Olympus Dreams 2.9: Bring Out The Muscles

Apollo: It’s not everyone who gets invited to a party on Sixam and for it to count as a work task! Here I go…



Apollo: Well that was fun – you must’ve got some awesome shots, Watcher!
Watcher: It turns out that I haven’t.
Apollo: But – but – it was amazing!
Watcher: The lens cap must’ve been on.
Apollo: Whatever! Here I go up to their ship again.
Watcher: How about you take photos up there?
Apollo: Nope! It’s classified!



Apollo: I’m not sure why I have to jog as a work task, but it’s not a bad way to earn money. That’s given me an idea. Time to try that Ox Blood Serum I made the other day.



Hermes: Dude – what did you do?
Apollo: It turns out that Ox Blood Serum doesn’t just make you fit. It makes you FIT!
Hermes: Can you put a shirt on? I don’t want Candy to see you like that!
Apollo: It’s OK, Uncle Herm. She only has eyes for you. Besides, I like looking like this – I finally feel like the god that I’m supposed to be!
Hermes (to self): I really must do some more swimming.



Candy: Why did we wait a whole week to age these little charmers up? They’re adorable!
Hermes: Well – our parenting skills are great now. Plus you had time to work on your career. I’m so proud of all your 3 promotions in just one week!
Candy: I love my music, but look at Aphie – she’s like a mini-me!
Hermes: And Sei has got my eyes! (to self) I won’t mention that he looks a lot like my Dad. Candy still won’t talk to him…I hope it’s only his looks that Sei’s inherited!



Hermes: There, little one. What do you think of this?
Sei: Big Water?
Hermes: When you’re bigger. Let’s stay safe for now.



Aphie: Play House!
Sei: Fun Fun Funny!
Aphie: More More More!

Notes

Due to a typo on the master scoring spreadsheet (now corrected), I believed Hermes needed to complete 2 of the suggested collections. Going by the corrected rules, Hermes completed his Big Dream in week 20 – Yay!

Congrats to @oshizu for correctly guessing the Big Dreams of Candy and Sei (pronounced “sigh”). I’ve never explored the Mer-people before so I’m looking forward to those tasks.

Aphie’s Big Dream is still to be revealed. There’s maybe a clue in this week’s narrative but it’s fairly obscure.

Olympus Dreams 2.10: Wet, Wet, Wet

Aphie: So What This?
Sei: Yummy!
Aphie: O K Spose…



Father Winter: That’s a lovely hug.
Aphie: You Present Man?
Father Winter: I suppose so…
Aphie: I Love You!



Aphie: Mummy Dress Bad
Candy: Well I’m a serious musician now – I have to dress the part.
Aphie: Bad Bad Bad
Candy: You’re right – let’s hope my next promotion will give me better clothes.



Candy: We need to talk!
Zeus: About what?
Candy: About what you did.
Zeus: What? When?
Candy: You flattered me into bed and then, as soon as I’d gone to work, you moved on to my kid sister!
Zeus: Well she wasn’t a kid and, you know, I’d got that Loving Feeling!
Candy: She was only just old enough and you….Well, this is getting us nowhere. I didn’t know you were Hermes father when I married him but I love him and we need to make this family thing work.
Zeus: Hey, I’m happy to keep it all in the family!
Candy: Ugh! I think you’d better go!



Sei: Dada! Look Me!
Hermes: Argh! Wait right there! I’m coming! You mustn’t wander so far into the water.
Sei: Water Tickles!



Sei: Stay Stay
Hermes: OK We can do this here. It’s a bit weird but apparently it works.



Aphie: Whee! Many Many Balls



Sei: Hey Watcher – it was fun at our birthday party this morning!
Watcher: Hm mm?
Aphie: I had to dash to the dresser to sort out our outfits but otherwise it was a blast. We met loads of people.
Sei: You should’ve been there, Watcher.
Watcher: I was.
Aphie: So where are the  photos?
Watcher: Ho Hum! So (changing the subject) it’s good of your cousin Apollo to help your Dad mentor you in chess, right?
Aphie: Dad doesn’t looked thrilled.
Sei: Why isn’t Apollo wearing a shirt?
Aphie: Why are there no photos of the party but there’s one of this?
Watcher: Moving On!

Notes

Aphie’s character is emerging – I’ve thrown tons of clues in this episode – so her Big Dream is…?

[Deklitch]

Aphie Big Dream - my guess is Financial Whiz.

[Granny Lawlor]

Aphie Big Dream - my guess is Financial Whiz.

So close! But no

[oshizu]

The twins were super adorable as toddlers!
Did they both inherit the Olympian green eyes?

Haha, Hermes should go collect the ingredients for Ox Serum and ask Apollo to make him one.
Or did Apollo bring home his cloning machine?

Hermes, you dawg! You married Candy without telling her who your father was!
Family get-togethers must be awkward, to say the least.

Your response that Financial whiz throws me off, but I'm going to guess Holiday Lover for Aphie's BD anyway.

[Granny Lawlor]

The twins were super adorable as toddlers!
Did they both inherit the Olympian green eyes?

No - only Sei so he'll be the heir. Aphie has her mother's eyes

Haha, Hermes should go collect the ingredients for Ox Serum and ask Apollo to make him one.
Or did Apollo bring home his cloning machine?

Hermes, you dawg! You married Candy without telling her who your father was!
Family get-togethers must be awkward, to say the least.

Just a tad! Hermes didn't know that Candy was one of his father's conquests. Candy has the full HATE bar for Zeus

Your response that Financial whiz throws me off, but I'm going to guess Holiday Lover for Aphie's BD anyway.

Sorry no. @Deklitch was definitely closer but I'll throw in more clues next episode.

[Deklitch]

If not Financial Whiz, I'm wondering whether Aphie might be going to get physical and go digging for gold ... she is named for the Greek Goddess of Love, after all.

[Granny Lawlor]

Excellent - "on the money" as they say! Gold-Digger in the making - after all, what Goddess doesn't deserve to be surrounded with beautiful (expensive) things 

[Granny Lawlor]

Olympus Dreams 2.11: Alien At Last

Candy: So – I got a promotion. What do you think?
Aphie: We-ll, congrats on the promo but, honestly Mum, the outfit is not much of an improvement! Where's the glamour – the pizzazz? You’re in the entertainment industry, for goodness sake!
Candy: I should take you with me when I meet the wardrobe people!



Apollo: So Uncle Hermes – this is for you.
Hermes: What is it?
Apollo: You keep telling me to put on a shirt! Well, this serum is how I got these muscles. And you can have the same.
Hermes: Wow – and it’ll work for me too.
Apollo: Should do – drink up!



Apollo: See – those muscles just appear. I think you need to …oh…my stomach feels weird!
Hermes: It’s sort of swollen too!
Apollo: I think it’s just gas.
Hermes: Maybe I should’ve waited before drinking that serum.



Candy: Oh Hermes, you look amazing.
Hermes: So do you, Candy. You always have!
Candy: But I’m getting old, Hermes. I’ll be grey soon.
Hermes: I’ve got a plan for that – don’t worry



Aphie: Can I feel the baby?
Apollo: What do you mean?
Aphie: You’re clearly pregnant – look how far your clothes are stretching.
Apollo: Ouch! No-one else has said anything.
Aphie: Sometimes the truth hurts but needs saying
Apollo: Hmm – sometimes it doesn’t.



Apollo: What is this?
Candy: You might call it an intervention.
Apollo: Why are you intervening?
Candy: You need to face the fact that all those abductions has finally resulted in pregnancy.
Apollo: It could just be a tummy bug.
Hermes: Come on, Apollo. You know it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Apollo: But the birth – the baby care?
Candy: You’ve been helping us with the twins. Your parenting skills are top-notch.  We’ll be here and besides you’ll surely get some ET help with them. As for the birth, I think a caesarean would be obvious solution. Are you listening Watcher?
Watcher: Erm – what – oh yes!



Apollo: So Miki – that seems to be the situation?
Miki: I see.
Apollo: I know you wanted to date me but I wanted you to know what’s going on.
Miki: I don’t know what to think.
Apollo: Maybe this will help



Miki: I do like you – a lot!
Apollo: Would you be my girlfriend?
Miki: Oh yes – definitely – I think



Aphie: Don’t you just love the clouds?
Miki: And lying on the sand is a very good exfoliator
Aphie: Oh yes! I’d read that. How do you keep your nails so beautiful?
Miki: Regular manicures – it’s the only way!
Aphie: Tell me more!



Apollo: Well that was something I don’t want to do ever again!
Watcher: You did great!
Apollo: But you were going to send me for a caesarean!
Watcher: Sorry what? Oh look Aggi is crying, or is it Dae? – must need feeding.
Apollo (super-efficient babycare): Giving birth to twins as a man was very traumatic.
Watcher: It’s not a walk in the park for women either!



Aggi: In! In! Fun! Fun!
Dae: Me In Now!



Candy: Happy Birthday, Hermie
Hermes: Happy Birthday to you too!
Candy: What?
Hermes: Drink this and you’ll be the same age as me!
Candy: That’s perfect – I love you.
Hermes: Love you always, beautiful!



Sei: This is where I’m supposed to be!



Aphie: And you will be bringing me lots of presents soon?
Father Winter: I remember you!



Big Dreams Progress: Week 27 (Year 2, Autumn 3)

Hermes (gen 2) – World Traveller: Completed Week 20, still in house.

Apollo (gen 3) – Master Scientist: Create & Use – Serums 11/15 – no progress

Candy (gen 2 spouse) – Music Afficionado: Aspirations – Musical Genius 2/4, other creative ?; Career – Entertainer 8/10; Skills– Guitar 7, Piano 10, Violin 10; Other Requirements – license 2/3 songs, play for tips 10/25 hrs on community lots.

Aphrodite (Aphie - gen 3)– Gold Digger (teen): Outgoing, High-Maintenance; Child Aspirations – Artistic Prodigy & Social Butterfly; Scout Badges - Sociability

Poseidon (Sei - gen 3) – Sea Siren (teen): Outgoing, Child of the Islands; Child Aspirations – Social Butterfly & Rambunctious Scamp; Eaten Mermaid Kelp immediately after teen birthday

Daedalus (Dae - gen 4) - ? (toddler): Maxed Movement & Potty
Agdistis (Aggi - gen 4) – Alien Antics (toddler): Maxed Movement & Potty



Notes

Aphie’s Big Dream is Gold Digger, as guessed by @Deklitch . Will she be insensitive or declare 10 enemies? Time will tell. She had bonded with Apollos girlfriend Miki who is also High-Maintenance.

The alien twins Daedalus and Agdistis usher in gen 4 but will there be cousins for them?

3 of the Big Dreams in progress require marriage: Alien Antics – marry a co-worker; Gold Digger – marry a wealthy spouse & Sea Siren – move-in and marry an elemental. I should have thought a bit more about this. Only Sea Siren demands an addition the household and Poseidon does have my preferred green eyes for future generations. We will have to see how the story develops.

One of the twins obviously will be doing Alien Antics and that will be Agdistis. What will Daedalus be doing? I think his legend gives it away but maybe it’s not obvious…

[oshizu]

wow, twin alienboos! You've almost got a full house.
Fortunately, Hermes is done while Candy and Apollo are close to finished with their BDs, too.

[Granny Lawlor]

Olympus Dreams 2.12: Do It With Style

Dae: And the little alien lived happily ever after by the ocean
Aphie: And the little alien got a make-over and lived happily ever after



Dae (in grey): Rocket Fly High
Aggi (in yellow): Way High Home



Hebe: Well aren’t you two cute? I guess you’re my grandkids but I’m not sure if that’s how it works.



Dae: People Funny
Aggi: You Me Best



Sei: Here you go! If you like fish this much, I’d better think about doing some fishing myself



Manicurist: You’re a lot younger than my usual clients.
Aphie: Did you choose that uniform? I get that teal is a spa-sort of colour but it does nothing for your complexion.



Alex: I hear you had some comments on our uniforms?
Aphie: Owwww!
Alex: Any comments about mine?
Aphie: Pthugrgh!
Alex: Thought not.



Apollo: Hey you two are pretty serious about your chess since your birthday!
Aggie (wavy hair): Thank you for mentoring us
Dae (straight hair): Thank you for bearing us



Apollo: This is one I remember from my childhood
Dae: Where can we study these unicorns?
Apollo: Oh, they’re not real. They’re made up.
Aggie: This is education? Made-up facts?

Aphie: Thankful for nice nails
Apollo: Thankful for family
Sei: Thankful for the ocean
Candy: Thankful for my promotion
Aggi: Thankful for nutritious sustenance
Dae: Thankful for educational aids



Apollo: I’ve got a hard day planned at work – I’ll try this Alien serum to see if it helps. Tastessss weirdddd – zzzzz



Aphie: That’s such an improvement mum! I was thinking white would look good but you can totally carry off that black!
Candy: Just one more promotion to go! Thanks for the support, love.
Aphie: As long as you remember that next time we go shopping!

Agdistis (Aggi - gen 4 child) – Alien Antics: Maxed Thinking; Whiz Kid 1/4; Scout Badges – Scholarly Aptitude



Notes

Apollo is so close to finishing so he and Hermes could move out soon but that would leave Candy. I think the household will stay as it is for a while.
Aphie is working on declaring 10 enemies in her own little lock-up. It’s the only way to stop them running off half-way – thanks @oshizu  for that strategy. Hopefully she’ll have plenty of time to remove the negative traits before aging up.

[oshizu]

Unless a sim's annoying, I like to keep older family members around to encourage character traits, teach responsibility, and handle household chores.
Lol, nothing worse than a potential enemy fleeing home just as the "Declare Enemy" option pops up!

[Granny Lawlor]

Olympus Dreams 2.13-14: Ten A Penny

Sei: Come on, Dae! You can do it!
Dae: Are you an alien too?
Sei: I’m a merman – half-fish, half-human.
Dae: I am fully alien.
Sei: I know but we have to pretend to be normal around others so they don’t freak out.



Aggi: Ah – we have aged into stereotypical male-female outerwear and hair-styles.
Dae: It is so we do not freak the humans out.



Aggi: As long as you and I know who we are.
Dae: Nano, Nano!
Aggi: Your disguise is good but I think I will tweak mine



Dae: I heard someone say you looked hot in your new disguise.
Aggi: Maybe it is because I am now wearing a jacket
Dae: That would make sense



Apollo: So what do you think of the spa, kiddos?
Aggi: This is a good couch to sit on to do our reading.
Dae: I agree.
Aggi: What is wrong with your face
Dae: I have donned another mask
Aggi: Why does Aphie want hot stones placed on her back?
Apollo: Beats me!
Dae: What?
Aggi: Another idiom, I think.



Hermes: Argh – ah – woah!
Apollo: What did you do?
Hermes: I’m not sure.
Apollo: You must’ve done something to get their attention!



Candy: Oh – we did fool around in the observatory. Do you think it was that?
Apollo: I knew you two just mess about all day while the rest of us are out.
Candy: Well – since I gave up work – I needed something to keep busy!
Hermes: You don’t think I’ve been impregnated do you?
Watcher: I do hope not!



Candy: Nice makeover, sweetie. And thanks for helping your brother out too.
Aphie: Why does everyone hate me? I've got 10 declared enemies now!
Candy: Well, dear, you have been taking your mood swings out on everyone.
Aphie: Not everyone. Just the weird men who turn up all flirty – it seems they find me beguiling which just creeps me out.
Candy: That is a little creepy. You don’t seem to mind Father Christmas being friendly.
Aphie: Well – I want to keep on his good list!
Candy: Anyway – why were you uncomfortable this time?
Aphie: Have you heard of a Poseidon’s Kiss?
Candy: Erm…
Watcher: Moving on!
Aphie: I’ll try harder to work out my emotions without hurting others.



Aphie: Ah – this is nice. It’s not fun but it is very relaxing! I have absolutely no desire to chew out this strange man tickling my feet.

Notes

Hermes was abducted Friday night and I haven’t seen any tummy glows so I’m hopeful there’s no pregnancy.

I’ve never heard of a Poseidon’s Kiss which makes a High Maintenance sim feel very uncomfortable. To save you the embarrassment of using SimSearch, it is when you’re taking a poop and you get splash-back. I don’t know if this is a widespread term or just peculiar to Sims. I must say that I was very confused when I saw the notification for Aphrodite, Poseidon being her brother and all!

Sei and Dae are both ready to age up but both are waiting for their twins to catch up. Dae’s Big Dream is now fairly obvious from his skill set.

[oshizu]

Crossing my fingers that Hermes escaped "unscathed."
Candy's close to done now and the kids are all zooming ahead.
Oh, Daedalus will become a Tech Head? Because of Rocket Science?
Since he was the father of Icarus in myth, I was thinking more along the lines of Astronaut, lol. But you've already had a sim max Space Ranger.

[Granny Lawlor]

Daedalus is indeed a Tech-Head! It seemed the most fitting as his mythic specialities include inventions.
I think I might need to move my family just to clear out items left over from earlier dreams. I think I may also have to give up the tiny house *sobs* to make room for video and tech stuff.
