Chapter 348

I got too comfortable with letting the Parsons cook instead of Servo and the inevitable fire has occured!

Servo and his freeze ray to the rescue!

Cody: "I'll pass on the burnt breakfast and have a lollipop, instead."

Servo is making the different emotion meals for the family recipes. One of them is flirty heart cookies. Good thing Bonehilda is here to help him become flirty!

It's Harvestfest time! 🦃🍁🍂

Servo: "Flirty heart cookies coming right up!"

All of the other recipes Servo has created so far are in the fridge.

Poor Bonehilda is cleaning up the aftermath of the fire. (While Donut nonchalantly scratches her ear.)

Servo has created as many family recipes as he can! The last few recipes will require some help from the Parsons.

The recipes are:
Heartbreak Healer Chocolate Cake
Mystery Fuel Corndog
Low Maintenance Mac and Cheese
Academic Ace BLT
Fertility Unleashed Flirty Heart Cookies
Moodlet Booster Silly Gummy Bear Pancakes
Motive-ating Apple Pie
Home Remedy Superfood Salad
Dream Chaser Classic Vanilla Cupcakes

The only recipes left to make are Comfort Food and Spontaneous Rage. Comfort Food can be made once a sim has a successful call with the sadness hotline, which is a job for Cody.

He may have had some help becoming super sad by viewing this sad painting.

After successfully completing a phone call with the sadness hotline, Cody is working on 'Comfort Food Grilled Cheese'.

Cody: "There's no better comfort food than grilled cheese, am I right?"

The 'Spontaneous Rage' recipe can be unlocked by winning a fight with another sim. Looks like Zaylee has volunteered as tribute for that one.

Zaylee: "Why are you trying to deliver bills to our mailbox? That's rude."

Nancy the Mail Carrier: "It's quite literally my job!"

Zaylee: "Well, you should get another job!"

That escalated quickly!

Zaylee: "Shall we fight?"

Nancy the Mail Carrier: "Since you asked so nicely, I'd rather not."

Comfort Food Grilled Cheese has officially been added to the family recipe book!

Meanwhile, looks like there's a fight happening outside and the party bot wants to see what's going on!

Zaylee lost... which means she didn't unlock 'Spontaneous Rage'.

I guess she's trying again?

Hooray! Servo has reached the top of the salaryperson career in the 'expert' branch! Next, he'll be joining the gardener career in the 'botanist' branch.

I kid you not, Zaylee has lost 5 fights with this sim.

Zaylee: "Okay, after losing for a 6th time, I have accepted my loss. I'm also too dizzy to fight again."

Zaylee: "I almost won the last fight, though! MWAHAHAHAHA!"

Keep telling yourself that.

Since Zaylee failed the task of winning a fight, I guess Servo is going to have to win a fight instead.

Hallie: "I heard you lost a fight 7 times to the same sim."

Zaylee: "Incorrect. It was 6 times."

Servo: "I can see you giving me nasty looks through that paper bag on your head!"

Please win, Servo!

This townie is very concerned.

Hooray! Servo won a fight and has unlocked the 'Spontaneous Rage' recipe!

He also needs to be angry in order to make the emotional meal he plans to make. Thank gosh for the crafted items room having so many emotional paintings to pull emotion from.

Servo: "I can't believe that sim actually had the audacity to fight back!"

The final Parsons family recipe has been created! This recipe is 'Spontaneous Rage Angry Flaming Spaghetti'.

Jack: "Now, we have a bunch of family recipes to pass down onto future generations!"

Servo: "Mostly thanks to me."

Cody: "Also thanks to me for calling the sadness hotline."

It's time for the 'Nature's Calling' event! Jack suddenly feels an inexplicable draw to the outdoors. The gentle breeze outside seems to be carrying whispers that almost seem audible. Could it be the voice of nature calling to him?

He's down at Magnolia Blossom to go fishing.

Jack: "I'm gonna throw the fish back in the water after I catch it. I feel bad."

Jack: "Go back home, my fish friend."

Jack: "Now that I'm sitting on this park bench, the whispers of the wind won't stop. It's starting to drive me crazy."

You mean more crazy.

Jack: "I think I just heard a whisper that said: 'Thank you for listening, I am a spirit caught in the wind, seeking to regain my true form. Your attunement to nature is helping me regain my strength. Please, continue to aid me, and together we shall restore what was lost.' I guess it's an actual spirit calling to me! I wonder if anyone else can hear it?"

Cody: "What a beautiful, windy day!"

Jack: "Windy? Like the kind of wind you can almost hear windy spirit voices in?"

Cody: "You hear those voices, too? I thought I was imagining it!"

Jack: "Maybe if I go for a jog, I'll be able to hear even more clues from the wind spirit."

Jack: "I feel suddenly compelled to cloudgaze."

Jack: "Hey, that cloud looks like a gust of wind! It must be another sign..."

I guess Cody's call to nature didn't last long. He's back inside on his computer playing videogames.

Jack: "I feel another sudden urge to create something with the woodworking table... but, wait... how am I supposed to do this with no handiness skill?"

Jack: "I guess I'll try to make a horse sculpture."

Woah! With the 'wise' trait, Jack has already reached level 6 of the handiness skill!

Maybe he will find more secrets hiding within this fossil?

Jack: "This tree is unlike any tree I've ever seen..."

Don't look at it too much, or you'll be teleported to Sylvan Glade.

Jack: "There must be more signs if I look closer with the telescope!"

Especially during a scary thunderstorm.

Hooray! The Parsons have unlocked Touch Grass Weekly Issue #1, a new collectable!

Jack now needs to complete one level of any nature aspiration for one of the event tasks. Since he's a spellcaster, the 'Purveyor of Potions' aspiration will be the quickest.

Jack: "Off to the Magic Realm I go!"

He needs to successfully discover a recipe using the cauldron.

Jack: "This should be easy peasy."

Jack: "A little bit of dirt shall do the trick..."

Hours later, this is taking way too long and Jack has created nothing. Time to head home.

Upon arriving home, the task of completing one level of any nature aspiration has disappeared, but another task of sleeping in a tent has taken its place. That's a much easier task!

We also can't forget about Harvestfest.

Jack: "Turkey time!"

While the Parsons eat the turkey Servo worked hard to make, Servo is outside working hard once again to craft two 'Reclaimed Wood Dining Chairs' which is another event task. 

Jack: "This turkey is delicious!"

Donut: "Can I haz some?"

Servella: "The party bot has been following me all day trying to put me to sleep with lullaby music."

Jack: "Nature is calling me to sit in this random hot tub that just appeared in the backyard."

Servo can't be outside too long without paparazzi and fans finding him.

The windy whispers further guided Jack to the Desert Bloom park in Oasis Springs. I guess they wanted a change of scenery?

Jack: "Any frogs in here?"

Jack: "I'm gonna draw a smiley face in the sand."

Jack: "Interesting... I wonder what this could be."

Jack couldn't find anymore frogs in Oasis Springs, but luckily, there are some in Willow Creek for him to find.

Party bot confetti for finding two frogs!

It doesn't get more nature-y than making some grilled fruit on the BBQ.

Servo: "I'm enjoying myself out here in the backyard, I get to take a break from cleaning up after everyone!"

Next, Servo is building the 'Reclaimed Wood Dining Table'.

After grilling some fruit, Jack is falling asleep to the Nature Soundscapes radio station while three gnomes guard him.

A sim also needs to spend three hours outdoors for another one of the event tasks, so I guess Servo is going to have to recharge outside tonight.

As soon as the sun began to rise, Servo began working on the 'Wooden Throne'.

Zaylee: "My pyjamas are super nature themed. They have watermelons!"

The Wooden Throne is complete and ready to be used!

Jack: "That was horrible. I'm never using it again."

Jack is back down at Desert Bloom, bringing Servo with him to unlock this cave since he's level 10 in the handiness skill.

Jack: "Hooray for Servo doing all the hard work for me!"

Into the cave Jack goes!

Jack has entered Forgotten Grotto!

Jack: "Forgotten Grotto selfie to prove I was here!"

Jack: "Have you ever heard of the Forgotten Grotto, son? I just went there!"

Cody: "Wow, you did? That's awesome!"

Jack: "Servo, guess what I just did? I went to Forgotten Grotto!"

Servo: "I'm aware... I just helped you go there an hour ago."

After Jack visited Forgotten Grotto, the Parsons completed the 'Nature's Calling' event! They now have all 4 issues of 'Touch Grass Weekly', completing their collection!

In true Jack spirit, he has framed the photo of himself in Forgotten Grotto and put it above his bed.

Servo is now joining the critic career in the food critic branch. How will he judge the food without tasting it? That's a mystery.

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

Sunshine also had a had a kitten with another cat in the neighborhood.

Introducing Chip Parsons!

Sunshine: "He's the only one who's more adorable than me."

Servo's work task of the day is to write a food critique column.

While he does that, Servo's Pottery Class is open for business!

The employee is, once again, teaching anything but pottery.

Cody: "I'm being followed by the dogs, aren't I?"

Look how tiny Chip is!

Sunshine: "And they had the audacity to blame me for the golden poop in the kitchen."
Donut: "It wasn't me!"

The rays of sunshine are home from school!

Customer: "I came here for the adorable pets and obnoxiously loud jazz music."

Then, you're in the right place!

Jack is outside working on the rocket ship since Zaylee is so interested in it!

Look who got a special treat made by Servo, today!

Sunshine: "Hey, no fair!"

*Sigh* When will Jack ever learn to not follow the light?

Off he goes to Sixam, once again... or wherever this spaceship takes him.

Jack: "I've been abducted by aliens so many times that I can almost remember what happened up there... oops... I forgot again."

It's Spooky Day time! 🎃🍂🍬

Zaylee: "I can't decide which costume I wanna wear!"

Servo's Pottery Class is now selling bubble tea and snacks in order to hopefully reach 5 stars ASAP!

Chip: "I'm not impressed by this confetti."

Zaylee: "Maybe these silly gummybear pancakes will help me decide which spooky day costume to wear."

Zaylee: "I've got it! I'll be Vulpes!"

Jack: "I'm an astronaut, of course!"

Erin: "I'm Princess Leia!"

♫ SpOoKy ScArY sKeLeToNs! ♫

Jack and Zaylee are back to working on the rocket ship!

Cody: "I'm a pirate captain!"

Chip: "Took him long enough to decide on a costume."

Servo: "I always feel like somebody's watching me..."

Jack: "Nothing like a stinky leaf pile bonfire."

Zaylee: "Someone purchased some bubble tea and forgot to take it with them... so, don't mind if I do!"

Zaylee: "This is delicious! Thank you, random townie who forgot to take this home."

The Parsons are loving the spooky music that the party bot is playing!

I guess Jack got bored of working on the rocket ship and decided to try pottery again. It was a disaster last time he tried.

Servo is tired of this employee not teaching pottery classes, so he's mentoring her in pottery in the hopes she'll gain at least some skill points.

Trick or treaters are all around Willow Creek this evening!

Finally, the employee gained enough pottery skill points to run an actual pottery class!

Zaylee: "Hehehe... another forgotten bubble tea just for me."

Cody has reached the top of his university career!

Now, he can join the Tech Guru career in the eSport Gamer branch! He gets to start his career at level 7 and has higher pay, easier promotions and more vacation days!

He'd also better get to working on his programming skill, since he's level 0 and needs to be level 6.

Luckily, Servo has time to mentor him for a while.

The Parsons have a bunch of leftovers from creating all of those family recipes, so I guess it's flaming hot spaghetti for breakfast.

Jack: "This really isn't that spicy."

Erin: "Are you kidding me, dad? This is super spicy!"

Cody: "When they said 'flaming hot spaghetti', they really meant it!"

*Sparkles!*

Sunshine aged up into an elder!

Cody: "That flaming hot spaghetti has me so angry! I have spontaneous rage!"

Well, it did its job, then.

There's nothing more cozy than a fireplace!

Happy birthday, Erin!

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

I think Max is a bit afraid of getting attacked if he tries to join Sunshine in her favorite sleeping spot.

Cody is experiencing burnout from programming all day yesterday, so he decided to head down to the spa in Windenburg! Servo is also tagging along to work on the 'Zen Guru' aspiration.

Cody: "Ugh! Who knew programming was so stressful?!"

Cody: "This had better be relaxing."

Servo needs to 'guide' others by performing spa interactions. What better way than a manicure and pedicure?

Cody also wanted a hand massage.

Cody: "Oww... why does this hurt?"

Very relaxing!

Servo may have robot hands, but he can still give sims a great massage.

Cody: "This face mask should be relaxing, right?"

Cody: "Especially when it's made with 240K gold infusions to replenish and recharge the skin."

Would someone kick these paparazzi out of here?!

Next, a deep tissue massage!

Bring out the hot rocks!

Servo is almost ready to move onto his next aspiration task.

Cody: "Does my face look radiant after removing the gold mask?"

...It looks the same.

Cody: "A sauna should help melt my burnout away, right?"

Not when there's a bunch of other sims in there.

Cody: "This sim is cute... I might try and talk to her after I tinkle."

What kind of bathroom door is this?!

Cody: "Hey, I just saw you in the crowded sauna and thought you were cute."

???: "Wow, I thought the same thing about you and was just about to come over and talk to you! I'm Elyse."

For his next aspiration task, Servo needs to share his lemon honey ginger detox tea with 10 sims. This tea maker only makes enough tea for 3 each time, so he'll need to make it a few times.

Cody: "Say, does it look like I just had a mask on made with 240K gold infusions?"

Elyse: "Nope. You look like you're made with 240K gold infusions."

Looks like these two have hit it off!

Another one of Servo's aspiration tasks is to 'comfort' others 20 times by doing interactions that relate to wellness.

Servo: "Do you wanna hear a wellness secret? Yoga is awesome!"

Townie: "How exactly is that a secret?"

Cody: "I guess I'd better take one for the team and try this lemon honey ginger detox tea Servo made."

Cody: "That may have tasted awful, but I feel great after drinking it!"

Even Elyse is trying some!

Elyse: "This is delicious!"

Servo completed all of his aspirations tasks except sharing his detox tea with 10 sims.

Luckily, he can do that at home and have customers from Servo's Pottery Class try some!

*Sparkles!*

*More sparkles!*

Chip aged up into an adult!

So did Max!

Max: "Am I still adorable?"

Of course you are!

The tea is a big hit already!

Employee: "Don't mind if I do."

Cody invited Elyse over after work!

Cody: "It's great to see you again."

Elyse: "You too! I've missed you already."

Elyse: "I brought you this rose."

Cody: "How thoughtful! I brought you... uh... nothing."

Hooray! Servo completed the 'Zen Guru' aspiration after 10 sims tried his lemon honey ginger detox tea!

How are things going up here- oh! That escalated quickly!

Very quickly!

I guess Elyse is now a member of the household!

Lovebirds!

With Donut sleeping by their side, of course.

*Sparkles!*

Donut aged up into an elder!

Elyse: "Are these sims really as crazy as they seem?"

Zaylee: "Hey! We're not crazy!"

Cody: "Don't worry, you'll be crazy yourself eventually once you start having the uncontrollable urge to dance every time you see the party bot."

Elyse: "Nuh-uh!"

Servo has reached the top of the food critic career!

I had him join the freelancer career, but that career doesn't seem to have an end in sight to max out, so he joined the social media career in the 'internet personality' branch right after.

Get a room, you two!

Servo needs to somehow amass 10 million followers in order to get a promotion.

Servo: "After posting a viral cooking video, I got 2 million followers! Only a few more to go."
