I love to make my sims read heads too - this is one thing we could use a patch for ![Wink ;)](https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
We certainly could. (Rather than two largely useless patches in two weeks, you mean?

Brave DecisionsChloe lay in the bath, thinking.

Now that her mother was gone and she’d soon be moving out of the family home, what should she do with her life? Most important, did she want to stay a PlantSim? It wasn’t as though she was all plant. Sometimes, like now, her hair looked more like normal hair than leaves – and she still seemed to need food, even though PlantSims shouldn’t, from what she’d read.

Rob had left her a few doses of the same cure he’d used on Laura that time “in case you want to turn human”. Even though she’d been a PlantSim from birth, he seemed convinced that it would work on her, too. So, what did she want? To carry on as she was or become a normal human? There were no more Forbidden Fruit seeds, so there was no way back. What should she do?
At last she made up her mind, dried herself off and went out into the garden. She wanted to be among plants when it happened. She took out the bottle, lifted it up and poured it over her head.
Mother, I miss you! I hope I’m not making a huge mistake here.![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZKAS4s-1S3w/UuPsCtaT0xI/AAAAAAAAAcM/Nfb6kfspB2Y/w800-h600-no/100.Transformation.jpg)
For a moment nothing happened. Then she was engulfed by a blinding green light.

Laura happened to walk out into the garden at that moment.

“Clo, what are you doing?”
“Super Spice. Like you used, remember?”
“But what’s that green glow? I remember a golden light… Oh, like that, in fact. Good luck!”
And with that she went into the house to play video games. And as for Chloe…

…she ended up looking a lot like India – only with normal skin, green eyebrows and yellow eyes. She took herself off to the mirror and dresser to sort out a new look.

Later that day, over at the Coliseum, India finally reached the top of her career. It had taken a little longer than she’d expected to get her final promotion: for a few days it had felt as though she was making no progress at all. But now everything was OK. She’d finished her tasks.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-SolJuSLmr7w/UuPsJSpmesI/AAAAAAAAAc0/zg0VntfXisA/w800-h600-no/105.Sports_legend.jpg)
She arrived home to find Laura on the phone, checking up with the estate agent.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-tSlY1D7azNQ/UuPsKIbty3I/AAAAAAAAAc8/kHE5kSkh3do/w800-h485-no/106.Preparing_to_go.jpg)
Yes, their new house was ready. Suddenly, everything was happening too fast. Watched (of course) by the paparazzi, India hugged her twin…
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-s5ppAiqGzx8/UuPsLwIiwYI/AAAAAAAAAdE/PoNJ31-dKNA/w800-h600-no/107.Saying_goodbye.jpg)
…and then her aunt…
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Aj7tqEPEnrQ/UuPsNGQiOxI/AAAAAAAAAdM/y5XBzC9eLag/w800-h600-no/108.Saying_goodbye.jpg)
…and said goodbye forever.

She supposed she’d better go inside; tidy up, pack what little she was allowed to take… No! She couldn’t be hungry at a time like this!
Apparently she could. She sat down alone at the big family dining table and ate Jane’s wonderful food for the last time. She loaded the dishwasher for the last time. It felt sort of pointless but she supposed someone else would be moving in sometime and they wouldn’t want to find her dirty dishes on the table. Anyway, her grandmother would have expected it. Then she picked up the potion that Great-Grandpa Goopy had left for her.

Oh! It was like birthday sparkles, only somehow different.

And then she was back at the beginning of young adulthood.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5lNbbuE2rAs/UuPsXpQ6SqI/AAAAAAAAAd8/eXO-Gne1fcw/w800-h600-no/114.Young_again.jpg)
Maybe she should change her clothes slightly. It wouldn’t be quite as warm where she was going and a bare back didn’t seem entirely sensible.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-XXzmBaZ_mEE/UuPsY9qQZAI/AAAAAAAAAeE/qZUjcxXA5Gk/w800-h600-no/115.New_outfit.jpg)
That’d do, for now at least. Before she had time for second thoughts, she picked up her phone and dialled.
“Toni’s Taxis? Hello… Yes, I’d like a taxi to the airport, please… Ten minutes? OK, I can do that.”
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_ihUPNO1c90/UuPsaJ3Wu9I/AAAAAAAAAeM/7tgapWMM-jo/w800-h600-no/116.Phoning.jpg)
Too late to change her mind now. She walked out to meet the taxi.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6nV8K05qjvg/UuPsbL4354I/AAAAAAAAAeU/fjGbTDy_eKA/w800-h600-no/117.Leaving_home.jpg)
Oh dear. She was all on her own. Until now, it had been a pair starting in each new town. Still, she remembered her family history. Goodness-knows-how-many-greats-grandmother Ana had started out alone in Twinbrook.
Yeah, but she didn’t have to be pregnant within four days of arrival, said a little voice somewhere inside her head. India did her best to ignore it. She settled herself in the back seat of the taxi.

As they drove across the bridge, a police car passed in the opposite direction. India knew that Laura was on duty tonight. Was it her twin?
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-DkRtllfCR-g/UuPsc352taI/AAAAAAAAAek/cF790ea8Ifw/w800-h600-no/119.Crossing_the_bridge.jpg)
She craned to see but it was too dark and they passed too quickly to make out the driver.
They drove up the hill…
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uq1QK2Lgbn4/UuPsd-kt4NI/AAAAAAAAAes/WfXLYjnIKxw/w800-h600-no/120.Up_the_hill.jpg)
…over its shoulder and down again.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-68GMJn9pOBA/UuPseU0jmCI/AAAAAAAAAe0/0NBvmxVColU/w800-h600-no/121.And_down_again.jpg)
On a last-minute impulse, she asked the driver to turn off so that she could have a last look at the Coliseum, where she’d spent so many happy hours training or playing in front of ecstatic crowds.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-VH7dAO0rsr0/UuPsfmoKdFI/AAAAAAAAAe8/6kfvLOKivsE/w800-h600-no/122.Coliseum.jpg)
Then she sighed, lifted her head, and asked him to turn the car and drive on out of town.
