Chapter 339

Someone's about to reach a milestone!

Hooray! Jack sat up for the first time on his own!

Next, time to learn how to crawl.

Elle: "Is everything spinning, or is it just me?"

Owen: "Elle is sick? Aww, man. That means I'm gonna get sick, too."

It's Egg Day time! 🐰🥚🌸

Cyprin is now fully trained!

Next, to train Fissure.

Owen: "Where is our very scary guard dog? I need her to scare these annoying guests away."

Shortcake: "I don't feel like scaring away guests today."

Maybe the party bot's loud music will be enough to scare them off, instead.

Hooray! Jack is now crawling.

Bonnie is here to visit! She's aged up into a child!

Next, time for Jack to learn to stand.

Kirsten: "So, you want to have a voidcritter battle?"

Bonnie: "I'm not sure if it'll be fair to call it a 'battle', since I'm gonna win hands down."

Kirsten has brought out Pleuro to battle Bonnie!

Bonnie: "Your voidcritter fainted! I won!"

Kirsten: "All that training for nothing?!"

Kirsten: "I demand a rematch!"

Hooray! Jack is now standing all on his own!

Kirsten: "I'm doing way better this battle!"

Bonnie: "You still won't win."

Owen: "Let's see if you like pumpkin purée."

The final verdict is…

He loves it!

Owen: "Thank gosh!"

Servo: "I sense my daughter just embarrassed someone in a voidcritter battle."

Bonnie: "I won again!"

Kirsten: "I can't believe I lost again."

Don't be sad about it. She is Servo's daughter, after all.

Servo: "You're a winner at everything, just like dad."

Bonnie: "Exactly, dad!"

Elle: "I think it's go time."

You've got this, Elle!

Owen: "What's going on?! I just woke up from my nap!"

*Sparkles*

It's a boy! 💙 Introducing Lester Parsons!

Servo has so many of these Omiscan relics and bases in his inventory. Maybe he can assemble every single one possible for the crafted items room?

Jack learned to grab!

Owen: "What kind of toy is this? It's so boring!"

Nimbus: "Get me out of here away from these crazy sims!"

Look who found the rattle!

Shortcake: "I will protect the tiny hooman forever."

Cutest thing ever!

Jack is lucky to have Shortcake as a protector. She's the best guard dog. Except for yesterday.

The Flower Bunny is here!

Servo: "My love, I heard we're becoming disconnected because we've been so busy lately."

Bonehilda: "I crave your love and attention always."

Luckily, Servo is level 10 romance skill and can rekindle their spark instantly.

Owen: "Now that you can grab, let's try some finger food."

Owen: "Try some peanut butter puffs!"

He likes them!

Happy birthday, Jack!

Jack aged up into a toddler!

He's Owen's twin.

Lester aged up into an infant!

He already loves tummy time.

Elle is pregnant again!

The new Lovestruck pack makes it difficult to maintain romantic relationships. Bonehilda is here yet again to rekindle her romance with Servo.

Scott: "Someone's hungry after tummy time."

Rekindle that spark, because you two aren't breaking up again on my watch!

Jack's first real solid food. They grow up so fast!

The final Ambrosia Society Newsletter is here!

Servo is too busy pranking Bonehilda to care. Could someone get the mail?

Kirsten: "Hmm... it's the moment of truth, it's time to make ambrosia. That sounds like a task for Servo."

One of the Reaper Rewards event tasks was to earn silver on a social event, so he hosted a date with Bonehilda and the Parsons got the final freezer boney!

Nimbus: "I'm not impressed by the freezer boney collection."

He also has to make ambrosia, which is what the entire event was preparing for. However, he could have done this in his sleep way before the event, as we all know.

There it is!

Servo is also trying to complete the 'Outdoor Enthusiast' aspiration, and has to sleep in a tent for 5 nights in a row. For some reason, this has only worked once, so let's see if it works again tonight.

Lester is always so happy during tummy time!

The freezer boney collectable plaque has arrived in the mail! I love it!

Shortcake! Don't bring down the mood by jumping in puddles!

Scott: "What the heck happened here?"

Someone refused to eat some vegetables today and threw his food off the high chair while I wasn't looking.

Poor Scott is exhausted after cleaning that high chair.

Bonnie is here to visit for the weekend!

Bonehilda is also here, and even though she's off the clock, she can't help but clean up after the Parsons.

Hooray! Jack has already maxed out his communication skill!

Bonehilda: "I love you, honey."
Bonnie: "Mooom, stop!"

Bonnie: "Hugs are not as embarrassing!"

Bonnie, stop that!

Shortcake, oh my gosh! Don't make it worse!

Servo: "Bonnie, you know we shouldn't be making messes."

Bonnie: "Sorry, dad."

Servo: "That goes for you too, Shortcake."

Shortcake: "Sorry, dad."

Scott: *Sigh* "Remember that time I went sledding?"

...You've never been sledding.

Somehow, poor Servo is always the one who has to clean up after everyone.

Uh oh, looks like Owen was right. Elle's illness has spread to him.

Servella is here to visit, too!

Kirsten: "Milestone alert!"

Hooray! Lester sat up for the first time! He's crying nonstop for no reason, though.

Nap time after that milestone!

Uh oh, one of the pets must be sick! Lucky for the cleaner bot.

Elle: "I feel great today, my illness must have jumped from me to Owen!"

Jack: "Look! Mr. Superhero is the best toy ever!"

Elle: "It's go time, but I also desperately need to tinkle!"

You've got this, Elle!

*Sparkles!*

It's a boy! 💙 Introducing Spencer Parsons!

Mytheme is now fully trained!

A random neighbor came over with a gift for Servo.

Neighbor: "I heard how ungrateful your family is, so I brought you this gift."

Servo: "For me? You shouldn't have!"

A rare moment of Servo receiving the appreciation he deserves.

Shortcake: "Tell him when he's done receiving his gift, that I dropped another one for him in the backyard."

Scott: "How the heck did this fire start?!"

Kirsten: "It's those stupid filth fiends, isn't it?!"

Nimbus can officially say he napped through a fire.

Owen: "Is the fire out, yet?!"

It's been out for 20 minutes, now.

Time for Lester to learn to crawl!

Nimbus: "And time for me to take another nap."

Hooray! Lester is now crawling!

Kirsten: "My grandbabies are growing up too fast!"

Next, learning to stand.

Servo has reached the top of the politics career in the politician branch! Next, he'll be joining the culinary career in the chef branch. We all know how much I hate this career because of how long it takes to get promoted due to the limited work days. At least this finally gives Servo the chance to complete the 'Master Chef' aspiration.

Lester is such a happy infant!

Now that he's awake from his nap, he can try his first baby food.

He loves oatmeal porridge!

Uh oh, is Nimbus developing an obsession with the toilet just like Toffee?

Nimbus: "What kind of fool do you think I am? I'm merely admiring the toilet."

Thank gosh the cleaner bot got to this trash pile before Shortcake had the chance.

Nimbus: "Can I haz a nap here?"

Owen: "Of course you can-"

He's already knocked out.

The Cozy Celebrations event is here! Jasmine Holiday is on a special mission to discover the wonderful traditions that sims around the world share with their loved ones and needs a hand.

The first task of this event is to cook some Japchae. Kirsten is right on it since she's level 10 in the cooking skill.

Kirsten: "The Japchae turned out great, if I do say so myself."

The Parsons unlocked the first reward, which is this collectable cozy festive wreath! I love collectables, so I'm very excited about this!

Happy birthday, Jack!

Happy birthday, Lester!

Jack aged up into a child!

So did Lester!

Spencer aged up into an infant!

Elle: "This is usually the time when I get pregnant again, isn't it?"

Servo still isn't having luck with completing the task of sleeping in a tent for the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration.

Servo: "You're telling me I slept in this uncomfortable tent yet again for no reason?"

Let's focus on the Master Chef aspiration, instead. Servo needs to create three kinds of excellent food, which he can do with his robot eyes closed.

Spencer is Owen's clone.

Another task from the Cozy Celebrations event is to ask sims about their holiday traditions.

Kirsten: "What are your holiday traditions?"

Scott: "Honey, you've been living with me for many years. You know my holiday traditions include being very judgemental while decorating the winterfest tree and having Servo cook us all a grand breakfast while listening to loud winter holiday music that I hate with every fiber of my being."

Jack is a little genius. As soon as he aged up, he made sure to get straight to finishing his homework.

Kirsten: "What are your holiday traditions, sweetie?"

Kirsten: "Mom, you already know this. You've been living with me since I was born. It's exactly what dad said."

Lester: "I love winterfest!"

Kirsten: "Looks like the next task is to cloudgaze."

Nimbus, stop that!

Kirsten: "Wow... so beautiful... there's not one cloud in the sky to gaze at."

Scott: "Nimbus, don't eat human food."

Nimbus: "Don't tell me what to do."

Poor Spencer does not love tummy time as much as his brother Lester did.

The next task is to have a nice chat about holiday traditions.

Scott: "We already know what our favorite holiday tradition is. Right, honey?"
Kirsten: "Yep! When Servo cooks food for us."

Servo: "What's my favorite holiday tradition? I wouldn't know, I spend my entire holiday making sure everyone else has a good winterfest."

Scott: "Just how it should be."

Another task is to cook brigadeiro!

Scott: "What's your favorite holiday tradition, Jack?"

Jack: "When we all get good gifts and Servo receives bad ones."

Scott: "Oh, I forgot about that one!"
Servo: "Seriously?"

Kirsten: "Another delicious meal made by yours truly."

Now, Scott has to document the research.

Nap time for Spencer!

Lester: "A mini dinosaur? I thought there was no such thing!"

Beautiful butterfly alert!

Bianca: "Hey, guys! Could you let me in? I have this super cool ball of clay to show you!"

Bianca has gone into full townie mode.

Kirsten: "Guests? Let me clean this room that no one will ever enter!"

A true mom.

Lucky for Jack, the TV has extra channels and he gets to watch the kids brainiacs channel!

Meanwhile, Lester is working on his communication skill!

I don't know what's more creepy, the skull shaped gem, or Servo's head doing a 360 spin.

Looks like Owen likes this channel, too. It's very interesting, so far.

Another festive wreath unlocked!

Kirsten baked some cookies for another one of the event tasks.

Owen: "Would it be irresponsible if I said we should have those cookies for dinner?"

Jack: "That's very irresponsible, dad... but also a great idea."

Another event task is to prepare a traditional coquito. Kirsten has no mixology skills, so this is a job for our beloved Servo.

Oop- looks like Kirsten cleaned the crafted items room for good reason, because Bianca has made her way down here.

Servo: "The coquito is served!"

The next task is to research about holiday traditions on the web.

Scott: "I'll complete the task of drinking the coquito."

...That's not one of the tasks, but knock yourself out.

Servo needs to host a dinner party for his aspiration and cook three gourmet dishes at said event. He'll just invite Bonehilda, Servella and Bonnie over since this house is already chaotic enough without having a whole bunch of sims here.

Servo: "Three gourmet meals coming right up!"

Bonnie: "I need to learn how to cook gourmet meals as soon as I age up!"

Bonehilda: "I was just here cleaning up after these sims all day, do I really have to come here again?"

Oh, gosh. I guess there's gonna be a bunch of sims here after all, since the next event task is to invite over three sims.

Kirsten: "Make that four. I'm inviting all of my kids over."

It's packed in here! At least now, the task of having three sims dance to winter holiday music can be completed pretty quickly.

Bonnie, don't put that book away! It's meant to stay in the crafted items room!

Another task is to cook hallaca.

Servella: "That looks delicious, already! It must be nice to know how to cook. I can't even make a salad!"

Another book? Bonnie, stop that!

Bonnie: "No."

So many delicious meals are being made tonight!

Hooray! Servo has completed the 'Master Chef' aspiration!

Servo: "Kirsten left this in the oven, so I had to finish it for her. She may be level 10 of the cooking skill, but she's definitely not cut out to be a master chef like me."

The next task is to play an instrument and sing. That's a job for Servo! He's putting the poor party bot out of a job, though.

Hooray! The Parsons have now completed enough tasks to complete their cozy wreaths collection!

Another task is to prepare some hot cocoa with the new hot cocoa tray!

Servo: "Who wants some hot cocoa with marshmallows?"

Poor Spencer had a diaper blowout!

Kirsten: "Grandma to the rescue."

The next task is to play a multiplayer game with the new console.

Servo: "Are you up for the challenge of playing Party Frenzy with me?"

Scott: "Of course I am. I'm gonna kick your robot butt!"

Scott: "Aww, man! I'm already losing!"

The final task of the cozy celebrations event is to share the discoveries with Jasmine Holiday! What a wonderful event!

Shortcake may not be afraid of sims...

But she is, however, very much afraid of the new console, for some reason.

Shortcake: "It's so scary!"

Servo is tired after completing all of those event tasks. He needs some much needed recharging!
