Chapter 244

Honey: "I want kittens!"

And, so it begins...

Yuki: "I always need to pee since becoming an elder."

Servo is getting close to completing the fishing skill!

Charlie: "It's the chicken's birthdays!"

Say what?

Oh my gosh, the chicks are aging up!

Nugget is now a rooster!

Clara looks so adorable while she's sleeping.

There's so many chickens to feed!

Rylie: "Does anyone want some pizza?"

Rylie, no! You can't feed chickens pizza!

Myles: "Are you ready to help mommy out in the garden today, Charlie?"
Charlie: "I can't wait!"

Larry desperately needs a clean.

Charlie: "Who are you? I thought you were supposed to be a bunny."

Mr. Bear: "I'm the temporary replacement. I match the aesthetic of the room more than Bun Bun."

Charlie: "Hahaha! Ashsefyhgetic is a funny word!"

Rylie: "These are all of mommy's oversized crops, Charlie!"

Charlie: "Are all of the plants best friends, mommy?"

Charlie: "Do they like airplanes, too?"

Rylie: "No, silly, plants don't like airplanes."

Charlie: "Huh...?"

Charlie: "But... but... who doesn't like airplanes? They're the best!"

Rylie: "Crops love the ground, because it helps them grow!"

Rylie: "Are you enjoying the garden too, Murphy?"

Murphy: *Howl of approval*

The Parsons desperately need some groceries, so Rylie headed down to Finchwick to buy some!"

Agatha Crumplebottom: "Why not buy some plant fertilizer while you're at it?"

Rylie: "That sounds like a good idea, I need some plant fertilizer before the oversized crop fair!"

Rylie: "Do you have any specials today?"

Kim Goldbloom: "Why, of course. We always do!"

Rylie: "Do you have any fertilizer that'll make oversized crops grow super, super fast?"

Agatha Crumplebottom: "We sure do, you've come to the right place!"

Bun Bun is back!

Rylie: "Hey, Bun Bun. What are you doing here?"

Bun Bun: "I have another gift just for you."

Rylie: "Aww, thank you, Bun Bun!"

Rylie: "A carrot? Isn't that what I'm supposed to be gifting you?"

Rylie is back down in the garden harvesting the plants! Harvesting this many plants helps her garden skill level up super fast.

Look who decided to join Servo while he's fishing.

Mayor Lavina: "This robot is impressive, he can do everything!"

Rylie: "I was able to purchase some plants we don't have yet from Agatha today at the garden stall."

Yay! New plants!

Uncle Iker came over today to surprise everyone!

The chickens love hanging around Larry and Bessie.

They often take naps by their side, too. They must really love and trust them.

Snuggles has aged up and is roaming inside the house, just like her parents.

Rylie's gardening skill has levelled up enough for her to use the weed sucker 9000."

Rylie: "Get out of here, ugly weeds!"

Don't forget to plant the new plants!

The swan glitch has occurred once again.

Can you guys see that creepy skeleton fish?

Servo: "Here, creepy skeleton fish. Come to Servo."

The moonlight in Henford-on-Bagley is always so beautiful.

The birbs are out early this morning helping with Rylie's garden!

So is Bun Bun!

Rylie: "Does that mean I don't have to tend to the garden today?"

Nope, sorry, you still need to take care of all the plants.

Pupcake: "I've lived a VERY long life, but it's time for me to go."

Noooooooooo! Pupcake!

Rest In Peace, Pupcake Parsons. You were a wonderful, energetic dog, and you will be dearly missed.

Grim Reaper: "Oof, this pet barn stinks!"

You have a nose under that hood?!

Larry: "Not now, Grim. I'm enjoying being brushed."

Grim wasn't wrong, what's going on with the pet houses today? Can someone get out here and clean this?!

Myles: "I'm here to the rescue."

With a rash all over your body. It's a mess around here.

Rylie: "Don't mind me, just watering my plants."

You must have gotten the rash from Myles.

Quick, drink some medicine that will somehow heal you in a split second!

Rylie: "I'm all better now!"

Bun Bun and Murphy must want to help out in the garden today.

Every time I look away, this fox is stealing an egg!

Rylie: "Ugh, I don't have time to chase him off. I'm too busy carrying around this huge belly!"

Servo: "One more fish, and I'll have completed the fishing skill."

Servo: "Well, that was quick."

Woohoo! Servo has levelled up his fishing skill to level 10! Thus, completing every base game skill in the game! I'm so proud of him!

Even the fish are excited for Servo!

It's time for the Finchwick Oversized Crop Fair!

It's lightly snowing on the fair grounds.

The crazies are all here!

Myles: "I love the Finchwick fairs so much!"

Charlie: "This is what all the fuss was about?"

This is Rylie's entry in the fair... an average sized pumpkin. Don't judge, though, she didn't have enough time to enter her current growing crops."

Rylie: "Perhaps the pumpkin pie that Servo and I baked will make up for our tiny pumpkin entry."

You mean the pie that Servo baked?

Rylie: "Hey! I kinda helped him out."

This makes me feel better, this pumpkin entry is pretty small, too.

Let the dancing begin!

Myles: "Is the legend true? Do the Parsons really dance all the time?"

Kobe: "It's true. We can out-dance anyone. It's been a tradition for 14 generations."

Rylie: "Since it's the fair, that means you have some extra special items on sale today, right?"

Agnes Crumplebottom: "That's right! We're selling items you'll only find at the Finchwick Oversized Crop Fair today!"

Charlie: "Daddy, you're horrible at dancing!"

Myles: "...Well, that was soul crushing."

Does Mayor Lavina like the Parsons pumpkin pie?

Mayor Lavina: "Maybe, maybe not..."

Rylie: "I've been resisting the urge to eat that pie the entire fair."

Rylie: "I think I just felt a kick, honey!"

Rylie: "Do you want to feel?"

Myles: "Of course I do!"

Aww, so cute!

Rylie: "Can you feel our little bean kicking?"

Myles: "I sure can! They're super strong already!"

Rylie: "They're already dancing before they're out of the womb."

*Kiss*

Myles: "I love you, honey."

Rylie: "I love you more, my love."

Myles: *Blows horn!*

Myles: "I brought a horn to encourage other sims to vote for our oversized crop. You think it'll work?"

Rylie: "I don't think bursting sim's ear drums is gonna make them vote for us, babe."

Rylie: "Besides, our entry may be small, but it's amazing just as it is."

Myles: "I agree, sweetie. Let me know if you need the horn, though."

These sims are having a toast next to one of the entries, I wonder what it is?

...What... the heck... is that...?

Rylie: "Could I please have one bowl of mushroom soup?"

Sara Scott: "Coming right up!"

Rylie: "This is delicious."

It's a miracle, my sims are sitting at the same table to eat while at a public venue!

Myles: "You wanna try some of each other's food?"

Rylie: "Nope, sorry. This mushroom soup is all mine."

Yuki: "Could I please have some fish and chips? I've been dancing for hours."

Agnes Crumplebottom: "I just witnessed some sims flirting within a 700 meter radius of me!"

After eating, the Parsons have regained their energy to dance the night away.

Kobe: "Myles can't keep up."
Myles: "I know..."

Rylie: *Yawn* "I'm getting tired, when are they gonna start counting up the scores?"

Rylie: "So... Mayor Lavina... are you gonna tell me I won the Oversized Crop Fair, yet?"

Mayor Lavina: "We're still counting up the scores."

Rylie: "Alrighty, I'll just wait over here... wait... I think my water broke. Aww, man. I wanted to go home and take a nap after this."

Myles: "Did you just say your water broke?! At the Oversized Crop Fair?!"

Rylie: "That can wait, they're about to announce the scores!"

Mayor Lavina: "Congratulations, you guys have earned a participation ribbon!"

Myles: "My wife is in labor! What do I do?!"

Yuki: "Are you kidding me?! A participation ribbon?!"
Rylie: "Oh, come on! We didn't even place in the top three?!"

Welp... that was bad.

Rylie: "I guess I should deliver this baby, now."

Rylie: "Oof, this hurts!"

Rylie: "Wait... I think the sparkles are coming!"

*Sparkles!*

It's a girl! 💖 Introducing Ruby Parsons!

Rylie: "She's perfect!"

Rylie: "She's better than any first place ribbon could ever be."

Myles: "We're so happy to finally meet you after waiting three long days, little one."

Why does Marshmallow always sleep like this instead of sleeping like a normal cat?

Since Servo has completed most of the skills in the game and the rest of the skills require him to travel on vacation, he has decided to focus on completing all of the aspirations in the game! (Except for the aspirations that require eating, since robots can't eat and there's no mods to support it.)

After easily completing the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration, since the Parsons have earned over three million simoleons without cheats, Servo is completing the Mansion Barron aspiration. This aspiration requires him to own 30 windows and 20 collumns for some reason.

It also requires him to have a home worth over 350,000 simoleons. Since the home is worth less than that, I had to purchase a bunch of these fridges. They were the most expensive thing I could find in the catalogue.

Okay, he has completed the aspiration, so I can clean up all those fridges.

Next, he'll be working on the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration!

After he's done making the Parsons breakfast, first.

Maybe he can even collect all of the paintings in the game, eventually?

Rylie: "I got some ingredients from the Oversized Crop Fair that I can use to make some special animal treats!"

Rylie: "The animals are gonna love these treats!"

Aww, this painting is adorable!

These oversized crops are looking a lot larger than the last ones.

Aww, grandma Yuki is the best!

Feeding time for the chickens!

How the heck did Clara get so dirty?

Rylie: "I really want to learn how to make a rainbow animal treat. Maybe I'll have some luck today by checking the stalls to see if they're selling rainbow animal treats!"

Rylie: "Alright, here goes!"

Please have rainbow pet treats, PLEASE!

Success! Rylie obtained a rainbow pet treat!

Rylie: "You enjoying being brushed, Bessie?"

Bessie: "Moo! I sure am!"

Rylie: "That's great!"

Rylie: "I have something you'll enjoy even more, though..."

Rylie: "A wonderful rainbow treat!"

Finally! I've been waiting to see a rainbow cow in game!

Rylie: "What if she's not okay with this? Do you not remember when Larry spit on me when I turned him pink?!"

Relax, she loves it. Don't you, Bessie?

Bessie: "I look amazing."

Rylie: "Aww, I'm so happy you like it, Bessie!"

Rylie: "You might even have some rainbow milk the next time I milk you!"

Honey: "Follow me, peasants."

What the heck is going on here?

Rylie: "Maybe I'll be able to find some crops down at Bramblewood today and complete part of my aspiration?"

Why aren't the crops ever growing here?!

Ooh, I found a chocoberry bush!

There's some chocoberries near the ruins, too.

Who knew this would be the place to search for plants?

Rylie: "I found another crop! Hopefully the next time I come back here, I'll be able to find some more."

Of course, Rylie had to pay Sally the snail a visit.

Rylie: "Sally the snail is an icon."

Rylie: "Maybe I'll leave a little present for another sim to find here later on..."

A cute tradition in Henford-on-Bagley is that the townies leave gifts for each other by Sally the snail.

Ruby's diaper days have flown by and she has aged up into a toddler!

Rylie: "Come to mommy, Ruby!"

Rylie: "You did it!"

Rylie: "I'm not surprised, she's smart like her mommy."

She's so adorable! She looks like such a mixture of her parents.

Ruby: "Is it lunch time, yet?"

Myles: "Here you go, Ruby. A ham and cheese sandwich for lunch!"

Ruby: "A ham and cheese sandwich?"

Ruby: "But, I like peanut butter and jelly."

Kobe is living his best elder life in this citrus bath.

Ruby: "Are you my brother's favorite toy?"

Mr. Bear: "Don't know, don't care."

Ruby: "Can you help me wake him up? He's napping on my bed!"

Mr. Bear: "Let me reiterate: don't care."

After all the busyness and craziness has settled down around here, Myles can get back to cross-stitching.

Servo has been painting a bunch of paintings, he'll be finished with this aspiration in no time.

Since it's warming up, Clara doesn't need her warm chicken outfit anymore.

I don't know why this picture is so funny to me.

I've been trying to have these two complete their logic skill, but it's so hard since they're retired. They're always super stressed since they have the 'Workaholic' lifestyle. It's very annoying.

Marshmallow: "I've lived a long life, but it's time for me to go."

Noooooooooo! Not both Marshmallow and Pupcake in one chapter!

Rest In Peace, Marshmallow Parsons. You were a lovely, wonderful cat, and you will be dearly missed.

Honey: "Wait... what's going on?"

Servo: "No! Not one of the pets!"

Yuki: "I don't wanna play chess anymore, I'm super stressed about being retired again."

Kobe: "Now that you mention it, so am I."

Oh, come on!

Servo is painting his feelings after Marshmallow and Pupcake's deaths.

Meanwhile, Grim is washing up the Parsons dirty dishes in the bathroom sink. How thoughtful.

Aww, this is so sad!

On a happier note, Rylie is pregnant again!

Bessie is gonna have some very interesting milk today!

Larry: "All the attention has been on Bessie this chapter. I'd like it back on me, thank you."

Ruby: "I'm hungry, someone come upstairs and carry me to my highchair right now!"

Kobe: "Why did I have to be the one to come all the way up here?"

Bun Bun is so sweet, she's always helping out in the garden!

Looks like Murphy has a new little friend.

Oh my gosh! This fox just attacked Bun Bun! Nooooooooooooo! Rest In Peace, Bun Bun. You were a lovely little bunny, and you will be dearly missed.

Rylie: "Your rainbow fur is so adorable and colorful!"

Bessie: "I know, right?"

Rylie: "Alright, let's get milk some rainbow milk!"

The rainbow milk looks so cool!

Rylie: "There you go, Bessie!"
Bessie: "Moo!"

Bessie is back to normal after getting milked.

Ooh, the rainbow milk looks so cool in the bottle, too!

Servo has been very sad after the pet's deaths. He even painted the tragic clown.

On the bright side, the oversized crops are ready to harvest, and they look amazing!
