Chapter 166

Rosie is pregnant! Cashie and Rosie will be having kittens very soon!

It turns out the crickets weren't having a secret meeting, they were dead the entire time and I didn't even notice. Now Servo needs to replace them.

Servo: "Eugh!" *Cough, cough, cough!* "I don't even breathe and even I'm choking out here!"

Servo: *Cough, cough, cough!*

Well, looks like I spoke too soon about Evergreen Harbor improving for the better, it's already seemed to get worse again.

This just shows that Evergreen Harbor has a looong way to go before it's thriving again, and luckily Paisley is determined to make sure that happens.

Servo: "Behold... our new bugs!"

This time, the Parsons have decided to take care of some bombardier beetles and some grubs!

Servo: "After I clean the shower, I'll be able to add some more upgrades to it!"

The showers are the first of many things around here that need major upgrades.

Mackenzie: "Ugh, why hasn't Servo upgraded the upstairs shower yet?"

John: "Going up and down that ladder is starting to hurt my back!"

Looks like Jax has volunteered to take the clothes off the clothesline.

It took them a very long time to dry.

Simmie: "Now I can play in the pile of clothes once they're taken off the clothesline?"

No!

Paisley: "That's why our clothes always smell like dog?"

Astrid: "I thought I smelt something strange, now it all makes sense."

Happy birthday, Landon!

Landon aged up into a child! He still looks a lot like his dad with his mom's hair color.

Servo took the windmill off the roof to repair it. Don't ask how.

Wow, it's a lot taller than it looks on the roof.

After repairing it, Servo of course had to rummage for upgrade parts.

Zhora: "Werewolves are so weird, aliens are better."

True dat.

Paisley: "I wanted to slide down the ladder first."

Astrid: "You snooze, you lose."

Rosie is out exploring again today.

No matter where the Parsons live, she loves to head out and explore.

While all the kids are at school, Landon is doing his homework before his first day.

Jax is a pro!

He's levelled up his cooking skill to level 10, now he just needs to level up his gourmet cooking skill.

The culinary career is so hard to max out, because they only have to work just a few days out of the week.

Mackenzie: "Where can I sign up for this career?"

Landon: "You need to know how to cook first!"

Rosie is in labor!

Mackenzie: "You think I didn't hear your sly comment, kid?"

Jaxton: "Mackenzie scares me."

She should scare you, she's fought off countless things in the jungle.

Rosie: "Why is no one getting me a towel or something?"

Servo is too busy upgrading the shower.

Simmie: "We're gonna have some new kittens around here! I'm so excited!"

Elodie: "Get ready to watch this trick!"

I can't wait to see it!

Oh no, Elodie's bar trick was interrupted, Rosie gave birth to a female and a male kitten!

Introducing Sprinkles Parsons!

And Felix Parsons! They're so adorable!

Rosie: "Why don't they look like me at all?"

Elodie: "How am I ever gonna do that trick again? Why did Rosie have to interrupt me?"

Cashie: "I have kittens now?"

You sure do.

Oh my gosh, they're so cute!

Look at their wittle faces!

The solar panels might need an upgrade soon, they're getting dirty pretty often.

Evergreen Harbor seems to be just getting worse at this point. Once Paisley is a civil designer, things should turn around and change for the better.

Oh my gosh, they're so adorable!

They love each other so much.

Felix: "Do they love me?"

Of course they do.

Sprinkles: "What about me?"

Who couldn't love that fluffy little face?

Yes! Elodie is doing the trick again, I finally get to see it!

Woah!

Elodie: "Ta-da!"

That was impressive!

Why is everyone always so mad when they come home from school?

Astrid: "Would you enjoy getting told what to do all day by teachers?"
Paisley: "I thought I was the moody one."

Well, well, well, what's this? It's a soy plant! The Parsons' don't have this plant yet because it came with the new pack! Well... they don't have any plants left anymore, for that matter.

Teenagers and their dang phones, am I right?

Servo: "What's this? A new plant?"

Servo: "I've missed gardening so much!"

Paisley: "Tell Astrid to get off Simstagram!"
Astrid: "She's just mad that I have more followers than her."

Landon: "Can I have a Simstagram account?"

Not until you're old enough.

Looks like everyone is enjoying the rack of lamb that Jax made for dinner.

Even Cashie...

Elodie: "Seriously?!"
Paisley: "Get Cashie off the rack of lamb! That's so gross!"

Erick: "Eugh, I barely wanna eat anymore now. Who knows what else the cats have been doing to our food?"

Cashie: "Shut up, everyone! I can do what I want!"

Servo: "Give me strength."

Zhora was promoted today!

Zhora: "It's following me again! Tell me you can see it!"

For the last time, no one else can see 'it', you're just crazy.

Zhora: *Hiss!* "It's right there, get it away from me!"

John: *Cough, cough, cough*

John: *COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!*

Zhora: "Oh my god, it's choking John, isn't it?"

Elodie: "Why is everyone around here so crazy?"

Astrid: "It's in our DNA!"

Astrid: "Oh my gosh! It's so polluted out here!"

Astrid: *Cough, cough, cough*

Paisley needs to do something about this once she ages up ASAP.

Jax is researching advanced cooking on the computer... wait...

That doesn't look like advanced cooking to me. What are you doing, Jaxton?

Jaxton: "Mind your business."

Paisley: "Dad is really wasting our solar power on that weirdness?"

Astrid: "Did Servo upgrade this shower? It was the best shower I've had in this place."

The pets are all playing together outside!

Sprinkles: "First one inside gets to eat all the food!"

Ralphie: "Say what?! I've gotta get inside, then!"

Felix: "Get these peasants away from me."

Servo: "Who let the bar get this filthy?"

Landon: *Cough, cough* "Forget about the..." *Cough* "bar! The air is..." *Cough* "Barely breathable!"

Landon: *Wheeze*

Astrid: "I'm about to get kicked out."

Happy birthday, Astrid!

Astrid aged up into a young adult!

Astrid: "Now I can get out of Evergreen Harbor."

It's not easy caring for these bugs.

Especially the bombardier beetles. As soon as a sim has a bad interaction with them, they're set on fire!

Zhora: "Add that to the list of reasons why I don't wanna go near those bugs."

Servo: "But they're so cute!"

Servo: "How could anyone not wanna hug these adorable grubs?"

Uh oh, it's Harvestfest time!

Rosie: "You gonna share that?"

Landon: "Okay... but don't let anyone see."

The Parsons will be having the turkey for dinner instead of breakfast.

Elodie: "I can't wait for the turkey!"
Paisley: "I'm not prepared, my stomach is already full of butternut squash."

Servo: "I love you, Jax. You're not forcing me to cook the turkey, you're doing it instead."

Jaxton: "Did Servo just say he loves me?"
Servo: "I most certainly did."

Servo: "You know who I love more than anyone? This little grub right here!"

Paisley: "Servo really loves the grubs more than he loves us?"

Mackenzie is a dancing pro!

Look at those pointed feet!

Sprinkles: "I don't like dancing. Do sims dance around here all the time?"

Honey, you've got a big storm comin'.

Paisley: "This gnome had better like pie, or else I'll kick it."

Don't play with the gnomes like that, Paisley. You'll regret it.

Paisley: "What do you mean I'll regret it?"

Paisley: "I think it likes the pie, anyway."

Gnome: "I am appeased."

Paisley: "Yes! I appeased the gnome!"

You got very lucky.

Paisley: "What's that supposed to mean?"

Jax is busy preparing the turkey for tonight!

While everyone dances in perfect sync.

Zhora: "Can you smell the turkey? I can't wait to devour it and leave none left for anyone else."

Erick: "You'd better be kidding."

The Parsons hung up some solar powered Harvestfest lights!

Elodie: "I'll just practise some bar tricks until the turkey is ready."

Paisley: "I'm gonna beat anyone up who tries to eat all the turkey!"

Erick: "Harvestfest is a scary time around here."

It just got scarier, Jax is on fire again!

Jaxton: "Well that didn't go to plan, I just wanted the turkey to cook faster!"

Erick is saving the day!

Jaxton: "Now I have to cook another turkey, don't I?"

Paisley: "I don't even want to look at my dad throwing away the turkey, it's so wasteful!"

Jaxton: "Tell Paisley she can have the singed turkey instead if she wants to."

Little Sprinkles decided to explore outside. She's just like her mom.

Jaxton: "Finally, the second turkey is ready."

Bon appétit!

Now, I just have to make sure the Parsons don't eat the turkey until dinner time.

I hope I can hold them off.

Elodie: "I can drink this delicious juice until the turkey is ready. TURN UP!"

Even on Harvestfest, it's hard to ignore the horrible shape that Evergreen Harbor is in.

Paisley: "Don't remind me, it makes me mad just thinking about it!"

Jaxton: "Turkey time!"

Finally, I was getting worried the threats would start.

Rosie: "You gonna share again?"

Landon: "Now I just feel like you're using me for food."

Paisley, get off your phone and enjoy everyone's company!

Jaxton: "Ugh... teenagers."

Erick: "I'm an angel, dad. I would never use my phone during dinner, you should confiscate Paisley's phone."

Paisley: "How dare you."

Rosie: "Is no one gonna share their turkey with me?"

After dinner, Erick couldn't make it to the bathroom in time and he peed himself.

Erick: "Did you really have to tell everyone?"

Happy birthday, Erick!

Erick aged up into a young adult!

Paisley: "Let's celebrate the fact that I'm gonna be the next heiress!"

Erick: "She's lying, isn't she? I'm gonna be the next heir... right?"

Paisley: "Nope, it's me! Hooray!"

Sorry, Erick. It's true.

Erick: "Oh..."

Paisley: "Come on, why aren't you celebrating?"

Happy birthday, Paisley!

Paisley aged up into a young adult!

And she is our generation 8 heiress!

Paisley: "Are we surprised?"

Paisley: "We all saw that coming, I'm the best."
