Wow! The scene with the Diva boy was just too funny! My daughter and I laughed at his faces!
Though that broken neck at the end, wow, not sure he'll ever be the same. And the look---I think Ida has a new conquest! lol
Definitely not spouse material!

Believe me, after having an heir Diva father with his sister marrying a Diva, then his youngest daughter inheriting the Diva trait too, that was enough for me!
And now that I've put that in writing, it will probably be a trait one of my next gen gets! Because, you know, that's how things work, especially in Sims!

Sorry to see Katara go, but with kittens on the way, it makes the loss a bit easier to handle.

Chapter 120 - Bending & Burning

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Although Ophelia seems interested in Aubrey from last chapter, there's one more dude I'd like her to spend some time with. (We have a gazillion options here, so why not try them all? Or like, a third of them. Because all would take forever.) She and Carl Almeria are attracted to each other, so they've got that going for them.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The day of their first date also happens to be Nico's young adult birthday. He decides to throw the family's first party in quite a while (as far as I can remember...this generation is kind of a blur). It was going to be an evening party, but I accidentally forget to change the time in the pop-up window, so SURPRISE! It's happening right this second!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ida doesn't mind. She LOVES the idea of having a cocktail at eleven in the morning.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The guests start arriving. Keira goes straight for her BFF for a long-overdue hug.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Their date was cut short, but Ophelia and Carl meet up again at the party. Look, they're even matching!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Too bad Carl acts all creeped out when Ophelia tries to flirt with him. :(

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Carl goes all "Somebody in this group has some unresolved issues" and makes like a tree. Ophelia makes a beeline for the bar, because what else do you do when you get rejected by your 45th prospective husband?

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I don't get a lot of good screenshots of this party, because this house, while stunning, is really hard to get good screenshots in. Everybody scatters to the four corners of the house and drifts among the stony rooms and I just can't keep track of what anybody's doing. But here's Zackary and his drop-dead gorgeous sister having a go at the piano, for your enjoyment.

If you're worried about Ophelia and her romantic prospects...don't be. She doesn't even give me time to be worried for her. Why?

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Because Aubrey is at this party, too. Ophelia spends about two seconds in his presence before she decides to make her own wish come true.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Wha...?? Ophelia...I have a girlfriend!"

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"...But she doesn't have to know about this. Kiss me again, Loveland!"

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Ahhh, my beautiful niece is learning how to steal a man! I'm so proud!"

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

So Ophelia and Aubrey are romantic interests now. There isn't time for them to become an official couple, because Nico is about to blow out his candles!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

...and set everything on fire.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Katara, Katara, how I miss you! If only you were here to put out this fire with your masterful waterbending..."

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Of course it's our resident Empress of Evil who finally gets around to saving everyone's lives. Thanks, Ida.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Gosh, this is the most exciting birthday party ever!"

I've literally never seen Josie look excited about any sort of action or chaos before. Even Ronny looks confused.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The second attempt goes smoothly, and Nico becomes a grown-up under the rising Monte Vista moon.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nico's final trait is Daredevil, which I guess fits a guy who just set his birthday party on fire. This rounds out his other traits: Evil, Loves the Outdoors, Absent-Minded, and Irresistible. I didn't have an exact plan in mind for Nico, but suddenly it becomes very clear when I see his top five LTW options. Irresistible, Daredevil, Loves the Outdoors? He's a born acrobat!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

He's got to get in shape first, though. He starts right away by training on the treadmill. (And waving to Ada as she runs by on her way home from work. Hi, Ada!)

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The next day, Nico graduates in the most freaking awesome City Hall known to man. I wish I could've graduated in a castle.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nico is voted Valedictorian and Most Likely to Save the World. Which is interesting, considering he's Evil. But okay. (As you can see, everybody's still mourning Katara. Including me.)

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Before night falls, Nico zips over to the Performance Park to inquire about becoming an acrobat. As always, the proprietor completely overlooks the fact that this random stranger has zero experience or acrobatic talent and offers him a job on the spot.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

This exciting day concludes with the arrival of two new family members. Mai gives birth to two adorable, nigh-identical kittens. Everyone, meet Toph and Suki. :)

Chapter 121 - The Enthusiasm Continues

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I sort of can't believe that Katara's genes are still going this strong. I wish Mai had passed some of her coloring on in some way, but hey. At least Suki inherited her mom's floppy-tipped ears. :) For that exact reason, Suki is chosen to stay in the household long-term. Toph moves in with Keira and Tina. It's kind of miraculous that they have any household space with all their pets - Toph will have plenty of kitty friends to play with.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nico starts work as an acrobat. Although part of me likes to imagine him as an evil firefighter or something else ridiculous...his faces when he's acrobatting make up for any regrets.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I just snicker anytime I catch him at it.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

He's great material for the paparazzi, too. Now if only they would tip him. *sigh*

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

After many, many years of constant practice, Josie finally maxes her final instrument, piano, late one evening as her son and kitty cats look on. I'm so proud of you, Jo :'(

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ida is still on her mean streak, if you're wondering. Now that she knows how to use that megaphone, it's all she wants to do. And it doesn't help that she gets home from work at 3 am with plenty of energy to spare before going to bed at breakfast time. She's perfectly set up to scare her niece and nephew awake every morning.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

It's good timing, then, that Ophelia has just developed the ability to meditate. She needs that peace of mind more than ever.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nico earns his first promotion from practicing mime at home. He then makes his first appearance at the Performance Park, with proper makeup this time.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

After a long day of standing very still, Nico stops over at the Rossi house. It's dark, but not too dark to ask Ada to come visit the Loveland household for a special surprise.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Oooh, a surprise?! For ME???!"

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Surprise, Ada, you're becoming a woman today! You get to blow out birthday candles by force! Isn't that exciting?

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

This is happening because Ada still has a few days left as a teen otherwise, and I'm impatient to get her into the family. That's pretty much it.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Apparently Ada is destined to be a mid-level journalist.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I don't know what this weirdly complete outfit is about. But Ada knows what she's about. Before I can catch her and send her to a dresser, she runs off to the kitchen for a snack and positively freaks out about the prospect of food. Been there, girl.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

That's where Nico corners her and asks her if she wants to eat food out of his fridge all the time. You know, by moving in.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

So Ada Rossi joins the household, and boy am I happy to have her! She's adorable, and even more so with a new outfit and a haircut. Ada's traits are Excitable (duh), Easily Impressed (hence the excitement about normal-quality country bread), Vehicle Enthusiast (the enthusiasm just goes on and on), Shy (awww!), and Proper (okay she's officially perfect). She likes Hip Hop music, Stu Surprise, and the color Turquoise. Her Lifetime Wish, interestingly, is Golden Tongue, Golden Fingers. And the game has NOT placed her in the journalism or investigator career; nope, the moment she aged up, the game decided that business was the field for Ada. Which actually works pretty well with her LTW.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ada spends her first night in the household, and the next morning, Nico postpones his acrobatic adventures to take her on a date to the ruins outside town. There, he works his Irresistible magic once again.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nico: "So...how would you like to look at this face forever, darlin'?"
Ada: *SCREAMS*

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Of course she says yes, with the most excitement possible for a Sim. :)

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Nicky!"
"Ada-bear!"

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Well that was adorable. I don't know if it's because he's on a lovesick high or what, but Nico definitely has a great day miming for tips after that proposal. I mean, a crowd actually gathers. For a level 2 acrobat. In Monte Vista. People don't gather here! They just don't!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The bug-eyed excitement continues that evening. Ophelia is aging up to young adult at last! :o

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Wait, but...my boyfriend! I still don't have a boyfriend!"

Oh, fishsticks. I completely forgot about Aubrey. Aubrey's still a teen, and he's still dating somebody else!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Don't look so worried, Ophelia, I'm sure it'll be fine! :-\

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I hope so, anyway. That's a big whoopsie on my part. Anyhoo, Ophelia ages up into a lovely lady and becomes a Mooch. This seals the deal: Nico is definitely the heir. Ophelia, I love you much, but...yeah. Her other traits are Grumpy, Disciplined, Angler, and Dog Person. She decides to be a Canine Companion for her Lifetime Wish. She'll need to accomplish that one on her own, unfortunately.

We're so close to the end of our time here in Monte Vista. It's almost time to move to the penultimate town!

Byeeee Ophelia, I'll envy your six dog life though. :( It's forever cat time in this household now and you got a bobtail! They're quite a bit more common in the game than in real life though.

I just spent a couple of days catching up to this story and I admit I'm in love with the Lovelands. Too bad there's only two towns left, but I'm keeping up from now on.

Thank you so much, butterfly! <3 Gosh, sorry it took me literal weeks to reply. Thanks for reading and commenting. :)

Chapter 122 - Sweet, Yet Terrifying

Ada is one of those sims who is really fun to do things with, purely because of the faces she makes while doing them. So when she's chatting with Ronny and the option to "Ask for Son's Hand" comes up...I just have to try it.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Oh, Mr. Loveland - good Sir Ronald - I can't begin to express how DESPERATELY I love your son, and how HUMBLY I have come to ask for your permission to wed him! I wish him to be mine forever, Sir Ronald--"
"My name is Ronny, not Ronald. And...yeah. Sure. You have my permission."

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"AAHHHHH! Sir Ronald, I do thank you wholeheartedly!!"

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Good Sir Ronald, I assure you - I shall never leave your son's side, not ever, not for one moment, no matter what chaos may come our way!"

She's Proper, okay? She's Proper and Excitable. :D

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Well, regardless of (ahem) Sir Ronald's involvement, the wedding must go on. I can't throw a party at the Etruscan Park for some ungodly reason, so Nico doesn't get his wish to host a wedding party. It's just an intimate family affair - at sundown, as is the Monte Vista way.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nico and Ada exchange vows in the warm golden light of the Italian countryside.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

This is perhaps the most solemn they've ever looked.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Congratulations to the newest Mr. and Mrs. Loveland!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

One more picture of this wedding spot, for posterity, and because it's so beautiful.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

After the ceremony, the family gets down and boogies in the tumbling ruins.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Sir Ronald Ronny supplies the funny faces this time around. Nico did get most of his face from Ronny...Ronny just doesn't utilize his very much.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The night concludes with a bonfire. Everyone calmly warms their hands under the cooling evening sky, being careful not to catch their long dresses and trouser legs in the flames.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Well, except Ada, of course. She immediately starts throwing test tubes on the fire.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

*shudder* So sweet, yet so terrifying.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

It's a night to remember, and it makes me sad to be leaving this most scenic of towns (as laggy as it has become in recent days).

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nico and Ada spend their wedding night in a special room on the top floor of the Mucho Espresso Cafe, which has been renovated just for them. (As in, I put a bed in. And added a light. And that's it.)

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The next day, both Ophelia and Ada graduate. Ophelia is Valedictorian and...doesn't get a superlative. :( I guess her jumble of traits is just too jumbly. Ada graduates with Merit and is voted Most Likely to be Mediocre. Yeah, no.

Now, as we saw in the last chapter...I kind of forgot about Ophelia's boyfriend. Or rather, the fact that she doesn't have one. I haven't fallen head over heels for any of the guys she's spent time with, but Ophelia has rolled romantic wishes for one guy and one guy only: Aubrey Rivers-Modena.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

So she invites him over that afternoon and plunks a cake in front of him. He looks...really not excited.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

He quickly puts on a smile, though. Wait, who are you smirking at, Aubrey? Ophelia's behind you...

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

...uhhh, who is THAT?

Wow. Just wow. You know who that is? IT'S AUBREY'S GIRLFRIEND, Holli Perry-Ferrari. (Yes, she's the sister of droopy-eyed Zackary. You'd never know, would you?) Aubrey brought his girlfriend along on this little jaunt to the Lovelands! The audacity!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Oh, you're lucky you're cute, Aubrey. Because I am FURIOUS with you right now.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

At least the family seems to recognize that Holli being here is a bit of an insult. She starts playing games on the computer, and the adults in the house gather around, waiting for her to finish so they can ask her to behave. I think Josie's face says it all, really.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Quickly, Ophelia asks the million dollar question of Will you surrender yourself to Watcher control immediately please and thank you?

He does. And as soon as he's part of the family, Aubrey goes over to tell Holli to buzz off. Holli actually looks devastated, and confused, which honestly is very realistic.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"You mean you're suddenly too old for me, and you no longer have control over your love life, and you're supposed to marry the woman in the next room instead of me?"

Then she gets mad.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Don't even try to comfort me, Rivers-Modena. You aged up into an ugly outfit and I'm way out of your league anyway. I am through with you!"

You tell him, Holli. I wish you the best. Even though this is entirely my fault.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Well, we snagged him, even if it was unpleasant to do so. Aubrey joins the household and reveals himself to be pretty much as mediocre as he looks. This dude is a Friendly, Adventurous Light Sleeper, a Genius, and a Daredevil, and he likes Geek Rock, Vegetarian Dim Sum, and hot pink. His LTW is to be a Dynamic DNA Profiler and he currently has a job in Law Enforcement.

We are super close to moving to the penultimate town. Get excited!

Chapter 123 - One Last Moon

Aubrey spends his first night in the Loveland household...and his first morning. He gets to discover the early morning ritual of all the Lovelands gathering in their pajamas and underwear to listen to Josie play piano.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ophelia tries to distract him. "This is just my family, Aubrey! And you're a part of it now! Isn't it all so charming?"

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

When Aubrey still looks a bit wigged out, Ophelia tries to quell him with a kiss.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And when THAT doesn't work, she takes it a step further and proposes! (Poor Ronny is just watching his daughter propose to her man in a nightie and there's nothing he can do about it.)

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Yep, the whole family is here to witness this knicker-infested scene. At least Josie is aggressively playing "The Entertainer" in the background.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Thank goodness Aubrey says yes, cheered on by the eerie red glow of Aunt Ida and the armpit fumes of Nico.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

With that settled, I'd really like to go ahead and get these kiddos married. Nope! Aubrey's got to graduate first. I like this picture because both he and Josie look SO SAD for no discernible reason.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

That evening, Keira is invited over for one last family event. The game has already aged her up, it appears.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Uh, darling? What are you doing?"
"Preparing to wallop you if you try to wiggle out of this."
"Why would I do that?"
"You tell me."

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I've been unsure about Aubrey's commitment to Ophelia, but he goes along with the ceremony just fine. And doesn't Ophelia just look so glowy!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

One last sunset here in Monte Vista. *sigh*

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And one last moon rising over the sea. (Please enjoy Keira and Ada vaguely mimicking Ophelia in the background.) Congratulations, Ophelia and Aubrey Loveland!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Oh hey, there's Tina! We invited her along with Keira, but she didn't show up to the wedding until afterward. She must have walked all the way up the hill with her cane, the poor thing.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I should have guessed that this was about to go down. Once darkness falls, a new light arises. The light of elderhood!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ida: "Ha ha, we're aging up in REVERSE ORDER! Oh, the irony!"

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ida really does get lucky in this situation. Keira, the youngest, aged up a whole day early; then Josie, the middle triplet, goes next, followed by unrelated-except-by-marriage Ronny.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Then, finally, Ida's turn comes.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Just after she ages up to elder, Ida gets a phone call. It's from Franco, her old secret lover whom we haven't seen or heard from in ages! (He was bitten by the invisibility bug for a good few decades. Since aging up to elder, he seems to have reappeared.) He calls Ida, asking if she wants to meet him up at the Colosseum. At 3 am. And does she? Heck yes she does!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

But Franco doesn't show. Poor old Ida gets stood up on her first date in decades. She lets out an appropriately dramatic moan of lovesick rage. (Turns out she and Keira are still grouped up from the wedding invite. So at least Keira is there to be like, "Girl, forget him.")

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And with that, we're ready to make a break for the next town! The sun rises, and off we go.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ciao, Monte Vista.

I know! If I'd been able to track Franco down, I'd have given Ida an opportunity to slap him. I'd really like to find her a new lover in the next town...here's hoping!

Chapter 124 - Spooky

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The Lovelands make the journey to Moonlight Falls, that misty, spooky land that is so perfect for this time of year. I couldn't have timed it better. Except I definitely wanted some magical blood in the family ages ago. But anyway!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Here's the house for this generation, located at 114 Wood Street. It's Victorian as heck (such that it's called Victoria's Victorian Home), and also cute as heck.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Aside from a few furniture adjustments, I left the house pretty much as-is. Here's the ground floor, with plenty of proper-looking seating areas (Ada will appreciate those), a smallish kitchen, a dining room, and a nice light-filled porchy thing that I'm calling the Conservatory.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Upstairs are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and yet another seating area, this one with a TV, foosball table, and rocking chairs. (Spoiler alert: the elders of the family will hang out here. And nowhere else.)

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Finally, the topmost floor has a couple more bedrooms and, wow, two more bathrooms. This house looks cozy and a little smooshed, but it is more than spacious enough for this big family.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

First things first: the lovely Ophelia must find a place of her own. She's ready to start married life with Aubrey and start adopting dogs. (I'll be watching closely to make sure she does.)

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nico helps get Ophelia out the door by scaring her half to death. Sorry, Ophelia. Please come back to visit, okay?

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The couple ends up moving to a farmhouse-type-place just down the road. Bye, guys! We'll see you soon!

The family starts settling into their new home under the chilly grey skies. Because this is Moonlight Falls, we of course have to bring back Bonehilda.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"I'm ready to start cleaning!"

I've never seen such an excited Bonehilda before.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nico and Ada continue to be adorable. Nico's blown kisses never fail to send Ada swooning.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

In preparation for furthering his acrobatic career, Nico starts jogging. It's also a nice way to explore the town and almost get run over by werewolves and deer (not pictured).

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

He also starts performing for tips in various downtown areas. This is extra exciting on the night of the first full moon. Fortunately, instead attacking the bendy boy right in front of her, this particular zombie ends up watching him, entranced, before plopping down on a picnic blanket nearby and stuffing her face with sandwiches. Nice lady! I wish her the best.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Josie settles comfortably into elder life. I was particularly sad to see her age up, but somehow old age suits her really well. She can be a recluse all she wants now. And check the newspaper for any magical babies being born. You know. The usual stuff.

Back home, Suki is finally becoming a grown-up cat.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Gyahh! I know Halloween is coming up, but jeez, Suki! Do you have to scare me like that??

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

That's much better.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Possibly because of the full moon or something, Ada wakes up that night feeling sick to her stomach.

She gets introduced to the new paparazzi when she runs outside to puke over the side of the porch.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Paparazzi: "Ooh, ooh! I have the perfect headline for this--Mysterious Woman In Silk Pajamas Projectile Vomits Under Ghastly Glow of--"

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The next day, the real reason is discovered. I must say, I'm shocked. Aren't you shocked?

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Nico's pretty excited to hear that he's going to be a dad.

Ada's excited, too. I mean, she gets excited about everything. But now she gets to go out into town and scope out other pregnant mamas, because she can't go to work anymore and has nothing else to do! When she runs into Marigold Maldano, she does a "Proper Introduction" for the first time ever and oh my god she curtsies.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

"Greetings, future mother-of-a-young-fairy. I am a future mother also, but of the human kind. Mayhap, oughtn't we to become acquaintances for the good of our children?"

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Josie and Nico team up a lot of the time, working off each other's ability to draw a crowd. Moonlight Falls has a much more active townie population than Monte Vista did. And what an interesting population it is! Fairies, vampires, werewolves, witches, everywhere!

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Ida starts working as the Empress of Evil of the new town. It must be going pretty well for her, because she always comes home and wants to prank everybody with the megaphone.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Sorry, Josie. (I just love Ida's face in this picture.)

I have two delightfully random screenshots for you, to end the chapter with.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

First, here's Nico looking confused amid a small circus of cats.

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

And finally, here's Ophelia, caught in the act of dumpster diving somewhere downtown. I guess being in Moonlight Falls means you just get warped all the time. Because, you know...spooky.

Oh, oh, Moonlight Falls for your last town!

It was my 2nd town and where the fairy genetics began in my TJ game with Sophie Rodgers becoming spouse to my heir.

My Sophie was proper too, but I didn't know a 'proper introduction' included a curtsy, she used it to 'properly' dress down Grim every chance she got! :)

And you picked the same house I did, though I ended up adding a 2nd floor to the garage for a work out and skilling space.

Congrats on the expected nooboo for Nico and Ada!

Oh such a perfect final town for the season. I'm hoping for the return of the fairies to the family, hopefully the ones who don't combust that easily  :-\
