Chapter Four is here! Wee!!!
When we last saw Miriam, she went to prom alone, fell in love with a fellow female student, found out one of her potential future spouses had been zombified but also made a best friend in Waylon Wolff, climbed to level 3 of her job at the cemetery and got on the honor roll. It was time for Miriam to face young adulthood.
Good golly she's gorgeous. Her final rolled trait was something I cannot remember. I noticed a few days later that her final trait had disappeared so had to use the testing cheats to reapply it. She rolled Savvy Sculptor. Hm. I hadn't planned on her doing sculpting, but hey - why not?
Madeline has had a wish to free the genie for ages now, so I figure it's finally time.
Conveniently, the genie is now a member of the current household so I have complete control of him. His name is Phillip McClure, an anticlimactic genie name if there ever was one. His traits are inappropriate, good, excitable, vehicle enthusiast and easily impressed. His LTW is to become an International Super Spy. So I sent him to the police station to get a job and set him to working on logic and athletic skills. I guess it's the inappropriate trait but sheesh, he goes around to all four of the computers in the house submitting inappropriate forum posts and then breaks every one. Every. Single. Computer. Argh! I have to send Madeline around behind him to "Fairy repair" everything. Dunno if its that trait or a genie thing.
ANYHOW.
Mom introduces her daughter to what she hopes is her future son in law.
"Nice to meet you. Listen, you seen really nice but I have a ton of crap I have to complete before I can even think about having a fella in my life. Cool?"
I didn't see either Phillip or Miriam fart hearts for one another but not long after meeting they both rolled the want to kiss the other for the first time. Both of those locked in, I got Miriam to work painting and writing. During this time, I had time to play with Phillip, my Genie, and see what all kinds of skills that he has. Genie's are fun! I still prefer Aliens but Genies are neat. No need for a maid, butler or Bonehilde when all he has to do is "Make house spotless and sparkly" and boom - it's done. He can also summon any food you can imagine - EXCEPT Ambrosia, of course.
While he searches the galaxy - guess what happens?
I was worried that with my luck he would get the "unexpected weight gain" moodlet which I really did not want. It would have been very hard for me to return an alien baby to its home world. Well, no worries since he didn't get that moodlet or even the "abducted" one. He was just fine about it all apparently.
Miriam - not so much. She was not happy about it at all. But, thankfully, no alien baby there either.
And then............... this happened.
Le Sigh.
RIP Param, you were a good husband and father. Sorry I ragged on your looks.
Naturally everyone was distraught and I decided Miriam and Phillip needed some cheering up.
They really like each other and it has to be one of the easiest pairings I've ever played in the Sims. They continued a romantic relationship but no proposals or nooboos until she's completed everything!
Miriam threw herself into her writing to finish everything up. Go on, Miriam, you get down with your bad self.
"So, uhmmm, remember how I told you that I had to complete all these objectives before we could marry?"
"Well, guess who has two thumbs and has finally done almost everything?! This Gal! I only have one more thing to complete - I need to deliver a large painting to China. Would you like to join me?"
I sent all three of them to China and Miriam finally proposed to Phillip inside the mouth of the Maw.
I let them pretty much do whatever they wanted for the next two days afterwards. I'd been such a slave driver that I just kind of wanted to leave Miriam alone. I took Madeline and did some tomb exploration. On the final day of the trip, Miriam and Phillip married in a private ceremony at the Scholars Garden.
Three unique opportunities: Deliver Large painting to Sammy Hanson, Interior Decor at restaurant and Deliver a large painting to China.

Meanwhile I am getting tired of waiting for Miriam to complete the other two writing skill challenges to complete that section and since she rolled savvy sculptor, I start her in that field. Truth told, now with it done, not sure I saved much more time. Hard to say - but with the author challenges, she needed to write like 30 books and it was tough getting to 15. So, yeah.
Her six unique skill challenges completed:
Proficient Painter
Brushmaster
Master Painter
Science Fiction Novelist
Chieselmiester
Master Sculptor
Her two different reward career/professional reward objects:
Painting certificate
Sculpting medal
And with all of THAT finally out of the way!
It's a BOY! Meet Peter McClure:
But he's not blue? Why isn't he BLUE??
His traits at birth are: Insane and Loves the Outdoors. Gahhh... I dislike the insane trait so very much. His favorite color is orange, favorite music is epic and his favorite food is spaghetti with veggie sauce.
