In which we can’t wait for the new EP

I love the sculptures Puddle makes. When he tops his career (level 9 at the moment) I want to fill the basement with a whole collection of them.

Interesting tidbit – he doesn’t have the savvy sculptor trait because I heard you don’t get rocks if sims have it. So when he sculpts stone, every third or so sculpture he finds a rock – and we’ve still not got any woohooium. I mean, Ambitions has been out, what, a year? We suck.

The poor fella is desperate to marry and have kids but we need to dispatch his sisters first, and that may take some time. Oh well, at least he and his spouse will get to have fun with the new Generations wedding type activities.

I gave Bramble some make-up, which I think suits her. She’s still making S-L-O-W progress on those mixology challenges.

Here’s the latest on our alcoholic exploits:

Pomelo nectar (not squished pre-blending) – 8h +25 Breathtaking balance moodlet, 4h +15 Sugar Rush moodlet – I must remember to do the squished one next update to compare.

Sorrow annihilator – 10h +50 Wash away the Worries moodlet – very nice!

Mona has 31 top scores now, and even though she’s a vamp, is approaching elder status. *Double thumbs-up EA*. She also got a medal for 50 successful renovations which I don’t understand. (I’m sure she’s had a medal before but can’t remember what for). It can’t be 50 completed renovations, as she’s done many more than that. It can’t be 50 perfect ones as she’s on 31. It could be 100 I suppose, and thus a second medal. I hate this LTW, and if I wasn’t doing this legacy for educative purposes I’d have downloaded a mod to cheat the number of completions many months ago. Don’t ever, ever attempt it without a mod. Let me suffer so you don’t have to.

You may have noticed in the last shot that there was a plasma juice on the table. After her being all thirsty at a client’s house, I clicked on her thirst button, she went to the fridge and I attended to another sim. When I went back to her, she’d just put it on the table without drinking. SIMS ARE STUPID.

Maybe she just wants to commit suicide to get out of her LTW – like I wouldn’t just activate Oh My Ghost if she accidentally died!

Also on the plasma juice front, I got Jody Knight (a ‘normal’ sim) in Rainbow Knights to drink some and it just filled up his hunger, rather than give him any kind of unusual moodlet. Boring.

Alley’s celebrity stock just isn’t rising very fast despite all the passings out, pap shots and autographs she gets. So she’s been doing everything she can to make celebrity friends, from guitaring…

…to tiggy round the nightclubs. (I traded out lucky or workaholic, I forget which, for childish). She’s made some friends but they’re nearly all 1 or 2 star celebs and I suspect she needs a few five star buddies. Our celeb map spotter thingy is useful in locating where celebs are hanging out though, which is nice.

Yes, we are one in thought Alley, but it doesn’t seem to be happening for us.

Now this is a weird one. Lola Belle died a vampire thirst death many moons ago, but the game just regenerated her and she doesn’t seem to age much. Anyway, Alley tried to befriend her but Lola peed herself and then the club closed. Fail.

I wondered if more scandal would do us some good, so I had her beat up a bouncer.

She won, and there was all this debris scattered around her. She also got a 2h +31 ‘Won the brawl’ moodlet. Feisty! This didn’t make the news though, which makes me wonder what kind of a rubbish gossip rag the Bridgeport newspaper actually is.

Now I’ll be honest with you all. The Dayes get played about once a week at the moment, and then for a couple of hours or so. because their save file is so laggy it takes an age to get things done, and they’re a bit irritating to play right now, given their intense neediness and how long their chosen missions take to accomplish. I mean GaGa was born in August 2010. That’s nearly a a year ago. Ridiculous! We’re all looking forward to Generations. Even though the new LTWs etc will be something for Gen 10/11 to tackle as Gen 9 are slated to be a band, it’ll be fun to have new objects and interactions.

And just in time for the new EP, GaGa finally decided to clear some space in the house. She was 110, which I think might make her the oldest living non-creature Daye in the house so far. Join us next time to see whether I get any further with my desire to get Alley and Bramble out of the house, and to see the inevitable chaos of us installing Generations!
