DAY 43  (Monalisa)

I threw a surprised birthday party for mama.  I played some songs for the party, while mama cooked us some delicious food.



Papa was in charged of the bar, although he wasn't very good at making drinks, he insist on managing the bar.



We spend a few hours hugging and chatting, reminiscing about the old times.





I think mama hurt her back while blowing out the candles.





We had strawberry cake for dessert, after that I played some card games with mama while papa went on a frenzy and ate 2 more slices of cake.





Papa made a toast to immortal lives, ending my party in gold.  We are ready for Ambrosia.



Mama checked all her requirements twice and made sure she bought her rewards, then took a big mouthful of Ambrosia to complete her destiny to become Immortal.

It's nice to see a brand new story from you, Nutella.

DAY 43  (Mata)

Great party.  Now that the party is over, its official business time.  I printed out some paperwork and brought it to the cityhall to get my Immortal Status approved.











I handed them my printouts, filled out the form, signed my name and dated it.  After a few minutes of inspecting my papers, the worker gave me a "Metro approved" stamp on my form, I am officially Immortal now with the Sims 4 world.

[KRae]

You have a very practical, organized approach to this. I feel like I don't need to wish you luck, but I do anyway. Are you posting as you go, or have you played ahead?

[Nutella]

Thank you @KRae.  I'm a very organized person, which means I concentrate way too much on the requirements and suffers on the storytelling part.  I did play for 3 sims week before I posted this, now I am all caught up and posting as I go.

Storytelling is very difficult, I have to come up with some random things to say most of the time.  I forget to take screenshots constantly, I'm sure that happens to a lot of us.

[Cristina]

Wow, you work really fast! That was amazing progress. I can't wait to see Monalisa's journey to immortality

DAY 46  (Monalisa)

I got promoted to rank 8 today and realize logic skill is slacking.  Luckily mama is around to mentor me.




DAY 49  (Monalisa)

Papa got the "death is coming" popup message, he cashed out all his points and bought six potion of youth, and a few instant fun.  I threw a few parties to cheer up the household, dancing did the trick!  Papa have moves, mama not so much.






DAY 51  (Mata)

Grim came.  Travis was ready, I was ready, but it still doesn't make this any easier.










DAY 52  (J. K.)

Birthday!  Birthday!  Birthday!





Of course Mama took me to the mall right after I aged up.  Nobody likes default clothing. 

[Nettlejuice]

Congrats to Mata! Wish I was as organised as you, I haven't even got my spreadsheet done it's all handwritten  RIP to both Travis and Dewayne 

[Cristina]

J.K is really pretty, especially as a teenager. RIP Travis, I liked him.

DAY 53  (Monalisa)

Congratulations to myself, I got promoted to Master of the Real rank 10 today.  Outfit looks quite plain, I wish it was a little more colorful.




DAY 54  (Monalisa)

I don't understand how is my daughter so bad at something I'm so good at.  Her violin skills are atrocious, doesn't matter how much I mentor her.  I give up, I've completed my musical genius aspiration, not going to waste more time mentoring her.




DAY 54  (J. K.)

Mama needs to stop forcing me to practice violin.  I don't like violin, I like to write stories, especially fantasy ones.




DAY 56  (Monalisa)

I was out and about making new friends and met a very nice man, J. Huntington.  Need to tell J. K. about him.






DAY 57  (Monalisa)

Very frustrated with my paintings.  I have completed all my requirements, and have painted over 30 paintings for the spell, but all of them are quite low value.  My highest masterpiece is at $6,000 only, that is not acceptable.  I bought the painter styled room for $13,265 and I shall spend all my free time in here painting abstracts.  Hopefully I will get one that is over $10,000 soon.




DAY 57  (J. K.)

Mama introduced me to J. Huntington.  His name starts with a J. too, just like mine, definitely like him a lot already.




DAY 63  (Monalisa)

Finally got my first masterpiece that is worth over $10,000.




DAY 64  (J. K.)

I took a break from writing today, and ask J. Huntington if he wanted to come over and hang out.  Couldn't get hold of him on the phone, checked with mama and found out J. had passed away!  I was so bummed, he was my only friend.  I went shopping by myself, mama is too busy painting and grandmama doesn't like to shop.  I met a new friend Dalton, he is quite nice but not as nice as J.



After shopping I went to the gym, I saw something very strange.  Grim reaper is boxing ... I didn't know death needs to exercise.  I thought he could just snap his finger and make himself magically lean and fit.



Stopped by the bar for some orange juice, really tired from shopping and walking all day.  My heart skips a beat when I saw him, Cooper.  He's the mixologist and he's charming, really charming.  Reminded me of prince charming from one of my books.

[Nutella]

DAY 66  (J. K.)

I can't stop thinking about Cooper.  Hurry up birthday cake, age me up already.  I bought "Connections" and joined the writer career as soon as I aged up.  Next I dialed Cooper's number, I can't wait to see him.





He was in a relationship with someone, but I convinced him to choose me instead.  He moved in, but I guess he won't be with us long.  Oh well.





I wanted to go on a date with him, but forgot about it after all the fun we had.




DAY 67  (J. K.)

Mama in a bad mood, she got a very large bill this morning. 



Sigh, and she doesn't like Cooper.  She yelled at him, saying something like he only stay with me because of the money.  I know we are rich, but really?  I don't think Cooper is with me because of money, I don't believe mama.






DAY 67  (Mata)

J.K.'s books are amazing, after reading a few, I realize that her books will make a great ingredient for the spell.  While Monalisa is busy yelling at Cooper, I went through some old spell books, did some research and decided to change the savior spell.  This improved version spell will be much more powerful.




DAY 68  (J. K.)

Mama don't need to worry anymore now, Cooper passed away ... he was only with me for 2 days.



I shed some tears for him, but not much really.  I didn't spend much time with Cooper, we didn't even manage to go on a date.  I have no regrets, but I do feel bad that Cooper didn't get to see his unborn child.




DAY 69  (J. K.)

It's a girl.  This house is filled with girls.  When I met Cooper at the bar, he was mixing a Margarita for customer - I shall name our little girl Margarita in memory of him.

I love that you are picking elders for your heirs.. almost like a Black Widow Spider Family! hahaha. I really like your writing style and I love the pace of your story too. Will keep reading for sure 

[Tixxis]

I like your story too and I am learning a lot from it. Thank you, Nutella.

[Nutella]

I'm picking elders because I needed the space in the household for heirs, can't have too many spouses around or I won't be able to get to later generations fast.  Things I do in the dynasty are always for requirements, there is always a reason I do certain things (and the reason is never for story).

[KRae]

It won't be as simple with male heirs. I don't play TS4, so is there a way to tell young adults from adults like the party invite list in TS3?
