Bela's Sim Stories

 You won't catch me buying moola, but this maker pack and another one with a couch were free today on the marketplace so I grabbed them. The shoes are kind of cute. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Honey's parents took Melody to the park so Honey and Rowan could go on a Romantic Date for their aspiration. I added some toddler stuff to the park for Melody to be able to play. They went to the nightclub, even though it was only midday. Which was nice, because there weren't that many people there. Honey asked Rowan to put on a flirty costume. Let's see what he picks. Okay. And Honey, what will you pick? Niiiiiiice. It's too funny not to keep them in these. That's a pretty big heart. They got gold on their date and headed downstairs (sans the costumes) to mingle at the bar. Looks like some of their friends were there too.

 It's funny that Rowan got this popup after Tae got a call from him in his simverse about it. It was meant to be I guess. He did get the promotion! Being a workaholic is making Rowan very tense a lot...I'm having flashbacks to his teen days. Thankfully Honey is able to calm his emotions.  He's also worried about Melody though. Around the full moon she becomes a lot more difficult to handle.  Rowan: When she was raging at the moon like that, it reminded me of myself. When my parents would leave me alone, I would feel so angry. I would go outside and yell at the full moon. Eventually I started to like when they were gone. I would come to your house, and I felt calm there...  Honey: Your parents would leave you on a full moon? Rowan: Yes, it always was a full moon I think... I never thought anything of it then. Honey: It's probably nothing to worry about. She's just a toddler; they have tantrums, it's normal. She wasn't alone, my parents were here with her. Row...

 Rowan went in to work and Honey spent the day at home with Melody. After breakfast they went to the museum in Newcrest (It's actually the one from Nordhaven that I moved there). It wasn't exactly interesting to a little toddler.  Still, they managed to have fun.  After work, Rowan took Honey out on a date to a restaurant in Newcrest. They had to wait a long time for their food, since their waitress dropped it the first time. They did eventually get served though. After dinner they found a cozy spot outside to watch the stars. And make cinnamon rolls. Then they shared Chocolate covered strawberries and Mochi.  That fulfilled a lot of the Romantic Explorer aspiration. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Later that night, they found Melody out of bed, ranting and raging at the full moon. Rowan got her calmed down and back into bed, but the whole thing did worry him a little bit...

 Here's Honey's new looks from left to right: Everyday, Formal, Party, Hot-weather, Cold-weather, Swimwear. Everything is from Lovestruck except her everyday sandals which I don't remember which ones I picked. I'm sorry I always do this. Just pick whichever sandals look good. Her shoes with her hot-weather outfit are the sweet allure kit ones. And her cold weather shoes are from Seasons. Her athletic wear stayed the same, and her sleepwear is some sexy Lovestruck underwear that are just for Rowan to see. 😎 Oh and her swimwear stayed the same, I just picked a different color. Edit: oh and her cold weather pants are base game! Don't worry about Rowan's, but here's his everyday look: And Maple looking adorable in a new dress: They both relinquished their fairy essence and are both non-occult now. I'll be working on their house now so it will still be a day or two before they can officially move.

Despite trying to regain her passion for her job, Honey is thinking it's time to move on.  Still, she got two more promotions and completed her aspiration. Her and Rowan both somehow got the workaholic lifestyle. So when Honey quit her dead end job, she got a new fear: fear of failure, which sent her into a state of grief. Honey: Rowan, I've been thinking it's time to move on. From Innisgreen and from my job, and even from being a fairy. My work has failed me and fairy magic has failed me. I don't know how much more failure I can take. Rowan understood; failing to have another child had been weighing heavy on him too. Both of them agreed that they'd like to take more time to spend with each other as a family and with Melody. Rowan: Let's just focus on us for now. You, me, and Melody. 

Uncle Tate came over to visit. He and April just had their baby. Honey said next time you come over...bring the baby!   Honey maxed her apothecary skill and was able to craft The Holistic Cure which is the best thing out there she could find as far as cures go. She figured she would give it a go. It raised all her needs, fixed her balance, and made her feel pretty good, but...could it make her able to get pregnant? There was only one way to find out. .... She's about ready to give up apothecary. She still has her fear of a dead end job and she just needs 2 more promotions before she maxes the career and finishes Elixir Enthusiast. On another note, Rowan takes playing dolls very seriously.
