Of course I'm playing this event totally as written. No strange retcons, twists and turns of the story at all...

(More pics in the Batuu thread in a couple of minutes.)

But seriously, I like the idea that Grim is worried about job security. Hopefully he realizes that with Ambrosia sims can die and return over and over. The same sim can die so often that Grim will need to hire an assistant to keep up with the workload!

Can The Sims give me a good reason as to why we have limited time events, instead of just patching these events in-game and letting us get them whenever we want, without fear of missing out? Just one good, solid reason. Just one.

I like the eyes, I want those. The lot challenge is confusing because it feels like it should be a personality trait. 

I am dreading this event. The objects look good but I hate that I have to do quests within a set time to get them. I miss the time when this game was a sandbox game where I could do whatever I want when it suits my own time without forever loosing the chance to unlock something. I can't play every day, my time in the game is limited and now I have to sacrifice that precious time for this. 

Here the object colors

I love every single one of these items, so perfect for my playstyle! 🖤

Although...I didn't realize I'm actually required to jump into LIVE MODE in order to participate!  I believed it to be another log in-collect loot-log out situation, which is bad enough!! 
YELP! I'm busy! I'm sure I can manage in the weekends but I don't agree. People are already under so much pressure at work, our leisure time should not be crammed with more deadlines, YARGHH! Moan. 

*shakes fist at Event Organisers *

I can do Ambrosia. Ambrosia - or should I say Ambrosius- is my middle name. Like Sir Didymus' loyal steed. If you know you know. I'm constantly dealing with resurrecting dead sims by the way, The King of The Kingdom of Ambrosia is who I really am. 
I think I've got everything in place, except for the darn Angel Fish. Off to the pond we go again. Sigh. 

I completed week 1's challenge this evening! Thank goodness it didn't take me nearly as long as feeding a sim to the sharks, which is something I would never do... 🖤

Here's the man for the job -Nothing to lose, ready to face Death- Dan De Muerto. Dan De Muerto just baked a Pan De Muerto with his cloaky old chum. 

 Wee Bunny Mc Boney was allowed to join them at the table. Despite the grim situation, they were all very happy.

And because nobody asked for it, here is a random screenshot of my frail little baby Mandrake siblings. They were sound asleep upstairs, dreaming of Plant De Muertos. 

Did you know that you can interview Grim about utilities cost? The sim I befriended him with is a civic designer and decided to combine his work task with the event task.

Grim: "I can't say much about electricity, but water is a huge pain in the backside. The departed get theirs from the river Styx and then forget to pay the water bill!"

After little bit of grumpy reading

 Simmingal headed out

 
and started to work on those tasks first of which required her to talk to fellow sims about Ambrosia

I can't recall the wording but Moira shared her gardening knowledge

Nancy the notion that I should be ready to get my hands dirty....

but I have gloves?

Ha. I win. serves you right Nancy.

then I saw Lily and I think she mentioned something cooking related

This task was fairly simple, although very roasting

so Simmingal was glad to find next activities to be something she could do in shade

alongside her new bunny companion

and the Grimophone

I managed to claim week two's items this morning as I sneezed! 😁

Oh, here is Dan De Muerto again with his buddy. This time he's cheating Death. 

And here is Death cheating Dan. 

They're perfect for eachother. 

So, while Dan De Muerto went out fishing for nice boots and a bike, Grim decided to stay at home to see if he could reel in some lost souls. 

It didn't exactly go as planned...

I mean dude aren't you supposed to be experienced in communication with the dead?! 😆

Oh but I think he knows what's coming...He's scared of getting eradicated by the New Reaper On the Block -oh yeah, he'll find out who's boss, very soon-ish. 😎
