A Goth Aside, take one

Hi there! Instead of writing up the Gen 3 summary of chapters 1-26, I'm doing something else today. I decided to just play the Goths to have some stress-free fun.

And it starts out like this:

I'm... thinking I should've had her say yes. Silly me and the sanctity of marriage thing (at least as far as this family goes)(maybe). She said no, but I have to wonder what that would've done for the story...

Yeah. Haven't used it yet.

Like, really? -.-

Another thing I haven't tried yet. She doesn't have the right ingredients.

Ya know, for all this 'I'm playing them to play the game,' I have still plenty of things left undone.

Friends of Alaric's. I took these pics to help me remember. Names are subject to change, especially Daichi. My game overuses that one.

I swear I keep reading urologist.

I had no idea the impact this would have. You see, I want Emily to go to the alien world hidden lot.
The way you get there is with the spaceship, right?

Well, yeah. Um...

I consider this mission a fail since this stupid thing is all that came of it.

Another fail. I'd gotten this line of questioning before. I assumed this was the golden one since it's similar to how you get to other hidden lots. Fail.

Fail.

Then this happens. I decided to make a .gif to show the order of events.

Alexander is having better luck.

Completed this one immediately.

Haven't done this one yet either. She didn't have any mushrooms.

I'd guessed I should just go ahead and have Alex in the actual career path he has in the story. Then, his latest aspiration (renaissance sim) says he needs to be level 3 in at least 2 different career paths, I change his career. To writer. Whatever. It's believable.

So yeah. Emily. With all that rocketing, she came about this easily. (still haven't figured out how to get to Sixam yet)

This is great! I hovered over what the butler was reading.

What? Give Mommy a tainted serum? Brielle wasn't even on the lot, not that I would've fulfilled this work assignment for Em's.

Yay! I accomplished something! :D Surely this will get Em to the alien lot. XD

Now to just calibrate it...

Yay! Maybe now something will happen! (this was over several days, btw. I'd been wanting this to work, and I didn't want to look up how to do it.)

And THIS is the only thing that happens. I get an alien visitor. It's not even a full-blooded alien, either. This is Finn's youngest son. All he does is play around on Alex's computer.

So, aggravated, I go online and look it up.

OHHHHHH!!!! I had all the ingredients but didn't put them all together to make the recipe to get Em's to Sixam.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

Finally. I go all collector crazy before sending Emily home exhausted. :D

That's enough for one installment. Next time (yeah, a next time) will talk about Alex's new career (game not story) and give insight on how I'm building up Alaric's character the real way. :)
