This is the face of a Sim who just took the first step toward their Lifetime Wish! (Ignore the low-res background)
That's right! Floyd just caught his first Perfect fish in the form of this tiny thing: a 0.52 kilogram/1.5 lb minnow named Clay [Aiken].
Say hi, Clay!
Clay: Get dat camera outta my face...
He's shy.
About an hour later, Elvira wakes up for her morning fart.
Meanwhile, Floyd has fished right up until it's time for work. About the same time Elvira wakes up, he heads off to work, letting loose his own morning fart. Aw, they're so disgustingly in sync.
He then takes a leisurely stroll down to the office, narrowly avoiding getting hit by multiple taxis and making himself late in the process. Good job, Floyd!
Aw. Elvira stopped to feed Clay before heading out for work! She's already becoming a great mommy.
As soon as -- and I literally mean as soon as -- she steps foot into the hospital, she's sent out to do vaccinations. (Oh yeah, by the way, I reinstalled Ambitions, my favourite expansion pack. So now I'm playing with the base game, multiple NRaas mods just to know what my town's doing and to enable more same-sex relationships, and Ambitions. I also have a bit of CC, as you have probably guessed by Elvira's hair. Just ask if you've got any questions about certain things!)
Elvira arrives at the graveyard of all places to perform this Vaccination Clinic. Maybe it's used as a scare tactic?
Elvira: Get a vaccine!
OR THE NEXT GRAVE WILL BE YOURS!
Her first victim is a townie named Franklin Ajjanagadde. And if you think that's a mouthful, you should hear the names of his family. Just as an example, his oldest son's name is Heriberto Ajjanagadde. And he has an almost-full house with a wife and 5 kids.
EA attraction zings them both right away. Uh-oh. Well atleast she didn't wish to learn his sign or flirt with him.
He evidentally likes her, though. I mean, just look at that face! Obviously, Franklin doesn't mind that huge frickin' horror movie needle if Elvira's the one holding it.
He's only interested in her money, though. Despite the mean look on her face, Elvira gives in. Thankfully, no money actually leaves their funds, which spares her of using the excuse "He was...hot?" when Floyd asks her where 100 simoleons went.
After a few more conversations, he leaves. They both spare a parting glance back.
I'm sensing this guy's gonna give us trouble.
Despite not liking art, she stills comes over to view this orchid on Gertrude Flansburgh's grave just to insult it. (FYI, Gertrude is an awesome sim. I brought her and some other ghosts back once and gave her the Young Again potion from Generations so she could complete her lifetime wish. You should check out some of the Sunset Valley ghosts!)
Orchid: Yeah? Well you ain't no Venus de Milo either, lady.
Just imagine that line in a thick Jersey accent.
She insults Enola Green's sunflowers as well.
Sunflower: 'Ey, Orchid!
Orchid: Yeah?
Sunflower: You t'inkin' wut I'm t'inkin'?
Elvira, get out of there and quit insulting 40s gangster flowers!
As soon as Floyd starts practising his water cooler small talk, this is the wish that pops up. Oh, boy...
Franklin ends up being the only one to show up. I'm beginning to think this was just a set-up by her coworkers. Probably Darron Moreno, since we've already seen what a jerk he is. Because of this, I send her around gathering gems, rocks, and seeds until it's time to go back to work. I love how she's staring at this Unknown Uncommon Seed like it has all the answers to life. It may very well. Who knows?
Orchid: 'Eyyy! Come back! We was 'aving fun!
The purple dot is where she was with the seed. The yellow dot is where she hailed the cab. The lime green trail is the route she took. Sims...
Just as she's getting back to work, Floyd is leaving. But we're gonna make a pit stop at the Williams' house before he goes back home.
Marley isn't home yet, so I make him garden while he waits, even though he's exhausted. Poor thing. I'm gonna work him to his grave.
But hey! Check out that view!
There's Marley! GO GO GO!
Floyd: *nearly faceplants*
Get it? 'Cause he's in his garden? And about to pass out?
I'll shut up now.
Malika waves at the camera -- Hey! No fourth-wall-breaking here, Malika! It's important. -- while she watches in anticipation of her dad's reaction.
Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how good you're in with the boss. In Sims, you've gotta meet the job requirements to succeed. I wish the same were always true with real life.
Marley seems sympathetic to Floyd's pleas, but perhaps his hands are tied when it comes to raises and promotions. He tries to cheer him up by detailing the decor about them.
Soon after, though, Floyd runs home, trying to hold himself together for Elvira.
She's already in bed, thinking over her day at work.
He snuggles up with her and even in their dreams Elvira reminds him that work isn't what he's working toward.
