Strangetown extras: The gardening club and other achievements
Between snapdragons, hobby lots, vacations, the new aspiration meters, and all of the associated rewards, things have never been easier for Johnny, Ripp, and Ophelia. Life is good.
Ophelia's garden earned her a membership into the garden club and a wishing well. Sweet! This is the first time I've ever tried to get into the club, and I really didn't expect to do so well. I thought her garden was pretty small, but it seems to have been enough for the elite gardening club. It helps that the plants are in great condition, and I added some extra decorative elements before they showed up, just to play it safe.
This gives you an idea of what the garden looks like. I moved things around a little after this shot was taken to fit the well in there.
Johnny thinks that Phi is pretty hot when she's being all cute and making a wish like that (well, doing anything really... he's a chronic heart sprayer for Phi). Ripp is enjoying his hammock, as usual.
They wait, expectantly, while Ripp daydreams about Johnny. (They do a really bizarre hand gesture when they daydream on the hammock. Just look at it.)
Ophelia clearly does not need any extra friends or romance, so she picked money. A sack of $1,000 simoleans falls from the sky. That will make up for the money she spent on the finishing touches for her garden, so it worked out nicely.
After the wish is used up, the well remains as a decorative item, and sims can also drink from it.
Isn't that a great little animation? Ripp is just drenching himself with that water.
I think it's really sweet that the trio can mostly maintain their aspiration levels just by interacting with each other. They always have a couple of wants for playing with, entertaining, or appreciating each other. Ripp is telling Johnny an inside joke in this pic.
Johnny finally gained access to the Dreamy Fields hobby lot (all that axe throwing in Three Lakes really paid off), so he went for some training. Only a couple more points and he'll have maxed body skill. Some guys might be a little embarrassed to have a petite blonde in a leotard train them, but not Johnny. He's totally cool with that.
Ripp is also quite okay with the hobby leader. He has three bolts with her. *snicker* Oh, Ripp. I think this must be the result of his combined vacation and aspiration romance benefits. So, as you can see, this is the sort of training that Ripp received on the hobby lot.
Johnny and Ophelia seem to be supervising. Nice work, Ripp!
Yes, ladies, he's just a force of nature. Do not attempt to resist.
But wait... even the guys seem to be catching on.
Johnny: Okay, so maybe I HAVE noticed that you seem to be getting a lot hotter lately.
Ripp: It's about time you admitted it.

Now I'm really looking forward to old man Johnny. I'm going to have him keep his signature hairstyle, so he's going to look like an old geezer who couldn't let go of the hair gel. I don't want him to grow old, but that's going to be pretty awesome.
With the new romance benefits, Ripp really is unstoppable. He'll have no trouble achieving his LTW once he's out of college. He certainly has the "friend" requirement for promotion.
I can't wait to see how often this "Ripp is hot" topic comes up in conversation now. I'll bet that everyone will start dreaming about it too. :P
