8.05 – Toddlers Ahoy!

Previously, Crystal and Rose got married on the beach at sunset, and Raspberry Rose gave birth to the first child of gen 9, Max! Just a she popped with a second pregnancy, Riff Raff died.

8.04 – Sunset Sunrise

Previously, Raspberry Rose Tart was announced as this generation’s spouse; Crystal quickly wooed and moved her in. Then we had a pool party on Leisure Day. And…that’s all. I think I’m taking too many pictures, not much happened!

8.03 – Summer Love

The people have spoken; Raspberry Rose Tart is to be Crystal’s spouse! Dahlia was a close second; thanks to everyone who voted!

Again, I apologise for the long wait in between chapters; this summer has been so brutal, my laptop could not handle any gaming, even when I did have it open.
Despite the lack of updates, the Rourkes were nominated for a couple of Golden Plumbob awards! Full details and links are here.

8.02 – Introductions

Previously, the twins aged up to YA and Crystal took over as gen 8 heir; Crystal and Hannah visited Egypt and brought back a mummy; the family moved to Monarch Bay.

Also, I now remembered to turn on the SP notifications for the town, so be prepared for spam.

8.01 – Heir Monarch

I was about to post chapter 8.02, and realised 8.01 isn’t yet posted, oops! Previously, Audrey and Seymour aged up to YA, while Hannah and Riff Raff were adorable together.

7.10 – Best Friends Forever

The results are in, and Crystal will be our gen 8 heir! Since she is gay, we will have another female spouse – there hasn’t been a male spouse since Flamingo in gen 4!
It also means Riff Raff gets one more chapter; the twins won’t age up for another 7 days.

7.09 – Winter Slumber

Previously, Spooky Day led to a feast party and Seymour’s birthday.
My sincere apologies for the long wait; I have now finished uni exams, so will have some more time to play!

7.08 – Spooky Day

Yes, I made it to silver in SimNaWriMo! Now to take another month off to prepare for uni exams. And also because I’m finally caught up to in game! It’s only taken 3 months – the pics in this chapter were taken in August. And I haven’t reopened the Rourke save file since then. Hopefully it doesn’t blow up on me *crosses fingers*

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate (not me), and Happy Melbourne Cup day for my fellow Australians!

7.07 – Family Bonding

Previously, we had much toddler cuteness, and family socialising.
Update #6 for October! I’m pretty sure I can get one more out by Monday, to get the silver medal for SimNaWriMo.

7.06 – Blue Yellow

Previously, Hannah gave birth to identical twin girls, Crystal and Ronette.

So the great start to SimNaWriMo was taken over by RL drama and illness. But I’m still aiming for silver, so will be trying to get another few updates posted in the next few days. Have all the pics, just need to write them up.
