Chapter 199

Brynlee: "What do you think of the sweater I knitted, Servo?"

Servo: "It's beautiful, you did a great job!"

Brynlee: "Oh, why, thank you. Would you wear it yourself?"

Servo: "If I ever decided to wear clothes, that sweater would be the first thing I wore."

Brynlee: "Hahaha, I'm flattered!"

Brynlee: "Should this be my new cold weather outfit, then?"

Servo: "You could make any sweater look good."

Servo: "That came out wrong - I didn't mean the sweater was ugly or anything, I meant-"

Brynlee: "Relax, Servo, I understood. Thank you for your wonderful compliments. Shall we knit together?"

Servo: "I thought you'd never ask."

Brynlee: "Let's knit some cute little decorations."

After knitting some 'cute little decorations', Brynlee ate some breakfast. Yes, the Parsons are still eating the leftover grand meal.

Emmie: "I want to eat the leftover grand meal, too."

Pippa: "I shall sit on top of the fridge and demand someone feed me the grand meal."

Nice try.

Emmie began playing with the knitting basket.

Emmie: "Why would you put these toys so far out of my reach?"

Because they're not toys, they're balls of yarn. You have your own box of toys.

Emmie: "But, these look way more fun!"

Clearly, cats will play with anything other than their toys.

Oop, looks like she managed to get some of the yarn balls out of the knitting basket. Let's make sure Brynlee doesn't find out.

Brynlee: "Hm? Find out what?"

Uh... nothing...

Isaac: "Hey, Brynlee!"

Brynlee: "Hey, Isaac. You here to swim during the winter again?"

Isaac: "You betcha."

*Splash*

Isaac: "It's freezing in here."

Brynlee: "I don't know how you do it."

Isaac: "Me either... so... cold..."

Do not try this at home!

Brynlee: "Let's hope I don't have to thaw him out by the time he's finished."

He's swimming laps like it's nothing!

Brynlee: "If only I was a bit more athletic like him."

Brynlee: "Hey, I got another buyer on Plopsy!"

Brynlee: "It's a lot harder than I expected to sell items on Plopsy."

Brynlee: "I guess I'll have to step up my game. These sims expect excellence."

Isaac has finished swimming for the day.

Isaac: "That was a pretty good swimming session. I didn't freeze, after all!"

Hooray!

Once Monster realised what the outside world was truly like, he came running back home at the speed of light. I bet he'll never run away ever again.

Isaac: "See, Brynlee? You didn't have to thaw me out after all. I'm just immune to the cold, I guess."

Brynlee: "Hey, what's that over there?"

Isaac: "Huh? Where?"

Brynlee: "Let's see if I have to thaw you out after this! Hehehe..."

Isaac: "I don't see anything. What are you talking about-"

Isaac: "Ow!"

Oh, snap!

Isaac: "What the heck?! I can't feel my face again!"

Brynlee: "Hahahahaha, gotcha!"

Brynlee: "Not so immune to the cold now, are you?"

Isaac: "Hahahahaha, alright, you got me!"

Isaac: "Brr.. it's freezing!"

Brynlee: "You look pretty cute with snow all in your hair."

Isaac: "I do?"

Brynlee: "Well, you actually look cute all the time."

Isaac: "I think we should head somewhere else if you're going to flirt with me, your family is directly right behind us."

Brynlee: "Is this a better place to flirt?"

Isaac: "Yeah, it's much better."

Aren't these two so adorable?

Isaac: "If you were a Transformer..."

Isaac: "You'd be Optimus Fine."

Brynlee: "Is your name Google?"

Brynlee: "Because you have everything I've been searching for."

Isaac: "Do you like Star Wars? Because Yoda only one for me."

Brynlee: "Could you tell the rude townie to stop trying to butt into our private conversation?"

I'm on it.

GET OUT OF HERE, YOU ABOMINATION TO SOCIETY!

Townie: "But, I wanna join another sim's conversation for no reason at all."

Isaac: "You've got my mind spinning more than this annoying spinner!"

Brynlee: "That was smooth."

Brynlee: "Who do you think has the best pick-up lines?"

Isaac: "Me, of course! That's why I'm celebrating!"

Brynlee: "I really like you, Isaac... like... a lot."

Isaac: "I really like you too, Brynlee."

Brynlee: "You do?"

Brynlee: "Do you like me enough to..."

Isaac: "Enough to what...?"

Brynlee: "To do this...?"

*Kiss*

Isaac: "Of course I do!"

Brynlee: "I'm sorry, was that too sudden?"

Isaac: "No, it definitely wasn't. I've actually been waiting for you to do that."

Brynlee: "Really? Aww, Isaac! We should do something romantic, like taking a walk to the dumpster."

Wow, so romantic!

Isaac: "You have a little something on your face."

Brynlee: "I do?"

Isaac: "Yeah, it's adorableness."

Brynlee: "Oh, stop it, you."

Isaac: "So, are we together now? Like, boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Brynlee: "I thought you'd never ask, of course we are!"

Isaac: "I'm so excited!"

Brynlee: "Me too! Ah!"

Mandatory couple selfie!

Brynlee: "I can't wait until we're married and you become apart of my crazy family!"

Isaac: "Say what?"

Brynlee: "Hehehe, it'll be amazing!"

Brynlee: "Now you're stuck with me!"

Isaac: "I wouldn't want it any other way."

*Kiss*

Yay! I'm so happy these two are official, Isaac will make a great addition to the family.

Brynlee: "You think we should head home now?"

Isaac: "Yes, I'm freezing!"

Looks like the snow is clearing up already in Evergreen Harbor.

It was nice while it lasted!

Gage: "Where the heck have you two been?"

Brynlee: "What do you mean?"
Isaac: "We haven't been anywhere..."

Brynlee: "Oh, I know! We were at the neighbor's house... uh... sorting out their shoelace collection!"
Isaac: "She's such a bad liar."

You really expect a goody-two-shoes to be a good liar?

Gage: "Mmhmmm..."

Elijah: "They better not have been kissing by the dumpster."

Caitlyn: "She's definitely lying."

Caitlyn made some delicious grilled fruit for everyone! The Parsons haven't had grilled fruit in a while.

Brynlee: "I have to knit over here, Isaac is enjoying the rocking chair a little too much."

Isaac: "I love the wonderful swinging motions."

For Servo's next skill, he's attempting maxing out the pet training skill. Wish him luck!

Servo: "Alright, Nova, sit."

Nova: "Hm?"

Servo: "Come on, you can do it, sit!"

Nova: "Sit?"

Nova: "You mean like this?"

Servo: "Yes, exactly like that! Great job, Nova!"

Isaac: "How the heck did my mom find out I was kissing Brynlee near the dumpster?!"

Elijah: "That's what you two get for lying."

Isaac: "I'll go for a quick jog. Hopefully everyone forgets about what happened by the time I get back."

The New Year's TV is on!

Isaac: "Are you gonna knit during the countdown?"
Brynlee: "There's no other way I'd rather enter the new sim year."

Caitlyn: "It's getting late, I'm so tired."
Gage: "Me too... I'm trying to keep my eyes open."

Elijah: "Hehe, they're joking about chicken butts again."

Pippa aged up into an elder!

So did Monster! They're both still just as crazy as ever, though.

Everyone: "Shashoobee!"

Everyone: "Woohoo! Happy New Year!"

Aww, so cute!

Gage: "Happy New Year, Caitlyn! Let's hug from all the way across the room!"
Caitlyn: "Great idea, dad!"
Servo: "What the heck is going on here?"

*Kiss*

Happy birthday, Brynlee!

Brynlee aged up into a young adult!

Isaac: "She's the generation 10 heiress, right?"

Yep, that's right! We have our generation 10 heiress!

Happy birthday, Isaac!

Isaac aged up into a young adult!

Isaac: "Aww, man. I didn't instantly gain any muscles."

Emmie: "You gotta earn those muscles, that's why!"

Isaac: "The cat is right."

What better way to celebrate your birthday than eating grilled fruit?

It's nutritious, after all.

Brynlee registered her career as a Knitter with the ministry of labor! Her career will be to knit items and sell them on Plopsy!

Isaac joined the athlete career! Hooray!

I installed a mod which allows the 'work from home' option for all base game careers, so we'll be able to watch the Parsons in their jobs every step of the way.

Servo: "Alright, Nova, just like yesterday, sit!"

Nova: "Look at me, I'm sitting!"

Great job, Nova!

This deserves some play time for sure!

Servo: "Wait, one more thing! Show everyone the other trick you learnt, roll over!"

Nova: "Like this?"

Aww, yay! She did it!

Servo: "I'm so proud!"

Since Isaac joined the athlete career, the athletic skill isn't the only skill he's gonna need to learn.

He'll also need to work on his charisma skill.

Isaac: "Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7, 8, 9!"

Isaac: "HAHAHAHAHA!"

Wow, what a great joke. The charisma skill is one of my least favorite skills, it takes so long to level it up! I guess he'll be here talking to himself in the mirror for a while.

  1. Servo's compliments to Brynlee are sweet. :)

    I love the realism of Emmie pulling balls of yarn out of the bag!

    Phew! Monster is back. Prolly just sowing more wild oats. ;)

    Ahhh, first kiss! :) I love their relationship. Well, maybe not the dumpster part, but they were terribly romantic up to that point. :D Isaac will make a great legacy spouse.

    Okay, the couple selfie kinda makes up for the dumpster. ;)

    Good luck, Servo, with those pet training skills! You've got some great pets to work with.

    Congratulations on your Generation 10 heiress!! :D That's such an accomplishment. Now, roll on, Gen 11!

    1. Brynlee appears to be the most friendly Parsons family member towards Servo. xD

      I've been trying to catch one of the cats playing with the yarn basket ever since I got the Nifty Knitting pack. I kept noticing balls of yarn all around the basket, so I was determined to capture it! Emmie finally played with the yarn basket in front of me, and I was so excited to get some screenshots!

      I knew Monster would be back in a flash, he looked like he'd seen some things when he returned, though. xD

      Their relationship was so wholesome until the dumpster! xD So far, that's THREE generations having their first woohoo in a dumpster! We can just blame that on Evergreen Harbor, though. xD

      The pet training skill is one of my favorite so far, it's so adorable!

      Thank you so much, I'm so glad we finally made it to Generation 10! Generation 11 will be here in no time! :D

      Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

  2. You may have figured this out but here's a few tips about the charisma skill - if you got the points, get great kisser and kiss your way through the skill - it moves much faster. If not, at level 2 create a social networking profile on the computer - then update status repeatedly - it's faster than the mirror and even more so if you are confident.

    Take some classes at university can help as well. But my favorite and quickest way has been to get to level 2, then throw a dinner party. Do the tasks to get a gold but invite at least 5 sims - circulate and just keep spamming brighten day, complement outfit and eventually flatter. Let the party end naturally - don't end early and make sure you are on the sim that needs the skill when the party ends (also only let that sim be the host) - you get a HUGE rush of charisma skill gain from that. Even more extreme if you are on a tiny home lot.

    Those are some better ways than standing in front of the mirror and they go much faster!

    1. Wow, those are some great tips, thank you so much! I'll definitely be trying these out, the charisma skill is required for so many careers and I had no idea about any of this, I only knew about the mirror and the few social interactions that increase charisma.

  3. and i forgot - use the convivial lot trait as well!
