The Christmas Challenge

After a good night's rest, Elfie was ready to visit some families who needed help with their chores. His first visit was with the Spencer-Kim-Lewis family. When he arrived, he knocked on the door and was greeted by a girl, named Olivia, whom he had met at the library the day before.

Right now, there was only Olivia's grandmother, Vivian Lewis, and herself at home. Olivia explained that both her parents worked, and her grandfather also worked part-time at a food stand. Elfie nodded his head in understanding. Such a big house and everyone worked, no wonder they needed help.

Elfie decided to make a nice refreshing drink for Vivian Lewis and Olivia and went to the bar area. He poured some water into fancy cups and added some fruit slices. Vivian thought the drinks looked so inviting and thanked him for preparing them.

He then set the table...

...and washed some dishes...

...and by the time Olivia's parents, (Alice Spencer-Kim and Eric Lewis) and grandfather, (Dennis Kim) arrived home, everything had been done. They were so grateful for all the work he had accomplished that Alice told him he could help himself to any food in the fridge. What a wonderful and thoughtful family they were. While he was chatting with them, Elfie also mentioned that the library would be holding a Winterfest storytime this Saturday and he hoped that Olivia would be able to make it.

The next house he visited was the Goth house, and he met Mortimer and Bella Goth. He had met their son, Alexander, the day before at the library. Bella told him that normally she handled all the chores herself, but she was expecting and now found it more difficult to do so. (game generated pregnancy). Bella explained that it was an older house and there were a lot of plumbing issues.

Elfie went right to work, and with some upgrade parts that he had found yesterday, he upgraded their toilet with "superior flush".

He then polished their chess sets to perfection...

...and put away some books on the bookshelf.

There was also some yard work to do, and Elfie went out and raked leaves.

When he was done, he didn't smell as fresh as when he started, and Bella said that he could take a nice relaxing bubble bath if he wished, as a thank you for all his hard work. A bubble bath? Oh how delightful!

Before Elfie left, he spoke with Bella and told her about the Winterfest storytime at the library on Saturday and hoped that Alexander could make it.

He then bid them farewell, and headed to a community garden near their house. On the bulletin board, there were also some community jobs that had been listed, and one of them was tending the community garden.

There was also a need for volunteers at the Willow Creek Nursing Home, and he headed there next.

It was quite an eventful day, and as Elfie headed back to the library, he felt so happy about all the sims that he had helped today.

Notes:

Elfie has 0 simoleons, so he couldn't make any meals for anyone, but he could mix up some free water. lol The items he collected yesterday have not been sold, as these are being held for Week 2. He has also started frog breeding.

He had enough reward points to purchase the Always Welcome trait. This allowed him to take a bath/shower and sleep in someone's house without being yelled at. lol
