Erickson-Ynn Big Dreams - Previously ...

[Deklitch]

Previously ...

You used to know me as Bea Bagel. But I died

I am not picking up a wrench or screwdriver again.

I am trying again though. Watcher told me I am trying again, so here goes, Evel Ynn signing in.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
The sims think this is good for their body, and it is, little do they know it is how I report my progress back to you. No one else knows my secret, not even Adam (well, he might know, but he hasn't asked me if I'm an alien or not).

Who is Adam?
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Him! He takes this thing he calls fitness and gyms too seriously! But he is good to look at!

We have also had a lot of fun while in bed.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I was tested after being in bed. I didn't pass the test, because we tried again. I failed again, apparently.

Then we went into the shower and tried again.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
The test said I was a success that time! Was it the water? The steam? I don't know, but I've been told I'm now 'eating for two'.

We went out about the place we are living. Adam told me it is Mt Komorebi. I want to go and see all the sights I can see here and elsewhere around this world! It is all so much fun! There is even a creature here that is dressed all in green. Adam got a picture with it, and so did I! Apparently it is called a Mascot. It's skin tickled me.

Adam said he completed something called an aspiration. He said he's become a body builder and that made him connected amongst sports people.
He encouraged me to also become connected. He said I'd have to become a journalist.
I wonder if that means I'll get to go into the local rivers.
Apparently, Sims swim in it ... I walked instead.

Anyway, that's it for me, signing out for now.

Ooh - er - bit of a change of direction. I was quite fond of Bea! And Bagels!
Good luck with Adam and the nooboo(s)

[oshizu]

Good luck with your restart.  Definitely a bit easier with starting out with 6 top-notch toddlers.

Also, there was a formatting mistake in the World Traveler's Other requirements, which has since been corrected in the master spreadsheet.
There are only three "Other" requirements, so Evel Ynn only needs to complete one (not two) of the seven possible collections.
If you're not sure what I mean, please check the master spreadsheet linked from the first post in the BDD challenge thread.

[Deklitch]

Thank you Oshizu and Granny Lawlor.

Thanks for the advice re World Traveller's other requirements. I have adjusted my post now.

Evel and Adam are very fertile ... with neither having purchased the fertility trait, they had triplets! - three girls

[oshizu]

I confess that I'm quite jealous!  My Yumenos haven't had any triplets yet, not for the lack of my doing everything possible, haha.
Wow, triplets with the Fertile trait or the On the Ley Line lot trait.
I guess the game just wants you to have a large 2nd generation. *winks

Cute Toddlers - wow - 3 at a time!

[oshizu]

What handsome founders and adorable toddlers.
I didn't realize until I saw the toddlers that Adam wasn't an alien.

[Deklitch]

Cute Toddlers - wow - 3 at a time!

Triplets was the last thing I was expecting! I had given Mote Fertility and on a ley line was a lot trait - best Mote and Bea could do were twins.

I realised during the Adam and Evel pregnancy that I didn't have on a ley line selected. So I selected it and neither had fertility, a fertility massage, music, nothing. I was thinking hope I get twins ... and triplets came!

And yes, they are cute. They are independent, angelic and inquisitive in some order (that I've forgotten).

What handsome founders and adorable toddlers.
I didn't realize until I saw the toddlers that Adam wasn't an alien.

Yeah, I just decided to give him green hair and pale skin. He has already been up to 'meet the inlaws' where he was told to "treat Evel like the goddess she is".

[Deklitch]

Evel the Goddess

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
This is Evel signing in again. Houston* we have a problem.

Houston - what is the problem, child?

Evel - my husband, Adam knows I'm different. someone saw me walking in the water, and they asked him why I didn't swim. He saw me here, and heard me talking and tried to mentor me for his career. He doesn't know this is how I contact you. Apparently he needs to mentor sims for his career. He saw me talking and misunderstood. He thought I was talking to myself and thinks I'm crazy.

Houston - want me to talk to him? Have him use the device and I'll talk to him.

Evel - ok, if you insist!

Evel - Adam, my dad wants to talk to you!

Adam - He does? Where is he?

Evel - Away from here! You know how I said he lives elsewhere?

Adam - yeah, its Al Simhara, isn't it? His ancestors built their pyramids?

Evel - no, not exactly, but there is a way to communicate with him. Use this machine here

Adam - the weights machine?

Evel - Yes, get a sweat up and expect the unexpected.

Adam - ok *sits and starts pumping iron*
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Houston - is that the husband of Evelynn, my daughter?

Adam - stops pumping, looks in surprise Yes ... who is this?

Houston - her father, Houston, you dolt! I need you to ..

Adam screams and tries to run ... but ...

and ...
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
and ...
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Houston arrives to have a chat with the man who married his little girl ... without sending an invite to her parents or siblings - how rude

Adam on return, gets back on the weights machine.
Adam - Yes Sir, I will treat her well.

Houston - Well? What do you mean, well?

Adam - *gulps Like a Goddess, Sir, I will treat Evel as the Goddess that she is.

Houston - Very good. Now, about my grandchildren?

Adam - we had three little girls, Sir. Deborah, Sarah and Martha. They are all cute and very active. They have all been taught to potty by me.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Adam - though Martha would rather teach herself, she is independent that one.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Adam - Deborah is angelic - just like Evel - in nature, nothing is too much trouble for her. She particularly loves the ball pit,
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

making friends with her sisters,
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

and playing in the play tent.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
She has a lot of imagination and regularly watches Evel write and publish books.

Adam - Sarah likes us nice and close to her and she loves tumbling.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

It is clear that her family ties are quite strong.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Houston - and what about my daughter?

Adam - Evel went to one of the local festivals. While she was there, she started developing a taste for spicy food and was learning to use chopsticks. She is also level 9 writing, which she needs for her career and her big dream of becoming a world traveller. She hopes to include a trip to a nearby camp site - name of Granite Falls. We want to wait for the girls to get a bit bigger so that they can enjoy and remember the trip. She is also super friendly to everyone and has been told she is always welcome to visit.

Houston - and yourself?

Adam - I got a promotion at work and I've gone into body building and personal training. I'm wanting others to enjoy exercise as much as I do, Sir.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Houston - very good, now are the girls getting any screen time? Or are they all outside pottying and playing and so forth? Screen time is important for them too! How else will they get to learn of their rich history?

Adam - oh yes, Sir. Evel insisted on them getting a wabbit tablet each. Here they are using them, under Evel's watchful eye.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Houston - Very good to hear. Houston out, I hope we meet again, young man.

Adam - signing out until next time
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Can you work out the toddlers' big dreams? The ones for Deborah and Sarah should be rather easy to pick up ... and I gave an oblique reference to Martha's as well.

Sarah's BD could be Family Ties, Deborah's might be Author, and what about Life-Long Learner for Martha?
I hope Adam returned pregnant from visiting the in-laws...

[Deklitch]

correct for Sarah and Deborah and almost right for Martha ... if cars and taxis were a thing in Sims 4, Martha could well become the driver of a particualr brand of taxis which also have started food delivery as well

[Deklitch]

We have been caught up in the Australian floods. We are not flooded but we are without power. So story on hold til power back.
