Chapter 347

Cody is one brave sim. He's using the telescope despite a near miss with a meteor and also actually being hit by a meteor, dying and coming back to life.

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

Noooooooooo! Pumpkin!

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

Servo is researching conversation for his career right now. He's so close to reaching the top of this career, which hasn't been easy since he's simultaneously running a small business from home.

Sunshine, stop that!

Servo: "You too, Donut? Guess who gets to clean all this up? Me!"

Zaylee: "Poor Servo always has to clean."

At least someone feels bad for him.

The cleaner bot has come to Servo's rescue!

Employee: "Another day of loud obnoxious jazz music in a tiny crowded room full of sims talking loudly and learning pottery."

Look who's already a little artist!

Hooray! Servo has reached the top of the conservationist career in the environmental manager branch.

Next, he'll be joining the salaryperson career in the 'expert' branch.

Servo's Pottery Class is open for business and everyone has decided to crowd around outside for no reason.

Speaking of Servo's Pottery Class, it is now a 'Community Staple'! Only one more level to go until it reaches 5 stars. Servo has also earned 3 business perk points which he spent on the 'muscle memory' perk, which helps repetitive business tasks become not so boring.

The party bot is the main attraction for the customers today besides standing outside.

Customer: "Yeehaw! I love country music!"

Customer: "I peed myself! I'm leaving this place a bad review!"

Jack: "Servo still found time to cook us dinner in between running a business, having a career and crafting every single piece of jewelry? How nice of him!"

Employee: "I'm gonna teach a music class instead of a pottery class since this place always has loud jazz music blasting all day long!"

Uh... Cody, I think Sunshine is trying to steal your food.

Cody: "I pretend I do not see her."

Sunshine: "How did you guys know of my master plan to steal the food?"

You made it quite obvious.

It must be old ladies day today. They're holding onto every word Servo says in this class.

A special customer has arrived! Hi, Bonnie!

Erin loves taking the pets for walkies everyday!

This is how I discover that Bonnie is married to Alexander Goth?

Alexander: "This is how I discover that my wife's dad is a robot? I thought we were just attending a pottery class."

Wait until you hear who her mom is.

The N.A.P. inspector is here, and for the first time in a while, the Parsons actually have most of their appliances upgraded to be eco-friendly since it was a requirement for one of Servo's aspirations, so maybe they'll see a reduction in their bills!

Servo: "Now that you're a young adult, I wanted to give you this. It'll help you live forever alongside your mom, sister and I."

Bonnie: "Really?"

Bonnie: "Thanks, dad!"

Servo: "You'll even outlive your new husband by a longshot!"
Alexander: "Did I just hear that correctly?"

Bonnie: "A potion of immortality?!"

Bonnie: "Now, this is awesome!"

*Gulp*

Bonnie: "Woah!"

Bonnie is now immortal!

Bonnie: "Where did you even get a potion of immortality from?"
Servo: "Plopsy."

Remember to always check Plopsy. They sell great random items!

Cody: "Do you think I could have a potion of immortality next?"

Maybe if you study for your finals.

Cody: "Let me get right on that, then."

Sunshine: "My food bowl was empty for two whole hours. How dare you."

Bonnie: "Do you guys mind if I take some stuff from your garden?"

Knock yourself out.

Of all things, you harvest the meat wall?!

And some basil? You must be making spaghetti bolognese.

Sunshine: "Who the heck is that at the door?"

Relax, it's just a Parsons spare trying to break in for the 500th time.

The perks of a green neighborhood...

An aurora borealis!

Happy birthday, Zaylee!

Happy birthday, Maci!

Happy birthday, Erin!

Maci aged up into a young adult! Now, get out.

Erin aged up into a teen!

Zaylee aged up into a child!

This stan is relentless. He breaks into the house every single night!

Cody: "Your math homework is way more difficult than I remember my grade school math homework being."

Zaylee: "Because I'm a genius, so they give me genius homework."

Erin: "BURN!"

It's Leisure Day, so the Parsons decided to have a water balloon fight!

Jack: "Think fast!"

Erin: "Hey!"

Jack: "Hahaha! I can't believe I was successful!"
Zaylee: "Look out, dad!"

Servo: "That was an embarrassing miss."

Zaylee: "Ugh! I can't believe I missed."

Jack: "How dare you try to hit me with a water balloon."

Zaylee: "Isn't that what 'water balloon fighting' is all about?"

Uh oh!

Jack: "Ha! You both missed!"

Servo: "Look out!"

Jack: "HEHEHE! NO ONE CAN HIT ME!"

Erin: "How has every single sim here missed?"

Jack: "You can't hit me! You can't hit me!"
Servo: "Never get too confident."

Cody: "Incoming!"

Jack: "Oww!"

Erin: "Finally!"

Oh, come on! Can't poor Servo have a water balloon fight in peace without paparazzi showing up?!

Cody: "I've done the impossible! I hit dad with a water balloon! I'm officially the water balloon fighting king!"

Cody: "Yikes! Dad getting hit by a water balloon has done viral on social bunny thanks to that paparazzi."
Erin: "That's what he gets!"

The Parsons decided to travel down to Newcrest next for Leisure Day and Servo's fans are already following him.

Servo: "Who's ready to watch a comedy movie?"

Everyone is off to the cinema to watch a comedy movie called 'All My Friends are Fred'.

Oh my... it appears poor Hannah is now homeless after being kicked out of the Parsons house!

After the movie, the Parsons went over to the nearby splash pad!

Cody: "I love Leisure Day!"

Servo: "Don't mind me, I'm just having the time of my life!"

Servo: "Becoming waterproof was the best thing I ever did!"

While Servo has the time of his life at the splash pad, everyone else is enjoying some hamburgers.

Jack: "Who's excited for fireworks and sparklers?"

Cody: "Not as excited as Servo is about the splash pad."

Servo: "Please don't make me leave. I love it here."

Too bad. Time to go home.

Time for fireworks-

Oh no!

I guess the fireworks were too close together. Poor Jack and Cody got singed!

At least the fireworks are still pretty.

Ooh! A plumbob!

A firework on the ground?!

Zaylee: "They're supposed to be in the sky!"

Jack: "Great... now, I stink!"

After lighting the fireworks, the kids started using the sparklers!

Cody: "I'm scared. Can this explode, too?"

Zaylee: "The sparklers are so much fun!"

Erin: "It's like a shooting star!"

School is in session!

Erin: "Hello hairspray, my old friend."

Nothing like a little pollution to start the day.

Cody: "Did someone say 'pollution'?"

You too, Cody?

Cody: "I got some hairspray on my apple."

Student: "T-pose challenge!"

Erin and Cody are off to their first class of the day.

Teacher: "Good morning, everyone."

Teacher: "In today's business class, we're learning all about analytics."

Cody: "I know all about businesses! My robot owns a small business!"

The first class of the day is complete!

It's lunch time!

Cody: "Lunch on a tray. Very exciting."

Erin: "A sandwich, milk and fries and it's not even the afternoon yet! Wonderful!"

Student: "Who wants to join our club? We meet every single day and never give you enough time to study for finals or do your homework!"

Cody: "I'll pass."

Time for foreign language class!

Teacher: "You've heard of simlish, now get ready for English."

School's out for the day!

Zaylee: "Could someone help me with my homework?"
Jack: "Sorry, kiddo. I thought you were too much of a super genius for homework help."

Employee: "Another day of loud obnoxious jazz music in a tiny crowded room-

We heard you the first time.

One of the business perks seems to be working, which is that the business has apparently gone viral online. There's so many customers today!

No one can ever escape the party bot.

Erin: "Tell the party bot to leave Sunshine alone!"

Sunshine: "I second that. I don't need to hear winter holiday music while I'm trying to use the litter box."

Apparently, this is the best spot to do homework.

Servo: "I can't decide which is more stressful... going to work, or running my small business!"

Happy birthday, Jack!

Happy birthday, Cody!

Cody aged up into a young adult!

Aaand here we have our generation 29 heir!

Cody: "I can't believe I'm heir!"

Jack aged up into an elder! He also earned the 'wise' trait after reaching his golden years.

Cody: "Goodbye high school, hello university!"

Cody is applying for universities! He should hear back soon.

Erin: "My alarm clock is so rude. It totally just woke me up!"

Zaylee has taken up an interest in space and loves using the telescope!

Jack: "Like father, like daughter!"

Cody is working on his videogaming skill since he plans to become an eSport gamer.

Cody: "I'm horrible."

Keep practicing!

Jack: "Don't mind me, I'm just here to make sure another one of my children doesn't get hit by a meteor."

Good idea.

In between work, Servo is sketching some of the tattoo designs for the crafted items room.

After using the telescope, Zaylee decided to learn how to ride a bike. Jack is a bit of a helicopter parent ever since Cody was hit by a meteor.

Jack: "Please don't fall over!"

This townie is wearing a ski helmet during summer while walking around Willow Creek and I'm not mad about it. You go, sir.

Can I help you, Bonnie?

Bonnie: "Nope. Just walking around here for no reason at all..."

Hallie is here, as well? These two are up to something...

They see me rollin', they hatin'.

Bonnie: "Just who I was looking for."

The party bot?

Bonnie: "It's the coolest robot ever!"

Servo: "Excuse you?"
Bonnie: "Correction — the second coolest robot ever."

Servo: "Speaking of robots, look at me! I'm doing the robot dance!"

Hallie: "Do you think if I sit here long enough they'll forget they kicked me out and let me stay here?"

Fall has arrived and it's immediately cold out. This dog even has a sweater on!

Cody is checking on his university application!

Cody: "I've been accepted!"

Hooray! Cody will be attending Foxbury Institute for a degree in Physics!

Sunshine: "Day 7 of the party bot following my every move."

Cody will be joining the e-Sports competitor university career. Once he completes this, he will be able to quit university and start his dream career.

His first task of the day is to research SimScuffle strategies.

He also needs to do his homework in order to not get kicked out of university.

Hooray! Zaylee learned to ride a bike!

Zaylee: "This townie had better move before I run over her foot."
Townie: "Say what?"

Hooray! Zaylee has reached level 10 of the motor skill!

What in tarnation is this outfit, Servella?

Servella: "Do you like it? I wanted to switch it up!"

Bonehilda: "I, for one, love Servella's new look!"
Jack: "I dislike it."
Erin: "Me too."

Who knew Servella's new look required a meeting?

Cody is working on his first term paper.

Bonehilda: "Don't tell Servo, but the party bot is the second best robot ever."

After improving her mental skill using the telescope, Zaylee has completed the 'Mind and Body' childhood aspiration!

Zaylee: "I love the telescope! I can use it to see Sixam, which I hope to visit one day."

Donut: "Do they have dogs on Sixam?"

That's a good question...

The stan is back for his nightly stalking session by watching Servo through the window.

Since Maci is now moved out, Cody upgraded her old room and made it his own.

It's the perfect room for a gamer.

Cody: "You can say that again! I love it!"

Donut: "If you see a golden poop in the kitchen, it was the cat."

Excuse you?

Servo: "I wonder if any of these customers would purchase a golden pet poop?"

Sunshine: "If it sells, I take full credit. If it doesn't... it was the dog."

I guess we'll see if anyone wants to purchase this?

It may be fall, but it's snowing in Willow Creek! The weather must be mysterious, today.

Since no one else volunteered, Cody is tending to the meat wall.

Erin's tradition of going for walkies with the pets has continued.

Erin: "It's freezing out here."

Cody is off to his first day of his university career!

Zaylee: "Who wants to play hide and seek?"

Zaylee: "No one will ever find me here!"

Are you sure about that?

Jack: "Has anyone seen Zaylee? I haven't seen her for hours."

I guess she was right.

Cody's first day went pretty well!

Cody: "Now, I get to play videogames for my work task of the day. What a life."

Uh oh... Jack, do not follow the light! This is how you were abducted by aliens!

Jack: "I will not follow the light... I will not follow the light."

Jack: "Hey, look at me! I didn't get abducted by aliens!"

Great job!

Jack: "I'm proud of myself."

Happy birthday, Zaylee!

Zaylee aged up into a teen!

Zaylee: "I need to post about my birthday on social bunny!"

Zaylee: "Who made omelettes for breakfast? I hate omelettes!"

With aging up comes homework. Good thing Jack is home to help out!

Cody: "Omelettes are the best dish ever."

Looks like there's mixed feelings about omelettes. Will Servo still make them in the future?

Bonehilda: "No matter what these sims eat, guess who has to clean up all their dirty plates?"

Hey, where are you going?

Zaylee: "Nowhere..."

Zaylee Parsons, do not use the rocket ship!

Zaylee: "So long, earthlings! I shall return!"

Are you kidding me?!

Servella: "I love stinky leaf piles! They don't have these on Sixam!"

Look who's returned from space and gets to work on upgrades for the rocket ship since she wants to go to space while no one's looking!

Zaylee: "Aww, man."

No complaints... get to it!

Zaylee: "This isn't fair!"

Meanwhile, Cody is back to playing videogames for his work task.

Cody: "I think this is a multiplayer game. Would someone come in here and play?"

Erin: "This game looks way too difficult!"

Cody: "Aww, man! I lost!"
Erin: "Yeah, I'll definitely lose too!"

Hooray! Jack has reached the top of the astronaut career in the 'Space Ranger' branch!

Jack: "Not too many sims can say they're a Space Ranger, can they?"

Servo has finally fulfilled 50 wants, so now he can make a start on creating the Parsons family recipes!

These recipes can be passed down and made anytime with super helpful benefits!

Servo: "First recipe coming up!"

Looks like everyone is playing the game Cody was having trouble with. I wonder what it is?

Bowling? Seriously?!

Speaking of Cody, he has been promoted for the first time! Hooray!

Cody: "All that hard work playing videogames is paying off!"
