Happy birthday, Terrance! |
Happy birthday, Lilliana! |
Happy birthday, Ryan! |
Lilliana and Terrance aged up into teens! |
Ryan aged up into a child! |
Who's excited for school tomorrow? |
I guess no one is. |
Lilliana: "High school has way more homework." |
Don't mind me, just admiring Brindleton Bay for the 1000th time. |
Lilliana: "There had better be grilled fruit for breakfast." |
You're in luck, there is! |
Okay, this is absolutely adorable! |
Looks like Ryan is a fan of grilled fruit too, a true Parsons! |
Ruby got another specter in a jar from one of her gigs! |
Homework time! They look so focused. |
Ruby: "It's a hot day, so why not turn on the therm?" The therm? |
Lilliana: "It's a cool nickname for the thermostat!" Why does the thermostat need a nickname? |
Ruby: "Lin-Z, play something random." |
Lin-Z: "Got it! Playing HEAVY METAL!" |
Ryan: "HEAVY METAL is my favorite music!" |
Ryan: "I can hear it all the way in the backyard." |
Lilliana: "Today looks like the perfect day to take Midnight for a walk." |
It definitely is, it's a warm summer's day in Brindleton Bay! |
Midnight: "I love walkies!" |
Lilliana: "Do you think Midnight will notice if we stop walking for a second so I can check simstagram?" |
Lilliana: "Hmm..." |
Lilliana: "Hey, my newest post got two whole likes!" |
Midnight: "Why did we stop walking?" |
Lilliana: "So I could give you a hug." |
Midnight: "I love hugs!" You love everything. |
Lilliana decided to start a simstagram for the Parsons pets! |
Lilliana: "I bet that picture is gonna get so many likes! I wonder how many more we'll get if I can train Midnight to sit in record time." |
Lilliana: "Sit..." |
Midnight: "Play?" |
Lilliana: "No, sit! C'mon, who's a good boy?" |
Midnight: "Hmm..." |
Midnight: "Sit?" |
Lilliana: *Claps* "Yay! Good boy!" |
Lilliana: "I'm really good at this pet training stuff." |
Do y'all wanna go outside on this warm summer day? Ruby: "Does it look like I wanna leave the airconditioned house to sit outside in the heat?" Terrance: "Yeah... what she said." |
Lilliana: "Here's your dog treat for sitting!" |
Midnight: "Yay!" |
Lilliana: "Alright, it's getting pretty warm out here. Let's go home so you can drink some water." |
Servo: "I'm glad I'm not outside in the heat." |
They see me rollin', they hatin'. |
Looks like Claudio had a kitten with another cat in the neighborhood! Introducing Paddington Parsons! |
Midnight also had a puppy with another dog in the neighborhood. Introducing Pixie Parsons! |
Paddington: "I'm adorable, aren't I?" Yes you are! |
Of course, Lilliana is the most excited about the new pets. |
Lilliana: "Aww, you're so cute!" |
Lilliana: "I can't wait to teach you every trick I know... even though I only know how to teach you to sit right now." |
Lilliana: "A kitten, too?" |
Lilliana: "Is it possible to train a cat, too?" Nope. Cats do what they want when they want. |
Pixie hasn't left Lilliana's side! |
Her first post on simstagram! She's gonna get a lot of likes! |
Lilliana: "If she doesn't, I will be highly offended." |
Aww, so cute! |
Paddington: "I'll be a bigger hit on simstagram than Pixie." |
Pixie: "But, I'm the cutest pet in the house." |
Claudio: "Excuse you?" |
Ruby: "I'm the hottest momma in town." |
Lilliana: "Gross, mom!" |
Terrance: "There's something on your shirt." |
Ryan: "Huh? Where?" |
Terrance: "Haha! I flicked your nose!" |
Terrance & Ryan: "HAHAHAHAHA!" Lilliana: "Seriously?" |
Ryan: "You got me!" Terrance: "I'm hilarious!" |
Lilliana: "Look at you, you're so short!" |
Ryan: "Hey, stop that! I'm not short!" |
Lilliana: "Ha-ha! You're so short!" |
Lilliana: "Hey! Did you just flick my nose?" |
Ryan: "See? I'm not that short! I can reach your nose!" |
Terrance: "Ha-ha! You got her!" Typical siblings. |
What are you leaving on the board there, Lilliana? |
A note? |
Lilliana: "A very nice note, just for Terrance and Ryan." |
Terrance: "The note said we're losers." Ryan: "That's not nice." |
Off to school! |
Meanwhile... Ruby: "AHHHHH!" |
Ruby: "Does this thing hate me?! It's always biting me!" |
All the pets love crowding around Servo. |
Servo: "Finally, someone who loves and appreciates me." |
Ruby is in her van today to do some readings for sims! |
Ruby: "Who wants a palm reading? Or maybe to commune with a departed relative?" Servo: "Not me, I'm outta here. That stuff's creepy." |
Servo: "I'll just be over here reading my archaeology book." |
The skating rink is in the park! Ruby and Servo will definitely be skating later. |
Ruby: "Hey there, garden guy. Have you ever wanted to commune with your departed relatives?" |
Gardener: "Uh... no." |
Ruby: "Well, today's your lucky day! Follow me to my van for a séance." |
Ruby: "Hmm... yes... I have connected with your grandfather, John." |
Gardener: "My grandfather's name was Albert." |
Ruby: "Right... I mean Albert. Is there anything you'd like to ask him?" |
Gardener: "Why am I a gardener at the Willow Creek park and not a millionaire?" |
Ruby: "Hmm... let's see... he's saying the reason is because you applied for a job to work here." |
Gardener: "Interesting... how can I make a change, then?" |
Ruby: "He says apply to become a millionaire." |
Gardener: "Where do I apply for that?" |
Ruby: "He has the answer... it's..." |
Ruby: "...Going to cost you an extra 50 simoleons!" |
Gardener: "Aww, man, I only have 10 simoleons on me." |
Gardener: "Wait a minute... are the lights flickering?" |
Ruby: "Yes, it's your grandpa telling you to pay up and find the answer." |
Gardener: "What a great séance. I feel dazed after that." |
Ruby: "Maybe he'll be back later to find out how to become a millionaire from his grandpa... for an extra 50 simoleons." |
Alright, enough of that. Skating time! |
Looks like everyone here is an amateur skater. |
Servo should be a pro, he's level 10 in the fitness skill. |
Ruby has fallen already. |
And again... |
Servo: "Come on, this is easy." |
Ruby: "Ah! Clearly not when you're a Parsons!" |
Ruby: "Why am I so bad at skating?" It's in your DNA. |
Servo is back down at Foxbury! |
He's here to tutor another class for his job. |
The kids are home from school! They look so happy, don't they? |
Ruby: "I'm tired after all that falling on my butt during skating." |
I think y'all should get started on your homework soon. |
Claudio: "Homework? What is that? It sounds scary." |
Lilliana: "You're really eating a baked potato instead of doing your homework?" |
Terrance: "I sure am!" |
Baked potatoes all around! |
Lilliana: "Maybe Terrance was right, we should eat before doing our homework so we're not hangry." |
Homework time! |
Servo is upgrading the stove once again. I'm glad he can instantly upgrade everything, even though there's a cool down time. |
Lilliana: "Pixie has been jumping in puddles all day, she definitely needs a bath." |
Hopefully soon she'll be trained not to jump in puddles anymore. |
Midnight has been jumping in puddles, too. |
And Claudio... well... he's just Claudio. |
Servo: "How many classes must I tutor?" |
Fancy seeing you here again! |
Lilliana: "There's a random kid over from school and she won't get off the computer." |
Why must every townie make it their life mission to always use the computer? |
Bubalus is living his best life. |
Paddington: "I'll be living my best life once the automatic food bowl refills." |
This is too cute! |
Lilliana has been training Pixie to potty outside. |
Servo: "Hello? Yes, I'd like to book a vacation to Granite Falls." |
Lilliana: "There's a lot of bugs here." |
Terrance: "We're really camping during the summer with no thermostat?" That's right! |
Servo decided to cook some stew for everyone. |
Lilliana: "Aren't you so excited to be here?" |
Ryan: "Yes! I've always wanted to go camping!" |
Terrance: "Do you think we should search for a thermostat in this lodge?" Ruby: "For sure, we can't live without the thermostat!" Why would there be a thermostat in a lodge? |
Servo: "Perfect, the stew is ready." |
It's so pretty in Granite Falls! I remember when the Parsons visited here in generation one! |
Servo: "Stew's ready!" |
Servo: "Hmm? What's that buzzing noise?" |
Servo: "Hey! Get away, stupid bugs!" |
Stew for breakfast! |
While some music plays. |
Ooh, I've already found one of the plants! I wonder how many we can find around the campsite? |
Servo: "Might as well look for some frogs while we're at it." |
Lilliana: "Who wants to play horseshoes?" |
Miss! |
Another plant found! Some chamomile! |
Terrance: "Get ready to watch me win." |
Miss! |
Ruby: "There has to be some sort of method to this..." |
Miss! |
Ruby: "It was close! ...Kinda?" |
Ryan: "My turn!" |
Another miss! |
Terrance: "Man, we're really bad at this, aren't we?" |
Everyone: "MOSQUITOES!" |
Servo: "Hmm... by the taste of this plant..." |
Servo: "It's definitely poisonous!" Why the heck are you tasting it then?! |
Servo found another plant! |
There's a lot of insects the Parsons can collect around here, too! (I forgot to collect these butterflies.) |
Servo: "Could you please tell me where the nearby forest is located?" |
Servo: "They told me to keep walking until I see a bunch of trees. I'll collect some frogs while I'm at it." |
Servo: "I think I'm close, I can see the forest ranger." |
She has creepy red eyes and yellow contour! |
Ruby: "I hope this forest has a bathroom." |
Terrance: "That bathroom was so gross!" |
Ryan: "Ah! Get away, bugs!" |
Ruby: "Why are there so many bugs in the forest?!" ...Because it's the forest? |
Everyone decided to go hiking! |
Hopefully they'll stumble across some plants along the way. |
Oh no, a bear! |
Servo: "Hi there, bear. You wouldn't have happened to see any elderberries around here, would you?" |
Here they are! |
Lilliana: "It's so nice out here." |
Terrance: "The outdoors is starting to grow on me." |
Ruby found another plant! |
Ooh, some morel mushrooms! They're apparently difficult to find. |
Lilliana: "Any froggies in here?" |
Some termites! |
Lilliana: "Come here, termites... please don't bite me." |
Lilliana: "I got one! Three, as a matter of fact." |
I wonder if you can collect these? |
A dragon dragonfly! That's a rare insect! |
Ruby: "Here, dragon dragonfly... stay still." |
Ruby: "I got it!" Woohoo! |
Servo: "There's a lot of fish swimming around here, too." |
This seems like a perfect fishing spot. |
Ruby: "Why are we doing Servo's work for him while he fishes?" |
Looks like the tables have turned. Everyone else is doing Servo's work for once. |
A poison fireleaf! |
Ruby: "Uh... why do I feel super itchy all over after touching the poison fireleaf?" |
Terrance: "This looks like the perfect spot to cloud gaze." |
Ryan: "That cloud looks like a dragon!" Terrance: "That cloud kinda looks like Servo." |
Lilliana: "Guess who found some huckleberries?" |
Ruby: "Ugh, these stupid bugs! Could there possibly be anything worse lurking around here?!" |
Ruby: "Can't... stop... itching." |
Lilliana: "Hey, some monarch butterflies! I wonder if I can catch them?" |
Lilliana: "I caught them." |
Lilliana: "Do you think it's safe to collect this fireleaf?" |
This |
Servo: "Hmm... let me taste to make sure this is the right plant." |
Servo: "Yep, that's definitely poison fireleaf. There's only one more plant we need now, that's the false morel mushroom. I think I know where to go." |
Into the deep forest? |
Servo: "Yep!" |
This is where the hermit lives! |
Are you kidding me? She has all the plants in her planter boxes! (Except for the false morel mushroom, the one plant Servo needs.) |
Servo: "Well, this is absurd." |
Ooh, here they are! |
Servo: "I have successfully found all of the plants around Granite Falls." Woohoo! |
Ruby: "Ugh, I can't stop itching! I didn't know poison fireleaf makes you itch all over." |
Everyone had a great hike except for Ruby. |
Lilliana decided to take some pictures in front of the Granite Falls mascot statue. |
It was impossible to fit the entire statue into the frame! |
Servo can now grill his first herbal remedy, even though he's level 9 in the herbalism skill. |
Servo: "A little dash of noxious elderberry..." |
It looks like it's coming along nicely. |
Here's Servo's first herbal remedy! Some insect repellent. |
Servo: "Who wants to sit around the campfire and roast marshmallows that I can't eat?" |
Lilliana: "There's even more bugs out here at night time!" |
Lilliana: "Maybe some of Servo's insect repellent will work." |
Lilliana: "Even though it kinda stinks." |
Lilliana: "Did it work?" |
Lilliana: "I think it did, the bugs left me alone!" |
Servo: "Are we all gonna roast marshmallows or what?" |
Terrance: "Ugh, stupid bugs! Lilliana used all the insect repellent!" |
Ruby: "It's a wonderful summer night." |
Unfortunately, there appears to be a bug in my game (no pun intended) where sims can't sit around the campfire. |
Servo: "Oh, come on!" |
The Parsons had a great time in Granite Falls! |
Time to return home to Brindleton Bay. |
Ruby: "That was a great camping trip... except for my rash from the poison fireleaf. Thank gosh that's gone." |
Lilliana: "I think she passed it onto me!" |
So many birthdays to kick off this update! :) The kids look great.

An easy mistake to make. XD
I'm having so much fun watching Lilliana interact with the pets in this update! :)
> They see me rollin', they hatin'.
Hahaha! XD
> Paddington and Pixie
They're adorable! :D I love Paddington's compact little body and Pixie's rainbow markings. That purple heart over her eye! :D
> Typical siblings.
Lol at the way they're interacting! XD I get a kick out of their good-natured teasing.
> Servo: "Hello? Yes, I'd like to book a vacation to Granite Falls."
I thought Servo was taking a vacation by himself! XD I was going to applaud him for taking me-time.
I'm even more excited that the whole family is traveling with him. Yay, camping! :D
> Looks like the tables have turned. Everyone else is doing Servo's work for once.
Well played, Servo! XD It's good that the Parsons are looking after HIM, for a change.
> Ruby: "Ugh, these stupid bugs! Could there possibly be anything worse lurking around here?!"
Hahaha! XD Snapped at the perfect moment.
> This is where the hermit lives!
Looks idyllic! I would gladly be a hermit in TS4.
> Servo can now grill his first herbal remedy
That's a great skill set to have! :)
> Here's Servo's first herbal remedy! Some insect repellent.
So appropriate! Well done, Servo.
> Servo: "Are we all gonna roast marshmallows or what?"
I love Servo. :) That's it, that's the comment.
> Ruby: "It's a wonderful summer night."
Look at that ~moon~! :)
> sims can't sit around the campfire.
> Servo: "Oh, come on!"
Hahaha! XD Poor Servo. All he wants is a little family time with the Parsons.
I'm so happy that I got to join the Parsons on their camping trip! :) It's also fun to see the pet care and training options in TS4. Great update! Thanks for posting.
