Welcome back! It’s been some time, but we’re just two chapters away from the end of the Landgraabacy! After that keep an eye out for a bonus chapter or two (ah epilogues, my favorite). Hopefully it won’t take me another year to finish two chapters… No promises!
*ahem* Anyway, last time we saw our recalcitrant heir, Adelynn had just met a new beau, the super cute jungle native Sergio. And turned her sister into a skeleton. So things got weird… Well weirder.
Griffon: Are you freaking kidding me? Again?
Adelynn: I like you better this way.
Apparently Griffon is meant to spend her whole life as a skeleton.
Griffon: Well at least I can annoy you with this really bad marimba music. Those lessons from Salvatore sure paid off *snickers*
…Where’d you get the extra hands?
Griffon: Wouldn’t you like to know.
Adelynn: And here goes another bust.
Grrrrahhhhh. Is all we’re ever going to find is more stupid mood altering berries?
Adelynn: I also found A LOT of bees.
The jungle is convinced it has to kill us. You have to live long enough to have a baby! If you die now, I’m going to smash something.
Adelynn: You always have Griffon.
Griffon: You see a womb up in here? Nope, didn’t think so.
Well that’s a bust. I stand by my original statement. No dying in the jungle Adelynn! And you know, isn’t it high time you went back to camp and did some flirting?
Adelynn: No, no it’s not.
I can’t hear you. Lalalalala.
Ah yes, those are looks of two people deeply in love.
Adelynn: Where’s my machete? I think a gut wound would be more enjoyable than this.
Sergio: Um, check please? Someone? Help?
You aren’t even in a restaurant. What’s wrong with the two of you?
Adelynn: It’s almost like you’re forcing a complete loner to interact with an almost complete stranger for your own debase entertainment and to accomplish a goal most people can crank out in like 6 months, but you’ve already spent 5 years on. Oh yeah, and that goal is to make me have a baby with said stranger as soon as humanly possible so it doesn’t extend into 6 years.
You know what? Go die in the jungle.
Adelynn: Yay jungle!
Ha karma is a bitch! Eat that!
Adelynn: If I die you’re hosed. If I live, you still seem hosed.
I hate it when the sims get smart.
Just open it up already, we only have two left.
Adelynn: You know maybe I’ll just wet myself instead.
I retract my previous statement about you being smart. Treasure chest full of gold and mystical artifacts > soiling yourself. I promise.
Adelynn: Ok, got the lackluster rewards. Now to soil myself!
That is not what I meant.
Fast forward basic sim care that I still can’t manage…
This seems fine.
Adelynn: Golden pointy spears being held by skeletons equals fine. Got that in my notes. Who knows what world changing revelations will come from that entry.
You know what? This is your lifetime aspiration miss. I only want ONE, count it, ONE baby and we can be done.
Adelynn: Nah, I think I’ll pull this spooky lever instead.
Adelynn: Ok, I should not have pulled the spooky lever.
It feels like we’ve been doing this for years and not getting any better at it. But that’s probably just lazy programming to make all the puzzles random and not really puzzles. *ahem*
Adelynn: On that happy note, here’s chest number two. I feel like I’m going to die.
Great. Time for some romance?
Adelynn: NO.
Well if I can’t have romance at the very least we can have a FAMILY VACATION.
Adelynn: You are actively punishing me now, aren’t you?
Nothing says finishing your aspiration like a family vacation to the jungle!
Katarina: Where is the spa? I was promised a spa. I demand to see the manager!
Griffon: We’re all doomed.
Suck it up Landgraabs, time for some family bonding!
This seemed like a good idea at the time, but then I realized I am bad at Sims and having eight people explore a deadly temple (while also trying to keep a coherent story and reach a specific goal) may have been reaching. Just a little.
But anyway, into the last temple! Somewhere in the depths of that bad boy is the key to finishing this legacy!
But first… Seriously? Who puts holiday decorations on an ancient tomb? We weren’t even allowed to touch Chitzen Itza, let along hang lights and glittery stars from it.
Katarina: What is this? This filth is absolutely destroying my shoes! Do you have any idea how much these cost?!
Ellis: Even though it’s raining it’s still technically day and I’m gonna burst into flame like any second.
Adelynn: This is how we all die.
That’s the spirit.
Salvatore: Adelynn! Long time no se-
Adelynn: Nope. Not now.
Salvatore: But we haven’t seen each other since my wedding. Don’t you want to know how I’ve been doing? Or the name of my husband?
Adelynn: Now is really not the time. *temple rumbles ominously*
Temple Idol: You brought people to my sacred domain! We had a deal Adelynn Landgraab. You have betrayed our sacred trust.
Salvatore: … You look busy. I’ll just be leaving now.
Adelynn: Good plan.
Griffon: Human again, to be human again!
And be swimming in centuries old muck!
Griffon: Don’t ruin this for me. Who knows how long I won’t be a skeleton.
Adelynn! How goes the super important temple delving?
Adelynn: Well I calmed the VERY angry temple spirit by bargaining my eternal soul. So there’s that. And this thing looks like it could be dangerous, so we’d better leave it alone for now.
Claire: La la la. This definitely seems safe and perfectly ok to step on.
Adelynn: Why do I even try?
It’s your own fault that you’re dying.
Claire: How was I supposed to know that was seriously dangerous?
Pop quiz time!
Because:
a) you were in an ancient temple
b) it was clearly labeled as a trap
c) Adelynn had JUST TOLD YOU it was dangerous and would likely hurt you
Pick your favorite.
Adelynn: Ok, we’re done. Can we get out of here before anymore of my family catches on fire?
Aw, that almost sounds like you care about them.
Adelynn: Too many unexplained deaths will sour my reputation with the locals and negate my entire aspiration.
There it is.
And that is how you finish an aspiration. Now onward! To babies!
Adelynn: Crap.
And that, dear readers, is where I will leave you. Thank you for your wonderful (and continued) support of the Landgraabs and this crazy legacy. We’re only one chapter away from the finale, so tune in soon and let’s wrap this sucker up in style! Stay safe, stay sane, and happy simming!
Claire: Worst. Vacation. Ever.
