Chapter 250

Ruby: "Ugh! Why do I always need to pee since being pregnant?!"

For Servo's aspiration, he needs to contribute knowledge on a research archive machine.

He definitely has a lot of knowledge to offer.

Nothing to see here, just two sims eating pizza for breakfast on a séance table.

How the heck are these swans swimming on a frozen pond?

This angry specter will not leave the Parsons alone.

Woah, are you carrying twins in there?

Ruby: "Don't say that!"

The daily boogie session!

Ruby is back in her van today.

Ruby: "Nothing like being in a tiny bathroom with beads for a door."

Ruby: "I wonder if I can find any collectibles around the park."

Ruby: "Maybe some frogs reside in this log?"

Ruby: "They do!"

Ruby: "There's more collectibles here than there is in Forgotten Grotto."

Ruby: "These are so hard to extract!"

Ruby: "I see another froggy log!"

Ruby: "Hmm... any froggies in here?"

Welp... looks like this was the huge life changing event that this sim's great-grandmother was referring to.

Look who it is... Kelly!

Making burgers during heavy snow does not look fun.

Ruby: "It's not."

Are those burning?

Ruby: "Have a little faith in me."

Ruby: "I can't believe you thought I burnt the burgers."

Well, the Parsons don't have the best track record when it comes to cooking.

Ruby: "True dat."

Bummer. Servo isn't around to repair the toilet for you.

Ruby is at her next paranormal investigator gig in San Myshuno!

Townie: "Are you the paranormal investigator."
Ruby: "I sure am!"

Ruby: *Knock, knock*

Ruby: "Do you think they'll let me use the bathroom and nap in their bed while I'm here? I didn't nap for long enough at home!"

This is a huge apartment!

Ruby: *Yawn* "I wonder if I'll have the energy to perform a house cleanse."

Ruby: "Please don't take my energy during this séance, ghosties."

Ruby: "They took all of it, I need some coffee!"

Ruby: "I hope I don't pass out!"

Ruby: *Gulp*

Ruby: "Oh my gosh, I think my water just broke! Oww, this hurts!"

Okay, you're definitely gonna have to go home early from this gig. That means your job performance will take a hit, though.
Ruby: "Well, that's not fair! I'm in labor!"

Ruby: "Alright, I'm home. Time to give birth to this baby."

While Ruby was out, Servo graduated university! He now has a distinguished degree in Computer Science! I'm so proud of him!

Ruby: "I think the sparkles are about to happen."

*Sparkles!*

It's a boy! 💙 Introducing Terrance Parsons!

Ruby: "I can't believe I actually had twins."

Wait... what?!

Twins! It's a girl! 💖 Introducing Lilliana Parsons!

Ruby: "They're both perfect! Just like me."

Looks like I was right, Ruby had twins!

After earning his degree, Servo got a career as a computer engineer!

Here's his diploma, by the way. His graduation picture glitched.

After starting his new career, Servo also completed his aspiration, 'Academic'!

I decided to have him start the 'Renaissance Sim' aspiration next, and he also completed that aspiration instantly! Next up, the 'Computer Whiz' aspiration!

Servo: "What's my reward? Caring for crying babies. Yay..."

As part of his aspiration, Servo needs to play video games for two hours straight while focused without any distractions. That's gonna be hard, there's never a dull moment around here.

Oh nooooooooo, not Honey!

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

The twins diaper days have flown by and they have aged up into adorable toddlers!

Terrance has red hair and brown eyes just like his mom.

Lilliana has brown hair like her dad, and hazel green eyes, a mixture of Ruby's brown eyes, and a recessive gene from her grandpa, Myles' green eyes.

Aww, so cute!

Lilliana: "Hugs are the best!"

Terrance: "I love hugs!"

Terrance: "Are we moving today?"

Lilliana: "I think so! I wonder where we're going?"

To Brindleton Bay! I built the Parsons a brand new house here! Fun fact: Brindleton Bay is where the Parsons first lived in generation one! If you wanna see a full tour of most of the house, check it out on my Instagram!

Come on, get excited, y'all!

Yes, I'm obsessed with the kitchen.

Guess who's back?

Back again?

I thought y'all would be more excited!

You have a brand new house!

Lilliana: "Can you talk?"

Cat: "Yes, but don't tell anyone."

Terrance: "Chompy is the best toy ever!"

Ruby: "It's freezing, I'm gonna turn on the thermostat."

Ruby: "It's so nice and warm in here! We never had a thermostat on the farm."

Rylie: "I'm so happy we moved here!"

After all of the farm animals passed of old age, Rylie has been wanting to move to another animal oriented place to retire since she loves animals so much. What better place than Brindleton Bay?

We finally have a TV again!

Terrance: "Chompy, have you met Midnight?"
Midnight: *Yawn*

Lilliana: "This room has my favorite colors! Pink and purple!"

Looks like the twins are starting to like the new house, now.

Or, maybe it's just the new toys.

Lilliana: "New toys!"
Terrance: "I love new toys!"

Ruby: "This place is huge, I miss my van."

You can go back to your van later.

I've missed Brindleton Bay. It's such a beautiful world!

A little more enthusiasm for the new house would be nice, y'all.

Random Cat: "I'm excited for the new house!"

Thank you, random cat!

Servo: "I'm not excited at all."

Why not?

Servo: "This place is huge, it's gonna take me hours to clean everyday!"

Claudio goes straight for the automatic food bowl.

Ruby: "Wait a minute... since we moved into a new house, that means the welcome wagon is bound to arrive, isn't it."
Myles: "Hey, don't judge the welcome wagon."

That's how Myles and Rylie met.

Lilliana: "I don't like the welcome wagon! Fruit cake is not yummy!"

Bubalus has made a return!

Uh oh... here comes the welcome wagon along with the fruit cake.

Terrance: "Can we run away from the welcome wagon?!"

Myles: "Thanks for welcoming us to the neighborhood, guys. Come on inside, and let's have some fruit cake!"

Myles: "I secretly hate fruit cake."

Looks like Terrance has avoided the fruit cake by having some casserole instead.

Lilliana: "Save me from the fruit cake, kitty cat!"

Lin-Z is here, of course.

I put one of Myles' cross-stitches on the wall. What do you think?

Midnight: "It's beautiful."

Is it just me, or were these little hamsters not here when I first placed these decals on the walls?

Bubalus hasn't bit anyone, surprisingly. Maybe he's kinder than Hammy?

What's that I see?

A beautiful Brindleton Bay sunset!

Ruby is at her next paranormal investigator gig! It's also in Brindleton Bay!

Ruby: "I hope I don't get too scared this time."

Ruby: "I'm already kinda scared."

Townie: "I'll be up here sleeping while you cleanse my house."

Ruby: "Oh my gosh, what was that noise?"

Ruby: "Hello, ghosties. How are you?"

Some sacred candles should help Ruby during her gigs.

I wonder what that says, it's in Simlish.

Ruby: "Get outta here, creepy doll!"

Ruby: "UGH!"

Ruby: "You too, creepy ground hands!"

Ruby: "Alright, back to cleansing."

Ruby: "Uh oh..."

Ruby: "Is that who I think it is?"

Ruby: "Ugh, not Temperance again!"

This bizarre idol should do the trick in scaring Temperance away.

Temperance: "AH! Not again!"

Temperance: "How am I supposed to annoy you when you keep bringing out the bizarre idol all the time?!"

Thank gosh, she's leaving.

Temperance: "I'll be back!"

Ruby: "That was scary... but, thankfully, not as scary as the last time."

Ruby: "Now, I can cleanse in peace."

Townie: "AHH! What was that noise?!"

Townie: "Oh... you're... communing with the departed, I see."

And kicking creepy branches.

Slime: "ARUFNHRG!

Ruby: "Nope, not today."

Ruby: "Oh my gosh! The lights just flickered!"

Ruby: "Did you see that?!"

I think it was the ghosties leaving the place. Ruby has successfully cleansed this house! Great job, Ruby!

Ruby: "I'm gonna reward myself with some casserole."

It's New Year's Eve time! 🎉🥳

Ruby: "All that paranormal investigating has me tired."
Servo: "Do you really have to take a nap on my napping spot?"

Lilliana: "The kitty is gonna eat all the pancakes."

Claudio: "No one else is allowed to eat them except for me."

Lilliana: "This food is yummier than pancakes!"

Luckily Lilliana didn't eat the pancakes, Claudio is eating them all!

It's Servo's first day of work in his new job! Doesn't he look so excited?

There's a lot of digging spots around Brindleton Bay. I assume they're for dogs, but who says Ruby can't utilize them, too?

Terrance: "Did you get to eat any pancakes, grandma?"

Rylie: "Nope. The cat ate the whole lot."

Ruby has been missing Guidry, so she decided to summon him.

Ruby: "Is he gonna turn up?"

Here he is!

Myles: "What are these, Lilliana?"

Lilliana: "They're blocks! We can use them to build a tower!"

Guidry: "Hi, Lilliana!"
Lilliana: "Daddy!"

Aww, so cute!

The kids finally get to see their dad!

The New Year's TV is playing!

Ruby: "Isn't this channel crazy, babe?"

Guidry: "Not as crazy as you, of course."

This is what true excitement looks like.

Everyone: "Shashoobee!"

Do y'all have to be that close to the TV?

Everyone: "Woohoo!"

Everyone: "Happy Sim New Year!"

There's so many cats and dogs roaming around the neighborhood.

Guess who else is back?

Servo needs this robotics station to craft computer chips every day for his job. He can also use it to enhance himself fully to level 10. I've never gotten around to it after Servo was in the middle of self enhancing, but the action cancelled out, and he lost all his materials.

Myles: "I wanted pancakes, not breakfast scramble."

Do y'all like the breakfast scramble?

Lilliana: "Not as much as pancakes."
Terrance: "I love it!"

Midnight, stop being so adorable!

Ruby: "Claps for adorable doggies!"

Lilliana, don't talk to the creepy doll!

Lilliana: "Hi, dolly!"

Your mom would not be happy about this, she hates the creepy dolls.

Lilliana: "This dolly is my new favorite toy!"

No!

I'm having Servo self-repair before self enhancing to level 10 so that nothing goes wrong this time.

Fingers crossed!

Terrance: "Servo looks strange when he self enhances."

It's totally normal to mop up a puddle in the snow, y'all.

Woohoo! Servo has reached level 10 of enhancement!

Servo: "Now I have to do more work around here, don't I?"

Yay! Cheer up!

At least your herbalism skill book is making you happy.

Terrance: "Why is Servo Bot crying all the time, kitty cat?"

Cat: "Because everyone around here is crazy and he's stuck with them."

Terrance: "...What do you mean he's stuck with them?"

I think Terrance just realised the Parsons are cray cray and he's also stuck with them.

A prime example of the Parsons being cray cray: they're building a snowpal while wearing shorts.

Ruby: "It's not even that cold."

Myles: "It is, but let's just pretend it's not."

Ruby: "This is the best snowpal ever!"

What the heck is that?

Snowpal: "I'm just here to frighten the neighbors."

Bonehilda is back!

Servo: "Hello, my love. I haven't stopped thinking about you. I have a surprise for you, follow me."

Bonehilda: "A surprise?"

Bonehilda: "For lil' ol' me? Lead the way!"

Servo: "I love you with my whole heart and soul."

Bonehilda: "I love you, too. Wait... do you have a soul?"

Servo: "Uh... anyways, I wanted to give you this."

Bonehilda: "What's this, Servo?"

Bonehilda: "A key to the house?"

Servo: "Yes, so you can come over anytime you need to without being summoned."

Bonehilda: "Aww, Servo! You shouldn't have!"

Midnight is very fascinated by Bubalus.

When there's nothing left to clean around the house, Bonehilda just scrubs the barbeque endlessly.

Looks like the snow is clearing up!

Spring has sprung!

Ruby: "Get away! I'm trying to have quality time with Bubalus!"

Okay, then...

The vacuum is vacuuming!

Who said elder sims can't swing on the swings?

Rylie: "Whoever said that is a fool!"

Rylie is having the time of her life!

Ruby: "I'm so happy you're here again, my love."

Guidry: "I've missed you. I'm sorry I can't visit unless you summon me."

Ruby: "It's okay, I'll just summon you all the time."

Guidry: "I like the sounds of that!"

Apparently he really liked the sounds of that.

Lilliana: "I wanna build a tower with the blocks!"

Terrance: "When is it my turn to play blocks?"

Terrance: "Never mind, this dragon toy is way better!"

Myles decided to take Midnight on a walk.

Oop, looks like Guidry and Ruby had too much fun. Ruby is pregnant again!

Ruby: "This is the perfect excuse for me to relax in the bath tub without being disturbed by anyone."

Midnight: *BORK, BORK!*

Myles: "I think he found something."

He sure did! A new ball!

Ruby: "I think something arrived in the mail for me, today."

♫ We just got a letter, we just got a letter, we just got a letter, I wonder who it's from! ♫

Ruby: "Looks like it's some elements from the geo council. They sent these back after I sent them some crystals. Awesome!"

Yay! That means you're close to completing your aspiration!

Rylie: "This blackberry jam is yummy."

How long has that been in your inventory?

Rylie: "Probably since Larry and Bessie were first born."

Terrance: "This is my favorite toy!"

You say that about every toy!

Rylie headed down to this food stall to purchase some treats for Midnight and Claudio.

She also purchased some spiced sparkling apple juice for herself.

Since she has the outdoorsy lifestyle trait, she's been tense about being stuck indoors, so I've been trying to get her to feel less tense by jogging and being outside, but for some reason, it's not working.

Myles decided to put some pictures on the board for everyone!

Myles: "Wait a minute... my curfew is at 11?"
