This is the lobby of the apartment complex Baxter lives in during Step 4! It's one of the final BGs remaining for the DLC.
Whoops this was meant to go up tomorrow, haha. I scheduled it wrong and now there's a double post. Oh well.

Since he has more scenes, Baxter will have extra voiced phrases to go with them! Here's a small sample of them ✨

Bringing the boy home. It goes probably as expected 😌
[Since we released a Baxter beta build with the entire story yesterday, most of the previews we've got from now on won't be a sneak peek for those who have played that, aha.]

Yes Baxter, here we are. This is it. The beta we've got for you today has the entire story of Mr. Ward!!!! Thank God.
I do need to explain, though, that generally a beta update is 20-25k words of new content. However, this build is 90,000 words bigger than the last one. All added i...

Bad news, Baxter Ward will not go swimming in Step 4 and that means no swimsuit layer. Good news, there is still some reason he ends up topless in a scene, haha.
But it's not that exciting, I'm afraid. The main game is still appropriate for teens.

Shawna has created the system for adding personal touches your bedroom in Step 1. There's a lot of neat things about it, but the most charming is that it actually transitions from sunset to night as you put out your things 💕
This feature will be in the upcoming OL2 beta expansion!

And here's the finished version ✨. He keeps things sleek and simple. And yeah, it has a lot of black, white, and gray, haha.

Since Baxter's DLC is getting close to completion and soon we'll be promoting OL: N&F a lot more, we got brand new bio images for the two leads!
The text is the same as the originals, but they're so much more charming looking 💕...

Another beautiful BG has been finished 🍂! It's the local park. Kids like to come play here, and many high schoolers have to pass through to get to their school.
So, you'll become quite acquainted with the place over the years.

And the venue lobby BG is done.

What a stunning location 💕. It's simply decorated, but everyone did their best to put it together.
You also hang out in the lobby of the building a little bit before the wedding, so there's a sketch for that!

I forgot, we've also had this Step 3 piece to share! Tamarack is so beautiful 😭💖.
Okay, now we're out of content that skips to the later Steps of the game, haha. But there will be plenty of Step 1 previews to come.

To keep it simple, we'll stick to their Step 4 appearances. Good luck deciding.
