A short time later Topaz and Buttercup headed to bed.
I thought that the yellow gen would be best suited for Strangerville since she's obsessed with space and it's based off of Area 51. I like the Strangerville pack and the storyline is fun to do every once in a while, even if you've already played it. I love the build/buy items because they well awesome! I agree Topaz and Luca are a very cute couple!
Thanks for stopping by. Let me know if you start a new story. I would be interested in reading it.
Topaz was brushing her teeth when vines started sprouting out of her bathroom sink. She cleaned them up as best she could.
Then when Topaz was having a shower, vines started sprouting out of her shower drain.
As she was cleaning the bathtub, Topaz vowed to find a vaccine and take down The Mother Plant!
Topaz headed to the Secret Lab already dressed in her Hazmat Suit.
Topaz made up a few different vaccines using the chemical analyzer and duplicated them with the spell copypasto.
Topaz didn't want to test her vaccines on strangers so she decided eat a bizarre fruit in hopes of becoming infected.
After eating the bizarre fruit, Topaz doubled over in pain.
She is now infected.
Topaz drank the first Vaccine and only felt a small change.
Topaz drank the second vaccine and it worked!
Topaz is now confident she can beat The Mother Plant. She made 20 or so copies of the working vaccine using the copypasto spell. The question is who will she recruit to help her?
Topaz called her cousin Brennen, her brother Elliot and her boyfriend Luca over.
Topaz vaccinated all three boys and asked them to help her fight The Mother Plant. Everyone agreed and Topaz handed out Hazmat Suits to each of them.
Topaz led them through the lab to the door that leads them to The Mother Plant. "Ready everyone?" asked Topaz. "Ready!" replied the group of boys in unison. "Let's go kick some Mother Plant roots!" yelled Topaz as the doors opened. Everyone ran into the room, sprayers and vaccines in hand.
It took a team effort of spraying and throwing vaccines at the Mother Plant.
The Mother Plant let out a loud yowl and Topaz was able to throw in a vaccine.
The Mother Plant swallowed the vaccine and started spewing green gases then collapsed.
Hooray! The Mother Plant has been beaten. Everyone celebrated and cheered!
Topaz felt bad for The Mother Plant and took a few minutes to feed her a bizarre fruit and nursed her back to health.

Topaz had rented a massage table for Summer Spa Day. Luca gave Topaz a deep tissue massage.
Topaz felt very relaxed afterwards.
Topaz gave Luca a Sports Massage. Luca had a few sore spots that really needed work.
After his massage all Luca could think about was how to convince Topaz they needed a massage table for the house.
Next up was nice relaxing soak in the bath. Topaz added a milk and honey mixture to help soften her skin and Luca took a muscle relaxing soak to help ease his aching muscles.
Topaz and Luca then headed out to the yoga deck and meditated. They both reached maximum nervana and levitated.
For the last holiday tradition Topaz and Luca did some yoga.
Luca asked Topaz if she wanted to get dinner at The Health Food Hut in Glimmerbrook. Topaz agreed.
Topaz had Luca in stitches with her jokes and immpersonations.
Luca told Topaz that she looks good in EVERYTHING!
Then he blew her a kiss.
Both sims enjoyed their meal and chatted excitedly about their upcoming wedding.
Luca loaded the laundry into the dryer.
While Topaz gave Buttercup a bath.
Buttercup loves to soak Topaz from head to toe after he bath by shaking all the water off her fur while standing next to her.
Luca went checked on some last minute wedding items.
@TeeSea Some good updates. It seems like some of your mods are kind of rough on your sims, like the one that adds anxiety (although I do think the vanilla game is a little lacking when it come to the emotions system). I'm hoping Garnet is still around to see the grandkid(s), but Topaz and Luca seem to be taking their time. Thanks for sharing.
@jbadger12
I don't think my mods are too hard on my Sims, maybe a little realistic. I was surprised both developed it on the same day at the same time but not really surprised since they are both constantly tense from their new jobs, meeting the in-laws, and the whole wedding. Usually it wouldn't be a problem for my sims cause I use the carefree reward trait but have banned it plus seldom sleepy, never weary, hardly hungry, forever full, forever fresh, independent, needs no one and steel bladder. I want to experience the whole gamut of emotions and effects of their traits since that is what the Not So Berry Challenge is all about.
I wouldn't worry about Garnet or Trenton missing out on meeting their grandkids because they both finished the Bodybuilder Aspiration and will have long lives.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!
Topaz woke up and got ready for the day. She headed downstairs to make some wedding cakes.
After finishing one she started on the second.
Meanwhile Luca had woken up and took Buttercup for a walk.
Last cake is out of the oven and needs to be iced.
Topaz was pretty impressed with herself.
She had some breakfast while waiting for Luca and Buttercup to return home.
Luca and Topaz decided on a cake then they sold the practice cakes to a local bakery.
Luca had some breakfast.
Topaz gave some cuddles to Buttercup.
Luca helped Topaz prepare desert for their Rehearsal Tea Time.
Everyone enjoyed cake and tea.
Then Trenton went over everyone's role in the wedding and where they need to be and what they need to do.
Before everyone left Garnet gave a toast: "My Darling Daughter Topaz. You have grown up to be a caring and loving individual. You worked hard and became an astronaut just like you always wanted. Now you are about to embark on a journey with your true love, Luca. I could not be more proud of you and am happy to welcome Luca to the family"
Topaz and Luca said goodbye to everyone and cleaned up after the party.
Topaz did some recycling.
Then she joined Luca in the living room. "We haven't discussed our honeymoon." said Topaz.
"Do you have any where in mind you would like to spend it?" asked Topaz?
Luca replied "I thought we might spend some time up on Planet Sixam then spend the rest of it at home." Topaz got excited and said "I had the same exact thoughts! Well that was easy."
Topaz and Luca then headed upstairs to workout on the treadmills. Topaz tripped and hit her head as usual.
Luca and Topaz were talking as they started their cooldown when they received notice of some family deaths.
Topaz's Aunt Ivy and her husband Alfonso both passed away.
Topaz jumped off the treadmill and told Luca she was going to see her mom and would be back later as she rushed out the door.
As Topaz entered National Hill House it felt like it had been ages since she was last here.
Topaz found her Mom crying in her childhood bedroom. She wrapped her arms around her mom and held her till the tears stopped. Garnet thanked her daughter for coming to see her and told her she wasn't ready to talk. Topaz understood and gave her mom one more hug.
Before leaving Topaz stopped to say hi to Rayz her childhood hamster. He seems to be being well taken care of.
Topaz's cousin Harley called and asked her to meet him at the Realm of Magic. Topaz texted Luca letting him know she was meeting with Harley. Once she arrived at the Realm of Magic she could tell Harley was deeply upset over his mother's death. Topaz approached him and said "Are you okay Harley? I'm so sorry about your mom. Is there anything I can do to help?" Harley said just 3 words "No, Thanks and Duel" As they started dueling Harley shouted "Don't hold back!" Topaz didn't hold back and she beat Harley at the duel. Harley got up and dusted himself off then hugged his cousin and said "Thank you, I needed to relieve some emotions and your the only spellcaster I know who could take my blows." Topaz hugged her cousin and replied "Anytime."
After returning home, Topaz headed to bed.
Topaz woke up and had some breakfast. Then she was greeting by the uber cuteness of Buttercup.
Topaz got ready for work.
Did some chores.
And kissed Luca goodbye before heading into work.
Luca had some breakfast.
Took Buttercup for a walk.
Started up a load of laundry.
And played video games till he left for work.
Buttercup napped in the living room most of the day.
Both Topaz and Luca were promoted.
Luca and Topaz sat down to eat dinner and Topaz asked "Do you want kids Luca?"
"As long as I have them with you." replied Luca.
Topaz laughed and said "You never cease to amaze me with your corniness." Luca laughed and replied "And your smile never ceases to make me smile."
Topaz and Luca practiced knitting for a few hours.
Topaz loaded the laundry into the dryer.
And everyone headed to bed.
Topaz woke up and took Buttercup for a jog.
Luca had some fresh tomato juice for breakfast.
Then he put the clean clothes away.

Then headed off to work.
Topaz headed to the Tartosa to pick up a wedding bouquet.
She also picked up her wedding dress.
Topaz couldn't decide on bridal bouquet so she choose to just have one on the bride/groom table at the wedding.
Buttercup was a ball of energy all afternoon.
Topaz did some meditating.
Finished up some last minute paperwork.
Then she and Buttercup went for a swim.
Topaz spent the rest of the afternoon lounging in the kiddy pool trying to stay cool.
Luca returned home from work and he and Topaz had some dinner while Luca chatted about his day.
After dinner both Topaz and Luca headed to their therapy appointments.
Before heading to bed Topaz and Luca took a moment to update their journals.
Sweet Dreams!
Topaz and Luca woke up excited to be getting married. They both went over their vows.
Then they had breakfast in silence as each was imagining what the day will bring.
After breakfast it was time for a meditation session.
Luca took Buttercup for a quick jog.
Then he joined Topaz who was watching the Planet Sixam channel.
Rounding up both families was proving difficult for Topaz and Luca.
Topaz finally just started sending people down the isle. First was Luca's sister Alexia as the Flower Pal.
Next was Luca's brother Stephen as the ring bearer.
Topaz's brother Eliot walked down the aisle next as Luca's Person of Honor.
Then Garnet walked down as Topaz's Person of Honor.
The wedding march started and Topaz and Luca headed down the aisle.
Luca and Topaz exchanged vows.
Then wedding rings. Trenton had a hard time keeping emotions in check while performing his duties as Officiate.
Luca grabbed hold of Topaz and gave her dip kiss when her father said "You may kiss the bride."
Welcome the newly married Mr. & Mrs. Luca and Topaz Berry!
Everyone had some food and mingled after the ceremony.
Luca complimented Topaz on the final wedding cake.
They cut the cake and fed each other a bite.
The cake was delicious and even Topaz had to give herself props.
Topaz started the toasts.
Followed by Luca.
Topaz and Luca ducked into the bathrooms for a wardrobe change then hit the dance floor for their first dance.
Despite the inability to get anyone to sit still during the ceremony and toasts, Topaz and Luca are on cloud nine.
Trenton is having a really hard time letting his daughter go.
Luca spun Topaz out like they planned.
Then they surprised everyone when Topaz spun Luca back into her arms and dipped him to end their dance.
As the sun started to set everyone partied like it was 1999!
Luca and Topaz returned home and sat down in the livingroom.
They cuddled on the couch.
Then Luca kissed Topaz's forehead.
Luca then kissed her on lips.
Finally he blew her a kiss and said "Let's get this honeymoon started!"
Topaz, Luca and Buttercup all headed downstairs and into the Wormhole Generator.
@jbadger12
Unfortunately the wedding gameplay wise was a disaster. It's even more broken than before. The biggest problem I was having was that guests couldn't rout to their seating. I would choose please take your seats and all the guests would wave their hands like they do when there's a routing issue. Same with the toasts and cake cutting. At least I was able to get some decent screenshots and spin the story to fit. Thanks for stopping by!

Topaz was working in her garden when the SIB (Sims In Black) came and investigated her home. She didn't even know they were there.
Topaz headed into the kitchen and saw a note on the floor from the SIB. The note mentioned something about a secret lab.

Topaz woke up and tended her garden.
Topaz headed to the Secret Lab and used her keycard to open the door. A bunch of spores came floating out of the enclosed space.
As Topaz left the lab she noticed that the skies in Strangerville had changed.

Topaz did 100 push-ups and the Military Officer was impressed and handed over her scanner despite her better judgement.
Topaz headed back to lab and collected a few handfuls of spores.
Then she headed to the library and spoke to a scientist about the spores and how she can safely get access to the lower section of the lab. He advised her to use the Chemical Analyzer in the secret lab to make an Infection Profile Data.
Topaz went straight to work and got the infection profile data.
Then she returned to the scientist and gave him the profile data. He said Topaz should receive a spore filter in the mail soon.

Topaz was brushing her teeth when vines started sprouting out of her bathroom sink. She cleaned them up as best she could.
Then when Topaz was having a shower, vines started sprouting out of her shower drain.
As she was cleaning the bathtub, Topaz vowed to find a vaccine and take down The Mother Plant!
Topaz headed to the Secret Lab already dressed in her Hazmat Suit.
Topaz made up a few different vaccines using the chemical analyzer and duplicated them with the spell copypasto.
Topaz didn't want to test her vaccines on strangers so she decided eat a bizarre fruit in hopes of becoming infected.
After eating the bizarre fruit, Topaz doubled over in pain.
She is now infected.
Topaz drank the first Vaccine and only felt a small change.
Topaz drank the second vaccine and it worked!
Topaz is now confident she can beat The Mother Plant. She made 20 or so copies of the working vaccine using the copypasto spell. The question is who will she recruit to help her?
Topaz called her cousin Brennen, her brother Elliot and her boyfriend Luca over.
Topaz vaccinated all three boys and asked them to help her fight The Mother Plant. Everyone agreed and Topaz handed out Hazmat Suits to each of them.
Topaz led them through the lab to the door that leads them to The Mother Plant. "Ready everyone?" asked Topaz. "Ready!" replied the group of boys in unison. "Let's go kick some Mother Plant roots!" yelled Topaz as the doors opened. Everyone ran into the room, sprayers and vaccines in hand.
It took a team effort of spraying and throwing vaccines at the Mother Plant.
The Mother Plant let out a loud yowl and Topaz was able to throw in a vaccine.
The Mother Plant swallowed the vaccine and started spewing green gases then collapsed.
Hooray! The Mother Plant has been beaten. Everyone celebrated and cheered!
Topaz felt bad for The Mother Plant and took a few minutes to feed her a bizarre fruit and nursed her back to health.

I don't think my mods are too hard on my Sims, maybe a little realistic. I was surprised both developed it on the same day at the same time but not really surprised since they are both constantly tense from their new jobs, meeting the in-laws, and the whole wedding. Usually it wouldn't be a problem for my sims cause I use the carefree reward trait but have banned it plus seldom sleepy, never weary, hardly hungry, forever full, forever fresh, independent, needs no one and steel bladder. I want to experience the whole gamut of emotions and effects of their traits since that is what the Not So Berry Challenge is all about.
I wouldn't worry about Garnet or Trenton missing out on meeting their grandkids because they both finished the Bodybuilder Aspiration and will have long lives.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Unfortunately the wedding gameplay wise was a disaster. It's even more broken than before. The biggest problem I was having was that guests couldn't rout to their seating. I would choose please take your seats and all the guests would wave their hands like they do when there's a routing issue. Same with the toasts and cake cutting. At least I was able to get some decent screenshots and spin the story to fit. Thanks for stopping by!
