The Frohman Dynasty. Final Chapter: Immortality Explained [FAILED]

[Orange Iguana]

I recently failed a dynasty for the second time due to my second generation's imaginary friend eating a life fruit. I decided that for my third attempt, I would document it in the form of a story here.

An elder David Frohman watched in horror as he watched his second generation's imaginary friend sink his teeth into a sweet, savory life fruit. His immortal dynasty had come to end. There was no more reason for any of the immortals in his family to live now. All that could be done now was sit back and wait for death.



Suddenly, David's eyes lit up, he had an idea. "I can fix this" he said. David rushed down to the second level of his mansion's basement. There, he removed the curtains on something that defies physics, something that could allow the user to manipulate time itself.



"I never thought I'd have to use this. Come to think of it, I never would have imagined that the consignment shop would carry something like this." It was a time machine! David's plan was simple, he would go back to where he first began and warn his younger self of what would happen. The Keeper of Time would not be able to stop him.



And so, David went back to the past to warn his younger self about imaginary friends, and start his immortal dynasty over from scratch.

---

Meanwhile, back in the past.

Fresh off the bus from Twinbrook, David Frohman has arrived at Sunset Valley at long last with one goal only, to create his very own immortal dynasty.



David: Yes sir, I cannot wait to get started. Now then, I recently heard that there was a rich woman who is single, she'll be the perfect wife!
??: WAIT!!!
David: Huh?



David: Who are you?
??: I'm you, from the future.
Young David: Seriously?
Old David: Your favorite color is yellow, you successfully marry Agnes Crumplebottom, your family abuses the Motive Mobile, and you successfully reach immortality
Young David: Oh cool! Why are you here then?



Old David: Your dynasty will fail. I've come to warn you of how it will fail and what you can do to prevent it.
Young David: How do I mess this up? Do one of my immortals fail to meet the goals? Does one of my non-immortals eat Ambrosia? Do I suddenly go missing when I decide I want to visit China? Do I make a house so big that it becomes impossible for the world to keep up?
Old David: No, your son's imaginary friend will become a real boy and eat a life fruit.
Young David: ...really? That's how I fail this?
Old David: Oh and about Agnes, you don't have to marry her. Your plan worked so well that you ended up having too much spare time and could have gotten away with marrying anyone.
Young David: Should I marry someone else?
Old David: That's up to you, you married Agnes solely for the money from selling her car.
Young David: That was my plan from the start.



Old David: Oh no... the story about me coming to help you was too dramatic! Lighten up! It takes too much effort to write a drama!
Young David: Aren't you immortal?
Old David: I just changed the future telling you what I told you. I don't even know if I die because you failed again and stopped eating Ambrosia or because the dynasty was successful and you got bored. Remember! Don't make imaginary friends real!

Your intro made me chuckle a bit. Good luck! I don't like those stinking IF's anyways. Haha.

[Orange Iguana]

David: Well he did say I didn't have to marry her... but I think I'll do it anyway. Why deviate from the plan? I only have to prevent imaginary friends from becoming real.


Agnes: Greetings, Agnes Crumplebottom, Sunset Valley stylist, at your service. You want highlights? A new wardrobe? Or maybe just want that soul patch of yours shaved off, I'm your woman.
David: But I like my soul patch.
Agnes: Come on inside, I'll make coffee, turn on the stereo, and we can discuss the new you.
David: I'm not here for a makeover, I'm new to town and I want to get to know you.


David: Actually, this room is dark. I hate dark rooms, it's bad for photography.
Agnes: Don't insult my house
David: (That didn't go well)


It took some time but David did manage to at least befriend Agnes Crumplebottom.
David: I'm starving, I'm going to head on over to the gym and have some free food there. Maybe you can come on over to my place sometime?
Agnes: Sure, as long as you don't have any of those dark rooms you hate so much.
David: Trust me, I won't.


David: Hi, want to come over? Oh and can you bring your car with you? It's pretty important.
Agnes: Sorry, I don't feel like coming over right now.
David: *redial* How about now?
Agnes: Sorry, I don't feel like coming over right now.
David: *redial* Now?
Agnes: Sorry, I don't feel like coming over right now.
David: *redial* What about now?
Agnes: Sorry, I don't feel like coming over right now.


Later: At 6 AM
David: *redial* Now?
Agnes: Sure, I'll come over in a little while.


David: Come in, come in, welcome to my humble abode.
Agnes: You weren't kidding when you said there's no dark rooms, you live on an empty--


David: Let's go steady
Agnes: Ok


David: Let's get married
Agnes: Ok


David: Let's have a private wedding right here
Agnes: Ok


David: Man, I am so happy that I sold your car that I feel like a van that would make me never need to eat, sleep, or use the bathroom again could fall out of the sky and into my lot right now.
Agnes: You did WHAT?


David: Well... would you look at that.

That was hilarious!
"Well would you look at that"
Classic!

[MoonsAreBlue]

Ahahahaha. The many Agnes's are all so angry when their cars get sold.

Brief pictureless update

Unfortunately the consignment shop in my current dynasty file was completely broken. I managed to find out that my gardener family in another file was causing this so I loaded up that file, cancelled all of the consignments, saved, then loaded up my dynasty file, still didn't work. When I tried making a new game, it worked again so because I care about my museum, I decided to do a very quick restart.

Not much has changed really, Agnes still wouldn't come over to my house on the first day so I had to marry her on day 2 just like before, I still bought the Motive Mobile right off the bat, I still joined the Business career and yes, Agnes is still mad that I sold her car to fulfill a lifetime wish. The main difference is now the consignment shop is working again which means I can get an early camera for museum purposes... that and she didn't become the town stylist this time (not that it mattered, she changed careers immediately in the bugged file).

What can I say? I want my immortals to have the works in their museum. Never melting ice sculptures, a classic vignette photograph of them doing an awesome pose, and of course, a crystal clear painting of their face.

[ratchie]

Your intro was so funny,you are a very witty writer.

Why would you want anything less? Sometimes masterpiece paintings come out blurry, which I find odd, but I'd much rather have a clear picture, too. Good luck on your restart! I have crossed fingers that you don't have anymore troubles.

I totally agree. I sell blurry masterpieces for clear paintings that aren't even brilliant. (I find it helps to have walls down, so you can get lots of light )

Now that the Frohmans never need to eat, sleep, or shower ever again, David decided to go live in the library for a few days and learn everything there is to know about handiness. Agnes on the other hand, is a frugal sim and decided to do something she's always wanted to do. What would that be? Why join the Architectual Designer profession and make full use of that 40% discount on everything in build/buy mode while never actually doing a renovation.

Agnes did eventually go to the library to read a book about putting seeds in holes. Would you believe that the most common mistake gardeners make is that they put their seeds in a basement and not in dirt? That's what the book says. As for David, the townies will just have to deal with not being able to use the library's computer to play The Sims 3 on the lowest graphical settings while still getting only 5 frames per second.


The next day, Agnes decided to check up on her sister at the local consignment shop, which is rotated the wrong way. What's up with Sunset Valley's construction workers? To her surprise, she found that her sister works here.

Agnes: Cornelia! You got a job here?
Cornelia: I sure did, good to see you Agnes, how's life as a stylist?
Agnes: I quit, I got married to someone who immediately sold my car and then became an architect for the discounts. I don't intend to do any renovations whatsoever.
Cornelia: Sounds like the grumpy, frugal Agnes I know.
Agnes: You wouldn't happen to have a camera for sale, would you?
Cornelia: I don't know, my inventory is so cluttered that I have no idea if I even have one. If customers would buy stuff, I might find one in my stock.
Agnes: I can arrange that

[Author's Note: I refuse to write how much money I spent getting that Hikon QX40di Gladiator camera to appear and how long it took to individually sell all those townie paintings, books, and inventions.]


A few days later, back at the empty lot which is now home to a painting easel and a sculpting studio, Agnes brought up a small concern to David.

Agnes: Why is there a painting easel and a sculpting studio here?
David: I'm not a snob but I do want people to remember me when I go. I was hoping I could get a portrait of myself, a photograph of myself, and a sculpture of myself at all ages. I was hoping you could do it.
Agnes: No way, not after you sold my car and even if you didn't do that, there's no way I would be able to do all that by myself even if you let me borrow the food, bed, toilet, shower, social life, and shuffleboard table you call a van.
David: I can always get another person to live here and have him at least do the sculptures.
Agnes: I'm still not thrilled with this.
David: Look, once you meet the guy I have in mind, you won't be able to say no. Why's that? You're getting a brand new car.


David: Hi, I'm David Frohman, what's your name?
??: Nick Alto

I love how you have such a funny aproach to this.
That's really smart about having Agnes get you that discount. I never knew that about architects!

[MoonsAreBlue]

Wow, you've used such intelligent tricks here at the beginning. Selling Agnes's car is definitely the easiest way to achieve Swimming in Cash. There's your founder's LTW out of the way on Day 2! Plus, the thought has never even crossed my mind to use the architectural discount for anything. A tip of the hat to you and your brilliant ideas!

[Orange Iguana]

Random fun fact, the ONLY reason David has Ambitious is for an extra 5,000 happiness points from doing Swimming in Cash. That's it. I wanted to get that Motive Mobile as soon as possible.

Even more brilliant! Just remember to take it on vacation with you. It's a must for me.

[Orange Iguana]

David: Actually, would you look at the time? I have to get to work, see you later.
Nick: Bye
David: (On second thought, maybe he isn't the best choice. I got a better idea)


David: Hi, I'm David Frohman, you must be Bebe Hart, pleased to meet you.
Bebe: Not another nobody. Look, I'm a celebrity, you're not worth my time.
David: Lefty tighty, righty loosey
Bebe: Ooooh, a handyman. You're an alright guy, let's talk.


The next day, at the swimming pool
David: Say, you want to come live at my house? It's a technological wonderland
Bebe: Ew, no, I hate technology, people call me a technophobe and I'm proud of it.
David: Did I say technological wonderland? I meant to say we're amish.
Bebe: That's better.

Back at the Frohman household, Bebe immediately went to work sculpting. She even built a fence and gate to keep people out. Only she will be allowed to sculpt. Agnes on the other hand...


Agnes: Where's my car?
David: You seemed like more of a bike person so I got you a motorcycle, tadah!
Agnes: I want my car.
David: Give it a try, I tuned the exhaust so that you'll move much faster than that sloppy jalopy you called a car.
Agnes: It was worth $85,000!


Agnes: WHOA!!!


Agnes: .........I forgive you.
David: I knew you'd like it. Want to give painting a try?
Agnes: I'm so happy, that I no longer want to be an illustrious author. I want to live in the lap of luxury
David: That's nice, want to get to painting now?
