie: "Sally the Snail selfie!" |
Rylie: "There's no better selfie than a Sally the Snail selfie, even a celebratory birthday selfie." |
Myles: "You're gonna get lots of likes on Simstagram with that selfie." |
Rylie: "Alright, I met Sally the Snail, but the Creature Keeper isn't here! Do you know where else he'd be?" |
Myles: "Hmm... the next place he might be would be at his cottage, let's go there and look for him." |
It took me longer than I'd like to admit to find the Creature Keeper's cottage. |
Rylie: "I'll lead the way again, slow poke!" Myles: "Hey! I'm not slow!" |
You have to walk over a log to get to the Creature Keeper's cottage? |
Myles: "As long as you're careful, it's fine." |
Finally! They've made it! |
Uh... I think the Creature Keeper made his way over to Sally the Snail while you guys were walking here. Rylie: "Are. You. Kidding. Me?" Wow, you got very stinky on your way over here. |
Rylie: "Alright, I made it all the way back over here. I'm assuming this is him?" |
Yep, this is the Creature Keeper! |
Rylie: "Hi there, Creature Keeper! I heard you have some really adorable animal clothes! Please ignore the stink cloud coming off me right now." |
The Creature Keeper: "I sure do! I've got all kinds of clothes! Cow clothes, llama clothes, chicken clothes, fox clothes..." |
Rylie: "These clothes are adorable, my animals will love them. It was definitely worth all that walking. Thanks, Creature Keeper!" |
The Creature Keeper: "You're welcome-" *Sniff, sniff* |
The Creature Keeper: "Ugh, what the heck! That sim smelt terrible!" |
Back at home, a fox is on the Parsons farm! Get out of here! |
Fox: "But, the party is only just getting started." Excuse you! |
Rylie: "Ugh, I'm so hungry!" |
Fox: "So am I..." |
Matilda, RUUUN!!! |
Marshmallow: "Don't worry, I'll protect Matilda." |
Oh my gosh, these oversized crops desperately need tending to! They take so long to tend to. |
The animals are all fed, which is the most important thing. |
AHH! Another little bunny! |
And another one! There's so many bunnies hanging around, now! |
Eggbert: "I like the bunnies." |
Look who I found playing in some leaves a little bit further away from the farm. |
Rylie: "There's a lot of bugs to spray here. A little gardening help here, Bun Bun?" |
Bun Bun: "Help is on the way!" |
You look like you've had a lovely day at work. Kobe: "Don't." |
Yuki: "Overtime is stressful!" |
Welp, Rylie may need to spray the plants for bugs, but at least she doesn't need to water them anymore. |
Woohoo! Servo has reached level 5 of the cross-stitching skill! (The final level of the skill.) |
Rylie has been tending to these plants for hours. Even Pupcake got tired out. |
Uh... now we know why Pupcake got tired out. It looks like she had a puppy! Introducing Murphy Parsons! |
Pupcake, anything to say for yourself? Pupcake: "My son is adorable." |
Marshmallow: *Sigh* "Another dog to put up with." |
Murphy: "That's not nice." |
Murphy: *Tiny puppy howl* |
Rylie: "My crops need tending to again already, don't they?" |
Yes, yes they do. |
Rylie: "I pretend I do not see it." |
Servo is very close to completing every skill in the game! |
The next skill he'll be working on: the veterinary skill. |
What better time than while living on a farm? |
> Pupcake: "I'm cute, even while wearing a cone."
ReplyDeleteDid Pupcake have surgery?? :O Or is the cone simply an accessory?
> This cooking session doesn't look too safe, Servo.
Especially with Marshmallow sitting so close! :O This is how cats lose tails.
> AHHHH! A BUNNY!
It is so fitting that you should have a bunny in your game, Bunnieesims! :)
> Rylie: "Aww, do you have a gift for me?"
> Rabbit: "Yes, this is a token of friendship."
That's so adorable! :D :3
> The cross-stitching skill!
Ooh, I look forward to seeing the completed crafts! :)
> Rylie: "Can I have a hug?"
> Cluckers: "No! You're gonna try and take me back to the chicken coop!"
Chickens aren't stupid! XD
> Servo's cross-stich rainbow turned out... interesting.
For a first attempt, it's very cute! :)
> Finchwick
I love all the little shops in this village! It's great (maybe?) to see Agnes Crumplebottom, too. I'm curious to see if she'll interrupt dates in TS4, too!
> animal clothes
Squee! :D I look forward to Rylie dressing up her animal friends.
> Marshmallow: "Don't worry, I'll protect Matilda."
Oh, good cat, Marshmallow! :)
> Introducing Murphy Parsons!
Ahhhh! :3 Welcome to the family, Murphy! He is adorable.
> Servo is very close to completing every skill in the game!
Good job, Servo! :D That's a lotta hard work.
I LOVE this update! :) Cottage Living is a perfectly charming EP. I so enjoy exploring it with the Parsons. The animals are particularly delightful, and the scenery is so soothing. Thanks for posting!
