Volume 3 of the Groves Family story that live in Barnacle Bay. Part of my Sims 3 Royal Kingdom Challenge

1. A Sims 3 Royal
Kingdom Challenge
Groves Family: Barnacle Bay Volume 3

2. The Groves family began the season with Dedrick
continuing to climb his way up the culinary ladder. He was
now a Pastry chef for the noble families of Barnacle Bay.
Felicity however was now on maternity leave.

3. She wasn’t sure she was as thrilled about
that as her husband, but at least she’d
earned a white belt in martial arts.

4. She’d have to stop going to the gym soon, so she wanted
to get in as much workout time as possible. She hoped
this baby wouldn’t set her too far back in her career.

5. Speaking of children, Carolyna was now a teenager, and
while Felicity had hoped she’d grown closer to her daughter
once she got older, the opposite seemed to have
happened.

6. Dedrick had tried to talk to Carolyna and
help smooth things over between mother
and daughter, but it hadn’t worked at all.

7. Dedrick had been over the moon when she’d announced
he would be getting another child. Surprisingly he seemed
to have decided he really wanted another girl.

8. He’d gotten Carolyna to take a picture of him listening to
her tummy. He thought the Empress might like such a
picture…silly man. Why would them Empress care about
them.

9. Felicity had been ordered to rest as much
as possible and took to doodling in a
notebook to pass the time.

10. No matter what she tried, the gap between Carolyna and
Felicity just grew wider and wider. She needed to do
something however, as right now Carol was her father’s
heir. What if she got thrown out of the house?

11. She and Dedrick were now as close as
you could get. Perhaps she could find a
unique solution to her problem?

12. There were rumors of special elixirs that could help bring
people closer together. She didn’t really want to brainwash
Carolyna exactly, but she didn’t want to end up in some
dingy asylum as an old woman either.

13. Finally, after much searching and saving Dedrick had found
a recipe for Crepes. The nobles all seemed to want them
prepared for breakfast these days. If he could make them,
he could surely earn esteem.

14. Now if he could just think of something to
give these an extra kick and gain more
prestige with the people of Barnacle Bay…

15. Carolyna spent every waking moment she could in the bay
snorkeling and searching for treasures. She was fighting so
horribly with her mother these days,and it was too much to
stay cooped up in there too long.

16. Carol wouldn’t have needed to go down to the bay that
morning though since Felicity had ducked out of the house
as soon as possible. She spent the day socializing with
locals at the festival grounds.

17. Carolyna started stepping out with a local boy named Markus
after their fathers had decided their children should meet and
proposed uniting their families. Carol wasn’t sure about the
whole deal, but anything for her papa.

18. Back at home Dedrick had discussed the plan with Felicity.
So they were one step closer to Carol inheriting everything.
Hopefully she’d get along better with this second child.

19. Their second child was born and they named him
Akatosh. It wasn’t the girl Dedrick had dreamed of,
but he was still pretty pleased nonetheless.

20. Markus and Carolyna were now going steady and he was a
regular visitor to their home. She’d barely spoken to the
young man which she knew was probably not a good sign.

21. Her spirits had been lower as of late since she
had not been invited back onto the rowing
squad. She would have to wait till next season…

22. Carolyna was getting along with her little brother now that
he was here. She’d seemed quite unenthusiastic at first.
Not that her temperament had improved towards her
mother at all.

23. Dedrick had his fellow cooks throw him a
birthday one evening during one of the
feasts they were working.

24. To his shock, Lord Goth had seen fit to give his favored
chef new lands. The house was finally put together and
he’d been able to move the family in at the end of the
season.

25. Carolyna had decorated her room with
several of her undersea discoveries as
well as her crown a gift from Markus.

26. He’d managed to get a fine bed crafted for he
and Felicity and had made sure their family
festival photographs were at the bedside.

27. Akatosh was currently down in the
basement. Their home wasn’t large yet, but
at least his children didn’t have to share.

28. Felicity loved the new hot tub. Dedrick had
certainly pleased Lord Goth to be given
such a luxury.

29. Carolyna was still trying to decide how she felt about all
this. She loved the new house, but she was not at all keen
on the prospect of losing the heirship to the family to her
baby brother.

30. Would Akatosh really swoop in and take
everything away from her? Time would
tell….

31. Alright folks, the Empress would like her council’s advice. In
terms of rules of inheritance I hadn’t really set a strict
patriarchy or anything, nor a first born inherits thing either. I
was thinking of a child with the best relationship with current
heir inherits. Or in case multiple children are best friends with
current heir, perhaps some kind of poll if the Empress can’t
make up her mind on her own. What do you think? Opinions…
See you next rotation.
