Sprottenham updates

Yeah, so since last time I have switched to follow what happens in the town of Sprottenham, beginning at the start of the year 2024, where this story currently is at. The active family when I left this town behind to play other towns was the Jensen/Rasmussen household, which consists of Patrik C. Jensen and Solvej Rasmussen and their children, Rune (12) and the twins Lilian and Silvia (both 1 year and 9 months old).

So.. in the first chapter Chapter 13.1 – January 2024 – Patriks birthday it was, well, Patriks birthday. He aged up from a young adult to an adult, which means that he is now 35 years old.

Hooray for him! Yeah, I know, I already posted this on the EA forum much earlier without making a post here, but..  my motivation to make posts left and right isn't always there, so.. anyway.

His birthday party was nice (that isn't always a guarantuee..), people ate cake, danced and enjoyed themselves and his son Rune handed him a gift. It was just a collection of festival tickets, because that's what he had on hand, but Patrik really enjoyed the gift and said it was very meaningful to him, so all is good. ;)

Solvej also collected a lot of harvest from her plants in the greenhouse which she sold for 1708 simoleons, and was greatly awarded by the local chamber of commerce which gave her the new title of "fertilizer spreader". 

In the next update Chapter 13.2 – February 2024 – Tending to what you love Solvej needed to get out of the house to not go stir crazy, so while Rune was at school and Patrik at work she took the toddlers and went to the park to get some fresh air.

The small town of Sprottenhan is both usually very peaceful and safe, and the village had no issues helping out to watch after her youngest ones. In the background is now local resident Ada Dalhaug helping Lilian on the spring rider.

Silvia was being looked after by Leni-Dahl Blankblomst. A former colleague and good friend of Solvej.

Later Patrik and Rune joined them in the park, but since Patriks birthday he's been bothered by this feeling of getting older. He would frequently go to the bathroom to check his face for wrinkles and other signs of getting older, as well as thinking about where he was now in life.. should he change his career? Should he even... find a new partner? But no, he couldn't do that.. he loved his family to much, but the thoughts where all still there...

One of his bathroom visits ended badly when he found that it was occupied by Frigg Ås and her daughter Hoda. He wanted to have it to himself, so he attacked her out of the blue! Patrik has always had to struggle with his temper, and it looks like all his worries about getting older had already brought him close to a boiling point and this was the last straw.. how dare these too occupy this public toilet!

Solvej, Patrik and the twins were all unaware about what he did in the bathroom, and in spite of that and an instance where he was being flirted with by Chansa (standing in the background here to the left), the day ended well when he decided it was time for them to go home and get the toddlers in bed. Though he's probably not gonna make friends with Frigg for a while...

It's gonna be Runes birthday to after a couple of updates where he will become a teenager and a new interesting chapter will open up for the new boy. Probably many more kids will follow suit and this town too will start to see more teenagers.. but he will get the honour of being the first one*. :P

Until next time, hopefully soon enough. ;) 

* of the main active sims. All of Friggs children where already teenagers from the start, but I have never really had them as the active household.
