Chapter One: Not Just A Bird

Dear Nettie,


I think it's time for a change and I don't mean just my outfit. Do you like the little bird on my chest? It might not be a kestrel but I'm hoping it'll be a sort of good luck charm. Let's start with a clean slate, OK?





Again, dearie?


Yup. Sorry to drag you back again, Nance.





I don't know, love. Maybe you should give the Goths a chance, or the Calientes?





(I can't decide if she's being serious or not.)





Oh, Kes. Of course we will join you, who else can put up with our Mal?





*sniffle* Thank you, thank you! I promise to do everything in my power to make it right this time!





You know what Grim told me? Someone cursed my name with a powerful spell, a chant on a Chant, ridiculous right? When I find that person I'll boil them alive and eat their heart.


That's a bit wild, dearie. The Voodoo Doll should be sufficient.





Things really will be different. While the Landgraabs got acquainted with skilling objects, I found myself watching Dina Caliente unsuccessfully try to beat the stuffing out of her punching bag.





Hey, Dina, wanna move in with me and the Landgraabs?


What kind of herbed up dream do you think this is? The Landgraabs have a history of criminal activity behind their wealth and a devil child to terrorise us in future.





They're not all bad. What other choice do you have? When your old Mum dies you'll have to support that freeloading sister and Mr Sleazy over there. I jerked a thumb towards Uncle Donny.


When you put it like that, I do not want to be living here for the rest of my life while those two do nothing. What else can you offer me?


Oh, I don't know. How about a successful career, any guy you want to date. Or girl. A kid or two if you wanted. A better outfit for a start.


You know what? I'd love to see Nina and Don try and live without me cleaning up after them. It'll teach Mum to take Nina's side all the time, too.





*sigh* I feel so sorry for him. Just look at that sad, sad face.





Get it over with.


Bwahahaha. OK, no. I'm just going to leave you alone this time, Johnny.





Why do I find that so hard to believe?


Well, someone told me you're not such a bad fella. So I'm letting you get off scot-free. Unless you want an enemy?


No thanks. Could you please just leave?


Okie dokie.





Whoa, a girl bro.


Yup. Bro hug!





And that should be that. Mitch is coming along too, of course.


Love, Kessy H Chant.

[oshizu]

Congratulations on your new dynasty!
Love the new short coif, bird T-shirt, and zippered black jeans. Kessie is even prettier now.
What an unexpected combination of townies.
I"m looking forward to the household dynamics!!!

[sdhoey]

YAY! Who in the world cursed her??

[Playalot]

Squee! So excited to see you back and whew! Kessy looks great!

[Nettlejuice]

@sdhoey Well, you will find out in due time   

@oshizu & @Playalot Thankies! Her look was for another Sim I was playing for fun but it ended up looking wrong so I tried it on Kessy and she rocks it. I was going to have her with tattoos but I find them so repulsive, except for the one on her lower back. Gave her piercings for a 'tough' look and Janet's hat - my only Sim to reach immortality so far 

This time around I did a weird thing where some screenshots are not done in order that they happened during gameplay, just 'cause it makes sense in certain places.

Thank you all again for sticking with me, I don't think I'd continue with this challenge if it wasn't for you <3

[ManiSims]

Kessie's outfit looks so cute! And I actually quite like Dina Caliente, so this should be interesting. Looking forward to more and good luck on this run!

[SFL]

Good luck as always! Wonder what the future holds this time
Kessie's outfit looks great! I love the combination

[hazysmith]

Dynasty helpers look like fun, and so does Kessy! Good luck, I'll be reading. :-)

[Nettlejuice]

@ManiSims I love Dina, except she can be a bit mean sometimes. She and Mal drive me insane. Plus Dina as a guy... I fell in love with her after changing the gender of originals to the opposite, lol.

@SFL I love her second everyday outfit too, it's similar to something I have in real life.

@hazysmith Welcome to the forum! Kessy is a whole lot of fun, though I have been so frustrated having a full house right at the start 

Thank you all for reading and commenting <3

Chapter Two: Help Wanted!

Dear Nettie,


I don't know why Granny complained about digging up fossils and treasures, I find it a relaxing process.





Another thing that relaxes me is the building of yet another rocket ship. I can't think of a name for her, maybe you can or whoever else ends up reading this?





After observing the skies for several nights in a row I found myself drawn to some sparkling lights.





Then a beam of light shone down on me and an unseen force pulled me towards it.





Nancy? Anyone? Help me!


Mitch was painting in the upstairs balcony, totally oblivious to all around him





Nancy and Geoff were fishing just a few metres away but they were deaf to my cries.





Who else could I call for?


D-Dina?





Nope. She was far too happy mixing drinks.





And Gavin was busy admiring his new look.





Don't touch me you dirty little alien freaks!





After what seemed like years had gone by, I was promptly kicked out of the spaceship and landed on my bum.





Dazed and confused I took a nap. The abduction hadn't been a total pain in the bum - I found clues to who had cursed me!






Love, Kessy H Chant.

[sdhoey]

I love the dazed look they get when they back.  I love everyone's new look. I can't wait to find out who cursed her. I hope she can get them back for it.

[Playalot]

I think your screenshots are even more beautiful this time around...if that's even possible! 

[Nettlejuice]

@sdhoey I had fun trying new outfits, Geoff and Mitch haven't changed much. Nancy looks so lovely, I have a girl crush on her and Dina, lol.

@Playalot I prefer playing in Oasis Springs but the colours in Willow Creek are prettier. Plus I have noticed the pool water is much bluer in WC.

[oshizu]

I agree with sdhoey about the makeovers.  Nancy looks a lot younger, I wouldn't have recognized Dina without your caption, and I especially like Gavin's transformation into a suaver, cooler version.  Why does he wear a dang helmet to work, anyway?
I've never tried Oasis Springs for a dynasty because fishing requires travel so I was wondering why you prefer playing in OS?

For me, the hardest part of playing a full house is that since the March patch (I think), the sims' work performance gets heavily penalized for going to work late.
I had a sim who was very close to promotion (one tick away), but he arrived late after which it took two more work days to get that promotion.  Grrr

The intense colors of your shots is so striking!
