Chapter 352

Poor Pixel seems sad again. Hopefully their new friend, Lil' Monster, can cheer them up.

Will Truffles ever be able to find that last Omiscan Gold Perereca the Parsons need to complete their Omiscan treasures collection?

Elyse: "I've noticed you've been talking to yourself, sweetie. Is everything okay?"

Preslie: "I'm not talking to myself, mom. I'm talking to Lil' Monster, my best friend!"

Zaylee: "Ugh, I need to throw up!"

Pregnant? ...Nope. She's just nervous about her university finals.

Elyse: "I think our daughter is crazy. I guess craziness really does run in your genes, honey."

Cody: "Crazy? Me?! I'm not crazy!"

Chip: "He's crazy."

I was looking through Servo's skills since he's about to start working on the newest skills that came with the latest pack, and I realized he actually only has level 7 tattooing skill instead of 10!

Luckily, Ian has kindly volunteered his legs so that Servo can practice tattooing and max out this skill before moving onto the others.

Zaylee: "Hey, I just traded the final Omiscan Gold Perereca we needed with Bonehilda!"

Bonehilda is a lifesaver! The Parsons have finally completed their Omiscan treasures collection! I was thinking they'd have to go back into the jungle.

They couldn't have done it without Truffles. Even though she always gave the wrong Omiscan Gold Pererecas, without those, Zaylee wouldn't have had anything to trade with Bonehilda. Bravo, Truffles!

I think the utiliti bots are uniting in unison trying to send a message to Servo that they need a tune up.

Cody: "You're my favorite around here. Don't tell anyone."

Chip: "I knew it."

Since Stella is at school, Elyse is on walking duty for Max.

Homework time!

After spending hours upon hours tattooing poor Ian, Servo has reached level 10 of the tattooing skill!

Servo: "Hooray! I feel super energized and ready to work on all of the new skills!"

First up: archery.

Oop- it's strange to see Servo fail at something.

Preslie's digital photo frame has all of her memories she's captured with Pixel and Lil' Monster!

I think Cody deserves this mud bath after finally completing his career.

Hooray! Servo has maxed out the archery skill!

Bullseye!

Next, he can work on the papercraft skill.

Zaylee: "Why is Servo so much better than everyone at everything?"
Theo: "I'm not complaining. It means he can do everything for us!"

Speaking of maxing out skills, Cody has maxed out the charisma skill!

Ian: "Everyone is maxing out skills and all I'm doing is walking the dog."

Preslie: "Hi, Lil' Monster!"
Lil' Monster: "Let's turn those blues into rainbow hues!"

Ian: "Great walk today, Max! You're 'walk-come' to ask for walkies anytime!"

Preslie is back at Camp Gibbi Gibbi!

She decided to head to Crystal Valley and play rock, paper, scissors for a collectable against Buddy Scoop, the collector kid.

Preslie: "Hey, Buddy!"

Buddy: "Hello, there."

Preslie: "I would really love to play rock, paper, scissors in the hopes of winning a collectable!"

Buddy: "Bring it on!"

Preslie: "I lost."

Keep trying!

Hooray! After a few unsuccessful tries, Preslie was able to win a second place garden competition Finchwick Fair ribbon!

Preslie: "Yay! We don't have that collectable item yet!"

Preslie is making so many friends here at Camp Gibbi Gibbi, and it seems friendship builds faster here.

Time for water activities!

This kid is too cool for swimming.

Preslie: "Let's play rock, paper, scissors again!"

Preslie & Buddy: "Rock, paper, scissors, SHOOT!"

Buddy: "UGH! I CAN'T BELIEVE I LOST!!!"

Preslie is a rock, paper, scissors champion!

Ooh, looks like something is cooking on the campfire!

It turns out one of the camp counsellors abandoned this here, so now no one can roast marshmallows. Bummer!

On the bright side, Preslie has reached level 10 of the social skill!

She's up bright and early ready for some camp activities!

She's getting much better at archery.

She also found some new butterflies!

And managed to win two new collectables from Buddy!

The first collectable is a cryptid moth, which is rare! The second is a marble wand, a magical artifact! (The Parsons already have a marble wand, so I'm assuming this is just a different color wand?)

Camp Counsellor: "Who wants to play hide and seek?"
Camper: "Me, me!"

Preslie: "I'll be the seeker! 30... 29... 28..."

Preslie: "3... 2... 1! Ready or not, here I come!"

Preslie: "Hmm... I can hear some rustling in this shrub."

Preslie: "A-ha! Found you!"

Camp Counsellor: "I let her find me."

Sure you did.

Preslie: "I think someone else is in this garbage can!"

Camp Counsellor: "I'm going to run directly into the water from embarrassment."

Preslie found the last seeker in one of the cabins!

Preslie: "I bet I can tell your fortune with this chatterbox."

Camper: "Ooh, that sounds awesome!"

Preslie: "Pick a color and a number!"
Camper: "Hmm... red and number 4!"

Preslie: "You will excel in school and be the smartest sim in the world!"

Preslie's weekend at Camp Gibbi Gibbi has come to a close again. Until next time!

Happy birthday, Theo!

*Sparkles!*

I guess Max wanted all the birthday attention. He aged up into an elder!

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

Happy birthday, Conner!

Conner aged up into a teen!

Zaylee also completed her degree in villainy with an A+ GPA while Preslie was away at camp! It only took her entire young adulthood. Now, she can join the astronaut career in the interstellar smuggler branch and will start at level 8!

Happy birthday, Zaylee!

Ian: "I'm too cold to age up."

You can't be too cold to age up.

Happy birthday, Ian!

Ian aged up into an adult!

So did Zaylee!

Zaylee: "Ian was right. It really is freezing in here!"

Ian: "You sure do make it hot in here though, lovely lady."

Zaylee: "Oh, why thank you, handsome."

Ian: "You light my fire because you’re my perfect match."
Zaylee: "Ian! That's the cutest cringe pun ever!"

*Kiss*

Ian: "Oh 'vow'! I think I have a question to ask you."

Ian: "Zaylee Parsons..."

Ian: "Will you marry me?"

Zaylee: "Oh my gosh! Yes, of course!"

Zaylee: "Does this ring make me look engaged?"
Ian: "I sure hope so."

Ian and Zaylee are engaged!

Aaand they're freezing.

Turn on the thermostat... STAT!

They decided to elope in the kitchen.

Ian: "Since we're getting married in the kitchen, now we can be joined together in holy macaroni."

Zaylee: "These puns are giving me a headache, honey."

Ian: "Taco 'bout a perfect match!"
Zaylee: "Please stop."

Zaylee and Ian are officially married!

Servo's papercraft skill is increasing quickly, and he's able to make these adorable cards now. I love them!

More great news! Zaylee is pregnant!

Zaylee: "Babe, I'm pregnant!"

Ian: "Does that mean you've won the 'mother'-lode?"

Zaylee: "I knew another pun was coming."

Zaylee: "Hey, do I have a pregnant glow?"

Conner: "I think that's just your alien glow, aunt Zaylee."

Zaylee: "Aww, man. All pregnancy has given me so far is morning sickness."

Fitness Fest has started down in Gibbi Point!

These sims are having a grand ol' time on the new spin bikes.

What better way to enter Fitness Fest than on a bike? Zaylee has the right idea.

Zaylee loves fitness, so this should be a piece of cake for her.

Instructor: "You're doing great, everyone!"

Ian, on the other hand, has no fitness skill... so he may struggle a little.

Ian: "Ugh! These are so heavy!"

Zaylee: "What do you mean, honey? These are light as a feather!"

Ian: "Ugh... I can't... LIFT THEM!"

Zaylee: "How about trying these for size?"

Ian: "I think I'd collapse."

Zaylee: "Oww! It hit me right in the head!"

Ian: "Even this is difficult? WHY, OH WHY MUST I DO THIS?!"

Ian is struggling a little too much. I think it's time to head home.

Back at home, the new butterflies have found their way into the collectables room. (Don't worry, I will eventually find a spot for the butterflies and axolotls.)

The Parsons Omiscan treasures plaque also came in the mail!

This collection right here took 5 years!

Lil' Monster: "That's a long time. Even I can't make light of that."

Cody decided to take Max for walkies today since he's finally free of constantly needing to be on the computer for work. It's also quite creepy that there's a man in his underwear walking around behind them.

Elyse is here to help the kids with their homework!

Stella: "I hate homework!"

These cards Servo have made are the cutest thing ever. I love them!

Stella: "No they're not. They're stupid, just like everything else!"

Elyse: "One of my daughters is mad at everything and the other keeps talking to herself. Yikes!"

Preslie: "What do you mean? Lil' Monster is right next to you, mom!"

Elyse: "Who the heck are you talking about?!"

Stella: "Who cares who she's talking about? I'm going to sleep."

Preslie brought home a science project to work on for school.

Servo: "Another awesome card incoming!"

I know I keep showing these cards Servo is making an annoying amount of times, but they're just so cute!

Elyse is here to help Preslie out!

So is Cody! I never knew two sims could help out on a school project at once.

Preslie: "Do you think this solar system looks finished?"
Elyse: "It looks pretty darn good, if you ask me."

It sure does!

Lil' Monster: "Great job, guys!"

Servo is now working on the entomology skill and the 'Critter Hunter' aspiration.

He needs to examine 3 common butterflies. Luckily, there are already some in the collectables room.

Chip: "Stop examining the butterflies and pay attention to me."

Chip: "Hey! Down here! Did you hear me?"

Servo: "Must... not get distracted... by adorable cat."

Zaylee: "Stella, quit eating your breakfast in the bathroom and get out of here! I need to tinkle immediately!"

Why the heck were you eating your breakfast in the bathroom, anyway?

Stella: "It's an alien thing."

Zaylee: "That is certainly not an alien thing."

Hooray! While crafting some origami butterflies for his aspiration, Servo has reached level 10 of the papercraft skill!

Hopefully the Parsons will be able to trade one of these tassels with another sim for the final orange tassel they need to complete their collection.

Maybe they'll also be able to trade these items for some magical artifacts and the new fish that came with the latest pack.

The Parsons are down in Nordhaven to clean the canal for bike parts and to trade those collectables!

Zaylee: "I bet I'll find the most bike parts!"

Cody: "Don't be so sure. I'm a bike part collecting expert."

I didn't know those existed.

Ian got pretty lucky with his first trade!

Ian: "Hooray! I found the final orange tassel!"

Yay! The Parsons have completed their tassels collection!

The Nordhaven bike parts collection, however, won't be so easy to complete, since they can't be traded with other sims for some reason.

Ian: "Do you think we could trade anything else?"

After a few unsuccessful trades, Ian got lucky again and received a 'Wand of Elementals', a rare magical artifact the Parsons don't have yet!

Zaylee is the only one who has found a bike part, so far. I thought Cody was a self-proclaimed expert at this?

Ian asked any sim who walked in his direction to trade collectables, but mostly got bad trades.

Everyone was also only able to find three more bike parts, one of which they already found. I think it's time to head home.

Back at home, Cody is using this awesome gaming mat he received from completing the programmer career in the eSport Gamer branch!

Cody: "This is way cooler than a computer!"

Hooray! Servo has reached level 10 of the writer career in the journalist branch!

Next, he'll be joining the law career in the judge branch.

Is eating a whole raw onion also typical alien stuff?

Stella: "Yes, yes it is."

Ian: "Thank gosh I'm not from Sixam. That doesn't sound very a-peel-ing!"

Servo's first work task as a judge is to make rulings on the computer.

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

Stella: "I'll only age up if you promise not to kick me out."

I can't promise that.

Happy birthday, Stella!

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

Preslie: "I'm glad I'm not about to get kicked out... right?"

Happy birthday, Preslie!

Preslie aged up into a teen!

Immediately after aging up, she went upstairs to find Lil' Monster and tell him all about it!

Preslie: "Hey, BFF!"

Preslie: "Say, now that I'm a teen, why don't you age up with me?"

Lil' Monster: "Hmm... I think that would only be possible if I were real."

Preslie: "You're totally real!"

Preslie: "I believe you are!"

Liam: "Hey, I guess the power of believing and imagination has made me real!"

Liam: "Looks like I'm... Liam Morris, now! Formerly known as Lil' Monster."

Preslie: "I'm so happy you're real! Like... real real!

Liam: "So am I, and it's all thanks to you!"

Liam: "Your friendship... imagination... believing... it all brought me to life!"

Preslie: "What I'm hearing is that I'm a super powerful sim."

Liam is now real and has joined the household!

Is it go time?

Zaylee: "Nope... I just really need to tinkle... like, right now."

Zaylee: "Ugh! I didn't make it to the toilet!"

Are you kidding me?!

Zaylee: "This is disgusting!"

Servo: "Thank goodness I don't have a bladder."

Servo is going to raise two unknown caterpillars into butterflies/moths to increase his entomology skill!

Servo: "Who's hungry for a leaf?"

He also needs to catch 5 butterflies for his aspiration, and the only place to do that is Gibbi Point.

He might as well send a letter up to the hermit while he's at it.

Now... we wait for a response.

Servo: "I found some beautiful butterflies!"

Servo: "What is that thing?"

The Geyser Blow! Isn't it super cool?

Back at home, Zaylee is still waiting to go into labor.

Servo managed to catch another common butterfly he can examine!

The party bot wants nothing to do with the scary thunderstorm outside.

Since these two are now teens, they have high school homework to now work on.

Liam: "This is so difficult!"

Preslie: "Not when you're a genius like me."

It's go time!

You've got this, Zaylee!

*Sparkles!*

It's a boy! 💙 Introducing Tanner Parsons!

Zaylee: "He's perfect."

Ian: "My wife already gave birth?! I didn't get to make a labor pun!"

Liam: "That thunderstorm outside is scary. Being real is scary! Can I go back to being a doll?"

Zaylee, is now really an appropriate time to wear your space helmet?

Zaylee is pregnant again!

Zaylee: "I already have a craving for yogurt."

Ian: "A $30,000 simoleon bill? That's a lot!"

The scary thunderstorm went away for a moment and immediately came back. That won't stop Zaylee from riding around on her bike, though.

Bonehilda: "I'm grateful, for once, that I'm inside cleaning up after these sims and not outside during the scary thunderstorm."

Tanner aged up into an infant!

Chip: "And he's still not as adorable as me."
