Chapter 165

Aww, so cute!

Ralphie: "Where's my pets?"

Servo: "I have a sneaking suspicion that one of the pets is doing something they shouldn't be doing."

Rosie: "Glad it's not me."

It is you!

Servo: "Rosie! Do not scratch the couch, you know we only have limited simoleons right now."

Rosie: "Limited simoleons?! What about my food bowl?!"

Jaxton: "And what about my gourmet meals?"

Evergreen Harbor is really changing for the better, sims are now riding on bicycles as an eco friendly way to travel.

The Parsons only had about 50 simoleons left... why? You'll find out soon.

Mackenzie: "Ugh, being poor sucks."

Now you know how generation 1 felt.

Paisley seems to be in a better mood today!

Paisley: "Because things seem to already be improving around here!"

Paisley: "I can't wait to see it get better and better."

Everyone is loving the new ladder!

Erick: "The new ladders aren't so fun when you really gotta pee and someone is in the other bathroom."

Jaxton: "You're telling me, I almost peed myself before. This mac and cheese is cheering me up, at least."

Paisley: "Mac and cheese could cheer anyone up."

Elodie: "Do you like your new bed, Landon?"

Landon: "Yes, mommy! It's so comfortable!"

I don't know how the Parsons are going to afford dinner, they barely had enough simoleons to fill the pet bowls.

Aaand this is why. This bath tub spent all the simoleons that the Parsons had left, but it was necessary with a toddler and a dog in the house. At least the Parsons can dumpster dive and sell items for some extra simoleons.

Elodie: "Why is the bath tub in the upstairs bathroom when we can't carry toddlers and dogs up the ladder?"

Oh, you're right, I'm a dingus. Time to move it.

With no money left to the Parsons name, Zhora had to get a job for the first time in her life. She decided to get a job in law.

Zhora: "Ugh, I don't want a job."

Paisley: "Is she kidding? I can't wait to finish school and start my job as a civil designer."

Things seem to be slowly but surely improving in Evergreen Harbor.

Servo: "If I could breathe, I'd be coughing slightly less out here."

Elodie: "Landon, mommy is busy doing something for one second."

Landon: "But I want to use the expensive bath tub, mommy!"

While Paisley is at school, Servo is in charge of feeding and taking care of the insects.

He's used to it because of the bees.

Zhora: "As long as I don't have to go near the bugs, I'm happy."

Landon: "Ha-ha! I took your spot, kitties!"

They don't look too impressed.

Zhora: "Your dancing sucks, babe. Just accept it."

Jaxton: "How could my own wife say that?"

Mackenzie: "We all know who the master dancer is around here."

I only just realised that Mackenzie is wearing stockings.

This is one of the cutest things ever.

With literally only 1 simoleon left after filling the pet bowls and accidentally making an expensive pet drink, Elodie can only afford to make water at this point. This is reminding me of Kieran.

Servo: "Nobody has moves this smooth."

Landon: "Why didn't you share your food with me, kitty?"

Zhora, are you seriously showering in the rain?

Zhora: "Mind your business."

Landon: "What the heck is this?"

You'd better put that down before Jax sees you holding that and loses his mind.

Elodie: "Luckily I had these bottles saved in my underwear inventory."

Jaxton: "You know you can't eat the boiling food that's still cooking in the pot, right?"

Rosie: "Try and stop me."

Jaxton: "Maybe I can scare her away with my craziness!"

Rosie: "He's acting like I don't witness craziness on a daily basis with this family."

Woohoo! Jax has reached level 10 of the cooking skill! I'm so proud of him! Even if he can only afford to make mac and cheese for now.

Landon: "Mommy, do the bottle juggling trick!"

Elodie: "What my son wants, he gets."

Landon: "That was awesome, mommy!"

The rays of sunshine are home from school.

Paisley: "What's this thing back here?"

Servo collected some bio fuel from the bugs, I guess it helps power this water generator.

I have no idea what it's for, but apparently it's not so good for the environment... don't tell Paisley or she'll freak out. I just wanted to see what it does. I'll probably sell it later.

Paisley: "Let's see what this thing does."

Ooh, it's working!

Paisley: "Are you sure this thing is eco friendly?"

Uh... yep! It's as eco friendly as it gets!

Paisley: "I guess I'll take your word for it."

Mwahahaha! She doesn't suspect a thing!

Servo has been planning to add some eco friendly upgrades to parts of the house, but with no money, he can't purchase any upgrade parts, so he needs to use eco friendly upgrade parts.

How do we get those? By making them with the fabricator. Where do we get the materials? From dumpster diving!

Of course, Paisley is 100% on board with that idea.

She'll do whatever it takes to make their house as green as possible and to make Evergreen Harbor a better place.

There's a rat!

Paisley: "That was fun, I wanna go back in."

You're enjoying this a little too much.

Paisley: "Don't judge me, okay?! I'm doing nothing but good!"

Paisley: "Looks like I'm gonna have to nosedive."

Did you really have to nosedive, or are you just obsessed with dumpster diving?

Paisley found an expensive stereo in the dumpster! As much as it pains me to not sell it for some simoleons, I'm gonna let Paisley recycle it, because she really wants to. If only she could have found something a bit cheaper to recycle.

So, first the pets are having secret meetings behind my back, and now the crickets are doing it too?!

Paisley: "I can't wait to recycle this stereo for more materials we can use to make the house more green!"

Agh! Too late to turn back now, I guess.

ALL THOSE SIMOLEONS THEY COULD HAVE HAD!

Paisley: "Ah, this is beautiful! Crush that stereo!"

Welp... this is what's left of that expensive stereo.

Paisley: "How am I gonna turn that thing into recyclable materials?!"

Paisley: "What kind of recycling machine is this?!"

Relax, it automatically turns it into recyclable materials.

Paisley: "Oh.... now I feel kinda dumb."

You are dumb.

Paisley: "That's not nice."

Thank goodness the Parsons had enough money for dinner, I was getting worried.

Erick: "Ugh, having no simoleons is exhausting!"

Mackenzie: "There had better be breakfast tomorrow too."

I hope so.

Servo has decided to go dumpster diving too! He needs all the materials he can get to begin the upgrades.

Servo: "I'm goin' in!"

The best part about Servo dumpster diving is that he has no hygiene bar! He can just keep diving until his heart is content or until the dumpster is empty!

Servo: "I see so many cool items that have gone to waste. Luckily I'm here to retrieve them!"

Servo is a pro at dumpster diving, who would have known?

Look what Servo found in the dumpster! An awesome wooden bicycle! Paisley is gonna love this.

Servo: "I don't get to keep the bicycle for myself?"

You don't need a bicycle, you have hover mode engaged. You can hover everywhere you want.

This is making me feel a lot better about spending all the Parsons simoleons that they had left on a bath tub.

Paisley: "Let's see what this fabricator machine is all about."

Paisley has decided to make the eco upgrade parts using the fabricator.

This will be a good skill for Servo to learn as well.

Paisley: "Who needs Servo when you have my expertise?"

Paisley is pretty good with the fabricator!

Paisley: "Would you expect anything less?"

You never know with this family.

Paisley: "Uh oh! I think it's malfunctioning!"

Oh no! I shouldn't have said anything!

Paisley: "Why is it making all those weird sounds?!"

It's getting a little too close for comfort!

Paisley: "I just hope it doesn't-"

Paisley: "AHH!"

Paisley: "It's stuck to my hand!"

Paisley: "WOAH!"

Oh no! Paisley!

Paisley: "HELP ME!"

Paisley: "It's dipping me in dye! HELP!"

Release her this instant!

Wow, the fabricator actually listened to me. It listens more than the Parsons.

Paisley: "WOAH!"

Paisley: "Ugh!"

Paisley: "That was... terrifying. It didn't even give me the upgrade parts, but at least it gave me the materials back."

Paisley: "Look at the time, I have school tomorrow! Servo is gonna have to take over from here."

Servo has stepped into make the upgrade parts himself. Hopefully the machine doesn't malfunction this time.

Servo: "This is kinda fun!"

Townies are hanging around all day and night in Evergreen Harbor.

While the sims are asleep, Servo is going back to his new favorite hobby.

Yep, dumpster diving.

I think Servo and Paisley are enjoying dumpster diving waaay too much.

Servo: "Look how much new trash there is."

You know what they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Nancy and Geoffrey Landgraab be adorable out here.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT MY BABY STARLIGHT! She was one of the best Parsons cats ever!

Rest In Peace, Starlight Parsons. You were one of the most beautiful and adorable cats ever, and your personality was so, so sweet. You will be dearly missed.

Zhora: "This guy just gets creepier and creepier."

Grim Reaper: "Whoever just said that is next."

Get out of here, townie!

Time for Zhora to go to work, she doesn't look too happy about it.

And the kids are off to school!

Uh oh, the windmill broke. By the way, I know this windmill is meant to go on the floor and there's another one that's shorter that's meant to go on the roof, but I liked this taller one better than the roof one.

Elodie: "Where are we gonna get our energy from now?"

Servo: "I'll fix it after I partake in some more dumpster diving."

Servo just keeps diving and diving until the dumpster is empty.

With no more washing machine and dryer, the Parsons now have to do their laundry manually. It's eco friendly, at least!

This is the new washer and dryer.

Mackenzie: "Ugh, I feel like an old housewife in the 1900's."

Mackenzie: "Can't we find an eco friendly washer and dryer?"

Nope, get to work.

Mackenzie is doing better than I thought.

But how hard can it be?

Rosie, stop scratching up all the furniture! You know we have barely any simoleons anymore!

Servo collected enough materials from the dumpster to make another eco upgrade part!

Mackenzie has finally finished the laundry, she made a complete mess of the water while doing it.

Eugh, the water is filthy! 🤮

Now, time to hang the clothes on the clothesline.

I think Mackenzie is getting the hang of it!

Mackenzie: "I'm a laundry pro, who knew?"

Now, Mackenzie just has to replace the water in the bucket and she'll be done!

Mackenzie: "That was tedious, I'm not doing the next load."

The Parsons were finally able to afford a computer! They really needed one more than I thought they would. I guess the candle maker will have to make a comeback later since this was it's old spot.

Elodie has decided to play a little prank on Jax. This delicious looking drink is actually colorful dye, if he drinks it, he'll be completely covered in dye!

Mackenzie: "That's so funny, I could just dye! Get it?"

Elodie: "Really?"

Rosie is just always living her best life, isn't she?

That drink looks delicious, Jax!

Jaxton: "It does! How kind of my sister to make a drink just for me, I don't think I'll drink it just yet though."

Elodie: "The prank is already failing."

Landon: "Isn't it dangerous to drink dye?"

It most certainly is, don't try it at home.

The skies seem to be clearing up a lot, but it's still very bad here in Evergreen Harbor. There's litter all over the place.

Sorry, I had to get a picture of this birb. Anyway...

There's also pollution in a lot of other places as well, Evergreen Harbor still has a looong way to go.

Jaxton: "That drink was delicious!"

Uh... Jax...

Mackenzie: "HAHAHAHAHA!"

Mackenzie: "GOT 'EM!"

Jaxton: "What's she talking about?"

Elodie, don't be sad. Your prank worked!

Elodie: "Hahahahaha! Gotcha! You have dye all over yourself!"
Jaxton: "I've been bamboozled."

The kids are home from school!

Landon: *Fart*

That looks like it's gonna cause even more pollution.

Astrid: "Uh... Servo? Why are you covered in dye?"
Paisley: "Were you using the fabricator?"

Servo: "It's been a rough day, okay? The fabricator dipped me in dye more times than I can count."

Servo: "But, at least I'm not the only dye covered imbecile around here."

Jaxton: "Is he talking about me?"

It has started snowing in Evergreen Harbor!

Paisley: "Move, I wanted to look at the snow first."
Astrid: "Fine, we'll leave you out here by yourself to look at it."

Paisley: "Well, good!"

Paisley: "I don't need y'all!"

Paisley: "Stupid siblings."

Paisley: "Look at the snow!"

Paisley: "It's so pretty!"

Paisley: "I wonder if I can catch the snow in my mouth!"

Time to feed the bugs again!

Paisley is doing an amazing job at taking care of them!

Ralphie, was that you?

Ralphie: "Nope, gotta go!"

Servo was finally able to add an upgrade to the downstairs shower using the eco upgrade parts! He added a water recycler.

Paisley: "This wooden bike Servo found in the dumpster is awesome!"

I knew you'd love it!

Ralphie: "I wanna ride the bike too."

Paisley: "Now I can explore Evergreen Harbor even more and see which parts are the most polluted and littered."

Off she goes!

There's a whole lot of litter around here.

Paisley: "This part definitely needs a clean up."

Across the bridge!

Desperate times call for desperate measures, huh?

Servo: "Shut up."

Jaxton: "Hey, my hand is pink!"

Elodie: "Hahahahaha!"
Servo: "Got 'em!"

Jaxton: "Haha, yeah, you got me-"

Elodie: "GOT 'EM!"

Everyone: "HAHAHAHAHA!"

Jaxton: "I regret drinking that drink."

Landon is loving his eggs benedict!

Uh... Paisley?

Did you really need to ride your wooden bike inside?

Paisley: "Forget about that, look at my stupid dad! He's covered in dye!"

Jaxton: "How will I ever live this down?"

Zhora has to write some papers on the computer for her new job.

Zhora: "Why is having a job so hard?!"
