I’m Surrounded By Idiots Chapter 04

As soon as Serena got the torch, she bought herself a pottery table. It really helped her mood to play on it. Charles was really impressed by how fast she was learning. Charles was 62 years old when he passed her the torch.

Charles has a talk with Serena now that she is an adult she has much more responsibilities. He tries to give her good advices.

Serena is now the one helping Karma with her homework every night or mornings.

Serena finds a job in the Art career.

Karma is still very popular and making friends so easily.

Sometimes she goes outside at night, looking through the telescope and wonders where she is from.

Serena calls the matchmaker to help her find her perfect match.

She just glanced at the man that the matchmaker suggested and told him goodbye.

She asks for another one. She pays another 5 thousand dollars.

She’s now feeling discouraged as she sees her second choice. She also tells him goodbye right away.

She invites Jess King over, but there is still no attractions between the two of them.

Maybe it’s his green shirt, but she just doesn’t like him.

She then tries to get to know Nathan, but again she has no attraction towards him at all.

Then she meets Oliver, she isn’t feeling any attractions yet, but she is now feeling very desperate. She isn’t getting any younger!

snapshot_57273e14_172aeeb6

She introduces Oliver to her father. Charles isn’t sure what to make of him yet.

Her mother seems to like him right away.

Charles and Serena shared the same car to go to work that day. Whenever they come home from work they always do this gesture/dance thing.

Karma is hitting puberty and starts to be more conscious about her looks and boys.

snapshot_57273e14_f72b1e5a

She has a lot of friends but her favourite one is Whyatt Shin.

snapshot_57273e14_f72aeab0

She wonders if one day a boy could actually like her for more than just friends. She is fully aware that she doesn’t look like the other girls. Some people are afraid and freaked out about her looks, but some are intrigued and curious.

Serena spends a lot of time talking on the phone with Oliver. She asked him out on a date two times so far and he refused both times.

snapshot_57273e14_b72b217d

Finally on the third try he agrees to go on a date with her and she has her first kiss.

snapshot_57273e14_d72b0048

It took a long time for them, but they finally have a crush on each other.

snapshot_57273e14_d72affad

After their date, instead of leaving her some flowers, he left her a lamp. Serena isn’t sure what it means. Is it an insult or does it show he cares?

snapshot_57273e14_772b237d

Things are going great at Serena’s job. She’s now a Wedding Photographer.

snapshot_57273e14_572b2472

While Karma is doing very well in school and still making friends, she isn’t really happy because she keeps taking her frustrations out on the trashcan by kicking it.

snapshot_57273e14_f72b253d

Serena invites Oliver over again. This time she wears a cute little yellow dress and decides to wear a bit of blush. She’s hoping he will like her more.

snapshot_57273e14_b72b288e

They spend some time cuddling on the couch. Karma’s friend comes to interrupt.

snapshot_57273e14_172b2975

Later when they are alone things get a bit heated.

snapshot_57273e14_b72b299b

She finally decides to be bold and asks him to marry her. He was really happy and said yes.

snapshot_57273e14_372b28e3

Things are now going so great for her. On the day of her wedding she got a promotion at work. She then hurried to prepare the wedding party. She wanted everyone to be there and wanted to time it for when her mother got home from work at 7pm.

snapshot_57273e14_172b2f0d

But just as her mother arrived from work, death came to get her. Serena was devastated. She was just minutes away from getting married. She was younger than Charles, yet death came for her.

snapshot_57273e14_572b316d

Serena wanted to cancel the wedding but her father didn’t let her. He didn’t even cry when Sarah passed away. He must be in shock.

snapshot_57273e14_f72b3239

It was sad to see an empty space besides her father, where her mother should have been.

snapshot_57273e14_172b329c 

Serena was very concerned for her father, but he assured her that he was ok and not to worry so much.

snapshot_57273e14_172b32f4

Serena influenced Karma to flirt with Whyatt. She was very shy and scared to do it, but she finally did it and he responded well.

snapshot_57273e14_972b333c

Poor Charles was too tired to show any emotions for his wife’s passing and his daughter’s wedding.

  1. This was cute and sad. I cracked up when Serena dismissed the first few guys the matchmaker set her up with.

    BTW, if you're fed up with the matchmaker's lack of skill, you can get the Findyourmate Crystal Ball at Simbology (best yet, the sim only has to spend $1000, and can decide the age group and sim type, they prefer).

  2. Yay, I found the Findyourmate Crystal Ball like you said. I didn't know that existed, thanks for the tip. That will come really, really, handy. I have recently downloaded some face templates to replace the ugly ones that comes with Maxis, and I generated new Townies. Oliver is a product of that newly generated better looking Townies.
