So this is Dan! And, by proxy, what Remy and Sequoyah look like.
Remy and Dan bonded over hopscotch while Hialeah painted on her secret artist's balcony, and Bunny gave birth to her fourth child. I need her to paint Bunny's legacy portrait, and we don't have many days left. The final goal Bunny needs to complete is having 5 children, all with good grades, and being friends with all of them.
So this is my next heir, Richard! He has Sequoyah's hair and Bunny's eyes! I'm not moving on to him yet, for a few reasons. Firstly, I love Bunny. Secondly, she's not yet finished her last goal, which is to have five children, be friends with all of them, and they all have good grades. Being friends with her children isn't a problem due to her high charisma skill, so she'll just need to have one more. Both Bunny and Sequoyah are hoping for another girl.
I've now got a new motive mobile (I generally sell them if they make the game too easy), which is great for teaching teenagers to drive, and for having Hialeah take her brothers to school. I can then transfer it back to Sequoyah or Bunny's inventory, should they need a boost. I earned the points because I've been having Sequoyah adopt race horses with bad traits, like lazy, untrained, or hates jumping, and then training them out with Bunny, who then sells them on. That hit Sequoyah's goal of adopting six pets, and also helped with hitting the last level of Bunny's horse-riding.
We sometimes get sent stuff, as celebrities, including this gaming system which Hialeah, Remy, and Dan can bond over. Btw, Hialeah is from a list of Cherokee names I found. 'Sequoyah' is also a Cherokee name, hence looking at that list. Remy and Dan are named for a pair of twins in The Mirror, which is another reason I want them close in age.
Now Sequoyah is reaching the higher levels of ghost-hunting, he'll sometimes get investigations where he has to use his scanner to make a spirit pop out and then make friends with them and convince them to move on. I feel like he had some extra sympathy for this pair, since they appear to have died in fires, like he has. They're really easy to make friends with due to the special interactions you get, like telling them about their family members and talking about their amazing life. You can also just choose to banish them, but Sequoyah isn't going to do that.
Once you've captured the spirits, you can sell them, donate them to the science centre, or free them at a graveyard, where they will move in to the graves.
At this point, I went to check on the rest of the family and came back to find Sequoyah doing this. That is his actual father. I can only imagine how amazing the ghost story he's telling is.
Poor little Dan has a cold - it came with Seasons, I think - and I don't have the points to get him simmunity, so he's having a day off school. The room is a compromise between him and Remy, and it'll get even more crowded and compromised when Richard ages up and moves in with them. The three boys are all fairly close in age, so it's easy to have them share, and that will also be part of Richard's backstory, especially since his brothers are both easily impressed, but he's friendly and grumpy. They will irritate him a lot. There's also the fact that they're much older than he is, and might leave him out. The two girls - Hialeah and the unborn, whom Bunny is currently incubating - will be the eldest and youngest, so it makes more sense for them to have their own space. Plus, I'm running out of rooms. When Hialeah and Remy get older, I plan to build a gatehouse for them to move into, to have some independence (while still remaining entirely under my control). Bunny keeps getting wishes to quit her job, and since she'll age into an elder soon after her youngest child is born, it's making sense for her to sell the horses and settle into a peaceful retirement. She should have quite a long elderhood, but Richard will be moving on as soon as he reaches young adulthood. I'm thinking of creating a new save file when he moves so I can come back and play the other heirs.
Oh, also, Hialeah went to her prom and was crowned Prom Queen, which isn't hugely surprising because there is literally one other teenage girl in town. She did flirt with Gerard Crews, the eldest son of Alice and Antoine, and he is now considered her love interest. Honey and Johnny Darnell have both passed away. I built a pool and the family are planning a pool party!
The next update might be the last Bunny update.
