Darwin’s first mission after a piece of cake was to go out and meet some more sims. He wanted to meet 10 new people and have five friends, it was time to get on it!
I was excited to see Simself make an appearance. Her and Simhubby had a daughter who I have yet to see wandering around.
Of course, making friends isn’t Darwin’s only task. He knows he needs to find a gal. He had zero luck finding anyone as a teen (seriously there are like no teens in the nieghborhood I swear). He chats with several gals, but doesn’t seem to hit it off with anyone.
The next day Darwin heads to the lounge in Oasis Springs. Unfortunetly, it appears to be a meeting day for the grey hairs in town!
The poor girl’s comedy routine got a big dampening when one of said grey hairs decided to keel over right there! Of course, this set of a tide of pouty lips and wimpering sniffles. I don’t even remember the guy’s name.
Grim: Okay, you there lady are tomorrow at noon, sir I’ve got you pencilled in for a two thirty reaping, Ponytail guy…gonna have to squeeze you in at Midnight, try not to be in the bathroom, okay?
Grim has his hands full with the town’s massive aging population.
Thankfully there are still a few youngin’s around.
Darwin: Thank God, a girl who’s knockers aren’t down to her knees!
Josephine: What does that mean?
Darwin: Uh, I mean, Hi!
Everyone was reeling still from the death of random townie number seven, so Darwin decided to throw a little house party at his place.
Darwin of course was in his element surrounded by new people to get to know. Caroline also showed up, though I’m not sure why she’s throwing major shade at the moment.
It ended up being quite the shindig. Even Gaia had a good time socializing and dancing, though she felt a bit embarassed picking the same dress as Caroline.
Caroline: So, you guys know he’s looking for a Legacy spouse, right? Josephine I think he has his eyes on you.
Josephine: Yeah…which is great, he’s a nice guy, but I am not looking forward to telling him I become an elder in a few days.
Caroline: Oh. Awkward.
Darwin: Heeeey ladies!
Josephine: Wow seriously, you’re a goon.
Darwin has been hard at work painting, and I quite like how this one is turning out. He ended up hanging this one next to the easel.
Gaia continues to gather the last few plants missing from her collection. She’s been waiting for these tulips to get big enough for ages.
While out shmoozing at a bar, Darwin runs into my Simself’s daughter. The game named her Rose, which I approved of. She is going to be off limits to Darwin though, cause that’s just…creepy.
Thankfully Darwin hits it off with this lovely lady, Lucia. Darwin finds out quickly that they’re both snobs, and so he’s constantly confident with her.
And it seems the fates enjoy the pairing, as Lucia turns up at the bar again the next night.
Darwin: Hey, you know we’ve ran into each other twice now, it must be destiny!
Lucia: Right?! Spooky!
Darwin: I have to warn you, we’re a legacy family…rules and kids and all that jazz.
Lucia: Really…You know Legacy families tend to be LOADED…
Darwin: We’re only in Generation Two, not so much yet.
Lucia: Eh, we can fix that.
While Darwin seems to have finally found the one for him, Gaia continues to miss Elvis despirately. She likes to visit his grave every morning before she makes breakfast. (and several times during as well…I’m constantly chasing her back to the kitchen). Darwin also makes a point to visit his dad every day.
Realizing that Gaia is getting up there, and getting ominous messages from Grim, She uses her substantial aspiration points to buy a potion of youth. She really wants to be able to see and play with her grandchildren, dangit.
Gaia: This tastes like talcum powder and old milk.
And with a new vigor, Gaia finally finds a cowplant seed! (actually, she finds two, as the first seed glitched the heck out when we tried to plant it).
It doesn’t take long before the tiny adorable sprout grows into a massive beast. Thankfully, he’s easy to keep happy with a bit of hamburger every few hours. (Or, as it will turn out, constantly eating the inhabitants of the household, though I have yet to catch him at it).
