Round 1: Sparkle
[Read]Welcome back to Twinkle Hills! Today we are going to spend some time with Sparkle family. Faerie Queen Mara came to my game right from The Sims Makin' Magic. She lives in a small treehouse and has a trailer where she sells magic potions and ingredients.
Today's challenge: Living with nature: Your sims have decided to spend some time in the great outdoors. Purchase as many tents as needed, along with a grill and a small pond. (I'm afraid we don't have enough space for pond outside =/)
Let me show you her house first. Exterior:
Interior:
This building is a bathroom. I thought it should be outside.
I also placed some laundry stuff:
And added a patio area.
This is the view from the lot:
The first (and only one) neighbor who visited Mara was Lavenia Honeyleaf.
Mara decided to make something tasty...
but failed :D Poor rice was suffered from Mara's cooking skills :D
The attempt number two was successful and even Lavenia who doesn't eat human food decided to try it. As you can see it's evening on the picture. It's because they didn't do anything interesting and didn't even communicate to each other :D
But finally Mara decided to start talking. She is so excited! I'm sure he is talking about her potions shop :D
Everyone in Twinkle Hills loves playing in rock-paper-scissors ><
And this is where the first day ends. Not so eventful. At least Mara and Lavenia became friends :)
The next day for Mara started with gardening. Everything should be perfect before opening the business!
I also added summer kitchen for convenience :)
It's time! But first let's see who will be working as a restocker.
And it's Tuto Tofurry, a townie werewolf.
Let's have a look at the first customers.
They are Lavenia Honeyleaf and Charlie Spark.
Mara: “Hey, Lavenia! Remember I told you about my potions store? Here't is! Do you want to buy something? :)”
Hello, green sweaters ^^
Lavenia won the prize - she became the first customer :D
Hello, Carlyn! Hello, bunny
That's funny. Carlyn has her own business - elixir's shop but she came to Mara's whose business is also potions and elixirs :D Moreover they are fiends. They should be competitors but something has gone wrong :D
Let's back to our challenge. I placed three tents as you can see as I thought that spending time outside alon will be boring. Mara invited her friends - Carlyn and Lavenia.
Grill is also here at the background!
Outside fun started with sitting in front of the fire!
Carlyn: “Hey, Lavenia! Do you want a marshmallow?”
Carlyn: “Take!”
Lavenia: “I'm a plant and don't eat human food. Remember?”
Carlyn: “Oh, right...”
Carlyn: “I'll hide it to my belly then ^^”
Carlyn: “Yummy”
Even plants can be cold and will be glad to sit in front the fire!
Mara remembered about new grill and wanted to try it! Hope this time she won't burn the food :D
And the meal was successful.
Lavenia: “Are you eating again? You've just eaten those marshmallows! Stooop!”
Lurker dog: “I agree. They are constantly eating and not giving anything to meeee”
They've spent a lot of time eating/chatting/sitting in front of the fire. And then it was time to sleep.
As plantsims don't sleep Lavenia was a guard for sleeping beauties :D And look! She decided to try some marshmallow too!
Lavenia: “I wonder why humans love this these white things?”
Lavenia: “Not bad”
I hope she received her portion of fun from this outdoor party :)
And girls were sleeping till late morning!
Next day was a day off for Mara. I decided that she might have finished the challenge as it required to have a pond. We couldn't place the pond on Mara's lot but we know where she can go, right? And yes! It's Jojo's “Happy Deer” fishing spot!
And the first thing to do of course was fishing.
It's not your day, Mara...
Obviously not.
All right. One more time. I hope Charlie will give you luck.
Please tell me it's a fish!
Now you can open your own shoe store guys :D
Charlie decided that rod is useless so he dived to catch a fish with his hands :D
Unlucky Mara [2]. She made a tasty hot dogs but no one came.
And when finally Carlyn decided to join her she was busy checking if something is her teeth or not :D
Then I heard strange noises behind the toilet...
It was Carlyn. Very crazy
and very cute!
Mara: “Oh, now you are crazy! Congratulate!” =/
Poor Carlyn. Some of her fears fulfilled. I missed that moment :(
At least she was lucky in fishing ;) Not like some
It was raining when Mara came home. You are just in time!
Mara is a fortune sim and she wants a looot of money. So I bought an easel for her so she could sell paintings and earn some more :)
Tuto did his job very well :)
Carlyn: “Nooboo!”
I'm afraid it's not a nooboo, honey... You really should go to good witch psychiatrist.
Trevor, don't stay there! You'll miss everything. Not every day you can see a crazy good witch :D
Success!
It's funny that employees make such expensive gifts for their employers :D Is it a bribe?
It was time for Mara to find a couple because money isn't everything in this life.
Mara: “Naaah. Find someone rich for me, beldam!”
Mara: “Look. I have a simoleon! One simoleon for true love!”
Fortuneteller: “Abra cada bra. Give this greedy woman an awful couple!”
Mara: “Ah! I wish that one simoleon wasn't a waste!”
And this is who fell from the sky - an NPC evil warlock. They have two bolts. And his name is...
GANDALF KING
Oh my...
They became friends quite soon ^^ (I lack of fantasy clothes so all my male sims are doomed to wear sweaters :D)
Romance is all right. But don't trample down the crops!
Oversparkling couple <3
The date was successful and ended soon. As well as our round.
I hope you enjoed this round. Thank you so much for reading and Happy Simming!
