The Zeezoob family just immigrated to Earth, settling in a small house in Copperdale. As soon as they got the basics unpacked, Mara and Oliver's dads ran out for a quick errand "to meet someone from work." It's almost nighttime and they haven't come back. Mara and Oliver are excited to get to know more about Earth, but they're starting to worry.
So as not to make the scenario too easy, Mara has no interest in painting, gardening, writing books, or collecting. She can't wait to dig into the typical Earth teen life with parties, friends and mischief. She has the Live Fast teen aspiration.
@mightysprite Father Winter was very generous. Mara shouldn't worry too much about the drink. Sure it showed up mysteriously, late at night, but it's vegetarian-safe so it must be harmless...right?? So sad that the Bella and Mortimer have a problem with Mara being an alien.
@mightysprite The howling wolf on the can makes think you’re right. I’ve never seen it in my game but if I’m with my sims I never let them eat quick meals. I’m scared they’ll get the explosive cereal bowl of death.
Mara is having trouble selling an outfit, for the first time. At least it makes for a charming business headshot.
Thursday was not a very eventful day, mostly because Mara went to school without me, so that Oliver could stay home and do science all day. His birthday is tomorrow so this is our last day to finish the child aspiration required by the scenario
"What happened, couldn't figure out the Earth plumbing at home?" "I was working out, you monster, because I look forward to taking you down. Maybe later today. Watch out."
At lunchtime, Mara noticed that the other students seemed chilly. Some were blue. And not because they had that lovely skintone naturally. It was cold outside and no one had thought to turn the heat on.
The hall started to fill up. There was Ava Harjo the lunch lady heading in for her shift. And there was Wolfgang, picking on her. Something about her clothes. https://i.postimg.cc/mgQnw24Q/05-w-insults-a.png
Mara expected the lady to yell at Wolfgang like any teacher would, but instead she sort of started to crumple. Mara was a little disgusted with both of them... but she knew which one deserved to be beaten up. Right then. https://i.postimg.cc/s2m0k6vx/06-m-sticks-up.png
"I kinda feel guilty." "Don't. He deserved it. Some people just need one good punch and then they'll leave you alone."
That afternoon, Mara encountered an unexpected question on her Language Arts exam. She was doing okay speaking Simlish, but sometimes the grammar was completely unpredictable to her. What was a participle again? https://i.postimg.cc/QMYvBYsP/ace-exam1.png
Where do you take a loner on a date, besides a deserted bench, or your house? You can take a loner to a karaoke bar that has private rooms! You can even sit in separate seats if your date needs to. https://i.postimg.cc/T1zkVBH7/13-date-loner-1.png
Their room was invaded by some guy and his dog. "Uurgh," said Rohan. "Just ignore them and they will go away," said Mara. "AND I HOPE THEY DO SOON, BECAUSE THIS ONE IS STANDING A LITTLE BIT TOO CLOSE." https://i.postimg.cc/nLdf4cK3/15-date-loner-3.png
Oliver's birthday party was that night. Mara was excited about giving him a fun party. Cassandra came over to help get ready. "That cake is so cute! And look at you being all domestic in the kitchen! I thought you hated cooking?" https://i.postimg.cc/qMnrPr07/16-party-prep-extra.png
"I hate it with the violence of a million meteors. But I love my brother." "Those cookies you brought over for Winterfest weren't bad." "I don't get it, what was going on with your parents that day? What was going on with you?" https://i.postimg.cc/Ls4MgZPq/17-party-prep1.png
"My parents aren't so big on aliens. I'm sorry. I was trying to shield you and I guess I should have prepared you better instead. I don't even really know the whole story there." Mara sighed. "At least you see me differently." "You're hard to miss. Great dress, by the way. You look gorgeous." https://i.postimg.cc/XJpSQSQ4/18-party-prep-compliment.png
Wow! Mara went all pink and glowy for the second time in one afternoon.
Mara was baffled. I was very, very baffled. "Well, Kiyoshi is invited to this party and he'll be here any--" "I have to go to the bathroom," Cassandra said and scurried upstairs.
As completely weird as that conversation turned out to be, it was shaping up to be a fun party
Huh?! I wasn't done! I did not realize that Oliver aging up would cause the scenario to end.
I guess we lost. But I have to say, I never would have won a scenario where you have to earn 15,000 simoleons in the length of time of a child life stage on normal lifespan, without resorting to gardening or painting.
So let's keep going, shall we? The remaining scenario goals are: Earn S15,000, and teen gets A in high school. And I'm not done with their story yet.
I mean, if aliens steal your parents, they don't just return them because you get older, do they?
Every party on Sixam has a couple of grandpas who sit in a corner, watch the youngsters dance, and maunder on about the old days. Mara invited Mr. Lum and Father Winter hoping that they would fill this role. They did not disappoint. https://i.postimg.cc/9FG3xBtR/22-party-tai-and-father-winter.png
Mara wondered if maybe the reason Cassandra wasn't getting along with Kiyoshi might be that Cassandra had feelings for someone else? You look gorgeous It was suddenly clear to Mara that she had to tell Cassandra about her crush. Maybe it would help Cassandra with whatever was going on. Of course it would help! It might be awkward for a minute but don't friends always tell each other the truth? It was just on the tip of her tongue when-- https://i.postimg.cc/MH2PRhLs/party-on-tip-of-tongue-to-reveal-crush.png
Mara turned around and saw Kiyoshi's movie-star face winking at her. Not Cassandra. Her. Her stomach dropped. For a moment she thought she'd have to make a mad dash for the bathroom https://i.postimg.cc/rwJBTFHq/24-party-awkward.png
She didn't get more than a few steps when Cassandra grabbed her "You can't do that! I can't believe you!" "I wasn't the one who did it!" "You encouraged him!" "Hey, I think everyone here could take a deep breath and chill," said Yuki. https://i.postimg.cc/59CD0mr7/27-party-you-cant-do-that.png
She stormed out. Mara was going to go after her but she was distracted by Rohan and Kaori, who seemed to be sharing a moment by the door. It looked like an intense and very personal conversation. https://i.postimg.cc/KzdVfK1D/25-party-rohan-and-kaori.png
Mara felt lonely and sad. But it was her brother's night. She put a smile on her face and danced the night away.
@mightysprite Good for Mara standing up to Wolfgang. Too bad it came to that though. I like the way she handled the stranger invading her space. I feel like there's something else that caused Cassandra's outburst. I have a theory, and if the story goes on long enough, it may be true...or not.?
I feel like Cassandra was upset because she felt Mara encouraged the flirting, and secretly wished Mara had flirted with her instead. Maybe Cassie feels something, but she's not sure she's ready to say it out loud. That inner turmoil and a moment of jealousy boiled over.
Congrats Oliver, on...becoming 'an' brilliant child! XD I missed the notification typo before you pointed it out. I hope Mara punches that guy. She's trying to do school and look after her brother and everything else, give her a break blond dude! Omg yes she sparked him out, amazing XD I agree with DaniRose's theory on Cassandra. I'm glad you're carrying on with the story even after completing the scenario!
