6.03 – It Was All Yellow

Another update so soon? Uni is almost over for the semester, and I have to procrastinate studying… so sims! 🙂

Last time, Velma befriended all the spouse options, and had a sleep over with 406. She also graduated, while the four teens various skilled and were taught to drive.

It’s Snowflake Day!

Velma wanted to hold a Gift Giving Party, but apparently the game thinks there is not enough room here… so we’re having a regular party instead.

But first, some responses to her love letters!

Julia is engaged!

The guests have arrived.

I want to play with the celebrity system some more, so I invited Lola Belle, who I know is a celebrity. I was surprised when Velma didn’t have to try to impress her… until I realised that there are no celebrities in town. I guess moving the family into town with celebrities off killed all the stars. Had to us MC to put them back, we can’t have Bridgeport without celebs!

406 left the house, went home to move out, then came back to the party… I didn’t realise living with Eskarina was that bad.

Apparently Sean is really boring/funny, because a bunch of people yawned and/or laughed at her during the party.

Charlotte chose to ignore everyone and take over Velma’s sculpting station.

I had Velma use the Scan Room interaction available with the woohooer mod. Apparently she’s not attracted to anyone except Rad (whom she heartfarted). *sigh*
Maybe she doesn’t need to marry her spouse, we’ll just choose the spouse to donate their genes to the Rourke line.

Since we couldn’t do the gift giving, I went to the standard party backup; dancing! Everyone got in on the action, so have some spam:

As always, Sean stole the show with her dance moves, though for once she wasn’t the last one on the dancefloor. That trophy went to Alyssa this time.

Charlotte stayed long enough to finish her sculpture.

And Velma’s party was killer.

Billy and Roxie continued the socialising in the bathroom.

And soon made it to BFFs.

After the party, Velma invited Story out to The Grind. And wanted to impress a 3-star celeb on the way. Unfortunately, they got off to a bad start when his Hatred of Art clashed with her Savvy Sculptor trait.

But boasting about wealth works very well!

I’m probably going to regret this eventually, but for now Velma is a 1-star celeb.

Apparently Story didn’t have enough dancing at the party; Velma interrupted her club dance to flirt….about clowns?

It goes down well, though.

And we have our first romantic wish for Story.

Once again, I somehow lost a bunch of photos taken in-game, so only have the popups left.

Julia got married, and Sabrina’s daughter Kiana is pregnant.

We also got a response back from the other two love letters Velma sent; Eskarina is still being very difficult.

And Kelly rolled this incredibly aww-inducing wish. Poor little Shy Kelly. I’ll do my best to make this happen for her.

Flynn does still live here, she’s just always reading or playing chess, as her little Genius Bookworm heart desires.

Brillo’s career is going very slowly, she’s still only about L4. And now she’s in the clink, awesome.

Hai Bruce! It’s rare that the ghosts come into the house, there is so much stuff to do in the yard, they usually get distracted.

Wow, it’s been a while since anything was broken. Someone is going to need handiness skill for when Cosette dies 😦

Seaweed is remarkably fit and active for an octogenarian.

Lols, Eskarina is almost as nuts as Velma.

She’s here for a date!

And Velma’s first romantic wish for Eskarina is for a great date.

First kiss!

And then they roast some marshmallows.

And cuddle on a park bench.

I haven’t seen this opportunity before, go Roxie!

Poor Velma was starving, so we took the opportunity to play with the food truck.

Julia had a baby girl!

Lol, these two are so strange; this is how Eskarina chose to sit with Velma.

Aw really, how was that a bad date? They spent hours socialising!

Seaweed has his first celeb opportunity! I’m excited about playing with this aspect of the game, haven’t really used it before.

An ice chess board! I’ll have to get Velma to carve another one when she gets her ice sculptures to non-melting.

Meeting Matthew Hamming…both boys are flirty!

It’s easy for Seaweed to impress celebs, he has so much money and many maxed skills.

Lol, Hamming makes great faces.

And just befriending him gives Seaweed two celeb stars!

Alyssa has finally been pinned down for a date, the last of the potential spouses. She makes brilliant faces.

In the middle of flirting with Alyssa, Velma rolled up this wish. I guess she has a thing for Story.

HOTM kiss…

Accepted!

Now for some autonomous romance.

I left these two alone and went to check on things at home. Cosette and Flynn continue their friendship over a game of chess, while Roxie continues skilling piano.

…apparently Velma is in the way to the elevator? They both had “woohoo” in their queue, but route failed.

But it was still a good date.

And now Velma is wishing things for Alyssa too.

 

So we come the vote for Velma’s spouse! Poll is here.
