We’ve hit Spring Friday in this Chill Valicer Save update, and you know what that means -- Love Day! :D And you know what that means?
It means I took 85 pictures of this particular playsession. Well, technically, I took even MORE than that, but these are the 85 that I wanted to share with you. Yes, we have progressed to the point of having NINE-PART updates sometimes. So, uh, in the interest of not wasting any time, let’s get right to it!
-->Started with Smiler, taking advantage of there being enough power to run some of their appliances properly for a change, plopping Elmer on the robot workbench and tuning the little bot up before setting it free in the greenhouse to take care of the gardening for Victor. I mean, Victor’s level 10 now, he doesn’t NEED to do it himself anymore except when it comes to planting new stuff. Always nice to have a little helper around the house!
-->While this was happening, I spotted Shadow looping through the poles on the obstacle course. NOW you do it. *facepalm* Silly dog.
-->With the greenhouse taken care of, Smiler kept doing chores -- namely, scrubbing the downstairs bathroom sink (seriously, look at how grody that is) and putting on a load of laundry (again, because the house could actually power the washer for a change). Clean house and clean clothes equal happy Sims, after all!
-->Alice ended up woken up by Kelly’s meows -- as we’d both learned that lecturing the cat for waking Sims up tends to go badly, Alice instead just threw on a warm sweater and played “laser mousie” with her kitty. Before taking a very brief Wolf Nap on the floor to keep her energy up and keep her “Must Hibernate” temperament satisfied. Being a werewolf is weird sometimes, is what I’m saying. :p
-->While that was going on, Victor woke up from hunger, and I decided to send him downstairs and see what Delicioso had on the menu. Turned out to be a salad, which, unusual for breakfast, but okay. He ate that, then went to leash up Shadow for a walk while Smiler recycled some trash and Alice, also hungry, grabbed some meat out of fridge to make steak tartare. I know her awesome knife skills in that last picture is because she’s Cooking 10, but I like to think her Vorpal Blade prowess has something to do with it too. XD

So I know the quality sucks and we don't get any better quality to compare, but I just wanted to point out that, yes. Baby Carlo has freckles. Very few of them. But you can see the ones he had since he was a wee young lad standing out in his painting.
Go ahead and go into the game and stand in front of the portrait. Compare their faces. I'll wait c:
Here's a full/clean version of his portrait if you want to stare at it
So anyways like I was saying before--

-->They immediately arrived in the middle of a thunderstorm! *facepalm* I SWEAR, every time I travel... I promptly got the weather machine out of Build/Buy, stuck it on the right side of the lot (where it seemed least likely to block Sim traffic), and had Smiler set it to “clear skies” while Victor and Alice amused themselves with some chess (Alice won, to Victor’s slight annoyance XD). Smiler was successful and went to chat with them as the weather slowly but surely cleared up (though the game took its price by busting their umbrella), then – once the skies were blue and everyone was out of their wet clothes and into nice dry warm weather outfits – I had Victor challenge Smiler to a match while I sent Alice off to a nearby easel in the world to paint some of the benches and trees in the frankly very pretty cherry-blossom tree park behind her. :) Victor managed to win the game against Smiler – guess he was determined to make up for his loss to Alice. XD Once I was sure they were done, I had Smiler head to the front of the park and drink a plasma fruit to make sure they weren’t thirsty, then had Victor hit them with the old Scruberoo to make sure they were clean –
-->And then had Smiler set up the snack stand and start a food sale! Featuring Alice’s strawberry fizz cupcakes, pumpkin spice waffles, blueberry pie, and remaining banana split waffles from the last sale (which – I THOUGHT the game had said were spoiled when I first looked in Smiler’s inventory, but then they were fine again after I started moving items into the stand? O.o Game, what – actually, I won’t complain about you unspoiling my food, carry on) and Victor’s everything bagels. Things were a bit slow at first, so I left Smiler tending the table and instead focused on keeping Victor busy with collecting insects (a couple of locusts fluttering around the park) and making a digital painting of a bench by the big circle fountain a little ways away (which ended up being a masterpiece, nice). Once Victor was sufficiently occupied, I checked back in on Smiler, but only one potential customer had shown up – dude named Patrick who I recognized from the last update at the grocery store. Well, at least that suggested he would buy something! I had Smiler give him a sales pitch, which didn’t seem to do much unfortunately –
Then realized Victor was already done with his painting, whoops. Forgot the ones on the digital sketchpad go WAAAY faster than the ones on the easel! I had him come back and plant a bluebell in the public planters in the park, then tend the plants and before settling in for a bit of cloudgazing while I went back to Smiler. A few more people had shown up by this point, including Marcus Flex and L. Faba from the Magic Realm. Smiler greeted and made insta-friends with Marcus Flex, as is their wont, picking up a new like for High-Energy Sims in the process (seems legit). I kept an eye on them and tried to have them hit as many Sims with sales pitches as they could –
