Chapter 367

The Parsons have moved into a brand new house in Nordhaven! If you want to see a tour of the house, check it out on my Instagram!

Mack: "Wow, it looks great in here!"
Ainsley: "I love it!"

Some appreciation for building you guys a house? That's rare!

The Parsons even have a new rat named Squeak!

Now, Mack and Ainsley can clean the canal for bike parts all day long and hopefully complete the Nordhaven bike parts collection.

Servo is back to running the emergency romance hotline for the romance consultant career.

Alyssa is pregnant! Generation 33 is on the way!

Alyssa: "We're having a baby!"

Greyson: "What? I just got home! This is even more rushed than our engagement! AHH!"

Sparkle immediately demanded walkies so she can see the neighborhood of Nordhaven.

Meanwhile, Alyssa is starting her journey of jewelry crafting just like every other spare member of the household.

Uh oh... I think Bowie is about to attack this unsuspecting paparazzi.

Oop- she ran away before he had the chance. Even Sparkle wanted to see what was going on.

Greyson is working on the painting skill with the digitalistic sketchpad for his aspiration.

BEWARE! Dangerous guard dog at the front door!

Neighbor: "Did anyone ask for a welcome wagon with some fruit cake?"

No, they did not. Sparkle, ATTACK THE FRUIT CAKE!

*Gasp!* The fruit cake made it inside the house!

I mean... uh... thanks for the delicious fruit cake, neighbors.

Mack: "I'm glad I'm no where near that fruit cake right now."

Neighbor: "Once you get past the raisins, it's almost somewhat fine."

Clean that canal!

Servo: "Who the heck are you and how did you get in the gardening room? Don't steal our tomatoes!"

In the middle of the night, Mack decided to investigate a strange light outside. Huge mistake.

Mack: "What the heck is going on?!"

Poor Mack is being abducted by aliens!

This is why you never investigate a strange light, ladies and gentlemen.

Servo: "Luckily I'm not dealing with that again. All I have to deal with is a cat and a dog who keep eating trash."

A few hours later, Mack has returned.

Mack: "Man, am I glad to see you again, cleaner bot."

So, what happened up there?

Mack: "Well, let's just say what happened in that spaceship is going in my list of strange experiences."

Bowie has a new favorite sleeping spot in the play tent!

Of course, Sparkle isn't allowed in, so she's sleeping directly outside, instead.

Ooh, the water gets steamy during the night here in Nordhaven!

Bowie: "I want some chocolate chip cookies!"

Sorry, not for cats.

Uh oh! Servo accidentally added a compost bin to the toilet when he was upgrading it. I guess the Parsons will need a new toilet because this is way too annoying to deal with.

Greyson is off to his first day of work as a judge!

Sparkle: "Why won't the party bot play fetch?"

Alyssa: "Aww! I'll play fetch with you, Sparkle!"

Apparently, according to a pop-up, Squeak is a bestselling author under the ghost writer name 'Stephen Rat King'? 'The Life & Times of Squeak' continues to chart on the San Myshuno Times best sellers list. The books publisher, Printed Arts, is thrilled and has delivered him a royalty payment in the mail. They await in eager anticipation for 'Stephen's' upcoming novel. Way to go, Squeak AKA Stephen Rat King!

Now that the Parsons are able to clean the canal for bike parts every day, they're more close than not to completing their Nordhaven bike parts collection!

Alyssa's gemology skill continues to rise by the day. A true spare household member if I ever saw one.

Whatcha doin' there, bestselling author?

Where, oh where, does he find the time?

Bowie: "It's horrifying... so... many... electronics!"

Poor Bowie. So many electronic items are all in one vicinity... at the same time!

Greyson has already been promoted and is one promotion away from the top of his career!

Greyson: "I'm the best judge Nordhaven ever did see!"

Alyssa: "Excuse me, out of the way! Pregnant lady who desperately needs to tinkle coming through!"

I think Sparkle may be a little excited to see Servo home from work.

Almost everyone is eating at the dinner table. I consider that a win!

Greyson is making rulings for virtual court proceedings.

Greyson: "A burglar broke into a sim's house, but argues the sim had the Heist Havoc Lot Challenge? Guilty!"

Greyson: "Off to jail you go, Robin Banks."

Bowie: "You're secretly a piece of technology, aren't you?!"

I never knew sims could lounge while watching TV until now.

Alyssa is about to pop!

Alyssa: "I can't wait!"

New family member confetti!

After levelling up his painting skill to level 8 using the digitalistic sketchpad, Greyson has completed the 'Renaissance Sim' aspiration!

Bowie is adorable when he's asleep and not attacking sims or being terrified of technology.

Woah! What the heck is going on here, Squeak?!

Squeak: "Nothing... just getting some exercise on my wheel."

It sure didn't look like that five seconds ago.

Apparently, everyone had to stop what they were doing to witness this horror! Even the party bot.

Alyssa: "I think it's go time."

You've got this, Alyssa!

*Sparkles!*

The first baby of generation 33 has arrived! It's a girl! 💖 Introducing Mandy Parsons.

Alyssa: "She's absolutely perfect!"

Another day of cleaning the canal for bike parts.

With Bowie closely examining, of course.

Mandy aged up into an infant!

Which means tummy time!

Aaand she already hates it.

The Parsons have completed their 'Courtly Remembrances' collection from the Lady Bridgerton's Masquerade Ball login event!

Mack decided to take Mandy for a walk around the neighborhood.

Mack: "Hmm... I heard there were some snack stalls around here somewhere."

Mandy: "Eeee!"

Mack found this candy stall!

Mack: "One jellybean cookie, please!"

Mack: "This is delicious!"

Greyson has reached the top of the law career in the 'judge' branch! Hooray!

Greyson: "Another achievement achieved!"

Happy birthday, Mollie!

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

Speaking of promotions, Servo has now entered the 'matchmaker' branch of the romance consultant career after reaching level 8 of said career!

Alyssa and Greyson decided to elope in this beautiful area.

Alyssa: "Grey, I've loved you since the moment I met you. You mean everything to me."

*Kiss*

Greyson: "Alyssa, I will spend forever loving and cherishing you the way you deserve."

Alyssa: "How romantic!"

May you live happily ever Parsons!

Okay, guys...

You can stop now!

Alyssa: "Party pooper!"

Bonehilda... do not make any sudden movements!

I guess Sparkle was so full she passed out immediately.

Alyssa is pregnant again!

Alyssa: "More adorable babies!"

Ainsley: "I can't wait to have more grandchildren."

Grandma hugs are the best hugs!

Ainsley: "Who loves grandma more than anyone in the family?"

Bowie, stop attacking the passerbyers!

Oh, come on! When will Servo learn to stop investigating the strange light?

Servo: "What the...?"

Servo has been abducted by aliens, yet again. Let's just hope he doesn't return pregnant like he has before.

A few hours later, Servo has returned.

Servo: *Crying* "I was tricked into being abducted by aliens again!"

Servo is back to working on the 'sticky fingers' aspiration. He has taken items worth 87k simoleons so far. Only 163k simoleons worth of stuff left to go.

The Landgraabs won't mind... right?

Servo: "As long as I return it all once I finish this aspiration."

All the paintings are first to be swiped.

And the entire dining room, of course.

Geoffrey Landgraab: "Servo! I'm your biggest fan!"

Servo: "Uh... Great to hear that! Here's an autograph-"

Geoffrey Landgraab: "Hey, wait a minute... why are you in my house? Are you taking my belongings?"

Servo: "I'll return them all! I swear!"

Servo: "Please don't tell the paparazzi!"

Servo: "I can't believe Geoffrey caught me swiping his dining chairs."

Well, well, well... if it isn't Malcolm walking around like he owns the place... probably because he does. This aspiration is so difficult to complete. I hate that Servo has to swipe so many items!

The Parsons decided to head down to the Candy Labs in Nordhaven!

Ainsley: "Who's ready for a sugar rush?"

Servo: "Not me. I'm here to mentor sims how to make candy, instead."

So much sugary goodness!

Ainsley: "This lollipop is bigger than my head."

Mack: "Yummy!"

Alyssa: "This sure is delicious!"

Uh... apparently those lollipops were actually 'shocked candy'?! Not only do the Parsons now sound like squeaky toys...

They've also been completely shocked! They can even summon lightning if it's storming outside. I had no idea about any of this!

Alyssa: "Hehehehehe! We sound like squeaky toys!"
Ainsley: "Or like chipmunks!"

Ainsley: "This is hilarious!"

I guess shocked candies are similar to helium balloons.

Everyone can't stop laughing at their own squeaky voices!

Alyssa: "This is shocking!"

Alyssa: "If only there were a storm outside, right now!"

Servo: "I feel a little left out."

Servo may not be able to eat candy himself, but at least he can teach a candy making class.

Servo: "Sugar, syrup, glucose! All things you'll need to make some delicious candy."

Alyssa: "I can't believe still sound like a chipmunk!"

Hey! Pay attention to Servo's class instead of your squeaky voices!

Servo: "Shocked candy is a little different. It requires static electricity."

Mack: "This class is so boring that Mandy fell asleep in my arms."

Servo: "Are there any other sims who can listen to my class other than my obnoxious family?"

These plumbob lollipops aren't shocked candy... hopefully.

Ainsley: "Sugar rushes, squeaky voices and static shock? This is the best day ever!"

Greyson got off work and immediately met the Parsons here. He wanted to try some shocked candy for himself!

Mack: "Aww, man. Our voices don't sound like chipmunks anymore. The effects of the shocked candy have wore off."

Greyson: "Let's see what this 'shocked candy' is all about."

Greyson: "Hey, I sound like a squeaky toy!"

Greyson: "Hahaha! Servo, can you hear my super squeaky voice?"
Servo: "Yes, and it's very annoying!"

Greyson: "Shocked candy is awesome!"

Back at home, Greyson is giving Squeak some attention.

Greyson: "Squeak isn't the only one with the squeaky voice around here at the moment!"

Ainsley is having a nanna nap.

Sparkle is terrified of being shocked by static electricity, but can never resist going for walkies.

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

Alyssa: "Aaand grandma Ainsley is still napping."

Speaking of naps, nap time for Mandy!

Ainsley: "My granddaughter sat up for the first time on her own!"

And you missed it because you were napping.

Since Alyssa is working on the 'Super Parent' aspiration, this is the perfect time for Servo to work on the same aspiration, too. He needs to enter 'full parent mode'.

Let's see if Mandy likes pureed pumpkin!

She seems pretty unsure about it.

Sparkle: "I'll have the leftovers!"

Time for Mandy to learn to stand!

Bowie: "When no one is looking, the rodent will be dinner-"

Hey! Leave Squeak alone, Bowie!

Greyson is back to working on his fitness skill.

Thanks to a mod, Servo is able to purchase all of the recipes from the recipe stalls since he can't eat them and learn them.

No cats on the stove!

Servo is making the gooseberry pie that was a reward from the login event.

It looks delicious!

Don't even think about it, Bowie.

Bowie: "Hey! Rodent! Down here!"

Mack: "I'm adding 'cleaning the canal for bike parts' to my list of tedious and annoying activities."
Ainsley: "You can say that again."

Are you kidding me? Sparkle and the party bot woke Mandy up from her nap!

Alyssa is researching parenting on the laptop. She needs to reach level 4 in the parenting skill for her aspiration.

Hooray! Greyson has reached level 10 of the fitness skill!

Mack: "Hey! I caught some treasure!"

Greyson: "One coffee and a plate of fish and chips, please."

Some coffee for old time's sake?

Greyson: "Yep. I feel like I'm in university again."

No cats on top of the refrigerator! Why are you always misbehaving, Bowie?

Sparkle: "What's that about cats being better behaved than dogs? A dog would never."

Sparkle: "...He's right behind me, isn't he?"

It's go time!

Ooh! The gooseberry pie has this awesome fancy plate.

You've got this, Alyssa!

*Sparkles!*

It's twin girls! 💖💖 Introducing Mila Parsons!

And Evie Parsons!

The Parsons haven't had twins in quite a while!

Hooray! Mandy learned to stand!

Next, learning to crawl.

That was fast! Mandy learned to crawl!

Happy birthday, Mandy!

Mandy aged up into a toddler!

Who is this ✨diva?✨

Uh... I think Sparkle may have diarrhea. For once, the poor cleaner bot has no idea what to do!

Mila aged up into an infant!

So did Evie!

Alyssa and Greyson are such great parents.

Tummy time for the twins!

They seem to not be hating it, so far.

Hooray! Servo has reached level 10 of the romance consultant career in the 'matchmaker' branch!

Next, he'll be re-joining the romance consultant career to complete the 'relationship counselor' branch.

I have no idea how the party bot got all the way down to the river where Ainsley and Mack are cleaning the canal.

Is that a rat?!

Hover away for your life, party bot!

Since Servo is beginning the romance consultant career at level 3 again, he's back to reading romance novels in order to get promoted.

Mandy: "I don't like mashed peas!"

Alyssa: "Mandy, we don't throw tantrums."

We also don't block doorways, but Bowie won't listen.

Greyson: "Are you kidding me?!"

Poor Mila had a diaper blowout!

Greyson: "Now, I'm almost as stinky as my old university roomies."

Nap time confetti!

That applies to Bowie too, who has claimed this toddler bed as his own.

(I laughed way too hard at this while playing.)

Servo: "I'm back to crafting jewelry, my favorite thing ever!"

Is that sarcasm?

Ainsley and Mack have been collecting the same few bike parts and are unable to find the last few wheels they need to complete the Nordhaven bike parts collection. Maybe this area will have some bike wheels floating around?

Mila seems very confused by the rattle.

While Evie loves it!

They're still fishing the same bike parts over and over. What does this game want from me?!

Uh oh...

Alyssa: "Mandy, we don't make messes."

I guess she didn't listen.

Mandy: "Yay for not listening!"

Bowie: "Not listening is my mantra in life."

Mack: "How long are we going to have to keep fishing for bike parts? I'm losing my sanity!"

Ainsley: "Honey, you sacrificed your sanity long ago when you joined this household."

What the heck is this neighbor doing to the Parsons' doorbell?!
