5. TOUGH TIMES (1)

Klara managed to pass all her courses in the second semester. Following Zelda’s advice, she decided to slow things down and chose only two classes for the third semester. Her studies might take longer, but she’ll have more peace of mind and time to spare.



Extra time can come in handy—for instance, hitting the gym now and then. Klara’s frequent snacking on cinnamon rolls between classes has started to show, and knowing her insecurities, we don’t want to give her more reasons to feel more insecure!



Klara: So... how does this thing even work?

Trainer: Keep going, you’re doing great!

Klara: Oh, Watcher above, what did I do to deserve this?! I’m about to collapse again!



With more time, Klara also becomes more active in the Debaters’ Guild. After all, being an experienced member carries certain responsibilities.

After a meeting, Akito catches up with her.

Akito: Hey, can we talk?

Klara: Sure, what’s up?

Akito: That’s what I want to know, Klara. I thought something was happening between us, but lately, you seem totally indifferent. I have no idea what's going on.



Klara: Excuse me? I’m indifferent? You’re the one who’s constantly grumpy, angry, tense, or in some weird mood. It’s impossible to even get a friendly animation, let alone snap a cute picture!

Akito: And you’re always embarrassed! Even when you’re happy, it only takes a moment before you’re back to being that uncertain, awkward Sim.

Klara: That’s how I was created; it’s not my fault! I thought you were okay with that. Besides, you weren’t in the mood for flirting at the last party!

Akito: You’ve got to be kidding me! You told me you were drunk and going to bed!



Akito: Klara, just be honest with me. Is this going anywhere?

Klara: I... I don’t know. The first spark has faded, and... I think I need some space.



Klara: Oh Zelda, thank Watcher you’re here. I really need to talk to someone... Akito and I had a fight.

Zelda: Oh no, sweetie, tell me everything. Of course, I’ll listen!



Klara: And then he said I’m always embarrassed!

Zelda: NO!!!

Klara: Yes! And then he even said I got drunk at the party!

Zelda: What a plumbob!

Klara: But... in one thing, he was right. I really don’t know how I feel about him. At first, there was a spark, but then... I guess I was indifferent.

Zelda: Darling, there are plenty of Sims in the Simverse. Why stress over one? We’ll find you someone new. Now, no moping! Come here for a big hug.



The next morning, Klara went for a jog to clear her head. Out of nowhere, she got a text from... André from the Debate Showdown?!



André (Hottie): Hey! Glad you agreed to join.

Klara: Okay, spill it—how did you even get my number?

André: Let’s keep that my sweet little secret... Come on, let me show you around the gym.


Klara is relieved she’s been working out more lately—at least she won’t embarrass herself now. On the other hand, isn’t this a strange spot for a date? A meeting? What even is this? And who gave André her number? Zelda? Zoe?

Very mysterious... Maybe the next few days will shed light on what’s going on.

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...

16. THE CHRONICLES OF SIMNATION (3)

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...
