Chapter 338

Elle and Owen are getting ready for another day of jungle exploration! Servo has already found all of the Omiscan treasures he needs to find for his aspiration, so now they're mostly looking for fossils and Omiscan treasures that the Parsons don't have yet to complete their collection.

All Servo needs to do now to complete the 'Jungle Explorer' aspiration is to activate a mystical relic 5 times. He's already done this 3 times in the past... so just 2 more times.

Servo: "Sorry, Elle. I'm not sure whether you'll be cursed or blessed by this mystical relic."

Thank gosh, she's been blessed!

Servo needs to extract a crystal to assemble another mystical relic.

Servo: "That should do the trick."

Servo: "Hopefully this will be another blessing."

Hooray! Another blessing!

Elle: "I'm a skeleton with no needs? Awesome!"

Owen: "Is that really my wife?!"

After activating the mystical relic 5 times, Servo has completed the 'Jungle Explorer' aspiration! He earned the 'Treasure Hunter' trait, which will be super useful. He'll find additional treasure and relics in treasure chests. The Parsons need three different Omiscan treasures to complete their collection.

Elle is back outside digging for more fossils.

She's actually levelling up her archaeology skill quite a lot.

Elle: "Look at this cool skeleton trick I learned!"

Since Elle's needs are constantly full while being a skeleton, she can clear the next jungle path while Servo recharges.

Elle: "That was so scary going through the jungle without Servo going first!"

Servo is awake and ready to clear the next path!

Servo: "That was a close one!"

It looks like there's some kind of par-tay going on in this temple.

There's even a stereo?!

You guys are missing out on the temple party!

Servo is here for one reason and one reason only, and it's not to party.

Elle: "My head!"

Owen: "What wrong?!"

Elle: "It's... it's..."
Owen: "Are you okay, babe?!"

Elle: "It's spinning around 360!"

Owen: "Babe, I love you, but you're super creepy right now."

Elle: "Fear my creepy skeleton bones!"
Owen: *Crying*

Servo: "Insatiable hunger..."

Servo: "...Is what would have happened if I wasn't a robot. Nice try, booby trap!"

Since Servo can't eat the emotional berries to change his emotion while stepping on the plate, Owen is here to help out.

Owen: "I don't think that worked! Please spare me, temple!"

Owen: "Maybe being confident will work out better."

It worked!

Owen: "Go me! I'm awesome!"
Servo: "Don't flatter yourself, now."

Servo: "Some simoleons... not exactly what I'm looking for."

Upstairs, it looks like these sims are enjoying the temple party.

Hooray! Servo managed to find one of the Omiscan treasures the Parsons don't have yet!

Looks like Elle's skeleton blessing has lifted.

Elle: "Wait... what was that?"

Elle: "Bats?! AHHHHH!!!"

Elle: "Oww! That hurt!"

Mortimer: "Servo, I followed you all the way to the jungle to prove what a big fan I am!"

Servo is clearing a path that doesn't lead to a temple, but to a separate area.

Luckily, he knows how to avoid these bees.

No Omiscan treasures to be found in this chest.

Off to the temple!

A true Parsons.

Elle is pregnant! Generation 28 is on the way!

Elle: "I'm pregnant, babe!"

Owen: "Does that mean we don't have to explore anymore temples?"

Elle: "Let's hope so!"

Servo is exploring this temple by himself.

It almost has as much greenery as the actual jungle!

He managed to find another Omiscan treasure the Parsons need!

However, the Parsons still need to find just one more Omiscan treasure to complete their collection, which means they'll either be returning to Selvadorada one day to find it, or Truffles will find it while digging for collectables. Until next time, Selvadorada!

The Parsons are back home in Oasis Springs!

Here are the Omiscan treasures they managed to find!

They just need one last gold perereca frog.

Hadley: "I wanted to go to the jungle."

They also found quite a lot of limestone. There's actually a difference between regular limestone and limestone found in Selvadorada. I read online that you can clone this limestone until you are able to extract the fossil you need! In order for the Parsons to have a better chance at completing their fossils collection, this is the way to go.

Did you just eat all that food?!

Kirsten: "Maybe..."

Since Servo is busy, Bennett will be taking over the cloning process.

Poor Elle has morning sickness quite a lot.

Kirsten: "Will you please help us find the last Omiscan treasure so that no one has to go trekking through the jungle looking for it?"

Bennett: "Ugh! This keeps happening!"

Elle: "Why wasn't I blessed with my own personal sun like Servo?"

The flea market is in town!

Kirsten: "I love the rain!"

Kirsten is here to buy items that can only be found here at the flea market.

She's also looking for snow globes.

Kirsten: "Do you wanna trade snow globes?"

Merchant: "Sure! Why not?"

Merchant: "Here you go."

Maybe if Kirsten clears this table, the merchant will start selling snow globes.

Kirsten spent hours trading snow globes with other sims, but still didn't manage to come across any snow globes the Parsons don't already have. Time to head home!

Happy birthday, Scott!

Happy birthday, Kirsten!

Happy birthday, Bennett!

Happy birthday, Hadley!

Bennett aged up into a young adult!

So did Hadley!

Now, get out.

Scott aged up into an elder!

So did Kirsten!

Scott: "Aren't my glasses fabulous?"

Yes, yes they are.

Old love!

Is it go time?

Kirsten: "Nope. I just need to tinkle."

Yes! Servo was able to clone some limestone and managed to extract a fossil the Parsons don't have yet!

One down, only one more to go.

Elle: "Grilled fruit is definitely my pregnancy craving."

Owen: "It's mine too, even though I'm not pregnant!"

At last, after extracting another cloned limestone, the Parsons have finally completed their fossils collection!

It took so long to complete this collection. Thank gosh for the cloning machine, or who knows if it would have ever happened?!

They're still digging around Oasis Springs everyday looking for rose gold to complete their metals collection again.

Servella: "I think I'm finally about to make some mac and cheese without burning it this time!"

Great job, Servella.

Owen: "I'll just wait here for the mac and cheese to be served."

Hey! Don't try and run away again, party bot.

The Parsons got a call from Freddy the Pizza Guy. He needs a place to stay, so the Parsons' door is wide open for him.

Freddy: "It's nice and air conditioned in here."

Kirsten: "Why is the pizza delivery guy here?"

Freddy: "I called here looking for a place to stay. Whoever picked up said of course, as long as I give you guys free pizza."

Owen: "That was me."

Freddy: "Thanks for giving me a place to stay!"
Kirsten: "Where are the free pizzas?"

Scott: "Those franks and beans made me super gassy!"

The Reapers Rewards event has begun in TS4! The Parsons need to work alongside the Grim Reaper to discover the secrets of ambrosia. I can't wait for them to start earning the super cool rewards! (I'm most excited about the freezer boney collectables.)

Servo: "Hello, spirits. I've called upon you all to discuss ambrosia. The Grim Reaper is worried ambrosia could jeopardize his career. What can you tell me about it?"

Scott: "This isn't creepy, or anything."

Owen: "It's super creepy."

Scott: "Let's hope these spirits aren't offended by me passing gas!"

Owen: "Are you trying to turn this into a haunted house?!"

Servo: "It appears the spirits want me to make some ambrosia to try for themselves... seems sketchy."

Oop- the lights are flickering!

Hooray! We've unlocked the very first freezer boney!

Servo: "I don't want to wait all day for the Ambrosia Society Newsletter to arrive in the mail."

Servo: "I may have just paid the Ambrosia Society 100 simoleons to expedite the delivery of the newsletter."

Scott: "Way to waste some simoleons!"

Servo: "Better than wasting time."

Owen: "I'm in the SpOoKy SpiRiT! I'm gonna watch a scary movie."

I'm out of here. I hate scary movies!

Surprisingly, Kirsten has reached level 10 of the cooking skill! She's always out here cooking on the grill, so I guess it worked in her favor.

Kirsten: "Maybe I'll finally be trusted with cooking in the kitchen, now!"

Servo: "You still can't be trusted."

Elle got promoted after another long 12 hour work day!

Servo needs to research ambrosia on the computer for the next Reaper Rewards task.

Ooh! The Ambrosia Society Newsletter has arrived in the mail!

Elle: "I think it's go time... but I want to finish my franks and beans."

Owen rushed outside to collect the newsletter from the mailbox.

Elle: "Don't tell him I'm in labor until I finish my franks and beans."

Next, the Parsons have to plant a snapdragon and an apple (which they already have, so these will need to be uprooted immediately).

Someone read the newsletter!

Servo: "I need to research a plant? Easy peasy."

Servo: "Hmm... which plant shall I research? I can't choose!"

Does it matter? Just research any plant!

Poor Elle passed out on her way to give birth.

Owen: "Why didn't anyone tell me my wife was in labor?!"

She wanted to finish her franks and beans.

You've got this, Elle!

Elle: "This hurts!"

*Sparkles!*

It's a boy! 💙 Introducing Jack Parsons!

Owen laid down for a second, got up, and instantly grew a beard!

Servo had to cook a meal for another one of the tasks.

His next task is to summon the Grim Reaper using the grimophone and become friends with him.

Mood.

Servo was trying to summon the Grim Reaper, but instead summoned a stan, somehow.

Oh, there you are, Grim. All the way down the street.

Grim Reaper: "I don't see any death around here. Why am I here?"

Servo: "Hey, Grim! Wanna be besties?"

Grim Reaper: "Hmm... we're both immortal, so sure, why not?"

Servo: "That's the spirit! ...Get it? ...Spirit?"

Shortcake: "Good one!"

Servo: "Now... we wait impatiently for the next Ambrosia Society Newsletter since I just paid to have the delivery expedited again."

I have no idea where to put these Omiscan dolls and this Omiscan basket, so I'm just gonna put it in the crafted items room, for now.

Ooh, here comes the mail carrier!

Servo: "Simoleons well spent."

The newsletter says to keep working on gardening in order to get the ingredients for ambrosia. The Parsons already have every plant, so they have nothing to worry about.

The next task is for Servo to do friendly interactions with Grim. (At this point, it was a few weeks later and I forgot Grim needed to be summoned with the grimophone because I'm a dingus. I thought you could only speak to him on the phone, or wait for him to appear after someone to dies.)

Servo: "Grim, how are you-"

Servo: "He hung up on me because he's sleeping. Who knew the Grim Reaper needed sleep?"

Shortcake: "Grrr! That's my plate of food!"

Freddy: "Nice try, doggo."

Jack aged up... and he's invisible.

Scott: "I have an invisible grandson? Awesome!"

Oh, there he is!

Scott: "Thank gosh he's not invisible anymore. Imagine how annoying that would have been."

Owen: "Looks like someone's hungry."

The next task was to plant some more plants. (Which will be immediately uprooted, yet again.)

Freddy: "What a waste."

Another task is to catch 3 fish. Servo's got this!

Owen: "Did he just spit up on my shoulder?"

Yes, yes he did.

The next few tasks are to apply the 'Scare Seeker' lot trait to the house and to fertilize 3 plants.

Scott: "I never realized how big this garden is."

Also, to take a cutting from a plant.

Nap time for Jack!

Elle: "Guys, guess what? My interior decorator work caught the attention of the Dream Home Decorator Network!"

Owen: "It did? So, what does that mean?"

Elle: "It means my most recent project is gonna star in a special feature of Ace of Space on Friday!"

Owen: "That's awesome, babe!"
Kirsten: "I'm super proud of you, honey!"

Elle: "I don't remember signing a release form, but who cares? My work is gonna be on TV! It looks like working 12 hours a day is finally paying off!"

The Parsons completed enough tasks to unlock the starborn freezer boney!

Scott: "Great work for getting your work on TV, honey. That's almost as impressive as being a lawyer."
Elle: *Sigh* "We get it, dad. You're a lawyer and went to university. You survived off of drinking only coffee. We've heard it a thousand times."

Freddy is almost as bad as Kyle with leaving around cans of power-sip llama berry drink.

Servo: "Grim, are you ready to talk yet? I've got a really cool joke about being immortal that only you will understand."

Kirsten: "Must be nice to be immortal... that reminds me, I'm getting old!"

Scott: "I can't watch TV since it'll wake up my grandson, so I'll just sit in the rocking chair and read... wait... I'm getting old, too!"

Servo: "I'm exhausted!"

Servo is working on the 'Outdoor Enthusiast' aspiration. He has to sleep for 5 nights in a tent for at least 6 hours. Since he regains energy pretty quickly, I have to wait until he's very depleted of energy to send him to sleep.

Goodnight, Servo! ...Or, good afternoon?

Bonehilda: "Tell the party bot to stop throwing confetti. I have to vacuum it up non stop!"

Jack is awake and ready to do tummy time!

Seems like he doesn't hate it, so far!

Elle is pregnant again!

Scott and Kirsten began growing distant in their relationship lately, so they're spending alone time together to get back on track.

How was sleeping in the tent, Servo?

Servo: "Horrible."

Kirsten is downstairs in the garden tending to the meat wall. It's still normal quality. I'm not sure how the quality improves since it can't be fertilized like normal plants.

Freddy loves the dishwasher. He dances every time it's running.

Owen: "Once upon a time..."

Jack already hates this bedtime story.

Kirsten: "Ugh, I think I'm getting ill. I'm constantly dizzy!"

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

Noooooooo! Bubblegum!

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

Grim is here! (I still thought this was the only way he would appear at this point.)

Owen: "Grim is scary, isn't he?"

Elle: "He's terrifying!"

Servo: "Is Bubblegum crossing the rainbow bridge? A bridge that leads into paradise?"

Grim Reaper: "Yes, all pets do."

Servo: "That's a relief."

Nimbus: "Cats get to cross the rainbow bridge into paradise because we're awesome. I guess dogs are, too."

More tummy time for Jack!

I just noticed that Grim has a freezer boney on his belt!

Bonehilda: "What's wrong, honey?"
Servo: "Bubblegum just crossed over the rainbow bridge. I'm gonna go inside and cry."

The next task is to read the intro of 'The Green Lady's Tome'.

Shortcake, stop that! You never stop rolling around in puddles!

Another task is to research grafting.

Scott: "What an interesting book."

Kirsten: "I'm still dizzy! I think this thing in the mail says 'The Ambrosia Society Newsletter'? Something about catching an angelfish."

The Parsons completed enough tasks to earn the sugar skull freezer boney!

Nimbus: "The dog is filthy. You'd never see a cat so filthy. We're poised and cleanly."

Another task is to cook a gourmet meal.

Servo: "Which meal shall I cook?"

Nimbus: "A meal specifically for cats."

A much needed bath for Shortcake.

There's so much cooking required in these tasks!

Shortcake: "Can I haz some food?"

The next task is to travel to Casters Alley. Luckily, Scott is a spellcaster and can travel there instantly. I wonder what Grim is sending him down there for?

Scott: "Nothing. Absolutely nothing."

Scott: "Is Grim pulling a prank on me?"

Back at home, I finally figured out how to summon Grim without someone dying! With the grimophone, of course."

The Parsons also earned the Grim's cruiser bicycle!

Of course, I let Scott do the honors of riding it around for the first time.

A Parsons spare has been spotted in the wild!

Servo: "We unexpectedly meet again, Grim."

Grim Reaper: "Uh... didn't you summon me here?"

The next task is to talk to 3 plants.

Scott: "The Ambrosia Society Newsletter? That was fast."

The newsletter was mostly about the death flower. Another task to be completed is to research ambrosia on a computer. Research uncovered that the death flower is Grim's favorite flower and can be offered to him while a sim is dying to continue living. We already know about this, thanks to Roxxi.

Scott: "Ugh, I think I'm getting Kirsten's illness. My head hurts!"

Nimbus: "Stretchhh... that was a nice nap. When should I take the next one?"

Jack: *Burp!*

Owen: "That was loud!"

The next task is to obtain a death flower. Luckily, the Parsons already have a perfect quality death flower plant in their garden.

Another task is to obtain a potion of youth. Servo has over 100,000 reward points, so that was easy. There's also a lot more cooking tasks.

Servo: "I'm gonna make the best mac and cheese you ever did see."

Freddy started overstaying his welcome, so I kicked him out, but now all he does is fix the doorbell all day?

Scott: "Is the next newsletter here yet? Where am I? I'm going to bed, everything's spinning."

The Parsons earned enough points for the metallic and plush freezer boneys! Only one more freezer boney to go!

Elle: "The freezer boneys are so cute!"

Servo: "Gourmet tiramisu, anyone?"

Finally, Servo completed the hundreds of cooking tasks! Only one more week of tasks to go.
