Jasper and Amber

Sunset Valley Fairies: Amber

Part One: Into the Future

Hi. My name is Amber Meadows. That's me on the right there, in the green dress, in case you were wondering. That handsome guy in the red striped top is my boyfriend Jasper Summerbreeze. Well, OK, you can't see how good-looking he is from this angle, I guess. We've just moved here from Moonlight Falls, mainly just because we wanted a change of scenery.

I'm quite a handy Sim, so I decided to head over to the military base to take a Handiness Basics class. I was the only female there, but that didn't bother me. I've always loved mechanical stuff. I was also the only one with wings, but again I'm not really fazed by that kind of thing. Everyone seemed really kind and welcoming.

My boyfriend, meanwhile, totally lives up to the fairy stereotype and loves gardening. After taking a quick Gardening Basics class, he headed over to the grocery store and purchased a wide range of fruits and veggies. Neither of us are particularly good at cooking, but having top-quality ingredients will always be useful.

Oh yeah, I'm also a martial arts fan too. There weren't any martial arts classes back in Moonlight Falls, and we didn't have the money to go on trips to China, so I was ecstatic when I found this training dummy on Simazon. I felt rather silly just hitting it around, and then it smacked me in the face! Talk about painful! Thank Plumbob no-one was around to witness that... when I attain level 10, it'll be sorry.

Just like in Moonlight Falls, there's a magical Weather Stone here in Sunset Valley! How awesome! Jasper was very excited because, when fairies use it successfully, it summons a reviving sprinkle of flowers that instantly fertilises any plants. MUCH cheaper than buying expensive fertiliser at the store.

I was the one to cook dinner that first evening, although I don't remember what we had. We moved into a pretty fancy house (well, technically it's a bungalow), and the kitchen is well-equipped.

Early the next morning, Jasper was up early to sort the garden out. Whilst I've also got somewhat of a green thumb purely by being a fairy, I don't have the patience Jasper does. OK, fixing broken appliances can take a while, and earning my gold Sim Fu belt will take time too, but at least you're always busy. So much of gardening is just... waiting.

We have a chicken coop here, and I grabbed our first crop of eggs when the sun came up. One of them was a fancy exotic egg! I had no idea chickens could produce those... one of the eggs wasn't very good quality, so I sold it, but the exotic egg makes up for it.

Even though I haven't been in this town long, I'd heard tell of a mysterious metal object that had appeared in the town, near the criminal warehouse. Well, I've always loved mystery, so I went to check it out. Imagine my surprise when this weird dude in a bizarre outfit and with crazy blue hair popped out! He handed me this book which he called the Almanac of Time, and told me that this object was a time portal. Despite some misgivings, I stepped into the blinding light...

"Whoa! What is this place?"
Everything looked so fancy and modern. This was definitely not Sunset Valley. I checked the almanac and found out I'd been transported to this place called Oasis Landing. I also received a notification telling me that I had descendants living here. Considering that I haven't had kids yet, I was DEFINITELY intrigued.

It didn't take me long to get to where my descendants lived. I suppressed a grin as I noticed that they had red hair, like Jasper and me, and they all had fairy wings. I was invited inside by a guy named Franklin.

"Hello, my name's Amber," I said. "I love your house. It looks so sleek and fancy."
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Amber," said Franklin. "You're an ancestor of mine... wow, that's crazy."
"I know. Did you say your surname was Summerbreeze? I'm not even married yet..."
"Well, perhaps you soon will be," Franklin grinned. "Do you have a boyfriend with that name?"
"I do. He's called Jasper."
"That'll be it, then," Franklin replied. "We've learned quite a bit about your time, in our history lessons. Which town are you from?"
"Well, I currently live in Sunset Valley, but originally I was born in Moonlight Falls," I explained.

    Finally, all the kids were off to school, and the house was relatively quiet. I had several hours to myself, and I was trying to decide what to do.

    Jasper, meanwhile, had gone on a seed-hunting trip round town, to find "Special" seeds (whatever those were), as well as picking some wildflowers.

    As it turned out, however, River was the only one not to go to school. (Because of the time when he aged up, he is technically a day younger than the girls, and when I clicked on the 'go to school' button it said School Not In Session. It's happened to me before. Also, I notice that their wings aren't showing in these screenshots, they were still just loading).

    Although he didn't go to school, River still decided to do some educational activities, and went to play with the chess table in our study. His imaginary friend, who he calls Rosie, was with him, although of course I can't see her.

    When she came home from school, Cassia had an opportunity from school to learn the charisma skill. So, she decided to do the modern teen thing and learnt it via a podcast.

    Fleur, meanwhile, fancied making herself an after-school snack. (That's her IF, Anna).

    I decided to sign the kids up for after-school classes. Fleur and Poppy wanted to do ballet, and Hazel and River wanted to do scouting.

    "Hey, Melissa, I've got a new trait chip for you!"
    "Oh, thank you! Which one is it?"
    "Limitless Learning. You can learn new skills just like we Sims can!"
    "That sounds great. Thank you very much!"
    "No problem, Melissa. Maybe one day I'll be skilled enough to give you Sentience!" I said.
    "That would be a dream come true!"

    All the kids coming home from school! Well, the quads at least.

    Hazel is an athletic kid, and even a full day at school clearly didn't dampen her enthusiasm for a kids' workout. Any form of exercise is a good idea, even if it's only indoors.

    It turns out that River is a pretty helpful kid, as he voluntarily recycled all our old newspapers.

    I was on our back deck, reading my bot building book. Finally, after a long time spent reading books and experimenting at the building pod, I finally mastered my third skill, and also achieved my Lifetime Wish. What an amazing feeling! I bought myself a Time Remote Control, and decided to switch the future so that it would be Utopian. I really wanted to see what it would be like. (I also gave her a collection helper, so she can find nanites in Oasis Landing free of charge instead of building them).

    Some information: all the kids have the "loves the outdoors" trait. Cassia's other traits are: natural cook, heavy sleeper and friendly. Fleur's are artistic and lucky. Hazel's are disciplined and athletic. Poppy's are virtuoso and genius. River's are bot fan and genius. All the kids are 2-star celebrities, except for Poppy who's only got 1 star.


  • I took a break from Sims 3 as the game was running really slowly. I now have a new desktop PC, and everything is running much better! The quads have recently become teenagers. Jasper is still working on the garden, hoping to be able to plant Omni plants. Amber recently discovered how to make the Sentience trait chip, so she’s looking to make that soon once she’s got all the components. Both Cassia and River have the “make their imaginary friends real” opportunity. So that’s two rainbow gems to find potentially, unless someone learns to make the potion with the chemistry table first. Both Amber and Melissa are able to get gems through breaking space rock blocks, so there’s that. The family still have a ridiculous amount of money, and I’m trying to decide what to do with it. They own a future lounge I built in the world. I could have them buy a few more venues.
