One 5k wish done! Under no circumstances is he allowed in that time machine though, no matter how many wishes he keeps popping up for it.
Unfortunately just after Sawyer's milestone, Puck had his elder birthday.
Don't worry boy, you still look like a handsome young pup to me. (Truly there's barely a visible difference between adult and elder Puck, lucky dog).
Winter was now only one day away, so before the snow set in I decided to follow Donatello's suggestion to let Sawyer blow up some poor stranger's car. Outside of the pub we found a beautiful Margaret Vaguester that was just asking for it.
The explosion didn't blow up the other cars nearby as I was hoping, but it was still spectacular. Sawyer was obviously pleased
That evening I also attempted to complete another of Sawyer's 5k wishes and a skill journal challenge in one go by creating this maze of chairs and bookcases for him to demo. I'm sorry it's so dark, I just really wanted to see a nighttime explosion.
Ooooh, ahhhhh. This was really a fun endeavor
Lots of cleanup though.
The following day Moonlight Falls got it's first blizzard, and thus began the long winter during which Sawyer's family did nothing but try to break computers for him to repair while he worked feverishly to complete his 100 big inventions challenge. I'm being an absolute slave-driver here because I'd prefer it if Sawyer didn't age up again, so I'm really trying hard to finish all of his requirements while he's still a YA. This was much easier to do with Lilith that's for sure.
A handy sim's dream.
There was one member of the family who got to spend the winter simply enjoying himself however.
Puck absolutely
loved the snow, and he certainly didn't let his now creaking old bones stop him from romping around in it.
During this time we also got our first alien visitor.
I was hoping to make him a family friend, but unfortunately he only stayed for a few minutes before zipping off again. He was pretty cute though.
