Welcome to more Oasis Springs Society. The rotational save that makes you go “hmm”.
And then probably shrug your shoulders in apathy. But I enjoy playing these little pixels and writing about them! So we carry on!
Last time with the Coopers…. Dates were had, Logan and Rocco moved out, Winterfest was celebrated and with the kids growing up, Nancy looked for ways to fill more of her free time.
I must admit, the start of the rotation felt a little empty without Logan in the house anymore. So the family went out to the pub in Windenburg to spend some time. As you can see, Florence is loving winning this game against her parents.
And even Sam has joined us!
It actually looks like wholesome family fun doesn’t it!
But, wholesome family fun comes to an end for a gathering of the whole crew at home!
Umm thanks Rocco. I was stunned to find that no one actually likes him. Everyone has a very minimal friendship bar with him and I’ve noticed when left to their own devices, he often argues with the rest of the crew. Oh well, there’s always one black sheep and it takes the heat off of Quartz doesn’t it.
Cliff has come prepared for the water slide. I like to think because he’s good friends with Johnny, he gave him the heads up to bring his swim trunks!
The only concern I do have with Cliff though, is that he still has an irrational fear of the dark / just being outside in general. When I played his rotation a while ago he developed a fear of the dark, and I couldn’t cure it in time so moved rotations. Ever since, the fear is no longer showing in Cliff’s simology page, but he still freaks out like it is. He’s been like this for so long now that I’m now past the point of caring. But he often goes around screaming at people.
The Morgan’s are of course being the Morgan’s.
And Florence decides to show Walter a selfie. Soon, Florence, soon. You age up tomorrow and then you can be together again.
The next day Kirby and Walter stop by. Which is convenient that they’re already here for the party!
I love these ladies so much!
And it just slays me that Walter (who is actually very respectful) always greets Florence’s father, Johnny, with a handshake.
Logan has also come back home for the party. In fact, pretty much the entire Oasis Springs Society is here.
Even though Logan would rather get cereal whilst his sister is aging up. And you will notice through the window that Johnny’s pull to the water slide is just too strong.
At least we still have Syrah to be a general sweetheart and celebrate.
After Florence ages up, Walter immediately pulls her in for a kiss. He really is smitten with her and always has been!
Florence is now self assured, mean, dastardly, happy toddler bonus trait and her aspiration remains chief of mischief.
It’s smooches all round as the party comes to an end. Everyone seems to have had a good time.
I was a little bit stuck with the direction to take Florence. I had always pictured her being the villain of this generation, but she simply isn’t mean enough. Not when compared to Quartz at least. She’s incredibly clever and quite independent, even with Walter head over heels in love with her, Florence really doesn’t seem that bothered. It was at this point, that the Jungle Adventure pack was being given away for free by Epic Games and I thought, this may be the unexpected direction I need…
So the family take a little holiday. Johnny loves the relaxed vibe of this place. Nancy immediately came in and started cleaning. I can imagine her being the sort of mum who doesn’t trust that the rental property has been cleaned to her standards after the last guests!
Sam joins us too of course! I figured he’d like the exercise. And I love this shot of Florence enjoying her first day on vacation.
The parents seem to be enjoying themselves too!
Nancy: “This place truly is beautiful isn’t it?”
We take a trip in to the village. Some of us have different motives to each other.
For Florence it is a chance to buy supplies for her to start looking for artefacts…
For the OG Oasis Springs Society, it’s a chance to try the delights of the local booze.
Hilariously, because this is the Sims and anything can happen, Vihaan was also here??
Florence: “Oh hey, Vihaan? Fancy seeing you here in the middle of the Selvadorada jungle?!”
Vihaan: “Hey Florence! Yeah, weird huh?! Well I’m just here to see the local sights, have a little vacation somewhere warm you know?”
Florence: “I see, well I’m going to be doing some exploring… have a great time Vihaan. Just one question though…”
Florence: “… why are you here with your ex wife?”
Yes, you can’t write it. Sofia Bjergsen has for some reason come to the middle of the jungle with Vihaan? Of all the other ladies Vihaan could have invited, he chooses her?! Maybe he’s trying to lure her to some of Selvadorada’s poisonous offerings?
Back in the cantina, it doesn’t take much for these two to be all over each other anyway (they are my most loved up couple!), but exotic drinks and the atmosphere of the place mean that these Florence and Johnny are giving multiple displays of affection.
In fact, they’re not even that bothered that their beloved daughter is going off galavanting in the jungle.
This place is really beautiful isn’t it?!
Anyway, please enjoy some pictures of Florence doing some cool explorer things.
And yes, it is chucking it down and she gets soaked.
So beautiful! I am actually quite impressed with this pack, so far I’m having fun. And Florence so far has actually found a fair few artefacts that she will need to validate.
Florence’s parents however have basically not moved from the cantina for the duration of the trip. Nancy is missing her friends from home it seems and decides to chat with these ladies. Her gossip just doesn’t hit the same as it does with Kirby and Chiara!
Florence opts for a different outfit the next day which may be more suited to the downpours she has experienced so far in the jungle.
Although I think it is definitely better for Florence to be out of the small vacation lot, as when these two aren’t drinking, they’re flirting.
Good boy Sam joins Florence for her exploring today.
But now our vacation is over. And it’s time for a quick swim before we head home.
Normality resumes.
Including Johnny’s definition of normality…
Johnny: “Oh water slide, I have missed you!”
Florence makes. a start examining her artefacts. It seems to be taking an age though, and I’m not sure if she’s doing it right? Maybe something to explore next rotation.
But anyway, she’s invited out for coffee by one of the Selvadorada locals she met on her trip.
They go to one of the nice coffee shops in Windenburg. And hey, he’s pretty cute! And it is love day…
We just so happen to bump in to Chiara, who completely isn’t bothered that Florence is on some form of date with this guy and not Walter…
And well, it certainly seems like she’s drawn to him….
Back at home, Florence continues her archeology whilst thinking about the options for her romantic interests… but that’s all we have time for this rotation.
Join us next time for more fun, adventure, and what will happen with Florence’s love interests? Your guess is as good as mine!
