End of Second Term

Carly, Day 97, April 7, 2026

Carly's terms have been running Thursday through Wednesday. I like that because it gives her a weekend to work on her papers or presentations. And she's been taking 3 core classes and one elective in something fun that might be useful. First term she had Equine Arts and learned a little horseback riding. Second term she had Xtreme Knitting and I remembered to get her a yarn basket. Here she is knitting something for a very special friend.


 She has also had her three self-discovery moments. She declined Lovebug twice because that did not seem like her - she is more practical than that. But she accepted Perfectionist, Dog Lover, and Cheerful. And she got her second term grades on Wednesday.

She decided to invite Paolo out for dinner to celebrate. They met at a restaurant in Newcrest.

They do seem to always get along really well, talking, joking, flirting.

And from her critter hunting days, Carly acquired the flutter kiss. Little butterflies fly all around.

And she told Paolo she is really just looking to have some fun, no marriage thoughts for her.

Paolo is thrilled to hear that because I made him non-committal.

When Carly got home, she had to get some schoolwork done because the next day was HarvestFest but she had classes anyway. She got it done and then got her Friday work done in between classes so she could host a party for her friends. She has felt neglectful of her friends since she has been spending free time with Paolo and Em. 

She cooked a beautiful turkey dinner and made Tiramisu for dessert. 

Irene apparently was starving from her trip to Batuu and couldn't wait for Carly to ring the dinner bell. 

Carly: Just a second, Irene. I just want to kiss Paolo.

Dinner is served, but apparently all anybody wants to eat is tiramisu.

Lesson learned. Don't put dessert out with the meal. All sims eat are sweets. Everyone has tiramisu on their plates.

Carly: Seriously, I made a whole turkey and you are all just eating tiramisu. I'm not making another one. When it is gone, it's gone.

And another new face at the party, besides Paolo.
Chiyo is very cute and Carly was glad she could include her in HarvestFest.

Thank you, Chiyo!

It was good seeing and talking to everyone, especially this old married couple at the table.

And I just missed getting a shot of Rowan coming over and kissing Honey on the cheek. It was very sweet.

I think everyone had a good time and Carly has a one track mind apparently. Still just one thing she wants to do. 

I scanned around and found a group dancing downstairs and some in the TV room at times, but I never found Jace. When Carly was cleaning up dishes, she found one outside on the picnic table. I never looked there and then felt awful that Jace may have been out there by himself all night. 

On Saturday morning, Carly called Jace and invited him over.
Carly: I am so sorry I didn't get to talk to you on HarvestFest. I wanted to hear all about the animals and ranch life.

Carly: I made this for you. I hope you like it. Well, it is for one of the chickens or the rooster to wear. 

Jace: Carly, I wish you could meet everyone. This is Gilda and Moxie, and Domino and Echo. You would love them. 
Carly: I wish I could meet them too. They are adorable!

Carly: Something I should have done a long time ago. We will be friends forever, Jace.
Jace: Always!

And they worked on a puzzle together before Jace had to get back to the ranch.

And a few extra pictures from her trying to get things done in Britechester. 
I guess this is what I have to do to get in that secret society. Not even sure if I want to get in it, but feel like I have to try now.

Carly: Watcher, are you sure this is safe? I thought I was just going to be entering stuff on the keyboard.
Watcher: I'm sure it wouldn't be part of the aspiration if it wasn't safe.
Carly: OK, I'm sure you would have googled it.
Watcher: Um, yeah, sure, of course I did *gulp*

And the arrival the secret society. 
Carly: Em, I don't know why Watcher wants me to join that club. Looks more like a gardening club than some secret society.

Dinner With Friends

Image
 Carly, Day 57, February 26, 2026 Carly intended for just the girls to get together for dinner so they could talk about Jace and Ashley, but Carly forgets that if a few of them get together, it's a club meeting. Watcher will forever forget that so the gang went to the restaurant in Gibbi Point. Since the activities are singing and dancing for now, Irene and Lilith decided to entertain this lovely couple. And Lilith continued to entertain them and everyone else sat down at the table.  Carly: I am so excited for the move. Cebolla: Me too and doesn't Honey look cute? Honey: Is it just me or did Tae lighten his hair? Jace: Carly, what did you all think of Ashley? Carly: Jace, you know one thing I've never done in Gibbi Point is shoot an apple off someone's head. Honey: Oh yeah, that's fun. Jace: And you want me to put an apple on my head? Carly: Yes, it will be fun. Jace thinking I hope she knows what she's doing Cebolla: I do it all the time, I don't think you...

Start of a New Term

Image
 Carly, Day 96, April 6, 2026 One thing that makes University so hard is not getting your new classes until about 6PM and then you may have 3 classes to do homework for. Luckily, Carly only had 2 Thursday classes to prepare for. She was hard at work (mostly hard at work) studying when someone happened to be walking by her house and couldn't resist stopping in to see her.  Watcher: You just have to get through two class homeworks tonight.  Carly: I know. Watcher: You do not look like you are reading about writing children's books. Carly: I am still reading the book.  That's about the time Paolo showed up. That little want she has in the corner is to woohoo with Paolo.  Watcher: Carly, you still have to finish one more homework. Carly: Watcher says I have to do this one homework before we whatever. Paolo: What's a watcher? Carly: You don't have one. You get to do whatever you want whenever you want. But then they were interrupted by someone else coming in the hous...

Tattoo Shop Opening

Image
 Carly, Day 61, March 2, 2026 When Carly got home from the restaurant, she was feeling very independent and happy for their lives in Nordhaven. She told Em all about the shop opening the next day. Carly: Now Em, you will be the shop's official greeter while I tend the tattoo table. Everyone will love you, you are so cute. Em: Woof!  The next day, Carly officially opened the shop. Carly tending the table. And she spotted a familiar face. Carly: Pants off Paolo. You are getting a leg tattoo. Carly is very serious about her work. And she got her first good review from Paolo. Carly thinking she may need to get a closer look at that someday to make sure she didn't make any mistakes. Matteo was her next customer. Carly: I know you are getting an arm tattoo. Trust me, it will end up on your arm. Matteo also gave her a good review and the customers out in the waiting area had a lot of positive thoughts about the space so she did well, but didn't get her first star yet.  When she ...
