Tim and Kayla adjust to life with teenagers as best they can. There is less to do for the kids now that they mostly take care of themselves, but that just means more things to work on teaching them.

Life continues on, seasons pass and everyone gets older. The chickens that have been so beloved are starting to pass on, and new chicks will be hatched. The farm is changing.

Kevin is close to being done with school and he will be finding his own path soon. Tim still holds out hope that his kids will help take over the farm as he is getting older and knows he won’t be able to stay up on everything by himself.

Kayla has seemed to perfect her cooking, and while she has become a bit of a perfectionist, everyone appreciates her cooking for the family. She makes sure they eat healthy and is happy to have Tim’s produce at her disposal.

Tim and Kalya are happy that the twins have gotten closer over time, and Jennifer and Ryan have become quite the joksters of the family.

Tim loves his kids, but there are mornings he’s not really sure what all they are talking about. At times it seems to him that Kevin doesn’t either, but at least Jennifer and Ryan have each other.

Much like her mother, Jennifer has gained an appreciation for the chickens and has found herself helping with the new chicks whenever she can.

Likewise, the cowplant has grown very attached to Ryan and Ryan has become attached to it. They spend more and more time together playing and Ryan has taken over feedings when he’s around.

Tim is trying to teach each of the kids about plants and farming as a whole. Jennifer seems to be the kid that caught on the fastest, but Tim will keep trying with all of them. His new greenhouse is his pride and joy.

When the greenhouse was all done Kayla was so proud of her husband that they went out into the greenhouse and took a picture to memorialize the moment. Even after all of these years, they are very much in love.

Tim finds himself still learning a thing or two about plants himself and is happy to still be learning new things. He wonders if his father ever felt like he had learned all he could.

Kayla has found herself challenging her cooking skills by creating treats for the chickens. Each one, she claims, does a little something different, and is excited to be trying them out.

Kayla still very much loves her husband and Tim adores his wife. He never believed he would be so successful in life, although he always hoped. Kayla has been the best partner.

Kayla always enjoys being able to help with hatching the chicks whenever she can. Throughout the seasons and the years, she attempts to be one of the first people to meet the chicks, especially with her new treats to provide them now.

The kids continue to do well in school, and Kayla is proud of all of her kids, but holds a special place in her heart for her daughter. She’s so glad that Jennifer and Ryan have gotten closer as they got older.

When the kids are in school and Tim has time to himself after tending the garden he can often be found fishing in the river by their house or feeding and playing with the cowplannt.

The kids are making lots of friends in school and it is becoming rare for them to not request to bring their friends home with them. It makes Tim and Kayla both very happy that they have created a place their kids want to bring friends.

One evening Kayla was out checking on the chickens and found a strange egg. At first Kayla thought it must be a rotten egg, but it didn’t provide a smell and one of the hens seemed a bit more protective of it so Kayla left it alone.

She was highly surprised when right around Winterfest that same egg hatched into a chick with firey eyes. Kalya worried the chick was sick, but everything with him checked out, and he seems like a normal chick otherwise.

Winterfest is always a time the family loves to spend together. Not only do they enjoy the meals and opening up gifts, they can also simply enjoy each other’s company and hang out talking.

Jennifer got a guitar for Winterfest and spent some time practicing in her room. She isn’t really good yet, but she is determined.

Another change came in the setup of the twin’s room. Tim and Kayla were finally able to update it with more appropriate furnishings for teens and while Jennifer would like to have her own room, she is used to sharing with her twin.

Kayla was shocked and surprised when she got confirmation that she was pregnant again. She went out to tell Tim early one morning, a bit afraid of how he would react. He was certainly surprised, and this was an unexpected event, but Tim was thrilled. Now they just had to determine how to tell the kids.

I have been playing sims since TS1 and even played a little bit of the PS2 version and the mobile versions over time. Once I discovered challenges for TS2 I never looked back. I love the sims, the families I've been able to make, and play through the years, and connecting with people about them. I work from home as a QTC Admin for my company, have a cat I adore and have a million hobbies I feel like I will never have time to completely explore.
