A note flashes on the screen: today’s epidode will appear to jump ahead quite a bit from where from where we last off. The producers lost valuable footage of Paris’ adventures in France and Juan and Paris’ adventure in Egypt. (But since this isn’t an adventure walkthrough guide..heheheh… I guess thats okay. Mostly I took them there to give Juan more time toward his LTW and to get Paris some Pomegranates and stuff to grow for nectar making)
I couldn’t think of a more creative title, to be honest. One thing that happened was I let too long go on between when I took the pictures and uploaded them. … leaving me once more scratching my head and thinking “What the heck was I thinking when I took that?”
No, I haven’t abandoned my Mystics. Instead I’m going to start another Wishful living family, this one with a slight twist.
A little bit of background first… we currently have two PC’s in the house. The Mystic family is on one..and previously my son preferred to use the other computer, allowing me to sim in peace. Lately, however, he’s been using the PC the Mystics are on…so there are large chunks of time when I can’t get to play on that PC. But the other one is free. At some point I may try and copy my save games on a flash drive to transfer from one PC to the other, but for now I’ve just got to go with the flow.
So I decided to start another wishful living family on the “other” PC. But as I said earlier, this one is going to have a twist.
I’ll pick up about where I left off last time. I had sent generation 2 twins Dare and Chance Mystic to China by themselves in an effort to finish up Dare’s lifetime wish to be a martial arts master. (He’d already gotten level 10 in martial arts skill which is half the requirements for that wish.)
Well, I’m back to the smart-a$$ed commentary… partially because the narrative style is harder for me to do..and partially because I suck at taking pictures in game. I get so involved with playing that I forget to take a picture. Or if I do, I take pictures and look back later going “Why the h@ll did I take that? What was I thinking?”
Brandon returned to Al-Simhara as soon as he could. He wanted to continue his adventures, of course..it was part of his lifetime wish. The other reason was his desire to pursue a relationship with Nabila. He could think of nothing else after hearing her say that he had been in her thoughts often.
His first stop upon arrival was at the Moussa household. His heart pounding in nervous anticipation, he rang the bell.
Brandon Mystic loved travelling. He loved meeting new people, seeing new places and trying out new cuisines. And he was lucky enough to have finances enough to live out his dreams..and unencumbered with family obligations which might curtail his travels. Still, there were times when he found himself lonely… wishing he had someone to turn to and be able to say, “Wow, would you look at that!”
Well, before we talk about France, let’s take a moment to see Brandon having a bit of trouble in China. He was doing the adventure in Dong Ho’s tomb, I think. And as (bad) luck would have it, he got caught in between two or three sleep dart traps… literally stumbling from one into the other and then eventually getting stuck behind a stairwell. Ouch! That looks painful.
Back in the days of Sims 2, I had a legacy founder I adored… due to harddrive crashes (remember to back up your files, kiddies!) I lost the family, but never quite forgot my founder. Continue reading
