Jaycee doesn't have enough of dating! She asks Jack to meet her in Windenburg. The barman keeps staring at Jaycee. He gives her the creeps. The barman is so distracted that he poors the drink on the floor...oops! Jaycee decided to ignore the barman and only has eyes for Jack who is blowing kisses her way. Time for a drink. Cheers! Then Jack sits down on one knee and proposes! Jaycee looks happy! She says yes! After proposing they both are in need for a toilet break! After Jaycee said yes, Jack can't wait no longer and asks Jaycee to elope with him. Now they are married!

So far Jack has let Jaycee call him to go on dates, but this time he asks her to come over to his "house". You can't call it a house yet, since there are no walls. It is the first time Jaycee comes for a visit, and Jack was anxious to see what she would say of his "house" with no walls. She doesn't really seem to notice the walls are missing. Jaycee and Jack have their first kiss. They have been dating for a while, and Jack finds the courage to ask her to be his girlfriend. She says yes! So far Jack did most of the flirting, and it is good to see the romantic interest is not a 1-way direction. Jaycee kisses Jack on the cheek. She seems to like Jack as much as he likes her. Jaycee stays the night... The next morning Jack prepares breakfast for Jaycee. He leaves the "house" to do his rounds before she wakes up. Jaycee ignores the food Jack prepared and makes something herself. How ungrateful! lol She is a foodie after all, and I guess she thinks she is a better cook than Jack.
Jaycee needed a bit of encouraging to ask Jack on a date, but after sending her some funny text messages she asks Jacks to meet her. They have a good time chatting. But then they are interrupted by a noise. What is that noise?! It's 2 ghost who are fighting. They both look pink, like they are in a flirty mood. Are they witnessing a lovers quarel? I hope this is not a sign that there date will go bad! Look who they bumped into! Looks like Jack is introducing Jaycee to his father. Might be a still bit to early to introduce her to the family, but it would be awkward to ignore Paolo. The date was fun, and Jaycee asks Jack out again. Jack doesn't seem to be happy about the location Jaycee has chosen for their next date lol It's the geekcon festival. Hmm hamburgers! The vendor is really staring at Jack! *note: I found out later that the vendor his Jaycee's brother. No wonder he is looking at Jack when Jack is flirting with Jaycee. Jack keeps flirting with Jaycee and she likes it all. Dinner would have been romantic if there was not an astronaut sitting at the same table! Their next date is a few days later. The bar is empty, but they don't seem to notice. They only have eyes for eachother.
His sister invited him to go with her to the love festival. As you can see many people are here for the festival. Willow is there too! In the spirit of the festival Jack throws petals at Jane. Hey, look who is there! Angel. She says hello, but ignores Jack after that. Nothing new there. Jack is feeling hungry and goes off to buy some food. To his surprise the vendor is young, is female and looks attractive. finally another female working sim! Has his luck turned? Jack is trying to find the courage to speak to her. He askes her to go round the back so they can talk. It was time for a break anyway, so she agrees. Her name is Jaycee Souza. She is active, self-assured and a foodie. They seem to get along well enough. They exchange numbers. Jaycee's break is over, so Jack says goodbye to her. Then he sees his parents. They are throwing petals at each other. How sweet. But then...Dad what are you wearing?! Jack meets a ramance guru who can tell you all about love. She just tells Jack his love life looks bleak lol Then Jack is so exhausted that he falls asleep. Looks like it is time to go home!
Jack found out earlier that Mizuki (the gardener) was noncommital, so he decided not to give her a call to get to know her better. Instead he called Angel. In no time she was there, Jack didn't even had time to put down the phone. Angel is active, materialistic and loves art. But if you see her here you'd think she loves books. She is reading while Jack's idea was for them to eat something together. She seems to ignore him and is engrossed in her book. Nice date...not! lol Angel has only left for only a few minutes when she calls Jack to ask him to go to a park. Even though the first date was not good, Jack doesn't say no. He is willing to give her a second chance. At the park Angel ignores him, and Jack goes to play a game of chess. That is when he sees a working sim at the other chess table. Her name is Carrie Stringer and she is a community gardener. She is cheerful, outgoing and a slob. She seems to like Jack. They get on well at first, but then Jack makes a wrong move. He has no idea what he did wrong, but now Carrie hardly likes him anymore. She aks Wolfgang to tell Jack to go away. Wolfgang is a friend of his mom, so he ask Jack to leave in a nice way. Back at home Jack thinks about his problem of finding a wife. It is not as easy as he thought it would be. His thoughts are miles away. He doesn't pay much attention to what he is doing and because of that he hurts himself. Ouch! Jack doesn't know what to do, so he asks his mother to come help him in the garden. So they can talk while working. All she tells him is to follow is heart. But what does his heart say? Jack doesn't know.
It's time for the mail to arrive. Maybe the mail will be brought by a lovely young lady? But no such luck...the mail man might walk like a lady but is definitely a man. Next Jack tries the cleaning service. He always liked a woman in a maid uniform. But...again a male arrives. Jack is disappointed. Jack can't go wife hunting the whole day. His garden needs attention. That gives him an idea. A gardener! Jack has got a garden and he could use a helping hand. He calls the service center to hire a gardener. And keeps his toes and fingers crossed. And yay! The gardener is female! Meet Mizuki Nakamura. Jack has met one female worker sim so far, but he wants choices. Maybe he should call for a pizza. Jack hopes that the pizza will be delivered by a female. *fingers crossed* But no...the pizza is brought by someone with a beard. That is not a woman. Even though nothing needs to be fixed, he calls for a handyman. Again, he hopes for a woman. And he is lucky again. Soon Angel Trivedi arrives. She says hello, but leaves when she sees there is nothing that needs to be repaired. Maybe he can meet someone nice in the park? A community gardener? But in the park he meets his mom. Who is looking very angry at Jack. Willow says "Why do you never call? I haven't heard from you in ages!" But she can't stay angry at Jack for long. After saying goodbye to his mom he decides to give up for today. No looking for a wife for him for the rest of today. He goes fishing and meets new people there. Tomorrow he will give one or both of the female working sims a call. If he can get to know them better, he can see wether one of them is the one for him.
Jack has run out of food and has to explore the land surrounding his little plot of land to search for something to eat. He isn't so enthusiastic anymore when he finds out was is up for breakfast. Raw mushrooms! The mushrooms actually didn't taste so bad as he expected and it fills him up well enough. Surprisingly enough the mushrooms make him feel energized. Jack has found another rare frog and is now trying his luck at frog breeding. It is not something he has done before, but let's see how it goes. He is working hard to gather things to sell. He ends up quite dirty, but it still smiling. Such a cheerful sim! But when it is evening he is getting tired and desparate. But there on the street he meets his parents. His mom gives him a hug. Only a mom can hug you when you smell so bad and need a shower! lol Jack feels better now, and goes to "his" bench in the park to sleep. Hoping the next day will be better. Jack's dreams have come true...he now owns a shower! He loves to sing in the shower. And soon there is enough money for a second hand bed. Now that Jack owns the most basic needs (bed, shower and toilet) it is time to work on the first requirement of the contract. It is time to find a wife. But that can wait until tomorrow. The bed is so soft and Jack can't keep his eyes open. Now it is time to sleep.
Jack Keller had agreed to participate in the government's "Attract new citizens project". Now he found himself in a new world. The grass was so green! He hadn't known about this place and didn't even think it was possible to have such a green world. Now that Jack received the requirements he had to meet in return for receiving a plot of land in Willow Creek. He has to:
But those requirements are a worry for later. Since he has no money, it is time to earn some. Jack tries his luck at fishing. Yay! He caught a super tiny one! It doesn't matter to Jack that it is tiny, it makes him cheerful that he managed to catch a fish at all! Look who is there to check if Jack settled okay in his new "home". His mom (Willow), brother (James) and sister (Jane). He told them not to come, but they showed up anyway. How sweet of them! Now only his dad (Paolo) is missing, but look! He is there too. Jack has found a harvastable plant that isn't edible. Better not waist it! Jack makes a start with his garden. Maybe later he will be able to have is own veggie patch....but he has to find vegetables first. Jack did very well today. And no....his family didn't gave him any of the fishes they had caught. Jack earned everything himself. He managed to find a rare frog and some stones to sell. Before the evening is over he is the proud owner of a toilet! Jack looks everywhere, but he can't find anything to eat or place to cook. He looks and looks, but it isn't easy to find something edible. It is already dark when he finds potatoes. Two potatoes. It isn't much. He can't make a fire. No fire, means eating the potatoes raw. Yuck! But beggars can't be choosers, so he eats it without complaining. That night he spends the night at a bench in the park. It is not very comfortable, but atleast he won't have to sleep on the floor and it isn't raining or snowing. Jack always tries to look at the bright sight of things. The next morning he wakes up refreshed! Jack can't wait to see what the new day will bring.
First Floor Second Floor Jane's Bedroom Shared bedroom of Jack and James There are 3 bathrooms. They look similar so I only took pictures of one of the bathrooms.
On the triplets birthday Willow has a serious talk with Jack about his future. As the eldest he is invited by the government to participate in their "Attract new citizens project". Only the eldest child of each family living in Willow Creek or Oasis Spring may participate. This means that Jack is now invited to join this project. For him it will mean that on his 18th birthday (today) he or will receive a plot of land if he accepts. He would have to start with zero money. There are some other requirements, but those are kept secret until the contract of participation is signed. Jack decided to do it. if his mother can start in a strange town with zero money, then he can do so too. Then it is time to blow the candles! Jack blows out his candles. Jane is up next to blow out the candles. And then James is blowing out his candles! Eating the cake. Then they have to say goodbye to Jack. It is time for him to start a new life of his own.
