Henry’s next acting gig was a guest appearance on a sitcom called The Urbz.
The Sims 4’s flavor text is beyond compare!
Henry acted his little heart out again. He hit all his marks and took a lot of risks, and they all paid off. Good work, Henry!
It was time for the twins’ birthday party when he arrived home. I was determined to host the girls’ party somewhere other than their house. I also wanted to be sure they each had their own birthday cake. As an only child, I always felt like it was unfair to expect twins to share everything. Let them have their own cakes, dammit!
Unfortunately, this meant I had to spend an entire real-world hour micromanaging the baking process:
- Tell Henry to bake a cake.
- Henry got distracted. Tell Henry to resume baking the cake.
- Henry got distracted again. Tell Henry to resume baking the cake again.
- Tell Henry to put the completed cake on the table, then immediately put it into his inventory.
- Too slow! Another Sim grabbed a slice of the cake before Henry put it into his inventory.
- Tell Henry to bake a second cake.
- Henry got distracted. Tell Henry to resume baking the cake.
- Extinguish the kitchen fire. Replace the oven.
- Tell Henry to bake a third cake.
- Henry got distracted. Tell Henry to resume baking the cake.
- etc
By the time I successfully had two baked cakes in Henry’s inventory, I was in such a state that Marshall checked in on me.
“Are you okay?” He asked.
“I’m fine, but I want the girls to have cake for their birthday, and I keep baking cakes, and he keeps getting distracted and,” cue a long, frustrated rant.
This is what it’s like to live with a Sims player. Sorry, Marshall! Go back to judging horse clothes and leave me out of it.
I chose the Discotheque Pan Europa in Windenberg as the birthday party venue. Time to blow out the candles, and please take extra time to appreciate the cake, dear! I put a lot of work into it!
Please note Molly Jr.’s hand-knit socks. She knit them herself!
Molly III’s cake picture turned out goofy-looking. My first impulse was to not post it because it’s so unflattering.
Then I remembered these aren’t real people. So here you go.
I hired a DJ specifically so that everyone could dance after having cake. But like most professional event services you hire in The Sims 4, the DJ completely flaked on his job.
I eventually managed to get the music turned on.
What good is a dance party if it doesn’t end with everyone standing around the dance floor looking awkward?
