My luck has been high. My athletics skill is good. Maybe... I can jump to an intermediate slope before I practice on the bunny hill.</p><p>...</p><p>Let's try it!</p><p>And it looks like I need level three first. Ah well. At least I can do the easy slope.

Gosh, I hate that he's an elderly dog now. I don't mind caring for him, I don't mind that I have to be careful, I don't mind the sickness.

Dusty ages up to an elder. I do not want Dusty to die. I do <i>not</i> like this.<p></p><p>Samanta leaves the house on good terms with Cassidy, which is nice. First, I go into world edit and build a vacation place to my exacting tastes in Mount Komorebi. What? I am a person with STANDARDS!</p><p>Once the lot is set up - I just edited a pre-existing one to have a pet bed and other pet stuff - I take Dusty and start a vacation to this world.</p><p>Once I'm in Mt Komorebi, I also go ahead and plan some new outfits. I need some really sturdy winter stuff, since I'll be vacationing in the winter mountain world WHILE IT'S WINTER!</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU2KK8k0rmG8yf5l5YA3tQQNzBfIKegExQjzXe4DIWbjltrhTVxvptmIpoG-z6VFphathSrdh6dQIcT8WH_hGP879qi1UU4BiyyU1thWRy2cvnvVrVnaOZ3BpAokP7bhJkOfMgzeL3oVI/s1920/01-18-21_9-25-41%25C2%25A0AM.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="1920" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU2KK8k0rmG8yf5l5YA3tQQNzBfIKegExQjzXe4DIWbjltrhTVxvptmIpoG-z6VFphathSrdh6dQIcT8WH_hGP879qi1UU4BiyyU1thWRy2cvnvVrVnaOZ3BpAokP7bhJkOfMgzeL3oVI/w400-h209/01-18-21_9-25-41%25C2%25A0AM.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Much warmer</td></tr></tbody></table><p>My goals seem to be fairly simple. I want to eat food at one of Mt. Komorebi's festivals, take a photo with the mascot, pop open a Simmi capsule (???), and swim in the Wakaba river.</p><p>Well, let's go freeze our butts off for at least an hour by swimming! C'mon, Dusty, time for FUN! (actually, probably just cold). Unfortunately, I do not have enough satisfaction points to buy the Iceproof trait. That's officially next on my list.</p><p>...I actually forget to select Dusty to travel with me. -facepalm- Well, I suppose it's fine, he gets to be nice and cozy.</p><p>I go ahead and dive into the river. One 'swim around' covers it. There's a board nearby which tells me the next festival is the Festival of Light on Friday.</p><p>I change into some warmer clothes after my swim and go hunt down the mascot.</p><p>I find the statue, but unfortunately, I need Yamachan themself to complete the wish. Alas. At least my Simstagram followers will be happy...?</p><p>Looks like I'm waiting until Friday - it'll get me everything I need. I head home back to Dusty to spend time with my aging pup and do a couple of gigs for my freelancing career. I go ahead and give Dusty a bath after some attention to make sure he's nice and clean and handsome, for anyone else who may be renting the other rooms here.</p><p>I also get a playful moodlet from wearing shoes in the house. Woops! So after I bathe Dusty I go ahead and take them off before I get started on those gigs.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLslFsXSVgfj9YsGOczrYeRi6g2AsXkVbQLOduzORMEn4Mgyy-s7yvYxgxwmcryslOZCDy8DrZSxRhf4jwCVssAdIEp_ftPCj4tJVrhAwpkwOXMjw6YtFoP8xbe-jR8aeAgl1Cow8TZ7Y/s1920/01-18-21_9-39-42%25C2%25A0AM.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="1920" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLslFsXSVgfj9YsGOczrYeRi6g2AsXkVbQLOduzORMEn4Mgyy-s7yvYxgxwmcryslOZCDy8DrZSxRhf4jwCVssAdIEp_ftPCj4tJVrhAwpkwOXMjw6YtFoP8xbe-jR8aeAgl1Cow8TZ7Y/w400-h209/01-18-21_9-39-42%25C2%25A0AM.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dusty snoozes while I work</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKC7oeKRl1If8Hafw2MyteCrGu46pZZlY5qBcvKR_YalfkPFJbzQh0SDhyQAdLc2txzmwZXfXJpaENO-xAiwEw_okYAaPvvNEtLXVRm2yYPXATa0AqdfyoEx3d2CN0OLZ2dS-OXQ9TJ9s/s532/freelancebook.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="342" data-original-width="532" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKC7oeKRl1If8Hafw2MyteCrGu46pZZlY5qBcvKR_YalfkPFJbzQh0SDhyQAdLc2txzmwZXfXJpaENO-xAiwEw_okYAaPvvNEtLXVRm2yYPXATa0AqdfyoEx3d2CN0OLZ2dS-OXQ9TJ9s/s16000/freelancebook.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I am filled with sass.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZaFV9YoYlW_5EzaOjvjZsQ55s-yfOyrtoQIb8JdXCXp6LQDf315Ld1D_fMbm6sb8zT9yJFQoLe27-C81rZPQmfmMyhUUT5exnTQaJDAhmDBpHrF1TTDGmp6DD5M2RFH5DJ6ezpLZlNdU/s1920/01-18-21_9-49-28%25C2%25A0AM.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="1920" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZaFV9YoYlW_5EzaOjvjZsQ55s-yfOyrtoQIb8JdXCXp6LQDf315Ld1D_fMbm6sb8zT9yJFQoLe27-C81rZPQmfmMyhUUT5exnTQaJDAhmDBpHrF1TTDGmp6DD5M2RFH5DJ6ezpLZlNdU/w400-h209/01-18-21_9-49-28%25C2%25A0AM.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This scene is really familiar.

</tbody></table>
Once her fun need is full, I head off to the library so I can write the term paper for one of my classes.<br />
<br />
I write and edit it until it's 'Outstanding', and then submit it. EXCELLENT.<br />
<br />
I also get started on the presentation board to work on said presentation for another class. I 'refine and organize' it until class starts.<br />
<br />
Between classes, I once more work on homework.<br />
<br />
When classes are over, I watch some TV until my fun need is full then work on my presentation, since two of my classes end after tomorrow and one of them needs the presentation.<br />
<br />
When it's as good as it's gonna get, I go back to working on homework.<br />
<br />
When I'm done with THAT, I ask for feedback on my presentation from the person I autonomously introduced myself to 'flirtily'. And then, of course, I practice.<br />
<br />
When that's all done, my fun need's low again so I go ahead and watch some TV until my 8 AM class.<br />
<br />
In between classes, I present the final presentation board. Then it's on to my next class. Since it's the end of term, I don't have any more homework, so... now can I just chill!<br />
<br />
Of course, by 'chilling' I mean 'level up my research and debate skill'. I have to get it to level three for the first aspiration of my University ambition, after all.<br />
<br />
The term ends and I get A+ in every class! I sign up right away for the next term and reach level 3 research and debate.<br />
<br />
I also cheat to make free build happen because holy moly these dorms suck and I want better ones.<br />

<br />
Much better! Once fixed, I fill my fun need by watching comedy. And when my fun need is full, I get a head start on my presentation. Dude, I have SO MUCH TIME. xD<br />
<br />
I get to level nine charisma while doing the presentation. I practice presenting it once, then do my term paper.<br />
<br />
After my term paper has been edited to hell, I do my homework. Cassidy reaches level four research and debate skill (nice) and ends up playing some Juice Pong to up her fun need when she has just one class left to do homework on.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, by the time Sunday comes, I'm done with homework AND the term paper. Which is perfect, because since I got nominated for a Starlight Accolade from a song I licensed I'll need to be there!<br />
<br />
I go ahead and level my research and debate skill to five while I'm waiting for the Starlight Accolades to happen.<br />
<br />
New Skill Day starts, too. Which... leveling achieves. Nice! I also reach level six before I'm done levelling.<br />
<br />
At about 2 PM, I head over to Studio PBP. Might as well be early for the accolades and all.<br />
<br />
I sing a song in the microphone, cuz why not? There's not all that much to do at PBP...<br />
<br />
Oh hey, there's a TV, let's watch that. And, finally - the accolades begin! I psych myself up and then change into formal wear.<br />

I WIN AN ACCOLADE FOR A BOOK. but, wait, I thought I was nominated for a song...? Whatever, I'll take it.<br />
<br />
The accolades end, and I head home. I do a little bit of studying for my classes.<br />
<br />
When 8 AM hits, I go ahead and turn in my presentation. DONE. Now all I have to worry about is studying for the other two classes for their final exams.<br />
<br />
My fun need is pretty low, so I come back and play some video games until my class starts.<br />
<br />
There's no time to study or do homework in between classes, but I get started on homework right after.<br />
<br />
At five, I attend a guest lecture since I have to do three for this stage of the ambition. After the lecture, it's back to homework.<br />
<br />
Someone put an easel in the dorms, so I go ahead and paint on it to fulfill a whim.<br />
<br />

<br />
I didn't put that there. The person who made the dorm remodel didn't put that there. A random sim put it there.<br />
<br />
IN THE PERFECT SPOT.<br />
<br />
How, the world may never know.<br />

<br />
After, I play some Ping-Pong.<br />
<br />
I lose 3 to 2, so not bad. Absolutely could be better, but whatever, Cassidy had fun.<br />
<br />
7 AM comes and I am off to my 8 AM class. Ha, so early.<br />
<br />
After class, there's a water balloon bucket outside, so I fill it with water balloons and have a fight.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Clearly Cassidy is having fun.<br />
<br />
After the fight, it is time for my second class. When that class ends... I head into a guest lecture.<br />
<br />
After the guest lecture, it's homework time.<br />
<br />
During my homework, I head over to the local bar to check out some art society shenanigans... and possibly join.<br />
<br />
I introduce myself to a member, hoping to figure out how to get in the society. It's easy enough, and after asking the member to join - I've joined! Woo. Now to finish my homework.<br />
<br />
Once the event is over, I head home. I gotta try and level up in the organization before I graduate, after all.<br />
<br />
I complete a realism painting. All that's left is taking five photos on this task list, so...<br />

Voila.</div>
<br />
I work on writing a song then, hoping to license it for some sweet sweet cash.<br />
<br />
Some of the nonsense words remind me of "zippity-doo-dah, zippity-dee-ay, my oh my what a wonderful day"... you know, that song, so I call it "Zippity Doo Dah".<br />
<br />
My two classes happen, then I work on homework.<br />
<br />
I license a couple of songs, clean up around the dorms, and read a random book ('read something' interaction).<br />
<br />
By the time 8 AM rolls around, Cassidy is ready to head to class plus some.<br />
<br />
And now for the long break between classes. Wheee.<br />
<br />
I decide to compose a short comedy routine on the computer. Class happens while I'm working on it, so I just finish after class.<br />
<br />
Once that's all done, I attend a guest lecture and thus attend the three I need to for this stage of my ambition. Sweet.<br />
<br />
I then study for the two classes I have tomorrow since I'll be taking the final.<br />
<br />
I start performing art society tasks as well. I head to a museum to view works of art first. Plumbob Pictures in Del Sol Valley seems like the perfect spot.<br />
<br />
I view the three paintings I need to, then head home to paint a surrealism painting.<br />

<br />
I have internalized it, hated it, fought with it the entire time. Every year, for <i>years</i>, my New Year's Resolution was to lose weight.<br />
<br />
I tried diets from Weight Watchers when I was <i>ten years old</i> to different ones when I was older: cutting out meat, depriving myself of bread and sweets only to pig out in them a month or two later when I couldn't <i>stand</i> it anymore. I've gone to nutritionists and health classes over and over again. I've tried fruits and vegetables that I didn't like, tried healthy foods over and over again. I learned to cook in hopes of <i>cooking healthy food</i>.<br />
<br />
I look back at my child self and I see someone round and big and <i>fat</i> surrounded by skinny-legged peers, by people who are points and angles when I am a mammoth. I see myself as someone tall, towering over the rest and <i>never quite fitting in</i>.<br />
<br />
(It all comes back to that one issue, doesn't it? I know who I am and I refused to bend so I <i>cried</i> until I started biting myself because that was the only way to make it quiet. I have always walked to the beat of my own drum and it is so, so hard to see it for the blessing it is and to appreciate my sense of self as <i>always a little off.</i>)<br />
<br />
My mom says I was never that much overweight. Ten pounds, maybe twenty. Round, fluffy, soft. I say it was fifty, one hundred, one-fifty, because I remember being fifty pounds away from my goal weight in Weight Watchers. Except, no - memory has twisted it. I was <i>fifteen</i> pounds away from my goal weight when we stopped; I only ever had <i>fifty</i> to lose. I try to look at myself like a stranger, take away my biases.<br />
<br />
If it was someone who <i>is not me</i>, I would not be this cruel to myself. I would see that I was adorable, that I was fluffy moreso than fat, that chubby isn't that bad as long as I'm healthy.<br />
<br />
I was a chubby kid. I didn't have the double chin that I carry now, or a butt that I can feel the wrinkles on. I used to have no stretch marks, and then small ones. I started gaining some weight when I was 12, but it wasn't until high school that I really started <i>ballooning</i>. Looking at myself, as a child - I ate vegetables, I've always enjoyed them, and I was far more active than I am now even as a voracious reader and someone who chose the computer above almost everything else.<br />
<br />
Now I stagnate. I try brief attempts - a week, two, a month - at weight loss with diet and excersize and always fall back into old habits. Ice cream, chocolate; the absolute food <i>explosion</i> that comes at the end of the year starting in October and not ending until early January, spiking up around Valentine's Day and Easter once more.<br />
<br />
But I was so different from my peers. Everyone was skinnier than me; I was the one fat kid in the ocean of 'average'. Even the rounder, softer people I knew didn't make me feel less fat, and there were times when I couldn't stand looking at myself in group pictures, even ones for my favorite birthdays.<br />
<br />
I still can't stand looking at myself in group pictures. But sometimes I get dress up and I practice poses and I take selfies. Here, there - I can see the double chin, the wideness, the roundness, but I can also see my enchanting eyes and my gorgeous hair and the so-much-of-me that is beautiful.<br />
<br />
Beautiful despite being fat. Beautiful, unattached to any other word, but conditioned to believe that the beauty is hiding away if I could <i>just lose the weight</i>.<br />
<br />
And that fear, that horrible fear as if I am standing in a spotlight and the whole world is staring at me: even when I am ten, fifteen, twenty pounds overweight, I will still be considered fat. I will still be too-round and too-big. I will be a mammoth amongst people who are <i>normal, average, whatever else</i>. That even being healthy - because being slightly overweight is <i>not bad</i> - I will still stand out.<br />
<br />
Because chances are I will always be a little bit chubby. Chances are I will always be soft and round and carry fat. It's the story of my family - overweight, fat, and even the skinnier ones aren't pencil-thin and pointed elbows. That's okay. Sturdiness is good, too, and when it's sturdiness built out of muscle and health then that's especially good.<br />
<br />
But I had it pounded into me, as year after year I set goals to lose weight. As kids said "<i>your new year's resolution isn't going so well, huh?"</i> and "<i>guess you'll just be fat forever</i>" and "<i>you're too fat to do this</i>". As I watched other kids being able to be lifted by friends, screaming and squealing; as I took dance classes and ended up, in high school, not being able to do the same jumps as others; as I panicked at a group trust fall that I wouldn't be able to be caught despite the fact there were ten people gathered around to catch me, and adults that said, <i>yes, it is fine</i>; as being <i>out of shape</i> and being <i>fat</i> became one and the same so that as long as I perceive myself as fat I will never be capable.<br />
<br />
In my worst moments, I have wished for an eating disorder. Anorexia, bulimia - anything. I have attempted and failed to make myself throw up food because it's all just calories. I have gone full days without eating and lamented my lack of willpower when I finally gave in.<br />
<br />
Being fat has become as much a part of me as being a writer, in some ways. Even when I lose weight I will still see myself as <i>fat</i>, still see myself with a double-chin, a triple-chin, a <i>turkey gobbler</i>; still see my butt as too big, something that is too obvious and ill-placed, as bigger than it is in reality; still see my thighs as having too much fat.<br />
<br />
So in the end, love has to come when I am fat. I have to love myself for who I am with a round belly and too many places that jiggle and that cursed double-chin. I have to find ways to say "I am beautiful" and then say "I am beautiful <i>and fat</i>, and I am beautiful <i>RIGHT NOW</i>. Not in spite of or because of or for being fat, but as two things that co-exist." I have to recognize my inner beauty AND my outer beauty and refuse to allow myself to hate myself for being fat.<br />
<br />
Because if I hate myself, I punish myself. And if I punish myself, I stay fat.<br />
<br />
And more than that - I have to learn to lose weight for health. Because if I lose weight <i>to be pretty</i> or <i>to fit in</i> then I will lose weight until I am underweight and unhealthy and have a very different but no less dangerous problem. I have to learn when my body is content, when my body is okay, when my organs <i>aren't</i> choked by fat deposits even if I still have a little bit extra.<br />
<br />
I have to love myself. And I have to love myself as I am, as I have been, and as I will be.<br />
<br />
Because as every fat person knows: the shame people place upon you <i>does not help</i>. It breaks you. It hurts you. It causes anorexia and bulimia where you don't actually lose weight because your body is made a certain way, and if you don't eat healthily and take care of yourself <i>you cannot be healthy, you cannot lose weight</i>.<br />
<br />
So.<br />
<br />
Loving myself.<br />
<br />
I will find it, someday. And whether I am fat or thin, I will love myself through it.Kunabeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16531836509218358692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914453204692050369.post-63267562333209748192020-01-25T19:32:00.005-08:002021-01-23T10:10:58.932-08:00Sims 4 Playthrough: University Part OneWhen we last left off, Cassidy had become the pinnacle of fame. She went ahead and did one last acting gig (that I didn't type about) and did some skill-building. On Monday, Roger Barajas - a scientist - ended up dying. He was one of the three I fought the Mother with, so this is... sad. Cassidy ends up becoming 'very sad' from it and gets the Emotion Bomb quirk. I also painted a masterpiece on Tuesday and got my skill in singing to level nine so I can now license lyrics and leveled my painting skill to level nine as well. That's it for things of note.<br />
<br />
Time to apply... to University! I send out three scholarships (Glimmerbrook Resident, cooking skills, future star) and then my 75 simoleon application. Now... to wait.<br />
<br />
Someone invites me to a party at the bluffs, so I head out.<br />

Dancing gets me a whole group watching me. Spoopy.<br />

I also light off some fireworks since I still have those. During the fireworks opening, I get the "fan" mail quirk. How... delightful.<br />

Despite being burnt and having stink lines, paparazzi still want pictures of me so I pose. Okay then.<br />
<br />
When the party ends I leave, changing into clean clothes. Then I take Dusty on a walk, fulfilling a whim and giving the boy some attention.<br />
<br />
Josephina Rojas shows up after I paint, tend to my bees, and garden some, so I go ahead and invite her inside to do some socializing.<br />
<br />
Also, as a note: My famous sim, since level three, kept 'react with disgust' to EVERYTHING. It's a fame thing, it's an Issue. There are some mods out there for it, none of them updated. So I risked this save - that I would be miserable to lose - to test one: Coolspear on the Sims Asylum has the best ones, and I now have 'no bah humbug after fan interactions' (hugging, autographs, etc) and 'no react in digust'. They work and my save is undamaged.<br />
<br />
She leaves after some brief socials, so I do more bee care (applying a mite treatment) and get honey. It's all excellent quality, and I just sell it because I'm lame and also want money. The log and dirt clump have respawned, so I get stuff from that (an eggplant frog and<br />

That reminds me... new DLC, new outfits. I change clothes. I have a whim to do laundry when I get back, so... I do.<br />

While that's going on, I write lyrics to an 'Epic Ballad' on the guitar. Which reminds me that I need to buy and place a piano...<br />

<br />
After I finish writing the songs, I feed Dusty, tend to my bees, and then garden. I max out the skill... and hire a gardener. Because, uh, yeah.<br />
<br />
Love Day also starts, but like... I don't want to get Cassidy romantically involved with anyone yet. I end up loving on Dusty enough to fulfill 'Romantic Spirit' so... that's cool.<br />
<br />
I also craft another garden planter on the woodworking station, so I have enough space to grow some more flowers.<br />
<br />
I am enjoying having two spawns right behind my house, because I look for yet another frog (surfer leaf) and dig once more.<br />
<br />
I win all of my three scholarships, and get a University acceptance letter. It's Time to head out!<br />
<br />
I head to Britechester, choosing Language&Literature and taking four classes this semester. Four total terms and I'll get the degree - and then I think I'm going to try out a science degree at Foxbury. Might as well be well-rounded, right?<br />
<br />
However, I run into a problem: since Dusty is at home, I can't move out! Let's... table my University dreams, and see about getting a roommate to live with me so I can go and live on campus.<br />

<br />The room is, essentially, a tiny home... aaanndd I forgot to wallpaper it. RIP.<br />
<br />
I prune the bonsai I bought to fulfill a wish and gain the flower-arranging skill. So much for saving it for new skill day :P<br />
<br />
I get the urge to produce a new track on the music mixer, so I do. Dusty... does not like the music mixer. Poor puppy.<br />
<br />
I calm him down and then go and take him on a walk. I also finally get around to buying the 'Needs No One' trait, meaning the only need I have to worry about now is my fun need. Nice.<br />
<br />
After I make a couple of paintings (including a mathematical diagram I keep), I bathe Dusty. I'm really just waiting for someone to respond to the roommate advertisement.<br />

I'm gardening when I'm startled by a RANDOM PERSON IN MY HOUSE.<br />

But, turns out, this is my future roommate! Cool beans.<br />
<br />
After doing some Talk Like a Pirate Day interactions with her and getting us on good terms, I accept her as my new roommate.<br />
<br />
I try out one flower arrangement, and then once more attempt to head to college.<br />
<br />
...Nope, still no dice. So, with that being said... I go ahead and ask Samantha to join the household. Why not, right?<br />

At last, FINALLY, I am off to University!<br />

<br />
Here we go (:<br />
<br />
I have zero simoleons because for some reason it wouldn't let me transfer any over, so off I go to earn some money. I also didn't even have to pay 200 out of pocket because of my qualifications and scholarships, so that was nice.<br />
<br />
I head out to the quad to practice guitar for tips.<br />
<br />
After a couple of hours of this, I give up and switch gears and go to UBrite Commons.<br />
<br />
I go ahead and practice singing on the microphone, once more hoping for tips.<br />
<br />
After I get over a hundred simoleons, I decide to work on my homework so I can be all prepped for classes on Monday.<br />
<br />
It turns out to be a terrible idea because of how busy and crazy it is, so I head back to the dorms so I can actually get to work.<br />
<br />
Summer starts while I start on the third class's homework. Woo, summer. Also, she uses a different, random desk every time instead of the desk that should be 'hers'. Maxis, allow us to assign Sims to desks plox.<br />
<br />
I also get my royalties, so I actually have a decent amount of money.<br />
<br />
After doing all my homework, my fun need is super low, so... time to go to the bar, maybe? Let's go have some fun! I also leveled up my writing skill to level nine. :)<br />
<br />
Before I leave, I buy a bicycle and a 700 simoleon course book. uuughh. Maybe be a little LESS realistic, Sims.<br />
<br />
I go ahead and dance the Rumbasim there. Wish I brought a boombox so I could dance in my dorm :P<br />

<br />
Once I fill my fun need, I head back to the dorm.<br />
<br />
Back there, the statue's been covered in TP, so I take it down. I then practice singing for more tips. I get zero tips, but max my singing level so that's pretty legit. I switch to practicing guitar. There are very few people around because it's past midnight in the Sims, but maybe I'll get some tips anyway. We'll see.<br />
<br />
I max out my guitar skill and stop playing guitar. Now to figure out what to do from 4:30 AM until 11, when my class starts...<br />
<br />
I decide to study for The Write Expectations - my first class - with my coursebook, and a fan comes and asks me for an autograph during (which of course I do). At ten, I kill the studying and see if I can't go to class early - nope, no can do. Time to wait...<br />
<br />
When done, I get a head start on the homework for that class until the next class starts.<br />
<br />
I go to class, my fun is WRECKED, so I drink a fun celebuserum and go back to doing homework. Yaaay. .-. Homework brings me to charisma level eight, and then I'm upset because the serum wore off.<br />
<br />
I upload a viral video on the one computer in the dorms, then go ahead and play some Blicbloc. After blicbloc, I study for my classes of today. After studying, I'm off to class. In between, I do homework... and after, more homework.<br />
<br />
My fun need is low, so let's head back to the dorms and watch some TV.<br />
<br />
And this is where I end this part, because it's gotten a bit long.<div><br /></div><div><a href="https://kunabee.blogspot.com/2020/07/sims-4-playthrough-university-part-two.html">Part Two</a><br /></div>Kunabeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16531836509218358692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914453204692050369.post-71463716936210891662020-01-24T00:05:00.000-08:002020-01-25T19:33:16.441-08:00Sims 4 Playthrough: Get Famous Part 4I ended on my new house, but I forgot to mention: I used 'Quirky Family Shell' by Peanut1330 from the gallery for the base and then HEAVILY edited it, and I gave the house the lot traits of 'Celebrity Home' (I'm a celebrity!), 'Home Studio', and 'Great Acoustics'.<br />
<div>

<div>
I start off by looking for frogs in a log behind the house and grabbing some stones from a rock. I get a striped dart frog and throw it in the house, then take care of my garden and order a packet of uncommon plants. I get three lilies from it and plant two of them.</div>

The welcome wagon for Glimmerbrook arrives. Remembering my mistake back in Sulani, I go ahead and let everyone inside.</div>

Work starts in the middle of the welcome wagon, and so... we're off!</div>

After steering the wheel, doing a sword fight, flirting, and finally performing a vampire bite scene, I'm done with gold. I also did all of the risky versions and leveled up to acting level three. (:</div>

<div>
I introduce myself to my costars with my remaining time, though I'm pretty sure I could leave early. When it ends, I have 1300 more simoleons to my name and have earned a promotion. :D My next gig is Critters from Mauven Forest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I start by practicing the guitar, and then I have to get into a playful mood and do funny interactions with people to 'research playful emotion'. Hmm. When I'm done with the guitar, I'm level nine and I fulfill a whim to upgrade a dryer. Done. I license the song I wrote for the guitar... now to just get singing to level nine. Licensing the song gets me to level five celebrityhood, which means all that I need to do now is get people to have positive responses to my cheers.</div>

Holy moly.</div>

With my three fame points, I get 'Star Treatment' and 'Easy Street' (these feel so... cheat-y), then 'PR Agency' because nothing else really seems all that interesting.</div>

Once I make the furniture things and love on Dusty, I watch the comedy channel to try and get that playful mood.</div>

My confident moodlet from woodworking is Too Powerful, so I go ahead and take a bubble bath as well to try and boost the playfulness further.</div>

I take Dusty to Ward Park in Del Sol Valley to do my tile ceremony on Starlight Boulevard. My timing is poor, however... I'm going to miss Mua Pel'am's turtle hatching ceremony. Aaahh... oh well, I guess.</div>

I incite some cheers, because you know, gotta finish that ambition yo. After getting 23/25 positive responses, I go and do some playful interactions with Reiko (since she showed up) in an attempt to complete my work tasks. In the process, I level to comedy five.</div>

<div>
I do two more 'incite cheers' and... complete my ambition! HALLELUJAH. I become a 'fan favorite' with my extra perk.</div>

Since I've completed my aspiration, I select a new one: 'Academic'.</div>

<br />
I then buy the 'forever fresh' trait, meaning only the fun and social needs decay for me now. I'm so close I can taste it. To what? I don't know, convenience?<br />
<br />
Prank day pops up and I invite someone over so I can get into some mischief. I reach level two and complete the goals for the day. Then I chat some with the person I invited. Woo.<br />
<br />
Someone invites themselves over so I chat with them when Brittany leaves, fulfilling some whims while I hang out and all of that.<br />
<br />
You know... going someplace might be a good idea. Boost my fame some, incite cheers, sign autographs...<br />
<br />
Once the uninvited guest leaves, I head off to San Myushuno and the Waterside Warble. Karaoke!<br />
<br />

<br />
I incite some cheers, sing some songs... to be honest, I'm having a <i>blast</i>. I sign some autographs, then a karaoke contest starts, so OF COURSE I participate.<br />
<br />
I end up scoring 85/100 points. Meh.<br />
<br />
I order a 'sea of fire' from the bar and then try inciting some more cheers. I win the karaoke contest, which. Yay!<br />
<br />
I sing a duet with someone I know a little bit, getting myself some fame in the process. By the time prank day ends, I have 13/25 positive responses from inciting cheers.<br />
<br />
I head on over to Del Sol Valley again, hanging out Studio PBP. I bring Dusty, cuz why not? They can't stop me, I have four stars of fame!<br />
<br />
Before entering, I ask Dusty to go potty and then take a long walk. Finally, I hang out on Starlight Boulevard (or whatever it's called) and play some songs on my guitar.<br />
<br />
I get a whim to earn fifty simoleons in tips, so I just start practicing it. Once I reach fifty I stop and head back home after doing one last 'incite cheer'.<br />
<br />
At home, I take care of my bees and do some gardening. Someone calls me to make a donation to charity, so I do. I take care of Dusty, and end up teaching him not to jump on counters. Yay!<br />
<br />
La'ei invites me to the Humor and Hijinks Festival, so I head on over.<br />
<br />
After a moment of debate, I decide to join the pranksters so I can work on my mischief skill. In general, I lean towards more harmless pranks. Pranksters win, so I get a voodoo doll, some fireworks, and 500 simoleons. As a bonus, I got my mischief skill from level two to level five.<br />
<br />
I light my fireworks off to complete the wish for the outing and thus have a successful one. Yay (:<br />

Once the festival's over, I fulfill a couple of whims and then busk at the little station that's set up where I'm at. All of the Humor and Hijinks festival stuff is gone, of course.<br />
<br />
However, the busking station soon disappears. So after only a short time, new things are up... including a floor mural. I decide to paint a cultural mural on it, and enlist the help of the individual who invited me to the festival in the first place. (That is, 'Paint Cultural Mural Together')<br />
<br />
She ends up leaving to go to the bathroom or whatever else, but slowly the mural takes shape. Honestly, Sims can have some cool things.<br />

HELL yes. Now to just max out my career... I've given up on finding mermaids lol. But when I max out my career, I can work a different job :P<br />
<br />
Reiko invites me to her birthday party while I'm authenticating an artifact, but I don't want to miss her party, so I head on over.<br />
<br />
...particularly since, apparently, her party takes place at MY house. Okay then.<br />
<br />
She doesn't like my gift of a firework (rude) so I try giving her a bunch of simoleons instead. THAT, she is much happier about.<br />

I show off some of Dusty's tricks too.<br />

</tbody></table>
When the party's all done and Reiko's aged to elder, I research some of the plants in my garden, just to have something to do with my time.<br />
<br />
By the end of it, work's started. I head to work. When I get back home, I check my mail and then go ahead and do the 'survey ocean wildlife' task. I also buy a lottery ticket, since today is the lottery, apparently.<br />
<br />
I also get my final promotion! I'm going to go to work just one more day, then quit my job and focus on selling various things for my money. Right now, I want to finish my current aspiration before I get a new one for UNIVERSITY and explore that.<br />
<br />
Dusty is getting dirty, so when I get back I give him a bath. I then upgrade the tub to be self-cleaning, cuz why not?<br />
<br />
When I finish upgrading the tub, I upgrade the toilet too. Note to self: bring tub and toilet WITH me when I next move. When the toilet's upgraded, it's off to work.<br />
<br />
Once I get home... I quit my job. Sweet freedom! I do some gardening, take care of my bees, and then research plants and up my gardening skill to level nine. Woohoo.<br />
<br />
I turn to painting once more, upping my painting skill, getting some fame, AND earning money in the process.<br />
<br />
Since I AM working on fame, I decide to actually rejoin a career - this time, as an actress. My gigs will pay higher since I'm already a little bit famous, AND I should progress pretty fast in the career in general.<br />
<br />
I join the Everyday Extras talent agency and immediately look for a gig. I sign up for Dead Sea Adventures right away, hoping to get on the higher price end, and then decide to head on over to a gym to boost my fitness skill by working out, since that's a job task.<br />

Being famous, I acquire a crowd just by working out. In the yoga room, I practice acting... and also switch out the fake mats for real ones since I have Spa Day.<br />

When I finish that task, I try inciting some cheers. I get a couple of positive responses, bringing me to 16/25 cheers. Nine left!<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I practice some singing to get myself some fame. Why not, right? A yoga class starts, and I decide to join, thus unlocking the wellness skill. Woo. After the yoga class, I hang out in the lobby and practice guitar because I can.<br />
<br />
Once I reach level eight guitar skill, I switch to practicing singing so I can reach level eight there, too. With both guitar and singing at level eight, I can start writing songs, so I decide to compose a song on the guitar.<br />
<br />
In the middle of that, I get invited to the spice festival and so I head out to check it out. I harvest the plants at the festival and then buy some ingredients to fulfill my goal for the outing.<br />
<br />
Then, knowing I'll fail, I enter the curry competition. Despite my low skill, I somehow manage to eat the curry. Nice!<br />
<br />
I drink a celebuserum before hanging out in the karaoke bar and doing some karaoke. It's raining out there, dangit!<br />
<br />
Afterwards I head home and continue writing the song on my guitar. I had a small glitch with it, but apparently just... taking the guitar out of my inventory and writing songs from there works. Still. Annoying.<br />
<br />
Aaandd it turns out I can't license my songs until level nine, rip me. Duly noted. Once I write the song, I authenticate an artifact and feed Dusty, then take the pup on a walk.<br />
<br />
I am feeling the urge to move. So... I store the things I want to keep, sell the things I don't, bulldoze the lot... and move on out.<br />
<br />
I move to Glimmerbrook Watch in... I'm sure you know where. I take full advantage of basements, this go-round... particularly because the lot is smaller AND I want to keep the trees.<br />
<br />
I ended up not keeping the trees, and... accidentally ended up deleting ALL of my collectibles. I'm upset about that, but... hey, the house looks nice, and now that I'm not collecting things I don't need a basement.<br />

You might remember the fact I fought the mother plant with her - although I'm pretty sure she was a young adult, just like Cassidy still is, at the time.<br />

<br />
Brittany leaves, but I keep playing by myself for a little while longer.<br />
<br />
My bills get delivered, and I pay all 8,000 simoleons of them. Yargh. It's all the artifacts I keep holding onto... the dangers of collecting, I s'pose. In the meantime, I max my logic skill. Heck yeah!<br />
<br />
With that, I head home. Time to take care of Dusty and then do... whatever else, I guess.<br />
<br />
Apparently, there's a famous celebrity at the lounge - Orchid A-Go Go - so that's where I go. I perform the comedy routine I've got written - fame! - and then hang out.<br />
<br />
I get a really creepy message from Roger Barajas...<br />

I then chat with the person who invited me. She leaves before I can ask her if she's a mermaid. RIP.<br />

I sing a song with an overwhelmingly positive reaction. I want fans to ask me for pictures please. Aaaa.<br />

When I finish writing it, I go ahead and perform it.<br />

I get a call to make a generous donation to charity, and OF COURSE I do so.<br />
<br />
I drink another energy celebruserum - again, just to GET RID OF IT - and wait for someone - anyone - to ask for a selfie with me....<br />
<br />
I level up my acting skill, because apparently I can practice acting at the microphone. Sweet. At level two, I stop practicing.<br />
<br />
The trash can outside has been knocked over, so I scavenge for parts in the trash and then pick up everything. Why not, right? I go back inside (it's raining like crazy) and play a song on the guitar. Someone ask me for a selfie. Please.<br />
<br />
While waiting, GeekCon starts and I get invited. Let's do it, why not?<br />

Someone asks me for a selfie, and then, JUST before GeekCon ends... I use the rocket ship.</div>

I head home now, planning to take a shower. I really need the Forever Fresh trait, but it's 8,000 points and I only have 5,000. RIP me.</div>

I take the shower, love on Dusty, and jam on the guitar to fulfill a whim. Then I do a figure painting on the easel just cuz.</div>

Winterfest is here! When it gets closer to 8, I'm gonna start up a party and cook a Grand Meal for people. So much fun~</div>
<div>

<div>
I walk and then bathe Dusty, making sure he's all taken care of. I do some gardening as well. At about 3, I start the party and then start making the meal. I host a dinner party, which is usually goaled, but there's no goals during the holiday. Which - thank. goodness.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since I'm in Sulani, I go ahead and make a fish dinner. Om nom. Father Winter arrives just before the party ends, and I get my present. Then... everyone says goodbye as it ends, leaving me to clean up alone. RIP.</div>

<div>
Winterfest ends at 2 AM with a resounding success! I take a shower, because I'm dirty now - after, of course, feeding Dusty.</div>
<div>

<div>
I authenticate an artifact sent to me from the museum for the money and the fame. Father Winter gifted me a new fridge, so I give the old one to a fan cuz <i>why not, right?</i></div>

<div>
I drink a fun celebuserum since my fun need is getting low, then update my social media stuff. Gotta boost that fame, yo.</div>

I then just talk to plants, trying DESPERATELY to level up my gardening skill. I wanna max it, dangit! I make it to the next level, level eight, and call that good for today xD I play with Dusty some more, and then I'm off to work.</div>

I sign up to perform, just playing the guitar. And then since I don't have to get off the stage, I sing a song on the microphone, Because I Can.</div>

<div>
All that done, I head back home. I didn't actually succeed at surveying ocean wildlife - possibly because it was raining crazily - so let's go do that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
(As a side note, I did so well at karaoke I got a 'songbird deluxe' moodlet. Which. <i>Nice</i>.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It fails AGAIN, but my work task is completed so I go ahead and move on with my life. I paint, in hopes to sell the painting for both fame and money.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dusty ends up being sick, so I rush off to see the vet and hope that I get holiday pay for New Year's Eve.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I mop while I wait, and get Dusty the most expensive treatment. I love my dog, dangit! Once cured, I head back home and get ready to throw a late night New Year's party.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decorate and make a resolution (to complete an aspiration milestone, which I am SO CLOSE to doing), and then decide to chill until about 8 o'clock when I'll get the party started.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I do some gardening and then paint, trying to get my fame up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I get my mail, authenticate an artifact for the museum (or whatever), give said artifact back for fame and money, drink and inspired celebuserum, and then paint some more.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I complete my resolution and level up my ambition. HELL yes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, I need to:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Sign three autographs</li>
<li>Get 25 positive responses from inciting cheers</li>
<li>and become a five-star celebrity</li>
</ul>
<div>
I'm hyped, honestly.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I try out the 'shoot nature documentary' I have for Cassidy. When I get back, I invite people over so we can celebrate the new year properly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
New Year's Eve ends up being disappointing, but I try my best. And then I try to take a shower.</div>
<div>

I buy the 'forever full' trait and thus - never have to eat again. I have 4k points left, but... well, forever fresh costs 8k, and so that's what I'm going to buy next.<br />
<br />
If you couldn't tell by the title, I decide to play with Get Famous. That is - work on my celebrity cred.<br />
<br />
I'm almost to a level 3 celebrity, so why not go all in and try out all that the pack has to offer?<br />
<br />
Immediately I complete the first level of it, since I already have not just one but TWO fame perks. And now it's time to boost my fame.<br />
<br />
First thing is first - publish the book I wrote. Then, it's the holiday New Skill Day, so I decide to go out and practice guitar wherever so I can boost that skill AND my fame. I take Dusty with me because he's my puppy and this way, other people can pet him and give him treats.<br />
<br />
Before I leave, I make sure my needs are full. Then, I head to Del Sol Valley (since I'm using that pack) and Ward Park. Now it's Guitar Time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCPQGdC-261zAWmO1OkQ4AhFl4dPf5R5OE2c_LzkKpEtRSjTiSzM-iRjc_6vY0TqYukrYYtpYcCKCSc-vp8AKzvBDSrI_77JMjpOFQuxaG2ZHZlWQ9gukNPe67mBvynoQ9nfSppwMPKw/s1600/09-13-19_9-17-33%25C2%25A0PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="837" data-original-width="1600" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCPQGdC-261zAWmO1OkQ4AhFl4dPf5R5OE2c_LzkKpEtRSjTiSzM-iRjc_6vY0TqYukrYYtpYcCKCSc-vp8AKzvBDSrI_77JMjpOFQuxaG2ZHZlWQ9gukNPe67mBvynoQ9nfSppwMPKw/s400/09-13-19_9-17-33%25C2%25A0PM.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I level both my guitar and singing skills to level seven, and call that good. I take Dusty on a long walk around Del Sol and then head home.<br />
<br />
At home, I do a little bit of gardening, and then resume figuring out what artifacts are and if they're authentic and aaalll that stuff.<br />
<br />
For the artifacts that aren't in dirt clumps, I figure out for a fee of 25 simoleons and a boost to my fame I can send them off to get authenticated, so I do that.<br />
<br />
I donate one or two of the things I've authenticated myself to the museum and sell the rest - that is, unless I don't have it already in my collection. This boosts me to a three-star celebrity.<br />
<br />
For some reason, New Skill Day ends with it being awful despite me having improved my guitar and singing skills. Humph.<br />
<br />
Since this IS the "Get Famous" portion of my playthrough, I suppose I should share what perks I've chosen:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Noticeable</li>
<li>CelebuSerum</li>
<li>Established Name</li>
<li>Giving Back (from my "pristine" reputation)</li>
</ul>
<div>
With all my artifacts authenticated (or sent off for authentication), I allow artifacts to be sent to me so I can authenticate them and get fame and money for it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With 50,000 simoleons to my name, I think it's about time I upgraded my house.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm terrible at building and decorating, but... I think it's okay? Maybe? Meh. I can always modify it later :P</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With the updated house, I decide to host a celebrity meet and greet. Why not, right?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decide to host it at a pool, at the one option of a pool given to me. Someone fans out so hard while I'm socializing that they faint.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once I complete all the goals, I start swimming, because we're at a POOL, that's what you're SUPPOSED to do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Predictably, I get the gold award and thus complete that task. I decide to do the final thing - visit a celebrity hotspot. I take Dusty with me, because dogs should be allowed everywhere.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I choose to go to Studio PBP. The next level of the ambition is unlocked - four star celebrity, deal with paparazzi three times, and be asked for a selfie three times. Cool, cool. I go and sing three songs on the microphone inside to show off in front of the other celebrities inside (all more famous than me). Then, I try socializin'.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I manage to introduce myself to Brytani Cho, and start putting in effort to befriend her. She introduced herself to my dog, so of course I prioritize her. I can't do much, but I ask about her interests and then for an autograph before I head home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I realize that I have not yet updated my outfits for the Get Famous portion, and so I do that. Afterward, I go ahead and give Dusty a bath and take a shower myself.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I drink a celebuserum and then I go ahead and paint, to boost both the skill and my fame. I also go ahead and buy myself a violin to work on that skill - later, perhaps in a year when there's another New Skill Day :P</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My painting ends up being a masterpiece. I quickly go and "survey ocean wildlife" for my job - I can't believe I forgot!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I do some gardening before it's off to work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After work, I get the mail, pay my bills, and then teach Dusty how to play dead and to shake, thus maxing out my pet training skill at five AND teaching him All Of The Tricks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I paint and put it on my rather empty walls before writing a conservation article, then peeing and cleaning the toilet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I pet and love on Dusty, and then paint an Impressionist painting to fulfill a whim. I sell it to a collector, and while I'm still inspired I decide to write a travel guide. I... forgot to take a screenshot of it before I continued. :(</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since I'm in the middle of writing, I decide to work from home today.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I take the three samples of ocean I need to and feed and care for Dusty and myself, and then attempt to survey ocean wildlife and not have it check off my work requirement not once, not twice, not even three times, but five fucking times - some in a row, some after waiting a bit. I close and restart the Sims game...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After another two times of it not working, it starts raining so hard I can't do ANYTHING inside and my Sim is forced to run home. Of course, my new shift starts. I take PTO so I can take care of Dusty and do other things without having to worry about another glitched out episode like I just experienced. ARGH.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lessen learned, work from home's messed up. I pick this up after last touching it in October - hi, it's January now. I have Discover University to do, too, now.<br />
<br />
I hop in and give my bees a mite treatment before doing some bonding.<br />

After that, I go for a jog with Dusty.<br />
<br />
I try out the new 'figure painting' that pops up on the Easel, and go ahead and sell that painting to get more of that delicious, delicious fame.<br />

I decide the best way to deal with fans and paparazzi is to ~go somewhere~. I head to Del Sol Valley's Orchid A Go Go. I can practice my singing skill here, too.<br />
<br />
I do some quick rearranging, including adding a computer and a bar to the VIP section, and then send Cassidy up to write a short comedy routine. Why not, right? Let's up that low-level comedy skill. Ultimate Sim on her way to the top!<br />
<br />
I find out I accidently put the door facing the wrong way, so a paparazzo sneaks right in where I and "Thorne Bailey" are. Oops.<br />

I stop in the middle of composing my routine to pose for the paparazzi. Let's work on my ambition, eh?<br />
<br />
Then I go back to composing my short routine. Once it's done, I head downstairs and out of the VIP section to perform it.<br />
<br />
I perform it again to level up my comedy skill, because eff you that's why.<br />
<br />
Then... I chill and wait for people to ask to take selfies with me. C'mon, people.<br />
<br />
I take the opportunity to pose for paparazzi again. My reputation is <i>flawless</i>, I am the <i>best</i>. As a test, I take a selfie with a fan, but... nope, no dice; they have to ASK me. Argh.<br />
<br />
I ask for an autograph of Thorne since he's here, and I have one of Judith Ward, so why not, right?<br />
<br />
I take a confidence celebruserum just before running off to work. Yeehaw. Just before I go, I catch a couple of fans gossiping about me. NICE.<br />
<br />
I get home with a promotion, which is freakin' awesome. Then I run off to survey ocean wildlife. When I'm done with that, I decide to have some fun and take a bath with soaks to take care of my hygiene need.<br />
<br />

<br />
I need to max my logic skill to level ten as a promotion task, so I start by analyzing samples that are in my inventory.<br />
<br />
I apply another mite treatment to the bee box, then take a microscope slide of one of my plants to analyze under said microscope.<br />
<br />
It doesn't take very long, so then I switch gears and start stargazing. I reach logic level nine, which: yay! One more to go.<br />
<br />
It's interrupted by Cassidy needing to go to the bathroom, so I do that - then I spend some time loving on Dusty (he's sad) before giving him a bath. I then fertilize a plant with a poop that Dusty did. Thanks, Dusty xD<br />
<br />
The observatory has 'search for the truth' pop up, so that is exactly what I do. I get a print from it, but it's a print I already have, so I just go ahead and sell it.<br />
<br />
The holiday 'neighborhood brawl' starts which. I just. Why? I end it early, because... why. Just. Why.<br />
<br />
I get another two prints from the observatory, neither of which I have, and then it's off to work!<br />
<br />
When I get back, I collect my mail and do some gardening. Then, I head upstairs and use the toilet. I get a whim to use the observatory, so I do!<br />
<br />
After that, I complete my daily work task of surveying ocean wildlife. I got sent an artifact to authenticate, so I do so. I mail it back and then spend some time with Dusty.<br />
<br />
Since I have my days off and don't have to worry about working for the next four days (yay), I head off to Del Sol Valley again in hopes of 1) upping my fame and 2) walking on Starlight Boulevard to fulfill a whim.<br />
<br />
My bladder starts bothering me, so I go ahead and buy 'steel bladder' since I have 6,000 points. I quickly add a chess table to the park and start playing with someone.<br />

Someone interrupts me to ask for a selfie, which - yay, one step closer to completing my ambition! But, like, also, I'm trying to level my logic skill here xD<br />
<br />
Someone calls me up to the flea market, so I head out.<br />
<br />
I buy something there (origami crane latern. It's big but pretty!) and then try a hookah with the person who invited me. Oh, sorry - I mean a <i>bubble bar</i>.<br />
<br />

<br />
It impacts my reputation, but I don't quite glimpse what it is other than green. I don't mind too much either way - my angelic reputation is not gonna get killed by one or two measly points.<br />
<br />
I jam on my guitar some, because why not.<br />
<br />
I drink a celebruserum - an energy one I don't actually need, mostly to get rid of it - and then, when the flea market is over, head to Strangerville.<br />
<br />
I need some youth from the mother plant, yo. She sends my life progress back to the beginning, as she does.<br />
<br />
After that, I head on over to the Strangerville Library. After putting away some books, I start playing chess. Level that logic skill up!<br />
<br />
It's interesting. Two of the people I fought the mother plant with at the start of this playthrough are <i>elders</i> now, thanks to the mother plant herself. The other one was an elder at the time, and since he no longer comes up to socialize with, I'm... <i>pretty sure</i> he's dead.<br />
<br />
Sims can sure make you think about your mortality, huh?<br />

I give an archeology lecture right off, since it'll boost my fame too.<br />
<br />
After my social need is full, I go to the bathroom and then order and eat some food. It's "normal" quality so of course, I get a debuff. Sigh, the price of fame. xD<br />
<br />
Once I eat, I refine the sapphire crystal in my inventory and debate about going back into the jungle. Has it been enough time? Pro... probably not.<br />
<br />
I go ahead and check out the statue again, deciding to "show respect" to her. After that, I take my guitar and sing songs because why not.<br />
<br />
I drink an inspired celubuserum and then do it again (the guitar) because SKILL GAIN. Yeah. Then I fulfill a whim to authenticate an artifact.<br />
<br />
I play guitar until I get 50 simoleons in tips to fulfill another wish, then play chess for YET ANOTHER whim. Woo.<br />
<br />
I head back to base to take a shower and then make food, using my gourmet cooking skill since I'm maxed on cooking. I have a variety of maxed skills and I am <i>so proud</i> of myself.<br />
<br />
While I play the guitar to fulfill another whim, I get attacked by spiders. Luckily, I effortlessly avoid any damage. Aw yiss.<br />
<br />
Finally, I head back into the jungle. It's time to finish this aspiration, methinks. I rescue someone from a carnivorous plant and get some treasures which is always nice.<br />
<br />
This temple is especially lovely.<br />

<br />
I excavate the piles and then examine the mechanisms in hopes to find my way through. Apparently, they're based on handiness skill, which I thought it was logic? Whatever, close enough, same difference, or... something?<br />
<br />
All the same, first puzzle is done with zero guessing on my part.<br />
<br />
I get a "Blessing of the Ancients" and attacked by spiders that I easily outsmart. Take that, spiders.<br />

<br />
Next level has a type of mechanism I haven't seen before, with no option from it leading to opening the door. Sadness. However, I am easily able to move on. The next room has a wall of glyphs, although they seem randomly placed.<br />

Unlike previous temples, when I open to the next stage, I go down a level.<br />

<br />
Much spook, many wow.<br />
<br />
The next room holds the final treasure chest. And the verdict is...<br />
<br />
No base. Drat. Looks like it's time to cheat one in then, because... no. Just, no. My vacation ends pretty much as soon as I finish the temple, which is excellent timing.<br />
<br />
I make a wealth relic with the cat statue and the watcher relic base and get some simoleons. Nice.<br />
<br />
When I get home, I give some love to Dusty, then garden, and slowly begin to uncover, authenticate, and organize my goodies. It's a Process.<br />
<br />
Actually, scratch that, hold on. There's a whole archeology knowledge tree. I pay my bills and then use an artifact on someone. Tada, ambition completed, moving on.<br />
<br />
The next ambition is archeology scholar, and so I immediately uncover an artifact from a dirt clump before I go to work.<br />
<br />
With my newfound vacation day, I head back to the jungle but only for a couple of days. I also try a fancier living area, a bit curious as to what it looks like. Hey - I'm wealthy from my time in the jungle, and I'm only going to earn more money as I go on.<br />
<br />
This time, I take Dusty with me, because I don't want to leave him alone at home again. I set it for three days, just to make sure I have plenty of time.<br />
<br />
I make food for myself and Dusty after claiming the downstairs bedroom. I'll be staying with Madison Gamble it seems.<br />
<br />
After bathing Dusty, I dance the rumbasim to up my fun need, and then it's time to head into the jungle to do some excavations.<br />
<br />
While I'm in the jungle excavating and exploring, Dusty gets bitten by a squirrel. Uh-oh.<br />
<br />
I come back and make Dusty and myself some food, maxing out my gourmet cooking skill. Now the only reason to cook is to make myself meals for the next few days :P<br />
<br />
With harvest fest coming tomorrow, I do some cheating to get some decorations in. Of course I'll invite as many people over as possible and make a grand meal and it'll be fun and great and etc. And then hopefully I'll never be on vacation during holiday again :P<br />
<br />
I authenticate the three artifacts I need to to move on to the next level of my ambition and comfort and love on Dusty. Sure enough, he's gotten sick from that darn squirrel. When I get back, the first thing I'll do is take him to the vet's.<br />
<br />
Harvestfest starts after I establish the necessary number of excavation sites, so I start participating. I appease a gnome with pie.<br />
<br />

<br />
I think I made a mistake. Red fire is <i>not</i> promising.<br />
<br />
Then I invite a bunch of people over and start cooking a Grand Meal for everyone. Obviously, for Harvestfest - the Sims equivalent of Thanksgiving, I think - I make a turkey dinner.<br />
<br />
Dusty gets bitten by another squirrel while I'm cooking. I appease the gnomes some more, and then with almost everyone there I call everyone to eat the grand meal.<br />
<br />
I manage to make one gnome happy. Hurray! The other one also acquires red fire instead of a halo, which is... not hurray.<br />
<br />
I plead the angry gnomes for forgiveness, which apparently makes them angrier. Crap.<br />
<br />
With angry gnomes, all of my guests quickly leave. I don't blame 'em, I don't want to be around angry gnomes.<br />
<br />
I try pleading for forgiveness a few more times, and one gnome comes around. After the other zaps me about ten times I give up and start dancing to boost my fun need.<br />
<br />
(The Sims is so <i>random</i>, sometimes.)<br />
<br />

<br />
I comfort Dusty again, and then decide <i>screw it </i>- priority number one is vet's office. I use my phone to see if I can get there. I can't go without cutting my vacation short, it seems, so that is exactly what I do. I don't need to stay in Selvadarado for the rest of my ambition anyway.<br />
<br />
And I take Dusty to the vet clinic, at last, so he can get better.<br />
<br />

<br />
Man alive, I wish vet tables did that in real life. It'd be so convenient.<br />
<br />
I pay the 750 simoleons for the expensive treatment. Cure my baby.<br />
<br />
I give him love then take him home to feed him.<br />
<br />
With that being done, I go back to authenticating and uncovering artifacts. Wheee.<br />
<br />
Harvestfest finishes as a success, so that's nice at least.<br />
<br />
After I use the bathroom, I authenticate one more artifact before having to go to work. RIP work: ruining Sims dreams as much as real ones.<br />
<br />
When I get home, I have to feed Dusty, repair the toilet, clean things, and then make myself food before I garden and give my bees a mite treatment and collect their honey.<br />
<br />
I authenticate another artifact and then play fetch with Dusty before... going back to authenticating and uncovering, and only 'EXCELLENT' quality.<br />
<br />
After another two artifacts, it's back to work for me.<br />
<br />
Home brings about more gardening, then feeding Dusty, then feeding myself. Yay leftovers.<br />
<br />
Someone throws a charity benefit in the middle of me authenticating an artifact, so I head out. Sadly, they're at a place I can't bring Dusty. Sadness.<br />
<br />
I had authenticated enough artifacts to be on the last stage of the ambition, so I go ahead and give an archeology lecture and hope it's successful. It's a success, which means just chillin' about until I can go back home. I find a spot to stand and play the guitar.<br />
<br />
Someone is giving a comedy performance, so after playing a few rounds I go and watch that.<br />
<br />
I become focused from my genius trait, so I go ahead and just "read something". The party ends, and I leave without finishing the book since my whim is completed. When I get home, I give Dusty some loves, then go ahead and start on my archeology book.<br />
<br />

<br />
And with that, my ambition is completed.<br />
<br />
Next time, I'll be moving on. Most likely to Realm of Magic, but I might stop and do some other DLC in the process.<br />
<br />
Also - this is my thirteenth book with this post published on Friday the 13th, with a full moon and harvest moon. Spooky Times (:<br />

Presumably, someone will come and take care of him.<br />
<br />
I stay at the Hillview Hideaway again, deciding that being cheap is for the best. Before I left, I DID add a stove and a couple of other things for convenience and such.<br />
<br />
It doesn't add much to the price - from 221 simoleons per day to 236 per day, it still is absolutely the cheapest rental property and that's fine by me.<br />
<br />
The first thing I do is order food off of the secret menu. And then it's into the jungle for me.<br />

<br />
Even before I go through the vine-covered pathway, I find something to excavate - which is potential income.<br />
<br />
I find another abandoned campsite and search for gear. Thanks once again to my high logic, I am able to avoid a scorpion bite. Nice.<br />
<br />
I continue onward, past the falls to the other door and clear that. Of course, I clear out another excavation site on the way. I run into a jaguar, relying on my fitness skill... and I take the risk... and succeed and get a shiny out of it! Yay! Some Amazonite.<br />
<br />
With three paths before me - and one previously opened now closed - I pick the one farthest away.<br />
<br />
I use spider repellant on a plant to confuse it, not trusting my handiness skill since I have to rescue a sim.<br />
<br />
He gives me some collectible goodies.<br />
<br />
I dodge some plasma bats and open a chest before going fishing. Lovely little area I've found. With a fishing hole. I use the amazonite as bait and hope I don't waste it.<br />
<br />

<br />
I catch an armored catfish with the bait. After catching another fish, I head back to the previous area and use one of the bushes as a bathroom before moving on.<br />
<br />
I find some plants and attempt to get the shiny. I succeed this time, yay!<br />
<br />
And then I make my way to the royal baths, which is. It's just awesome.<br />
<br />
There's actually someone here with me - Reiko Ishikawa. I decide to start befriending them, since, y'know, they're at this hidden area in the jungle too.<br />
<br />
When I'm done chatting, I head back.<br />
<br />
I get attacked by bees, and thus complete my milestone. The next goal consists of opening 3 rare omiscan treasure chests (at the end of temples), activating mystical relics 5 times, and finding five treasures.<br />
<br />
I have two relics in my inventory, so... I activate one.<br />
<br />

<br />
I end up cursed. Yay. .-. I quickly leave the jungle for now, deciding that the best idea is to take care of my needs and attempt to reverse the curse.<br />
<br />
Desperate attempts to get rid of it lead to success - the curse is gone and I end up with the blessing of self-care. Hurray! I activate the other relic I have on me, fingers crossed that I don't end up cursed again. If the chaos relic cursed me, maybe the watcher relic will bless me...? Of course, since I'm affected by a blessing already, I can't bless myself.<br />
<br />
But I can use the relic on someone else, and so I do. And I'm very glad I used it on someone else - it's another curse!<br />
<br />
I head back into the jungle and to the temple. I get a bag out of some quicksand with the guzmania flower I have. As a reward, I get a cool artifact. Neat.<br />
<br />
Examining the mechanisms gives me the right answer right away, so I do that and move on in the temple.<br />
<br />
I get three options in the next group - leaves glyph (which worked upstairs), or two option of skeleton statue warrior weapons. I try the right warrior first.<br />
<br />
Lucky duck that I am, it works. The next group gives me the answer right away too which is SUPER nice. I get the last room, and from there it's back to base to get the temple to reset.<br />
<br />
I use a fire opal on a llama relic on a death base. For some reason, however, it won't let me use it on anyone. Darn. I guess... back into the jungle?<br />
<br />
Sadly, the temple is closed, with "check back in half a day or so". Well then. I've been kicked out.<br />
<br />
I... for some reason... get a call to come into work... even though I'm on vacation? -squint- I'm hoping it's a one-time bug and call out sick, but if I get it again I'm going to just head into work. I'm paying so much for this thing, I DON'T WANNA work...<br />
<br />
When I check the jungle again, it's open. Time to tackle another temple. And maybe wait long enough to use that new artifact I have...<br />
<br />
The temple this time is fairly empty, but it does have some books. I go ahead and read them. Well - I read the two books that aren't the archeology volume 1 book. It'd bore me, considering I'm level 9.<br />

<br />
My blessing has worn off by now, so I use the relic... and summon a skeleton! Spooky! That's fine, Cassidy is a brave adventurer. I give the skeleton my autograph and then give it a Selvadoradan greeting.<br />

<div>
After chatting with the skeleton a bit, I go ahead and finally examine the mechanisms.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A temple guardian - another skeleton! - appears, and I go say hey to them too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Examining the mechanisms leads to just one solution, so I use that and pass through with zero problems.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
During my examinations, the holiday 'Night on the Town' starts. Well. I can't exactly participate, so...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Work calls and I say I'm going to go. I'm... not actually, and hopefully, no nonsense occurs because of it. I'm on vacation! Why are you calling me? Why don't you just not pay me? You did last time! Good grief!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I proceed deeper into the temple and study more mechanisms. I find the right one and proceed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This explains the skeletal temple guardian - it's a crypt. I also get a personal sun. I think there's just one room to go until the reward, so I look at the single mechanism in the room.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It gives me the answer, and that's two temples down, one to go. I get a golden chaos relic which is INCREDIBLE. Just straight-up INCREDIBLE.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I head back to base. There, I find a fire opal and refine the crystal to make a new relic, which I test on someone since I have the blessing of personal sun going on right now.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's a curse the opposite of my sun, a little cloud. I am sorry random Sim. I appreciate your sacrifice. One more relic and I'll have completed that goal.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I spend the night collecting things. In the morning, I get called into work again - but of course it doesn't actually take me there. Weird Sims glitches... Anyway, I get and refine another fire opal in preparation for the next relic I'll make.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I play some chess at the bar to boost my logic skill and fun need both. Then all I'll need to do is socialize, which, uh... easy, since I'm at the bar.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With all my needs in the green, it's back into the jungle for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On my way to the temple, I notice some capybaras with some bees. I use a flower to save the capybara from the bees. For my good deed of aiding the friend-shaped, I get a treasure.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Temple time. I do the excavations and then study the mechanisms. During this time, I max my archeology skill. This skill gives me the know-how I need to immediately unlock the gate, no risky guesses or accidentally activating temple defenses. Once again, I don't need to make any guesses. A third time gives me the answers... and voila, treasure chest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, I don't leave the jungle yet. I want one more base so I can unlock the artifact - along with getting the last omiscan treasure I need. I establish an excavation site at a pile, and start trying to get that base.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I get attacked by bees, but only stop excavating when I get the sad moodlet because I need to socialize. I head to the baths in hopes someone is there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And... nope! Fine. Finally, finally, I leave the jungle, debating about doing one more temple in hopes of achieving a base.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Or maybe I'll just cheat one in. Shhh. Find out next time :P <strike>on dragonball z</strike><br />

After all, it's a beautiful island.<br />
<br />
I move to the empty lot of Key Point in Mua Pel'am. No room for a basement since I'm by the ocean, but also I'm by the ocean with the lot trait 'Oceanic Paradise'. Plus, Mua Pel'am is good for my conservationist career when I get back to that.<br />
<br />
The first thing I build is a pier. The second thing is a room for all my goodies from both Sulani and Selvadorada, and future goodies I'll get from other places as I continue to have Cassidy explore the full extent of what the Sims 4 and its DLC has to offer.<br />
<br />
I also build a greenhouse on the opposite side, thus allowing plants to be grown easily year-round.<br />
<br />
I go for a shift at work, feed my dog...<br />
<br />
And then Roger decides to throw a birthday party at my house. Oh... kay. Well! Birthdays, yay!<br />
<br />
He ages up to an elder in the process.<br />
<br />
After the party, I craft a barstool.<br />

<br />
Afterwards, I head off to work. I come home and make food for Dusty. Then, I clean up some trash in the ocean and places before surveying ocean wildlife. I need to get to level 8 logic skill, so I start working on that after I make food. I mess around on the microscope first.<br />
<br />
I decide to work from home today, and have two goals: survey ocean wildlife and interact with a dolphin.<br />
<br />
Ah yes. A dolphin. That I have not seen once. In my entire playthrough.<br />
<br />
Google and struggle provide me with...<br />

<br />
DOLPHIN. HALLELUJAH.<br />
<br />
As soon as I succeed, I get invited to a charity benefit. I go ahead and attend despite my low needs - I can fill 'em up there.<br />
<br />
I get back home and feed Dusty and take him on a walk after using the microscope some. And it becomes Prank Day.<br />
<br />
After some glitching, I invite some people over and pull pranks to complete prank day. I feed both Cassidy and Dusty. I also make a second bar stool.<br />
<br />
I also fulfill a whim by buying a dishwasher. I then let chaos reign in order to read a logic book. Everyone leaves during this time. I just wanna level up my skill, don't mind me.<br />
<br />
I take a brief break to feed Dusty and make sure my needs are all in the green, then return to reading the book.<br />
<br />
I take another break to clean up Dusty's bathroom usage and garden. Then I use the bathroom and make myself food again. I get bills to the tune of 4k, and so take a break from reading the logic book to try and find collectibles to sell since I only have 2.6k.<br />
<br />
Oh, yeah. And I give Dusty a bath because he's dirty. Pfff.<br />
<br />
After fishing, I play fetch with Dusty. Work time comes after I do some collecting and cleaning, and of course, I choose to work from home. Once again I need to survey ocean wildlife and interact with a dolphin.<br />
<br />
I garden, and then head out to the dive buoy that attracts dolphins in Mua Pel'am. I can't quite catch a dolphin, but I survey ocean wildlife before I make Dusty food and eat some leftovers myself. After that, I clean up some trash and head back to the buoy so I CAN get the dolphins when they next show up.<br />
<br />
Next time the dolphins come, I'm ready and call one over. After playing with the dolphin a bit, I head back home to pee and take care of Dusty.<br />
<br />
I sell my two underwater photos to publications and then make a painting so I can earn enough to pay my bills. Whew, just barely! This feels an awful lot like the beginning, huh...? After making food for Dusty and eating my own food, I head off to work at the rabbithole.<br />
<br />
Once I get home, I read more of the logic book.<br />
<br />
On Thursday, there's a TV season premiere. Okay then, that's a holiday apparently? -shrug-<br />
<br />
After doing some activities, I drink a focused celebriserum and then "search for the truth" in the observatory.<br />
<br />
THEN I GET ABDUCTED.<br />
<br />
After the abduction, I go to work and get a promotion. Yay!<br />
<br />
It becomes fall.<br />
<br />
I'm... doing a lot more than I'm writing, of course, because I'm mostly just saving/earning money for when I next go to Selvadorada.<br />

<br />
Oh, hey, I'm writing a mood book! I'm in an energized mood, so... I make it to writing level 8, and can now write sci-fi books. Sweet.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here's a confident book. Next up: two scifi books.<br />
<br />
My stove breaks while I make food, so I repair it. Yay handiness skill.<br />
<br />
I get bills again and am able to pay them off right away. (:<br />
<br />
I also made a masterpiece painting. Sweet!<br />
<br />
With over 5,000 simoleons, I decide that it's time to head back to the jungle and continue my adventure. After all, I'll be making more money there.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then, after that, I change out my clothing to something more appropriate to brave the Selvadoradian jungle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_VYNH00kMTj36acS_6zgTTGDrhdi3mSiCE_gFAy-HgxaIICHp4TOLY3V6-HlgmY9tVrJyf1zyUiTOPZzFn-sUoCjs76MWci8JnNvGkFy-wgq_R2Hyk5G-kan2yPQObVr6WnaJoJpGYb4/s1600/09-11-19_4-49-48%25C2%25A0AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="837" data-original-width="1600" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_VYNH00kMTj36acS_6zgTTGDrhdi3mSiCE_gFAy-HgxaIICHp4TOLY3V6-HlgmY9tVrJyf1zyUiTOPZzFn-sUoCjs76MWci8JnNvGkFy-wgq_R2Hyk5G-kan2yPQObVr6WnaJoJpGYb4/s400/09-11-19_4-49-48%25C2%25A0AM.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Even though it's 10 PM and raining, the market is open, so I buy things there. I get three things and then a Selvadoradian meal, meaning all that's left for the first step of my ambition is to view the statue of Madre Cosecha.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Done.<br />
<br />
The meal is unpleasant and I can't manage it. My refined palate quirk and low Selvadorian (this spelling is going to change a <i>lot</i>) culture skill make it awful.<br />
<br />
Alright then! Moving on! I head to Belomisia Trailhead to see if I can't make my way deeper into the jungle.<br />
<br />
I read about the poison warning (consult local sims) and preparation checklist (buy at marketplace) before using the machete that came with the vacation things to clear the path and heading deeper within the jungle.<br />
<br />
I come across sloths and try to distract the flies with dance <i>this is going to be terrible i have a skill of one...</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I upset sloths and there are. There are fire flies. Like, literally, they have fire and they are flies.<br />
<br />

(2:00 - 2:11)</div>
...huh. They don't hurt me.<br />
<br />
I head back to my camp and try to make my mood better, because yikes.<br />
<br />
I realize there's nothing at my camp because I'm cheap and head to the museum instead.<br />
<br />
I view some collections and make myself focused instead of uncomfortable, then write a conservation article. Then pee.<br />
<br />
By then, it's 5:15, so I travel to the bar to see if there's people to socialize with.<br />
<br />
I chat with a man named Santiago, asking him about the jungle. I learn about plasma bats (plasma bait box, noted!) and also get a pristine reputation. Heck yes.<br />
<br />
I also reach level 2 of the Selvidaran skill. I chat with someone else, practicing my introduction, then dance some.<br />
<br />
With my mood up, I buy more supplies and then it's time to brave the jungle once more. I also get an archeology table.<br />
<br />
Chatting some more also upped me to level 3 culture skill, and so I bought another meal. I learn how to cook it, but get a negative moodlet since it wasn't 'Excellent' or higher quality.<br />
<br />
NOW, finally, I go and brave the jungle.<br />
<br />
I make it through to the other side, and start exploring.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<i>Pretty.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
As I excavate things, I acquire the archeology skill.<br />
<br />
At the next doorway covered in vines, I lose my machete. RIP machete, you will be dearly missed. Like, seriously. I'll have to use my hands now.<br />
<br />
I get the opportunity to take a statue. And... I leave it. My skill is too low to risk it, honestly.<br />
<br />
I miss some mystical fire being thrown at me, thank goodness.<br />
<br />
Thanks to my decent gardening skill, even though I have to clear away vines with my hands, I do just fine on that.<br />
<br />
I search an abandoned campsite for gear. Thanks to my high logic skill, I avoid a scorpion but still get the gear. Yay!<br />
<br />
At last I locate a temple. "The temple".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the lowest level, I harvest some plants and then examine a puzzle.<br />
<br />
I also get invited to make a donation to charity, because somehow my phone works out here, so of course I do.<br />
<br />
Messing about in the temple and investigating puzzles and excavating things bumps my skill to level two.<br />
<br />
I end up peeing my pants because of a trigger. RIP me. I press forward, moving on from the angry stone thing to the little pedestals.<br />
<br />
Maybe an offering to the sun glyph will aid me?<br />
<br />
I get lit on fire. I quickly extinguish myself in the pool of water. Okay. Time to try another glyph. Again: RIP me.<br />
<br />
I try the tree glyph next.<br />
<br />
Again I'm lit on fire. One more glyph to try, and then I can take care of my needs and try to figure out a different way. Hmm...<br />
<br />
The arrowhead glyph works! The door opens and I get blessed with 'Glorious Tastes' for two days.<br />
<br />
I descend further and am faced with more puzzles. Oof.<br />
<br />
I examine it and have the tree glyph hole ruled out. I notice lots of sun themes. So... I try the sun glyph hole.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As I'm sure you can guess by the red glow, that was the wrong answer. Nothing more happens than decreasing my hygiene, thankfully.<br />
<br />
Well, arrowhead worked upstairs. Maybe it'll work down here?<br />
<br />
I pee my pants. Come on, leaves glyph hole, lead me to glory!<br />
<br />
Love Day starts as I am "lead to glory". There are two potential mechanisms, 3 skeletons and some offerings.<br />
<br />
I'll try the skeleton triggers first, and then move on to either tree or sun glyphs since the leaves and arrowhead have been used.<br />
<br />
Course, examining the skeletons gives me that they're the correct trigger. HURRAY.<br />
<br />
I have skeletons and glyphs - it's either one weapon of the skeletons or one offering with the glyphs. I try the glyphs first and offer to the leaves glyph.<br />
<br />
...after opening the treasure chest in the room, of course.<br />
<br />
It works! I get it on my first try! Sweet hallelujah!<br />
<br />
There are two treasure chests in the final room, and I open both.<br />
<br />

<br />
With the discoveries unlocked, I leave for home base and take care of all my needs.<br />
<br />
Once my needs are filled, I start to take care of authenticating and uncovering the artifacts I've found so far. I also level up to level 10 cooking skill, suh-weet.<br />
<br />
During the time I'm working on the artifacts, I manage to dodge a plasma bat attack. Okay, that is... pretty dang awesome.<br />
<br />
Love Day also ends, bringing with its end a sadness moodlet. Well, Cassidy, I don't want you to date anyone yet. Deal with it.<br />
<br />
I manage to make it to level 6 archeology skill from the artifacts, and I do some serious need-filling. Finally, it's Sunday and Spring turns into Summer.<br />
<br />
Chatting with a local gets me to level 4 culture skill, so I ask about local myths.<br />
<br />
I go back to the jungle. And get poisoned in my pursuit of shinies. RIP me. However, I find a secret location and advance to the next stage of my aspiration, so yay.<br />
<br />
I find sloths again. I walk with the sloths, taking the riskier route...<br />
<br />
And fail. RIP. Jungle bat time. I am the sad.<br />
<br />
This time, I find a different temple. I start to explore, because of course you do! Time to unlock more secrets!<br />
<br />
This temple has a bar in it and some different stereos. Huh, cool.<br />
<br />
I have two potential triggers, but the first one I try is the right one. Yay!<br />
<br />
The next gate gives me the answer for the mechanism. Also a yay. I receive the Blessing of Self-Care. By now, the poison from the plant wears off and I'm feeling AWESOME.<br />
<br />
I learn of the correct mechanism in the next batch of mechanisms, too. And that gets me to the final treasure of the temple.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
After all the loot has been looted and excavation piles excavated, I leave the jungle for the bar. Why not? xD<br />
<br />
I socialize with a local in the bar, fulfilling my social need which is the only low need at the moment.<br />
<br />
After socializing, I do more work on artifacts with the table near the bar.<br />
<br />
I take a break from that to "assemble a mystical relic". First I refine a crystal, and then I use a base I got in combination with the 'zazatotl' relic. Then I add the crystal, and... voila. Mystical relic complete.<br />
<br />
I make it to level five cultural skill, too. All that's left is two natural dangers and then I can move on to the next step of my aspiration.<br />
<br />

<br />
I dance the Rumbasim (a Selvadoran dance) to boost my fun need, then head to camp to take a shower.<br />
<br />
I also pay my bills, which is currently over 3000 simoleons thanks to the fact I have 50 artifacts in my inventory. I sell some doubles of artifacts, along with the counterfeits I've gotten.<br />
<br />
I play some songs, do some digging, harvest some things, and generally hang out at base and wait for the "creepy crawlies" lot trait to come into effect so I can face the dangers of the jungle and move on with my freaking ambition.<br />
<br />
I do some dancing of the rumbasim and get to dance level five, then update on social media.<br />
<br />
A stray dog named Dusty comes for a visit, so... I hang out with the dog. Because puppies.<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm sure you all know where this is going. Cassidy now has a pet dog named Dusty.<br />
<br />
I rush down to the market to buy pet supplies for the remainder of the vacation.<br />
<br />
Since there's only a day left, I teach Dusty how to sit, lay down, and roll over and achieve pet training skill level three in the process.<br />
<br />
With me back at home - with a new pet - the part one of Jungle Adventures ends. Now, then. I think a new, larger house is in order... the only question is, where?<br />

By now my social need is low, so I try calling up a friend. Everyone is sleeping at 3:15 AM, so I paint another painting instead. It's fiiine.<br />

I graft the pineapple cutting to one of the green pea plants. I get an achievement and the research the pinapple/green pea hybrid.<br />
<br />
I then "Sell All" (harvest+sell) and then weed the plants. Yay weeding.<br />
<br />
After watering the plants that need to be watered, I just have to weed or water one more time to complete this stage of my aspiration. SO CLOSE.<br />
<br />
I take a cutting of the taro root behind my house and then graft it to one of my onion plants because Why Not?<br />
<br />
After quickly doing some social media stuff, it's time for work. I had Cassidy leave for the rabbit hole this go-around, so I just sit and wait for her to get back. At work, I make her socialize with coworkers to help with her social need since I wasn't able to take care of it.<br />
<br />
When she gets home, I pay the bills and check my mail. I get more clay from the fan mail so I just mold it because Why not. Cassidy also has a wish involving the bee box, so I check it. I apply the mite treatment and then Bond With Bees.<br />
<br />
I also collect honey and collect swarm, and have the swarm pollinate my plants. I open one of the presents from the present pile, courtesy of a wish. I get a bunch of upgrade parts from the present, which, yay!<br />
<br />
I make and eat chili, then fulfill the wish to play in the rain. Yay rain! I get a wish to plant something and so plant a couple of lemons near the beebox.<br />
<br />
Someone visits at 10 PM, so I let him in and say hey. I take this opportunity to spread conservation awareness and thus complete my job task.<br />

George Cahill also stops by. It's a party.<br />
<br />
While they're here, I decide to paint some more. Up the skill and up my fame level, it's a win-win.<br />
<br />
I start a second painting just to get to level six. Yay! (: I then start a non-fiction book.<br />
<br />

<br />
After I finish it, I sell all the new harvestables and then fulfill the wish I have to fertilize a plant by fertilizing both of my spliced plants.<br />
<br />
Then I sell the book to publisher and fulfill another wish/whim by painting. I also achieve the Rising Star fame level, so that's level two. Sweet!<br />
<br />
After the painting, I head to work. I come back home to sell it. Do some gardening, take care of my bees, someone comes and starts using my stuff, someone comes to visit and breaks my computer, I take a bath... and then fix the computer, of course.<br />
<br />
After doing more stuff at home, I head off, DETERMINED to find a mermaid. I travel to the beach in Lani St. Taz.<br />
<br />
I blow the conch shell a few times, wander around a bit, and then meet and become good friends with someone (and get level 6 charisma). I ask her if she's a mermaid...<br />
<br />
DISAPPOINTMENT.<br />
<br />
I fulfill a wish by lighting the bonfire, and then go and scuba dive to see if I can't find a mermaid that way.<br />
<br />
I reach fitness level five while doing it.<br />
<br />
I dive twice before giving up and going home. I give up. I'm going to finish the freelance botanist aspiration and then move on. It's time to do something - <i>anything </i>- else but deal with Sulani nonsense.<br />
<br />
After I use the bathroom at home, I use the observatory and wait for the chance to weed or water a plant. Save meee.<br />
<br />
Screw it. I want to do some Jungle Adventures stuff. Time to switch aspirations and head for El Salvarado.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also get the 10,000 'never weary' trait as I've just made enough for that.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
When I get back home, I do some gardening.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I get fanmail, which includes a lump of clay, a fish, and a spoiled cupcake. <i>Stop sending me food.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
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.<br />
<br />
I get hungry so I grab the last leftover grilled cheese. Delicious.<br />
<br />
I get an offer to be a regional manager but decline. Conservation plz.<br />
<br />
I bond with the bees and get another swarm, which I send to fetch a gift. They get me a melaco, which I sell.<br />
<br />
I decide to write a children's book. I IMMEDIATELY reach level seven. Nice.<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I also end up improving Mua Pel'am. Yay!<br />
<br />
After cleaning up more trash, I do some snorkeling. By then I'm hungry, so I head home to eat.<br />

<br />
Oh look... someone's painting my house AGAIN. >(<br />
<br />
I reach gourmet cooking level five while making dinner. Yay.<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
Once I collect fifty simoleons, I head on back home.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I start chatting with her instead, hoping to maybe get some positive interaction and then try again when I am no longer angry.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
When she finishes, I take a bath with lavender foam soak.<br />
<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I extract a fossil and end up with a prehistoric rock. Cool beans! Makoa leaves while I'm chatting with George.<br />
<br />
I collect a microscopic sample from the fossil and then analyze it on my microscrope.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I collect honey and a swarm, and have the swarm cheer up George.<br />
<br />
Time for dancing. Woo.<br />
<br />
Talk like a pirate starts at 6 AM, so that's fun! I head into work, just after my dancing skill gets leveled. Yay (:<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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-<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

Uh-oh... there's sharks. Luckily, they pass by with nothing happen. I miss a text for the flea market, oh well.<br />
<br />
My needs are still high so... let's dive again perhaps?<br />
<br />
I dive back in for treasure. I also get an offer to be an actress. Eh, no thanks.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
Nothing happens, so I do some snorkeling.<br />
<br />
Snorkeling ends up with me upping my fitness skill and getting a cramp. Hm.<br />
<br />
After I finish snorkeling, I end up possessed. Possession leaves me with an hour for work, so I head home. I practice singing until work happens.<br />
<br />
Once I get back from work, it's off to the cave (after I roam around a beach in hopes that maybe that will find it. Nope, thank you for your help Google).<br />
<br />
The cave is located in the Admiral's Wreckage, so that's where I head to. And sure enough - cave!<br />
<br />
I put my name on a wall in the cave, and then head back in for one more round. I run into some bats, so I start to look around. I find some trash and of course I clean it up.<br />
<br />
I see a very populous fishing spot, and so once I'm done cleaning, it's fishing time.<br />
<br />

<br />
New skill, woo. Hopefully I'll fish up some buried treasure with this.<br />
<br />
I catch a lump of clay, and head home. On my way, I pick up some more trash and end up swallowing water and getting cut by the trash. Woo, super uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
I pay my bills before anything can get shut down, and then eat before I start a landscape painting. I end up inspired and so practice singing some.<br />
<br />
I sing until I'm possessed, then when I'm no longer possessed I find a new job. Time to be a conservationist, I think.<br />
<br />
I get the assignment to research conservation, and so I do. It upgrades my handiness skill to four, although it's supposed to be boosting logic... ok. It also boosts my gardening skill to five, so clearly it does multiple skills. Neat.<br />
<br />
Winterfest begins while I'm working. Yay Winterfest! I buy a fireplace so Father Winter will come and do some decorating.<br />
<br />
I then invite people over to begin the holiday and start on a grand meal.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's not an official party, it's just me inviting over whoever I can, but... Cassidy seems to have fun and so does everyone else, and that's what counts.<br />
<br />
I get a bunch of Strangerville fanmail, including some spoiled food (ew), a cupcake, and a lump of clay. Okay.<br />
<br />
I regret the two fish I got and get rid of the food, and then Father Winter has arrived!<br />
<br />
He rebuilds the present pile and makes it BIGGER, nice. And that's for just me this time :P I give him the remainder of the cookies I had baked, since that's traditional and they haven't spoiled yet since they've been in the fridge. I also invite him to eat the leftovers of the Grand Meal.<br />
<br />

<br />
I suppose it is the thought that counts, because he has none of the food.<br />
<br />
Father Winter makes his departure just as I become possessed. I go ahead and chat with the plant. After possession ends, I clean up, garden, and then practice guitar until work.<br />
<br />
I get a promotion, and then my job's daily task is to 'spread conservation awareness to other sims'.<br />
<br />
I head over to the beach after filling my motives to get started on that (and then I can look for buried treasure after).<br />
<br />
After some beachcombing, I start fishing.<br />
<br />
I catch a cichlid fairly quickly, which is cool, but not what I want. I also get myself a plumbing upgrade part, a digital camera, a digitalistic sketchpad, and a 'rainborz'. Possession ends my fishing expedition and I head home.<br />
<br />
When the possession ends, I make a mobile app. I head to work in the middle of it, and the holiday Night on the Town starts.<br />
<br />
When I'm back home, I'm off again to mooch food and drink off of some venue or another. I head to The Sand Bar, since it's in Sulani.<br />
<br />
I order my favorite drink, which is supposedly a 'frizzy fruity drink', and enjoy it. I also order some fish and chips, and then practice singing. Possession ends the session, and once again I head back home.<br />
<br />
I finally replace the observatory once the posession ends. I reach level nine of the programming skill, and it's New Year's Day so I don't have work.<br />
<br />
I decorate and buy a TV and radio for the holiday, since both will be needed. I stop making the app to go ahead and worry about doing the holiday activities.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
First off: Making a resolution. I decide to aim for a promotion. I invite people over to my house to make holiday activities a little bit easier (and to have someone to talk about conservation with for my job).<br />
<br />
Almost everyone heads home, but only after I complete all but the final task, to watch the New Year's countdown.<br />
<br />
Roger invites me to the romance festival, lel.<br />
<br />
I dance some more now that I'm entirely home alone and with no other goals to complete (FOR NOW).<br />
<br />
I reach dance level 2. Once I level, I resume making the mobile app.<br />
<br />
At about 11:30, I start to watch the countdown to midnight. Midnight comes and goes, and finally, it's spring.<br />
<br />
Once that's done, I continue to make the mobile app until possession time (tm). The holiday ends as a resounding success.<br />
<br />
Once the possession ends, I open a present (the present pile is very big and I live alone) and then continue working on the mobile app.<br />
<br />
Brittany Ceja wants to come over, so I let her, because I want to spread conservation awareness for my job :P<br />
<br />
I finish the app and max my programming skill level. Noice. I do gardening when the app is done.<br />
<br />
Someone joins in my conversation with Brittany, but either way I finish the conservation and do motive filling after. AND THEN. My toilet breaks. Because of course it does. -sigh-<br />
<br />
I upgrade the tub with sturdy faucets, and then it's Possession Time (tm)<br />
<br />
I play in the rain some when the possession ends. Immediately after I finish that wish, I get a wish to level up my dancing skill, so that's what I start. Meanwhile... I have enough money to build a pool, so I FINALLY complete that wish.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's a small pool, but I like it :)<br />
<br />
My sim gets a wish for a bee box, so I buy that too. Why not? x3<br />
<br />
I interrupt my dancing to bond with the bees. After bonding, I garden, then dance until work.<br />
<br />
I get bills to the tune of 1244. Woo. I also get that promotion I put into my resolution!<br />
<br />
I play in the rain and open a present, taking care of the two wishes.<br />
<br />
I buy a floor mirror and practice dancing in it for yet another wish.<br />
<br />
Someone stops by with exta food. It isn't 'excellent', so I'm just going to throw it out. But I spread conservation awareness to complete that for my job.<br />
<br />
I level my charisma to five and become 'good friends' with a neighbor... so I ask him if he's a mermaid. Haha.<br />
<br />
He is not a mermaid. :(<br />
<br />
I make four grilled cheeses so I can make him one, since he brought me food. It... it makes sense, right? I garden after we eat, and then practice dancing into the floor mirror. It levels me up to three and I get a portable dance floor.<br />
<br />
I chat with Makoa (the neighbor) until I get possessed. And then I chat with him more, as a possessed sim. Mwahaha.<br />
<br />
When it ends, I create a social media profile. I then stargaze with the observatory to fulfill a wish.<br />
<br />
I garden and play around until work. I open another present and get a <i>pet poop</i>. Today for work, I work from home to try it out.<br />
<br />
First thing's first: I research conservationism. And then I need to take samples from the ocean.<br />
<br />
Researching levels several skills. I find some debris on the beach, then take samples from several areas.<br />
<br />
When I finish job tasks, I locate a diving buoy. It's in the Lani St. Taz area, and I buy a rebreather and a treasure tool. And then I DIVE FOR TREASURE :D<br />
<br />
I do it twice, and on the second time I get 'The Heart of Sulani'. SUCCESS!<br />
<br />
My milestone finished, the last thing I need to do to complete this is to doze off in a lounge chair or float lounger. I head home, to use the bathroom and eat.<br />
<br />
While analyzing the ocean samples I took earlier... suddenly, I'm blue?<br />
<br />

<br />
What Happened Here o_o<br />
<br />
I safely collect honey from the bee box and fulfill a wish (:<br />
<br />
From there, I head out to relax on the floating lounger and hope it a) doesn't glitch and b) lets me fall asleep before I get possessed by the Mother.<br />
<br />
And...<br />

<br />
Houston, we have landing.<br />
<br />
While I may have finished the beach life aspiration, there's obviously a lot more of Sulani to discover. So I'm going to find a new aspiration that seems like fun and keep working on conservation and beautifying Sulani. Along with finding mermaids and island spirits, of course.<br />
<br />
See you next time!<br />
