Chapter 75: Midlife Crises

So Yolanda was struggling with a minor issue.


"MUPH MUPH MUPH MUPH!!!"
You'll be fine. Just come home and change your outfit. The watcher files her nails. It's funny how this game thinks it can beat me with the bugs that crop up. I'm so veteran at this game that the game tries throwing petty invisibility Sims at me to see if I'll crack. Nope. Not me.
"Says the woman talking to her computer screen."
Shush, Echo. Shush.
"Hey look, watcher! I'm all better!"


Told you so.Anyways, Yolanda's at level 6 in her career and things seem to be looking up - she hasn't even aged up to Adult yet... but she doesn't work for another four more days and she only works 3 days in a row after that. That's just... frustrating, but I'm hopeful.



The squad heads out for another ride in the Motive Mobile.
Dagan and Yolanda start making out when I leave them alone for two minutes.


The triplets are on a very carefully monitored skilling schedule. I'm not taking a vacation with them. They're going to earn their skills and get through life and hopefully I can survive a few more generations coasting!


They're working on getting to level 3 of the blocks skill, which will give them a boost in the handiness skill as teens. They've read all toddler books and they've played the xylophone to level 3 as well, so they've got a really decent head-start in life. I'll take what I can get. I originally planned on sending them on a vacation but... we'll just see how I'm feeling. If I want to farm more skill points I can probably do it, but I'm really itching to keep crunching through this challenge too.




So Sheera begins working on her alchemy potions to match her lifetime wish.


Echo has long held onto a wish to learn all the potions - seeing as it's her last big wish she's got, I'm granting it to her.


Yolanda was sent to the library to collect Political Campaign funds from distant relatives.


Just kidding, the Nixes didn't arrive until later. She only ran into non-relatives and they were stingy little meanies.



The filthy potties were upsetting the girls 'chi' as great-great-great grandpa Bradan would call it.
Daddy Dagan to the rescue.


He finished that up just in time to age up to full adult as gracefully as one can.



Which is to say, not very much.
"AH! THE WRINKLES! MY HAIR! I NEED TO MOVE OUT. I NEED A DIVORCE. I NEED TO FLIRT WITH SOMEONE. I NEED TO BUY A FANCY CAR! I NEED TO QUIT MY JOB!"
(The watcher internally cries).
First of all, you have no wrinkles. Your hair is... awful, but we'll fix it. You're not moving ANYWHERE, and if you think you're divorcing your wife who you're CRAZY about you're even more insane than the God of Madness. The watcher takes in a big breath. You'll flirt with someone over my dead body. We already have the Bat-Mobile and finally, you don't even have a JOB!
"MIDLIFE CRISIS."
Why, gods, why?!
(Maniacal laughter fills the room).



Yolanda also aged up that night on the side of the road during her misadventures.



BOOM. Midlife Crisis. You and Dagan just have to do everythingtogether.
Really?
Really?!
Sheera was busy throwing up at the exact same time.


This poor unfortunate soul caught my eye shortly after.



Wait! Pigtailed distant relative Nix? Is that you?!
Pigtailed Distant Relative Nix: CA-CAW.



The girls needed to change out their tabcasts and Echo's potion blew up on her. Sheera had a wish to go to the spa.
Wish granted.


(Watcher lays her head on the desk) I love you guys, but you guys drive me nuts.
"You were already nuts. We just found you like that."
Touche.



I sent Yolanda and Dagan to the hospital to fix their Midlife Crises.


And then they were returned to their normal looks.





Poor Lindsey is missing her Spirit-Person Felix.
Do spirit animals take spirit-people? Is that a thing? It is now.


Not to mention all those creepy dolls... (shivers).



Finally, here's some closeups of the girls who are busy at work.


Serious Anastaisa. "This block thing is so boring."


Serial Killer Arietty. "This block is the color of blood."
You concern me, child.



Sweet Ambriel. "Can we just talk about how amazing these blocks are?"

Ah, the triplets.
