So, this is my restart. As I mentioned earlier, one of Aurora's portraits disappeared when I was trying to place it in the museum, and I couldn't get it back for the life of me. The sad thing was that I really liked the house I had built and I didn't want it to go... which means that I spent a massive amount of time drawing it out on graph paper and making notes of what kind of wallpaper and floor and all that good stuff. It's almost an exact replica! I also did it because I didn't want this redo to have a whole different set of room designs and clash with the first post.
Now let us return to Aurora.
Ch. 2: Meet the Nooboo, Beauty and the BeastShe and Jon have grown quite far apart. Aurora has maxed her Gardening skill and is a level 8 Gardener. She's also a level 7 cook and has achieved her lifetime wish of Perfect Garden. Jon has maxed both the Painting and Sculpting skills and continues sculpting to bring in some more income.They already have full ownership of Divisadero Budget Books, and are saving up to purchase Lost Willow Park. Aurora can't get over how distant she and Jon are becoming, though. She remembers when they were so in love, and she wants that closeness again. She only gets to spend a small part of eternity with her love.
So, one day she and Jon take a break from their daily tasks and focus on each other. They spend hours sharing secrets and talking and just sitting with each other. They slowly move to the bedroom and continue talking more. It was a magical day.
The next morning, Aurora takes a seat in the living room and has an insatiable craving for watermelon. Luckily, she has grown plenty of watermelon in her garden and eats nothing else for the next few days.
And wouldn't you know! Aurora is pregnant! She tells Jon the news. He seems pretty happy about it.
For the next few days, Jon spends some more time sculpting, and Aurora goes back to her garden. Jon has a slightly terrifying experience while sculpting with metal.
Soon after, Aurora goes into labor! Right behind the brick fence surrounding the house. At night. Not so great for good pictures, lol. Also, her maternity-wear was a little disoriented. (PS. Does anyone know how to select what maternity-wear you want your sim to wear? I can't plan her outfit at the dresser.)
Welcome Belle, everybody! The Beauty and the Beast Princess (and my personal favorite Disney movie). Both Aurora and Jon love her very much. Her traits are Brave and Artistic.
The two new parents take great care of their nooboo, and they throw a little house party to show her off. However, the party doesn't exactly go as planned. The Grim Reaper comes to take poor old Ron Lee away. Even so, everyone seems to have a blast. I guess not even Grim himself can ruin Aurora's party!
Belle birthday quickly arrives. Aurora throws another shindig. She needs to get working on those Best Friends, after all. Here's little Belle as a toddler. She has her mother's eyes and face and her father's hair and nose, a healthy combination of both genetics, I think.
Did I mention that Belle received an Imaginary Friend? Her name is Mrs. Potts. Belle sure does love Mrs. Potts.
Aurora and Jon have finally saved up the $33,000 it costs to purchase and upgrade Lost Willow Park. It was already level two when purchased, so I just changed the fire pit area into more of a play area.
Before:
After:
Jon and Aurora spend a lot of time with their precious Belle. Aurora spends a lot of time teaching her a certain subject. Aurora knows that Belle won't understand it just yet, but she has a feeling that Belle will come to appreciate her lesson one day.
Jon completes her portrait, ice sculpture, and photograph. He makes sure to potty train Belle very quickly. He also teaches her to walk. Look at this adorable little girl!
It's birthday time again! Another party and another birthday cake. Man, this fridge is getting way too full of cake. Mom and Dad are both
very excited!
Here's Belle!
Next time, be prepared for Belle's unusual friend, a look into the museum, romance, and some unexpected humiliation.
