@unseenlarks, just a quick reply here since I'm busy discovering Jungle Adventure!   I just wanted to give you pics of the avocado tree, a single avocado, and a Sim eating an avocado, like you requested. 😇  Sorry for the bad lighting!   I will reply to your last post and update you more on Puerto Llamante and the Omiscan temples later.  I've been playing so long, I forgot to eat! 😮 🤭😳😃

AVOCADOOOOOOO!!!! ❤️

@CMeki& @unseenlarks , I'm so glad y'all liked the avocado pictures from the Jungle Adventure GP that I posted!  Avocados are so popular now because we have discovered how good they are for you -- a shame I don't like them. 😳 The game also has black beans to harvest and "Emotion Berries"!  I finally found an emotion berry tree after extensive searching! Haven't used them yet though.  The black beans come in pods just like real beans!  In the inventory they look like darker versions of mesquite pods or mimosa pods.  But the plant doesn't look like either one of those.  I need to Google a picture of a real black bean plant, now that I think about it!

No, the Sim in the picture eating the Avocado isn't me!  I'm not as muscular as she is and her hair is darker.  I didn't even make this Sim because I made a large Sim family to try out all the new CAS options, but didn't want to travel with them yet, at least not on my first trip!  Its too hard to take care of a toddler and 2 young kids in while exploring the jungle for the first time!  So, after I made the large family, I just downloaded some Adventure Sims from the Gallery ... I think they were favorited by Maxis.  They each have one of the 2 different new Aspirations that came with this pack! @unseenlarks, the Sim eating the avocado must have enjoyed it because she got a good buff from it -- I think she is just contemplating whether it is a fruit or a vegetable! 😉  She needs to realize that all fruits are vegetables, but not all vegetables are fruits! 🤨

LOL! Simlish phonetics! 😃  That's a good one!  

Yes, the volcano project that came with the Parenthood GP does remind me of a tamer version of the one on the Brady Bunch!  (Cool that you guys called it the Brady Tribe in your country!) The episode in question is called "Today, I Am a Freshman" from 1972.  The plot is about Marcia primarily, but Peter and the volcano steal the show!  The volcano's best part is at the end.  You should be able to find it on the internet.  Every time my Sim kids bring home a volcano for their school project, I think of this episode and it makes me laugh! 😃:eahigh_file:  There are several other projects in the game, but the volcano is my favorite!  (I even made one in the 4th grade!) It's a good thing for our Sims that Selvadorada doesn't' have an active volcano! 👿

I have a list of the foods and drinks at the food stands in the marketplace at Puerto Selvadorada:

Drinks:

Horchata

Yerba Mate

Espuma Agria

Food:

Arepa Rellena con Perico

Arepa de Pabellón

Empanadas de Verde

Pastel Palmito

Platanos Fritos

Pastel de Camarão

Buñuelos

The Pastel de Camarão must be from Brazil since they use tildes over their vowels, which is Portuguese. 😉

However, none of the times when my Sims ate at the food stall did they "learn" the recipe like they do with other exotic foods from City Living or even the seafood dishes from Cats & Dogs!  I don't know if this is as intended, or if it is a glitch in my game, or if it is a bug for others as well. 🤔

I love the head scarves that come with this pack also!  I've worn these off and on over the years, of varying widths.   But right before this pack was announced, I bought 4 new ones ... 2 with solid colors and 2 with patterns! :eahigh_file:

@CMeki, the very first time I had a Sim open a treasure chest, he turned into a skeleton!  🥳

Here are some pictures from the game:  

The various recipes build culture awareness. I would have loved to be able to learn the recipes but I think it is on purpose that you can't.

Regarding emotion trees I went to the royal baths and found 5 there. You can also plant them at home.

BTW. Since you have pets did you notice the bug with pet bowls in the inventory or perhaps you didn't bring any pets along.

Well what do you know I just ate Buñuelos and learned how to make it at home. Maybe you need a certain level of culture to learn the recipes. I am at level 3.

@jpkarlsen, thanks that makes sense about the recipes! 😇 One of my Sims just reached cultural level 3, but I haven't tried to have her make any food since then.  

I haven't found the Royal Baths yet!  But I found one of the Emotion Berry trees on that long stone ledge with the large medallion overlooking the river below!  Such a view! 🤨 ❤️

No, I haven't brought any pets to the Jungle yet.  I thought of trying to adopt a stray by putting out food bowls for them, but I haven't tried that yet, since I wanted to concentrate on cultural and archeological activities! 😉

At the place where there are 4 portals take the one on the left. The Temple has only 1 emotion tree. I have now completed exploring the temple. Hopefully some of the blocked path will be open on my next vacation.
