White text hard to read on snowhood I am too lazy to go fix it again though. I am pretty sure everyone knows what the title says by now anyway.

Also, this is the last update for today. Heading to go actually be outside for a bit!

Picking up where the last update left off with the second ever Team Murphy household founded by Amethyst and Braden's eldest daughter Melanie and her spouse-to-be Chesly Channing.



This little pond right here is HUGELY important. It isn't farming, but when Chesly rolled up fishing I did a little dance of joy. A source of buy-able food! Yay!



This is their starter hut, only complete with utilities already installed, because waiting for them to have the cash all the time hurts.



It really is a hut right now.



Time to get started on fishing. Any Melanie catches can be food for the household. Chesly's catches will be saved for the home business he is going to start and sold from there to the rest of the town. FOOD SUPPLY! Seriously, I am so happy about this.

Of course right after this pic was taken I remembered to set the season to winter and a few hours later the pond  froze over thus making things difficult in a whole new way.



They are going to be eating Melanie's fish until they run out. Want to make the food in the fridge last as long as possible so I have at least one house where food is not a constant issue.



And thus begins the frozen pond waiting game where this, eating and sleeping is all that happens.



Waiting for the pond to thaw routine is monetarily interrupted by the baby bump.



Chesly? What are you doing?



Oh, I see. Those loans have ridiculous interest. You sure about this?

The baby is not going to wait, the pond is still frozen and we don't even have wallpaper.

Fair enough.



Melanie? Why are you not at school? The bus didn't come and there is no option to walk either.



I'm not going. I already have an A+. I won't ever be going to college and the baby is due any day now.

O.o this house is full of sims with minds of their own.



So they got their walls covered .. in purple.



Lots and LOTS of purple. Also bedroom, an actual kitchen, and a nursery.



Time to make this all official before the baby is born.



The whole neighbourhood was invited, because the whole neighbourhood is really not that many at this point.




That awkward moment when you show up wearing the same dress as your mother-in-law. Sorry Rebeka, not much I can do abot it until Amber or Melanie gets a gold sewing badge.

Also, short person next to Rebeka is Wilford so you can see what he grew up to look like.




Formal wear, Dominick, have you heard of it?

This is my formal wear.

... I still hate your skin.

I know.



So, a wedding was had, couples groped each other and children were employed to run interference between Alexander and Braden so there would be no fights. A fun afternoon was in store.



Then this happened!



Bad Isiah! BAD! She has an intended and you are not it!

And then everyone was promptly sent home before more damage could be done.



Why do sewing badges take so long? She's been at this every moment her motives will let her and still does not have a bronze badge :(



I need to find out if there is a fix for the messed up hair and clothes. On the other hand: POINTY EARS!!!!! Also, I am fairly certain the baby is approaching waaaay overdue at this point.




The pond is still frozen and the interest is piling up on that loan Chesly took out. Which is when I decided to see if the pond would be thawed at the park.



It was!



He got in a full day fishing before I sent him  home because he was about to drop where he stood.



See what I mean about the interest? He had enough fish to start selling them now though.



Humble beginnings for the local fish monger.



Seriously, that interest hurts.



The cold didn't help any either.



Sally Tipple (Tripple?? Something like that) continues her spree of drunken debauchery and passing out at local businesses.




Why has she not frozen to death? Though at least her outerwear leaves significantly less of her on display than usual!



I had them close the business and move the fire barrel inside so Melanie could warm up before she froze to death. That baby is way, way, way overdue now. I am sure of it.



She did finally show up though! Yes, SHE!!!!! YAY!!!!

Oh, and Chesly managed to make a dent in the loan as well.



Meet Kari Channing, only the fourth girl born in this hood.



Still no badge :(



I am getting way better at remembering birthdays.



OMG! Cute!



Chesly rolled the want to teach her to walk, so he did that.



Melanie is still plugging away at those badges. :/



They opened the store again to empty out the last of Chesly's fish stockpile and pay off the loan.



Loan is paid off!! (the customers are responsible for the snow art .. and destroying one of them) and they even managed to get a little put away in the bank.

With the founding of the second household for Team Murphy and a total of 10 sims in play they finish out the week with a score of 40!

*correction* When I actually look at the score sheet and not go from memory they have a score of 50. 1 badge+2 houses+2 utilities x 10 sims = 50.
