Mineral Town Challenge 016

It's Monday (in-game) and Clair has been working non-stop because of yesterday heartache. Yes, we all know they're technically not together anyone, and she has to keep telling ignoring his "date" calls because the challenge says, dates are only allowed on "calendar date" days. 

The Moonlight Farm has finally been leveled up enough that there are new animals coming! May was super excited on a phone that I could barely make out what she was saying. Horses! miniatures, ponies, and horses!! What? We had to rush to go to the Yodel Ranch to see.

This little one was a bit worried about me coming around. He finally let me pet him a little bit. 🥺What a sweetheart. 

I cannot believe this beautiful creature warmed up to me pretty quick! 

This was a big softie as well. Awww, my heart is so full! Thank you to these sweet, gorgeous creatures.

Wait, oh no! Before the day ended I got this call:

Don't play with Clair's heart like this. I mean, Popuri... Argh. Okay, I had to click "Of course!" I wasn't really sure if the romance bar was going to suffer if I had clicked "Ghost him", I was not going to risk that. So any day now, he may ask me to go out -- but it's not challenge-allowed. 🤷What do I do?!

The next "date day" is not until 3weeks later. 🙄 ((Re-checking rules and loop-holes)... There are no rules against dates in the MTC.

Here's what's from HMRC:

So... the only rule is to make sure the Romance bar is 50 and above. I have to check that before he asks Clair on a date. 😅

Okay, this is the funniest thing. I left the game unpaused while I was typing and lost half of Tuesday. But look who just popped up at the farm!

Check and double-checked!

Also, NO, I did not cheat. I was just right-clicking the relationship bar to see the numerical values. No game cheats are allowed in this Challenge, aside from moveobjects and the first relationship values set-up for all the townies (which is why Popuri was still flirting with Kai).

At Romance level 54 Clair can now accept date invites from Kai, but she cannot invite him until it's gone up to level 70 and above. So really there's 3 weeks in-game to do that. 

Since part of the Challenge is to make sure that Clair revives the farm and marries one of the marriage candidates, she also has to have a max out friendship level with the the family who Kai is closest to, that would be Zack. 💪 So for Wednesday, after all the farm work, we're going to try and sweet talk Zack for a blessing.

So far, he's not quite sure about what to think of Clair. 😅😅😅

Thursday was spent all day taking care of the farm because I made some changes... First, I installed the Farmland Mod by awesome Arnie. I do want to play his story mode save as well, but I REALLY want to have some of his items for my Mineral Town Save. I tried out several things, but for now here are the changes: 

I kinda like it, it looks more natural (?)

The reason why I had the gates anyway was because I thought the neighbors would just come to my farm, and steal my fruits and things. Well, I learned that if I have NAP disable, it shouldn't happen, so I took the fences down. It is for some reason also now easier on the eyes, I don't know exactly why, it just looks better.  

After all that hard work, Friday rolls over and Summer is about to end, so Clair had to actually start shopping for the some Fall seeds. 

She was about to sort all this mess up, and Kai called asking Clair out on a date! A date-date! Not a let's hangout kind of thing. He bring hers to... the mall. 🙄 What is it and guy's planning dates like this?

Here's Clair giving Kai that "It's a good thing you're cute."

We went in F&S and he kept eyeing the other boys chatting, I knew he was going to start having a conversation with them too.  🙄 BOYS.

Clair decided she was also going to look around and not just waste time. 

She decided not to buy the outfit, but quickly got Kai out of that guy conversation, and started chatting with him. They talked and flirted for a while. 10pm or so, Kai says it was time for him to go and that he will call Clair "maybe". Excuse me? Maybe?! 

Clair called him over as he was walking out the street and the first kiss happened. 💛 She WILL get this boy. 💛

Gourmet just walking along like this after seeing the kiss. 😅

It wasn't such a bad date after all. 💛 It was pretty cute.

Awkward kiss, holding hands, the night lights. I think it went well. 💛

Saturday, and were back to working in the farm, I just loved 

I was surprised to be invited by the Harvest Goddess to the Romance Festival! She ended up doing her own thing though, it was a good thing I met up with my girls. 💛 Oh, yeah, Kai and Cliff were there too.

Sunday and it's officially Autumn!! 🍃 My absolute favorite season (honestly, the only season I like), and that means new plants! So for the whole day, all Clair did was plant and tend to the whole farm. As you can see it took ALL day.

That's it for this in-game week!
