Winter Thyme has maxed out her cooking skill and is currently working hard on garden and fishing. She has only chosen one unique LTR so far, No Bills Ever. Figured it was a good one to get right off the bat so the rest of the dynasty never has to worry. Today was a sad day though. Her beloved husband Marc Thyme was greeted by the Grim Reaper while sculpting a topiary as a gift for her garden. She has left the unfinished piece of art as a shrine to him until she can afford to purchase land for his and the other dynasty spouses resting ground. At first, Justin Thyme, their son, was very angry. He felt his mother should have some how done something to make his dad's life better. He's adjusted now and sees how very much in love they were. Justin takes after his dad in looks and abilities. He is already a proficient painter but has not decided what branch of this talent to pursue. He will be the dynasty artist. Winter has the sad chore of finding another artist to marry so Justin can have his teen age and young adult paintings done, though her heart will always belong to Marc.
Something that really bugs me is the inability to travel at first. Winter is constantly getting skill challenges that could increase her skill points but they are all wrapped around going somewhere else. Like, make stir fry or bring in pomegranates. It's very annoying as she has so few places where she can gain these much needed points. I'm trying hard to NOT max out gardening, just get to the point where I can grow life fruit and death flowers, (I'm there now), and ditto with fishing. Just need to catch death fish. Really hard to not wind up maxing them though.
Am I the only one who cries when a Sim dies? My hubby thought I was a bit nuts today.
