Blast from the Past - Part 3
It’s time for the next week of quests for this time-travel questline! First thing’s first!
If we’re going to be making a computer into a time machine, then we need an appropriate room for it! A hackerman’s room! Now then, let us activate this time travel component!
...oh no! Our computer broke! How dare! Well, let’s repair this real quick. And it was truly really quick. Right then, we have goals for eating something, exercising and then asking Emit about all this. Lets...head to the local gym first. He’s in a tense mood so that’ll help out. And with that, it’s lunch time. Nab a burg at the seasonal food stall and then to the park! Magnolia Promenade to be precise. Time to chat with Emit again. Annnd it’s stormy. As it goes. This’ll be a hi-bye situation then. And the solution is to evidently overlock the computer first, so it can use all the power. Yeah that sounds about right.
Right. Cameron needs to sleep so, what to do now? Well I suppose we check in with Lara. Sheeeee, wishes to have a child for successful linage. Eh. You’re more on the 1 on the 1.5 kids per household. So it’s reading to a child for the aspiration, which only works if they’re an actual kid, so skip that. Not having a kid just to skirt around that. And then socializing. Either or, having her gain parenting skill until Izzy is back from chess.
Mm. Izzy is back from chess and man she is grumpy. I guess once she has a bite to eat and a cold shower, I’ll have Lara suggest re-direction. And I will have her take a dip in the local pool. Wish this area was swimable! Ohp! Wait no! Cameron is up! It’s time to overclock a computer! Which is different from normal overclocking. I know! Lara has that and she had a prompt for both the story overclocking and quest overclocking!
Right, everything is set. Now it’s time to give ourselves a pep up talk and then play the Sims Archives again. Spot that time-traveler! ...oh dang! It’s time for work. Maaaan. Shame Cameron has to be a hackerman ...wait, we’re done!? Nooooo! Why!? I want to catch a time-traveler! Ah dang it! Welp, new aspiration and odds and ends are a get. Anyway, I guess that’s all for this time soooo…
Neighborhood Watch!
Darrell Sanchez in the Sanchez household has started a job as a Freelance Crafter in the Freelance Crafter career.
Susan Kennedy in the Kennedy household has died. Susan overcharged and couldn’t contain the magical energy.
Siobhan and Augustus have become friends.
Summer and Carmen have started dating!
Advik and Kumiko have become friends.
Yui and Shigeru have become friends.
Alonzo Monroe in the Get Fit! Get Well! Household has died. Alonzo stuck a finger in a plug ane electricity came out.
Copperdale: The Raghavan household recently moved in.
Well I guess that’s all. Oh but,
I did add a display area for the milk cartons in the secret basement. Here’s to next week! And big cake time!
Blast from the Past – Part 2
We return! To another week of Blast from the Past? Will Cameron begin to find the truth to mysterious time travel? Lets find out…
Oooo, glad I got a Genius sim on the case then! Right, next goals are to read the History of Time Travel at the library. (We have that book!?) And then study a historical display at a museum. We’re back from work and have plenty of energy. To the library!
...so evidently, by someone aiming to travel through time, time became this material object. And that it’s speculated that while books, movies, (heh, tv shows made from Sims 3) and video games being windows into the past, others believe they are a form of time travel. Hmm. You do know that the Sims 4 is considered an alternative timeline from the original Sims and the Sims 2 and 3. Wonder if that’s going to be touched in on…
Anyway we need some fun and so let’s see what fun thing Cameron comes up with an- -gasp- he’s going for the computer to play a game. Lo and behold, the Sims Archives volume 2 is available! Let’s see…
Mysterious figure spotted! And he has a strange crystal of some sort. All purple-y and broken and a very familiar diamond shape… weird! Anyway, fun gained. To a museum!
I typically count the Van Haunt estate as museum-lite but I don’t think that’ll work for Cameron. So we’re off on a trip to Brindleton Bay!
...oh dear. It’s not clearing off with this uh, display case with a minaturized version of this island in the center. Uhhh, let’s try some art. And if not! PANIC! ...though I think I remember studying historical displays being a Research and Debate skill? Looking through the skills and its...ah! Level 2 Research & Debate! Sh-shouldn’t we have that? Well that’s not good!
Browsing the forums game me some additional ideas and since Cameron needs to eat and sleep at this point, might as well head home.
Ah! Izzy’s home and wants to play chess. The chess table is in Cameron’s room. The room he’s sleeping in. The dad she’s currently feeling hurt by. Leeeets go to the cool chess topiary area in the middle of town! That’s a fun place to do chess with. And get to know chess teammate Molly while at it. Oh hey, she’s a fellow genius! Let’s strike up a friendship!
Right, let’s see. Past 8PM, past library time and she’s sleepy so let’s head home and do homework before turning in.
Now! Let’s see if heading over to Willow Creek or Oasis Spring’s museum fixes the issue for Cameron not being able to progress in the quest! Ahh, the jazz art of Willow Creek. Annnd it does. Huh. Weird. Would make sense that these were designed by base game lots first and foremost but weird.
Next is to ask an elderly sim about the shard! They know things! They’ve been around awhile! Let’s see… we have our late night barkeep but we also have someone Cameron’s been friends with on his list for awhile now. Miguel Baron. Let’s bring him over to Willow Creek’s lounge.
OH YEAH! That’s why Cameron knows this guy. He’s a nanny! Probably personally looked after Isabelle. Annnd oh man! Evidently there are tales of weird crystals that allow for time travel. Well well now. And we have a name now. Shards of Time. To the computer to research!
...evidently the research is corroborated. Maybe.
When your first sentence is “It’s right there on the internet!” I would have doubts but heeeey, this is fringe science and also this is the Sims. This family literally has a space ship ontop of their roof.
Blast from the Past - Part 1
Back at it again with another limited time event from the Sims 4! This time, it’s the Blast from the Past, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Sims. This is alongside the re-releases of the original Sims and the Sims 2, quite a big time for the Sims games.
I should look up a Sims 2 GBA playthrough. Relive my actual nostalgia.
-ahem- But for now, it’s time to do the limited time event. Wasn’t certain which family I should go with but I think I have one in mind. Cameron Fletcher, and his wife and kid. Cameron’s pretty tech-y and this is supposed to deal with a time-traveler sooooo, he’s my first thought for who would be the best fit for it.
I load into...wait wait, Izzy aged up!? And so did Cameron! Hang on! Hang on! Hang on! Cameron’s now an adult and Izzy is now a teen! Okay! Did not expect that!
Anyway, here’s Izzy. I love her. She is my daughter now. (Even though she’s Cameron’s and Lara’s daughter)
This also means a remodel of Izzy’s bedroom. I decided on the hight of luxury for a wealthy Sim. TWO desks! (The corner had a science table and I didn’t know what else to put there and none of the mental skill related activities appealed)
Ohp! Sorry Cameron. You’re an adult and wearing your college tee into adult years is weird. Time to dad-ify you. (This dad is an underground hacker-man, so ya know)
...oh I also gotta do a teen tradition. Time to break down the relationships of good friends with parents into worse!
Oh, evidently a huge flash of light happened. I was distracted by the ageing up thing! Ugh, I would check the news like the game asks but I wanna wait until Cameron can do it and he’s exhausted. Sleep time for him.
Let’s see. Lara wants to plant something as a part of her outdoorsy thing so uh...eh. I have her garden. Let’s take a jog. Jog done. Uh, let’s have her make a video game? -shrug- Her other whim is staying at home so we can do that just making a video game. Annnd she needs sleep. Welp, let’s nap all the way through what is going to be her work hours.
Cameron’s up! Oh but news only airs from specific times! Let’s wait until 5PM! ...evidently the news will just report on a time traveler. Which...granted, Sims can go into space easily if they can afford it. Cameron can make robotic life and so could his wife if they wanted.
But first, TEEN AND TEEN RELATIONSHIP DAMAGE! I think she likes her dad a lot more than her mom so they’re just devolving down to friends. Ah, he yelled at her back so now she’s hurt. By the by, Cameron was hurt more by this relationship drop than Lara was. At least in terms of pure sentiments.
Anyway, next things next when you hear about a time traveler...you check out his social media. Anyway, it’s a guy with distinctly blue hair which, I don’t think I even give that to my Sims too often sooo, yeah, distinctive. Time to ask other Sims about him! Hey wife! Heard about this guy? No? No. But a recommendation to try the park. Hmm.
Saving here for now it’s time to contact our friends. We have Charity Hand, my Sim, so to speak. (First Sim I rolled up in this personal profile and so very attached) And we also have Naoki Kobayashi.
Charity tells us she was out sim-watching when she heard a bang. I seeeee. Anyway, going to have a bit of a chat before I head over to- ohp. She’s a hothead and she’s pissed! Run away!
Two more days! Izzy is up and at ‘em and has her two hours until school. Of which, will of course be devoted to needs management. Cameron is back from work and is thinking about playing video games. ...I’m real curious as to what Hilock and Road Rival Alpha are like. Hillock is...the same as SimScuffle in video. Alas! Road Rival Alpha is...a fighting game! I think those have become more of a PC game thing in terms of preferred consoles to play it on. And Lara woke up, decided to give her some french toast for breakfast before taking care of her garden and bees before work.
Oh no! The computer broke down while Cameron was playing it! At least it’s an easy fix for him. And let’s have him glance at the sky for a bit before he takes a snooze. And now it’s time for Lara to work-from-home! We are dabbling in circuit boards and then designing hardware on the computer. But first, we check social media because her social need is low and that’ll help fix it. Especially since Cameron is up in the observatory.
Now always before you do your robotics, equip a robo-arm! That’s a craft you can make with a bit of robotics skill and it allows you to not get shocked while working on your robotics crafts. Alas, you need to gain the skill to make it in the first place but as for this family? We have plenty of robotics nerds to make said robotic arm!
Izzy is finally back from school! And with it, we just need to befriend one last adult before we can move onto the next aspiration! The easiest would be Charity Hand and so we invite her over. She also asked her mother for advice on what to do about a bully bullying her friends. Stand in and step up or stay out and console friend afterwards? I think Lara might be for the second? Just be patient and just look after your friend afterwards. And with Charity...it literally took two socials and we bumped her up to being friends. Nicely done. Next’ll be the motor one which, well, we have that skill maxed already. Just a matter of getting the extras done and dusted with. Anyway, I thought to give Charity a health potion and make an emotion potion for Izzy herself. Neither went over well and once Izzy got out of the restroom, she felt the lingering effects of the school event that happened earlier in the day. Basically, a teacher ate a laxative laced brownie meant for her tormentor but went straight for him instead. And so she’s tense.
Before I sent her off to bed after shouting some unpleasant words, I decided to change up Izzy’s hair! She looks cute! And- ohp. Cameron is awake. He wants to play chess so after a run to the toilet and eating some popcorn, sure! Up to the chess table you go! Works well for his logic gain as well. After some late night grilling of the ribs for...supper, I suppose, his next whim is to chat with Noel Grey, an acquaintance but one he knows well and has all of her traits down. Huh. Anyway, he hasn’t been to the local bars much. How about the Shrieking Llama? And somehow ordering for the group got him a one star celebrity. Huh. -shrugs- High level job I suppose.
It’s GeekCon day! But also it is Love Day! A very busy holiday! Lara’s up first and her whim is to take a vacation to Granite Falls. Because she do so loves the outdoors. ...but GeekCon! The other is to cry out her tears when she is sad. But she is not sad for she is still and always, ultra focused! Anyway, everyone loves Love Day! You want to know why? Because everyone is in a romantic relationship! Well, except for children. Izzy just has the tradition of giving flowers active. If only one or two traditions are in a holiday, you can mostly ignore it. But Lara and Cameron? Aboslutely not!
With Lara actually liking the flowers gift thing, I decided to get her a proper flower arranging station to make a proper gift for Cameron. Even if I can’t use roses yet! I also notice that Cameron can finally do some computer upgrades as well. Finally, I can see those fancier graphics on video games.
But enough of that! GeekCon time! Time to head on out and over! I try to get Izzy to try out the virtual reality video games but alas, they were quickly snapped up. Ah well. Time to talk to the adults around and get to work on her social aspiration! And man! I meant to bring the floral gift over but I forgot! Alas, it is time to gift a single rose, a common Love Day gift. And then the Hackathons and the Ultimate Gaming tests started up! Time for this household to show what they can do! I immediately throw Lara and Cameron to the hack-a-thons. Alas for Izzy, she failed the gaming test. But hey, at least there’s a gaming console nearby to play some games with! Lara’s score was 62 percent on the Hackathon and Cameron’s was 89. Now to GAME! Lara passed with a basic 70 and so did Cameron. Alas, their skills lie elsewhere! Anyway, I has Cameron ask Lara on a date and kept them here at the karaoke place where GeekCon is happening. ...right as Cameron embarasses Lara with a prank. Ah well.
The two chatted and were social well enough and Izzy just kept gaming. Oh and Cameron won the hackathon! We now have a fancy computer that we’ll sell off when we get home. Anyway, GeekCon was ending so I wanted to send Izzy home but alas. Seems like she’s considered a part of the date now.
...man I like this place but why is the build like this? Alas. Anyway, you know what all dates in a karaoke place involve? One song. Just because! Even if they are utterly terrible at it.
Also evidently the NAP inspector dropped in and was like, “wait, why is there no gardening on this karaoke lot!? YOU SHALL BE FINED!” Rude. Let’s just go home and let that clear itself up. While Cameron and Izzy made it home, Lara is still here, eating food stall Chinese, and being very sad. So now we can complete that whim when she gets home! And then immediately crash into bed. While I set Cameron up to upgrade all of those computers and electronics around the house! Even finding a gaming console in household inventory. ...probably something something GeekCon gift. But I only managed some IP Spoofers and the graphics card before retiring him to bed. Alas. But I guess that makes it time for-
Neighborhood Watch!
