Meet the extended Capp family, when Regan Capp married Cornwall Dane, Cornwall took the Capp name. Cornwall & Regan are the new owners of 95 Woodland Lane, and share their new home with Regan’s brother, Kent.

Floor-plan: 1. Cornwall & Regan’s Bedroom, 2. Kent’s Bedroom, 3. Lounge, 4. Kitchen, 5. Hallway, 6. Bathroom.

Furnished (and remodelled). Unfortunately they ran out of cash before they could purchase a TV.

Kent runs outside to catch bugs…

Kent has caught a Butterfly!

Cornwall & Regan make far better use of the time.

Neil Trimble stops by. Also to catch Butterflies… Maybe there’s something in the air?

The newspaper has just been delivered, and Kent takes the opportunity to search for work.

Kent finds vacancies as a Digger in the Gem Cutter career.

As a Note Taker in the Alchemy career.

Or as a Taxi Driver. The Note Taker role pays well and seems simple so Kent opts for that.

The Steins, Axel, wife Danielle and Axel’s daughter, Abigail visit to welcome the Capps to the neighbourhood.

Danielle and Regan get acquainted as Kent and Abigail seem to be getting on well in the kitchen.

Axel seems to have taken exception to Kent seeing his Daughter.

Kent is understandably crushed.

Meanwhile Abigail & Danielle, oblivious to what’s going on in the Kitchen, play Rock, Paper, Scissors in the Bathroom.

Kent heads to work to decide the way forwards.

Axel has taken a liking to Regan, something which hasn’t escaped Cornwall’s notice.

With the newspaper providing nothing of value, Regan turns to the internet to find work. The Internet is equally fruitless and Regan instead decides to do something she has thought about for a while, write a novel.

Gaining a Creativity skill point.

Taking a break from her writing, Regan chats with Abigail as Cornwall dances.

As midnight hits, Regan is back to her novel, Cornwall is STILL dancing, and Abigail, waiting for Kent to come home, is chatting with Neil Cameron.

As the guests leave, Matthew & Jessica head to their new business.

Matthew & Jessica install some quick money-making objects to get things started while they work on getting new their own stock into production.

The shop isn’t even open yet but there’s already some interested customers as JJ Awon, Nancy Santander & Sanjay Ramaswami gather outside.

Matthew has made some Hot Dogs to feed the waiting customers as he shows his new employees their duties.

Gillian Jones has been hired as a cashier (Matthew chose the uniform).

And Tara DeBateau as a Sales Assistant.

JJ has taken a liking to Tara.

Matthew splashes in the puddle…

A promising start ends in an unproductive evening as the ‘Customers’ mainly stayed outside playing Kicky Bag and all that was sold were some cans of soft drink from the vending machine.

The Picasos head home.

With the business slow on the uptake, Matthew & Jessica have not yet quit their jobs in the Sim City army. It’s been a long day and they have an early rise ahead, Jessica is already in bed and Matthew quickly follows.

Welcome to 2 Beach Front, Twikii Island. Home to Herbert & Faith Goodie, who have chosen to live their retirement years on the Tropical Island.

Simply furnished with everything they require.

Herbert & Faith do what they do best, watch TV.

Herbert relaxes on the bed. All that TV watching must have tired the poor old guy out…

Suitably rested, Herbert returns to the Sofa and TV.

Herbert prepares Mac and Cheese.

Herbert tucks in as Faith remains the same spot she has sat for the last 8 hours…

Finally, Faith has risen… To empty her bladder.

The act of eating has taken it out of Herbert and he heads to bed.

Clearly the distance from the sofa to Bathroom has taken it out of Faith too, as she joins Herbert. It’s 8pm. Goodnight everybody…
