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!

    Squee! Those chick-themed toddler jammies! :D

    > Nugget is now a rooster!

    Oh, wow! I didn't know whether or not the chicks would age up. I'm glad that they can!

    > Rylie: "Are you enjoying the garden too, Murphy?"
    > Murphy: *Howl of approval*

    Murphy looks as though he's breathing in the fresh air with relish! :)

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

    The gift-giving animation is so cute! :D Bun Bun looks adorable standing up on her hind legs.

    (I'm playing fast and loose with personal pronouns for Rylie's animal friends. Apologies if I'm using the wrong ones!)

    > Uncle Iker came over today to surprise everyone!

    I went "Ahhhhhhhhh!" at the hug between Iker and Charlie! :) I love it when Sims have extended family.

    > The chickens love hanging around Larry and Bessie.

    Who wouldn't? :)

    > Snuggles has aged up

    So, do the chicks inherit the genetic traits of their parents, or do all the chickens have generic appearances? I'm curious to know if Simmers can 'breed' chickens (and other animals) with this EP.

    > weed sucker 9000

    That's fantastic! XD

    > Can you guys see that creepy skeleton fish?

    Omigosh YES! :O What is the purpose of it?! Is it a rare breed?

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

    Oh, no!! :( Farewell, Pupcake. I loved your turned-down ear and sprinkle-topping fur.

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

    Ah, the miracle of Sim science! XD

    > Servo has levelled up his fishing skill to level 10!

    Congratulations, Servo! :) Fishing is a fun and useful skill to have.

    > Completing every base game skill in the game! I'm so proud of him!

    Way to go, Servo!! :D What an accomplishment!

    Now when I ask, 'Is there ~anything~ that robot can't do?', the answer will be literally nothing! XD

    > Even the fish are excited for Servo!

    XD Love that happy-fish dance.

    1. Those jammies are too cute, I wish they had more patterns!

      Chickens seem to be the only smaller animals that experience the full circle of life in TS4, now that I think about it. :O

      > The gift-giving animation is so cute!
      I agree, it's way too cute! :D (No worries about the pronouns, there's so many animals at this point it's hard to remember, hahaha.)

      I love having extended family around in The Sims, too! I try to have them around as much as I can, but I always seem to forget about them when I have one of the members of the household have an aspiration or career to complete. D:

      I think all chickens have random genetics, but they can be fed treats to become different colors temporarily. :)

      The skeleton fish can actually be caught! It's one of the rarer, more strange fish. There's also a fish that looks like a gummy and one that has features similar to a tree!

      We need that medicine irl, stat! xD

      I'm surprised the fish are so happy for Servo, considering he's trying to catch them!

  2. > It's time for the Finchwick Oversized Crop Fair!

    YAY!! I've been wanting to see another Fair. Good luck to Rylie and her oversized crops! :D

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

    Me too, Myles! :)

    > Rylie: "I think I just felt a kick, honey!"
    > Rylie: "Do you want to feel?"
    > Myles: "Of course I do!"

    *gaaaaasp* I'm so happy to see a pregnancy interaction in TS4! Mylie are such loving parents and partners. :)

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

    Whoa... :O That pie... doesn't really look appetizing does it? ;)

    I will be SOOO disappointed if it wins over Servo's pumpkin pie! XD

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

    You even got photographic evidence. Good job! :D

    > Myles: "You wanna try some of each other's food?"
    > Rylie: "Nope, sorry. This mushroom soup is all mine."

    Hahaha, I thought I was gonna see a 'flirt at table' interaction! XD

    > participation ribbon

    I agree that competing while in labour deserves more than a participation ribbon. XD

    > Introducing Ruby Parsons!

    I'm thrilled that Mylie have a little girl, now! :D Welcome to the world, Ruby!

    I have a question: how do you choose names for your Sims? :)

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

    Here, here! She certainly is. :)

    > Servo's aspirations

    I love how you're speeding through these aspirations, like by purchasing fridges! XD

    > Next, he'll be working on the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration!
    > After he's done making the Parsons breakfast, first.

    There's always a catch with poor Servo, isn't there? XD

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

    It's endearing, and totally in character for her, that Rylie is better at cooking for her animals than she is for humans. :)

    > Aww, grandma Yuki is the best!

    That's what grandparents are for! :)

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

    I LOVE the rainbow cow!! :D Bessie looks fantastic.

    > Bessie: "I look amazing."

    You sure do! :)

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

    That's so cute!! :O

    > Ruby looks like such a mixture of her parents.

    Yes, I can see it! I like that the two children have inherited different features.

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

    Not Marshmallow, too! :( Goodbye, rainbow kitty. I'll miss seeing your beautiful fur.

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

    Poor Servo! :( I'm upset, too.

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

    Well, he comes so often, sad to say. He must feel at home now. ;)

    > Aww, this is so sad!

    Servo! :( I just want to give you a big hug.

    > On a happier note, Rylie is pregnant again!

    I'm gonna say 'circle of life' without irony. :) It's always the way, loss followed by new growth.

    > Rest In Peace, Bun Bun.

    What?? WHAAAAT!?!? Okay, forget the circle of life. I want Bun Bun back!! D:D:D:

    > Servo has been very sad after the pet's deaths.

    I feel you, Servo. Losing Bun Bun is hitting me hard. :(

    Having said that, I really enjoyed this update! I'm gonna keep reading until I get my happy Parsons vibe back. XD Thanks for posting!

    1. Fairs are so much fun, I hope they add more events like them in the future! :)

      This is where Mylie had their first date, too! :D

      That fish pie is horrifying, to say the least. xD

      When sims all sit at a table together, a screenshot is a must!

      I had no idea how to care for oversized crops at this time, and the Oversized Crop Fair made sure to let me know, hahaha!

      Thanks for asking! I have a note on my phone with all my favorite names, and the game also has a randomize name option, so I usually pick with either of those options. :)

      > I love how you're speeding through these aspirations, like by purchasing fridges! XD
      Hahaha! That aspiration is so bizarre, why does it exist?!

      > There's always a catch with poor Servo, isn't there? XD
      Absolutely! Poor Servo can never get a break.

      Rylie may not be able to make her own pie for the Finchwick fairs, but at least she's a pro at making animal treats! xD

      If only the rainbow cows could be permanent! :D

      > Well, he comes so often, sad to say. He must feel at home now. ;)
      Hahaha, he's pretty much apart of the family!

      I still can't believe what happened to Bun Bun. The Sims can be quite unforgiving, sometimes. :(

      Thanks so much for reading! :)
