Chapter 3.1 - January 2022 - Skills and romance.

Picture: Chitrakaar-Skurckh family house.
Winters in Bewickton are typically a lot milder and less snowy than winters in Sprottenham, in spite of them being almost on the same latitude (Bewickton is just a little bit to the south). I attribute this to the prevailing westerly winds on the countrys west coast, which do bring in a lot of wet and mild weather, even in winter.. Also, Bewickton is located on an island, so it really does have an extreme coastal climate.. It is actually possible they won't see any snow at all, or atleast very little of it..

 Ole Christian is the first to wake up on this January morning to play with his toy doll...

Before waking up both parents because he is hungry..

Holidays are over, and Nishit has to get ready for school.. Ole Christian is making noise the way toddlers typically do...
"I want to have a snowball fight" Nishit tells me. Yeah, lets hope there will be some snow, so you can have one!

Oh come on, Udisha.. I know you like drawing, but aren't you gonna feed your baby?

"Yes.. but you know.. when I feel inspired, I just gotta get it down on paper before I lose the idea!"

Alright... the life of a creative soul...

And speaking of creative souls, I have to stop by her parents house, to check up on the elders..

 Udishas parents, Deepak and Laranya, live a little further up the hill.. I can't believe this is january with how green it looks! I sneak into their house, because I am God and I do what I want.. but its all dark and nobody is home..

They have decided to hang out outside the swimming pool with their youngest daughter Nitya that still lives at home. Which brings me to Bhavan the fireman whom atleast has taken the step and moved out..

He is as expected at the fire station. "I just did some maintenance on this fire alarm" he says.

What is troublesome for poor Bhavan is that he is a bit of a loner, but at the same time there's just something about him that makes him irresistible.. so people always flock around him and want to talk to him.. when he just wants to be alone and do his job as the brave fireman he is..

Vemund Rokne, one of Bhavans colleagues, can be a little grumpy over Bhavan always getting the spotlight, and sometimes he will start a quarrel over it.. Bhavan quickly puts him in his place, though.

Sofia Karlsen is one of the rich people of Bewickton (not to be confused with Sofie Motor-Karlsen that lives in Sunset Valley...), and perhaps also a snob. She bores everyone with her bragging.. She is also the romantic interest of Palash, the odd one out of the Chitrakaar siblings...

Gunder talks to Bhavan about the one time he biked across the Sim Frisco bridge in the heavy fog that typically plagues the area. "It was like thick soup" he says "I could barely see the handlebar in front of me!"

Vemund Rokne has to one up him of course.. "One time I went to Cyme Ixotic the fog was so dense I couldn't even see myself! It was like someone had turned on this gigantic smoke machine!"

Udisha teaches Ole Christian to talk out on the front porch. Udisha is ambitious and makes sure that Ole Christian learns all the important words!

Dudleif invites his best friend Bobby Sjanto over for a visit.

 Palash is now on his way home from work. Palash works in the business career, same as Udisha.

Actually he wasn't going home, he stops outside Dafooney! Wahey! A local fusion lounge and music/jazz-club.

Udisha successfully taught Ole Christian to talk.

Palash isn't doing much at Dafooney! Wahey! He just walks aimlessly around and talks to his own reflection in the bathroom mirror...

Dudleif heads to the Student House of Culture with Bobby to go bowling.

 The Student House of Culture was designed by art and architecture student Marcus Claudius Eschenburg and can be a little maze like. The bowling alley is in the basement... if you can find it...

Bobby is not very impressed by Dudleifs bowling skills...

Palash just came home from Dafooney! Wahey! This is his home on the opposite end of the same street as Udisha and Dudleif.

This is very typical of Palash. He almost always goes outside to rest on one of these chairs, no matter what the weather is outside. :P Of course, now he is lucky and the weather is good.. it's still winter, though, so it is a little chilly...

Beate Curious, Bhavan's girlfriend, just aged up to a young adult. The Gods have installed a mod that made night time look darker.. which probably means the town council should put more lights around.. The Gods tried to brighten this image, but that didn't look any good, so they left it as it is.

Dudleif is now flirting with Sølvi Sjanto, his friend Bobbys wife... He gets the attracted moodlet from being near her.

He navigates around the maze to play a smash the gnome game. Sølvi tries to follow him, but loses track of where he walked...

Sometimes maybe a maze and sims getting lost is a good thing if it can save a relationship...
