Not all of these photos are in order but you'll get the picture. She's getting there.

Some nice flooring. Finally. I'm taking advantage of the bonus money perk. That's what's paying for most of the renovations.


So she lit the oven on fire a few times...



Getting more shelving and products should bring in more customers.


And it's having a good effect.


A bit too poor to fully stock the place though. But I like the wallpaper.


Romance is going fine. Another hand to help around and offer comfort.


Pre Thompson and flooring. Note: when I moved Thomspon in he came with a whopping $2. You read correctly. He came with only two simoleons.


I didn't even know weeds could grow outside of the garden in Sims 2.

Still a better love story than Twilight.

So it's pretty simple to form a relationship when the sims are compatible. Meet Thompson Triarch (he (and his twins) were named are the Triplets from Black Butler... don't judge).
These pictures aren't in order and so the story is a little jumble but this is basically just a tribute to their beginning. I love making families haha.


Got some flooring and wall paint.











Calling him over and over again and being called over and over again helped them progress quite fast.

Work has started. It doesn't reel in a whole lot of money but it's a start. When she gets promoted a few times she'll have plenty to start gradually ascending in the business world. One would hope.


Have to get her logic up. The perfect way for this is the chess table of the telescope. Chess tables are cheaper... so a nice new chess set it was.

The house doesn't look that great but it's a start.


I had to take out the other wall. I needed the money...


Looking for a job on the side to get some extra cash. She might not be able to manage the shop as often but it means a better income and so more money into fixing it up and making it more viable for business.

So to begin with I had a small lot. Because she only has 20,000 of course most of it is going to go on the structure of the house. Sims 2 isn't as flexible as Sims 3 in terms of building and so I started planning what I wanted to last.


I put in all the necessities; toilet, shower, bed, fridge, counter and stove. Then I added the bare minimum I could afford in order to start a business. Money needs to be made!

I added in an easel to get her Fun levels up. She can also sell paintings for extra cash.

So now that I've had my fill of playing as God, I've started a more serious game. No cheats and no making and moving someone in for the extra money and hand. It's going to be my new challenge because my 'This is Elliot Little' Challenge is locked in a broken computer.

Meet Elena Olivier (my apologies for the quality of the pictures. For some reason the settings aren't that great even at high. I'm working to fix it).


So this is going to be a basic challenge. With Elena I'm going to start a business and get to the top level. There aren't any formal rules or anything, I'm just not allowed to use cheats. I've made it a general rule not to keep creating new sims and moving them in for the money but I'm allowing myself to move in a sim if she falls in love with that sim.


So this is where I start.

I couldn't figure it out and then I figured it out...



My shop is chugging along (I am using cheats though so of course) and we have some staff romance going on between owner and employee/roommate. I can't play with a Sim for too long before I create their significant other and set them up. I love making families.

So I've finally got my fix of The Sims but its not from The Sims 3, unfortunately, but instead through the good old Sims 2. I like Diner Dash and so had re-installed some of the old ones I had and had been playing them over and over because I can't play The Sims 3. Eventually I remembered Open for Business and searched for my old discs. Luckily I hadn't gotten rid of them yet. I was going to send them to an Op-Shop, thinking I wouldn't play them again but alas I was wrong. And so for the past couple of days I've been managing bakeries and super stores.


Better clean up those newspapers...

My sister just sent me this hahaha

My last post was a month ago... and it's because my computer broke and I lost all my data. Hahaha... no it's actually quite sad.. Ah well I guess it gives me the opportunity to start things over again. I had a back up of Elliot Little and my dearest Fennel-D'Avoure family.
I really should have been working on the construction of this blog but there's been so much to do in the real life. Sometimes I'd like to just hit pause hehe.


Happy Simming!

I haven't played Sims for almost two months. I think I'm going to start having withdrawals soon -_-
