NOOOO! I THOUGHT I WAS FREE AND SAFE! TAKE IT AWAY! TAKE IT AWAY!

#ea will drive a game to the ground #this is true #for many sims 4 has already crossed that line #i'm just here with my virtual dolls

[handelplayssims]

So we got a little stuff pack reveal. I admit, my interest in this pack is measured by two things. Firstly, adding more things to do with the gem collection in base game. ...it's a tricky collection to get into as I'm pretty certian that only the base game worlds and especially Oasis Springs are the only real reliable worlds to find those gems.

The second one is strictly because I have a FFXIV save-file and goldsmithing is one of my noted jobs for my near onmi-crafter Q'hara.

...I can't believe this is actually tops on my list-of-things-to-purchase though. Mostly because number one is Home Chef Hustle and that's also because of niche use-cases for the food stand. Hello, whenever I get into baking goods and make far too many baked goods. I would like to sell you lot.

-shrugs- But at this point, I've mostly just been using the Sims 4 as a place to vibe with my Splatoon ocs more than anything else. ...mostly because I am massively procrastinating on a project my spouse wants me to put effort into and I don't even feel good touching my personal file while I ignore said project. Ah well.

And this immedately continues with her neighbor Arnessa dropping by! Also found out she's a loner, which is also not dissimiler to her!

So thanks to getting My Wedding Stories and getting the perfect world for her, I'm finally playing as my tabletop darling Princess Elise the Third of Soleanna.

...and just like said tabletop game, she's befriending an authority figure in hopes of guidence! HEH.

(And also Mei turns out to have a trait in common. Gloomy.)

It is 1PM and Ian finally wakes up! Brief break in food in order scare foxes away. ...you know the fun thing about being dead? It means I don’t have to fear hysterical moodlets anymore and can just let Ian have fun in the bathtub. Anyway, time to invite Ren over to hangout and chat and befriend. Ian’s aspiration demands it! It’s 8:40 and Derek’s finally awake and ready to check in on the chickens. Not a good time for it but it seems that they’re fine. And not long after, Ren headed off for his home. Alas! Ah well. We can chat on the computer to top him off to being friends. Ren befriended, now it’s time for Ian to...level up in cooking. -glances at cooking skill- Eh. We’ll make one more dish and then purchase a book if need be. Or wait! Different idea! We learn to bake bread! That sounds fun. And I don’t think about the baking skill that much. Meanwhile Ian wants to chat with Aubrey and she’s just walking around so we’ll go do that.

Hello patch of mushrooms that isn’t normally there! Let’s go picking. We got charming, lovely and spicy. Nice. And Ian’s hungry so let’s actually eat a slice of bread, shall we?

Derek’s next moodlet is- awwww. It’s to get married. Alas it’s super late at night. Next then is to stargaze with Ren but alas. Probably won’t be able to call him over at this time and I don’t want to switch lots. Too late at night!

So I’ll just leave you all with this image of stargazing old men. There is a certain joy in playing a queer family in the Sims.

Also Henford’s night sky is so utterly gorgeous! Shame it’s hard to get it in focus because all there is is first person and that’s real weird when stargazing ...I could just marry these old men right now but eh. We’ll save that for next time. I have an idea in mind for it.

It’s time to say goodbye and time for-!

Kengo Yamaguchi in the Yamaguchi household has died. Kengo tried fixing the toilet and it randomly burst into flames.

Copperdale: The Kobayashi household has moved in.

Fiora Nine in the Shulk and Fiora hosuehold is now a Freelance Artist in the Freelance Artist career.

Anyway, some house cleaning. Eddie and Lilia Landry are now free to move about in homes and all three siblings can now die. Enough time has passed since I played that scenario that they will now be in danger of the hand of Grim! And Ren is spared from it! Now all that’ll happen is the normal culling of Sims. Which, I don’t think’ll happen. He’s friends with the old men, after all.

Next time we’ll be revisiting our vampire slayer the Grey household! See ya then!

Right. Ghost gameplay. ...it’s the same as normal gameplay honestly. I am making up a house rule at the moment that ghosts can’t get jobs though. And perhaps they can’t leave their home neighborhood or without someone to “haunt.” This mostly concerns Ian in that...well, he still has his friendship aspiration. Ohp. Fox spotted. Go away fox, for I am a ghoooost! Hehe. It worked! Also we got a rainbow egg! Likely for Derek’s high relationship with his chickens. That gives quite a bit of money so nicely done Derek! As for Ian, he’s just vibing to the tunes. ...and possessing the jukebox as well. Fun! Tunes listened and now he’s sleepy. To bed with you Ian!

Right. Derek is up! And it’s time to write! Well, practice writing until the whim goes away and then swap to writing a book. And now Ian’s back to being awake. Let’s see, raise charisma for aspiration which we don’t need. We need friends because he’s down to just two of them thanks to dying! I managed to nab back a Social Bunny contact by reacting to them so let’s invite them over! (Should probably do that also with other friends I want to regain) ...Ian just autonomously proposed!? Woah! I wouldn’t have done that with ghost relationships but ah well! Anyway, befriended Agatha again! And book written. Time to at least start another one!

Hmm. Ian wants to practice a routine...and the routine practising isn’t up. I need to compose a new one! But computer is taken! Alas! But Derek needs to take a bath and go to bed! Computer free! Composing comedy time. But-!

Neighborhood Watch!

Winston Stroud in the Stroud household left his job as a Medical Intern in the Doctor career.

Ariana McAdams in the McAdams household has started a job as a Freelancer in the Freelancer career.

I’ve got two more days left! Let’s see if we can wrap this household up! Derek! Going to bed. Ian...wants a drink. Alas! No pub for you until Derek wakes up. He does want to chat with someone so let’s just linger outside a bit. See if we can spot an early morning jogger. Jogger spotted! It’s one of our old friends Aubrey Shelley! Let’s restrike up that friendship! And Neighborhood Brawl is kicking up. But both of these boys, aka elders, are elders so they’re going to ignore it.

Aubrey was about to leave for her job. Noble but we’re so close to becoming friends. (Also I didn’t realize that was what she was about to do and stopped her in her tracks, alas!) Anyway, now it’s time to gather eggs. Huh. Orange Egg this time. Seems that if you want the stuff to get animal treats for those special furs and stuff, get a chicken. Ian’s soon to needing rest. Let’s just take care of some slight whims first. Calling on the phone and listening to tunes. Scratch the tunes! It’s time to rest.

Derek’s up. The ground is free of snow now so I can finally plant things. I have a chocoberry and a raspberry and some starting flowers so I’ll plant some of all of those. Annnd I can water them all with my tears. Glorious. He cries so hard puddles form on the ground. What grief he must feel! Annnd the Finchwick Fair has started up! It’s cow festival so the boys don’t have anything to show but it would be a good time to sell eggs and to just hang out. AWW. Our little chickie came up to us while we were crying! And received pets. That’s sweet! Anyway, time to gather our eggs, gather our ghost fiance, and head on over to the plaza!

315 simoleans. A merger profit. Especially since we’re going to turn around and purchase plants from the garden shop next door! That’ll be a massive expenditure ...they have a Bird of Paradise?! That’s a rare flower there! All of the fruit and veggies I picked up are going straight over to Derek, gardener he is! Anyway, I had Derek hang by the cow and Ian re-establish his friendship with Sara Scott. In doing so, I seem to have knocked her out of her bartending perch so Derek can’t get food from her. Alas! I’ll give it a bit and see if she resets to position. ...don’t get hung up giving food, Sara! Give me my Beef Wellington! After the food, it’s finally time to head home. Both have whims for the radio...but it’s time to plant stuff so Ian wins out on whims!

There we go! A row of fruits, a row of veggies, a row of mushrooms and two plots open for oversized crops! And two fruit trees as well. We’ll be making LOADS of passive income! And now to do the best thing we can do with our grief. Mourn it over some plants. ALL of them. And our chick is now a hen! Elias to Eliane! Good to know. More eggs for us! And finally, at 8AM, Derek finally goes to sleep. Making it time for-

Neighborhood Watch!

Sulani: The Moss household moved out.

Bautista Bencomo in the Bencomo household has died. Bautista heard a dad joke and laughed a little too hard.

Aww no! I think someone was friends with you, and I know you had a kid. RIP!

Fiora Nine in the Shulk and Fiora household left her job as a Low-Orbit Specialist in the Astronaut career.

Jung Ashley in the Ashley household has started a job as a Conservation Regulator in the Enviromental Manager career.

Glimmerbrook: The Hiddlestix household has moved in.

...fitting honestly.

Strangerville: The Banks household recently moved out.

...and I just remembered something. I have plans for our librarian friend to take over this home when Derek is near death. I better actually turn of die-by-accidents for him. After tomorrow.

[handelplayssims]

We’re back with the mourning Derek. Oooh, our librarian friend dropped by to give a gift! Nice! And so thoughtful considering what just happened… But more importantly a fox, named Mystery, is trying to steal our eggs! So it’s time to be social with the fox. Be social enough so that he won’t steal our eggs anymore! ...we had to get a full relationship meter to do so. Man! I mean, it is a wild fox after all.

Now even more importantly…

We have a little chick! Time to befriend them!

Now we can finally attend to wants and whims. Like reading a book! Which counts for the discovery quest as well so nice! We got needs potions for it. Ehhhhhh. Don’t like using those. Time to ignore this whenever it pops up for other households and files! Next to listen to the tunes and analyze a book. ...this household is considerably going to slow down at this point with just Derek here now. Now we can start a book! ...I say start because at 4AM, he needs to sleep. To bed with ye, Derek!

Neighborhood Watch!

Nothing of note has happened lately. Check back tomorrow!

Alright. Let’s take care of the sad boy. And when I say boy, I mean elderly man Derek. Taking care of needs, food and stuff and feeding and socializing with the chickens. I figure a few socials will be the way to go with this. He is an Animal Enthusiast after all and at this point, nothing is distracting me from making friends with our chickens! -sniff sniff- Meanwhile, his first want is to read a book. I made some more purchases since he initially picked up and re-read a book he already read. Gotta find new ones!

...oh hey! Derek’s in an emotionally mindful moodlet. That might be the thing to shake him out of his glumness. ...we’re going BOLD. We’re going brave! ...and it still can’t break through the double whammy grief of losing your spouse! Dang! Anyway, time to listen to classical music. Quite fitting for his mood. Oh hey, his one friend Ren the librarian, keeps dropping by. And now he, and I, are not distracted enough that I can chat with him.

Honestly, the classical music, which has a lot of sad and dour pieces to it, is really fitting the mood at the moment. I really don’t have any socials to chat about in regards to the grief itself. Complain about Problems, I suppose will have to do.

-gasp- I hear ghost noises! Ian’s here! You know what I’m going to do? Get this ghost into this household again! Then Ian can stick around until Derek dies and together, they will go off into the afterlife. Hmm. Seems I can’t invite him to chess. Alas. Gotta do this the old fashioned way. Talking their ears off.

...the rooster is crowing! It’s 5AM! Come on! Come on! He’s going to vanish with the morning soon! ...I SEE THAT GOODBYE QUEUED UP! Coooome onnnn! THERE!

This is the joy of a man who doesn’t have to say goodbye to his spouse just yet! And me! I don’t have to worry about it either! (He definitely would have de-spawned before I got back to this household) Anyway, sending Derek to bed so it’s time for-

Neighborhood Watch!

Dwight LeBlanc in the LeBlanc household is now a Cadet in the Detective career.

Now we’re just vibing until the library “opens” at 9:00. I glanced at the google at that is about the time they open up! Sent Ian to birdwatch and Derek to write a little.

Annnd this is why I sent Ian to the birds. High singing ability means we can sing with them! Beautiful! Anyway, it’s time to pop over to the library in Britechester. It’s where Derek wants to go and Ian needs to meet someone in another location for his aspiration. Also I suddenly remembered I could have Ian introduce people to Derek. Because he would if there were traits in common. (It’d be the only way he’d make friends) Anyway, Ian’s going home while Derek’s going to work on his novel. ...or the computer could break down. That too. Anyway now I’m just going to stare at the person hogging the one computer remaining.

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare. I’ll give it until 4PM until I go home ..IT BROKE DOWN AS WELL. BASTARD GAME! To home with us!

Paying bills and...3 thousand. YEESH. These men need pensions or something! The grip of mortgage payments looms over us all. -sees fox rushing towards the coop- NO! Go away! I’ve got a chick to hatch! Hopefully. Right. Ian needs to make 12 friends. Ho boy. Let’s get to work. Ohp! Wait! I was going to finish writing the book before Derek went to bed. Let’s go do that. Ian made a friend with Aubrey Shelley, a near randomized Sim I made up in an alt file and moved into Henford. Annnd his want isn’t clearing. We know what we have to do for that then. Anyway, the Creature Keeper, who is now a random sim named Barret Case (again, the starting Sim died) is out and about so befriending time! Right, after some chatter, and talking up Derek to a fellow animal lover, we head back home. Ian’s sleepy, after all! Meanwhile we finish off writing that book and send it off for Derek. Some passive income, yaaay!

Neighborhood Watch!

Brindleton Bay: The Raghavan household moved out.

Right, it’s been long enough another patch has happened. So now I have a new test file Sim to add to the world. Patricia Moss, an evil botanist. Well gardener for now but botanist is the goal. And she’s going into...Sulani. Not her first choice but we’re running low on starter lots.

Back to Moody and McMillan! Ian’s up and it’ s Love Day. Day of loooove.

Oh, Discovery Quests are a new thing. Basically tutorial for how the Sims works. I’m experienced enough to not care but I might as well do them on this file just to get the basic rewards. Anyway, Ian wants to practice a comedy routine since he’s a goofball, so let’s compose one first ...oh I evidently didn’t need to compose a routine to practice one. Welp. Ah well. Anyway, Derek’s finally awake, so let’s walk on over to the National Park for a date! ...yes I am having the two walk over there in-game as well. Gotta enjoy the scenery somehow.

Oh hey! I can have both Sims go and be playful for this date since Ian is already playful ...annnnd he’s hysterical now. God. If he dies during this date! Well we got gold for the date at least. Just some nice romantic chatting. I’m going to the restroom with Derek, (in a bush even) don’t die! No death towards eating food. Hmm, let’s have a snowball fight. That might-

And there we go.

Please Grim! It’s Love Day! Have a heart? No? Nope. Alas. I guess we’re just trudging home with a new fear of death in our hearts and much sadness. Eight days of mourning to be had. (Man mourning is overbuffed in Meaningful Stories) So we’re just going to be sad and listen to the tunes Derek likes. Or even perhaps...write! Channel that grief! Needs quest specifically calls for a nap so might as well. Let’s get back to writing then. But then!

Neighborhood Watch!

Carson Allen in the Allen household is now a Captian in the Detective career.

...so fun fact to start out with. Derek has 5 Pet Training, so he’s trained dogs and 2 Vampire Lore. What a life he has lead. Anyway, attempted to chat to the fox named Mystery to not steal but alas, didn’t go over well. New Year’s Eve is here! Ian wants to party and Derek wants to decorate. Anyway, after some breakfast and chatter, I was going to have Ian and Derek go to the library, as per Derek’s whim but alas, old men are getting sleepy. I did continue at least the errand Ian has by chatting up the Creature Keeper that lives around the area.

Derek wakes up first. While I plan on dropping by the bar to celebrate the new year, as this place doesn’t have a tv...Derek gets to read a book first. Nearly ten pm before the needs are all set! We gotta hustle to the bar now! Annnd Countdown to Midnight finished. Still eternally amused by all of the Sims clustering by the tv. The Mayor, who is not Lavina Chopra because she died, dropped in so that’s also another major NPC for the errands! Now we just need to drop by during the day to talk to the vendors. New Year’s finished and both have had an excellent time! Nice nice.

Next whim for Ian is to make a friend. Which is a part of his aspiration so we can work on chatting up random folks around here! After taking a long time with his drink, we’re pulled away to the restroom so I can finally figure out who I want Ian to befriend. Probably a better idea to go and befriend the residents and NPC’s around here first and foremost. And I barely know anything about Rahmi Watson so let’s go say hi to her at her home! ...I got her lifestyle which is People Person. Not quite what I want. Anyway, I had a cute idea on what to do, and it was a snowball fight! After raiding the fridge here, we had a little more social chatter and found out Rahmi is a perfectionist. And befriended her! Nice. To home with Ian! And to check in on…

Neighborhood Watch!

Taion Human in the Agnian Team household has died. Taion tried to make cereal but it burst into flames.

...dang it. Losing my Xenoblade 3 folks is a shame, but expected I suppose.

Britechester: The Tilo household moved out.

Back home and I decided to have Derek befriend our rooster and chicken. He is an animal lover after all, so at least let’s get some friendships going. And then by the time he listened to his tunes and analysed a book, he was sleepy. Alas and alack. Ian’s up and he wishes to chat about dishes. ...to the bar we go once more! Annnd I spotted Agatha Crumplebottom around the world! Let’s go say hi before she flees! We got gossip to chat about! Annnd job complete! Woo! I got a cross-stich pattern I will never use.

Right, next whims. Listen to Electronica and chatting with Derek and dancing to the tunes at the bar. Right, let us DANCE! Chatting with someone and they’re a “bar regular.” It’s something of a glitched occupation that means that the Sim will likely despawn super-quickly. Not much worth getting to know those folks! Anyway, let’s head back and check in with Derek. Show some romantic affection between the two. Derek’s whims are likely borked by the switching in and out while he’s sleeping so let’s purchase a Want Refresher. Annnd he wants to travel to a library and chat with Ian. ...our chickens are going to be ignored! Also I made an omelet for Ian but he just whips out a Beef Wellington from the bar. I SEE HOW IT IS. (...it’s likely the reward food from the errand but ya know)

Neighborhood Watch

Makoa Kealoha in the Kealoha household has started a job as a Gavel Smasher in the Judge career.

Henford-on-Bagley: The Chandler household has moved in.

[handelplayssims]

Righty! We’re entering into a new household this time! The Moody & McMillan household!

We got old gays with conflicting personalities and a GOAL. Well a goal for me at least. The goal is to make friends with at least one of these guys so I can pass the house along when they die! These two old men don’t have any children of their own, which nice and all, but the Sims 4 is implicity all about creating a linage to pass down homes as dying alone gives you a game over state. That being said, I haven’t ever objected to just giving a home to someone the elderly sim has a high relationship with. That’s how Cameron Fletcher slid into my played families! And it doesn’t need to be given away soon, just near the end of their lifespans.

I will also make note that the home lot for this family was designed by HeyHarrie! I’ll likely give my thoughts on the build at the end of the turn with the household, as it does give me enough time to determine whether or not I, as someone who doesn’t build much myself but plays extensively within a build, like it.

Right, that’s enough preamble, let’s play!

Breakfast time and this is the first time I can show off the new cooking layout! Alongside the kitchen stuff pack release, we got a rebalancing of the cooking menu with subfolders! Now personally, I wish for qualifications on breakfast, lunch and dinner foods but I’ll take the dietary restrictions.

Derek McMillan is a skilled chef, Ian Moody isn’t so we’re having him cook. We also have a chicken coop around so I purchase two hens and one rooster. ...oh and both Derek and Ian have a fear of dying. I’m gonna have them talk to each other about that to clear that off. Or at least Ian will since the want to clear that fear is on him.

-snicker- Remember that Neighborhood Watch about Ian becoming a Superstar actor and retiring from it? Well, it seems that it didn’t matter much to him as he’s getting no retirement pay from it! Which fine by me, but that’ll just be amusing when I see it pop up.

Anyway, Ian’s who we loaded into so let’s look at his whims. A drink of nectar as a foodie and to call someone. ...he literally has no one to call as his only social contact is Derek and the new chickens. Let’s get to work on that! Meanwhile, Derek has much calmer whims, listening to Baroque and Classical music. Welp, might as well! First purchase in this house! A stereo!

OH MY GOD. Birds are flying around Ian as he sings his beautiful music. That was a thing in Cottage Living’s trailer but never noticed how you got that. DISNEY PRINCE!

Hey Rahami Watson! Don’t leave! I want to make friends with- and there she goes. Alas and alack. Welp, at least I can fullfill the whim.

Also, gotta say, the sunsnow around here is super-pretty! Not like the British weather I’ve experienced at all. (Then again, this pack is all about an idealized British countryside life)

Let’s see...using a bar in the Cotswolds as a reference, thanks Google Maps, I won’t have Ian go off for his nectar until noon. That leaves me with Derek and his tunes and ohp! Both are sleepy! And both are retired so they can sleep and rise whenever they wish!

I hear a negative sting in the game and we have lost a chicken AND a fox has an egg! Le gasp! I haven’t had to deal with the Wild Foxes negative lot trait in a long while, as it’s only in Henford! Our chickens need protecting! That being said, Ian doesn’t hate foxes. On the contrary, I think he actually is rather fond of them. So instead of shooing this fox, we’re going to befriend him! ...or all of the foxes around could head off. Sure fine! And it means are chickens are safe for now. To bed with Derek!

Ian is first up! His whims, still nectar and to listen to Electronic music! ...well he’s hungry so lets finally head to the bar! Compared to many other bars in game, which just have the basic food options Get Together introduces, Henford-on-Bagley does have some expanded food options! Mostly from the person who built this bar, and perhaps their own research, pointing out that many British pubs do serve as restaurants as well as bars, in contrast to the US, which most bars just have drinks and paltry food selections.

Anyway, let’s introduce ourself to the barkeep and check in on her errands! Several NPCs within Henford-on-Bagley do have small quests you can do for them. A Friendly Visit would work well with Ian’s wants and whims so let’s pick that up! What we are to do is to talk to the other Henford-on-Bagley major NPCs! They’ll pop up around the square but it’s in the evening so that won’t work out. Anyway, Ian’s aspiration is to become a Friend of the World so let’s go and chat and befriend Sara while we’re at it! This old man is certainly taking his time befriending Sara. Going to have to run around the socials so many times around. Making it worse is that I have to manually pick the socials rather than just relying on what pops up first since she’s a bartender and so it buries the socials under the menus rather than just popping them up naturally. Finally befriended her around 2AM. Now we can head home and listen to our favorite tunes...which incidentally, aren’t Sara’s favorite tunes. I would argue about that but I want them to be better friends first so it doesn’t ruin their relationship.

Derek’s whims didn’t refresh since I left mid-sleep but that works out fine by me. He wants to start writing a new book thanks to his best-selling author aspiration. That we can get to work on now! (Also would make some nice passive income in our retirement)

-sighs as Ian gets a Social Bunny notification- He would have Facebook, wouldn’t he? Ian’s a bit too social not to. I got a notification of foxes and NOPE! Let’s have Derek go pester them! ...and it’s 5AM already. Wow. Can’t believe it’s time for-

Neighborhood Watch!

Lottery day! Might as well purchase some tickets, even if 2B and 9S don’t need the money. 2B’s got less than two hours until she heads into work so I’ll just have her meditate a bit before heading out. 9S is finally awake at 11AM! Low fun so lets do his whim, playing chess. Second whim is to chat with Tetsuya, who’s at work until 4. We’ll just play chess until then and then invite him over. ...I’m also planting a bug on him. Just because. Work for 9S is, once again, writing reports. So again, we’ll write that report and then be parked at the computer for even more time. ...ah yes, need a new aspiration for 9S. I’ll go with Nerd Brain, as it ties into Logic and Handiness is not that bad.

2B wants to chat with Alice Spencer-Kim but alas, 9S has his socialization going on, not with Tetsuya, but with Eddie, who dropped by. Thankfully, they both left. So the two just had a little chat. Right. 2B still has her aspiration to do so when we are to chat with Alice Spencer-Kim, we’ll do it at the Onsen, right next to the slopes. A nice check in was had. Right, now let’s SHRED THOSE SLOPES! ...the bunny slopes, I mean. At least until level 2. Annnd injury. I was going to switch slopes but with that, we better relax some more at the onsen. Annnd it’s 5AM on the next day. And Winterfest. Neither 2B or 9S have any particular desires to do anything on this holiday. ...but at some point, you know my boy is going to rush over and go “2B! 2B! Where have you been!?” Jealous as he is. Also, I misunderstood! I thought we needed some snowboarding and rock climbing but I just needed the rock climbing. ...ah, and I got a reminder about climbing gear. Ah well. When we got home, I’ll get that sorted. For now, we practice! ...and bring 9S over. So he can check in on 2B and join in on her in rock climbing. Also Sabrina Slade won the lottery. Congratulations to this random townie.

I had 2B and 9S exchange gifts at least. They would at least do that for Winterfest, I believe. Meanwhile, while 2B rock climbs, I had 9S ski. Seems like a 9S thing to do. Also AYE! I finally got a call from another sim to hang out! Aurun asked 9S to hang out at his home. Sims update just happened that made changes to allow that to work. Wooo. Still rejecting it though. We’re skiing! Now we can focus on 9S’s whim! Asking 2B on a da- she’s sleepy. Dang it. Well, let’s return home. Good day at the slopes, very productive towards skill building. ...after 9S gets a skill raise in skiing first. Now he’s sleepy. Might as well do the festive things together and then go to sleep. Wait no, woohoo and THEN sleep. Because yep. Yep. That be those two.

Let’s see then. 2B’s whims are to flirt with Miko Ojo...eh and to mourn the dead. Ehhhh. We don’t even have any dead to mourn. Father Winter is here so we’ll just wait for him to go away before heading out to the local bar with Miko. Ahp, Father Winter is chatting with 2B, let’s see if we can ask for a prese- annnd there he goes. Ah well. Eh, this is the final day so let’s just get some rest before we end this time with the androids. And just about 5AM! Nice! Let’s check Neighborhood Watch and head off!

Neighborhood Watch!

Tyrell Carlisle in the Carisle household has died. Tyrell asked a rabbit if it wanted a carrot, but the rabbit chose violence.

Rosa Landgraab in the Lend household left her job as a Getaway Driver in the Boss career.

Oooooh intersting! That might mean new paths for her. Maybe.

Forgotten Hollow: The Paewai household recently moved out.

Tatum Olivas in the Olivas household retired from the Diver career.

Alright, let’s see where the dice roll takes us. Ooooh, Moody and McMillan! We’re going to visit some old gays next time so see you all then!

Right, been a bit so let’s assess. No work today because it’s “moving day.” 9S is playing a game and 2B is doing yoga to try to de-stress. 9S wants to smooch 2B! Fair enough. I would go on a date but I want that Welcome Wagon. Neighbors drop in just as I have 9S and 2B woohoo. Kinda funny that. 9S is the one who’s chatting with them all and finds out that Hina Matsumoto is a Genius. 9S’s type of gal! I immediately move to make them friends. 2B has gone out for a jog during all of this. Doesn’t want to get involved.

Hmm. 2B is still stressed. You know what? There is a Spa and Gym around this area! It’s time for relaxation! Having said that, we can work on her aspirations while here. I already checked the wildlife report so now I’m going to go down the Bunny Slope! ...also I need to get her a better snowboard in Build Mode. I keep forgetting you can do that. And buy deterrents off of the computer. But for now, let’s work on that rock climbing! ...though she’s naturally stressed again thanks to the people hanging around the gym. Because of course. Anyway, she’s tired now so off to home to slumber.

9S’s whim is to not miss 2B so I’m just going to have him read next to 2B in bed. Next whim is to share ideas so let’s go and chat with Hina some more. Annnd I went to the wrong house. One moment! And some chatter and a chess game and the two are friends! Nice! ...you think chess might instead be shogi over there? Eh, I expect there is also chess players as well. And with that, we head home, making it time for-

Neighborhood Watch!

August Randall in the Randall household has died. August got on the bad side of a chicken.

Felipe Lucena in the Lucena household has died. Felipe was victim to a vicious chicken attack.

Recognize that name but don’t remember where. Still, RIP!

Henford-on-Bagley: The Haney household moved out.

Newcrest: The Father Winter household recently moved out.

Alas no chance to play Father Winter.

Hmm. The reason 2B is so tense all the time is because she’s at risk of losing her close-knit lifestyle. ...and I honestly don’t see too terribly a reason why she would maintain her relationship with Gerald Mulligan, so let’s go be mean to him! That’s better. Other whim is to cloudgaze with an extremely outgoing person she befriended so let’s go and find a moderately sunny area. Not going to ask for anything better because it’s winter.

...huh. I went to a Thrift-And-Bubble-Tea store I set up in Newcrest and it turns out that the Sim they pre-generated took over for that one instead of the one in Copperdale. (Or maybe she’s still the manager of Copperdales? Eh. We’ll see.) Annnnd I completely forgot 2B has work. It’s practising sparring, easily done. Going to spar with Majorie first to see if it counts it off. Turns out, no so we’re going to go home to practice.

9S wants to kiss 2B. Would also think about dating her and we do have the time for it. 8 hours and dates take 6. So let’s go on a date once 2B is done working out! To the park! It is during this date that I realize I’m now in the home stretch of doing romantic socials between the two. DO THOSE ROMANTIC SOCIALS 9S! 9S has now finished the Soulmate aspiration! Good for him! We’ll sort out his next one after he gets back from work. Anyway, with all that dating done, 9S is going to head off to work now and 2B is going to take a hike. As per the aspiration, taking hikes around the neighborhoods is a part of it.

We even manage to encounter a Kodama, which is apart of the aspiration! Nice! Next whim for 2B is to hang out on a lot for a few hours so let’s go home and read up about Rock Climbing. ...since it’s the next stage and we can’t actively climb yet.

9S is back from work and needs a bath and some rest. He shall do those things! Meanwhile 2B is working out...because. (It’s something to do and what’s what she automatically went towards after reading the book and so I just let her have at it after some more book reading) It’s also 8 hours until 2B’s job starts up and her energy need is low too so let’s also have her go to bed.

Neighborhood Watch!

San Myshuno: The Free Spirits moved out.

Alas! Farewell once more, my arts-y lesbians!

Like I would like to be able to have two families live in an apartment, I already have a set-up like that in my files already...

...but fuck landlords.

So next Sims 4 expansion pack is about property management.

HARD FUCKING PASS ON THAT SHIT.
