The Parsons Legacy: April 2025

Cody is not excited about the news the Parsons about to receive.

Daniella is pregnant again!

Elle: "These sour jellybeans are hardly sour enough."

(The Spooky Day festivities continue. I thought they were over by now.)

Elle: "Here's a treat. No tricks here!"

Townie Teen: "Thanks so much!"

Ringo: "I want a treat, too!"

Jack: "This book about space isn't even accurate. Trust me, I would know. I've been to space!"

Who cares, just read her to sleep!

Bonehilda: "Even on my day off, there's still dirty plates awaiting me at every corner."

Nothing to see here, just two identical cats doing synchronized sleeping on the same couch.

Sunshine: "Not anymore."

Pumpkin: "Enough sleeping on the couch. I'm back to being queen ruler of the washing machine."

I didn't realize the washing machine needed a queen ruler.

The Parsons headed back down to the tattoo shop for Servo's aspiration. This horse counted as a 'customer'. Maybe those spots are actually tattoos?

Servo: "My card declined?! ...Just kidding. Of course it didn't."

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

Nooooooooo! Owen! ...You're really gonna die next to some giant horse poop?

Owen: "Yes, yes I am."

Owen: "Take care of my family for me."

Rest In Peace, Owen Parsons. You were a wonderful, friendly sim. You will be dearly missed.

Please don't cry! Every time a horse cries in TS4, I automatically want to cry, too!

Elle: "I've also lived a long life, it's time for me to go, too."

Nooooooooo! Elle! ...You're also dying near the giant horse poop!

Elle: "If that's what it takes to die next to my husband and an adorable horse, then so be it."

Elle: "Take care of my interior designs for me."

Rest In Peace, Elle Parsons. You were a wonderful sim who loved interior decorating. You will be dearly missed.

Oh my goodness, this adorable horse crying is making me so sad!

Amidst the tragedy of Owen and Elle dying, this sim appears to be getting a leg tattoo by Servo.

Servo: "Make sure to stay still."

With his mentor's help, Servo has already reached level 10 of the tattooing skill!

Servo: "I might as well purchase some of these ceramic items for the crafted items room while I'm here."

Servo: "I'll make some coffee to take home, too."

Servo: "Coffee for everyone! Ghosts included!"

Ghost: "How nice of you to include ghosts! No one ever thinks of us."

Back at home, the girls are working on building a house out of building blocks!

Meanwhile, Servo is holding another pottery class.

Townie: "I'd better take notes. This robot is talented!"

Hannah: "A gothic sim has just moved into town!"
Hallie: "With her pet cat who's bigger than she is for some reason."

Hey! Which customer knocked over the garbage can outside?!

Maci: "It wasn't Teresa triceratops!"

Hooray! Cody is now crawling!

The twins are learning how to ride a bike!

Hallie: "This isn't easy without training wheels, that's for sure!"

You're here to learn pottery, not play soccer!

Someone broke someone else's ceramic item, too. It's chaos around here.

Servo: "These customers are even more chaotic than my family, and that's saying a lot."

It has started to snow in Willow Creek!

Daniella: "I'm feeling what feels like contractions right now."

Happy birthday, Jack!

Happy birthday, Cody!

Happy birthday-

Daniella: "Hold that thought."

Daniella: "I'm in labor."

You've got this, Daniella!

*Sparkles!*

It's a girl! 💖 Introducing Erin Parsons!

Okay, back to the birthdays. Happy birthday, Daniella!

Jack aged up into an adult!

So did Daniella!

Cody aged up into a toddler!

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

She's so cute!

There seems to be yet another secret robot meeting happening... only this time, Servo is included. Hmm...

Jack: "I'll have to interrupt the secret robot meeting to feed crying Erin."

Servo's Pottery Class is open for business again!

Pumpkin: "Who are all these sims? Tell them to leave."

Sunshine thinks she can scratch the bed while everyone is busy? Not on my watch!

Pumpkin is the main attraction of the customers today.

Servo: "I've been upstaged by Pumpkin, it appears."

Customer: "I'm here for the cat. Where is she?"

Since Servo is busy teaching his pottery class, Daniella is in charge of cooking today.

Daniella: "Please don't burn, please don't burn, please don't burn."

Looks like Daniella's cooking didn't go horribly wrong and everyone got to eat breakfast!

Cody: "Yay!"

Pumpkin, stop stealing Servo's customers!

Cody has begun to work on his communication skill!

Another customer snuck down into the crafted items room and broke one of Servo's ceramics! That's just going way too far.

WARNING! Very dangerous guard cat at the door!

After teaching a gold level class two times, Servo has completed the 'Master Mentor' aspiration!

Now, he can give his full attention to the 'Esteemed Entrepreneur' aspiration. He wants his business to have the 'Dreamer' alignment instead of the 'Schemer' alignment. The best way to do that is to talk to customers about how his business started and to motivate them to start their own business. His business is also now a 'Thriving Startup'!

Another one of the tasks of the 'Esteemed Entrepreneur' aspiration is to hire an employee and become friends with them. Meet Servo's new hire who is only level 2 pottery skill but was the only sim who had any pottery skill at all!

Another successful day!

Happy birthday, Maci!

Maci aged up into a child!

Erin aged up into an infant!

Daniella: "You're mommy's twin, aren't you?"

Jack: "Puppy hugs are the best!"

Sleep time for Erin!

Servo is back to working on crafting jewelry for the crafted items room.

Donut: "Wanna play?"

Ringo: "I'm too old to run around the house at the speed of light."

Donut: "Are you sure?"

Donut: "I have all the energy in the world!"

The paparazzi broke into the Parsons house yet again. I'm not sure how mad I am about this, since he seems to be preparing a meal for the Parsons.

Sunshine: "Who the heck is that?! Get him out of here!"

Ooh, he made some fish!

Sunshine: "...Never mind, he can stay."

Servo: "Sunshine! How many times have I told you, no human food!"

Uh oh, he's taking pictures!

Paparazzi: "Servo disciplining his cat? Front page news, right there!"

Poor Erin hates tummy time.

Servo: "Would you like to hear about how I started my small business with only a humble $9,999,999 simoleons in my bank account?"

Townie: "How many simoleons did you just say? That's not a humble start to a small business!"

Servo: "Maybe I should have started off the story with the fact that I turned my tiny study room into a thriving business, instead."

It's Winterfest time! 🎄🎅🎁

Erin lifted her head for the first time!

There's a disruptive customer pranking all of the other customers! There doesn't even seem to be an option to ask him to leave, so I guess everyone will keep getting pranked until he leaves voluntarily.

Jack: "Hmm... how should we decorate the winterfest tree this year?"

Jack: "Yellow and red decorations it is!"

Maci: "Great color scheme, dad!"

The disruptive customer is relentlessly bullying this poor customer.

Sunshine, don't come to this area! You'll steal all of Servo's customers again!

Cody: "Yellow crab block!"

What ever happened to the green crab block?

The winterfest tree is now fully decorated!

Jack: "Ringo has been begging to go on a walk all day, even though it's freezing cold."

Well, well, well, look who has returned.

Trashley: "Trashley heard that Servo is getting hang of business! Trashley now invites Servo to Nordhaven to purchase cool mystery boxes."

Servo: "Cool mystery boxes? Sign me up! I'll be there."

*Non existent sparkles!*

Pumpkin aged up into an elder! (Now, it'll be a little easier to tell her and Sunshine apart.)

After riding around the neighborhood on his bike, Jack has reached level 10 of the fitness skill! Hooray!

Speaking of bikes, the twins have now learnt how to ride a bike!

Servo's small business has now reached 'Virtuous Alignment'. He's very happy about this, because being a 'Dreamer' aligns with his personality and views perfectly. He could never be a 'Schemer'.

Hooray! Erin sat up for the first time on her own!

Daniella: "Yay for milestones!"

Speaking of milestones, she learned to stand immediately after!

'Twas the night before winterfest...

Servo is adding a water recycler and H2O siphoner to each of the plumbing appliances. This should hopefully help him finally save enough water to make some money on the next utility bill and get closer to completing the 'Eco Innovator' aspiration.

Hallie: "I think I have a loose tooth!"

Hannah: "So do I!"

Looks like the tooth fairy will be here tonight!

Jack: "This grand breakfast isn't as scrumptious as I had hoped it would be."

Maci: "How dare you insult Servo's cooking."

Hallie: "Where's your teeny tiny gothic owner, kitty cat?"

It's almost time to open the gifts! Erin is very excited.

Daniella: "She'll have to wait. I need to tinkle!"

It's gift opening tiiime!

Erin got a chompy toy!

Maci: "I want a chompy toy, too!"

Cody: "I got a race car toy!"

Daniella: "This sounds like it's cheap... please don't be cheap."

Jack: "A new astronaut suit? Awesome!"

Servo: "This gift couldn't be any worse."

(I kid you not, Servo was literally gifted dog poop. How could anyone be so cruel to poor Servo?)

Time for Erin to learn how to crawl!

Servo is still adding the plumbing appliance upgrades. This had better be worth it!

Hooray! Erin is now crawling!

After the twins learnt to ride their bikes, Maci wanted to learn, too!

Daniella: "Go, Maci! Great job!"

Servella: "I want to learn, too!"

Servo: "Here's a winterfest for my wonderful daughter."

Servo: "Aww, dad! You shouldn't have!"

Servella: "A bunch of skill books? I needed these!"

Sunshine: "Where's my plate of food?"

You have a food bowl full of cat food downstairs!

Hallie decided to build a snowpal!

Jack joined in, too!

Jack: "I love winter so much!"

Meanwhile, Servo is recycling random items to refill the H2O siphoner with.

Servo: "These appliances are now officially independent from the grid."

*Sparkles!*

Donut aged up into an adult!

She's adorable!

Pumpkin: "Hey, you said you didn't like the grand breakfast! Hand it over!"
Jack: "Are you kidding me?!"

Erin is up right at sunrise!

Servo's customers sure are dedicated. They came here in the middle of a huge blizzard!

Employee: "This jazz music is so relaxing."

It distracts from how crazy the household is.

According to a random phone call, someone has stolen Servo's business idea. I have no idea what will happen now, but hopefully it doesn't mean less customers.

Erin thinks these building blocks are the funniest thing ever, because she unlocked the laugh milestone by playing with them.

Sims are risking their lives just to come to Servo's business. No idea-stealing thief is ever going to bring him down!

Hooray! Maci learned to ride a bike!

Happy birthday, Hallie!

Happy birthday, Hannah!

Happy birthday, Cody!

Happy birthday, Erin!

Hallie aged up into a teen!

So did Hannah!

Cody aged up into a child!

Erin aged up into a toddler!

Jack decided to use Servo's satellite to contact some aliens. Maybe they'll be visiting soon?

Jack: "Let's hope they're nice aliens."

It's too late now, you can't exactly un-contact them.

Jack: "What do you think of breakfast today, honey?"

Daniella: "It's good... only because you didn't make it."

Daniella: "You can't cook! You can't hardly do anything!"

Jack: "You know what? That's it! I told you that if you insulted me one more time, I was divorcing you, and I meant it! It's over!"

(The actually autonomously happened without my control.)

Poor Jack now has to go to work heartbroken.

After the divorce, Daniella decided to move out of the house.

She's still more than welcome to come visit the kids anytime she wants.

It's New Year's Eve time! 🎉🥳

Poor Cody is devastated about the divorce.

Luckily, the girls are here to help care for Erin today.

And for the pets, too.

Daniella immediately came by to visit while Jack was at work.

Hallie: "Hey, mom! It's great to see you."

Daniella: "It's great to see you, too, my lovely daughter."

She'll be here taking care of the kids while Servo and Jack head down to Nordhaven.

Servo: "Alright, we're on the lookout for a bunch of racoons in a trench coat."
Jack: "Copy that!"

Servo: "They're not in this alleyway... wait a minute... do you smell something burning?"

A random fire has started on a townie's balcony!

Servo and his freeze ray are here to save the day!

Hey! There's Trashley!

Servo: "Hey, Trashley! I'm here to purchase 50 of each box you have."

Trashley: "Sound good. Here's boxes."

Jack: "What's inside these boxes?"

Trashley: "Could be any item inside boxes. Some boxes have no item!"

Servo: "Will I get reimbursed for those boxes?"

You really think a bunch of racoons in a trench coat standing in an alleyway selling mysterious boxes will reimburse you for nothing being in one of the boxes?

Jack: "I guess we'd better skedaddle."

First, Servo wants to 'clean the canal' for Nordhaven bike parts, a new collection!

Servo: "Found one!"

Perfect! Time to head home.

Jack: "These ribs are delicious!"

Are you planning on removing your bike helmet anytime soon?

Apparently not. Jack decided to sleep outside alone tonight (in his bike helmet and in the freezing cold snow) not only because of the pain of the divorce, but also to see if any aliens approach the house.

Donut loves sleeping by Servo's side.

Jack: "Hey, wait a minute... is that...?"

A spaceship!

Jack: "I'm starting to second guess contacting these aliens. Is it too late to turn back, now?"

It's way too late. See you once they return you back to Willow Creek, Jack!

These two sleeping on this couch will never not be adorable.

Donut: "Why can't I sleep on the couch, too?"

A few hours later, Jack has returned.

Jack: "I can hardly remember anything that happened up there, but that was awesome!"

Now, you can go back to sleeping in your bed... still wearing your bike helmet.

Poor Pumpkin has lava paws!

Jack: "This bike helmet is giving me a headache, especially after showering with it."

Then why don't you take it off?!

Cody is learning to ride a bike today!

Maci: "One day, he'll be able to ride around Willow Creek with me!"

After finally being able to sell water on a utility bill, voting on a neighborhood action plan and influencing other sims to do the same, Servo has finally completed the 'Eco Innovator' aspiration!
