Cheryl and her daughter Emma live in this little cottage in Willow Creek. I’m really happy with this house, I feel like I’m getting more confident with the build tools now. Unfortunately, Cheryl didn’t have enough money to fully furnish the house, so the kitchen/dining room still needs a bit of work.

Cheryl is a stay-at-home mummy, she wants to be there when her daughter gets home from school each day. She makes a little money by selling paintings, and by selling flowers from her little garden. I really like how the easel charges money for buying the canvas now: some days Cheryl can’t afford the canvas, and therefore has to concentrate on the garden for a while. I really like how Cheryl helps Emma with her homework, and they chat while she gets on with her other jobs.

The multitasking in the game can be quite funny! XD

During the day, while Emma is at school, I tend to send Cheryl out to look for the different types of flowers that are available in the game. I like how different plants grow in different areas. She currently has most of the basic plants: daisies, bluebells, etc. I’m looking forward to when she gets to start combining the plants to unlock new ones! She also found an interesting looking tree… O.o

Not much really happened in Cheryl’s first week. It was a bit of a struggle keeping her happy because they were so short of money, and she was more concerned with making sure Emma was ok, than thinking about her own needs. Mostly, I was just impressed with how sweet the interactions are between an adult and child sim. The ‘express love’ interaction is adorable!
