a sim of many hats

Flipping burgers, kicking shiitakes, making pretty girls blush.

...The townies are doing what now?! 👀

finally had the chance to have a proper poke around Paralives and naturally that meant making two of my favorite Sims (I miss them so much 😭)

lowkey obsessed with how they came out? what a gift to wake up from post-apocalyptic Evergreen Harbor to a charming city like Melino 💗

It's the morning of Wednesday, Spring 3, Year 1, and Anisa takes her first shower since getting on the train to come to her new life in Melino.

She also makes some Hazelnut Spread Toast again, which I mistakenly called Nutella Toast the other day. And she's able to cook it (Level 2) without any chance of burning down the kitchen for this dish. Although Egg Sandwich (Level 3) is another story.

Today's Anisa's day-off, so we have her take the bus to the Community Center (bottom picture), which happens to drop her off opposite a view of the Communal Graveyard/Mausoleum.

I don't like the UI for donating to the Community Center and the Museum. I feel that there should be more visual feedback on what donation bundles you are completing by selecting the current items in your inventory, or what your potential donation score is for the Musuem Donation Progress when you select the current items in your inventory.

The Museum Shop looks beautiful, while the Museum exhibition displays look empty for now, because we have yet to fill it with our donations...

There's a lady with a quest marker near the Community Center, so Anisa speaks with her. Turns out she wants us to play good piano at the Castle Plaza. Anisa plays Für Elise, although badly, pressing single note keys, although our Music Skill is 3 or 4. So that should count for something right?

It's evening, and we decide to check the Request Board to see if there are any quests we want to take. We have just one, about buying plants at Bloom which we've already done on Monday. So we skip it for now.

Anisa shows up at the Astronomy Club's meeting place at the Park behind her house, and runs into Maggie. Turns out, Maggie is an Astronomer by profession, so this little get-together was organised by her.

Anisa decides to flirt a little, by Talking about Romantic Song, which lands successfully with Maggie and puts Anisa in a slightly Flirty mood...

Our Personality Profile levels up to Level 3, and Anisa gains a Vibe unlock - "Need to Move", which is a tangible "need meter" under the Needs Panel. So now, Anisa needs to keep moving on top of her regular needs.

Anisa gains Maggie Vaughan as a potential Love Interest, and performs another successful flirt by talking about having romantic thoughts when listening to music.
