Chapter 304

Hayden is loving being a mom!

Ooh, an ice skating rink. The only thought I have is embarrassing the Parsons by making them skate on it.

Rory aged up into an infant!

Hayden: "You have blue eyes just like your aunt Beatrix!"

These two are off to another competition!

Todd and Esme are close to carving all the pumpkins. They're up to green pumpkins, now.
 
Rory: "Waaa!"
Hayden: "You really don't like tummy time, do you?"

Hayden: "Maybe because you're tired."

Hayden: "Night night, little one."

Rex: "Is that food?!"

No, it's a microwave.

This is one fancy pumpkin. It's sparkling!

Beatrix: "Who's the cutest unicorn ever? You are! Yes, you are!"

Uh... earth to Blaire?

Todd, no! Why do you always go for the designated birthday cake?!

Todd: "Just to annoy you."

Raini: "I've never eaten the designated birthday cake before."

That's a flat out lie, I have photographic evidence that you have tried to eat the designated birthday cake before.

Todd: "Now, I don't get dinner?"

Cole: "That's what you get for eating the designated birthday cake."

Right on, Cole!

Hayden is pregnant again!

Aww, so cute!

Duncan: "Who's gonna be the best big brother? You are! Yes, you are!"

After waking up from his nap, Rory isn't too tired for tummy time anymore.

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

Nooooooooo! Hershey!

Rest In Peace, Hershey Parsons. You were a wonderful dog who loved the fireplace. You will be dearly missed.

Esme: *Gasp!*
Cole: "Not Hershey!"

Nothing to see here, just two horses sleeping on the sidewalk right beside some giant horse poop.

I finally opened all of the simmi capsules Blaire purchased from the Festival of Snow.

The Parsons have now successfully collected all the non-golden simmies! Once they get all the gold simmies, their collection will be complete! Their plaque is apparently arriving in the mail, though, since they completed the first part of the collection.

Hayden: "What's that smell?"

Uh oh! Poor Rory had a diaper blowout!

Pinky: "Where have you been?"

Raini: "Hunting for more feathers."

Leave those birbs alone!

Ooh, the simmi plaque arrived today. It's so cute!

Can we skip to the good part?

♫ AHHHHHHHHHHH! ♫

Beatrix: "I stink after all that work decorating the Winterfest tree!"

Blaire, you were meant to be training Latte!

Blaire: "I thought you meant you wanted me to go get a latte."

Stray: "Can I haz some?"

Blaire: "Why, of course you can, adorable stray kitty."

Duncan was promoted today!

Duncan: "Yay, me!"

Duncan: "Are those butterflies coming out of the laundry basket?"

Duncan: "I'm so fresh and so clean, even my dirty laundry is sparkling."

Hayden: "Oof, my back is killing me even more than the first time!"

Duncan: "Let's practise sitting up."

Duncan: "Soon, you'll be able to sit up all on your own!"

Once again, the randomized Winterfest decorations are butt ugly, so Esme had to select them manually.

Since Duncan has now been promoted to a musician, he no longer has to write jokes on the computer and can focus on playing the guitar.

It's Winterfest time!

Woohoo! Latte has reached level 10 of the endurance skill! Now, all she needs to max out is the jumping skill and she'll be maxed out in all her skills!

Axane has been waiting to build a snowpal since the first snowflake fell from the sky.

Axane: "It's ugly, isn't it?"

I have to agree.

Blaire: "Who's my sweet girl that didn't attack any birbs today?"

Raini: "Not me."

Esme: "Finally, no more pumpkin carving! We've carved them all!"

Hooray! Now, Spooky Day will be extra fun since the Parsons now have all the pumpkins in their inventory.

Ignore Rex jumping on the counter for the 100th time in the background and look how cute Pinky is while sleeping!

Hayden: "Oof- I think it's go time."

Right when Rory learned to sit up all on his own!

You've got this, Hayden!

*Sparkles!*

It's boy girl twins! 💙💖 I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TWINS... AGAIN! For the third generation in a row! Introducing Timmy Parsons and Tiffany Parsons! (Ignore the ugly bassinet Tiffany is in, the game wouldn't let me change it.)

Evans: "More twins?"
Hayden: "Yep... didn't realise it ran in the family."

Happy birthday, Evan!

Evan aged up into a young adult!

Now, get out.

Raini: "I never got kicked out because I'm amazing."

While Duncan is taking care of the twins...

Hayden is giving Rory his first ever baby food!

Hayden: "Alright, let's see if you like pureed pumpkin."

He seems pretty unsure about it.

Where the heck have you been this entire chapter?

Servo: "Hiding from these crazies."

Beatrix: "We're finally about to get out of here."

Cole: "Sweet freedom."

Happy birthday, Beatrix!

Cole: "Wait a minute, we're about to lose all our simoleons, aren't we?"

Yes, yes you are.

Beatrix aged up into a young adult!

Now, get out.

Happy birthday, Cole!

Cole aged up into a young adult!

Now, you get out, too.

Servo: "The grand meal is ready!"

Wait! We still have a few more birthdays!

Raini: "This cake looks like it was made just for me."

Well, it wasn't.

Happy birthday, Axane!

Happy birthday, Esme!

Axane aged up into an elder!

So did Esme!

Axane: "We still look good, right?"
Esme: "We've never looked better, honey."

I feel bad for the poor horses having to be outside in the snow!

So many birthdays! Happy birthday, Rory!

Rory aged up into a toddler!

Duncan: "Now that all those birthdays are over with, we can finally eat the grand meal."

Rory: "Why can't I have the grand meal?"

Rory: "I don't want cereal."

Blaire: "Sucks to be you."

Esme: "I'm gonna eat my grand meal on the rocking chair to get some peace away from my family."

Rex: "Can I haz some?"

Axane: "That was so delicious! Can we go back for seconds?"

Todd: "Why stop there? Let's go back for thirds, after! Ho, ho, ho!"

Timmy aged up into an infant!

So did Tiffany!

Since they're full of energy, they can both do some tummy time.

Looks like they're both not hating it so far.

Surprisingly, Tiffany loves tummy time!

So does Timmy! These two should reach their milestones in no time.

Esme: "Nap time! All that tummy time must have tired you out."

Duncan: "Sweet dreams!"

The twins are pretty easy to care for... so far.

While the twins nap, Rory is busy learning the communication skill.

Look who came to visit!

Blaire: "Harry! Did you come to visit because you miss us so much?"

Harry: "Nope. I can't cook and I wanted some of Servo's grand meal."

Esme: "Can you believe this, honey?"
Axane: "Believe what?"

Esme: "This trash can is totally ruining the aesthetics of our house!"

Calm down, ma'am.

Party bot, no! Don't wake the babies!

STOP IT!

Rory: "Where's that music coming from?"

Hayden: "Is the party bot seriously trying to wake the twins?"

Duncan: "Luckily, for some reason, they're still fast asleep."

Time to open up some Winterfest gifts!

Rory: "I got a new race car toy!"

Esme: "Coal again?!"

Esme: "Why do I never get anything good for Winterfest."
Rory: "Father Winter loves me, he got me a race car!"

Todd: "I actually got a good gift, a gaming mat that I'll never use!"

Blaire: "Looks like I'm still Father Winter's favorite, I got another saddle!"

Axane: "If I shake my gift a few times, maybe it'll increase the chances of it being something good."

The twins are now awake. Thanks a lot, party bot.

Servo: "Let's see, what did I get?"

Servo: "More cooking utensils. I guess things are back to normal, no more good Winterfest gifts for me."

Harry has not left the hot tub for hours. Go home!

Servo: "I opened someone else's gift and got a tablet! I'm keeping it!"

Rory: "Hahaha! Servo took someone else's gift!"

Hayden: "Are you ready to go back to sleep, yet?"

Duncan: "I think these two are energized after their nap."

Perfct time to practise sitting up again!

Jenna: "Huh? I got lost in a blizzard and somehow ended up back at my crazy family's house?!"

Hayden: "Hooray! You'll be sitting up all on your own in no time, Tiffany!"

Every time Servo goes to sleep, one of the pets always sleeps by his side. It's so cute!

Hayden and Duncan had to open their gifts a little late since they were caring for the twins.

Hayden: "I wonder what I got?"

Duncan: "Is there a new guitar in this tiny little box?"

Woah, it's snowing a lot outside.

Even this snowpal is trying to figure out a way to escape the Parsons house.

Hooray! Tiffany sat up all on her own!

Esme: "Thanks to grandma Esme."

Axane... is that the designated birthday cake?

Axane: "Maybe."

Servo: "Now, I have to remake that. Thanks a lot. Make sure you sleep with one eye open tonight."

Hooray! Timmy sat up all on his own, too!

Rory is not impressed by this milestone.

Tiffany seems fascinated by Pinky.

Pinky: "What the heck do you want, tiny human?"

Pinky doesn't feel the same way, clearly.

Duncan needs to practise the keyboard for his career task.

His expertise is more so the guitar, as you can see.

Rory: "That music sounds horrible, daddy!"

We love some brutal honesty.

Stan: "Where's Servo? I can't see him with all this snow!"

Esme: "Were you just trying to sneak into our backyard?! Don't come back here again, or you'll be sorry!"

Stan: "Wow, you're literally so rude."

While Duncan works, grandma Esme is here to help out with the twins.

Let's hope Timmy can learn to crawl soon.

Hey, Cole!

Cole: *Ignores*

Yay! Timmy learned to crawl! He doesn't seem too excited about it.

Now, he can learn to stand.

Servo: "Why do I have to teach him?"

Ooh, is Timmy about to stand?

He did it! Yay!

Go, Timmy!

Blaire: "They grow up so fast."

Servo: "It sounds like you need some expert help. If I had ears, they would be bleeding right now."
Duncan: "Gee, thanks, Servo."

Tiffany needs to catch up. Timmy already knows how to crawl and stand.

Esme: "Who's my smart grandson? You are! Yes, you are!"

What wonderful working conditions Duncan has. He's in his garage with a robot staring at his every move while a party bot plays loud music and the animals meow and bark non-stop.

Tiffany caught up fast, she learned how to crawl!

Next, she can learn to stand!

It's New Year's Eve time! 🎉🥳

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

Noooooooooooo! Dream! This is our first horse death, and it's so sad!

Rest In Peace, Dream Parsons. You were a wonderful horse/unicorn and a champion in so many competitions. You will be dearly missed.

This is so sad.

Everyone: *Crying*

I literally almost cried when I saw poor Latte crying.

Blaire: "Dream! My sweet girl!"

Blaire: "I'm gonna miss you so much, you have no idea. Until we meet again..."

Dream's headstone is beautiful. It'll be kept in the backyard.

Esme: "Now, let's teach you to grab. This is how you grab. Now, try and grab one of the playmat toys."

Timmy: "Eh?"

Hayden is pregnant again!

Duncan: "More crazy babies... hooray..."

Hayden: "They may be crazy, but at least they're adorable."

Duncan: "I finished playing the keyboard for the day, now I can go back to the guitar!"

Blaire: "I don't know what I'm gonna do without Dream, she was my best friend."

Todd: "Don't worry, honey, Dream wouldn't want you to be sad. She'd want you to keep taking good care of Latte as you always do."

Rory: "We have a talking llamacorn toy! This is the best toy ever!"

Rex: "I'll guard the house so that the Grim Reaper can't reap anymore souls around here."

A true hero.

Tiffany may be cranky, but she still needs to learn to stand.

Hayden: "Come on, you can do it!"

Esme: "I think she's about to stand!"
Hayden: "I need to take a picture of this."

Hooray! Tiffany stood up all on her own!

Blaire: "I didn't get a picture in time! I forgot how to use my phone as soon as I became an elder!"

Esme: "Ugh! I didn't get one in time, either!"
Hayden: *Sigh* "Elders and their inability to use phones..."

Rory: "I don't want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch!"

Pinky: "I'll have it if you don't want it."

Servo: "Rex, please never grow old and pass away. I can't handle anymore pets passing away."

Rex: "I'll try not to."

Be with someone that looks at you the way Rex looks at Servo.

Esme is warming up by the fireplace because it's freezing outside!

Esme: "I went outside for a few seconds and I instantly regretted it."

Duncan: "I can see why. It's freezing out here, and there's creepy neighbors stalking us!"

Neighbor: "I just wanted to get a glimpse of Servo through the window, that's not stalking!"

That's textbook definition stalking.

Esme: "Here comes the rice pudding airplane!"

Will Timmy like rice pudding?

He loves it!

Once again, I'm a dingus. It turns out, Servo needs to write a letter to his penpals in order to ask for a postcard from them. He has a lot of letters to write.

The twins are up bright and early!

Luckily they can't escape from their cribs... I hope.

Time for Tiffany to learn to grab.

Servo: "This is how. Pretty simple."

Not everyone is an expert at everything like you, Servo.

Axane: "Servo is a genius."

Rory: "I'm smarter than Servo, grandpa."

Poor Esme has to watch the kids TV channel because Timmy is mesmerised by the TV

Looks like he's moved on to the rattle.

Esme: "Ready to try some mashed mangoes, Tiffany?"

She seems pretty undecided about it.

These two won yet another competition!

Latte: "I'm a champion!"

Axane: "Oh, look who's calling, one of my crazy children."

Todd: "My crazy children never call me."

Hooray! Servo earned his physics degree! Next, he'll be studying psychology.

Esme: "How many degrees does Servo have? I've lost count."

Every single one except two of them.

This creepy stan is trying to go full incognito to get a glimpse of Servo through the window.

Axane: "He knows I can still see him, right?"

Axane: "Get out of my backyard, you creep!"

Stan: "How did you even see me? I was crawling on the floor!"

I found a cool mod that lets your sims install a doorbell! I really like it so far.

The first one to use it was this sim.

Aaand of course, Servo answered the door ready to make her swoon.

Servo: "How you doin'?"

Townie: "I'm great after that charming introduction!"

That's what you call 'charming'?

Harry also snuck into the Parsons backyard again to pet the horses.

Servo: "You're the most beautiful sim I've laid my eyes on... in the last hour."

Duncan: "Servo has game? I never knew."

I never knew, either. Single Servo is a different level of wild.

He can get sims to kiss him in a matter of minutes!

Servo: "You know what?"

Townie: "What? You want me to move in with you?"

Servo: "Nope. I want you to leave and never return. Bye bye."

Townie: "What?! Are you kidding me?"

Townie: *Crying* "Why?! How could you, Servo?!"
Servo: "Don't hate the player, hate the game."

Once again, I accidentally left the old rocket ship at the last house, so it needs to be rebuilt.

This neighbor is thoroughly confused as to why a rocket ship is being built in front of a random house and I don't blame her.

Esme and Axane are helping Servo assemble the rocket ship this time.

Tiffany learned to grab! Now, she can play with the rattle.

Duncan: "Guess who got promoted yet again? That's right... me!"

It's time for the countdown to midnight!"

Everyone: "Shashoobee!"

Everyone: "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
