Emerald Valley # 4: Spring's Wedding

 Overall, Spring's wedding went quite well, but she was definitely showing signs of worry or regret. I think she was getting cold feet, afraid this union would derail her dream of becoming a witch, but she was determined to be happy.


She and Gustavo arrived early to make sure everything was set up and ready. Then they went to partake of some "liquid courage." My experience is that when sims autonomously order drinks, they usually choose a "regular drink" but in this case Gustavo ordered a Skill Builder drink (good for him) and Spring ordered a "Sorrow Annihilator" - a sign to me that she wasn't sure she wanted to go through with the wedding. 


If Gustavo looks different, its because I gave him a different hairstyle and added a beard. I didn't find the shaved head look that flattering on him.


It seems Gustavo wasn't all that thrilled with the quality of the drink? I hadn't noticed that before. 

Spring may be worrying about Gustavo's motives. His dream is to have "golden tongue, golden fingers," achieving fame by busking (playing for tips.) The thing is, he has no guitar and no skills in playing the guitar. Maybe he sees Spring as a meal ticket, someone to get a job to pay the bills so he can pursue his dreams.


There were a few hiccups in the ceremony: the chairs were placed too close together, so most sims couldn't access them, and Joey was still grieving about his wife Tamara, who was taken by Grim's pit monster Emie at the bachelorette party the night before.

And some guests seemed more interested in their own conversations than the ceremony.


But the wedding did go on.






Freddie Lam, the current pianist, made an appearance, looking sharp.



After cutting the cake, the bride developed a serious case of body odor. Awkward!



At least the couple ate their cake together.


The gossip girls ate together with the bartender.





While Gustavo took to the dance floor, poor Spring had had enough and decided to go home an take a long bath.


I think the Sorrow Annihilator has worn off. 


While Gustavo seems like a slacker who brings nothing to the party, his traits include Ambitious, so maybe he will make something of himself after all. His other traits are Good Sense of Humor, Party Animal, Excitable, and Clumsy.

Spring bought Gustavo a nice futuristic guitar and amp, and he started building skills in the laundry room while she slept back at the apartment. Before she went to bed, she asked the magic 8 ball if she should have children. The magic 8 ball said "no." She seemed a little disappointed at first, but then relieved. Maybe she won't have to give up her dream after all.

Tiny Town Challenge Part 1

Image
 I started my version of Deligracy's Tiny Town Challenge. Hers is for the Sims 4, so I had to adapt it. I also created a Builders Version, but I'm trying the gameplay version. Here are the rules. MODIFIED TINY TOWN CHALLENGE The aim of this challenge is to build 7 tiny homes on one lot, for 7 sims that match their desires and skills. The Rundown: - Each sim has a set skill that you must utilize in order to fund their tiny home build. For example Frank Stem likes gardening, so you must sell things he grows to fund his Tiny House build.  - You must also represent each sim's favorite style and color in the build (see sim characters below) - You can only work on one sim's house at a time, move each sim in individually as you "unlock" them.  -To "unlock" the next sim, you must complete the previous sim's home.  How to play: - Start by moving your first sim into the Tiny Town lot. (64x64 size recommended.) - To select your first sim, you could use an ...

4 Seasons #7: Aspen and Vinny - The bachelor party and miscellaneous observations.

Image
 At the beginning of Spring, Aspen and Vinny had their first spat. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Vinny channeled  his obnoxious inner nerd and insulted Aspen's intelligence.  She was mad at him all day, and they spent the day apart doing their own things.  Too much togetherness can be a bad thing.  At any rate, they quickly patched things up. This woman is bad news.  Her name is Hayley Thibordeaux. She's married to a guy named Garth and both of them are hopeless romantics. She was incessantly flirting with Vinny. At first, Vinny seemed immune to her advances.  He enthused about his upcoming wedding, etc., but she was persistent, and he finally flirted back. I sent him home before he got into too much trouble. Time passed, and she aged up to an elder.  The last interaction she and Vinny had, she was asking him for money.  He didn't give her any, however.  The Meyers' apparently aren't getting along too well lately. According to ...
