Sharebears 9.94: The End of This Journey (Completed 13 Mar 2020)

[oshizu]

The ninth generation has arrived!



8.84: Tarlock Steps Up

Week 18/Saturday (Spring, Day 7)

Teagan: We all bring home promotions to Level 5 today.
While Tristan's at work, Mama suddenly completes Big Happy Family.
That's how we know that Tristan's wife Louise has given birth to twins.


Papa is waiting for my fling, Rita, to give birth.
Hopefully, she'll have twins as well.
On second thought, why does Papa think he needs the Patriarch trait?
Mama's Matriarch trait affects Tristan, Tarlock, and I.
But Papa's Patriarch trait would only affect me. *shrugs


After Nerd Brain, my wife Dianna has started on Renaissance Sim.
Homestyle and Gourmet Cooking will be two of her needed Level 8 skills.


Look! Tarlock has had a change of heart about fathering children!
Apparently, he doesn't mind the making-of-babies stage.
It's everything afterwards that he dislikes. Or so he says now.


I'm just biding my time until Dianna is ready to be mentored in painting.
My online fanbase is slightly more than two million followers.

A shocking notice arrives about Rita, who's pregnant with my children.
In her 3rd trimester, she's wed some dude and moved to Windenburg!
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?



Week 25/Sunday (Summer, Day 1)

The girls aged up this morning and they're both sweethearts!
Identical, green-eyed twins! Only their hair color distinguishes them.
Since they won't need to hold careers, they'll be fine as Happy Toddlers.
By the way, we'll be calling our ginger "Urchin" instead of "Uni."
Less risk of mispronunciation of her name later in life.


Today we're celebrating New Skill Day for the first time in our legacy.
It says that "toddlers ignore this tradition."
But they reached Imagination 4 before I'd read to them for 2 hours!


Count me in as a big fan of New Skill Day!
My Dianna's been getting mentored in various useful skills.
And the toddlers qualified for the Happy Toddler trait by evening.



Monday

Rita gave birth to triplets last night
I'm glad to note that their last name's become Price like Rita's husband.
It's good Rita found someone but, dang, she got married quick.
(I wonder if Price believes those kids are his?)

Well, I guess I should go find some use for Papa's Patriarch trait.


Great-Grandma Kirsten and Great-Grandpa Takuya passed away this morning.
We hadn't invited them over for quite a while.
Whenever we went out, though, we'd always run into them.
I wonder if they ever regretted curing their vampirism.


With Great-Grandma's demise, we can add another holiday tradition to our legacy holiday.
She was a music lover, an insider, and a foodie.
To honor her memory, I've added the Art & Music Spirit tradition.
Will I still be heir when Sharebear Day comes around again?


Teagan: Hey, I'm sorry to hear that Annabel Amor got married.
Tarlock: I know, man! I'd planned to propose today after work.
But she married some guy the very next day after we hooked up.

Teagan: Yeah, I hear she moved him into the former School for Girls with her.
And with that timing, her husband will think your kids are his.
Tarlock: I can deal with her not wanting to marry me.
But I wish she'd stop calling me up for dates! Sheesh!

Teagan: You're not really just going to let her go, are you?
Tarlock: You're right, Teagan! Annabel and I belong together!
How did another guy come between us so quickly? Did she know him already?


Tarlock: I can't believe you married someone else, Annabelle!
Annabel: Really? I thought I was just a one-night stand for you.
Tarlock: I was waiting to get off work today to propose so you wouldn't reject me.
Be honest, Annabel. I'm the one you really love, right?
Annabel (sighs): I didn't know. I was worried about being a single parent…


Tarlock: You wouldn't be alone. My father could help out at first.
He's dying to become a grandfather!
Then, I'd move in with you as soon I've maxed my career.
Leave that other guy, Annabel. You know I'm the one who really loves you!

And so they marry, after which Annabel's ex moves out.
Then, Elvain moves in with his daughter-in-law, happy as a lark.



Tuesday

Today, we celebrate the Summer Solstice on a hot, sunny day.
By nightfall, we've all reached gold holiday status.
Not only that, but the girls have maxed all their skills already.
Have I already mentioned that I love New Skills Day?




Mama celebrates her adult birthday for the second time in her life.
No Potion of Youth this time around, though.



Wednesday

Teagan: Tristan and Tarlock have the day off from work today.
But I leave for work in three more hours.
I've already had two moodlet solvers this morning due to death notices.
The second one was for my primary spouse, Aaradhya Kumar.
I guess living in our house for that short while robbed her of immortality.


It's hard to believe our little girls age up tomorrow!


Tarlock: I'm still angry about that guy who tried to steal my girlfriend.
I hear he's been badmouthing Annabelle and me around town.
When I invite him over, he arrives tense and angry.

He gloats. Says he knew he was proposing to a pregnant Annabelle.
I pretend as if I don't care, even though I'm seething inside.
It's a heatwave but I ask to see his cold-weather outfit before we play chess.
He won't die of overheating, darn it, but he does donate to my charity.


Now that we're good friends, he lets down his guard.
He confides that convincing Annabelle I'd never marry her was too easy.
I'm not letting him off the hook for that, not ever!

The first Scent of Death gift I give him isn't fatal.
Instead, he ages from a young adult to an adult.
I give him another and he ages up to an elder.
One more gift for you, sleazeball!


Grim: That pathetic fool!
First, he proposes to the pregnant love interest of a Sharebear!
Then, he decides to go around bragging about it?
Anyone could have warned him that it would end badly.



Thursday

In the early morning, our girls age up with their mother's big green eyes.
Ume is self-assured, while Urchin is a music lover.
Both Top-Notch Toddlers, they start out together as Artistic Prodigies.


I'm closing this update here.
As you can see, however, the girls are raring to go.
Make way for the ninth generation!

[LenaLJ]

So close to completion, the girls are darling beautiful

[wa-wa-world]

So much happened wow! Sorry to see Kirsten and Takuya go but they lived way longer than expected and now there are so many kids in the next generation it's great!

Story Progression randomly making anabelle marry a townie is so annoying! I guess that ended fine anyway though, no innocent sims were harmed in the making of this chapter (?)

Urchin and Ume are super cute! I think I lean more towards Urchin though

[BallerinaHippo]

Grim's commentary about Annabel's ex-husband was hilarious (and so true)!  Don't mess with a Sharebear's love interest, dude.  And how dense do you have to be to accept three Scent of Death gifts in a row?  Glad it all worked out for Tarlock. 

Ume and Urchin are cute as can be.  I have an early favorite, but I'll wait to see how they grow up. 

[oshizu]

So close to completion, the girls are darling beautiful

@LenaLJ
Shockingly, I have 16 in-game days left of actual gameplay. I might do a one- or two-day heir vote, LOL!
We were lucky to find such a lovely sim for the girs' mother!

@wa-wa-world
It was time for Kirsten and Takuya to leave the world, I agree!
Even though I made sure to give them only Supernatural Speed before they moved out, they would come over and bat-teleport all over the house.
It made them awful mentors because they were hard to chase down, lol.
Once I figured out what was wrong with my MCCC settings, MCCC went absolutely crazy with the matchmaking and pregnancies.
The first "Marriage Check" day after I fixed my settings, MCCC arranged 13 marriages!!!
I was a little shocked that even pregnant sims involved with the active household would get swooped up into the marriage frenzy.
There's an MCCC setting where the Marriage Checks bypass sims who are already in a relationship; I guess I should have enabled that.
It was pretty funny, though. Tarlock gets a message that his girlfriend got married then she phones him up for a date...

Grim's commentary about Annabel's ex-husband was hilarious (and so true)!  Don't mess with a Sharebear's love interest, dude.  And how dense do you have to be to accept three Scent of Death gifts in a row?  Glad it all worked out for Tarlock.

@BallerinaHippo
I didn't mean to make such a production out of Tarlock eliminating his wife's ex. But having the guy play chess in his cold-weather clothes during a heatwave didn't work.
Not sure why, but we've similarly failed trying to freeze a fisherman to death. Some sims must have temperature immunity or something.
But yes, I expected the "victim" to expire after one Scent of Death gift. I didn't realize that it would cause a non-elder to only age up one stage.

8.85: Festival Fetish

Week 25/Thursday

Teagan: Our artistic prodigies only need to play an instrument for 5 hrs.
So, once again, we head to San Myshuno, hoping to despawn that festival!


We'd hope to learn some new City Living recipes.
Too bad that food stall vendor prefers to watch fireworks with us.



Friday

We stay until 2 am but the festival remains glitched. *sighs
Then, we try to go home but learn there's a vampire break-in.
I find two vampires in Casbah Gallery: Hajar Vatore and Uncle Elvain.
Thanks, vamps! We're stuck here with nothing to do.


Ume and Urchin are forced to do their homework on the pavement.
Hajar and Elvain both leave the Gallery at 6 a.m.
Go ahead, Ume. Make the phone call so we can travel home!


Tarlock and I both earn promotions today.
That's why he's back to collecting donations.
For someone who hates children, he sure likes trying for babies!


At Level 7 Charity Organizer, Tarlock gets serious about seeking donations.
But since our home lot draws zero walk-bys, he invites family over.


Papa and Grandpa really are close, aren't they?
I wonder why Mama asked me to keep close tabs on those two?


Ume: We've only got two more Scout badges left, Urchin!
Are you ready to start Rambunctious Scamp now?
Urchin: Yes, let's finish it by tomorrow afternoon.
We can start Social Butterfly after that.
Ume: Maybe we can just goof around on Sunday?
Urchin: Fat chance! *rolls eyes



Saturday

Teagan: Today's Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Has a year already passed since my brothers and I were born?
We all change into pirate garb and talk like a pirate. Yarrrrr!


The girls earn their Keep Fit badge then attend a scout meeting.
Only their Civic Responsibility badge to go!
And now they're off to Cavalier Cove to meet people.


Urchin: You there! Chips ahoy!
Ume: Um, sis, I think that's the name of a cookie…

Boy: Why are you two dressed like pirates?
Urchin: We wanted to dress like Social Butterflies, actually.
Ume: Yeah, but today's Talk Like a Pirate Day, so…


Teagan: How did Tristan get so far ahead of Tarlock and me?
He comes home tonight with a promotion to Level 9 Musician.
Then, the smiling Wishing Well grants him a full promotion!
I wonder what Tristan wants to do now?
(Tarlock and I are still only Level 7…)


We'd been waiting for Tristan to come home and make a wish.
Now, Dianna and I take the girls to the Heartthrob Orphanage in Oasis Springs.
The six boys who live there won't be children much longer.




On the top row, Laurent's a goofball, Noe's outgoing, and Zef's a bookworm.
Below, Andy and Kade are geniuses while Jesse's squeamish.
They're all attractive boys; only one has red hair, sadly.
As for traits, well, we have re-traiting potions coming out of our ears.

Girls, make like Social Butterflies and invite them back to house!



Week 26/Sunday (Fall, Day 1)

Ronan: Well, this is certainly the life!
My son practices bar drinks and I learn Mixology vicariously!
Shiso: So, what now, Teagan? Will you ask Tristan to leave?
Maybe squeeze in a few more death types before the end?

Teagan: Tristan's not the one who hates children, Mama!
Tarlock gets a negative moodlet around our girls. He must go!
He's getting his Level 8 promotion tonight, I trust.


Ume and Urchin need one more adult friend for Social Butterfly.
I try hiring a nanny and one we've never seen before arrives.
Bazinga! Instant adult friend for the girls!
They'll be done with Whiz Kid in a flash, I'm sure.


Monday

Tetsu: Not that I mind donating $1,250 to your cause, sir.
But shouldn't you be taking from the rich and giving to the poor?
Tarlock: Have you taken a good, hard look at your fancy-shmancy bedroom lately?

Tetsu: May I point out that you've already reached your $5k milestone?
Tarlock: You know they're going to raise the bar after my next promotion!
I'm just trying to plan ahead. I want to go live with my own family!


Teagan: So here's another reason this legacy is ready to end.
At school, Ume's performance is a bit higher than Urchin's.
That's why I decide to check Urchin's traits.
Why in heaven's name does she have Professional Slacker?

For one thing, Tarlock and I are finishing up the last two careers.
Our watcher loves cheese but she wouldn't illegally equip traits.
If the game wants to glitch, at least give Urchin a more useful trait!
Like Savant or something!


Gah, I have not been paying attention to my promotion requirements!
Now that I'm a Level 8 Internet Celebrity, I need 10 million followers!
Tonight's the Humor & Hijinks Festival!
I'll just livestream a Let's Play The Sims Medieval for another hour.
I mean, The R.E.F.U.G.E…


This time, we household adults all drink the Pranksters tea.
Maybe we need to trigger the start of the Humor & Hijinks Festival?
Chief of Mischief Tarlock multi-tasks by asking for donations.
Clever!


Ume: I thought we'd do something fun since we finished everything?
Urchin: Can you believe Mama had us bring our Doctor Sets?
Ume: Eh, while the adults are out there causing mischief…
Urchin: We're in the Casbah Gallery treating our sick bears.
Ume & Urchin (whine in unison): Life is so unfair!!!



Tuesday

We Pranksters naturally win the Humor & Hijinks competition.
And by 1:13 am, the festival has entirely despawned.

Take-away lesson: We needed to join the festival instead of just hanging out in the Arts Quarter?

Up Next: Teen birthdays and a 2-day heir vote!
I'm planning to post a very short update later today.
It will include the heir vote which will only run until Sunday.

Chapter Notes

Heartthrob Orphanage: The six boys are some of my favorite Gallery sims, who I aged down to toddler.
One of them came pre-skilled, so I cloned him first, aged him down, then deleted the original sim.
Since aging the sims down to toddlers completely randomizes their traits, I feel these six are fair game for the final legacy spouse.

Humor & Hijinks Festival
It's gone at last! All that hanging around in the Arts Quarter previously had no effect whatsoever.
But as soon as my sims drank the Prankster tea, everything but the H&H Festival objects disappeared.
I wonder if the festival would have despawned if my sims had drunk the Jokerster/Prankster tea on a non-scheduled H&H Festival day.

8.86: The Last Avatar, Um, Heir Vote

Week 26/Tuesday

Teagan: Are you ready to drink your Potion of Youth, Dianna?
Tristan: Isn't she a day younger than us, Teagan?
Dianna: Oops, maybe, but it's too late now!


Tarlock drinks his potion sitting on the bench on the front porch.
He's off to Cavalier Cove, collecting donations as usual.


Ume (right): Uncle Tristan, does the grind never end?
Urchin (center): Yeah, when does the fun begin?
Tristan: Well, I happen to be fishing for fun, girls.
Actually, I'm fishing to spend time with the both of you.


Teagan: Hearing about my follower fiasco, Tarlock checks his requirements.

Tarlock: I need $20,000 in donations for my Level 9 promotion.
Since I'm at $16,300 right now, I only need 4 more victims, I mean, donors.
I can take care of that tonight!


Wednesday

Tarlock: Well, this is it, folks!
I've made an offering and the Well glows white then smiles.
Wish me luck!


Yaaaassss!
Good thing I cleared my inventory and packed up before work this morning.


Take one last look at my gorgeous face, people, cuz I'm outta here!
I hope the Well's hood doesn't bring bad luck to Teagan!
Maybe buy him a brand-new Wishing Well?


My family awaits me over by Dachshund Creek!
Did I tell you that Annabelle and I have two sons and two daughters?
Come on by for a visit, Teagan, but don't bring your kids!

See you around, you handsome, children-hating devil, Tarlock!


Teagan: Everyone's been working so hard! Let's go out for dinner!
Omu: Thanks for inviting me along, grandson! Your mom never invites me because…
Ronan: Hush! *elbows Omu

Ume: Isn't this only so Papa can do a shout-out to gain followers?
Urchin: Who cares? This is our very first no-skilling-involved outing!


Shiso: Pssst, Teagan? Isn't that Rita, your former…
Teagan (hisses quietly): Eyes forward, Mama. Our table's this way.
You trying to stir up trouble between me and Dianna?
Tristan: I know, right? This is why we don't go out much!


Teagan: I invited you with us tonight, Grandpa Omu, to share the news.
Our legacy will be ending soon.
Omu: And you've accomplished everything you need to do, grandson?
Teagan: Our score won't be perfect but it will be high enough.
And no, we didn't complete all the collections or achieve all the death types.
We're on short lifespan after all. We needed some slack to keep it fun!

Omu: So what's left?
Teagan: I need to max Internet Personality, which is the last career left.
Then, either Ume or Urchin become the heir on their young adult birthday.
Once the heir gives birth to a son, this legacy will be done.


Ume: Hey, Urchin! You're not spamming friendly socials on our no-skilling outing, are you?
Urchin: Erm, I'm just filling the time until our food comes, y'know?
Besides talking with folks is better than yakking at the mirror!


Ume: True dat. But, still, we don't even need Charisma!
It's not like we'll ever have to negotiate for a bonus, right?
Urchin: Isn't higher charisma better for getting a boyfriend?


Thursday

Ume: Why are we eating Selvadoradan food at home, Papa?
Teagan: Because we waited until 2 am but the restaurant never served us.
Urchin: Why is everyone else sitting over there to eat, Papa?
Teagan: Why else? Because they're rude idiots!
Shiso: I heard that!


Teagan: Just a few more hours until the girls' birthdays!
Well, I managed to reach 10 million followers before my next work day tomorrow!
But my final promotion requires 25 million followers. *sighs


Ume: Almost everybody ignores me when I blow out my candles!
Papa continues chatting with Grandpa.
Grandma and Great-Gramps Omu can't even be bothered to look over.
Soooo sad!


Ume: Of course, everyone gets into party mode when Urchin cakes up.
It's like I was just there as warm-up for Urchin! Grrrr.


Ume (left): Whatever, we're both teens now!
Urchin (right): You shoulda known they'd be lame like that!
Remember earlier, how they wouldn't sit with us to eat?
Ume (shouts): It's time for our makeovers yo!


Urchin: Here we are in our everyday and formal outfits.
Hah, you know we're gonna spend all our time in our cold-weather garb!


And here are our traits and our first aspirations.
We won't get our third traits, though, until our young adult birthday. That's one week from now.

I voted, but it was a tough choice since they are equally beautiful.  Congratulations to all your Sharebears for being so close to finishing!

[Shewolf13]

So hard!  But I did have to go with the one that still has the red hair and that has archeology scholar. But they are both gorgeous.

Heir Vote Re-Opened Until Monday Evening

I've reopened my heir vote poll to close on Monday afternoon instead of Sunday night.
No doubt, the result will still be the same but still.
Since I won't reach the girls' YA birthday until Monday afternoon, I might as well keep the heir vote open until then.

[LenaLJ]

Cant belive it was already time for the last vote.
Thanks for reopening it, I wansnt home in the weekend to vote

[oshizu]

In case you've been wondering what happened to me, I've been on a reading jag for the past 2 weeks.
Thanks to a break from simming, I'm caught up with all the reading I'd hoped to do by November end.

Now, I'm hoping to wrap up this legacy and finish the 2019 Tournament's last challenge within the next week.
I'm pretty sure all sorts of weird things have happened to my game in my absence.
Regardless, my Sharebears will attempt to hobble toward their conclusion.

Thank you for stopping by!

8.87: So, Where Were We?

Week 26/Thursday (Fall, Day 5)

Vaguely familiar redhead: Hey, watcher! Remember me?
You changed your hairstyle, Ume!
Redhead: Eh, get our name's straight, watcher! I'm Urchin. Ume's my twin!
Anyway, I look pretty cool, right? A little more like our founder now.

True, true. Sooooo, where were we? I haven't seen you in over 2 real-life weeks.
Urchin: I believe the last time you logged in was soon after my teen birthday.
Yeah, I gave makeovers to those teen ophanage boys. They're dazzlingly handsome!
I almost caved and thought about having Gen9 complete the three new careers…


Urchin: But you didn't update and you've disabled Get Famous for now?
That's right. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and all that.
Oh and, by the way, congratulations on winning the Gen9 heir vote.
Urchin: My sister is gorgeous but she never stood a chance.

A big thank you to those of you who voted! 💖



Urchin: It's Founder's Love Day today, the anniversary of our founder's passing.
That's Papa Teagan. He's the current heir until my young adult birthday next week.
Mama Dianna is a descendant of Jaxton Faust. I get my green eyes and red hair from her.
Hey, watcher, are you having me introduce them to remind yourself who they are?
Um, busted? But some of the readers might have forgotten, too?


That's Grandma Shiso. I've heard some rather unsavory rumors about her.
Apparently, she had a child with three different men, around the same time.
But Papa says Grandpa Ronan is the only one Grandma's ever loved.
Sounds complicated.


Ume: Feels great to be a teen, eh, sis?
Urchin: I don't know. I mean, what are we 'sposed to do for a week?
Ume: What do you mean?
Urchin: Only three more things need to happen now.
One, Papa maxes his career. Two, I move in a spouse with 3 unique traits.
Three, I give birth to a son. That's when the fat lady sings.

Ume: So, we don't need to get good grades or finish our aspirations?
Urchin: Exactly.


Urchin: I've been hearing words about some Positivity Challenge, so I phone the coordinator.
Huh, a new Positivity Challenge aspiration? That's no good for Ume and me!
Just a sec! Lemme summon the rest of the household.


Ronan: It's nice to have something new to do for the rest of the week.
But what are we supposed to do with these packages?
Dianna: Who knows? All I can do is put it in inventory or place it in the world.
Teagan: Eh, my first priority is completing the last career: Internet Personality!


Urchin: So I've decided to drag along everything with me here to Selvadorada.
What are my options? Sleep at triple speed until next Thursday?
Nah, I'd rather play around with my Jungle Explorer aspiration.

Might as well take advantage of the fact that Ume and I have the day off!
Dem teen boys aren't going anywhere. We can always meet them on Sunday!


Ume: Obviously, I stay home to read my three books for Nerd Brain. *sighs


Urchin: I seem to recall that Uncle Tristan married Mama's twin sister, Louise.
Auntie Louise is pregnant (again).
Uncle Tristan, couldn't you pick a nicer spot to ask to feel the baby?
Looks like a fight's about to break out behind you!


Despite my lack of preparation, I've passed every gate obstacle successfully so far.



Friday

By the time I'm done exploring the temple, it's 8:05 am.
Quick, let's head home, folks. Ume and I still have time to attend school today!

By the way, I manage to bring home three rare Omiscan treasures!


We arrive home at 8:25 am, but Ume and I can't leave for school. Darn!
I was so lucky in Selvadorada during my recent trip!
The temple traps didn't give me any problems at all.
Somewhere, though, I picked up the three-day Curse of the Food Mirage.


Papa comes home with a promotion to Reality Show Contestant.
In other words, he's now a Level 9 Internet Personality.
Thing is, he's short about 13.3 million followers for his last promotion.


Urchin: I'm not going to even try to finish my Jungle Explorer aspiration.
Just for kicks, though, I buy that Madre statue to max my Selvadorada Culture skill.
Don't bother, people! It's faster to socialize with the vendors at Selvadorada.


After Papa completes his daily task, he jogs over to the Wishing Well.
A big smile breaks out on the hooded Well's face at Papa's generous offering.
We're all relieved when Papa gets a full promotion to Internet Superstar!
Papa is officially done with grubbing for followers!


Tristan: Congrats on maxing the legacy's final career, Teagan!
How great that we're dining out tonight to celebrate your success.
(Even though I didn't rate a celebratory dinner when I maxed Musician last week…)
Teagan: Thanks, Tristan, but it's not just about me.


Urchin: Uncle Tristan, I chose this restaurant because it serves Selvadoradan cuisine.
I'm trying to cure my Curse of the Food Mirage!
Teagan: Aren't we returning to Selvadorada tomorrow?
Urchin: I'd rather not, Papa. Completing Jungle Explorer is too much work!
Why should I spend so much time on an aspiration that's already been completed?


Teagan: So what's your plan until next Thursday, Urchin? Sleep?
Urchin: Hardly! Ume and I are going to go meet those boys we met as children.
Each of us will pick the one we fancy the most.
Then we're going to date every day until our next birthday.
Ain't that right, Ume?


Ume: I'm merely the Spare-in-Waiting, Urchin, so thanks for thinking of me.
It's sad to think that our time with this legacy will be so short. *sniff, sniff
But we're going to have a blast until it's over!
*whispers: May I move in someone and have a nooboo, too, sis?


When Papa goes to pay the check, the restaurant comps our meal.
The manager says it's because Papa's a star.
We're assuming it's because he's an Internet Superstar.
That has to be it. I couldn't avoid downloading Get Famous so I've disabled it.


Urchin: After all the time we spent in the Arts Quarter, what happened with Zombie Carl?
Teagan: Well, the Humor & Hijinks Festival finally despawned.
But afterward, the two food stalls spawned on the other size of the plaza.
Instead of facing the Casbah Gallery, they're facing the other way kinda.

Urchin: But we're still gonna keep checking, right?
Teagan: Might as well. *sighs


Ume: Hey, sis, I thought you didn't want to return to Selvadorada anymore!
Urchin: Believe me, I didn't. But just eating Selvadoradan food didn't cure my curse.
I don't want be dazed for the next days!
Don't worry, Ume. We'll be leaving right away. I just need to check one thing...


Ume: Check what?
Urchin: Remember how our founder married the cantina's bartender Jose?
I thought that it would be cool if maybe…
Ume: Nope.
Urchin: Right. Visit those guys in Oasis Springs tomorrow?
Ume: Finally!

Getting caught up on reading is a great reason to take a sim-break.  You picked a good time to do it, too, since you must have missed most of the worst patch bugs. 

How funny that your sims decided to stand in their positivity challenge boxes!  I hope they figured it out.   

It's nice to see that Gen 9 gets to relax a little.  The previous generations set them up well.

reggikko introduced me to my first Reading Challenge in spring.
Since then, I've discovered that I enjoy reading challenges--yearly, quarterly, monthly--as much as I love sims-related challenges.

Even though I pre-ordered Get Famous right away, I have yet to play it. I couldn't avoid downloading it, but I immediately disabled it.
I feel like I have so much catching-up to do, haha. When I read the Get Famous threads, I have no idea what simmers are talking about.
Part of me wants to let Gen9 do the three new careers, but the more rational part of me says no.
I'm better off starting a test file and learning all the ins-and-outs of Get Famous gradually and leisurely.

No Positivity Challenge for my Sharebears, either. I want to focus on the Gen9 girls rather than run around trying to do good deeds, lol.
Still, I'm having trouble bring my legacy to a close, for some reason. Haha.
