Chapter 280

Paige is giving some major side eye to start out the chapter.

Paige: "You sure are hungry after tummy time."

Nap time for Kristina!

The townies refuse to leave the premises. I repeat: THE TOWNIES REFUSE TO LEAVE THE PREMISES!

Marmalade, were you jumping in puddles yet again?

Marmalade: "No comment."

Adam: "Isn't cereal so much better than baby food?"

Matteo: "No. Why can't I still have baby food?"

Paige is back down at work at the spa.

Since she's not pregnant, she can teach a yoga class today.

Paige: "Namaste."

Woohoo! Paige has reached level 10 of the wellness skill!

Meanwhile, Servo is outside just casually uncovering some relics as all sims do.

A wild Bonehilda has been spotted doing what the spa was made for: dancing.

Paige: "Is everyone ready?"

Paige: "First, we're going to stretch. Ignore the protesters outside."

Protester: "NO MORE DEBTS! NO MORE DEBTS!"

Servo: "This relic is definitely 3,364 years old."

Next, Paige hosted a guided meditation.

While Servo examines some metals.

Paige: "Ummmm..."

Everyone: "Ummmm..."

After hosting the meditation, Paige began giving a sim a sports back massage.

Little did she know what she was in for.

Servo decided to host his own yoga class so he can work a little on the 'Zen Guru' aspiration.

He needs to become a wellness master teacher by teaching a class with another wellness master.

Since Paige is level 10 in the wellness skill now, her attendance in Servo's yoga class will help him reach that goal.

Paige will be the only sim who doesn't struggle in the class.

Paige: "That was a great yoga class that Servo taught. I feel really relaxed!"

If this doesn't stop townies from entering the house constantly, I don't know what will!

Servo ordered some groceries! He purchased some bass and catfish for when he attempts to go fishing for the anglerfish again.

Why the heck is the delivery guy the same guy as the statue man from San Myshuno?

Servo: "Here's an extra tip since you clearly have two jobs."

It may be the middle of the night, but that won't stop Matteo from playing blocks.

Matteo: "I wanna build a tower!"

It's Egg Day time! 🥚🐰🌸

The power is out once again, so Paige is out for a jog.

Brodie: "Do you want to learn how to build a tower, Matteo?"

Kristina lifted her head for the first time!

Servo is downstairs in the garden. It's fertilizing day, so he'll be here a while.


Paige is following the ways of her ancestors and riding around on her bicycle. Ignore her helmet that is glitched from her CC hair.

Ooh, there's a beautiful rainbow over San Sequoia!

Servo can barely see it from where he's fishing.

But, it's so pretty!

Brodie: "What the heck?"

Brodie: "Huh?"

Brodie: "Oh no, Kristina! Did you have a diaper blowout?"

Kristina: "Hahaha!"
Brodie: "It's not funny!"

Adam: "It's very funny!"

Why the heck are you hanging out the laundry to dry while it's raining?!

Brodie: "Alright, here goes nothing..."

Servo: "The best part about barbequing is getting to see the view of sims that have to feed the hungry cowplant."

Brodie: "Woah!"

Brodie: "Alright, I still have all my fingers!"

Brodie: "Was that entertaining enough for you, Servo?"
Servo: "Yes, yes it was."

Servo is travelling back down to Sylvan Glade.

He's using the baits he purchased to hopefully catch the anglerfish.

The Flower Bunny somehow found it's way to Sylvan Glade, too.

Flower Bunny: "This place needs even more flowers!"

Servo: "I got it!"

Woohoo! Servo caught an anglerfish!

Now, he needs to fish at three different spots for his aspiration.

Of course, it began raining at Willow Creek as soon as he arrived.

He travelled down to Oasis Springs to fish in the pond near the park.

By doing this, he completed the 'Angling Ace' aspiration!

Now, he can work on 'The Curator' aspiration and collect some collectables while he's here.

He also wants to travel to Forgotten Grotto to see what other items he can find.

Servo: "Here goes nothing..."

Servo made it!

Servo: "I wonder if there's any unique frogs here."

Servo didn't find much this time. It's time to head home.

Back at home, Paige is pregnant again!

Servo is collecting some microscopic images using the giant microscope.

Look who's sitting up now!

Everyone came to witness the milestone.

Matteo: "Look! I built a sideways tower!"

Brodie: "Wow, that's impressive, son!"

Adam: "I have the smartest grandson ever."

Time for Kristina to try her first baby food.

Paige: "Will she like mashed peas?"

She's pretty undecided.

That doesn't stop her from being a messy eater, though.

Paige: "Mashed peas tastes horrible, too! How do babies eat this?!"

Poor Maximus passed away from old age. The Parsons got a new rodent, a flying squirrel! Introducing Skipper!

Adam: "Well, aren't you adorable?"

Skipper: "I know, right?"

For some reason, Paige can still ride her bicycle while pregnant, but she can't jog.

Servo is down at Magnolia Blossom in Willow Creek looking for some collectables.

I also noticed that he wasn't an expert at skating. Time to change that!

Brodie also joined him and is horrible at skating.

Brodie: "Woah!"

Servo: "Come on, keep up."
Brodie: "I'm trying, okay?"

Servo: "Look at me, I'm so elegant."

Brodie: "Wow, he really is elegant."

Brodie: "And I'm... a clumsy mess."

Servo: "Spin, spin, spin!"

Brodie: "Woah!"
Servo: "How embarrassing."

Paige: "Are you ready to try some more baby food, Kristina?"

Paige: "Here's some pumpkin puree!"
Kristina: "Eeeee!"

Kristina loved pumpkin puree! She's very happy, now.

Matteo: "Look! Flying peas!"

Stop that!

Brodie: "I'm gonna have to clean up after him, aren't I?"

Yes, yes you are.

Marmalade: "The townies still won't leave us alone."

Are you kidding me?!

Townie: "Hey, this plant is cool! I'm gonna tell all my townie friends about it."

Please don't.

Happy birthday, Matteo!

Happy birthday, Kristina!

Matteo aged up into a child!

Kristina aged up into a toddler!

Paige: "Oof, I have morning sickness once again."

Paige: "I wonder if Kristina will like cereal more than baby food."

Kristina: "Cereal is yummy!"

Paige: "I knew she'd love it."

Brodie: "How do you already have homework? You've never even been to school yet."
Matteo: "It just showed up in my inventory."

Adam: "Why do I have to feed the cowplant?"

Matteo: "I built a rocket ship just like the one outside!"

That's impressive!

Servo is back down at Magnolia Blossom.

Apparently, betta fish can be found in this particular pond. We shall see.

The entire Parsons family also travelled with Servo to enjoy a day at the park.

Brodie and Kristina began building a sandcastle.

Matteo decided to play on the monkey bars.

And Adam and Paige started playing chess.

Adam: "Hmm... I think this game is already going south for me."

Paige: "Of course it is. I'm a genius."

Since when?

Aww! Brodie and Kristina built a cowplant sandcastle just like the cowplant at home!

Adam: "Look at me! I'm drawing a star in the sand!"

Brodie: "I'm a scary sea monster!"

Matteo: "Oh no!"

Matteo: "We need to steer the ship away from the horrifying sea monster!"

Paige, you shouldn't be cooking.

Paige: "I got hungry. I'm eating for two."

Adam: "Come on, Marmalade. Let's go for a walk around the park."

Paige: "Come get some hamburgers, everyone!"

Matteo: "These are delicious, mom!"

Back at home, Servo is using the ginormous microscope once again. He couldn't find a betta fish at Magnolia Blossom after fishing all day long.

Matteo: "I may have been a pirate before, but now I'm an astronaut."

Matteo: "I need to devise a plan to destroy any meteors!"

Matteo: "I wonder if I can see any actual meteors from here."

Matteo: "Hmm... not really."

Servo is back down at Henford-on-Bagley!

Yes! Servo finally found one of the mushrooms the Parsons need for their garden! He found a charming mushroom.

Ooh, there's an aurora!

Servo also decided to fish while he's here.

Let's hope he can add to the fish collection.

Back at home, Paige is in labor!

Paige: "This hurts!"

Aww, man. She's not giving birth in jeans this time.

*Sparkles!*

It's a boy! 💙 Introducing Chase Parsons!

Paige: "You're so adorable, just like your siblings."

Back at Henford-on-Bagley, Servo is befriending the birds.

Maybe they'll give him one of the mushrooms the Parsons need as a gift.

Servo: "Hi there, birbs."

Servo: "You can trust me, don't worry."

Servo: "You have some lovely yellow feathers there, my friend."

Aww, what an adorable little bird!

Brodie: "Guess who's birthday it is? Not mine, thank gosh!"

Chase aged up into an infant!

Brodie: "Another one of my twins."

Kristina: "Yellow crab block!"

Will Chase be the first child of generation 20 to enjoy tummy time?

Wow, he loves it. That's rare!

After sending off 5 items to the Geological Council, Servo has completed 'The Curator' aspiration!

Adam: "Servo is so inspirational! I wanna be just like him when I grow up!"

Servo is down at the gym in Oasis Springs to work on the 'Bodybuilder' aspiration. This might not be the best day for this since there's a heatwave down here.

He needs to push the limits for one hour while energized. First, he needs to get tired enough to be able to push the limits.

Paige is also down at the gym to work on her fitness skill.

Paige: "You wanna mess with me, punching bag?!"

Paige: "Well, bring it on."

Paige: "You wanna mess with me, too?!"

Tammy: "I was just trying to train you. Your posture is horrible."

Paige: "How dare she! Ugh, I need some water, it's way too hot."

Paige: "One water is 5 simoleons?"

Paige: "Hey! My water got stuck!"

Paige: "This machine has the audacity to make my 5 dollar drink get stuck?!"

Paige: "Give me... my... drink!"

Paige, don't do that! The vending machine is dangerous.

Welp... I guess it worked, she got her water.

Servo has been working out for hours and still hasn't gotten tired!

Maybe if he continues his workout at home, he'll get tired eventually.

Paige: "You're not hungry right now?"
Chase: "Waaa!"

Paige: "Hmm... I guess not. You sure are a picky eater."

Kristina: "I'm hungry!"

Kristina: "Mac and cheese? Yummy!"

Matteo, shouldn't you be eating that at the dinner table?

Matteo: "I wanted to watch TV."
Brodie: "That's my boy."

Chase: "Waaaaaaa!"

Chase seems pretty tired.

Jellybean: "Is there any mac and cheese leftover for me?"

You have an automatic food bowl, ma'am!

Paige: "You're the cutest baby ever! Yes, you are!"
Brodie: "He most definitely is."

Servo has been boxing all night and he still hasn't gotten tired.

Maybe he'll be able to finally find the mysterious mushroom at Henford-on-Bagley, instead.

There's a bunny!

I repeat: THERE'S A BUNNY!

It must be nice being able to take a nap standing up.

There were no mushrooms at Henford-on-Bagley today, so Servo travelled down to Willow Creek to find a particular fish.

He's fishing for the betta fish, which for some reason, is impossible to find. It's meant to be found in Willow creek waters, but I have yet to find any.

The Parsons also travelled down to the nearby library in front of where Servo is fishing.

Paige: "Come on, Chase! Sit up! You can do it."
Chase: "Waaa!"

Brodie: "Are we gonna read books while we're here?"
Adam: "What else would we do at the library, dummy?"

Kristina: "Eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!

Servo keeps catching some impressive fish, but not the one he's looking for. This betta fish is harder to find than most rare fish!

Looks like Brodie and Adam did what they came here to do; read.

Paige: "Poor Chase was tired after tummy time."

Paige: "He fell asleep in mommy's arms."

Alright, there's nothing here. Maybe he'll find it in another spot since there's three fishing spots in this one area.

Paige: "My social bunny post got 6 total likes. That's a win."

After reading, Adam went around and started digging up some collectables nearby.

Meanwhile, Servo changed his fishing location.

Adam: "There had better be something in this dirt pile. My clothes are gonna get dirt all over them!"

Matteo is back from school!

Ooh, this fishing sign is sparkling!

Get over there, Servo!

Everyone started getting hungry, so Adam began grilling up some baked potatoes.

Why the heck do you have so much sunscreen on?

Brodie: "You can never be too careful."

Alright, it's getting pretty dark and Servo still hasn't caught the betta fish. Time to head home.

Everyone's off to put the kids to bed.

Meanwhile, Servo needs to attempt to get tired out once again.

Paige: "This isn't the best time to jog, it's getting foggy."

I think Marmalade and Jellybean need some new toys. These ones are destroyed.

This is Servo's version of 'jogging'. Maybe he'll get tired out while waiting for the mushrooms to grow.

He also has a gift for his bird friends. They hated it.

Back at home, it's breakfast time!

It's also fertilizer day. All the non-perfect plants need to be fertilized with the expensive plants.

This backyard is starting to look wild.

Maybe Servo will get tired doing an endurance run on the treadmill.

Kristina: "Did you know that my favorite toy is Teresa Triceratops?"

Matteo: "The best toy is clearly Mr. Super Hero."

Servo has been running for hours, and he's still not tired. What will it take?!

Aww, this is adorable!

Hooray! Chase is finally sitting up!

Matteo: "An alien has come to invade the spaceship!"

I kid you not, Servo has been running since the morning, and it's now night time... AND HE'S STILL NOT TIRED OUT!

Maybe he can try again tomorrow.
