DAY 1  (Mata)

Mama told me about the curse before she passed away, and all I can think of now is how to break the curse.  I have to cast a savior spell, and when the curse breaks, everyone in the sim's world will become a real person.  This spell is not an easy task, first I have to assemble a list of ingredients for the spell, next it requires eight generations of Ferrero's bloodline to cast the spell.  Mama and my ancestors failed many times, so it is up to me now.  I am their only hope, their last hope, their savior.



Mama named me after Mata Hari, possibly one of the most famous secret agent (spies) of all time.  The Ferrero last name is mysterious and fascinating, the myth is that my great grand ancestor Nutella was created by a guy named Ferrero using "magic", not natural pregnancy. 



Travis Scott, swoon.  I was so happy he accepted my advances, I wouldn't know who to woo if Travis rejected me.



I change both mine and Travis's aspiration to "Soulmate" while I seduce Travis.  I wasn't planning on finishing the aspiration, just wanted to have extra whim points to begin with.  We had a blast, we got many gold/silver dates, became best friends, married (eloped), and ended the night trying for baby.  Both me and Travis had over 3000 whim points by this time, enough to buy the "Connections" reward.  I knew I was pregnant, but that didn't stopped me from joining the Secret Agent Career.  Travis left his current job to join Scientist Career, he is going to invent a special honeymoon gift for me.




DAY 3  (Mata)

Tummy getting big, very comfortable.  I refuse to slow down, have to level my Logic and Charisma skill for work.  Baby is due tomorrow, I can rest later.






DAY 4  (Mata)

It's a girl, I named her Monalisa after my favorite painting in the whole wide world.  Travis didn't like the name, but since she is a girl not boy, mommy gets to name her.

[Nettlejuice]

Yay, another dynasty by Nutella  I love the background story for Mata and Travis as a founder spouse 

[Cristina]

Mata is beautiful. I love the origin of the dynasty. Can't wait for your next post 

[Ferretmania]

I love the backstory.

Good luck to Mata and welcome to the SimWorld baby Monalisa

DAY 6  (Mata)

Travis finally gave me the honeymoon gift today, not one but two gifts.  The first gift is a Satellite Dish, which I needed desperately.  I told Travis when we first met that I didn't want any alien abduction pregnancy, he listens and remembers well.



The second gift is a SimRay gun, he told me this will make us super rich.   This I'm not too sure about, but didn't tell him my doubts. 




DAY 7  (Mata)

I told Travis about the dark curse and the savior spell today, he took it really well and wanted to help.  I needed Ambrosia to keep every generation Immortal, and Travis is going to help me get Angelfish and Deathflower.



Deathflower a bit tricky.  Travis needed to learn grafting to create the plant, can't just go out to the world and harvest the flower.  I heard stories about back in the Sims3 world, deathflower plant grows in the graveyard where you can just go pick them.  Here in this world, I can't even find a graveyard, let alone a deathflower plant.




DAY 8  (Mata)

Monalisa became a child today.  She looks just like Travis, not fair. 




DAY 8  (Monalisa)

Mama says I need to write journal.  I don't know what to write.  I like talking with big bear and draw.






DAY 9  (Mata)

Travis been spending a lot of time playing with his SimRay gun.  He made some money off transforming cheap objects, but I don't think its a reliable way to make money.  Boys and their toys, oh well I'll just leave him alone with the gun.




DAY 10  (Mata)

Travis almost burn down the house today, I knew the SimRay gun was bad news. 

[Nettlejuice]

I figured a geek like Travis would have something to do with the SimRay  Monalisa is adorable, at least she'll remind her Mum of Travis =]

[Nutella]

DAY 12  (Mata)

Monalisa came home from school today with an "A", so proud of her.  I have caught up with skills at my job, which gives me some free time to pursue my 3rd skill, gourmet cooking. 




DAY 14  (Mata)

I was working towards "Nerd Brain" aspiration and came to a stop because I didn't have a rocket ship.  Luckily we had enough funds to buy one for $5000, so expensive.  Travis gladly build it for me, without needing to read the instruction manual.  Speaking of aspiration, my little girl finished her Artistic Prodigy aspiration today, she claims it was just too easy.




DAY 15  (Mata)

Travis finally reached gardening level 5 so he can graft Lily to Snapdragon plant to make Orchid.  He was also lucky enough to get a Pomegranate from the SimRay gun he uses sporadically now.




DAY 17  (Mata)

I've done it!  I've created eight microscopic prints for the spell, I have done my part.  Now we just have to wait for all the future Ferreros to create theirs.  I build a storage unit for the ingredients in the basement, not very big but I can always expand it later if needed.



These microscopic prints are worth a whopping $485 each, the most expensive of its kind.  I use the best ingredient for the spell of course.




DAY 19  (Mata)

All those hours on the microscope, I've maxed my Logic skill without noticing.  Also without noticing, Travis gained some weight from all my gourmet meals, he loves them just a bit too much.  I made him exercise, he is not a happy camper.  Nobody likes to exercise.




DAY 20  (Monalisa)

I don't like my default clothes, and what is up with the sunglasses?  Not cute.





Mall - new clothes + Salon - new haircut = much better. 

[Nettlejuice]

A complete museum already, I haven't even got the rare prints yet. Congratulations to Mata! Mona looks lovelier as she ages. Travis doesn't look too bad either, even with a bit of weight gain.

[Nutella]

DAY 21  (Monalisa)

I want to grow up to be a famous painter like da Vinci. 




DAY 23  (Mata)

Nerd Brain Aspiration completed, one down one more to go.  I love the reward trait "Handy", the instant upgrade feature is fabulous. 

Travis proudly showed me his first deathflower plant, we will never have to worry about running out of deathflowers for Ambrosia.




DAY 25  (Mata)

New career outfit, Level 10 Secret Agent - Diamond Agent.  I wonder about the male level 10 outfit, is it a tux? a suit? 




DAY 27  (Mata)

I purchase "Incredibly Friendly" reward and went out to make a lot of friends today.  By the end of the day, I had 20 friends, max Charisma skill, and completed "Friend of the World" aspiration.




DAY 28  (Mata)

Parties day.  I threw many parties - dinner, house, black & white, and costume.  Black & white party was a little difficult to get gold due to one of the requirement is listen to piano at the same time.  I could never get that to register.  I introduced many eligible young men to Monalisa, she didn't seem interested in any of them, picky girl.




DAY 30  (Mata)

Gourmet cooking maxed, my 3 skills are done.

Career, aspirations, skills, medals, friends, whims, museum - all done.  Only thing missing is the four rewards, I can buy that before I eat Ambrosia, haven't decided on which four rewards I want just yet.  To celebrate, I remodeled my home.  My current home looks sad.

 

I am not good at building houses and interior design, so I chose the easy way out - I bought the Diamond Agent styled room for $14,443 to celebrate my success.



Travis is going to love the gaming mat in this room.

[SFL]

I just started reading. Your Sims are pretty and I think you are doing very well. I wish you Good luck!

DAY 33  (Monalisa)

Today I became a young adult, today is also the day I romance Dewayne Flaherty.  He is one of Mama's friend and he comes to our house a lot, I wonder if it's because of me he comes that often.





Dewayne moved in with us and I was shocked to find out he doesn't have much longer to live.



We only went on one gold date, Dewayne was tired.  I wasn't even sure if we could try for baby before he passed out from exhaustion.  Eventually we did and I was pregnant on first try.




DAY 34  (Monalisa)

I've completed Painter Extraordinaire aspiration, bought "Connections" reward and join the Painter Career.  Dewayne didn't feel like working, so he spends his time peacefully fishing by a river near our house.




DAY 35  (Monalisa)

Baby is kicking really hard today, couldn't concentrate on my paintings.



I played some concerto to soothe my baby.




DAY 36  (Monalisa)

Baby arrived right on due date, it's a girl.  I named her J. K. - I'm sure everyone will know that I named her after J. K. Rowling, the Harry Potter books are one of the best-selling book series.

[Nettlejuice]

Congratulations to Mata, wish my immortal wannabes would work as fast as she does, lol. Dewayne being an elder has it's uses but I hope he gets to know his daughter before he's gone.

[SFL]

Oh no, Dewayne! Don't die!  He has to live just a bit longer, just to see the life of his wanna be nooboo.

[Nutella]

DAY 37  (Monalisa)

Dewayne got the message that he won't have long to live, time to get everything ready.  He checked his points, bought two potion of youth, hugged and said goodbye to his little girl.




DAY 38  (Monalisa)

I will miss you Dewayne.  Our happiness was short lived, but I enjoyed every single moment of it. 








DAY 39  (Monalisa)

J.K. grew up today, and ask me who she looks like.  I have no idea, since I've never seen Dewayne's younger self.  I told her she looks like her dad, but secretly I think she looks like me.



She is quite artistic like me, however in a much different way.  She doesn't like painting or violin, but loves to play with her dollhouse.  I have to force her to draw on the activity table so that she won't fail her aspiration.




DAY 40  (Monalisa)

Papa turned Elder today, I think he looks quite dashing for his age.  I still missed Dewayne terribly, let's hope time will heal my broken heart.



J. K. not drawing again.  Papa came to my rescue, he lectured her and made her understand how important completing her aspiration is.  He stood by her, watch and encourage her until bedtime.




DAY 42  (Mata)

I cooked my first Ambrosia, left it in the fridge and told everyone not to touch it.  Tomorrow its my birthday.
