strangetomato | Strangetown extras: Ophelia rocks!

Okay, so I just wanted to brag about Ophelia's achievement in obtaining her gold talent badge for flower arranging, and show a cute photo or two. This is actually the first sim of mine to reach this level of flower arranging (I haven't had OFB all that long), so I'm excited to see the snapdragon bouquets in action.

Go Ophelia! That's the big payoff above her head. Shouldn't she get more aspiration points than that? Come on! I guess she probably would if she was a fortune or knowledge sim... but she did have the want (which I locked). Oh well. Ophelia rolled the want to buy a flower arranging table back when she was a teen, quite randomly, and it worked nicely into the story. She's moved on to gardening now.

Check out Johnny and Ripp over there "helping" her while she's working. As I mentioned before, her room is the biggest and becomes the place they end up hanging out in all of the time, since the stereo is in there too. The dancing happens autonomously. Johnny, in particular, always heads up there to turn it on and then dance or just hang out on the bed. Lots of autonomous relaxing going on around here.

Aren't they cute? They're all really good dancers (by sim standards). If I recall, they all received that college scholarship for dancing. Sometimes they just break into little dance offs like this for fun. Oh, I just love them.

I've never had a sim reach the gold talent badge with flower arranging, and I think I've had OFB for a year. Now, after reading the comments, I'll have to try getting a sim up to gold, just to try making the snapdragon bouquet.

Yay, for information! Congrats, Phi!

I have La Fiesta Tech set to permanent Autumn, so that probably helped. They get a boost in skill building during that season. Strangetown is perma-Summer, so relationship building is improved.

This is the first talent badge that I've maxed out. I need to get around to creating a servo at some point too, though I have no idea how that might work in the story yet (some vague ideas, but I'm not sure).

I don't even remember what you can make with a gold toy making badge... can anyone fill me in?

The gold toy making badge will garner you the Water Wiggler, a sprinkler for the lawn. Sims can play and jump around in the sprinkler. The evil version will just make puddles, I think.

Oh, how cool! That would keep them cool under the hot sun, wouldn't it?

I think it's the water wiggler, for gold toy.

I've thought of setting uni settings to perma fall. Except that it always seems like most people goof off in real unis during the spring. So maybe a fall/spring setting would work... *goes to experiment*
