Household I-1,
Fall 2

- Hello and Welcome back to another Episode of Instant City –a BaMC Challenge…. –
‘Wait – we are actually doing that? I thought you already abandoned….’
- SILENCE! Last time – subplots happened. Also: New Business District Sunsphere Islands. And now the continuation…. Of
the plot I mean…. –
‘We have a plot?’
- PSSSHT…! -

*moody pulp fiction music playing…*
*It was a dark and stormy night, when suddenly… well, okay, it was actually daylight and there was no storm, but… oh well…*
-…. RING!...-

‘What?! Who’s there? What do you want?!’

‘… it’s time…. Time for the plot… for things to unfold and…’

‘OH FOR… Cut the Crap! I know you! You’re that Servo H-4 gumshoe from the last grey wizard meeting, the one, who went
through all the lockers to snoop out the whereabouts of the Philosophers’s stone, because… wait, why are we suddenly in
color?’

‘Well, Duh! Because you ruined it, thanks for nothing! Here I try to set up a grim noir story, being all mysterious and dark,
and then you come up with all that sim potter crap…’
‘… but you said plot, so I thought I could now just add any crap that comes to mind, because that’s how we always do this
and…’
‘MY plot, you dummy…! The Descent into a new era of Story Plot! Listen to this: This city is a mad house, a swamp that
needs to be drained… but it is my city, and it has been my lover and my mother and…!’

‘OKAY, Okay, I get it! Listen, Mister Gumshoe/Superhero/whatever – from one wizard to the other: You are going about this
the wrong way – you try to invoke a plot into this – this never works out, because we are all empty templates! Yes, you
heard right – we are interchangeable and have no character, and by the time a household reaches another chapter, we’ve
already forgotten what was last time! In fact, this scene doesn’t really connect to your big bru-ha-ha last chapter….! And no,
I’m not putting that out to get under your metal, or because the writer doesn’t really know how to go from here… well okay,
it is exactly because of that… but you know what?? You forgot one important thing, one thing that can turn the entire
problem around… you know what that thing is?? One word: Magic! Solves everything! Sim Potter my…!’
-…. I…. think that is enough for a transition…. Also: Ouch, the template things hurts….well, truth always does… -

-… oh well…so yeah, I couldn’t really come up with a big plot development like I had hoped last chapter would drive me to…
….*cough* still thinking about a ‘Pink gorilla Suit Man and Pink hair gorilla girl’ story though *cough* ….
… sooo, after welcoming 28th Great-Granddaughter-1 aka Helen and 28th Great-Grandson-1 aka Ernest… uhm…. okay, lets
try this ‘Magic’ approach… how does that work? –
‘Simply – we just explain everything we are going to do with ‘magic’, thereby eliminating any sense of reason for a plot…’-
-… Isn’t that we basically do all the time?...-
‘ …But this time, it’s Magic! We do this, because ‘Magic’! We do that because ‘Magic’ !! We go somewhere not because we
need more friends for a promotion, but because ‘Magic’ dictates it… !!!-

‘… like going to the Manor of permanent Twilight in Numa Key…! Magic!’
-… wow, flashback memories… it’s been a while since we visited this thing….since the first spring of Instant City for
Household H, before it was separated by the ‘Occupy Instant City’ Movement , if I recall correctly…. –

-… ah yes, it’s been like yesterday, since we walked through the Halls of this marvelous building, pondering about all the
magic secrets it held for the grey wizards… -

-…then selling stuff to the dupes who believe all this crap…-
‘Now that’s not very nice… also: Hello, any mention of me and my cousin socializing the crap out of all said dupes…?’
- Psssht...!-

-… anyway, we’re also getting bronze sales badges in the process…-

-… and then it’s time for the store to close to… *ehrm*… for what do we close again? –
‘My guess is as good as yours… my serva friend is the one with the ‘Magic’ ideas….’
‘… and I’ve just found a solution!’
-…?-

‘… okay, so we need 3 liters of authors tears, a quint of inspiration, two sleepless nights and… Custom Content, lots of…’
-… wait, what….?!-

*Pew* *spurt* *gurgle*
‘Okay, all set and done… do you really think, that will work?’
‘Only one way to try it out…!’

‘Oookay… *ehem*… spiritus poultri…no wait, that was the other spell…Avra Kadevr… no, that’s not right either, isn’t it…?...’
‘Uhhh… I feel funny suddenly…’

‘Bok,bok, bok, bok…!’
‘Dangit… I knew, that wasn’t right… Serva friend, what was the correct spell again…?’
‘Just say ‘Magic’, that works too…’
‘… Okay, ‘Magic’?...’
‘BOKBOKBOKBOKBOKBOKBOK!...’
‘It doesn’t work!’
‘Try again, till it stops being funny!...’

-… a few attempts later…-
‘BOokoOooh.. I know, that we are nothing but guinea pigs for you… but you’re playing with my life here… what are you
doing to me…?’
- hey, don’t attack me, I’m not the one doing the magic here… -
‘… you are writing this!’
‘.. Nope - ‘Magic’! Hey – this is actually a good excuse… magic, magic…’
‘So… not funnyYyYyy… *Grow* *grow* *grow*…!’

*DING*
‘Wh… what happened?’
-… I… guess, the first stage in plantsim evolution… wow, that doesn’t look half bad… dear viewers, watch this nice plantsim
accessory by Princess Bliss Sim, plus new eyebrows by Skell…-
‘Looking good, Cousin…’

‘… now how do you like my new look?’
‘Oh – wise old man from the east?’
‘…*sigh*…kinda…’
-… well, I for one can say, thank you very much for the conversion, Skell…-
‘I still don’t get, what this is going to change…?’

‘Patience, servo-friend – we’re not done with the magic yet… ‘
-… not? What are you … oh, oh…-
*BIG MAGIC SPARKLE*

‘annnd… there! After using nettness Plantsims for so long, we’ve now switched to a new A Multi Ideal Plantsim Mod! by
DeeDee. Let the Diversity commence!’
-… Uhm… doesn’t that put too much strain on my poor computer…? Two plantsim mods…? –
‘three words: Different. Elf. Ears.’
*cackles insanely & giddy*
‘As I said: Magic… ‘

‘… so what do you think: Magic is awesome or what?’
‘Well… it does add some variety… but I’m still not sure how…’
‘Oh shut up, you muggle…prepare for my feared tickle spell…’
‘AhahaHAHA… this isn’t mahahagic…’
‘Oh yeah? We are Servos, how can we be ticklish…?’
‘Dohohont knohohohow…!’
-… I guess, we should leave them on their date for now…-

-… and instead follow the adventures of our freshly restyled Plantsims Helen and Earnest…-
‘*Yawn*… welcome to Mosh Spicy Mini Mall, one badge of juice trays costs…What the…?! What is… with your hair?!!!’
‘Hi, aunt Caitlin… I am the guinea pig for another brain haired scheme of the writer… or magic, whatever you prefer… also,
aside from the juice trays, how is your selection of clothes?’
‘…Clothes? Oh, you mean for the space suits….!’
‘Yes and no… apparently, this magic thing wants me to get out of those leaves and into something… different….’
‘Hey Cuz – check me out….!'

‘… how do I look?’
- For whoever wants to know: this is one of the Teen Male Plantsim Add-ons by jmtmom– converted to adult males by me.. -
‘Meh, I don’t like it… you should take a fedora and a trench coat, at least it would be a bit more noir…!’
‘Shut up, I wasn’t talking to you, Servo H-4…!’
‘…You are still going for that ‘Wise old man of the east in leafs’-thing?’
‘Oh for…! - yes, I’m going exactly for that, Cuz! What are you going to do…?!’

‘… oh, I’m just going with the orginal outfit to the accessory by Princess Bliss Sim, plus the checkered Jacket is a nice
departure from the leafs theme…’
-… mmhm… this looks quite good… how about showing it to the world at the hottest club in town…?-

-….Later, at the Club V in Instant City….-
‘Oooh… soo hot…’
-… told ya … -
‘Why does she get all the praise? I don’t look half bad either, look at my…!’

‘Whu… wait, what happened to my hair?...’
-… yeah, that happened… every time, we visited a lot, the hair reverted back to standard plantsim hair… not that a mirror
couldn’t fix this, but it was still annoying….-

-… only Helen was unaffected, because her hair is an accessory…-
‘Wow, like your hair, niece… wanna make out?’
‘You’re really forward, uncle…’
‘Please, call me Virgil… ‘
‘I’m Helen… and as for your blunt question….’

*Smoooch*
-… that was fast… is it the new look? And I don’t mean Virgil’s new chubby look – seriously man, get a grip, I just lost weight
myself and all I needed to do was to exercise…-

‘Uhm – excuse me? May I have some attention too? I mean it’s clear, that you try to get the girls of the family become
pregnant left and right, while we males only get action with aliens... but how about a little reward for being your guinea pig
with this magic thing….?’
- Okay – first: the whole pregnancy thing – HEY! Second: the majority of you still gets plant-spawned, so pregnancy is rather
a method of deviation then the norm; third: HEY! Fourth: Oh, for…-

-… okay, here are the girls, pick your choice and/or work your way through the hood, watch me if I care…-
‘Uhm… that was kinda harsh and sudden… I’m not that experienced, but… Heeey, Cousi… Ladies…?’
‘Oh look – it’s an old man from the East, lets do the ceremonial bowing to him, Cousi… or aunt?... ‘
‘….Who were you again…?’
-… yeah, restyling the hood to figure out who’s who might be a good idea after all…-

-…and while Helen finishes her dream date… -
‘Woo – that was like riding a jumping castle… or a pudding…’
‘*Snif*… where is the Gym…?’
-… as I said, her dream date…-
*Lullaby*
-… …. as I said, her(!) dream date…-

-… Ernest was finally able to score…-
‘…Can you teleport? Or do Tantric Massages…?’
‘*Sigh* Look – the ‘old man of the east’ joke isn’t funny anymore… also, aunt …. Aspasia, while the ‘uncle’ jokes might make
this kind of relationships funny for women, for men, it this is a bit… *ehrm*… you know….’
‘….You know, at this point, I should just go home instead of listening to you suddenly getting cold feet… buuut my name is
out there now, and that can only mean, that I am in for a restyling later… so lets do this….!’
-… wow, this is the first time, where two rejections lead to a date…-

-… well, almost… -
‘Sorry, I’m going home, because my needs are so low!’
‘B… but you were almost in the booth, you can’t…!’
‘Bye, ‘Nephew’… it’s been fun….’
‘… and thanks for the ‘nephew’, I suddenly don’t feel less rejected and more disgusted by myself now….’
-… so your…. need to get rewarded is sated I hope…?-
‘… guess so… lets just forget this ever happened…’

-… and so…-
‘Sooo, Cuz, how was your date with your… ‘aunt’…?’
‘*Brrr*… how is it, that this sounds icky, but when you do it with your…. ‘uncle’ , it becomes naughty, but is still… okay?’
‘You overthink this too much, Cousin – if Eaxis thinks, romance between Sims several generations apart is okay, it IS okay…’
‘… do you want to date the Professor?’
‘EWWWW – no, of course not, that be like dating a thousand year old corpse by now….!’
-… can we please, pleaaase change the subject? Just because I’m writing this doesn’t mean I need to like it…-

‘Okay, okay… how about: BaAaabiIiiISSsss…!’
-… ah, much better….-

-… and with that, we witness the first generation with the new Plantsim Mod: here’s 28th Great-Granddaughter-1’s aka
Helen’s 29th Great-Grandson-1 – aww, look at these ears…-

-… then 28th Great-Grandson-1’s aka Ernest’s 29th Great-Granddaughter-1… aww, more ears…-

-… and finally 28th Great-Grandson-1’s aka Ernest’s 29th Great-Granddaughter-2…EEEAARS!...-
‘… You are taking the ear thing really to the extreme….’
- EEEEEEEEEEARS! –
‘Yes, yes – ears, got it… good luck getting them a decent haircut later…’
-…-

-… anyway, right after that, Helen and Ernest as well as the Servos have to go to work … so it’s once again time for …-

‘Where are you, my lord?!’
-… *ech*… the potty god loving nanny… sorry, potty nanny, no toilets on this lot…-
‘AAAAAAAH – MY LORD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN MEEEE!!!’
-… pff, fanatics…-

-… oh well, another work day over, another promotion…-

-… another puddle on the lot… sorry about the deco, it really shows that I suck at matching these things together…-

-… and while Helen prepares the inevitable cheese cake, Ernest prepares the kids with the inevitable lullaby skill…-

-… while the Servos bring in another potential business district as well as magic another rose bouquet out of thin air…-
‘It’s Magic!’
-… eh, that’s probably more of a hand trick, lots of magicians do that… -
‘Because Magic wants it!’
-… is ‘magic’ your new catch phrase for everything now? –
‘If it ticks you off, then… Magic!’
-… lets move on…-
Potential
Business
Districts:
63+2 = 65

-… with Chance cards: *BAM*, 5000 Simoleons for selling shares…-

-… and another *Bam*, another 5000…-
‘Magic!’
-… shut up…-

-… and another magi… promotion! Dangit...-

*SPROING!*
‘Aww…Magic!’
- NO! IT’S NOT! It’s pregnancy! –
‘Then how can you explain the invisible pregnancy belly?’
-… it is missing a pregnancy mesh….-
‘... Because Magic demands it!’
- *headdes…* wait, why should I headdesk over this? After all, it does explain this away…. So yeah, whatever…-

-… so okay, moar chance cards… another 5000 earned from selling shares…-

-… and then its stargazing or not with a coworker you don’t like…-

-… and we do it and it gets an increase in our enthusiasm for…-
‘Magic!’
- … no, Science! –
‘Magic!!’
- SCIE… wait, why am I even arguing with you? It’s obvious that only your magic enthusiasm increased…-
‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from…’
- SHUT UP! -

*Sproing*
‘MAG…!’
- NO! TIMES INFINITY! Not everything is magic! And yes, that statement includes pregnancy! –
‘I magically teleported in that picture! That counts!’
-… I give up… -

-… *sigh*… so the… *magical* wonder of the *magical* plantsims growing up *magically* happened…-

-… annd – ears! WEEEEEE…! -

-… and after that, the obvious role call: 29th Great-Grandson-1 is a moneygrubbing, lipstick-loving Big hat fetishist, who
discriminates Blondes…-
‘HEY!’

-.. While 29th Great-Granddaughter-1 is a Pro-Blonde-Activist with Soccer Ambitions, determined to scientifically prove that
Tuxedos are dumb…-
‘What??’

-… and finally 29th Great-Granddaughter-2, who has fun partying with blonde beefs with anti-soccer ambitions…-
‘… I know, you’re just poking fun at random turn-ons and –offs being given, but… … oh forget it… lets go to the moon
instead, because you always go to the moon…’

‘… right?’
-… and this is why I make fun of turn-ons and –offs, because you are no fun at all if you do that…-

-… oh well, lets put you into space suits, get acquainted with the skillz of the business…-

-… as well as all the other skillz….-

-… and then…-
‘MAGIC!’
-… Serva I-1, where are you? –
‘Magically disappeared from the picture!’
-… seriously? I forgot to take a picture of you, and you explain it away with magic…? –
‘… which is why Magic is such a good explanation for everything! Now you don’t have to stage a picture, where I swing my
wand to force the next transformation… instead I can just say ‘MAGIC!’ and…!’

‘… *ALA*….!’
-…!.... Okay, while I wouldn’t call it ‘magic’, I’d say that 29th Great-Grandson looks…yummy… with the beard and eyebrows by
Skell and the hair by Lilith-sims… -

‘…*BAM*!!’
-… hmm, 29th Great-Grandddaughter-2, right? The hair (and eyebrows) by Skell look good.. just a bit … ‘Sims 4’-y…? -

‘…*BAM*!!!’
-… hair by Artemida, eyebrows once again by Skell… starting to see a pattern here… -
‘Can I also get a new dress like… … …uhm, who was my parent again?.... OH right, I have a sister AND an aunt…’
-… You just had to say that, right?? Listen, I numbered you and put up a family tree for a reason, so I don’t get confused…!
And yes, I DID need to look this up.. Or do you think I can remember every name from generation 6 or 9 by now?? –
‘…Sheesh, don’t get so angry, it was just a bad joke you made to yourself…’
-… -

-… whatever, lets go buy some clothes at the Simiety Vintage Theatre in Instant City… and once again, we all need a mirror
to keep our hair… -

-… and after a change at the booth… …. … okay, I have to admit, that looks kinda…niiice… -
‘Who made the clothes, copyright enfringer?’
-… … …-
‘… how much time did pass to research that, because you forgot to take notes?’
-… Quiet! Soooo…… 29th Great-Grandson-1 sports Treemusic, by salixtree at parsimonious.org, 29th Great-Granddaughter-1
chose Teen female plantsim addons by jmtmom– converted by me(!) to adult females…-
‘Converted?? Copybutchered you mean…! Hey Sis, can’t we trade? I’d prefer your EAxis Apartment Life Splitdress…’
‘Nu-Uh! Mine! Get your own…!’

-… are you finished? Because it’s nicknaming time…-
‘Now? We are not even in the picture!’
- Yes, because the banter took up so much space… soooo – without any reason – this nicknames’ theme is:… Star Wars…-
‘Dibs on Han Solo!’
-… VIII! So 29th Great-Grandson-1 is Finn, 29th Great-Granddaughter-1 is … Rey…?....-
‘… no dibs, sorry, but VII was trying to copy IV, VIII was just stuff leading nowhere, and IX…!!’
- Yes, yes - we get it!… and 29th-Great-Granddaughter-2 is Paige (admittedly, calling her Rose would have been a good
Plantsim name, but we already got a Rose in the hood…)… and now lets go to Bluewinter Range…-

-… and this time it’s Bluewinter market…-
‘You know, you really should take out Gumod’s Radiance Mod 2.5 by dreadpirate –almost every night picture needs to be lit
up by you…’
- I like darkness! ‘Nuff said! –
‘… big baby…’

-… I’M NOT… why am I always arguing with myself?... So, time for another business to be raised… also, Not-Komei-Cook, this
is a mountain neighborhood – why do you wear an eastern apron?...-
‘… couldn’t make it to the laundromat…’
-… ….you never leave your stand! –
‘As I said, couldn’t make it…’
-… -

-… okay, before this is becoming totally nonsensical – here’s our first happy customer…-
‘Umm… do I have to do something now? Like doing crappy banter or so…? I mean, does the ‘first customer’-thing lead to
something, or….?’
‘Nope – still nonsensical…’
- Annnd – CUT! Seriously, how will I ever write anything good, if you lack any interesting qualities???... –
*whistles innocently* ‘Maaa-giiic…’
-... *sigh*… magic it is…-

-… so lets *magically* switch scenery to a *magically* interesting game of the always *magically* appearing kicky ball
between *magica… between Finn and .. Granddaughter-2..*search *search*…. Maude, wasn’t it? –
‘So, you remember me *sarcasm* …. probably didn’t even have to look that far in your notes, because I’m somewhere on the top…’
‘… well, to be fair – I would have trouble figuring out who you are too, because all Plantsims look so uniform…’
‘Ohoh – on the author guys’ side suddenly? Well, doo—de-doo – look at you, in this fancy new dress and fancy hair…’
‘…Jealous? Wanna have a new look too…?’
‘Nope! And don’t even try this reverse psychology thing on me, not falling for it, no…!’

-… *magically* later…-
‘… aww, so glad you agreed to a makeover…you’re my first customer actually, so we might even get a funny mishap out of
it…’
‘… why did I agree to this again…?’
-… *magic*…-
‘… you really should stop listening to Serva I-1’s ‘magic’ advice… this is not magic, it is deus ex ,machina’…’
-… just get this makeover already…-

-… annnd.. *please be a miss, please be a miss*…-

-... *dang*.... ehr, I mean: Yay!... -
‘Oh my… I love it!!’
-… okay, shameless bragging, but… this does actually look good… even if I had to sift through a lot of CC… anyway, the Hair
accessory is again by Princess Bliss Sim, the eyebrows by Skell, and the flower crown is a 3to2 Conversion of the mesh by
Mitarasi Sims (Site defunct) , made and converted by XenoriaRose…-

‘… wow, smoking , aunt Maude… how about some new drapes to match the curtains…?’
‘… do I even have a say in this?’
- Okay, you heard the lady, she doesn’t want new clothes, leave her alone….! –
‘Nononono… I want it! I want it!!’
-… was this now reverse psychology or simply female base desires.. It WAS reverse psychology no doubt *not sexist not
sexist*…-

… and so… -
‘I look pretty!’
-… now this is a bit of a first deviation of what was intended, but with no abundance of leaf-focused clothes, anything
involving a flower theme or just simply being green goes… though the Fall apprentice dress by Lillany is still really tame and
true to the original idea…-
‘So I got the short end of the stick with this? Eh – I can live with that…!’
-… whatever… lets move on…-

- … So the next one ready for a little makeover is 13th-Great-Granddaughter-1 aka Olivia …-
‘… aka the longest preggo in sim history… for the last time, play my household, so I can finally pop these out!!!’
- Wooah – language…!-
‘I DON’T CARE! I HAVE CRAMPS, EATING DISORDERS, TOILET SESSIONS, I WANT… OOOOooOO…!!!’
- Pfew… well done, Rey…. Once again, it’s the 3to2 Conversion by XenoriaRose of Mitarasi Sims (Site defunct)’s Sim3
flower crown mesh, plus the eyebrows by Skell….-

-… and then the hair by Skell too…-
‘Ooh – and the maternity also fits! Leaves, flowers…!’
‘*Sigh*… kid – I don’t want to wear this! I am forced to wear it! I want out – and I want these brats out as well…’
‘Well, can’t do anything about the second one, but for the first….’

-…. And so, the Asian Fusion Bell Arms Completer Outfit from the TS Store Collection, cleaned up and modified by Skell in
the Maxis Match Repository Project came to use…-
‘Hm, that looks good… at least, nobody can see my pregnant belly anymore…’
-…. Hm….-
‘Oh no… nonono, whatever you have in mind, I won’t…!’
‘Great-something-Grandma Olivia, don’t stress yourself about this… think of the babies…’
‘*Sigh*…thanks for reminding me, that you are actually one of my Great-Grandchildren… do you actually know, that our
household was the first to split the family into two branches?.... Oh never mind, I’m hungry, where’s the food stand….?’

-… and while Olivia was drawn to the food stand like a moth to the flame…-
‘… and wouldn’t you like to have an exciting new look too…. Great-Grandpa…?’
‘OoOoh… please, never say that to me again…!’
‘Sorry – Ginger…’
‘… call me 8th Great-Grandson-2, at least then nobody will remember, when you turn me bald or whatever mishap we see
on the next picture …’

‘…And? What do you say now?’
‘ *amazed gasp* ‘
- Once again, the beard and eyebrows were made by Skell, while the hair and glasses are from Eaxis…-

-…. and so is the Eaxis amtopravevest – and I also decided from here on out, that I will not make leaves and/or flowers an
absolute requirement for Plantsim clothes…. as long as it’s green… -
‘two down… two-hundred to go…?’
-… actually, we have over three-hundred Plantsims at this point…-
‘Oh no…’
-… let’s see, how many we can adapt… I guess, it’s a bit like the space suits, some of your relatives still don’t have one…-

-… for now, lets just develop the skills usually needed for a business, like the Silver and Gold sales badges…-
‘Yay – I got gold and you only silver, Sis…!’
‘Yeah… you’re quite superior to me, Paige… guess, you’ll become next gen’s mommy then…’
‘… I just wanted to make a little joke, Rey….’
‘So did I… nah, not really - Have fun next gen…!’
-… thank you for resolving that so easily …-
‘HEY!’

-… of course, Finn also got his Sales Badge upped, and the business jumped to level 4….-
‘Oh, how lucky I am, being the only adult male of this generation this season…. What is so special about moving cousins out
anyway? To get an opportunity at creating incestuous children or what?’
-…hmm, I was always fond of turning male Sims into Simmergirls *cough* transvestite/transgender*cough*…-
‘Ehhk!… I’m good…’
-… very good…-

-… and look at this, I was actually creative once again, milkshaping the mesh by Skell in the Maxis Match Repository Project
for the Asian Fusion Bell Arms Completer Outfit from the TS Store Collection completer to include a pregnant shape….-
‘*Sigh*… whatever… luckily, it still hides this thing…’
-… how about some mommy feelings for a change…? –
‘I’m carrying them till the end of this season! Given the speed you update, the heat death of the universe comes sooner!’
-… hm,… simmer-boys…? –
‘If it gets these babies out sooner, I’m okay with that…’
-… *sigh* …-

-… anyway, we finally make it to level 5, time to pack up and…-

-… move to the Warm Mountain cottage Pet shop…-

-… where the selling immediately continues…-
‘Of course your spectral cat needs a playpen! Being stuck in the magic limbo all the time is soo boring – do something good
for it…!’
‘…and as today’s special we offer a 20% discount on anti-flea-shampoo, sustainable and bigfoot-approved…!’
‘…hmm…we need more chinchilla cages…’
‘… seriously? That’s how you pad out this picture? What has that even to do with…?’
- Magic. –
‘… touche.’

-… so we easily made it to level 3… and just to show that not everything can run completely smoothly, here is one of our
sales products escaping … -
‘That’s not a sales product, that’s a stray… and it’s destroying our sales products… HEY!...’

‘…stop doing that! Bad boy, really bad boy… or girl, because the writer forgot , what your name was…’
- Hey! Okay, I forgot, but still…! –
*whine*

‘Awww… you’re actually sorry… good boy/girl – have a cookie…’

-… and so, while 29th-Great-Granddaughter-2/Paige befriends the stray…-
‘Awww… okay, I have no idea… well, an idea, why you’re showing this, but… oh forget it, we’ll see how this plays out
anyway, right…?’
-… I really should let you stop talking to me, it’s impossible to insert development into this, even with magic, if you – I –
whatever – second-guesses everything…. -

-… anyway, lets leave Rose for now, go to Rey and make her moves on 18th Great-Grandson-2 aka Roy…-
‘…I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder….’
‘What the… are you talking about?’
‘… sorry… mind wandered somewhere… you were saying?’
‘… … wanna have a makeover?...’
‘… … … sure, whatever… ‘
-… yeah, as much as I liked a blade runner quote, I got nothing to develop this any further…-

-… anyway, pet shop or not, we get Roy some new clothes…-

-… and a new look, with the beard, stubs, hair and eyebrows all provided by Skell …-

-… as for aforementioned clothes, we chose the Teen Male Plantsim Add-ons by jmtmom– converted to adult males by
me….Looking good, Roy…-
‘…Fiery the angels fell. Deep thunder rolled round their ….’
-… Oh, shut up…-

-… though on a side note, our makeover has apparently impressed the journalist, giving us another prize…-

-… and now for the big moment…-
‘Awww, you’re such a good a boy… now Sit! And now Stay, Forever…’

-… and with that …-
‘Didn’t work!’
‘… w… whu…?’
‘Too many people in the household, moron, no more pets allowed inside….’
- *Headdesk*… yeah, I really didn’t think moving a pet in through… … oh well, guess, we can do this next gen… soo…
what are we going to do now…? –
‘*ahem*…’

-… yes? –
*whistles innocently*
-… let me guess… - magic, right? –
‘Magic solves anything!’
- Can it move in the stray? –
‘… almost anything…’

‘… but watch – this!...ALA-WAM-BAM!’
-… uhm, we already magicked the Plantsims…-
‘I wasn’t aiming at her…’

‘… but her!’
‘B..Bwak-Bal-Bak-Bak-BAK!’
-… so you turned her into a chicken? That’s not that impressive…. She was already a chick to begin with… get it? –
‘*Sigh*… let me explain…’

‘… this is actally a more subtle approach of magic – instead of forcing something on the vic… the lab ra… the Sim, he is made
much more susceptible to allow something like the Birthmark Overlay by the measure of a sim to be applied to him or her…’

‘…Bawk-Bawk-Bawk?’
‘… well, what do you say?’
-… have to admit, I love it! Always liked all these colorful checkered Sims… -
‘Isn’t this more like vitiligo? This can actually have a big psychological impact on…’
- NO – this is beautiful, and I soo want more of those! Proceed, I-1.. –
‘With pleasure…’

‘… and WAM-BAM!’
‘Uhm… there’s something on your face…?’
- PSST… It’s not nice mocking people for their skin color…-
‘HEY!’
- … thankfully, your rude behavior hasn’t stopped us from getting to level 5….-
‘I’m not rude! You are rude! You made that up!’
-… which means, that we once again have to pack up…-

-… and we are back at the Bluewinter market… and once again, the dreaded standard plantsim hair rears its ugly head…-
‘*Ahem* mimicking* It is not nice mocking people for their hair style…’
-… Ahh, see what you did there, touché!…-
‘ And I see what *you* did, padding this out for no reason just to fill up blank space under the pictures…!’
-… and I see what *you* did, adding padding to the… -
‘ OH for… okay, okay, you win, lets change the subject, please…!’

-…and having won this argument… against myself…. … anyway, we resume our duty to give style to the plantsim community,
starting with 26th Great-Grandson aka Roland…-

-… and once again the beard, stubs and eyebrows by Skell do an amazing job… plus the maxis glasses…-
‘Oh wow! I look like Harry Potter now!’
-… glasses aside, Harry is usually not depicted with a beard… plus you’d need a scar… Finn, if you would…? –
‘Woah – sty away with the scissors, Dude…!’
-… still, looking good…-

-… just as does the ongoing coloration of the neighborhood…-

-… mmmmh, so nicely colored…-

-… sooo…!...-
‘Uhm… excuse me…?’
-…? -

‘Uhm… hi, I’m one of the guys you decided to… colorize… and don’t get me wrong, if you want to continue with this… art
project… still, I kinda like my… natural color, why change that?...’
-... You don’t have to make it sound so… colorist… ….-
‘… your attempt to rephrase the issue makes it even more…’
‘Yes, and the fact that all these overlays look the same makes it also kinda boring…’
‘Do you mind?! It’s rude to interrupt a serious conversation about color…!’
‘It’s just like a Tattoo, it has nothing to do with color…!’
-… Can we please stop having a serious conversation with myself? Especially since I’m running out of space on this page….! -

- let’s instead just focus on plantsim styling… and get a bit experimental, like here with.. 24th Great-Grandson-2 aka
Flash… let’s get flashy… ! –
‘Ugh… that was the dumbest joke I ever…!’
- Sush… let me make you pretty … with Hair and Makeup by Eaxis… wow, can’t believe I’m saying that…-

-… and then finish the look with the Fleetingirridescence clothes by salixtree at parsimonious.org…-
‘… hm…okay, I’m not opposed to that… I almost feel like I have a character now…’
- See? It was a good idea to do this… -
‘… almost – not getting my hopes up, since you will do this to so many of my family, by the time you’re finished, I have died
of old age…’
- Oh shut up…-

-… okay, all the styling fortunately doesn’t stand in the way of leveling and gaining badges…-

-… but lets face it, the restyling takes up front and center of the show, like demonstrated here by 27-Greatgrandaughter-1
aka Emily, who now sports Eaxis’ spiky hair together with the 3to2 Conversion of Mitarasi Sims’s (Site defunct)’s Sims 3
flower crown by XenoriaRose …-

-… combined with the 3to2 PlantSim Clothing Conversion by le_plat_du_jour/ Marja87, with Kinuus kosmik recolours’ by
Zeusar…. –
‘Thank you – and my sympathies for your plight… Only thing I had to do was leveling business, but styling up too?’
‘Eh… except placing you in front of this thing and directing you to the next rack, there’s not much to it… plus it is – of
course– magic!...’
‘… As I said, my sympathies…’
-… for the record, deciding on the outfits and makeup choices isn’t that easy…-

-… or whether or not I should continue with my… ‘art project’ , as someone phrased it…-
‘you did that yourself.’
-… stop pointing that out. –
‘Did that too.’
- …YOU!...-
‘You.’
- ARGHGmph…!! *screams into pillow* -

‘Aww…stop beating yourself up over that… look, you might write this to yourself now, but… so you don’t want to offend
anybody while fearing that the very act trying to avoid to be offensive is offensive already, right? Also, you can’t explain this
in easier words, you’re… complicated that way….‘
-… even I don’t understand what you just sai… what I wrote… -

‘… uhm… then I might suggest a bit more strict dichotomy between ‘us’ and ‘you’? Because if you continue to iterate the
fact, that you write all this and that everything from me is in fact also you, it can be really confusing to anybody else…’
- …. Oh for… can’t you… ‘I’… whoever shut up for a second?! All I’m trying to do is writing a Challenge here, not the next
Pulitzer…! -

‘Well, ‘I’ for one am not impressed, neither with the challenge nor this business, you’ll get a negative review…’
- HEY! What for?! –
‘Neither the ‘art project’ nor these pseudo-philosophical discussions have anything to do with this business…’
- Neither does your review! –
‘Yes, but I’m the one giving you a kick in the behind to finally get on with it…!’
-…okay, okay, got it, we’ll proceed…-

-… but we still continue with trimming the plantsims, like getting 18th Great-Grandson-3 aka Zhora the stubs and hair by
Skell …-

-…and the gypsy outfit for adults by sherabim…-

-… and then we make it till level 10…-
‘Well, that was fast … and sooo focused on the business…’

-… and then we color again…-
‘… the negative review is gone by now, isn’t it…?’
‘…Yep.’
‘…so we’re back doing this now, right?’
‘… yep.’
‘…taking months and years for this chapter to write really didn’t help to improve his skills… figures…’
-… just realized how long since the last chapter… okay, official writers block, sue me…-

‘… and you’ve totally forgotten about me, right?! I had so many eevil plans planned… you suck!’
-… sorry, Granddaughter-5 aka Malphaba… get it? Elphaba from Wicked and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty…-
‘You need to explain that?! I should be legend by now…!’
-… it’s been a while… -
‘… uhm… some trimming, Granny Malphaba?’
-… ouch, now I do feel old… okay, hit me…!’

-… and… -
‘Hmmm… not bad…. I like the horns…’
-… which are part of the Salem Rose Crown 4to2 by Julie J …. Plus some eyeliner, lipstick etc. by Eaxis… -
‘*Shudder*… what have I done? Unleashing an unspeakable evil into the world…!’
-… well, I wouldn’t go that far, Rey… -
‘Unspeakable Evil? OooOh… I like that…!’

‘---Muahaha! Be afraid, world - the new and improved Malphaba is here…!’
*flies off*
-... Okay, perhaps there is some unspeakable evil happening after all…-

-… anyway, eventually no Plantsim showed up for a while, and the coloring wasn’t as interesting anymore…. so it was time
to leave the lot…, but first we needed to prep the next generation for later…-
‘Here… … sorry, I have no idea what to say, because the writer is just looking at star wars quote websites without finding
anything fitting the situation….’
‘I’m not complaining – the sequel trilogy sucked anyway, actually making the prequel trilogy look good in comparison by
now…’
-… apologies, but does anybody remember any memorable quotes from the sequel? So yeah, I got nothing…-

-… oh well, lets take a quick detour to aunt Caitlin’s Mall to get the juice… of course, the planthair disappears here again…-

-… then another quick detour of to the moon, to get all the skills…-
‘Now he’s rushing again?’
‘… do you want this to be drawn out? Does he want this, as he’s writing it?’
‘Nah, I rather just ‘magic’ these questions away… there, gone…’

-… and after this time to go home, meditate a bit…-

-… and then it’s time for 29th-Great-Granddaughter-2 aka Paige and 29th Great-Grandson-1 aka Finn to move out…-

-… annnd it’s a wrap! Thank you and Goody bye and see you again…-
‘Magic!’
-… whu…? –
‘Oh, I just magicked a nother100+ slides into the chapter…’
- … what for???? –
‘Because… magic!’
-… that’s the best ‘I’ came up with?... Oh well…-

-… and admittedly, the chapter was not completely over anyway, Helen still needs to eat the cheese cake she prepared…-

-… we need another promotion and another addition to the potential business district number…-
Potential Business
Districts: 65+2 = 67

-… and..-
‘*AUUGH*… at least I couldn’t do that during work, that would have been a mess…!’

-… and hello, 29th Great-Granddaughter-3…!...-

-… and hello, 29th Great-Granddaughter-4…!...-

-… and then good bye you two, see you in 3 days while…-

-… we go on VA-CA-SHUUN!... –

-… of course, that means, that we need to call… -
‘Good day, be you all blessed by the love of the potty god…!...now where’s your bathroom…?’
‘Wait, Is that old coot for real?! Oh no…!’

‘… Okay, listen: no religious crap in this house – or real crap either, ‘cause we don’t have a bathroom …’
‘AAGH! INFIDEL! May you be crapped on by a thousand…!’
- *censored for the sake of preserving own sanity*… let’s move on… -

-… and we’re going to Twikki Island this time… and yes, Finn and Paige were invited too, just as was daddy Virgil in the
hopes that he’ll lose some pounds in the process…! Also, the dreaded Hair Revert Back-Problem persists…-

-… and since nobody had a treasure map ready, we first had to dug a bit around the hotel, till we found one…-

‘HEY! How about you fill up your own holes?!’
- Sorry, we’re on vacation… oh, and there is no ‘thrown out of the hotel’ mechanic in the game…! –
‘And why do I have to do it??!’
-… I had included a fix, that makes the maid do handy stuff around the house... Probably came from paladinswardrobe.com ,
now defunct… I could have chosen the bellboy instead, but hey, your maid mechanic is so borked, you can do it…but enough
of that…-

-… lets go help the witch doctor get his stuff fixed, get a doll…-
‘Great – Moar Magic…!’
‘… why do I need to take the cursed voodoo doll, serva friend?’
‘Because Magic, duh!’
‘We need to have some serious talk about the whole magic thing as an excuse for everything…’
‘Nope! Magic! Problem solved!’
‘… glad we had this talk… *sigh*…’

-… then learn a bit of dancing… of course not the Twikii Island dance, that would make sense, but all the other ones…-

-… and after that, a lot of other stuff was done, like visiting the pirate ship, where we toroughly searched the captains’
cabine … -

-… to find lots of stuff… so a log book, an encased dubloon and a treasure map template that leads nowhere… wow, that is
the first time I actually found all this stuff…-

-… oh, and we eventually found the captain too…-
‘… and so now he has completely derailed from the challenge and is padding this out till kingdom come?’
‘Yeah, and he’s even using this very conversation to make this zany or whatever he thinks it is… wait…’

-… okay, admittedly, this part is really most of the time just the same old stuff done again because it feels like a lifetime
since I did it last… and admittedly, it helps me to come up with a few new things…-

-… like getting Plantsims not only into new everyday clothes but also into the Female Plantsim Underwear & Swimwear and
Male Plantsim Underwear and Swimwear , both by KittyLynn74…-

-… oh, and it also makes me (re?)discover a few things, like Sims being able to jump into the pool right from the edge during
marco polo….-

-… aside from that though, it’s just the old routine, like sightseeing…-

-… tasting the local cuisine…-

-… getting relaxing massages…-

-… learning more local dances…-

-… build a burg…-
‘Is this leading somewhere?’
-… to the end of the vacation? –
‘… stupid questions get stupid answers, right?’
-… wanna make out? –
‘WHAT?!’
-… with your uncle, I mean… wait, that still sounds…!... whatever…-

-… and so…-
‘…Great, and who has to clean up the mess later?!’
-… we already established the correlation between stupid things said…-

-…Anyway, we also add one more thing to our outfit collection, by getting Willowmuse by Salix Tree at parsimonious.org as
formal clothing…-

-… and after that…. Yeah, not much happened, so time to go home…-

-… of course, it was a great vacation…-
‘… why do I even bother to open my mouth to that false true statement…?’
-… magic? –
‘*groan*…’
-… hehe, yeah, I can do that too…-

-… anyway, all that vacationing demands… MOAR VA-CA-SHUNN..! –
‘… you don’t need to yell, we’re on the same planet…sooo… what hotel this time…?’
- Hotels? Nah, they’re overrated… -

-… a vacation home is the place to go! –
‘… again Twikki Island? How many Magic Voodoo Dolls…?’
- … just buy the Brickstone Chateau…

-… and the tiny tropical beach shack, made by MystAngel-
‘… wait, we’re doing what now…?’

-… and then the Tiny tropical jungle hut, also by MystAngel…-
‘HOLD IT! Why are you suddenly placing all these mini residential turned vacation lots?!’
-… oh, I just love mini lots…-

-… which is why I decided to add all of them, like in Takemizu Village, the Tiny Pagodaby MystAngel…-

-… and the Tiny Takemizu House by MystAngel…-
‘… wait, isn’t that the chine…?’
- SSSSSSSh! Only Simlish names…! -

-… and at Three Lakes, we buy the Tiny mountains cabin by MystAngel…-

-… which is, where we will spend our next vacation…-

-… as soon as we’ll find the treasure map for Three Lakes, that is…-
‘I found a treasure chest – does that count?’
-… you seriously need to ask?…-
‘*groan*’

-… finally!…-
‘.. *sigh*… Bigfoot?’
-…-
‘How about for once, we do a vacation without the same stuff over and over? Wouldn’t that be new and interesting?’
-… -
‘… yeah, that sounds admittedly stupid, if we don’t do that…Bigfoot it is…!’

‘… and that’s how we ended up here… soo.. Are you with the Bigfoot villains with their bajillions Simoleons or…?’
‘What… are you talking about?’
‘… okay, magical creature, got it…’
‘… is there something I missed?’
‘Except that we explain everything away by magic this episode, not much… just a bunch of nonsensical episodes… so, are
you now going to move in or…?’
‘… do I have a choice?... Don’t answer that….’

‘... So yeah, I do…’
‘Great – see ya!...’
‘… was there any reason to leave this picture in? Nobody got character development, nothing special happened… what’s the
point?’
-… magic? –
‘… you are abusing your ‘magic’ thing, you know that?’
- Magic! –
- ‘*Groan* I need to pack… where’s my tooth brush….?’

-… and after that, we do what is usually done on vacation, eating yummy pancakes…-
‘Aren’t you going to change your hair at some point?’
‘What is the point? It is going to change anyway every time we switch lots…just say we’re magically cursed for now…’
‘point taken…’

-…do relaxing massages…-
‘You mean ‘learn’ relaxing massages… and don’t you dare say ‘magic’…!... So much for vaca-shun…’
-… give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day, teach him… -
‘I don’t care! Just ‘magic’ the fish to me…!... I mean the massage, I mean… oh forget it…!’

-… make lovely bouquets…-
‘… and another hundred magic snapdragons for another hundred magic gold venues for another hundred useless customer
magic stars…’
-… okay, okay, we can stop with the magic for now… –

-… why don’t we instead… uhm, paint a picture, bout how it’s gonna be…?-
‘… one magically appearing picture coming right up…!’
-… -

-… or do some log rolling…-
‘Now watch me make my cousin magically disappear…!’
‘AAH! – Not fun… !’ *SPLASH*
-… exactly my sentiment…-

‘:.. And after making the picture magically appear, now watch me make it magically disappear…’
- WILL WRIGHT! MAGICALLY FORCE HIM TO STOP! –
*Picture gives the evil eye*- *no seriously, look at the big eye and don’t tell me that’s not an evil one…*
‘*EEEK* - I’ll BE GOOD…!’

-… and with the magic issue finally resolved…-
‘Aww, that date was…’
-… if you say ‘magical’ I swear I’m going to…! –
‘…a dream?’
-… proceed…-

-…anyway, vacation’s over, time to go back and…-

-… go on another va-ca-shun…! –
‘Ugh… another one…? What is the point? This isn’t even padding anymore, this is…!’
‘Uhm… I’ve never been on a vacation before, so it is kinda exciting…’
‘… you are sooo going to regret this, man… I mean Bigfoot…’

-…and so, of course we finish our vaca-shun-athon with Takemizu…-

-… inviting some of our good customer-family-friends over and… wait… … sooo… if you are not a playable Plantsim, than
your hair does not revert back… interesting…-
‘That is the only reason why we were invited, right? Right??!’
- No, of course not! How should I have known that this happens?? No, you’re just here for eye candy… ;-) –
‘Aaah… how quiet and peaceful everything is around here…Yep, Quiet. And. Peaceful.’
- Very good – by the way, I gave you the treasure map, Mr. Bigfoot, sooo… -
‘*Groan*’

‘*Sigh* why didn’t I go to business school instead of doing this Gig…’
- Because you would have to shave every day then…? –
‘Oh, shut up…!’
‘Ommmmm…greetingsmywollyfriendwhatbringsyouheresofarfromyourmysteriouswoods…?...Ommmm….’
‘… magic? Sorry, but everything has been explained away by magic this chapter so far, so why change it now….?’
‘Ommm… ifyoudonttakethisseriouslyilljustteleportaway…Ommmm’
‘Okay, okay… let me just brew a cup of tea, I need one too…’

‘So – you are telling me, Bigfoot-san..?’
‘Could you please leave out any –san, -chan or kawai references? No one of us speaks Japanese, or Chinese or Simlese or
whatever anyway….’
‘… point is, you think this chapter is a waste of time?’
‘Do you know how long it takes him to finish this…?....even the pandemic seems to be over by the time it’s published…’
‘… most paths we take in life are long and troublesome, sometimes the clouds can cover the sun for days, but the sun will
surely shine again… well, except if the sun goes nova and swallows us all…’
‘… that was… surprisingly unexpected… okay, got it, so it’s a dry season for him, it’ll pass…thanks…’

‘Ommm…yesiguessillunderstandnowallthechaptersareconnectedinawaynotyetfullyunderstoodbymeorevenyoubutarestill-
onewiththeuniverse….Ommm…’
-… what? Sorry, you really need to speak in a less cohesive way, I didn’t understand a single word…-
‘Ommmm…magicmagicmagicmagicmagic… Ommmm’
-… that I understood… I think…-

‘… yes, your hairy friend over there understood the deeper meaning of it all..’
‘… what, that this chapter is even more padding after months of writers block…?’
‘… I didn’t put it to him like that….’
‘So you told him some ‘one with the universe’ stuff, got it…’
‘I see, you would have preferred ‘magic’ instead…’
‘…’
‘…Very well, I see, that everyone is unhappy with how this chapter progressed, the author included… so instead, let me tell
you a good story now….’

‘… and they lived happily ever after. The End.’
‘Wow – that was a nice and captivating story… and very well told and structured…’
‘… and I only told you about it in the gap between this and the last slide…’
‘… meaning?’
‘… well, it means, that you yourself just invented a good story, while the author didn’t do anything…’
‘… and was has that to do with *this* story that was NOT written in a gap and therefore has to do with something??’
‘*Sigh* if you think a story is not good, use it as incentive to be creative yourself… or just say ‘Magic’, if you need a simple
solution….now go away…!’

-… and with the great wisdom from the old wise man imbued, it’s time to get home and pass out, because the pagoda
doesn’t have any greenhouse lights…-
‘You know *huff* that was pretty low, even for you… Blaming the reader? Seriously? *huff*’
-… I didn’t mean it like that, more an incentive to develop your own great story from reading a crappy one…-
‘Well, if it’s *huff* crap they need for that, you’re doing a great job to… *faint*’
-… yeah, probably deserved that…-

-… okay, so in order to raise anyone’s spirit – and sunlight motive – I gave them a greenhouse lights and something to do…-
‘… snapdragons again? You forgot to put them in our inventory, right?’
-… just go make the damn things…--

-… and.. OH! Ohoh! Ladies and gents, we have a green one…-
‘..sorry, I’m still suffering from the light depravation…’
- Oh, don’t worry! A green one is quite an occasion at this point, I just had to snap a photo of it… hm…-
‘… if you even dare to consider a snapdragon torture chamber to be built… Forget. It!’
-… a snapdragon torture chamber… hmmm…-
‘NO!’
-… okay, okay, no torture chamber… for now… lets instead do another torturous task instead…-

-… solving the ninjas riddle instead…lets start with Rey…-
‘wrong!’
‘… do you want me to complain to the tourist union…?’
‘…sorry, that ship.. I mean episode… has sailed several chapters ago, and if I recall correctly, I killed all the unionists…!’
‘*Gulp*’
‘… whatever, better luck next time…*Poof*’
-…right, the chapter with Charlie and his angels… now that was fun back then… *nostalgic*…-

‘… *rake*… you really know how to make someone feel appreciated, by drawing up nostalgic moments of better episodes…’
- .. Well, excuse me for feeling a bit bummed out at the moment, as you have nothing interesting to contribute…-
‘*rake*rake*RAKE**RAKE* RAAKEEE*…!’
-… that is quite an impressive threatening raking…. But how about you use that energy to take another rake… I mean, stab,
at the ninjas riddle again…? -

‘… *shows ninja deformed rake from angry raking*…’
‘… eeh…excellent answer! I’m gonna teach you how to teleport now… after you put that thing away… *shudder*…’

-… 1 down, 5 to go…. Helen’s next…-
‘Wrong! *Poof*’
‘… dang it, I knew should have chosen ‘rake’ over ‘courage…’

‘…the ninja or the sword?’
‘… uhm, it’s sword, isn’t it? Sword’ is Simlese for ‘rake’, right? Right?!’
‘… right… here’s the first rule of teleportation: keep the rake away from the ninja!...’

-… and after that, it’s Ernest’s turn…-
‘Correct. A true ninja does not just trust his mind, but his…’
‘… oh,oh, just to clarify: you meant ‘rake’ when you said ‘heart’, right?’
‘OH FOR… enough with the stupid rakes! *poof*’

-… next is Alfons…-
‘… rake? Magic? Magic rake? Or…?’
‘… at this point I would most likely commit mass murdering like I did with the tourist union back then… but then I’d need to
kill any gardener on this planet, so lets just pretend that the answer is correct, got it?!...’

-… then Serva I-1…-
‘Magic!’
‘Sorry, but that’s not the right answer…’
‘Magic is always the right answer! Oh, and I can magically teleport anyway, so your ninja teleport isn’t that impressive…’
‘…I’m not getting tricked into revealing…!’
‘Okay, okay, so I’ll try raking my brain about this…’ -*§$%$§ made a typo…*-
‘raking my…?.!.. Here, Teleport! GO! *Poof* -uhm, it was a typo, not a pun on.. Oh well…-

-… and finally Servo I-1…-
‘Here! Go!’
‘But you didn’t even tell me the riddle…!’
‘I don’t care! I’m sick of it!’
‘… you sound stressed, you should relax a little… how about a sip of tea, a nice massage, raking the Zen garden or…?’
‘AAAAAAARGGH! *Poof*’

‘… and then he just teleported away… what’s this guys’ problem?’
‘Beats me.. No need to… rack your head around it… huh, that sounded odd…?’
-… not making another typo… besides, the best part of this va-ca-shun is over now, so lets fill up the rest of our time by
playing mahjong…-

-… buying clothes and souvenirs…-

-… teaching Alfons business tricks…-
‘Wait, what? That hasn’t anything to do with… with… on the other hand, this is exactly what you always do to us Sims on a
vacation….*sigh* ’

-… and with some unforgettable – or dare I say , magical - memories, it’s now time to go home…-
‘Unforgettable is right… I wish, I could forget this…’

-… and with that, it’s finally time to call it an episode and…-
‘Um… you know, all this va-ca-shuning has been fun and stuff, but… I’m starting to miss my mountains… Hey, Mrs. Serva, any
chance you could… magically sweep me away back to Three Lakes?’
‘… well, if you want mountains, we can do something about that…!’

‘… after all, there are enough mountains in Bluewinter Range…’
‘Meh…. Close enough…’
-… plus, we DO still need to get that pet Shop up to level 10, so good thinking, Serva I-1…-

-… so lets sell some critters to… oh, hi Melissa… how’s Marlene doing? –
‘… it’s okay, considering that you haven’t visited Club V in a while, and we don't really have a life in townie limbo…’
-… hm…-
‘Oh come on, this chapter is already too long! Stop dragging this out! How long are you sitting on this chapter by now?! A
Year?!!’
-… I do have a life outside this game, and with the virus… but okay, no club V, instead…-

-… moar plantsim styling!...-
‘… this won’t mess with my head, right? I’d like to keep my personality straight…!’
‘We have personality?’
‘… point… okay, just hit meeeehehe…’

’Oh... I suddenly feel one with the universe, kumbaya, peace and flowers….’
- Now that is a nice combo: 4th Great-Granddaughter-1 aka Anna Lee sports the wildflower crowns by hat-plays-sims,
Symbioticleaves clothing by salixtree at parsimonious.org & rented space’s Conversion of Anto‘s Sims 4 Kiss hair with
recolors applied by summerglau…. Isn’t it nice, what amazing creations the cooperative spirit of sims2 players can
create…?-
‘…peace… flowers… flowers… peace…’
-… wish I could be as creative…never mind…-

-… lets instead go on with the art project…-
‘… you’re not going to be philosophical about it this time?’
-… what? –
‘… understood, it took you so long to get here that you don’t even remember what you wrote 100+ slides ago…’
-… okay, point taken…-

-… back to Plantsims then…-

-… and this time it’s 12th Great-Granddaughter-1 aka Lillian, getting maxis glasses with the Neon Recolour of Peggy's
"Bobtails" by PeachT/Yreenah…-

-…And the Creepingwilderness clothes by salixtree at parsimonious.org … hmm, not bad, kinda hipster…-

-… and just after that, it’s Lillians’ sister 12-Great-granddaughter-2 aka Brownie, featuring once again hair by Skell…-

-… and a cute …christmasy dress(?), the Partridgeinapeartree, again by salixtree at parsimonious.org …-

-… and we’re following this up with a makeover involving 13th Great-Grandson-1 aka Tim (the Enchanter…)….-
‘I’d like a goatee and a cap with horns…!’
‘… seriously?’
‘If I’m supposed to go monty python, might as well go all in..’
‘… you have my respect and my sympathy, uncle…’

‘… okay, we were fresh out of horns, but the beard and eyebrows by Skell…’
- yeah… this doesn’t look at all like… -
‘Well, you decided to introduce monty python into this…. Let me guess, you had no idea that this was uncle Tim until after
the picture, right? And then you had no idea what to write, right? Right?!’
-… nevermind…-
‘does anybody want my opinion on that? I like it!’
-… nobody wants your opion, Not-Tim (the enchanter), go away…-

-… lets focus instead on more interesting things *cough atleastforme*cough*… like we made it to level 10 here too…!...-
‘So can we finally go home now??’
-… hmmmmm…-
‘Oh for…!..okay, I’ll get the scissors…free makeover for Plantsims, who wants one?’
‘Oooh, me, me!’
‘… et tu, auntie…ehr…what was your name again…?’

’6th Great-Granddaughter-3, but you can call me Gidget…’
‘… which the writer didn’t know at that time, so your makeover will be something entirely different from a surfer girl… ‘
-…Okay, okay… I really should have looked that up… unfortunately I also forgot to take a picture of 6th Great-granddaughter-
3’s pre-makeover looks… oh well, you’ve see one Plantsim of the umpteenth generation, you’ve seen them all… now, Gidget
features a hair style called HallowSims Storm 4t2 by MrsM'Quve, with some green maxis makeup…-

… and then we added a flower bracelet also from HallowSims Storm 4t2 by MrsM'Quve, and finished with some Uni
Clothing…-
‘…No surfer attire, alright… I actually look more like a Punk, or a hard rock fan or…’
-… *COUGH* before anyone realizes, that I have no idea what I’m writing here, please just shut up, we have another
makeover waiting anyway…-

-… oh wait, apparently we’re already done …beard and eyebows by Skell… and some makeup I don’t remember anymore..
All credits to the creators, of course… uhm, who were you again?...-
‘… I’m Richard…’
-…. Real name please…-
‘*sigh*… 4th Greatgrandson-2….’
-… Listen, all these makeovers will hopefully help to flesh you out a bit, so I can actually distinguish you a little…-

-… I mean it’s a pain in the behind sometimes, to figure out who is who, even if you scroll over them to see their
designation… like Serva S-4 here… alright. I know a little about her… uhm…-
‘My servofriend is the mayor!’
-… oh right… the bad guy, it dawns on me… all politicians are evil….-
‘… and we’re thinking about getting a baby!’
-… seriously, I wrote that? Oh well…-

-… lets go back to the makeovers…-
‘You really jump around a lot with this, do you?’
- Oh shut up…ehrm…3rd Great-granddaughter-1!...-
‘I’m Zoe!’
-… I know, it was on the tip of my tongue… anyway…-

-… and here we see Zoe aka 3rd Great-Granddaughter-1 sporting once again the flower bracelet by xenoriarose, hair by Skell
and Outfit by… …. by…. –
‘… well?’
-… A-HA! FOOUND IT… seriously, rediscovering this took quite a while, but it’s the seasons’ clothing green and black outfit
by MaxoidMoonbelly from the long-defunct exchange, reuploaded at Miss Maxoid’s I miss maxoidmonkey… -
‘… you must feel so good about yourself right now, right?’
-.. If I say yes, will you groan and leave me alone…? –
*leaves without a word*

‘*Ommmthatwaskindofmeanofyouommmm…*’
-…did you just meditate through all these makeover sessions and business-raising? –
‘*OmmmwhynotIminthemountainsagainandyouhavenothingnewtoaddtomycharacteranywayOmmm…*’
-… oh, shut up and continue playing Buddha or whatever… anyway, remember all these vacation homes we visited… ehrm..
this chapter? –
‘*Ommmmyeahthatreallyfeelslikeaneterityagoommmm*…’
-… true… anyway, I think it would be nice to spread them around a little…-

-… so lets sell them off to Finn, so he can sell them, shall we? –
‘Can’t we just magic them to him? Just this once? Because this sorry excuse of a picture show has gone on for sooo long…’
- … isn’t selling them a bit like magic? Making the deeds disappear? –
‘*groan*’
-… okay, okay, lets not focus so much on the selling, we can try a bit story for once…-
‘…I’m afraid to ask what you mean by that…’
-… how about this…-

‘ … are these for sale? Ooh, I would like a cozy mountain cabin or a dreamy beach hut - My servofriend and I are planning
our honeymoon, and we want to have some nice pictures later for our kids to remember…! ’
‘… wow, that’s… interesting… you do realize you’re a servo, right?’
‘Semantics, my servofriend will figure out a way… legally banning childlessness perhaps or so… ‘
‘… okay, this ridiculous story angle is probably… well, a story angle… sooo, how long are you going to milk this?’
-… oh, at least until we hand Finn all the deeds…-

-… so round about now…-
‘… sorry, we’re already sold out…’
‘Awww… shame…’
‘… besides, before kids, shouldn’t you rather worry about stuff like getting the wedding planned and the bachelorette stuff
and…?’
‘Well, duh – this is Sims 2, wedding parties take 6 minutes , you exchange rings and in the meantime play red hand and tell
jokes….!’
‘…point… well, as a consolation, we can do red hands then for the wedding thing…’

‘... Or kicky bag or… wait, the deeds are already gone, why are still doing these… distraction pics?’
-… oh, just for me to cram in a few more makeovers…-

-… like 14th Great-Grandson-2’s aka Ichabods new hair, stubbles and brows by Skell…

-… and another bit of art…-
‘Wait, I do? I don’t see it….’
-… admittedly, it blends quite in, especial under these daylight conditions, but it is there, believe me…-

-... And finally, Ichabod gets a new outfit called Spacejuggler by salixtree at parsimonious.org…-

-… annd there we have it, business finished, lets recharge and jug up and ..-
‘*Ommmfinallyimtiredofmountainsletsgohomeand…*’
-… wait – did you already got your special skills?...-
‘*OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*…!!!’

-… so Alfons just mastered his skills…-
‘*brr*… can’t I do this inside? It’s so cold here…!’
-… you had no problem meditating for weeks outside… and you of all people… bigfeet people… have a fur…! –
‘… Then I guess, It’s the inner cold of this challenge… feels like were living in the rotten corpse of a story…’
-… oh shut up…-

-… and admittedly, its about time to go home…-

-… and slowly meditate into winter…-

-… btw, that’s a nice first stuffing, the island deco is good for slowing down the bladder decrease… too bad, none of you
minus Alfons actually does have a bladder motive…-
‘*Ommmmarentyouforgettingthemostimportantthingommmmmm*?…’
-… hm? Oh yeah, unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the potty god fanatic nanny leaving, pity… -
‘*OMMMNonotthatoneommm*…’

‘…*ommmthatoneommm*!’
-… oooh, right – totally forgot, we had kids in our home..! So say hello to… -

-…. 29th Great-Granddaughter-3…-

-… and 29th Great-Granddaughter-4!... -

-… and since there is still time left, we’re gonna teach them a bit… also I just realized we need to put the beach shelf away,
we needs lots of potty going….-
‘ALL HAIL THE POTTY GOD!’
-… oh go away, crazy nanny, no picture for you….-

-… hmm, still time left till winter… annd we just got ourselves another chance for moar business districts…-
‘Why do these things always pop up? And on the last day no less!... ’
-.. Please, no quarrel, I promise, it’ll soon be over… just take all a job in business…-

-… then teach the kids how to walk…-

-… and then send them to bed… annnd, its finally a wrap…!!! –

-… and with that, one of the longest chapter of Instant City – BaMC Challenge comes to an end… both in slides and real
time… quite frankly, I lost interest in the Sims for quite a while and went on hiatus somewhere in the middle…. But hey, I’m
sure you do understand – yes, I mean you specifically – no one else reads this, so I can address you as well directly….! –
‘SHUT UP AND END THIS ALREADY!’
- Okay, okay, so while my big hope for a bit more plot from last time was crushed, the beautification of the neighborhood
was actually quite fun – all the different looking plantsims might actually hel flashing out this city a bit more now…-
‘yeah, right…’
- Anyway, thanks and see you hopefully again soon in another episode of Instant City – A BaMC Challenge – Happy Simming!
