Chapter 340

Servo is working on the 'Master Mixologist' aspiration. He needs to mix 10 drinks.

Oop- that's a creepy looking drink.

Scott: "Hot chocolate for everyone!"

I want hot chocolate, too!

Scott: "Sorry, none for you."

Aww, man.

The party bot decided to wake up Spencer. Thanks a lot, party bot.

Owen: "Did the party bot scare you?"

Paparazzi: "Smile for the camera, Servo!"

Servo: "I have something even better..."

Servo: "FIRE for the camera!"

Paparazzi: "Yes! That's way better!"

Lester: "The party bot woke me up, daddy."

Owen: "I'm starting to think the party bot hates me."

Being the little genius that he is, Jack really wanted a science table.

This will help increase both his mental and logic skill!

The townies are lining up for Servo's drinks.

Tummy time for Spencer!

How the heck did the bar get this filthy?!

Shortcake: "It's from these filthy townies!"
Townie: "AHHH!!!"

Townie: "Calm down, doggo. Do you want a treat?"

Shortcake: "Yes! I love treats!"

We love to see everyone working together!

Nimbus vs. laser pointer.

Lester: "Hahaha! He can't catch the star!"
Nimbus: "I could, if it would just stop moving!"

Kirsten: "Why didn't anyone tell me this game was so hard?!"

According to Kirsten, 'Party Frenzy' is the most difficult game of all time.

There's a very interesting moon, tonight!

Happy birthday, Owen!

Elle: "Just thinking about aging up has me dizzy!"

Happy birthday, Elle!

Owen aged up into an adult!

So did Elle!

Spencer can now do tummy time in his crib, so he should be sitting up and crawling in no time!

Elle: "Man, Servo sure is dedicated. He makes these shaped gems all day and night."

Lester: "Is this a mini Servo?"

Hooray! Spencer sat up all on his own!

Next, time to learn to crawl.

That was fast! Spencer is now crawling!

Owen: "Let's see if you like rice porridge."

*Drumroll*

He hates it.

Owen: "Do I blame him? No."

Mytheme is now fully trained!

Next, time to train Nimbus.

And, I don't mean this Nimbus- wait... are those scratches on the chair?!

Nimbus: "They're not from me, it was the dog."

Clearly, this Nimbus can't be trained.

Nimbus: "Hey, remember when the party bot woke everyone up?"

Don't try and divert the attention from yourself.

These three decided to play party frenzy together!

It looks like fun!

Spencer is awake and ready to learn to stand.

Hooray! Spencer stood up all on his own!

Kirsten: "I'm a proud grandma!"

He also learned to grab!

A-ha! Caught red handed! Nimbus, stop that!

Owen: "You've reached so many milestones today, Spencer!"

Scott is out and about again looking for rose gold, the final metal the Parsons need to complete their metal collection.

When Nimbus isn't scratching dining chairs, he's napping.

Someone is awake bright and early!

He seems very confused by the rattle.

Scott, is this tiny hallway really the best place to read to Lester?

Happy birthday, Lester!

Happy birthday, Spencer!

Lester aged up into a child!

Spencer aged up into a toddler!

Shortcake: "They grow up so fast."

Scott: "Not me, I'm still young and hip."

...Sure.

Elle is burnt out from work, so she's staying home to relax today.

Spencer is working on his communication skill!

The cozy wreaths collectable plaque arrived in the mail!

Lester: "I wonder if there's any voidcritters in the trash?"

Lester: "I found a voidcritter we already have!"

Wow... great news.

We all need a party bot who plays loud carnaval beats music supporting us.

Lester: "Bird watching is boring. I've seen the same bird four times."

Jack's mental skills are levelling up very fast using the science table!

Owen has been sent down to the gardening room to tend to the meat wall. I have no idea what it takes for it to become better quality than 'normal'.

Meanwhile, Elle is taking a mudbath to try and relax. It's making her very stinky.

Woah! What kind of experiment is happening here?

Nimbus is now fully trained!

Next, time to train Simgaia.

Shortcake: "Will I have to be trained next? I don't want to be trained! I want to keep jumping in puddles!"

Pillow fight!

Elle: "Gotcha! Right in the face!"

Owen: "Hey! That almost hurt!"

Elle: "Don't be dramatic, it's only feathers!"

The Parsons are back down in Ciudad Enamorada to look for more axolotls and to find the poor Ring Bear's missing ring.

But, first... food!

Jack: "Yummy! Fish and chips!"

Elle: "Can I have some fish and chips, please?"

Elle: "What did you order, dad?"

Scott: "I have no idea, but it's delicious!"

Servo isn't even here, but the paparazzi are following another celebrity around.

Okay, enough fish and chips. Time for fish and rings!

Owen: "Please be rose gold, please be rose gold, please be rose gold."

Ring Bear: "You guys are helping look for my missing ring? Do you even know how to fish?"

Elle: "Nope, but we don't need to know how to fish when we're looking for a ring... right?"

Owen is here to help out!

Meanwhile, the boys are walking around the park.

After some research, apparently, the Parsons were fishing in the wrong area for the ring.

Scott uses any excuse he can to ride his bike around.

Apparently, this is where the ring is found.

In this beautiful heart-shaped pond.

Don't worry, Ring Bear! We'll find your ring!

Looks like both Owen and Elle have a catch at the same time!

Elle: "No ring in here, just an apple."

Owen: "No ring for me either. I'm getting tired, can we go home yet?"

No! Keep fishing!

It's good to see Sylvia Marie and Frankie Mashuga are still going strong!

Hooray! Servo has reached the top of the culinary career in the chef branch!

Next, he'll be joining the entertainer career in the comedian branch.

After going home to get some sleep, the Parsons are back down in the park in Ciudad Enamorada to fish for the ring.

The boys are also here to play on the jungle gym.

Since Servo is now in the comedian career, he can work on the 'Joke Star' aspiration. He needs to perform 3 comedy routines. Before he can do that, he needs to write them.

Of course, the paparazzi have already found him.

Owen: "Hey! I've got something!"

Owen: "...It was nothing?!"

Owen: "What gives?"
Elle: "You're terrible at fishing, that's what."

It's the pot calling the kettle black.

The boys met some friends near the jungle gym!

Elle: "You call this terrible at the fishing skill?"

Wow, you finally caught a teeny tiny fish. Good job.

Servo: "This first routine is called 'Who Needs Soap?'"

Paparazzi: "Hahaha! Is this going to be about how you don't need soap because you're a robot?"

Servo: "No. It's about all of the stinky townies I've encountered... which is a lot."

Bob and Betty Newbie are also still going strong!

That was fast! Servo has completed the 'Joke Star' aspiration!

Since he's in Ciudad Enamorada, what better time for romance? Servo is back to working on the 'Soulmate' aspiration.

He needs to earn silver on two dates with his spouse.

Of course, Bonehilda has no complaints about this aspiration.

*Kiss*

Bonehilda: "I have the most romantic husband ever!"

Servo has activated his aura of flirtiness, which he has from being level 10 of the romance skill!

Not much romance going on over here. It's been literally all day, and these two are still fishing for the ring. How long is this going to take?!

Paparazzi: "Servo! Bonehilda! Over here!"

Servo: "Just ignore him, honey."

Bonehilda: "No one else exists when I'm with you."

Paparazzi: "OVER HERE, GUYS! LOOK INTO THE CAMERA!"

Servella: "These paparazzi are relentless."

Back at home, Nimbus is, of course, taking another nap.

Lester found this limited edition Fissue voidcritter in the trash! Should the Parsons try and find all of the limited edition voidcritters, even if it means training all of them again?

At last! The crystal tree is finally perfect quality, meaning all of the plants in the Parsons garden are perfect quality again!

*Non-existent sparkles!*

Shortcake aged up into an elder!

Looks like Nimbus had a kitten with another cat in the neighborhood! Introducing Pumpkin Parsons! Isn't she so cute?

Looks like Shortcake also had a puppy with another dog in the neighborhood! Introducing Ringo Parsons!

He's so adorable!

Spencer: "Is our family crazy, mommy and daddy?"

Owen: "How did he catch on so soon?"

Pumpkin: "I'm starting to catch on, too."

Nimbus: "I blame Servo, because it's fun to blame Servo."

Spencer: "I don't want peas!"

Owen: "I can tell by the huge mess you made."

Lester: "All vegetables are gross."

Jack: "I'm not participating in this, I'm just going to keep doing my homework so that I can increase my odds of becoming the next heir."

The Parsons ordered some groceries, but the delivery sim dropped off the bag and ran... I wonder why?

Delivery Sim: "There's way too many pets and robots around here. I'm out!"

Servo: "I should run right along with her!"

No way, sir.

Servo is taking a break from making shaped gemstones and is making all of the canned foods for the crafted items room. The grocery delivery was for a whole lot of sugar, since most of the canned foods require it.

Servo: "My first canned food I made already broke the stove?"

Servo: "Can I fix it myself? Yes. Am I going to let the fixer bot do it for me? Also yes."

Pumpkin: "Judging you."

Servo: "Now that my fixer bot friend is here, I can continue canning."

Onto the next canned food!

It will never not be adorable when the Parsons pets sleep by Servo.

Too much adorableness!

Ringo: "I'm not adorable, I'm fierce!"

Delivery Sim: "...Not this place again."

Owen: "I know what it's like to enter this crazy house. Here's a 100 simoleon tip."

Delivery Sim: "Hey, thanks! I could get used to delivering to this place, after all."

Owen: "Let's learn some manners. An example of manners is when you're a party bot and you don't play loud music while sims are sleeping."

Spencer: "You don't like the party bot, do you, daddy?"

I think the pets want Servo to refill their bowl.

Owen: "I can't wait to try some of this leftover strawberry jam Servo made."

Owen: "This is scrumptious!"

Memories of Toffee.

The boys brought home some school projects! I actually need them to do a poor job of making them for the crafted items room.

Lester: "My volcano is horrible."

That's great news!

Now, we have all(?) of the volcano school projects!

Let's watch them react...

The best one wins, obviously!

Jack: "My castle is so bad."

More great news!

The difference here is quite stark.

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

Noooooooooo! Scott!

Scott: "Take care of my law clients for me."

Rest In Peace, Scott Parsons. You were a wonderful, intelligent sim who loved coffee. You will be dearly missed.

Grim: "Who's excited to see me?"

Literally no one.

At least Scott has a cool spellcaster urn.

Poor Kirsten is devastated.

Simgaia is now fully trained!

Next, time to train Vulpes.

Speaking of training, Ringo is now trained to potty outside!

With Scott no longer with us, it's up to Kirsten to ride around the neighborhood in search for some rose gold.

What's going on here?

Ringo: "It wasn't me."

Pumpkin: "Me either. Blame Shortcake!"

Happy birthday, Jack!

Happy birthday, Spencer!

Jack aged up into a teen!

Spencer aged up into a child!

Jack: "I didn't wanna age up!"

Lester: "Does that mean I'll have to age up soon, too?"

Jack: "Maybe you can find a way to avoid aging using the science table?"

Lester: "That's a great idea!"

Jack: "Make something for me while you're at it, then we'll never have to grow up and get jobs!"

After finally performing 50 romantic gestures with his spouse as soulmates, Servo has completed the 'Soulmate' aspiration!

He also finished making all of the canned food for the crafted items room!

It's Harvestfest time! 🦃🍁🍂

Jack: "I love Harvestfest! Bring on the turkey!"

Spencer: "I don't like Harvestfest turkey."

Owen: "What's not to love about turkey that Servo spent hours slaving over?"

Speaking of which, time for Servo's favorite task of the year... making the Harvestfest turkey.

I'm starting to think the party bot enjoys playing music to sleeping sims in order to wake them up.

Kirsten: "Don't mind us, just hiding from all the crazy sims in the kitchen."

You two aren't exempt from the crazy clan.

Pumpkin: "Let's play!"

Shortcake: "Yeah! Let's run around the house and bark really loud!"

Is that what I think it is?!

Kirsten, you can stop searching!

Kirsten found some rose gold, the final metal the Parsons needed to complete their metal collection again! Hooray!

*Sparkles!*

Pumpkin aged up into an adult!

So did Ringo!

Kirsten: "I deserve a celebratory apple spice nog after finding that rose gold."

Yes, yes you do.

Nimbus will literally nap anywhere.

Hey! Pumpkin, stop that!

Pumpkin: "But, I need to sharpen my claws!"

Owen: "Pumpkin, we don't scratch the furniture."

Pumpkin: "Fine."

Thank gosh Ringo doesn't misbehave as much as the other pets... yet.

Kirsten found the Dream Home Decorator channel on TV! Maybe Elle's work is on here?

The rays of sunshine are home from school.

Bonnie is also here to visit. She's now a teen!

Bonnie: "What's up with him?"
Lester: "Who knows."

Servo: "Have you done your homework, sweetie?"

Bonnie: "Of course I have, dad! I'll make sure everyone else is doing their homework, too."

Jack: "Why is Bonnie watching us do our homework? It's annoying."

Bonnie: "Hey! I'm not annoying!"

Kirsten: "Turkey time!"

Luckily, these two didn't hear that it's turkey time.

Bennett is here solely for the turkey.

Nimbus: "Paws away from my food bowl!"

Nimbus: "She's not allowed near my food bowl, is she?"

She is, because it's all of the pets shared food bowl.

Pumpkin: "You tell him."
