The Mars 4x4 Dynasty - MasterChef & da Vinci (Jan 29th)

[KRae]

I'm glad to see that you're not having the aging bug that I did after using young again potions. I was keeping my fingers crossed for you!

[Nettlejuice]

Doesn't Neil have a redder version of Chris's hair? He's gorgeous, nonetheless.

[Nutella]

@KRae
I was crossing my own fingers too, but since I am only using the potion on Christopher, I figure the rest of the family is safe.  I'm not planning to let Christopher die. 

[Nutella]

@Nettlejuice
Yes, I believe Neil's hair is redder.  Thanks, I think he's gorgeous too. 

[Rhoxi]

How fun! I like how you're avoiding things that would make the game easier and going for the high price museum. As if the challenge was challenging enough on its own!  It's too bad the rainboos ran out so fast, but it's funny that you kicked Tori out for it. Poor girl; she couldn't help it! Are any of your spouses going to be sticking around other than Chris?

[Nutella]

Yes I was so sad the rainboos ran out, but the show must go on.  I needed a reason to kick Tori out.    Hmm, maybe a spouse is going to stick around, I'll have to think about it.  For me its more fun kicking them out than keeping them, too much work trying to keep them occupied.

[KRae]

I used young again on one elder in my family, but the whole family got bugged even though they didn't take the potion.

[Nutella]

I had 4 teleporters saved in the family collection just for Neil, these 4 teleporters will be my 4th family collection after the handiness upgrade.  It's good for Neil too, he can hammer all day long to let out his frustration.



Neil has upgraded enough objects to complete the Tinkerer Skill Challenge!



With all 3 handiness skill challenge completed, I had him focus on his career now, working at home whenever possible.



With 7 days left to becoming an elder, Neil's impressive performance has earned him a promotion to Astronaut.



Every girl in Sunset Valley wants Neil.  The combination of being an astronaut, gorgeous looking, plus a nice buff body is irresistible.







He can't make up his mind which girl to choose, so he left his fate up to a magic 8 ball (Orb of Answers).  Bad idea?



The magic 8 ball told him to pick Nevaeh.  Wait, who is Nevaeh, none of those 3 girls name is Nevaeh.  Oh right, that's his imaginary friend's name.  Neil found some old Imaginary Friend Metamorphium Potion made by his grandpa Gregory in the family treasure chest, he gave it to his doll and waited.





Hello Nevaeh, my name is Neil and I'm an astronaut, want to get marry and have my baby?

NEVAEH MARS


I think her answer is yes.



Food poisoning?  Those apples she ate earlier must be rotten.



Neil ventured into the time machine and found the most expensive book that I've ever seen, the New Ice Age book, its worth $2975.  I had Christopher feed the book to a perfect omni plant after 12am, so that the book doesn't lose value when 5am harvesting time comes.  Christopher has to do it in style, wearing his "fish" boxers to harvest.



Neil is busy time traveling in his machine and Christopher is busy admiring his own "fish" boxers, nobody noticed Nevaeh screaming in the house.





Welcome, Michelangelo Simoni Mars.

Arlo Bunch was also weird in my game and he ends up with Christopher Steel. Eww... I never expected about that.

Do you kick out your spouse to focus on heir as your reason? It might be easier to have small people instead having a spare without a purpose. I just wonder about that, Nutella.

How fast having "Fast Learner" anyway? Can you tell the difference?

That was very clever for broken objects! You planned it thoroughly aren't you

How accurate using a teleporter anyway? Can they go home instantly? I never use teleporter in my Sim life.

Welcome Michelangelo, which seems familiar, is he based on Italian artist? Like Leonardo da Vinci ? If yes, I’ll be loved to see him having beard like the real person!

Yes.  Spouses and housemates and spares all have no purpose in this dynasty, and I find them more annoying than useful.  So if they are not useful, I kick them out.  If I find them useful in some ways (like Christopher Steel and fishing), I keep.

How fast having "Fast Learner" anyway? Can you tell the difference?

Yes I can definitely tell the difference, although I don't have the exact percentage of how much faster.

How accurate using a teleporter anyway? Can they go home instantly? I never use teleporter in my Sim life.

For my dynasty, I choose not to use the teleporter.  Those teleporters are only for Neil to upgrade for the family collection, as soon as he finish upgrading, he will put them back into the family inventory, I don't want the teleporters to lose their value, so that means no leaving teleporters out in the lot overnight.

I have use teleporter in my other games, and yes they can go home instantly.  Mostly accurate but sometimes it does send you somewhere else instead of your targeted location.  If you have high handiness skill, you can upgrade "perfect transportation" to get 100% accurate transportation.  You can also get a witch to upgrade it too.

Welcome Michelangelo, which seems familiar, is he based on Italian artist? Like Leonardo da Vinci ? If yes, I’ll be loved to see him having beard like the real person!

Yes, that's the Michelangelo.  I'm thinking about giving him a beard when he reaches elder, if I can find the appropriate beard.

Neil was so popular around women! Every woman couldn't resist his charm, especially with that astronaut suit. Welcome to Michangelo! I wish that he would have wonderful hair like his mother had.

Heir #4:  Michelangelo Simoni Mars
Named after one of the greatest sculptor / artist of all time.


Hates the Outdoors     Loner

Shortly after Michelangelo aged up to Toddler, I found Nevaeh in the park flirting with Malcolm Landgraab.





That is unacceptable, I kicked her out of the dynasty's house.  Nevaeh wasn't too happy with my decision, gave me a dirty look and drove off in her dinky little car.  No limousine for her.





Dear Michelangelo, big bad grim took mommy away, daddy will take care of you.  Had to lied, can't tell him mommy left.



He wants his doll, and I couldn't find it in the mailbox.  Uncle Riley and Aunt Bertha must have forgot.

Hates the Outdoors     Loner     Ambitious

Michelangelo didn't need a doll, because he can turn into one himself.



Neil doesn't like it when Michelangelo changes into doll form, he thinks it is creepy.



No more doll form son, you will scare all the girls away.



TEEN

Hates the Outdoors     Loner     Ambitious     Savvy Sculptor

I just can't stand his hair, I don't like that it is covering most of his face.  If he grows up with that hair, I will have to do something about it.  On his birthday Michelangelo asked for a sculpting station.  He loves spending every minute of his time hammering and chiseling away on the station.





Neil had to bribe him with a brand spanking new car so that he would leave his sculpting station and learn how to drive.



It's time, let's hope the game will pick a good hairstyle for him.



Nope, that hair needs to go.

[LenaLJ]

No luck with the ladies huh?

Are you playing as fast as you are posting?

[Nutella]

Yes, right now I am currrently playing Michelangelo in his YA stage.  The irony is that it takes me longer to post than to play the game.
