Too many toddlershttps://abload.de/img/03.04.20_23-05-467mj3s.pngThis is Connor Anderson. Connor already participated in a Seven Toddlers challenge, where he gained notoriety for reading to the kiddos with his back turned to them all the time. I don’t generally create new sims, but instead re-use old ones that I’m attached to in numerous parallel universes. Connor is the oldest of three brothers: Connor, Sigstein and Amadeus Anderson. Add in Connor’s elderly father and we have a full set of sims for the scenario.https://abload.de/img/03.04.20_23-05-47wcjya.pngMy game is not updated, so this may not be possible under real scenario rules:First I pulled Hank and the triplets from my library. I aged the triplets down and then designated another copy of Connor as their father to create a grandfather/grandparent relationship between Hank and the boys. Then after entering the game I deleted adult Connor to prevent him from swinging by all the time.https://abload.de/img/03.04.20_23-05-48rjks3.pngThat leaves us with Hank and the triplets.Their revised backstory:The triplets’ parents went to a weekend trip to Sulani, after the grandfather, Hank, had agreed to take the little tykes in. However, Saturday evening, halfway into their trip, Hank receives a call from the children. They reported that the volcano has erupted and the smoke in the atmosphere prevents planes from starting. Hank will have to watch over the triplets for an unforeseeable time. Could be a day, or a week… two at most…Caught in a Donald Duck & nephews situation, Hank cusses a bit, but that doesn’t clear the air over Mua Pel’am any faster.The scenario starts Sunday at 8 a.m.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_19-58-53jnktj.pngHank’s house (from the gallery) is not equipped for child care at all. He cleaned out the garage/workshop to make room, but right now it is just a dreary, empty room.The triplets move in:https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_20-09-472bjhq.pngIn front we have SIGSTEIN, the middle child, and with a FUSSYness matching his birth order. One day Siggy will show them all!!!In blue we have the baby, AMADEUS, normally a proverbial bundle of joy and very carefree, but in his parents’ absence he has become CLINGY.And finally we have CONNOR, the firstborn, who is also secretly Hank’s favorite. Connor is a CHARMER chatterbox who wants to do well in everything, but unlike Siggy he doesn’t necessarily need to be the best.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_20-14-54gnke5.pngFirst order of business: Order a ton or so of sand and have the delivery truck empty it in the backyard. This will get the children started on their imagination skill, but it will also sneakily solve our money problem. Hank is an elder fresh out of CAS, and although I gave him a job as critic, that won’t cover our expenses. But if the boys “accidently” dig up seashells… well, Hank paid for the whole load, so the seashells are his now, too, right?Except for the very first one, that Siggy dug up. That one is special, therefore it goes onto Hank’s desk where it can radiate its Inspired aura while he writes or cooks.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_20-14-55zmk0f.pngSpeaking of cooking: In the rotational save Hank is a fast food junkie. He enjoys eating, but hates cooking. So I thought I could be clever and bake some brownies. The game didn’t let it fly, it flagged the activity as cooking and slapped Hank with a tense mood.That was the point where I invested in a planter box and a packet of veggie seeds. They’ll be needed anyway to keep the tots in a good mood.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_20-25-18lwkkl.pngTotally not the preferred grandson, Connor then received some lessons in critical thinking via the good old Memory game.I found thinking to be the hardest skill to raise. In regular play my sims get thinking skill from a wading pool, but I don’t want to use cc here. The toddler tablet is too slow, the same goes for “What is this”, and building blocks require Thinking 2, so that leaves only the cards? Unless I’m overlooking something.Tip: - Always cancel the flashcards interaction two seconds before it would end normally. That way you can start again immediately.- Have the toddler ask the caregiver, never the other way around. I had forgotten about that and Connor got angry for a while from “getting bossed around”.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_20-28-04geji4.pngHank then had to practice writing for his part time job, so he let the triplets play in the sandbox again.Sigstein and Amadeus immediately started arguing over the bucket.Siggy: “Itsa MINE!”https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_20-28-43j5kda.pngAmadeus: “Okay, here, HAVE IT!” and proceeds to douse his brother with sand.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_20-29-275ej45.pngA couple of minutes - and a couple of sharp barks from Connor – later, the two are best friends again and even helpfully fill each others’ bucket with sand.

https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_20-37-145ujal.pngSpeaking of being helpful: Salim Benali left this tray of grilled halibut out in the open, with his back to it. Now if we were baaaad sims, we could just steal the fish. But Hank is a retired cop, so let’s say Salim heard of his troubles and wanted to help out. The halibut is of course a present!https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_20-41-58brjvm.pngWith toddlers in the house, all shedules are voided. The boys had already been sleeping when Hank woke them up again for their fishie meal. I love how Amadeus doesn’t want to look at what he’s eating. Also Connor looking impishly at Sigstein as if he knew that he'll mainly get fed by veggies from the inventory and could hardly believe his luck to get a real meal now.On a sidenote, all three are full adults in my rotational save, and not just that, I created them as YAs, so never saw them as toddlers before.I hadn’t anticipated how effin’ cute they’d be as toddlers.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_20-42-26kdk84.pngAnd then it is back to bed again! Meanwhile Hank takes a nap only, he still has some cleaning up to do during the night.Also notice that he must have hired someone to paint the garage with a kid-friendly pattern and spread out carpets. It still doesn’t look cosy, let alone like home, but a little less uninviting.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-19-113oj9x.pngMonday passes without any special events. By nightfall Hank remembers that he still has to interview a food vendor for his critic job. It’s also a good opportunity to stock up on rare produce.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-21-49nsk8w.pngHank: “If only you could ask them nicely, I’m sure the vendors would gladly sell you ice cream and hot dogs. All the good stuff your parents are so stingy with!” (The Marketstalls mod requires Communication 3, and none of the trio has that yet.)If Hank had his way, he’d spoil the triplets rotten with unhealthy food. But he feels that doing this too often is unfair towards the actual parents. Especially now that they are sitting in an airport at Sulani, waiting to get reunited with their children.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-21-50dej88.pngThe triplets in their party outfits: Connor is the bear(dog?), Siggy the wolf and Amadeus the fox.Hank buys a spooky candy for each of the boys. He briefly thinks how few basic skills his grandkids have mastered so far. Perhaps Cole and Kara are a bit too lenient. Sure, children need to be children, but may Hank should teach them just a little bit…? He’ll have to think about it tomorrow.If he lives to see tomorrow, that is. As you can see, at this point Hank was close to Death by Toddler from all the interactions. Time to put everyone into bed and let them sleep off their moodlets.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-30-54gdkbd.pngTuesday morning:Hank: “You gave the bathroom floor a bath, so it’s only fair if I in turn give each of you a bath, right?”Also Hank: BACKACHE! This used to be easier when Cole was little…

https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-48-071rjow.pngAmadeus is often regarded as the little brother of the twins, despite them being triplets and his only unique trait that sets him apart from Connie and Siggy being his grey eyes. Truth is, the boy has come to rely on his baby status. Hank is determined to remedy this.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-48-281akre.pngHank: “See? From up here you can see all of Detroit! Isn’t that cool?”Amadeus: “Yeah. I wanna live in a biiiiiig towah downtown!”https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-48-44cdjnl.pngHank: “Okay. But to get downtown, you’ll have come down here first. Carefully… you can do it!”https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-49-176rj44.pngAmadeus closes his eyes.“I can do this! I can do this! (But nobody said I had to watch myself doing it.)”I notice a pattern here? Okay, this is only the second time he looks away from something awful, but still. I’ll have to keep that quirk in mind when I play him again in the real timeline.https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-49-36j7ja8.pngWhoooooooosh!https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-49-53d8jqs.pngHank: “See? You did it! I knew you could!”Amadeus: “It was so high!”https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-50-48usju6.pngHank: “And now you’ll go even higher!”Amadeus: “Hahaha!”https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-51-13hwj3d.pngHank: “Over the treetops! Touch the clouds! And the glitched festivals that hang in the sky!”(Ooops, sorry, wrong save. But I really do have that in San Myshuno. And also floating apartment shells.)https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_21-51-41vgjwt.pngAmadeus: “Wromm! Wromm! I’m a plane!”Hank: “I’m a…”Amadeus: “You're that ship where fighter planes land on. Why can’t mom’s and dad’s plane just land on one and they come home by ship!”Hank: “You miss them, huh? Between you and me – I do, too.”https://abload.de/img/08.11.21_22-00-46c3jex.pngEvening routines in the garage nursery… only they are not routines yet and hopefully will never become routines! There has to be a way out of this, and soon!

https://abload.de/img/screenshot30918bj6a.pngConnor was the first to get four skills to level 3: Movement, Thinking, Imagination and Communication.https://abload.de/img/screenshot30920pknk.pngTwo and a half hours later Amadeus reached level 3 in Movement, Imagination, Communication and Potty.https://abload.de/img/screenshot30939tkbe.pngFussy Sigstein took the longest. At 6:30 in the morning of Wednesday, he got the same skills as Connor to level 3.https://abload.de/img/screenshot3094mfjrp.pngAnd finally Hank got to Parenting 5 and level 2 in his career.Winning the scenario means that Ohan’ali airport has cleared flights at 6:31 am Detroit time. I estimate the flight to take ten hours, so by evening the triplets will be re-united with their parents.I’ll play through the final day, pull Cole and Kara from the library and then post again with the Happy End.

Skilling is over, back to actually playing the family! Also: I can use mods and cc objects again without fear of them giving an unfair boost B) https://abload.de/img/09.11.21_21-08-22vzk4m.pngEarly in the morning a phonecall comes in: Mom and dad are coming home!https://abload.de/img/09.11.21_21-22-42dpkq9.pngThe family celebrates with Hank's extra gooey mac 'n cheese.So how do we spend the rest of the day?

Mua Pel’am was covered under a dust bowl and would remain like this for weeks.

Being an adventurer at heart, Kaleo decided to stay on the island. But she set aside her goal if harvesting pearl oysters for money, and instead joined the conservationist career, in the hopes of being able to aid the environment recover. The conservationists were now battling human-made problems and the aftermath of the volcanic eruptions at the same time.

https://64.media.tumblr.com/70a74a2fe8897cadfe52e69d4e7d42d4/285990c1b4a6b9eb-68/s540x810/dce6fa87a91ec5c1aca612e55693741b771f4a9d.png

Kaleo: “Oh, come now, this is getting ridiculous!”

https://64.media.tumblr.com/0f4210012e2fcaf135235e34acbbc2b8/285990c1b4a6b9eb-58/s540x810/0c0bda0031abba52be5d3be502b7a4938bf65171.png

All she wanted was to score a date with a co-worker for love day the next day. But the volcano had other ideas.

https://64.media.tumblr.com/d49abd654a45e9e066b8eb555f7d013c/285990c1b4a6b9eb-15/s540x810/42ac363d755ffe4d6bd4d7785385f865a59ae890.png

Kaleo went to Ohan’ali for love day anyway. She even met a handsome man that she exchanged flowers with. Unfortunately he was pretty resistent to opening a romance bar. Maybe he just wasn’t into women. Or it wasn’t the right time for romance.

In any case relaxing in her home town recharged Kaleo’s mental batteries. She was now ready to resume her pearl diving in addition to her auxiliary conservationist job.

Due to the circumstances it took Kaleo six days to fulfill the scenario goal of reaching career level 3. Next I’ll do the other goal (earn 25K).

https://64.media.tumblr.com/40cae0251647157d8cc4677181fe436b/77d1e01018e8bca7-0f/s540x810/78ada7a3b7d1fb8db5781e835f931893b4836230.png

Spring hadn’t fully turned into summer yet. Returning home to her hut on the hill, Kaleo found things there... as usual, actually.

https://64.media.tumblr.com/90d8fa5cc8b5e0b7284f25dce96f5bb7/711d595840278107-de/s540x810/add44994246b1de0cf129da709c7bbd73eb60ab1.png

Poor Kaleo witnessed six outbreaks in the thirteen days she stayed at Mua Pel’am. The time stamps on my screenshots were:

0:36
0:43
0:49 (that was a different one from the 0:43)
1:06
1:27
1:52

(Yes, I’m a nightowl. My natural bedtime is 3 a.m., so it was late, but not as late as the timestamps would suggest for a diurnal person.)

Kaleo Mahi’ai - scenario results

https://64.media.tumblr.com/743f1f49b8dad7a9ce7f6a4bd97da805/ef930ced3bf0cd01-2a/s540x810/6dc71dd72d965a1abee84330bb14a0d2668051de.png

Kaleo completed her scenario goals at the last day of summer. She also completed the Collector aspiration and made good progress in Fabulously Wealthy. Reward traits shown are before spending the bonus points from New Year, New Hustle (and Vegetarian is modded to not take up a trait slot). The Independent bonus trait I bought her because deep down Kaleo suspects that she somehow caused the volcano's unrest. For this reason she'll avoid people as to not spread her bad luck/curse. But one could also argue that all the solitary pearl diving taught her to get by on her own.

Also pictured are the objects Kaleo will take to "the big city" (haven't decided on a name/location/backstory yet), along with the penguin TV, 26,000 simoleons in cash and whatever the hut is still worth (around 15K ?).

Kaleo will lose her job upon leaving Sulani, and will have to do with her skills (Fitness 8, a little Handyness and Cooking).

She also slimmed down considerably from all the diving, so the first order of business in her new home will be to scout all the dining places to get curvy again.

New leaves in the wind - The Tanaka cousins

Aimi and Yukio are “that cousin” to each other. They will go to great lengths explaining that they got their surname from different ancestors. It’s a common name, after all. But that doesn’t change the fact that they are on the same family tree and on occasion are expected to share the same continent.

Aimi and Yukio have arrived early at the extended family’s vacation home in Yukimatsu for the New Year’s celebrations. It’s awkward, but they are confident that the rest of the Tanakas will join them soon, resulting in other sims to interact with and being able avoid each other. Too bad a snowstorm is coming, that will prevent all travel from and to Yukimatsu...

The Tanakas’ scenario is Survive the Holidays. It starts them out as enemies with a festering grudge and can result in them either becoming friends or enemies with benefits. The scenario is also bugged. Before they haven’t solved it, the sims cannot go through a loading screen. That’s why the snowstorm backstory (and the game was kind enough to send me an actual one without the need to cheat it in).

So what drove the Tanaka cousins apart ever since their toddler days?

https://64.media.tumblr.com/db77347a800750a5a47591a65ea60ebb/48c4927a0ad95d16-02/s540x810/d12c88c0fdd1e4aea7560d51e86cd2734618be9c.png

Is it the fact that Yukio is a cat person, but Aimi a dog person? That they both like turquoise, but she calls it blue, while calls it green? Her preferring the ski over the snowboard, and him exactly the other way around? Or that she could listen to traditional music and zen music for hours, while he immerses himself in Tween and S-Pop, exactly the music the other cannot stand?

https://64.media.tumblr.com/a94db264c9f7ef2aa7b58c3452a73c40/48c4927a0ad95d16-19/s540x810/468d26145ed088adf83c1ebdbb1bb08739fb4aad.png

Yes to all, and the fact that both have an outgoing trait (Bro respectively Self assured) worsens the situation, because they just won’t give each other a break. They actively seek the other out to pester them.

It’s not as if the Tanakas didn’t have anything at all in common. Sadly the thing they do have in common is their bad luck (Clumsy trait):

New Year’s Eve and the Tanakas are still at each other’s throats.

It started out harmless, by Aimi deciding to fulfill the Spa Tradition I put by doing yoga, while Yukio retreated to the bathroom to take a mud bath.

But then she found the mochi and obliterated them all.

Aimi: “Yeah, sorry, I thought it was a group serving! Only after I grabbed a share did I realize it was a single and by then it was too late.”

True story, by the way. Also, according to the game they both had a wonderful holiday, because they checked all the goals. But the true test will come tomorrow, when they are supposed to visit a shrine together for good fortune in the new year.

At New Year’s Eve the snow storm was raging full force. In the afternoon it was already as dark as night. Around 20:00 the Tanakas decided to light some fireworks, fully expecting to be snowed in by midnight.

Aimi and Yukio wanted to be anywhere else, with anybody else.

And for the first time in probably their whole life, they didn’t harass the other over a show of weakness, but instead pretended not to have seen it. It was the closest to showing comfort to the other that they had ever come to.

After daring each other to climb to the highest point they could reach in this weather, the Tanakas played with sparklers.

By now the gondola station had closed. The building was still open, but no traffic was going in or out anymore. It was either spending the night inside the top hill station - or going down one of the slopes.

Time to settle snowboard or ski superiority once and for all!

Yukio (what he wants to say): “Hello and well met, random passerby! If you could just pick me up and pull me home lying on my snowboard, that sounds like the start of an awesome romance!”

Yukio (out loud): Whimper...

Becca Clarke wasn’t even cold hearted or absorbed into her private thoughts. No, the storm was that bad that it drowned out Yukio’s cries for help. Focused on each next step, Becca simply didn’t notice he was there.

Meanwhile Aimi couldn’t decide whether her ski poles were a help or a liability right now.

For a moment I thought she’d make it...

...but then she arrived same as Yukio had before her.

Somehow they had to make it home... maybe the sparklers will help with seeing something?

The local hospital knows about snowburn, of course, but I bet the doctors didn’t expect to have to treat the victims of a snow storm for actual burn marks.

When they had their bruises and burns treated at the local hospital, the doctors couldn’t help to notice Aimi’s and Yukio’s festering grudge. They suggested to get a therapy animal and the Tanakas accepted.

It was a small miracle that the pet shelter representative made it to the vacation home in the storm the next day already.

Yukio: “So the evaluation process consists of you looking into a future cube to find out if we will be good pet owners?”

Naomi: “Yay!”

You can probably guess how it ended. They got TWO therapy animals. Conflicting ones.

Shaska is a clingy, lazy little furball, while Zoe is adventurous and a gluttonous big furball. (Default names subject to change.)

I need to have fireplaces more often! (At least in dog households.)

Snowed in and with two pets, the Tanaka cousins now HAD to make things work.

Interestingly Yukio’s Festering Grudge against Aimi is fading and already at half strength only, despite me cycling as equally as possible between them for initiating interactions. For some reason he is more open to the idea of making peace than Aimi is.

After the snowstorm I had bought them them both cold resistance and assigned a liking for cold temperatures. So they started talking about the weather. A lot. Every second conversation topic from the pie menu was “Enthuse about frost” and each use shaved off a large chunk of the red relationship bar.

(Another option that requires no contact might be Volunteer together, but I save that for a different household, the Find Love after a Breakup ex-couple.)
