@Jendowoz0612 Just a little update on Olivia's progress so far. The Spa is finished! But, I went way overboard in building it. I love building, but have never built a community venue before now. I'm wondering why since it was so much fun! Unfortunately, Olivia can't pay for it yet and claim it as her own. The total cost including the lot price is 362,392 simoleons! o.O lol I can't bring myself to change anything with it to bring down the cost, it's beautiful to me the way it is now. I'll take some screenshots with her on the lot in Summer. You might've seen the poll I posted about landscaping for it with a few exterior screenshots.
I'm holding off on interior screenshots because the lighting needs to be adjusted and we can't do that in build mode. That's one of my biggest pet peeves about building in this game. Plus, the aquariums need fish and can't be stocked in build mode either. I'd just send her now to do those things, but it needs to be Summer for the best screenshots. Some of the views are just stunning from build mode, but that pesky white line gets in the way. Grr!
It's Thursday of the second week of Winter so Spring will arrive in just three days. Olivia's just taken her second Potion of Youth so she has plenty of time to get crackin' on making tubs to pay for this behemoth. When I went back to her after finishing the Spa, she had a little over 110K simoleons. She has almost 230K now so it shouldn't be too much longer before she has enough. She earns around 15-20K a day between building tubs and gardening.
The total will go up when she's able to replant her Spring plants sitting in household inventory and the bees wake up and start making more honey. Olivia's still breeding her pair of frogs too, when I remember she has them. lol I keep forgetting. o.O Her goal is 400K so she'll have extra to update her own little cabin to accommodate children.
Speaking of children, Olivia has no choice now but to wait until she's rescued to find a partner. I feel kind of sad she let Akira get away, he kept calling her constantly to do things together. He never visited the lot though which I thought was odd. Anyway, he's an elder now. When she took the second Potion of Youth I figured he was close to aging up and contemplated moving him in and having her use some of her reward points (she has a ton) to buy him one and age him back to the beginning of the Adult stage. But I waited too long. *sigh*
Any eligible premades are dropping like flies now and the game isn't generating any Young Adults for some reason. Once the Spa opens, the game will generate NPCs for the Spa objects and my hope is that one of them will be a YA male. The game is notorious for giving elders those positions though, so cross your fingers! :)
Happy Simming! <3
EDIT: Oh! I've been meaning to ask for clarification on this rule for a long time:
"No moodlet or other cheats are allowed."
What exactly does that entail?
Thus far the only reward traits Olivia's bought and used from her satisfaction points are two Potions of Youth, that's it. I wasn't sure if this rule included the other rewards or not, but the rules indicated POY were allowed. I've been tempted to buy the Marketable trait because her tubs would double in value, at least. But I didn't want to break any rules so held off buying it.
Also, can she 'study' a fossil for the focusing moodlet? Lastly, the bees retrieved a postcard when she sent them to 'fetch a gift', can she enable the Inspired aura on it for the cooking skill?
