The Shibatas: Round 6 / True Love

When we last visited the Shibatas, they had just moved into this new house.  At the time they had a toddler daughter name Honey and they were both pregnant.  They each gave birth shortly thereafter.  Ravi had an Alien daughter named Desire, and Kimberly gave birth to twins, Adore and Cherish. 



And so here are the Shibatas at the beginning of Round 6.  The year is 2020.

University: Round 6 / Love and War

Poor, neglected Apple Grove!  I don't know why I dragged my feet so long on this update, but I guess it just might be that University is a bit boring to me. 



This is Urele House, the Greek House at University of Applebama.  Since many of Apple Grove's young people have passed through it, it's been improved upon about as much as I'm willing to mess with it.  It's still quite tacky inside and out, but it seems fitting for a Greek house to be tacky.  It's functional at this point, and it has good quality plumbing, nice beds and plenty of study and skilling items.  Thanks to me, University of Applebama did not make it onto Simston Review's list of top party schools.

The Browns: Round 6 / Bigfoot Named My Baby

When we last saw the Browns, they adopted a dog named Swift from the pound that first belonged to Daniel's sister Devan and her husband Charles Fletcher.  The Brown's mission was to train her in all the bad behaviors.  Once they trained her, they decided to give her back to Devan.  Daniel was promoted to General in the military.  They went camping and got a little surprise.  The Contessa was now pregnant and very hungry, so they went on a "hunting" trip to Three Lakes.  They brought back a live-in servant - a Sasquatch named Stephen who they planned to have take care of their baby.

The Hamiltons: Round 6 / Two Cats Forward and One Cat Back

When we last visited the Hamiltons, Badger and Acorn aged to elder cats, Forrest and Beverly became elders, they adopted another kitten named Hindrance, George became a teen and Hyacinth became a child, the "mentally-challenged" cat Gump ran away, Forrest achieved his lame lifetime want of having six pets reach the top of their careers, and the family took a vacation to Twikkii Island.

The Bauers: Round 6 / Dog Tired

When we last visited the Bauers, there were 2 weddings: Cassandra and Morgan, and Charity and Elmer.  Amiee and Jason went off to college, and Christopher and Ian became teens.  Padi and Obi had 3 puppies.  The whole family (except for our new sons-in-law) went on a vacation to Three Lakes.

The Webbs: Round 6 / Three Weddings and a Baby

When we last visited the Webbs, Clinton and Grace both became elders and retired from their jobs.  They took the whole family to Takemizu Village on a vacation, including Reagan, Taft and Wilson who were still in college.  Washington became a teen, and Grace created a new family member - a servo named Grace 2.0.

The Fletchers: Round 6 / Swift and Terrible-ish

When we last visited the Fletcher family, Charles and Devan got married, went on a honeymoon to Takemizu Village, and had a baby boy they named Chevy.  They also adopted a puppy from the Tucker family next door named Swift who wouldn't eat, so they gave her up for adoption.  Swift was adopted by the Brown family (Devan's vampire big brother and his vampire wife), who "trained" Swift and gave her back.

The Tuckers: Round 6 / Common Nonsense

I'm finally getting back to Apple Grove after a bit of real life and holidays.  I had this idea that a holiday post with all the different families would have been cool, but there would have been too many spoilers because the families have been played farther than what you've seen so far.  Bummer.  Maybe next year if all goes well.



This is the Tucker family.  The last time we visited them, Martin's mother, stepfather, baby brother, aunt and niece all moved out, and he met and married Jill.  They had a little girl they named Artists, and Jill is pregnant with their second child.

Changes in Round 6

The first change in Apple Grove is the neighborhood itself.

The Cormiers Andersons: Round 5 / Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Warm In A Glass

Darn, I accidently pushed the "Publish" button this morning when not 100% finished with this post. But it is almost finished except a few minor details. I have to leave for awhile today before I can completely finish, but I'll go ahead and leave my post up.

If you've been reading Round 5, you may remember that Charity's new husband Elmer cheated on her right after their wedding when I was playing Sophie Graham's house.  I can't stand the sight of him anymore.

The Foremans: Round 5 / Big Ambitions, Tiny House

We are now returning to the Foreman house where newlyweds Cassandra and Morgan live in a very tiny house at 240 Turnover Terrace on the corner of Turnover Terrace and Strudel Street.  When we left them, we just caught a quick glance of them as they moved in earlier in Round 5 after moving out of the Bauer house.



It was an easy move, because as you can see, the Bauer house is right across Strudel Street from them.

The Todds: Round 5 / And On That Farm They Had Some...Rockin' Cockatoos

When we last saw the Todds, Catherine and Charlie had moved out of the Tucker house at the beginning of Round 5 to give Catherine's son Martin more incentive to settle down and get married.  They brought their young son Aleksei with them, as well as the two plant sims Aloe and Belladonna.  They settled into a nice farmhouse on Orchard Way.  It's not that Catherine or Charlie had any interest in farming, but Aloe and Belladonna wanted a farm.
