TS4 Nomad Challenge- Fours a Crowd

Luckily the girls are still in school but when they're not in school they're just a pain in the butt.  When I had them try for baby I was thinking of another sim that could help them, not how hard it would be to control 4 sims.  All of which try to grill things they aren't supposed to grill or eat the cake from the cowplant.  I have to keep a constant watch on their hunger and have Skyla or Jax cook something quick if anyone is low.  It's a total waste because the meals are for 8 and I have no refrigerator.  The only luxury I have is the outhouse.  But enough of my rant here's my update!

I realize that children can "play in tent".  It doesn't up their fun much but it's pretty cool.

There's a new rule that if you have 25 plants you can buy seed packets to get spinach.  I have 20.

Skyla aged up to adult.

Skyla makes a trip into the tree to Sylvan Glade because I think there are cherry trees there I was right so brought Jax there and they fished until it was ready for a cutting.  They caught 3 fish that they didn't have in their collection and a couple pomegranates.

Jax maxxed his fishing skill.

Jax completed his Curator aspiration.

Both Jax then Skyla ate the cake from the cowplant.  They lived but had a terrible 2 day moodlet.  I feed that cowplant constantly but still it has it's cake out soon after feeding.

I got Skyla the Never Weary trait because the garden takes all day.  After I got it I remembered there's a gardening trait at the bottom that might have been more help.  Oh well, too late.

Skyla completed the Freelance Botanist aspiration.

I finally have 25 plants and get the seed packet for spinach.

Jade took the fishing aspiration and Jasmine took the herbalism one.

The cowplant is a nuisance.  Both Jade and Jasmine have eaten it's cake.  Each time I worry one of my sims will die.

pic:  The campfire set fire to Jax's chair!

pic:  Jax got scorched.  Skyla put out the fire so had a confident moodlet.  The rest of them had day long tense moodlets.

That's about it.  It's a constant struggle to keep all 4 sims happy.  Jax collects around the neighborhood then fishes, Skyla gardens non-stop and the girls work on their skills if they are in a good enough mood.  It's almost time for Jax and Skyla to age to elder, I can't believe it. 

The garden needs all of the herbalism plants, which Jasmine will provide, the death flower and the ufo plant.  I think I have everything else.
