22. UNDER THE TENT

Klara was practicing her lectures when suddenly she got a call from Piotr's school. Piotr had started a food fight in the cafeteria, which most of the students joined. They're still cleaning up the mess.

Klara: Well, I guess that's what you call a born leader. We'll talk to him at home.



Klara: Just one more dot, and... done!

Akito: Bravo! Another book finished. Which one is it? "Emotions Are Simtastic"?

Klara: No, this one's "The Monster Under the Bed." I think I should write something about school food fights and rebellion phases too.

Akito: I’ve got an idea. Let’s go camping for Spring Day. The boys can enjoy the fresh air, and we can relax as well. (And I definitely need it after my last lost battle.)



During a scouting meeting, Filip found a strange tree. He had never seen anything like it before. He started investigating it and suddenly discovered a passage. Carefully, he stepped inside and began climbing down, following a strange sound... When he finally made it through the dense mist, he emerged onto a bright glade! What is this place? His phone's GPS started acting up as if the spot didn’t exist on the map! And such unique frog species! Filip must bring his troop here.



Suddenly, Filip woke up. But the memory of the strange glade was still vivid. He decided he would find this place again someday.

Klara: Wake up, kids, we’re going on a camping trip! Three Lakes awaits!

Piotr: Awesome! I’m ready!

Klara: We’re going to have an amazing time out in nature.



Unfortunately, the weather isn’t cooperating for now, though it doesn’t stop the boys from having a blast. Klara, on the other hand, has already been bitten by mosquitoes.

Ranger: Welcome, friends! I’m Loario, your friendly forest ranger. I know all about camping, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Akito: Do you have axe-throwing competitions here? Or log balancing on water? Maybe we could spot a Yeti?

Ranger: Whoa, whoa! This isn’t Sims 2. But you can fish, toss horseshoes, or light a campfire.



In the meantime, an unexpected guest sneaked into their tent.

Klara: Did you all see that BEAR too?! Or was I hallucinating??



Klara: Seriously, no one else saw the bear last night besides me?

Akito: Maybe you ate some funny mushrooms in the woods and had visions?

Piotr: Mom, today is Spring Day, and I wanted to hunt for eggs, but the interaction is unavailable here...

Klara: Sorry, sweetheart, but look, we can toss horseshoes instead.

Piotr: Horseshoes? Really? How BORING!



But in the end, everyone found something fun to do.



Filip caught several large fish, earning his final scouting badge and receiving the Scout Lamacorn award. He also completed his Little Explorer aspiration!

Meanwhile, Piotr met the Flower Bunny.

Piotr: Do you know why I can’t hunt for eggs here?

Bunny: Not sure. Simternet doesn’t say whether it’s a bug or intentional.



The last family photo with Filip as a child. Time to blow out the candles—Filip is becoming a teenager!

Filip’s Traits: Loves Outdoors, Bro, Relatable, Scouting Aptitude, Quick Learner, Great Explorer Badge

Aspiration: Goal Oriented

Piotr: Why are you suddenly so buff? A moment ago, you were shorter and had a bigger belly than me. Now you’re as tall as Dad.

Filip: That’s just how this game works, kid.



The next day is Mischief Day. Time to fulfill the tradition!

Filip: What’s that stain??

Piotr: Where?

Filip: Haha, I can’t believe you fell for that.

Piotr: Hey! I’m the funny one in this family. Don’t steal my personality trait!

Filip: Relax, kid! I’m just completing today’s holiday tradition.



Bear: Arrr!!!

Filip: AAAA!!!

Bear: Hahaha!

Filip: Hey, what’s going on? Are you a Sim?!

Bear: Did you really think EA made real bears??!!

Filip: So, was it you my mom saw earlier?

Bear: Either me or another costumed tourist. It’s a form of entertainment here.



The last stroll through the woods and some souvenir photos from camping—time to head back to Finchwick.

Mako Island Filip: I think it's here. Nalani: I was waiting for you. Filip briefly told Nalani about the situation. She revealed that she already received the news and managed to ask the dolphins for help. Nalani: They should know something by now, wait here while I check. Nalani: It's worse than I thought! Your daughter is in danger. She was tricked by 3 sisters, mermaids who are under a Voodoo curse. They live in Losts Haven and have been trying to lift the curse for years. They believe they need to drink the essence of a newly transformed mermaid to lift the curse. They have already turned her into mermaid and prepared the ritual! Your daughter thinks it's a mermaid initiation ritual, but if she eats the cake, cowplant will devour her! All that will be left is her essence! We must save her immediately! Meanwhile, the ritual has begun in the Lost Haven. Bea seems to have some doubts. But she is soon enchanted by a wild dance of fire. Maira: O Mighty Goddess! Accept our fi...

Chronicles of Del Sol Valley Izi's parents decided to take a break from the hustle of an ordinary city and went to an extraordinary city, full of celebrities on every corner. San Sequoia was close, so they first came to visit Izi, and then they started the actual vacation in Del Sol Valley. Hotspots were everywhere and full of famous Sims. Yuki: Bailey-Moons at 11:00, don't look. Piotr: Honey, I actually have 1 star more than Olivia, I can say hello. He did so, and then everyone went dancing in a club. And besides, Piotr has an even more refined palate than Izi, it clearly runs in the family... Yuki was a bit tired and went on her own to relax in the jacuzzi. Soon her husband joined her. Maybe something would come out of it in a public place, but... Yuki kept dozing off 😅 The next day she felt ashamed. Yuki: Sorry for yesterday, it was probably the warm jacuzzi water. Piotr: Or the drinks we had before. Piotr: Look, I have a rush, it's probably because of jacuzzi. How will...

  Chronicles of  San Sequoia Vampire: Mom! Dad! That's this crazy woman who attacked me! She's checking our mailbox! Izi [to herself]: Attacked? Oh, yes, I remember, "my first vampire"... 4 vampires on 1, hm... should I fight or run?  Vampire: And now she's talking to herself! She's really insane! Skye: What's going on? Izi? That's you? Vampire: I'll teach her a lesson! Now I'm much more powerful! Skye: NO! Stefan, we don't attack people. Izi: What? Stefan: But technically, she attacked me first. Izi: What does "we don't attack people" mean? Do you think I'll fall for this? Skye: Let's go inside, I'll explain. Izi: Or you'll kill me! Skye: If we wanted to, you'd be killed by now. Izi decided that curiosity won. Skye: Where to start... Stefan: OMW, dad, make it short. And so Skye told how, after the defeat of the Original, vampires split into 2 fractions: human-friendly, started by the Vatore siblings; and t...
