Chapter 10: Harley has a Snow Day

{Note:  I've recently had some issues with my computer.  So this will be the last post for a while.  The saves have been preserved, and my game should be back up and running within a few weeks.  Stay tuned for more}

The next morning, Harley has breakfast, then heads off to school

While Ella sleeps, Devin eats a noon meal over the fire.

Devin catches some valuable fish today.

After school, Harley joins his father by the river to fish.

That night the family has a total of $16,152.  Devin explores the catacombs to find:  Woohooium ($645), Unknown Special Seed ($0).  This brings the total up to $16,797

Ella tries to explore the catacombs too, but she find's nothing.

The night concludes with some more father-son fishing.

Devin goes to sleep on a nearby empty lot.

Harley has a snow day today, so he spends the morning fishing by the river.  His parents both went to camp for the morning, but he's not afraid to be alone.

That night they got the news that Princess Windy is now a Toddler.  After selling their goods, the family has $17,337

After eating dinner Ella explores the catacombs.  She finds a book: Inappropriate Manor ($155), bringing us up to $17,492

Afterwards she joins Devin and Harley who've set up camp in the local park.  There they sleep for the rest of the night.

Chapter 9: Wintertime

Ella decided to end her fishing early, and swim in the beautiful bay.

She used a hollow reed grass to breathe with while she was under water, a trick she learned from the gypsies.

While swimming she finds a Cowry Shell that she can sell for $23 to a jewelry maker.

Harley found his first day at school very exhausting.  He meets his parents at the Feudal Fishing Spot, and camps for the rest of the afternoon.

Meanwhile Ella and Devin do some more fishing.  That night, when they sell their goods, the family has $11,512.

Harley and Ella camp for the rest of the night, but Devin explores the catacombs.  He finds a quartz ($15), and a putrid quality tomato seed ($2).

Devin find's a neighbor's trashcan unguarded, and decides to see what he can find there.  He finds:  Trash, a Tiberium gemstone ($95), a rubber duck ($40), and 30 units of scrap ($60)  After selling these goods, the family has $11,722

That morning, Ella teaches Harley how to fish.

 She's so proud when he catches his first minnow.

The family gathers by the campfire to cook some fresh fish.

The next day is a Saturday, so Harley works on his homework while his parents fish.

Ella and Harley fish while Devin sleeps the afternoon away.

After selling their fish, the family has $12,352.  The Princess twins have now grown up into children. Princess Cecilia is Virtuoso, Genius, and a Snob.  Princess Lynne is Grumpy, Friendly, and Artistic.

 After exploring the Catacombs, Devin finds nothing, Ella finds 2 seeds worth $34 together, and Harley finds Mummitomium ($973), and an Unknown Rare Seed ($21)

After finding nothing in the catacombs, Devin digs through a neighborhood trashcan.  He finds:  finds Mood light candle ($65), 20 units of scrap ($40), and a lot of trash.

Meanwhile the first of the winter's snow begins to fall.

 A new Princess was born, Princess Windy, who is a couch potato, and friendly.
After selling goods the family now has $13,485

Devin finishes the night by fishing

While Ella and Harley go to an empty lot to camp out.

The family's favorite fishing hole is frozen over

Fortunately the fish in the bay are still hungry.

Later that morning the family gathers for fresh cooked fish over an open fire.

 Devin then sleeps for a few hours.

 While Ella and Harley go out to the bay to fish.

Ella received an offer to clean the pipes at city hall for some extra cash.  After dark she heads town to the city hall to do that.

 Meanwhile Devin and Harley explore the catacombs.  Devin has another unlucky day, but Harley finds a Mysterious Mr. Gnome ($988) and unknown rare seed ($5).  After selling all their goods the family now has a total of $15,471

Ella spends the wee hours of the morning fishing by the river.

One disadvantage to the way the gym is built, despite having two showers in each bathroom, two males cannot shower at the same time.  I'm tempted to rebuild, but for now it will have to do.

After their showers, Devin and his son Harley return to the "Home" lot to camp out for the rest of the night, while Ella remains out fishing until the late morning.

Chapter 8: Harley becomes a Child

While Ella remains imprisoned, Devin tries his best to make her proud by fishing.

He eventually camps out at Crios Pond

The guards allow Ella to leave her cell to care for little Harley when he started to cry. [Look for this exception to be added to the "Challenge Instructions" page soon]

However, once Harley was settled, it was back to her cell for Ella.

Devin wakes up and decides to go on a gathering expedition in the area around Crios Pond.  He found a Cosmos Flower ($600) and a Moonstone ($594)

As the sun sets that day, Harley grows into a child.  He gets the trait "Insane" during the transformation process. 

Here little Harley waits for his father to pick him up.  At Night, Children have a strict curfew in the game, so Homeless children must remain with a parent, through the "Go Here With" interactions, or be grounded to the "Home Lot" until the next morning.

Harley follows his father to the market to sell his goods.  The family now has $10,898.  Then He follows his dad to the graveyard, as his dad tries to tackle that bear one more time.  Devin leaves the catacombs with nothing, again.  By this time Harley is very tired.

Devin decides to take his son to the McCafferty Pub, where he can shower.

 And his son can sleep.

Devin decided to chat up the barmaid.

She must have had a crush on him because she let him have a drink for 1/2 the price.

The next morning they head to the "Home Lot" where Ella meets them.

Harley is not amused by all their hugging.

Devin is all tired out now, he decides to sleep for the rest of the morning.

Harley heads to school for his first day.  The nuns who teach are charitable to poor children.

Ella, having napped through most of the last day, heads out to the river to fish.
