Y1,S3: Stavros

Last time: Veronica was starting to think she was infertile.  With only one female child, the worry was that their family name was cease to exist.  When she finally gets pregnant, she has a miscarriage (as mention earlier, this module is no longer in the game).  At the end of the season, Monica becomes a child and Veronica manages to get knocked up.

Anatoli:  We are going to have to prove our worth to the other families, Ronnie.
Veronica:  I know.  She’s just so young, I don’t want to push her too hard.
Anatoli:  It can’t be helped.  Just pray that we get a boy, that will be all we need to succeed.

Monica doesn’t really understand what’s going on, she just knows that she works the garden until her hands bleed.

Then after that, she has to fish until she’s about to pass out.

Veronica:  See, Mon, fishing is fun!
Monica:  Says you.

After she starts catching better fish, Monica ends up liking so much that it’s all she wants to do.  The fridge is overflowing with fish, so she starts selling it all.

Her gardening chores are still tedious though.

But even that starts getting easier for her.

Anatoli and Veronica cut down the fruit trees and add more gardening plots.  The trees just don’t do much more than get bugs.

Monica spends all her free time on that garden and it does pay off.

Both Jessica and Joe Chambers stop by.  After hearing them complain about how nothing got done due to all the screaming babies, Monica just laughed at their stupidity.

Monica:  Why not just build a tent?  Or build a new room on to your hut.  I don’t see why you haven’t done this already.

Joe:  Your kid is kind of a brat.  You should have more of them.  Especially boys.  Your name will be nothing soon.
Anatoli:  My daughter will rule this town, just you watch.  I think you and your wife should leave now.

Well, the dog didn’t eat the homework, but the cat scratched it up.  Damn strays.

Sims2EP9 2019-10-19 07-06-51.jpg

Are you kidding me?

Sims2EP9 2019-10-19 07-07-19.jpg

Of course.  Just steal ALL three chairs.

Sims2EP9 2019-10-19 07-08-12.jpg

Oooh.

Sims2EP9 2019-10-19 07-08-54.jpg

There was one wish for money.  Veronica earned that wish.  Her and Monica then wished for Peace of Mind.

With the money, it was put back into the house.  They upgraded the table and replaced the chairs.

This didn’t give Monica any reprieve from the garden though.

75% of the harvest was stocked into the fridge and the rest was sold off.

Veronica and Anatoli welcome a BOY.  His name is Zachary.  The pressure for them is now gone.  They are super ecstatic and the rest of summer is spent in bliss.

With the new addition to the fridge, the food is sparkly again.

Monica still gets up at 5 am every morning to work on the garden.

Anatoli noticed that the new plots have no water and puts in some irrigation.  He then works on the garden so that Monica can have an evening off.

The Stavros family now have an enclosed kitchen and indoor plumbing.

Anatoli gets his gold badge and makes even more money fishing.

Sims2EP9 2019-10-19 07-47-05.jpg

It’s the end of summer for these guys.  They have a bit of family time for fishing.

Then Zachary has his birthday.

Aries, 6/10/10/3/3

Anatoli and Veronica cringe.  He is the least playful child in town and he’s going to be pretty mean on top of it.

They head inside and try for another baby.  It looks like they may need a spare after all.

Monica actually loves to garden and fish.  She was the sole gardener until Anatoli helped out on that last day.

Summer Three Net Worth Cash on Hand Ranking

Stavros $39,254 $18,072 1

Going by Net worth, the Stavros’ have 1st place, but if you go by actual banked money, it’s the Stenberg’s.  It will be interesting watching how this develops.
