The Snozzberries (Not So Berry Legacy) - Complete (Dec 2022)

[Granny Lawlor]

Oh wow, a whole new challenge for you; are you pursuing both at once? Tina is adorable. She'll break a lot of hearts for sure!

I've ducked out of my 2nd Big Dreams attempt - slipped up on the rules. This challenge will hopefully be a bit more relaxing.

The Snozzberries (Not So Berry Legacy) 1.5: Red-Hot Temper

Elphie: Grace, Love and Peace be with you now and evermore, dear daughter.
Tina: That means so much, I love you Mum.



Elphie: Sophie, would you mind coming here please?
Sophie: What can I help you with?
Elphie: I’ve just upgraded this cloning machine and I want to see if it works.
Sophie: Is it safe?
Elphie: What’s the worst that could happen?



Sophie: Wow – you’re just like me!
Beatriz: But younger! I’m only just a young adult.
Sophie: What are you going to do?
Beatriz: I don’t think Elphie really wants me to move in with her, so…can I live at yours?
Sophie: Fantastic! That will put an end to Mum & Dad having any more babies. It’s been getting ridiculous!



Tina: Ha, ha! Lots of new people to meet. Dad says I should make some friends and these look just the right sort.



Kohei: What’s going on?
Tina: You told me to make some friends and it’s Brawl Day. I love Brawl Day!
Kohei: Your Hot Temper is going to get you in to trouble, young lady!
Tina: Fight!



Kohei: Did you see Tina at the park last weekend? I don’t know what to do with her. It’s left a festering grudge.
Elphie: She’s OK. She’s an A student and she’s a Llamacorn Scout. Give her time.
Kohei: I don’t know. She’s a handful!
Elphie: Don’t think about that now. We’ll get it sorted. Look where we are!
Kohei: It’s so romantic here and I love being on my home turf.
Elphie: I was going to change but I can’t wait any longer!



Elphei: Happy Birthday, sweetheart!
Kohei: You’ve been so good this last week.
Tina: I’m sorry I upset you.
Kohei: Let’s put it all behind us.



Elphie: You look lovely dear.
Tina: I’m not sure about my hair colour. It’s plum and green.
Elphie: What’s wrong with green?
Tina: Nothing! Nothing at all! But I think I’ll go more reddish pink

Notes

Two weeks have passed in this episode. Tina’s very pale skin takes careful dressing to not look washed out and I’m not sure pink or red is really her colour but I might experiment a bit further. She does have lovely high cheek bones.

I’ve only ever cloned Scientist co-workers so I don’t know if it’s possible to clone SIMS outside the lab. It’s maybe an option to clone those desirable SIMS that have got caught up in other relationships?

[oshizu]

Congrats to Elphie on maxing her career!
Yes, Elphie can use her cloning machine at home to clone non-Scientist townies.
Haha, I note that Tina's Watcher is gearing up for the Spouse Hunt.
Can't wait to see how that works out!

Is the "Discuss expanding the family" social not working for you?

My Sims never seem to have a good enough relationship although Elphie doesn't let Kohei build his other relationships. Her jealous trait is a bit of a pain.
Tina's attitude is "love the one you're with" so her baby daddy will probably just be the best of her Serial Romantic boyfriends. There's surprising news in the next episode though!

[Rhoxi]

Tina seems like quite the feisty one. I wonder which sim can live up to the task of being her spouse?

The Snozzberries (Not So Berry Legacy) 1.6: Fun In The Sun

Tina: Well I’ve have a blast since my birthday last week! Boyfriend’s, how do I love thee? Let me count the names….
First there was Jayceon – that was a fun date at the coffee shop



Tina: Then I reconnected with Collin – do you remember him? We had a date at home and played a lot of chess.



I met Matthew at school and asked him to join me to “study”



And then Jamie. He reminds me of that Malcolm Landgraab but he’s nicer



Thursday night I came home to a big surprise. And I mean huge! Collin had phoned Mum because he said, and I quote “he’d found a ring in my bag and should he say yes”. Mum thought it was a joke because we’re only teens so she said yes. Well, what she didn’t know was that Collin had become a Young Adult. So according to my profile, I’m an engaged teen and engaged to a young adult. I don’t know whether to be happy or mad. I think I’m just confused!



When it got to Friday night, Mum & Dad had heard that a friend of theirs had died and they were both really sad. I suggested they phoned the Sadness Helpline.



It didn’t help much but I wanted to cheer them up for their birthday so I made a cake and took it with us to the Spice Festival. Mum checked if there were any unusual spices to collect and then they blew out their candles



Elphie: How did we get to be so old?
Kohei: The time just flew by.
Elphie: Will you still love me?
Kohei: Always! My green goddess!



Tina: I left them to it. Their sadness completely disappeared so it was the best place to come. Dad even got a swagger on when he was the only one to complete the spice challenge.



Tina: Actually, Dad’s gone a bit weird. We’d missed some trash that a litterbug had scattered so these plants grew. No wonder! Dad’s been watering them! I mean, why would he do that!



Tina: Oh yes, on Saturday we went to the beach for Mum & Dad to get a tan. Mum forgot her swimsuit straps don’t match her day dress – oh dear – tan line disaster!
And Sullivan came round. I think you’ll find that’s 5 boyfriends. Or rather 4 boyfriends and 1 fiance…I’m not sure how that’s going to work out…

Notes

Kohei’s watering trash plants because it’s a family club activity and I hadn’t spotted them. Is there any point to keeping them?

How weird is Tina’s engagement? It’ll lend itself to her lifestory but it’s surely an oversight in the programming?

Elphie just needs one element and she needs to find Sadnum, Romantium, Simtanium, Plumbite or Jet and for them to produce Firaxium. She’s still working to get them off co-workers but they keep giving elements I’ve already got. What’s your sure-fire way?

[oshizu]

Oh! Elphie and Kohei are elders already! I'm curious to see how much extra time their Long-Lived trait will buy them.
That's hilarious that Tina got engaged as a teen! I do like Collin's traits.

RE: Trash fruit
The Garden collection requires a trash fruit if you're trying to complete that. I usually harvest one or two trash fruit, then get rid of the trash plants (they attract bugs to your garden0.

[Granny Lawlor]

A quick cry for help from me, Tina. Mama says I need to give her a grandchild before she dies - that she'll raise it. What a pressure to put me under!
It's my Young Adult birthday on the coming Saturday and I want to get straight to it but I don't know which one to pick.

Here they are. I'm not too worried about traits as Mama will be raising the baby.
Which would you choose as my baby-daddy? I promise to go with the majority if there is any response.

Young Adults
Collin Richards - Vegetarian/Geek/Glutton


Jamie Bjergsen - Geek/Proper/Self-Assured


Jayceon Delgato - Romantic/Lazy/Lactose Intolerant


Sullivan Sigworth - Foodie/Unflirty/Adventurous


Teens (so might have to wait...)
Reynaldo Bjergsen - Lactose Intolerant/Perfectionist


Matthew Calliente - Neat/Genius


Josue Goth - Self-Assured/Paranoid


Trevor Tinker - Unflity/Goofball


Jorge Jang - Lazy/Cheerful

[Auranaris]

My vote will have to go to good ol’ Colin based solely on genetics. Him or Matthew Caliente

The Snozzberries (Not So Berry Legacy) 2.1: The Best Laid Plans

Tina: Well the Fleamarket is a bust as far as Mama getting her crystals but I see pink. I can’t resist them – they’re so me!



Elphie: I think it’s time to retire. I know you think I’ve just been goofing off lately, mooching crystals off the others and it’s probably true. Just keep sending my cheque!



Tina: Oh Matthew, this date is really fun.
Matthew: Well it was until Paka’a came in and started singing.
Tina: Don’t mind him. We were here first.
Paka'a: Knock it off, you two! This is a Karaoke club not a blue dive!



Reynaldo: Hey I didn’t know I could sing!
Tina: You can’t but nor can I! Isn’t this silly?
Reynaldo: I got you babe!



Kohei: So you’re dating our daughter?
Reynaldo: Me and my brother Jamie but he’s too old for her so…
Elphie: This is a very strange arrangement.
Reynaldo: Whatever floats Tina’s boat, right?



Josue: You smell of aftershave.
Tina: Oh it’s just my new cologne. I don't think I like it.
Josue: OK, where were we?
Tina: This is already a gold-standard date. Shall we just be friends?
Josue: What?
Tina: Well, it’s my birthday tomorrow and then you’ll be too young for me.
Josue: Wait for me?
Tina: Mama can’t wait – sorry.



Elphie: Just what has been going on?
Tina: I know, I know. I’ve just been sowing some wild oats.



Kohei: Your mother and I think it’s time you settled down. We think it’s great that you’ve been doing all that charity work when you can but we can’t be having all this drama.
Tina: OK, I’ll make a deal.
Elphie: A deal?
Tina: Yes – you see we can’t carry on living in this tiny house with you too sleeping in the tent. What must people think of us?
Kohei: That’s a little snobbish
Tina: Well, it’s my nascent adult trait. Let’s move to a nicer – much nicer place. I know Mum would like it.
Tina: All yes – shopping for new stuff!
Kohie: OK, OK. Time to say goodbye to Sulani, hello Dresden House in Windenberg.
Tina: But only I’m allowed in the gym – you guys never know when to quit.



Elphie: Happy birthday, Tina
Kohei: Let’s eat cake while we wait for our meal.
Collin: Thanks for inviting me along, Gorgeous!
Tina: (giggle)



Tina: Mmm, my Trio of Fish was delicious.
Kohei: My Brisket was spicy
Elphie: I enjoyed my Beets
Tina: What did you have, Collin?
Collin: I don’t know but I think it had meat in it.
Tina: Mum! Did you forget that Collin is a veggie when you ordered? How could you?
Elphie: Oops
Collin: I need to go – and I mean – GO!
Tina: Oh dear! And I had such plans for the rest of the night!

Notes

Elphie got her last element Firaxium but not from any of the metals/crystals given on various sites. I’d got frustrated with it and just sent all the others off too and it came in the next post. Maybe we just overloaded the staff at the Geocouncil and they sent the wrong element back.

I was so careful to order veggie food for Elphie that I totally forgot that Collin was a veggie too! Ah well. Tina’s choice of baby-daddy hasn’t been fully determined yet so… vote now (see previous post) if you’ve got an opinion.

[oshizu]

I was going to respond to your baby daddy question, but it seems the choice has already been made. 

Congrats to Elphie on completing her last requirement!

Oh no. The Candidate

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

for leaving at the altar

is fairly obvious but the baby daddy is still wide open. Tina is a real player and has kept them all available!

Elphie, having instigated Tina's teen engagement, wants her to settle down and is trying to hustle along a marriage and speedy conception!

Your opinion still counts 

[oshizu]

Aaaaah, I see!
My vote for Baby Daddy goes to either Collin (because he's handsome) or Jayceon Delgato (because dark skin and blond hair is an attractive combo!).
Tina and Collin have been friends since forever. I'll be kinda sad if they don't end up together...
Haha, I'm sad that our Rose heirs can't marry until the elderly stage.
I don't know. I might allow mine to live in sin... LOL

By the way, who are Matthew Caliente's parents?
