A Polarity in the Pollinators Pixel_Trade: Spacetasties 1.1
This is Cordelia Spacetasties. She comes from a family of farmers & she just inherited this charmingly dilapidated farmhouse. She was my end product in the Pollination Exploration challenge. Actually she's the exact same sim from that challenge because I wasn't thinking clearly & did the challenge in my already half populated alien hood that I was working on & I refuse to delete any sims & I had put several hours into the neighborhood so... clearly I'm not going to start over. :) She'll be having the recessive genetics from that & she probably has too many aspiration & personality points & will occassionally sob that she didn't get to go to college but for the most part she's just like any other founder. I'm basically ignoring her aspiration points for the time being, I haven't got her any perks, and I'll spend them along with her spouse probably, to make sure she's not too fancy.
She's a super active and neat pleasure sim. :)
The soil is nice and rich here. She planted her first crop of tomatoes in a gentle autumnal rain.
Cordelia stepped back and let the rain water her new plants.
(Do you know this feeling? I do. I love getting something put in the ground right before it rains and then the smell of wet, just turned earth. <3)
Unfortunately she couldn't let everything happen naturally. Ladybug houses cost more than pesticide in the town of Spaceport.
(I don't know this feeling. I never use pesticides. I put Dawn dish soap in a bottle and spray with that. It's gentle and it kind of works. *picks wormy things out of broccoli plants*)
Her first visitor was this lovely named Biscuit.
Her next walkby was a teenaged Integer Exploration (by smustleparty). (I used other people's pollination exploration sims as teens and kids in my hood.)
& her second was Tiger Rooney (by katu_sims). She high fived him for being so immediately alluring. They have two bolts!
She brought him inside to her (quite) humble abode to get to know one another better.
Okay. Well. This is too easy. Plus I feel a little guilty. Every pixel_trade legacy I have done has started out with a spouse by katu_sims. <.<
Anyway, it's a good thing there is nowhere on the lot to woohoo, because they're not allowed!
Meanwhile Integer trapped some butterflies and left them on the kitchen table.
Per usual Tiger & Cordelia took out those woohooxual frustrations with a pillow fight.
Cordelia asked Tiger on a date. It was quite wholesome.
While they're not p_t sims, I was quite delighted that all of the NPCs at the bowling alley were aliens!
It is worth noting that forever after this maitre d' called Cordelia every day.
Cordelia went straight to the lanes. Tiger was too distracted by her glorious form to join the game so Clue (by charterzard) did instead.
Unfortunately this meant Cordelia was soundly ignoring her date and he wandered off.
That better not be premarital woohoo!
S'not. Just pictures. :)
This is what you do at the end of a date when you're not the premarital woohoo type. Watching TV and enjoying a TV dinner together. The date ended on that note as "great", though Cordelia, a pleasure sim, is hoping to have 50 Dream Dates. Oh boy.
She let the butterflies that Integer had captured free. It's so rude when people leave a jar of dying insects in your kitchen/dining/living/practically only room.
The next day Madden (by alfredaskew) dropped by. He just wanted to watch cartoons, so Cordelia left him at it and went for a hike.
She found these on her hike. :3
The next day, sitting alone in her quiet, barren home, she thought about her marital prospects. So far, Tiger was the only man she was really interested in.
It would be nice to settle down and make some upgrades to her tiny little farmhouse.
The next day she jumped out of bed with a hankering to catch some bugs. She didn't even have time to get dressed in her enthusiasm.
Who is this bored young woman mouthbreathing in the rain?
Ah. It's the Nature Hobbyist, coming to stare at / offer our protaganist a membership to her secret club.
Since Cordelia seemed so keen to garden in her undergarments, I thought perhaps she should have some new ones, and get to know some more of the locals while she was at it. Aaron (by jens_sims) here thought she was quite repellant. :(
There were plenty of young men available, like Ryan Rerolf (by doda-lani) and Elm Suli (by dutchxfan) here, but Cordelia couldn't stop thinking about Tiger.
So she invited him over that night for another date.
They shared their second kiss (their first having happened at the end of their previous date, like it was no big deal) meanwhile both longing desperately to "watch TV". Tiger is a pleasure sim as well.
The TV would have to wait, though, because Cordelia declared herself to Tiger.
He said yes, of course.
A Leader of the Pack / Flower plot interlude.
Cordelia enjoyed her lunch meat sandwich breakfast the next day while gazing swooningly at the flowers that Tiger had left her after their last date.
& then she harvested her very first crop, these exceptionally dull oranges.
Those oranges went straight into... spaghetti and meatballs...
This magestic creature was lurking about in the garden that night when...
Poof I spied a cloud of smoke under the trees.
Cordelia looked down at her limbs in confusion.
So that's one Gold gardening badge acquired. She was already to silver by this time, anyway. :)
She spent the next 24 hours chatting up her tomatoes.
They were considerably more attractive than her oranges, and would certainly make tastier spaghetti, I should hope.
Once all of the tomatoes were harvested, Cordelia started planning the wedding festivities, and invited some of her dearest people she has met once. Integer, Clue and Madden as well as a crasher, Uffry Coyote (by bondchick_nett), who seems to have come as Clue's date.
Cordelia greeted her fiance in the front garden.
He clearly doesn't mind her new look.
Tiger is one classy dresser.
I'm a fan of adorable sim wedding spam.
& this delightful cat was the only witness, the rest of the guests being too preoccupied by the champagne in the kitchen to attend.
So clearly Cordelia had to get to know her a little better.
Oh, kitty, get in my legacy.
Okay. I'm going to try to note the objectives met at the end of each update:
Oranges & Tomatoes grown successfully. 2/9 (I think there 3 types of trees, 6 types of plants. Yeah?)
Gold Gardening Badge for the founder.
Optional Objectives Met:
Plantsim.
