Welcome to a mini-chapter for The Deepwater ISBI. I was unsure of whether or not Strangerville Mystery playthrough would still be considered spoilers or not, so I decided to just make it a mini-chapter. So, if you haven't played through the mystery, I recommend not reading beyond the heir announcement and first three slides. I will put a reminder just in case you forget ;) For a while, Mariana and Manta were tied, but in the end Mariana took the lead. I'll admit I was a little disappointed, but I'm excited to see where Mariana takes the legacy. Since Mariana is already a YA it's time for Coral to pass the torch immediately.
Their selfie is placed on top of the TV with the rest. Though, I think I need to find a new place for them now since we're running out of room.
Pelagic says goodbye to his Mom and his twin and moves off to spare paradise.
Strangerville Mystery is starting now. Please close if you do not want to see spoilers from the Strangerville Mystery.After stocking up on moodlet solvers (I bought a bunch on Coral when she was still the torchholder) Mariana heads to the library in Strangerville and starts asking questions.
She even meets a really handsome conspiracy theorist named Zachery that we will definitely be keeping in mind as a future spouse.
Part of the first tier of her aspiration was to buy some things at the curio shop. So we bought one of everything, because why not?
Then we head to the secret lab and inspect the door to the true secret lab.
I didn't get a picture of it, because I originally was just going to put minimal pictures in a regular chapter but Mariana has got the keycard for the door.
Mariana has been making good progress on her aspiration, and the story, and is on her third moodlet solver. She finally is able to get one of the scanners, which took a while because all the NPCs kept leaving the lot randomly.
After a few hours she gets enough spores to create a profile of the disease.
At this point she heads home for the first time in three days to check the mail so she can receive the spore filter for her hazmat suit.
She goes back to the lab and assembles her hazmat suit and puts it on.
Now that she has her hazmat suit on, she's able to investigate the door further in and use her keycard.
Then, she stumbles upon the very last door and is able to get it open.
She's so shocked by what she sees that she compromises her hazmat suit by shoving her hands through it to gasp.
Next, Mariana must collect more spores and fruit to create experimental vaccines.
After creating three experimental vaccines, she heads in to town to test them on possessed sims. Her experimental vaccines lead to her finding the true vaccine, so she's able to go back to the lab and craft them.
Pro-tip for those of you on this stage: scan for spores, collect the five that appear, make the vaccine. Then you'll be able to scan for more spores.
Now that she has all the vaccines she needs, she goes and vaccines some of the possessed sims.
I ended up creating a club and inviting the sims she cured to it so that they could hang out at the bar and get to know each other and become friends so she could recruit them to help her fight the mother plant.
I always forget how massive the MOTHER plant actually is.
The trio was successful (I say trio, because one of the guys just decided to leave) and the MOTHER plant is no more!
Mariana has also completed her aspiration, so +10 as well as the +20 for each milestone. Next, I gave her Eco Innovator because I was interested in trying this aspiration out. We head home to share the news with Mariana's family and I find Manta like this, and embarrassed. It says she wet herself. Which she either did as soon as I loaded the lot, or they're able to do this when I'm on a community lot, which I didn't think was the case. Either way, -5
We also find that poor Tsunami is sick so we give her a quick wellness treat.
Mariana then shares her first kiss with Zachery, the conspiracy theorist. That's where we'll leave this chapter! I will have another chapter out as soon as possible! Feel free to check in with me over at BoolProp or on my Twitch Stream in the meantime, I'd love to chat! Score |
