The McQueen family expands as Catherine gives birth to her second child, Jacob. Bruce takes a new job that requires travel but allows career growth. Sam becomes a toddler. Calista Fuchs visits after finishing school and ends up marrying Bruce's friend Neil Cameron. The town continues growing with 13 sims and plans to celebrate more birthdays.
2. Getting rid of Sandy and her
friends was a blessing for
Catherine McQueen. It allowed
her to expand her home from
one bedroom to two and start
to really be able to use the
space she previously had.
3. Hey money still came from
fishing, but she noticed that
Bruce wasn’t into it as much as
she was. After it was
announced that Sandy’s gallery
became a level 10 business,
something in him seemed to
perk up.
4. There was an opening in the
Business career and Bruce was
going to take it. Sure, it meant
that he’d be spending half his
time driving out of the city for
meetings in Three Lakes, but it
was his dream to one day be a
CEO or even a Business Tycoon.
5. But for the time being, he was
going to be a father.
6. The McQueen family has always
made it known that Sam
McQueen was the first sim born
in the town, regardless of what
the Lillards might say. It just so
happened that the month of his
birth certificate was messed up
by City Hall when it opened
after Honeywood reached 1000
sims.
7. Unlike the romance sims in
town, Catherine and Bruce
weren’t going to stop at just
one kid. They may be fortune
sims, but that means more
people to make money.
8. When the pond froze over that
winter, Catherine took to
painting to make some money.
Sandy thought that her works
were too pedestrian for the
gallery, but that didn’t stop
tourists from throwing her a few
simoleons here and there.
10. Working days meant Bruce
wasn’t able to sleep whenever
he needed like Catherine could.
This led to some unfortunate
results. However, no one died.
So we were all grateful.
11. Sam became a toddler (before
Tabitha) and took after both of
his parents when it came to
looks. He was a funny looking
kid, but no worse than anything
you’d find in Strangetown.
12. All Bruce wanted at the moment
was to be both a good father
and good employee. The better
he got at both, the more he felt
like moving to Honeywood was
the best decision of his life.
13. As for Catherine, she finally had
the family she never got as a
kid. Her husband and son
meant the world to her.
14. And when the time came for her
second child to be born…
15. She knew she would love Jacob
McQueen just as much.
16. Bruce was making strides in his
career and the company was
beginning to provide him with
perks. Better rides to the office,
a mini-putt course, even health
benefits. Fun fact, did you know
that you can’t claim Bigfoot as a
common-law partner?
17. Sandy’s friend Calista Fuchs
managed to finish her last
semester at Académie la Tour a
few weeks early. Not knowing
where Sandy was living at the
time, she came and visited
Catherine and asked to stay on
the couch while she settled in
town. She brought $13000.
18. She also was excited to help
celebrate the boys’ birthdays.
19. Jacob took more after his
mother than his older brother
did at that age.
20. And Sam…. Well he was always
the first born sim in Honeywood
(according to Catherine).
21. Calista had meanwhile fallen in
love with Bruce’s friend Neil
Cameron and the two were
planning to elope in town.
22. It wasn’t long before she
became Mrs. Calista Cameron.
He brought $3000.
