Sims 4 Playthrough: Island Living Part 3

I decide to tackle 'Freelance Botanist'.

I also get the 10,000 'never weary' trait as I've just made enough for that.

Now, despite the fact I have some experience gardening, I start from rock bottom, which means planting 3 plants and weeding or watering 10 times. No problem.

Since I have 'never weary', I visit the Mother and, once I'm possessed, communicate with her. Once it's finished, I apply the vaccine. Time to save up for more traits.

When I get back home, I do some gardening.

Then I do more wish-fulfillment, including some painting, and then more gardening (yay).  I end up with my power shut off (oops) and so promptly pay my bills after collecting some honey from my bees. I get a swarm of them and then pollinate plants. Bees are so cool. I love bees. In real life, not just in the Sims.

I get fanmail, which includes a lump of clay, a fish, and a spoiled cupcake. Stop sending me food.

I paint to try and level up in the skill and fulfill a wish. Once I complete that wish, I get the wish to fertilize a plant... so I do.

I get hungry so I grab the last leftover grilled cheese. Delicious.

I get an offer to be a regional manager but decline. Conservation plz.

I bond with the bees and get another swarm, which I send to fetch a gift.  They get me a melaco, which I sell.

I decide to write a children's book.  I IMMEDIATELY reach level seven. Nice.


I finish and then work starts. I work from home again and get the goals to spread conservation awareness and explore the cave. I head off to the cave first.

I feel inspired after seeing a lake inside of the cave, so I respond by playing my guitar. Once I hit level five, I go and find a sim to spread conservation awareness to. And clean up some trash on the way.

I also end up improving Mua Pel'am. Yay!

After cleaning up more trash, I do some snorkeling. By then I'm hungry, so I head home to eat.


Oh look... someone's painting my house AGAIN. >(

I reach gourmet cooking level five while making dinner. Yay.

I head off to the Sand Bar and 'sing songs' on my guitar. This ups my fame, guitar skill, AND singing skill, so a win-win-win. After I sing some songs and level to five, I just straight practice in the hopes of earning simoleons (which fulfills a wish).

Once I collect fifty simoleons, I head on back home.

Work starts and I get a promotion to Nature Historian. Nice. I work from home yet ago, because I have some things I need to do AT home. I need to take samples from the ocean and take pictures of Mua Pel'am. I finish the things to do at home, then take a sample from the ocean before heading to Mua Pel'am.

In taking pictures, I acquire the photography skill. Cool. When I finish my tasks, I run into an "anti-environmentalist". Why are people against taking care of the environment? Honestly. I confront them about their wrongdoing.

When I finish, someone asks me to donate 1000 simoleons to charity. I have enough, so of course I donate. I'm left angry because the anti-environmentalist refused to listen. Ugh.

I analyze the samples of ocean water I collected, hoping I can confront them again later. They start arguing with me in the midst of it, interrupting what I'm doing and having the ocean water sample damaged.

I start chatting with her instead, hoping to maybe get some positive interaction and then try again when I am no longer angry.

I spread conservation awareness and enthuse about conservation as well. During the conversation, I level up in cooking. The option to confront her goes away and I'm hungry, so I leave in short order and head home.

To fulfill a wish, I practice dancing in the floor mirror. I also sell some gifts I got that I don't want to use, so I have nearly ten thousand simoleons. Nice.

When she finishes, I take a bath with lavender foam soak.


When I'm done, George Cahill shows up at my door, so I invite him in. Once he's in, I open a present, sell what I got (digital camera), and then analyze the two ocean samples I have left.

I extract a fossil and end up with a prehistoric rock. Cool beans! Makoa leaves while I'm chatting with George.

I collect a microscopic sample from the fossil and then analyze it on my microscrope.

Cassidy wants to level up in her dancing skill, so I start her dancing. After she dances in front of the mirror, I check on the bees. They have mites! A quick application of the treatment fixes it, and then I bond with them.

I collect honey and a swarm, and have the swarm cheer up George.

Time for dancing. Woo.

Talk like a pirate starts at 6 AM, so that's fun! I head into work, just after my dancing skill gets leveled. Yay (:

I switch work to 'gather field samples' and continue to wait for her return home. While I'm away, George breaks my radio. Argh. Of course, he also fixed it... so I can't be too upset, haha.

He may be a little TOO comfortable...

I get a promotion when I get home, which is nice. Then I start to clean up George's mess.

Look at this mess! So rude!

I get a wish to open a present and so I do. I then collect honey to fulfill another wish. I also get a wish to harvest a plant and my plants are harvestable, so I do that. And, finally, I make some food cuz I'm hungry.

I have a wish to level up in gardening skill, so I go ahead and check the garden. Some plants need watering, yay. And then I repair the broken kitchen sink. -sigh-

Out of nowhere, my needs suddenly jump to entirely full. I'm... I'm not sure what happened??? I'm not going to question it and just keep doing things. Yeah.

While I'm 'very focused', I paint a mathematical diagram. It brings me to level six of the logic skill, which is what my job requires. Yay.

I discover I was in the middle of a book - 'Call of the Ocean' - and start back in on that. Neat. When I'm done, I 'spread conservation awareness' to George to complete my job tasks. Currently, I'm on my day off, but it never hurts to be prepared.

I sell the book to the publisher and get mail. My book gets nominated for an award, which is really super cool! I get clay and a fish from more Strangerville fan mail. Woo.

 I stopped playing for a while and then come back to it, after Realm of Magic has been unleashed. That's going to be my next goal after Sulani, I think. Or maybe I'll focus on Jungle Adventures first instead? Decisions, decisions.

With needs high and nothing that needs to be done, I decide to head out scuba diving. I buy all of the gear first, and then dive with the camera to take pictures.


Uh-oh... there's sharks. Luckily, they pass by with nothing happen. I miss a text for the flea market, oh well.

My needs are still high so... let's dive again perhaps?

I dive back in for treasure. I also get an offer to be an actress. Eh, no thanks.

I see a litterbug on my way to the bathroom, so pause and decide to "Confront about wrongdoing". Alas, they leave before I can get to them and I REALLY GOTTA GO so I just have Cassidy make her way to the public bathrooms. Then, I pick up some trash around the area. I also chase away some seagulls.

By now, I'm hungry. So I go travel to the beach in the neighborhood with my house. There, I grill up some baked potatoes.

Also, pretty picture with pretty fishy.

After I eat, I restore some sand sculptures, cuz why not?

I take a cutting from a wild pineapple plant, and then head home because I am both cold and need a shower.

Part Four
