Hello and welcome back to the Easter Egg challenge with Tara Cobb! The last time we were with Tara, she had a really successful week of finding Eater Eggs. The boys opened a lemonade stand and achieved A’s in school. The family traveled a bit and saw the sea monster, Tara won a few gaming tournaments, and at the end of the week, Tara used the weather machine to bring us back to spring. Let’s dig in!
Week 9
When we first get back with Tara, she is busy playing a Sims Forever tournament, and she wins! That’s a third game out of the way! Congrats, Tara!
Thimble is doing his part to help with the postcard, and I had to laugh at his little “away” sign when he was off getting a new one for us.
Cobb’s Cold Drinks is once again open with many drinks available now. I think in other saves where I get to have a season other than spring, it will be fun to do something like hot cocoa for this. It was a good sale!
Tara is ready to tackle the next game, and this time she is playing My Sims Go, which seems to be a play of Pokémon Go as well as the My Sims games.
These boys are pranksters, and I was a bit worried Cad wouldn’t be thrilled with Robin’s air horn, but turns out they are good. They have tried to get a strained status before, and I vetoed that one. Cad has had it hard enough!
Since Tara had finished her career, much to her dismay, I had her quit being an eSports Gamer. She wasn’t happy, but I needed her to do something else.
Tara joined the science career, and I followed her to work. While there, she decided to search for some more crystals and metals since we will need those.
Tara met this Sim, whose name I do not remember, but he was Artsy. Tara decided that she liked that.
Tara did get a bunch of work done for the day. Science may not be her passion or anything, but we really just need her to invent things.
The postcard collection is nearly complete. Between Tara’s penpals and Thimble, we have a good collection already. This will be great to have completed. I think there are 3 more.
When she isn’t working, Tara is still hard at work on gaming. She continues to try to learn My Sims Go so she can compete in a tournament soon.
She still also paints sometimes, but so far, no new easter egg paintings. I don’t know why this one just is so difficult for Tara!
Tara is finally able to enter and win a tournament for My Sims Go and that is another game off her list. Next up, she will work on Incredible Sports.
However, it is a new special day for the family and Tara gets busy mixing up something special.
Daddy Don is the first sim to arrive, and Robin greets him with a big hug. Don really is such a good dad, even though he doesn’t live here. He’s always over.
If you hadn’t figured it out yet, it’s Robin and Cad’s birthdays today. Robin blows out his candles first, as usual, and then it’s Cad’s turn. There was a lot of celebration even if it wasn’t obvious at first.
Robin, pre-makeover, decides almost immediately that he likes fitness. I mean, sure, you can like fitness that works.
The three get dressed up in Star Wars costumes for the occasion. Tara is an X-wing pilot, Robin is Darth Vader, and Cad is a Mandalorian. This finally checks off the Outfits Easter Egg for 10 points.
For some reason, Don and his entire household call to stay over. Initially, I thought Don was alone, but suddenly, we had a bunch of houseguests.
Cad here achieved both Physically Gifted and Headstrong as a child. As a teen, he is now Romantically Reserved, but rolled for the Bodybuilder aspiration, which works great for me since he is also active.
He is also very good with Thimble and has never gotten bitten. I think maybe Cad has been saving up all his “love” for pets and not Sims.
Tara has work the next day and works on some inventions with the inventory, then she needs to tinker with the computer, which is an easy task for her.
By the end of the day, Tara gets a promotion and is already at level 4 of the career, which is as far as we are required to get!
With work done, Tara is back at her gaming, and now we are officially working on Incredible Sports. I don’t think this one should give us too much trouble.
Don is over again and chatting with his boys. Robin ended up getting the Mentally Gifted trait and rolled the Kleptomaniac trait, just like his mom. His aspiration ended up being Friend of the Animals, so he has a special connection with Thimble.
Now that the boys are teens, it felt right to update Cobb’s Cold Drinks to include some food options. We bought a popcorn popper and a candy maker. The fun thing is, as was pointed out to me, this is an easter egg item about the Katy Perry Sweet Treats pack for Sims 3.
Tara manages to gain Skillful Sleep, like so many sims in this family have had. I went ahead and said yes, though.
Tara is determined to be ready for the tournament for Incredible Sports and plays late into the night. Luckily, she has her bed upgraded, so she doesn’t need much sleep.
The boys open their stand again, this time adding popcorn to the mix, and keeping the Citris Swig that is so popular on the menu. It’s not a great sale, but it was a test run of adding these other treats.
Tara does eventually go to bed, and her astral projection self decides to work on some logic, which is not an issue for me at all.
Unfortunately, our house guests start a fire and burn up the stove and the fridge before Tara can put it out. It was a rather exciting few minutes, and luckily, they have the money to replace the items.
The boys decide to rename their stand Cobb Treats, although they aren’t sure if this is the name they will go with permanently. They have added candy now, and while the sale isn’t great, they were playing around with pricing.
Inside, Tara is busy winning the Incredible Sports tournament! Another game down, and Tara will start on SimScuffle next. That means she has 3 computer games left to win! With that, the week draws to a close!
Tara had another good week, although not as many points gained as before. She is just speeding through these game tournaments, which I was not expecting to be possible. We only added 10 points this time, for the outfits, but that moves us up to 310 points. Thank you so much for reading! I hope you will join us for the next update soon!
