Chapter 245

Hooray! Kobe has finally reached level 10 of the logic skill! I didn't think it would be possible since he's always stressed because he's retired but loves working.

After completing the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration, I want Servo complete the Academic aspiration, which focuses on completing university degrees, which will help Servo once he decides to complete every career. It's a win-win! Servo is sending off his university applications, but we'll have to wait a few days to hear back from them.

That's a whole lot of chickens.

Aww, so cute!

Ruby: "I love hugs!"

Charlie: "Me too!"

Woohoo! Myles has maxed out the cross-stitching skill!

Ruby: "Do you think mommy and daddy will let us outside and play with the chickens?"

Charlie: "I think so! I love the chickens!"

Townie: "Could I please prank your toilet?"

Servo: "Knock yourself out. I don't use it, only these ungrateful sims do."

Rylie! Get out here and harvest these oversized crops!

Rylie: "Why, oh why did they have to finish growing after the Oversized Crop Fair?"

Murphy: "My ear is super itchy."
Fox: "You think I'll be able to steal one of the eggs?"

Leave the eggs and the chickens alone!

Townie: "My work here is done. Enjoy your pranked toilet."

Kobe: "Seriously? Where did this townie come from?"

The details don't matter, the toilet is now pranked and there's no going back until someone flushes it.

Honey: "Hey! Over here!"

Honey: "Can I haz some, please?"

Happy birthday, Charlie!

Charlie aged up into a child!

A rare occurrence: a Parsons child happy to be aging up and going to school.

Are y'all down here for the birthday party or for the breakfast Servo made?

The glow orb plant is the Parsons' first alien plant. It looks so cool! The Parsons definitely need more alien plants, but I believe they can only be obtained by going to Sixam or from one of the food stalls.

Honey, stop playing with the chicken food!

Honey: "But, it's so much fun to play in!"

Nugget: "Why is the cat playing in my food?"

Nugget: "STAHP!"
Honey: "No!"

Servo is on animal care duty today.

As is Kobe. Rylie is too busy visiting Bramblewood trying to harvest some plants.

Rylie: "Do you think the plants will be ready to harvest today?

Nope, they're not ready once again. Maybe you could purchase some more animal clothes, since you came all the way down here?

Rylie: "Hi, Creature Keeper! Do you have anymore animal outfits I could purchase?"

Creature Keeper: "I always do, I have better outfits than you'll find anywhere on Plopsy."

Fox: "I agree. I got this outfit from the Creature Keeper."

It's very fitting, you egg stealing bunny attacker!

Servo is down at the gallery in Willow Creek completing part of his Painter Extraordinaire aspiration.

He has to view three paintings.

Servo: "This painting is very interesting."

Servo: "Hey, this painting has given me some inspiration for my next painting!"

Servo: "This painting looks like a combination of all of our chickens and roosters back at home."

Wow, it really does.

Afterwards, Rylie decided to head down to Finchwick to purchase some more plants and groceries.

There's always really good gardening supplies being sold at Agnes and Agatha's garden stall.

Rylie: "Alright, now to buy some groceries."

The Parsons desperately need groceries since they have the 'Simple Living' lot trait.

The Parsons bathroom curse has returned once again.

Yuki: "Why did I have to clean that up?! That was awful!"

The Parsons have been reading a lot recently, since they don't have a TV on this lot.

Poor Rylie has been down in the garden all day, she has to fertilise all of the new plants so they can grow into perfect quality.

Ruby: "I just woke up from my nap!"

Aww, so cute!

Once again, Rylie is down in Bramblewood at an ungodly hour this time. Apparently, the plants in Bramblewood grow somewhere between 5-6AM, and remaining on the lot before that time increases the chances that they'll grow, so Rylie is out here at 3AM so she will be able to harvest these plants. Let's hope it's worth it!

Excuse me while I admire the beauty of Bramblewood.

It's so pretty at night time!

There's so many beautiful trees and lights!

Please... I'm begging of you to grow before 6AM.

You too.

Rylie: "Well, since I'll be here all night, I might as well have a little snack."

Rylie: "Please help me retain my energy, grilled fruit."

You can't go wrong with some grilled fruit.

Rylie: "No kidding. It's my favorite food ever!"

A true Parsons.

Rylie: *Munch, munch*

Really, Rylie? That wasn't enough?

Rylie: "What? I began craving baked potatoes."

Please grow already before she begins making another meal!

Oh my gosh, it's a miracle! Some mushrooms have grown up on the hill!

Don't even think about harvesting any of the plants, townie.

Rylie: "I didn't even get to finish my baked potatoes!"

Rylie: "I just might complete part of my aspiration tonight."

I sure hope so!

Another plant is ready to harvest! Finally!

And another one! Thank gosh this all wasn't for nothing.

Rylie: "I guess being here since 3AM was worth it... even though I'm exhausted."

Another plant has grown!

After harvesting those plants, Rylie has completed one of the final parts of her aspiration! The final, final part is winning one of the Finchwick Fair competitions. The llama fair is coming up next, and I have complete faith in Larry to win first place!

Upon arriving home, Rylie went into labor!

Rylie: "Oof!"

Rylie: "Why does this always hurt?!"

Rylie: "Wait... I feel the sparkles coming."

*Sparkles!*

It's a girl! 💖 Introducing Kari Parsons!

Rylie: "Are you hungry? Here you go, little one."

Since Rylie is busy with the baby, Yuki is helping out with the animals today. She seems very excited about that.

Yuki: "Hey... Bessie is actually pretty friendly."

Yuki: "Now I know why Rylie loves animals so much! You want some treats, girl? Here you go."

Charlie is helping out with the chickens.

He's even cleaning their coops. He's doing a good job taking care of the chickens!

Charlie: "A blue egg? Cool!"

Ruby: "Eggs can be blue?"

Eggs come in all different colors! In TS4, not in real life.

Ruby: "Hi, chicken! Do you wanna be best friends?"

Cluckers: "Excuse you, I'll have you know that I'm not a chicken, thank you very much. I'm a rooster."

Ruby: "Hehe! Chickens are funny."
Cluckers: "I'm not a chicken!!!"

Ruby: "Do you like butterflies, Mr. Chicken?"

Ruby: "Butterflies have wings like chickens!"

Ruby: "Are butterflies and chickens cousins since they both have wings?"

Nope, but chickens did, however, descend from dinosaurs.

Rylie couldn't resist checking up on the animals at least once today.

What the heck is going on down here?! Where are all the plants?! This glitch drives me nuts.

Rylie's plants that she purchased from Agatha are ready to be planted! The Parsons garden doesn't have these plants, yet.

A few new plants came with Cottage Living. I can't wait for the Parsons to discover and plant them all!

Myles: "Snuggles still gives the best snuggles."

Woohoo! Servo has been accepted into a distinguished degree at Foxbury University! His first degree will be computer science!

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

Yuki has been obsessed with the animals since discovering how adorable and sweet they are!

Myles: "They also give the best, most fluffiest hugs!"

Woohoo! Servo has completed the 'Painter Extraordinaire' aspiration!

Now, he can focus on his university degree while completing the 'Academic' aspiration.

He has a lot of studying to do...

...and a lot of homework.

Noooooooooo! Don't take Clara!

This is the first farm animal death, this is so sad!

Clara, nooooooooooo!

Rest In Peace, Clara Parsons. You were a wonderful chicken, and you will be dearly missed.

Honey: "What the heck is that?!"

It's a chicken! You see them multiple times a day!

Honey: "That doesn't make them any less creepy!"

Rylie: "Could some pets and pampering cheer you up?"

Honey: "Maybe..."

Rylie: "Aww, you're such a cutie pie!"

Looks like Honey is feeling better after being scared of the chickens.

Servo has been doing homework non-stop. If anyone is going to do well in university, it's going to be him!

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

Myles: "Come here, Kari! You can do it!"

Kari: "I'm walking!"

Myles: "You did it!"

We all know why we're gathered here today.

Rylie is pregnant again!

It's a miracle. All sims, robots and animals are asleep.

Ruby: "Will we get in trouble if we let the chickens in the house?"

Kari: "Nope! The chickens are always in the house!"

I love the circular table, it's so sweet when the family sits around it together.

Rylie is back to doing most of the animal care this morning.

For university, Servo will have to complete a presentation. He'll also have to write a term paper and sit two final exams.

In case you're wondering what the inside of a watermelon looks like, apparently this is it. Where the heck is all the watermelon?!

Myles: "No one was wondering what the inside of a watermelon looked like in the first place."

I know...

Murphy desperately needed a bath, and Kobe was picked as the lucky winner to bathe him and be splashed with water.

Kobe: "Ugh, Murphy! Stop it!"

Rylie: "Oversized lettuce selfie!"

Rylie: "I'm so proud of my crops!"

Rylie: "Ugh, do I really have to tend to the garden while having morning sickness?"

Sorry, but yes, yes you do.

The Parsons are growing another alien plant! I think they'll need their own separate plots. They look very unique.

Get out of here, you thief!

Happy birthday, Ruby!

Rylie: "No more diapers!"

Ruby aged up into a child!

Ruby: "Does that mean I can help take care of the farm now?"

Yep! Another family member to help take care of the farm! At first, it was only Rylie caring for the farm.

Let the presentation preparations begin.

Oh no, poor Murphy is sick.

Servo: "Don't worry, Murphy. I'll craft you a pet cure and then get back to my presentation preparations."

Servo really is the hero of the Parsons family, even though he doesn't get enough credit for it.

Servo: "Here you go, Murphy."

He looks much better already!

Honey: "Until he gets fleas."

Murphy: "Fleas? Never heard of 'em."

Wow, Servo's presentation is looking amazing!

Murphy, stop being adorable and trying to distract Servo from his presentation!

Rylie: "Pumpkin pie for breakfast? Don't mind if I do."

Kobe: "Aww, man! I thought I was gonna have all the pumpkin pie to myself if I snuck down here early enough!

Ruby: "The joke's on grandpa, I already ate the entire pumpkin pie."

The Parsons have also been eating a whole lot of pizza, since they have the 'Simple Living' lot trait and Rylie is a vegetarian. It's not very easy.

Kari: "My superhero toy is gonna save the world one day!"

Kobe: "And this inspired potion is supposed to save me from being tense?"

We can hope.

Kobe: "It didn't work. I'm still stressed from not working."

Oh, come on! You need to max out your logic and charisma skills!

Rylie: "Hellooo? Did you forget about me? I've been down here gardening for hours, I need to pee!"

Reading, reading and more reading!

Kobe: "Once upon a time, there lived a crazy family..."

Kari: "Is book this about our family, grandpa?"

Rylie: "I still need to pee, you know!"

Guess who had a good day at school and who had a bad day?

The new plants need the most care, since they need to reach perfect quality.

Murphy: "The chicken is in the house!"

Nugget: "I own this house. I'm also a rooster, not a chicken."

Fox: *Wink* "Guess who just stole another egg from the chicken coop?"

Stop stealing eggs, you thief!

The plants have finally returned back to normal.

Rylie: "I gotta pee! And I'm in labor!"

Myles: "You need to pee again?!"

Myles has his priorities straight.

Rylie: "Why does this always hurt?!"

What the heck?! An alien baby?! It's a girl! 💖 Introducing Kelly Parsons!

Rylie: "Looks like mommy's recessive alien genes are still going strong, huh?"

I had no idea the Parsons still had alien genes. There hasn't been an alien in the family for generations.

Myles: "I think daddy's recessive alien genes are also strong."

You're part alien, too?! I guess if any two sims who are part alien have a baby, there's a chance of a full alien baby being born.

Rylie: "My adorable little alien baby!"

I wasn't expecting this, but she's adorable!

Myles: "Are you hungry? Here you go."

Servo has almost finished his term paper for university.

Oh my gosh, the ducks in the pond have had little baby ducks! I didn't know this was possible!

Will the swans have swan babies next?

The Finchwick Llama Fair is taking place later today, so Larry needs to be prepared!

First thing's first, a nice brush.

Next, his DJ Larry outfit needs to make a comeback. This will earn him some extra points for sure!

Some groceries have arrived!

Ruby is very excited about being able to help out on the farm.

Ruby: "Feeding time, chickens!"

To no surprise, the fox is near the chicken coop again. He needs to go away!

Rylie headed down to Finchwick before the llama fair began to purchase some last minute animal treat ingredients. 

Rylie: "Larry is gonna be the most stylish llama Henford-on-Bagley has ever seen!"

Rylie: "Now, to make some animal treats."

Rylie: "Do you want some special animal treats, Matilda?"

Matilda: "This is delicious."

Wow, Matilda is loving the spicy animal treats Rylie made.

Ruby: "Do you think Larry will like the spicy animal treats, mommy?"

Rylie: "I hope so, I don't want to get llama spit on me again."

Rylie: "Ooh, the birbs have a gift for me?"

Rylie: "More garden fertilizer? Thank you, birbs!"

Spring has sprung on the farm!

Rylie: "I have some special animal treats just for you, Larry. This is sure to help us win the llama fair!"

Rylie: "Hey, they worked! Do you like your new stylish orange wool, Larry?"

Larry: "I look fabulous."

Rylie decided to make some flirty animal treats for Matilda, which will make her more fertile and hopefully give us an orange hatchable egg!

Rylie: "I have another treat for you, Matilda!"

Matilda is loving all these extra treats, too.

Rylie: "Now, we have an orange llama, and we might have an orange chicken!"

Rylie: "Are you ready for the llama fair, Larry?"
Larry: "Of course I am! I'm ready to win this thang!"

It's time for the Finchwick Llama Fair!

The fair grounds are all set up and they're looking amazing!

Rylie: "I'm so excited, I've been waiting for the llama fair for so long!"

Larry looks fabulous.

Rylie also entered some rainbow llama wool in the wool competition.

Rylie: "This is sure to earn us some bonus points, not that we need them. Larry is already stylish enough as it is."

Looks like another sim entered some teal wool.

Mayor Lavina: "I must say, Rylie, your llama is truly fabulous. You've really pulled out all the stops this time!"

Rylie: "I'm glad my efforts haven't gone unnoticed this time."

This fellow competitor is also fabulous, but not as fabulous as Larry.

Larry: "Facts."

Townie: "Why is this llama dressed better than me?"

Ruby: "You're definitely gonna win today, Larry!"

Rylie: "Do you think we have a good shot at winning today, Ruby?"

Ruby: "I think we're 100% gonna win, mommy!"

Rylie couldn't resist taking a look at the sales that are only available during the llama fair.

The Parsons also decided to have dinner at the pub nearby.

While Larry snacks on some grass.

Alright, enough eating. Back to the competition, y'all!

The competition is strong!

I still have complete faith in Larry to win, though!

No one dances like the Parsons!

Who could possibly compete with these sims?

Now, the whole town is dancing!

Mayor Lavina: "The moment you've all been waiting for! The winner of the first place prize is... Larry!"

Rylie: "I finally won first place at a Finchwick Fair! I'm honored!"

Woohoo! By winning the Finchwick Llama Fair, Rylie has also completed her aspiration 'Country Caretaker'! I'm so proud of her!

Larry's first place ribbon shall be proudly displayed on his animal shed!

Rylie: *Yawn* "All that winning has me tired."

After a well deserved win, it's time for bed.
