After struggling to find fulfilling work and support their family, Heinous and Melissa are gifted an unusual plant named Usine by Melissa. Usine proves dangerous, killing those who stray onto their property. It provides Melissa with a special "milk" that extends her life, allowing her dreams of success to continue. Meanwhile, their children grow up in this strange household, vying for their parents' approval and inheritance.

2. After trying so long to find his dream job, Heinous was only partially happy, he was
still missing his beloved family pet…the three monsters ate up all his hard earned
money with their needing of things like beds, clothes and food. Also he needed to
stash his fourth mistake somewhere and there went all his remaining money. It
took a while for Melissa to find her dream job in Culinary as well, but once she did
she was flying up the ladder (literally) and earning back some of that precious
money. As a gift to Heinous, Melissa finally bought his beloved family pet for him…

3. Melissa found her gift on the Dark Web, on a site run by a French Mad Scientist. The
description said, Vache à vendre, dangereuse, achat à vos risques et périls. When it
was translated it meant: Cow Plant for sale, dangerous, purchase at own risk. It was
perfect for Heinous. Heinous named it Usine.

4. Usine completed the graveyard, it was perfect for it. Heinous extended the Death Box’s roof to
make Usine a little overhang so it wouldn’t get too cold outside. He also added two Altars of
Fear to frame the gate because he wanted his unwitting victims to feel the fear if they dared
to set foot on his property. The allure of the cow cake would certainly pull in a few victims.

5. Usine may have been a gift for Heinous, but its true master was Melissa. Working night shifts
that overlapped with Heinous, required them to hire a nanny. It did irk Melissa a bit that this
old biddy would try to make her kids “nice” like the so forgotten disappointment that was
Broken. It was a necessary evil to ensure that her kids wouldn’t be taken by SoWo, the last
thing Melissa wanted was to pop out more little parasites because she lost the first batch.

6. Except for giving the old biddy a rather invasive sniffing, Usine didn’t feel like
chewing on old leather. That would not please its mistress if she had to ingest
such a low quality milk. Usine liked being out of that awful, cramped lab, it did not
want to be sent back.

7. Meanwhile, across the street from the Crypto Club, the run down House of Fallen Trees had
recently been completely renovated. The power was back on and it no longer looked foreboding.
Ani-Mei: You wanted to talk so let’s talk.
“I did. Thanks for meeting me.”

8. Ani-Mei: Reias. I was honestly expecting Solan instead.
Reias: My son needn’t bother with this, he’s enjoying his life in Angel’s Haven. I came because
it’s still my job to come as God of the Dead. Four years, Ani…four years of nothing and then all
of a sudden I get called here to Winterland. What’s going on?

9. Ani-Mei: New challenges showed up on Boolprop and because Sims 3 decided it wants to start
crashing on me, I came back to you, here. Also I am a mod now so things are different.
Reias: A mod huh? Well congratulations after ten years on Boolprop it was worth waiting for.
I’ve only known you for eight of those ten years though and you’ve never intentionally allowed
premature Sim murder. It was never your style.

10. Ani-Mei: As I said, things are different now. And I am too.
Reias: I…see. Well, change can be good…the Fates know I’ve changed a lot myself. Even despite
that, I still remember who I am. And picking up premature deaths is not who I am. They mess things
up, events that were supposed to happen now don’t. It’s a slippery slope. You also aren’t the only
simself here in Winterland either…I’ve met another one, a new one.

11. Reias: She’s close to the epicenter of these premature deaths, one question I have about her; is
she the one causing them?
Ani-Mei: No. Jenn is a fan.
Reias: Jenn? Like the admin Jenn?

12. Ani-Mei: A different Jenn.
Reias: I see. Well the locals seem to like her, even the Atrociously Evil Witch likes her. I did
make sure to check the place out before I went in. I didn’t see anything suspicious.
Ani-Mei: Good, the family needs more “friends”.

13. Reias: Did you just air quote friends?
Ani-Mei: No…
Reias: What else can you tell me about the new simself?

14. Ani-Mei: You don’t need to worry about her, she’s good. Anyway, I do need to finish furnishing
the house, you can help if you want.
Reias: Alright…I’ll let it go for now, I played nice with the new simself and besides I’ve got some
of my own things to look into. I’ll be back later.

15. Speaking of the family, the Four Horsemen were ready to finally become somewhat
more useful. Broken the Black Sheep will be banished to the attic and the other
three will hardly see her. Unfortunately, said attic took all Heinous’s money so they
will have to live with whatever horrible transition clothes they get for a while. There’s
still a museum to build that requires funds. Heinous has his priorities after all.

16. Broken: Look mommy! I grew up first and not badly! Aren’t you proud of me?
Melissa: No, you’re a horrible disappointment and a failure. Take your hideous pink bed and get
up to your attic.
Broken: Hehee! Oh mommy, you’re so funny. I love you!

17. Melissa: Oh Hideous my only son, pity you were born just a bit too nice to be your father’s heir.
Hysterical honey, I’m so proud of you! You’re a chip off the old Zero Nice Points block, do make
your father happy and be a good little heiress.
Hysterical: Of course I will! And any of you who dare challenge me will meet the business end of
Usine outside got that?

18. Alvin: BOO!! You’re a disgusting freak of nature and I will make your life a living hell!
Hideous: AHH!! Daddy’s going to make you into a zombie for this! Mark my words!

19. Hideous: And if he doesn’t I sure as hell will. Once I’m a teenager I’ll get mommy to make me
into a warlock! Then you’ll regret this moment! You will RUE the day you scared ME!
*Daddy will have to make me the heir once I prove to him I can be just as evil as Hysterical*

20. Now that there are no more toddlers, Melissa could concentrate on working away at
her dream job. That meant money to redecorate the house with a much more
appropriate exterior…and new victims to feed to Usine. The first “friend” Melissa
brought home found out exactly why they had Usine waiting with the tempting cow
cake out.

21. Usine proved to be exactly why its creator, the French mad scientist said it was
dangerous. Another grave for the collection, and one that happened to slip past
Grim too…

22. Usine’s mistress would be proud. And of course it was happy to provide her with the
results of its first live meal.

23. Melissa: Aww did my widdle cow-cow have a nice meal? What do you have for mama? Mmm,
tastes like sucker. What’s her face should have known not to follow a witch home. Heinous
has his Elixer, I have my cow milk. Why should he be the only one who gets immortality huh? I
pushed out his brats, I deserve a little compensation for my troubles.

24. Melissa: AW YEAH! Five more years of life feels GREAT! Now Usine, be a good cowplant and
remember to only let mama have your milk of life. Because I deserve it far more than Heinous.
