Ethan Smithe is raising his three kids alone after his wife Dagmar left. He starts dating Lilly, who moves in. Though they have some relationship issues, including fires caused by Lilly's cooking, they get engaged and married. Lilly gets pregnant. The household overcomes challenges with the kids and finances. By the end of the rotation, the family is growing with a new baby on the way.
2. Welcome back to Arbor Watch! It’s finally the Smithes’
turn. Last season Dagmar walked out on Ethan and
her three kids, Benedict, Leon and Cassie. Poor Ethan
has to figure out how to raise three kids on his own.
3. Day One begins in the middle of the night, like all
good days do. All the Smithes are up and Ethan is
trying to teach all three how to do their homework.
With Soda supervision of course.
4. The family hangs out a bit before the school
bus arrives. Ethan is a pretty good dad, he
sends most of his free time interacting with
the kids.
5. The bus arrives at last and the kids are off.
Ethan has the whole day to himself.
6. Not to himself no long at least. Ethan did a
few chores so his house didn’t look like a
pigsty and phone Lilly Do over.
8. Ethan proposed and of course Lilly accepted. He’s
moving a little quick after Dagmar leaving, but I’m eager
to get Lilly and Ethan together. They are a much better
fit than him and Daggie dearest.
9. And of course she moves in too and they take advantage
of some alone time.
And of course that’s is been so long since I played I can’t
remember how much funds Lilly brought in. But she did
bring in a good bit. She’s a knowledge sim that wants to
max all 7 skills.
10. Lilly falls asleep and Ethan gets up to make
a quick lunch before he heads off to work.
Classy Ethan just leave Lilly home alone just
after she moves in.
11. So much snow ^.^. If you can’t tell I love snow,
especially Arbor Watch covered in snow.
12. I went ahead and replaced the mic with a guitar since
Lilly brought in some money. No one would go up on
stage and play with the mic. Hopefully the guitar will be
irresistible.
13. The customers soon start piling in. Thankfully
sims don’t have to worry about the melting
snow ruining the hardwood floors. Smithe
Underground is one of my favorite businesses
but despite the good customer flow it takes
forever to get any stars.
15. Ethan works in the back making toys, leaving
his patrons to their own devices.
16. The club is still a favorite of the older
townies of Arbor Watch. I swear a third
of the customers are elders. I’m going to
have to make a bingo room or something.
17. Back home the kids are home from school. And
Benedict is not to thrilled with Leon from some
reason. Benedict looks just like my little brother
when he gets frustrated.
18. And Lilly is…crying? Oh she got fired from a job she couldn’t keep
anyways. Poor Lilly. I just realized too that she’s my first brown
haired sim in Arbor Watch. Genetic diversity FTW. OF course all
of her kids will probably end up with black hair now that I’ve said
that.
19. Lilly sits down with Benedict in order to
try to get to know Ethan’s kids.
20. And of course she forgets that she put
dinner in the oven. But yay another fire!
That brings the count up to six and another
spot in law enforcement is open!
21. Umm, Lilly you aren’t suppose to let them get so out
of hand.
22. Nothing a fire to bring couples closer together,
worried about almost losing Lilly. I have Ethan
propose, though she looks less than less. Maybe
he should of showered first.
24. Well, Ethan takes a shower, but we’ll
have to wait until they’re done being
furious with each other to try again.
25. Lilly slept on the couch since they’re
relationship was no longer high enough to
sleep together.
26. Ethan got up on Day Two and as quietly
as possible taught Benedict to do his
homework.
27. The kids are off to school, and as soon as Lilly
gets her neat points together it’s time to
work on her and Ethan’s relationship. And
she refused because he was stinky, sigh.
28. They ended up all
over the house, Ethan
apologizing over and
over on his lax
personal hygiene
habits.
29. The flour baby makes its first appearance in Arbor
Watch. Ethan is working hard but that stupid
furious meter is taking forever to go down.
31. Day Three begins with more
homework for Leon. He was the most
attached to Dagmar and is struggling
to learn to study.
32. Grrr, I really don’t like that furious meter
so close to getting back together but so far
away. I have to live with them just being
nice to each other at breakfast.
34. I didn’t take enough pictures for this chapter,
regretfully. So you’ll have to enjoy Ethan reading a
book because that’s about all I have for Day Three.
35. And Lilly started another fire. If this
wasn’t a BACC she wouldn’t be allowed
to cook.
36. Though it seems Ethan shouldn’t be
cooking either on Day Four. Thankfully
he only burnt the pop tarts. Doesn’t
Leon look thrilled?
37. After the kids catch the bus, Ethan and Lilly
head up to The Toy Chest to actually make
some money this rotation.
38. Thanks to the money Lilly brought The
Toy Chest actually has walls now.
39. A quick date and the furious meter is gone Lilly
finally accepts getting engaged.
40. Not to tempt fate again, I go ahead and
have them tie the knot.
41. They take turns on the energizer before
heading home. Man I love that thing.
42. Back home they have some time before
the kids get home and spend some
quality time together.
48. That’s it for the Smithe, thankfully despite
everything, no one died and a new member
is on the way. Lilly popped, but I didn’t get a
picture of it. Up next is the Bertino
household.
