Chapter 283

Servo is down at Willow Creek! It's snowing like crazy here. It's weird to see since it doesn't snow in San Sequoia.

Servo: "What am I doing here again?"

You're going to Sylvan Glade, duh!

Hopefully, Servo can find an eggplant frog in this pond.

Servo: "Ah! These frogs are slippery!"

Servo: "I caught one!"

Servo caught an eggplant frog! Hooray!

Brodie: "Hey there, Carl."

Brodie: "Who's the cutest chameleon ever? You are! Yes, you are!"

Brodie: "I think the bees like me."

Brodie: "They're not attacking me like I thought they would-"

Brodie: "AHHHH!!!"

Brodie: "Get them away from me!"

Chase: "Can you hear that? Dad is being attacked by bees!"

Matteo: "Not now, Chase. I had a bad day at school today. Kristina embarrassed me in front of the entire cafeteria."

Kristina: "Boohoo."

After breeding different frogs, the Parsons have completed their frog collection!

This collection room is getting a lot more full!

Anything yet, Servo?

Servo: "I think I found it!"

YES!!! FINALLY! Servo found the mysterious mushroom in the dumpster!

Servo: "I'm planting it immediately so I never have to dumpster dive ever again."

The Parsons now officially have every plant in the game!

All they need to do now is nurture all the plants to perfect quality. Right now, over half of them are perfect quality so far.

Brodie: "I made some grilled cheese while no one was looking and managed not to cause a fire."

Wow, great job.

Winnie, stop that!

Matteo: "Seriously, Winnie?!"

Matteo: "You're being so annoying right now!"

Woah, calm down.

Matteo: *Crying*

What's wrong?

Matteo: "The sink is broken... that's so sad..."

Someone's emotional today...

Chase: "I'm going outside to look through the telescope."

Hopefully, Chase can complete his childhood aspiration tonight after looking through the telescope for a few hours.

Speaking of aspirations, Servo has entered the freelancer career for his aspiration and needs to complete a bunch of candle orders.

After looking through the microscope a bunch of times...

The Parsons have completed their microscopic prints collection! Hooray!

There's so many collections being completed in one chapter!

Paige: "I can finally come inside. I'm scared of the dark!"

Jellybean: "Send her back outside. It'll be funny."

I sent Paige back outside, but not because it's funny, it's because she needs to fix the rocket ship.

Hooray! Chase has completed his childhood aspiration 'Creative Genius'!

Servo's candle that he carved is beautiful.

Winnie thought it was so beautiful that she decided to sleep right beside it.

It's New Year's Eve time! 🎉🥳

The mysterious mushroom has bloomed! It's really pretty.

Kristina: "I'm gonna practise the violin in the laundry room since it bothers everyone so much."

What better New Year's tradition is there than dancing?

As soon as one Parsons starts dancing, they all start dancing.

Servo is back down in Oasis Springs to hopefully find a piranha.

Servo: "Third time's a charm."

This poor little doggy is very stinky.

Paige is also here to help dig up some fossils.

Paige: "This is kinda fun!"

Servo: "You'll never believe what I just caught."

A piranha?

A piranha! It looks lovely with the other fish.

Now, Servo just needs to catch a red tailed black shark.

Servo: "You mean this?"

Yes! Great job, Servo! The Parsons now have every base game fish in the game! All they have to do now is collect four more fish to fully complete their collection.

I just realised, the Parsons had all the space rocks in their inventory. The unnaturally large space rock surely lives up to it's name.

I also want the Parsons to complete their sugar skull collection. The only way to do that is by placing down a tombstone and summoning a Day of the Dead celebrator, then asking them for a sugar skull. I placed Adam's tombstone. I'm sure he won't mind.

Paige: "It didn't work for me, now I can get back inside and get away from this cowplant."

It may not have worked for Paige, but it will hopefully work for Servo.

Servo: "It worked!"

Ooh! This looks like a good sign!

Servo: "The Day of the Dead celebrator should begin roaming the neighborhood any minute now."

That's the annoying part. The Day of the Dead celebrator doesn't show up right at the door, they roam the neighborhood, which makes it pretty difficult to find them.

Oop- I found them on a random neighbor's lawn!

Servo: "I'm on my way!"

Servo needs to make it back in time before the countdown to midnight!

Looks like Servo found her.

Servo: "Hey there, I heard you were a Day of the Dead celebrator."

Day of the Dead Celebrator: "Yep, that's me. Did you summon me?"

Servo: "I sure did! Say... would you mind giving me one of those collectable sugar skulls?"

Day of the Dead Celebrator: "Oh, sure thing."

Servo: "Thanks! That was easier than I thought it would be."

Servo: "We have a Graham!"

Hooray! The Parsons have collected their first sugar skull, 'Graham'.

Servo: "I'd better get back home before the countdown to midnight."

Everyone: "Shashoobee!"

Everyone: "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Ooh, look who's here to visit!

Servo: "Adam! It's great to see you again!"

Adam: "It's great to see you too, Servo. Why the heck is my tombstone next to a cowplant?"

Adam, leave the New Year's decorations alone!

As if the Parsons house couldn't look any crazier, they now have a giant telescope in the backyard. They need to complete their space prints collection after completing the microscopic prints collection.

Brodie: "What if someone else in the neighborhood has a giant telescope pointed towards our house?!"
Chase: "Only our house has a giant telescope, a rocket ship and a cowplant outside, dad."

Paige is volunteering as tribute to use the giant telescope.

Paige: "Hey! I already see something pretty!"

Paige found her first space print! It is pretty.

Brodie, what the heck are you doing?

Brodie: "What? You've never seen a man wear a green face mask?"

Brodie: "Your violin skill is getting a lot better, sweetie."

Kristina: "Dad, you're embarrassing me with that stupid face mask."

Brodie: "Oh, that reminds me, I've had this thing on for way too long."

Kristina: "Oh, gosh."

Uh oh...

Brodie: "What's the problem? Wait... why is my face suddenly burning like the heat of a thousand suns?"

Brodie: "Anyway, I need to check the mail."

You're seriously going outside looking like that?

A rare moment of these two getting along!

Brodie: "Hmm... looks like we have a few completed collection plaques."

Ooh! The Parsons got a plaque in the mail for completing their frog collection!

They also got a plaque for completing their microscopic prints collection!

Servo has another freelance job he needs to complete. He also has to craft a total of 20 candles for his aspiration, so he'll definitely only be accepting candle jobs.

Brodie: "Let's go for a walk, Winnie!"

Why is this the time you choose to take Winnie for a walk? You look like a tomato!

Servo: "This client wants how many candles?!"

Townie: "What's wrong with your face?"

Brodie: "What's wrong with your face?"

Brodie: "Townies, am I right?"

Winnie: "Not this time. Something is really wrong with your face."

Paige: "I finished all the daytime space print collections."

Looks like you'll need to become nocturnal for a while to complete all the night time space print collections.

All those gifts are still here, except now the plant they were surrounding is gone.

Brodie: "You're gonna make me open all of them, aren't you?"

Yes, yes I am.

Brodie: "This had better be worth while."

It was! Brodie found a crystal the Parsons don't have yet.

Brodie: "My face feels like it's on fire right now."

That's your fault for going out in the sun like that.

Winnie is very tired after her walk.

Matteo: "Bro, look how stupid dad looks right now!"

Brodie: "That's not nice. It was a face mask error!"

Chase: "To be fair, your face looks pretty stupid, too."

Matteo: "Excuse you?"

Paige is awake once again and ready to view space until the sun rises.

Servo: "I finished my freelance order."

Perfect! Now, you can collect some more sugar skulls.

Servo: "My summoning worked once again!"

Servo: "Hey there. Do you have any sugar skulls I could borrow... permanently."
Day of the Dead Celebrator: "I have hundreds. Please, be my guest."

The Parsons now have 'Nadia' the sugar skull!

Paige has already found all of the stargazing space prints!

Paige: *Yawn* "Is the sun already coming up?"

Paige: "I need to sleep!"

Kristina: "AHHH!"

Kristina: "Since when do chameleons attack?!"

Chase: "Apparently, they love attacking sims with beards the most!"

Brodie: "Say what?!"

Dipsi: "Tell Servo to stop making candles and pay attention to me."

I'm too busy telling Winnie to stop drinking out of the toilet! DIS-GUS-TAAANG!

Paige: "What's with the sunscreen babe?"

Brodie: "You can never be too careful. I never want a sunburn on my face after what that face mask did."

The Parsons space rocks plaque arrived in the mail today!

I also found their elements plaque in Servo's overcrowded inventory.

Happy birthday, Chase!

Chase aged up into a teen!

Chase: "I still have the same awesome haircut and I'm sticking with it."

Kristina: "Now I can embarrass Chase at school too!"

Chase: "What did you just say?"

Kristina: "Oh, nothing... hehehe..."

Paige: "The stove is safer than the barbeque, right?"

Wrong! I told you that only Servo is allowed to cook!

Servo: "Now I have to save the day once again."

Paige: "Ugh. No more cooking, then... for now."

Paige: "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go take a shower."
Servo: "I'll take over cooking since I'm clearly the only competent one around here."

Servo: "Watch and learn. You all need it."

The kids have school projects!

Kristina: "I can't wait to see what this looks like when it's finished."

Brodie: "Carl is the most adorable pet ever."
Dipsi: "Excuse you?"

Brodie: "This volcano is turning out better than I expected!"

Matteo: "Our project is gonna look way better than Chase's."

Paige: "Huh, what's going on?"

Uh oh...

Paige: "Is that a... spaceship?!"

Paige: "Help! I'm being abducted!"

Poor Paige! Luckily she can't come back pregnant... I hope.

Chase's volcano is complete!

Kristina: "So is our project!"
Matteo: "It's awesome!"

Wow, impressive!

A few hours later, the aliens brought Paige back.

Paige, are you okay?

Paige: "Those aliens completely wiped my memory. I have no idea what happened up there!"

Paige: "The only thing I remember is flying past Sixam."

Paige: "Which reminds me, I need to get back to using the telescope so I can see more of space since I don't remember seeing it in the spaceship."

The gardening bot may be slow, but it seems to be capable of doing its job until it gets to the alien plants. After that, it waters them non-stop.

This Day of the Dead celebrator is fabulous.

It's Love Day time! 💘💋💌

Brodie: "I got you a new purple flower for Love Day this year, babe. Here's a tulip."

Paige: "You got that for me?"

Paige: "Oh, it's lovely, babe."

Brodie: "I'm glad you like it. So... did you get one for me, too?"

Paige: "Of course I did! Here you go, my love."

Brodie: "This smells wonderful."

Paige: "I knew you'd love it!"

*Kiss*

Aww, these two are so adorable!

Knox is an old man now!

How was school today?

Matteo: "It sucked!"
Chase: "Kristina embarrassed me in front of everyone just like she said she would."

Kristina: "Don't ever say I don't keep my word."

Chase: "See you guys later, I'm off to chess club."

Matteo: "Why aren't I in chess club? Do you think I'm too stupid?"

Maybe.

Hooray! After using the microscope and telescope so often, Paige has reached level 10 of the logic skill!

She's collected so many space prints that I'm having trouble fitting them on the walls of the collectables room. She only needs to collect the 'moongazing' space prints and the collection will be complete!

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

Noooooooooo! Jellybean!

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

Even Adam, a ghost, is shocked and sad about Jellybean's passing.

Adam: "You reaped my soul, and now my cat's soul?!"
Grim Reaper: "Well, this is awkward."

Paige has found her first moongazing print!

Adam, seriously?! Even as a ghost, you're still causing fires!

Paige: "Seriously, dad?!"
Grim Reaper: "I don't want to have to reap my own soul! Someone fix it!"

Poor Dipsi got singed!

Dipsi: "I need a bath, stat!"

Adam: "I'll try to cook again before I go-"

NO! Back away from the barbeque!

Adam took a slice of the designated birthday cake and then dipped, which means Servo will have to bake another one. Adam has caused nothing but annoyance today!

Dipsi: "Care to share any of that delicious food with me?"

Kristina: "Sorry, Dipsi. You're not getting any. You have your own food bowl."

School is in session!

Chase: "I don't wanna be at school, I wanna be at home!"
Kristina: "Too bad, suck it up."

Chase: *Crying* "Why does my locker have to be right next to my sister's?

Someone's extra emotional today.

Chase: *Crying*
Kristina: "What's wrong with him?"

Typical teenager.

Chase: "You won't give me detention if I'm late, right?"

Teacher: "I will. Even if you're one minute late."

Class is in session!

Teacher: "Welcome to art class, kids!"

Chase: "He's too enthusiastic."

Student: "Please don't give me detention!"
Principal: "I don't wanna hear it. You were two minutes late to class!"

Chase: "Did you learn anything in that class with your tiny brain?"

Matteo: "Was that an insult?"

Chase: "One freshman meal, please."

Poor Chase is sitting alone.

Kristina: "Ha-ha! No one likes my stupid brother!"

Matteo: "Those are some cool cat ears you've got there."
Student: "Not as cool as my chain."

Chase: "I need to use the bathroom quickly before my next class!"

After the second class, school is over for the day.

The kids decided to head down to the library in San Sequoia to study and do their homework.

Chase: "Man, I have so much studying to do. It's so stressful!"

This is a great studying spot.

This random townie kid agrees.

After studying, the kids went to the cinema to watch an action movie since they're a little too stressed to finish their homework.

Ooh, the sunset is so pretty in San Sequoia!

Matteo: "That movie was boring."

Chase: "What kind of action movie was that? I almost fell asleep."

Kristina: "I can't believe we spent 45 simoleons on that movie."

Back at home, Paige made some omelettes for dinner while I wasn't here to stop her.

Paige: "I didn't cause a fire, so that's a plus."

At least now, everyone can finish their homework while Servo cries behind them.
