Chapter 1.10

Hello everyone!

Once again, there was a short *cough* hiatus again because FML 🙂 Anyway, I have 2 weeks off now and I’ll have enough time to play and write. And there’ll be a casting soon and the new bachelor/ette part. I’m so excited, but also scared if there’ll be enough candidates this time.

Soooo, last time. What happened in the last chapter? I have no idea. Let me check … Azure finally made it to the jungle againg (spoiler alert: she’ll go there again in this chapter) and the youngest baby (Ava) became a teen!

Ava: How does it feel getting no votes in the poll at all?

Arthur: You’re looking at it the wrong way. You’ll be a marionette for the invisible monster* forever and I will get my freedom.

Thommy: Born to be the heir, but lost the title to democracy.

Ava: Well, they love me. Accept your defeat.

* ‘Tis I! 😀

To be honest, Arthur is a bit of a “what should I do with him?” kinda sim. His aspiration is bleh (Hope vs. Order) and he’s only a teen so no career climbing for him.

Arthur: It’s snowing. Can I go back inside?

Nah, go for a jog to calm your mind.

Arthur: But I’m totally calm?

Just do it. (No add intended.)

Ava: To conclude my arguments, …

Yeah, she has to work on Research & Debate like her mother because of her Academic aspiration. I usually play this aspiration with aging off (outside of legacies) so I have no idea how to handle it this time.

Ava: What major will the future heiress choose?

Villainy? 😀 I have no idea, tbh.

Azure: It’s mesmerizing, I can’t look away from it.

OK, nice job. Go on with the next one.

Azure: But I … can’t … look away … from it …

Too bad there are no curses in the game. I miss the savageness from The Sims 2 sometimes.

Azure: Can I stop now?

Why?

Azure: LOOK AT ME?! Look at the weather!?

Just this one last artifact and then you can go inside.

Azure: You only say that because it’s the last artifact we have.

You know me so well 🙂

Uhm, Thommy?

Thommy: Can’t talk! In a hurry! About to pee myself.

How about you put down the phone for a second?

Why do sims ALWAYS use their phone now when they go somewhere?

Mo: Oh, screentime! Uh, uhm, what should I say?

Polly: Try apologizing for those pants?

Polly is the daughter Mo had through alien abduction. She’s no alien.

Mailman: NO! My umbrella!

Ef your umbrella, what’s wrong with your arm?!

So… while I was in Selvadorada with Azure, someone wanted to cook something, but it glitched on the floor and now it stinks but I can’t remove it. OK THEN.

Azure: My …

Don’t you dare say umbrella! Your arm goes right through your shoulder!

Mo: Honey, I need the keyboard for work. So we have enough money to get a nice house.

Ava: Dad, I’m doing my homework.

Mo: Oh, I can help you with that!

Ava: Alright. It’s maths tho.

Mo: Never mind then.

Azure: You look so good in your work clothes!

Mo: I feel weird wearing a bow tie and all that. It’s not me.

Azure: Hush, you look like a professional.

Here’s the proof these two still get some action. And every time I sweat nervously because of risky woohoo.

Thommy: She. Stole. My. Throne!

There’s never been a thrown, there’ll never be one! Calm down!

Thommy: She’s the youngest so she got a bonus!

She’s lovely and doesn’t take out her anger issues on the innocent dollhouse.

Look what I’ve found!

Azure: I can’t hide my enthusiasm…

Looks like Harvestfest. Yay…

Arthur: So I’m supposed to kick the bunny gnome?

Nope, hand it an offering.

Arthur: Woot, it’s a candle!

NO, it’s furious… Future cubes always work, I thought?

Polly knows what’s up.

Polly: Of course! It’s not our first Harvestfest.

It feels like centuries that I played the jungle aspiration(s) so a lot of googling had to be done.

I found out that all this time Azure had all the necessary things to put together this temple voodoo statue, but I was too dumb to recognize it.

Azure: I want to try it out on Mo!

It might harm him tho… Let’s try it out on random townies!

I have to admit there are some interactions/actions in the sims that are so epic to watch every single time. One of them is using this voodoo statue.

Azure: Ouch, it burnt my fingers because it’s fricking hot!

Turns out it doesn’t bring harm to the targeted sim, but something positive. What exactly? It’s one of those “I don’t need to write it down, I’ll remember it” kinda things 🙂 Happy moodlet or money or something like that. At least I remember it was positive 😛

Azure: Here we go again.

Tired of the jungle?

Azure: Are you?

Azure looks epic in this screenshot. I love it!

Wait, is Mo here as well?

Azure: Nope, just needed to pee badly.

I can feel you… (Flashback to two days ago when I was stuck in a traffic jam for 2.5 hours :’) )

We arrive in the temple just to find a skeleton doing push ups.

Totally normal thing to see, right? 😀

This skeleton followed Azure around and creeped me out!

I spare you from all the task stuff.

Azure: I found it!

Only 4 more to go! Yes, the first one or two didn’t count because Azure hasn’t been on that milestone yet…

Azure: What about the little whirls on my body?

You can’t remember it? It’ll be one thousand bucks and you’ll be fine.

Arthur: Uh, mom, what’s that on your body? Got new tattoos?

Azure: No, I was poisoned in the temple.

Arthur: So you’ll die!?

Azure: Not if I take the antidote in time.

Polly: Why don’t you get it then?

Azure: Because I’m hungry.

Polly: Looks disgusting.

Azure: It saves my life.

50/50 chance of surviving the poision without the antidote.

Polly: A thousand Simoleons for that…

Does someone else get annoyed by the CONSTANT fears? One can be annoying, but Azure has THREE at once now.

All these jingles (thanks, Mo) brought enough money to finally build a new house. It seems like I started the outside building last year so I only had to do the inside.

Ground floor. The “dark” rooms are for toddlers and babies. We don’t have those currently so I didn’t bother to do anything there yet. Only put what’s already there in one room.

And the first floor. Copy paste on the bathrooms 😀 And I got bored so the bedrooms are … a light and the old bed(s) 😀

Azure: No more blue walls! I got so fed up with this colour.

Your husband is blue.

Azure: And I love this kitchen! Just look at it!

I built it.




OK, let’s do a little announcement here:

The heir/ess poll is over and the result couldn’t be more obvious:

Arthur: 0 votes
Thommy: 1 vote
Ava: 11 votes

So Ava is the new heiress and we’ll have a bachelorette challenge soon! 🙂 There’s still some time left until Ava is a young adult, but I already want to start the casting call. Just click the link below to get to the thread. You’ll find all the necessary information there 🙂
