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.

Oo-Oo! Oo-Oo!! Dance party over here! Shake your groove thang!!

There's a dancing scholarship? How do you get that?

The snapdragon bouquet is made of awesome. But watch your sims aspiration or they can make one that will backfire (well, maybe that would be good storywise. . .).

I use the snapdragon bouquets in my Apocalypse Challenge house. It makes it almost too easy.

I think the "pointing finger" icon over her head indicates that those are the influence points she received for the achievement; the aspiration points were probably quite a bit higher. So cheer up! :-)

I adore your Strangetown stories!

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!

Woot! That's an achievement, a gold badge. But beware the snapdragon (my son! the jaws that bite, the claws that... stun!) I had a sim make a bunch of them and stuck them around the house, then my sims hardly slept and it almost took the fun out of playing. I ended up sticking them in inventory except for when I needed them. ^_^

Ripp and Johnny dancing are very cute. I notice Johnny is extra stylish in his green tracksuit.

WTG Phi! Those pics are so cute, thanks to Johnny and Ripp "helping out" lol. There's a scholarship for DANCING? I rarely let my sims dance, especially when there are toilets to scrub and showers to clean! *is a slavedriver*

Aww that's cute. :D

Ripp is definitely one of my all time favorite sims, along with Johnny. Never have played Ophelia much; but I must admit your story makes her a bit more interesting to me!

My all time favorite OFB object is the evil kite. (devil) I'm just sayin'!

I love that Johnny's blond hair and green skin totally coordinate with his tracksuit! XD

I've not experimented much with talent badges & OFB, but I once had a sim who made a water wiggler for his young children to play with in summer. Extremely cute, and very fun! :D
It would provide excellent photo-taking opportunities, I think!
