Like Father, Like Daughter

"Like Father, Like Daughter" is the first episode of The Game of Life in 5 months.
==Plot==
Well, that was a long nap. I wonder what I missed…
Oh… Good thing I updated all my mods now I just need to-
OH COME ON! OK, let’s go to a household just to quickly test-
SHUT UP! Let’s go to April’s university household, just to test some things-
I DON’T CARE!
OK so after going to April’s university household… The other 2 roommates start smoking and vaping immediately. April doesn’t, for some reason she has no addictions now… We’ve got to change that. She pops some adderall and some molly, coughs from a sore throat and then smokes a cigarette. Death is dying.
We’ll ignore that. April ingests some LSD, smokes a joint, does more LSD, meows like a cat and then one of the university roommates moves out. OK bye I don’t know who you were. It’s at this point I realize the game is glitched and I can’t click on any sims. I save the game, but that doesn’t fix it. I restart the game. After listening to the most painful sims music of all time for 20 seconds I find out that the problem is not fixed and someone is setting off fireworks for no reason.
Pretty. I find out what the problem is and close the game again. After that restart, the fireworks are set off again because I didn’t bother saving the game last time. The problem is solved, but April still has a sore throat and “shouldn’t try singing”.
While April practices her singing, I give her all of the drug addictions. Just for fun (don’t do drugs). After a few hours of singing, April decides she doesn’t like it. I’m pretty sure everything in the game works fine now, so I think we can leave this household be-
Ah. One of April’s roommates, Becca, is dying, this changes things a bit. After passing out because she’s not feeling well and could’ve gotten a disease, she gets back up, cleans the dishes and has a smoke break. Dying is pretty stressful to be fair. After getting checked up at the hospital, Becca comes back in tears while sad sims music plays. She is living “her last days” and is told to say goodbye to her loved ones. April continues having a conversation with someone else while Becca is crying in pain.
Becca then goes to have a surgery at the hospital, the surgery has a 20% chance of succeeding. The surgery succeeds and I get a weird error message that I don’t know the meaning of. Other people in the household celebrate the success with confetti, singing and horns. It’s not that exciting. OK, now we’re don-
WHY?!
OK he goes around murdering people and the woman who was dying a moment ago has another smoke. Eventually he breaks into the household somehow and April says hi to him after he murders someone right in front of her. After a very brief conversation, he takes his clothes off and walks outside in the rain. He then puts his clothes back on and leaves.
We’re done there. Let’s go to… The SBFW household I guess?
After making no significant changes to how Aidan and Aaron look, Aaron laughs at a deceased woman’s urn… Garfield is trying to get promoted at work (he is currently a social justice warrior in the politician career), but to do that he needs to successfully promote his cause. He does this by starting a protest outside the house. This protest fails and he becomes very sad as a result of it. “What’s the point of making a noise when no one else can hear it?” He becomes so sad that he cries in his bed. After crying, he gets up and calls Johnny Zest, which makes him feel better.
Garfield then starts another protest, this time inside his bedroom. Unsurprisingly, this doesn’t work, so he takes the protest outside. Aidan appears to consider joining the protest, but goes to bed instead. Aaron, however, is interested and joins the protest. Garfield takes this as an opportunity to promote his cause to Aaron. Aaron listens and is inspired to take action, meaning Garfield has successfully promoted his cause.
At 4 AM, Garfield uses some weird machine thingy to make a cupcake. He really needed a cupcake. A ghost also uses the bathtub because they really needed a bath apparently. Later that day, a technician shows up to connect the house to the internet. Yes, the house hasn’t had access to the internet for like 3 episodes. The technician walks in and sniffs the house because… I don’t know.
Once the household gets access to the internet, Aaron uses it to stream Incredible Sports (from what I can tell, it’s a sims version of FIFA) on Switch (a mod that’s the sims version of Twitch). After a while, he gets some viewers with one viewer in chat saying that Aaron is a “good content creator”. While Aaron is streaming, I get a notification saying that another Grim Reaper is dying. Aaron ends the stream with 650 followers in total and 1 subscriber. He also gets other streamers reaching out to him for a collab.
Aidan, Jonathan Dog and Aaron then head to a pool just for fun. It is raining. Aaron is also very sad because he “can’t believe how much support [he has] These are tears of joy!” I don’t know why that makes him sad. In other news, Garfield has been promoted to community organizer. He can now give “expert speeches” at podiums.
Nobody in the group enters the pool, they just stand outside in the rain talking. Eventually I get a notification saying there’s a llama fair happening somewhere else, so I send the group there instead. The first thing Aidan does at the fair is sit-ups on the ground. Somehow Aidan badly injures his arm while doing that.
Not much happens at the fair, Aaron talks to a llama and Aidan constantly complains that he’s in pain because of his arm injury. Also, the household forgot to feed Jonathan Dog before leaving so I sent him home on his own.
I don’t know how he knows the route home from here, I don’t even know where this fair is.
Aidan and Aaron head home as well so Jonathan can be fed. Aaron invites two famous streamers to the house so they can collaborate on a stream. However the streamers end up walking around the house doing very little, while Aaron goes to sleep. When Aaron does get up, he streams in his bedroom without any of the other streamers.
Despite being injured earlier, Aidan does more exercises for some reason. I don’t know if this is related but I also got a notification saying that he needs to visit the doctor. Aidan visits a “sports medicine clinic” where he is told that his injury is “more serious than he thought” HE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT IT FOR HOURS! Anyway, he needs surgery and has to go to the hospital to have the procedure done.
Aidan comes back from the hospital still in pain apparently. I don’t think they did anything in the end. Meanwhile, Garfield tries to promote his political cause to the streamers and some ghosts. He doesn’t seem successful in promoting the cause but he does end up in a lengthy conversation with one of the ghosts.
At the Kong household, SpongeBob has stopped smoking weed (I never intended for him to be addicted to weed) and quit drinking (OK that was my idea). Hopefully he doesn’t fall off the wagon.
Oops.
Somehow SpongeBob has both the “alcoholic” buff and the “quit drinking” buff which is realistic I think. He’s also tripping on acid, this is a regular occurrence for SpongeBob. Not once did I make SpongeBob take acid, he does it on his own. I don’t know why this happens. For some reason, April asks SpongeBob to visit her at her university household (she messaged Funky Kong earlier too, I think she’s lonely).
SpongeBob heads over to the university household and… He’s still tripping. He doesn’t do much at the university household, mostly just walks around talking to people. He suddenly thinks that watching electronics feels fake, boring and annoying. Interacting with the world in all its realistic glory feels much more enjoyable. The world is suddenly at one with SpongeBob, and everything flows gently. OK… SpongeBob stays at the university household for a very long time and eventually I realize the event actually glitched and he should’ve gone home hours ago.
SpongeBob goes back home and again he’s still tripping, how did he even get to April’s place in the first place? Maybe I’m thinking about this too much, anyway, April sends SpongeBob a message asking if she can celebrate the day with him for a little while. Didn’t he just see you? SpongeBob ignores the message and…
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!
So April walks into the house and says that SpongeBob is her best friend. APRIL IS SPONGEBOB’S DAUGHTER! It’s also worth noting that April said this while Graggle and Hallie were crying at urns for some reason.
While all this is going on, Funky has decided to do more science… things. He is using this… giant microscope thingy outside. I don’t know, I’m just doing this to get his logic skill up so we can meet some aliens. Funky ends up being forced back inside due to a thunderstorm and notices that SpongeBob is drinking again. Funky walks up to him and says “I really care about you and it is pretty obvious that you need some help. You really need to quit using that stuff.” (is this even referring to alcohol?) SpongeBob lies and says “Me? Drugs?! What are you on about?!! I am a stand up model citizen, and I would never do anything like that! I am so mad at you for even thinking that.” He then becomes tense because “lying about your substance intake to people you care about does not make for a good mood.” The lie didn’t even work, Funky knows he’s lying.
Mr. Krabs’ ghost shows up and SpongeBob decides to greet him by fighting him, the two don’t like each other very much. SpongeBob’s youngest daughter Hallie walks in on the fight and seems to be shocked. Hallie is an evil sim and evil sims are supposed to enjoy negativity like this. After the fight ends, Mr. Krabs insults SpongeBob and SpongeBob seems surprised for some reason. Mr. Krabs sits down to watch some TV and SpongeBob tries to throw a drink at him, but he fails. SpongeBob then appears to throw up for some reason, not sure what happened there.
SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs quickly end up in another fight. And another after that. SpongeBob then gets bored and goes to sleep. Mr. Krabs also goes up stairs and starts venting to the bear (remember when people used to fight the teddy bear upstairs?), then he possesses a toilet and breaks it.
The next day…
WHY?!
OK so I cancel that and-
Ugh, fine…
So April comes to stay JUST FOR A FEW DAYS and then she’ll be back at her university household, I hope. April arrives at the house with some luggage that appears to be full of clothes, even though she has been wearing the exact same clothes all of the time since moving into her university household.
The household still has a maid (I think we’re on our fifth maid at this point, they keep dying like it’s the Murdaugh household). The shower had a problem earlier and there’s a puddle on the floor. What does the maid do? Use a vacuum cleaner to clean it up, obviously.
I did some research on this.
> Never vacuum up water or any other type of liquid with your vacuum cleaner. Mixing water with electricity is a recipe for disaster. At best, you would need vacuum cleaner repair; at worst, you could electrocute yourself.
We’ll just leave him there…
Hallie returns home with a school project. I don’t know what the project is, but she starts crying before getting into the house. Hallie also has a flu that nobody has bothered to deal with and SpongeBob sneezes mid-conversation so he probably has it too now.
WHO ARE YOU?!
Apparently this is “Master Crafter” Tina Tinker. I can’t find out much about her and I don’t know why she turned up to the house. She’s in the house for like 2 minutes, says “you know, now that I’m pretty much done with what I wanted to do here, do you mind if I hang out for a bit? How has your day been?” and now she’s speaking to Funky Kong… Wait, what did you do?
SpongeBob is trolling teh forums upstairs when April walks in and-
SpongeBob says yes because she clearly isn’t gonna shut up about this. Oh God, April still has all those drug addictions from earlier. Mr. Krabs says he “just got a really good text” and has to leave. I already forgot what he did when he was here.
April hugs SpongeBob and I get an achievement that says “My, you’ve changed!”
> Have a Sim become both max thin and fat within a lifetime.
I didn’t even notice this earlier, what the hell? Did she not eat once when I wasn’t controlling her? Anyway, April goes on a drug binge. You know how it is, she complains that she’s not on amphetamine, complains that she needs nicotine, complains that she’s not on ketamine (that’s a new one), complains that she needs nicotine AGAIN, drinks lean, snorts more ketamine and amphetamine. You get the idea, this goes on for awhile.
SpongeBob becomes sad because he has a “horrible feeling something isn’t quite right with his child”. You don’t say. He asks April if she’s on “something” but April tells a lie and says “Me? Drugs?! What are you on about?!! I am a stand up model citizen, and I would never do anything like that! I am so mad at you for even thinking that.” That’s interesting. She passes out in front of SpongeBob shortly after this.
Not long later, April starts drinking multiple alcoholic drinks at once. Hmm…
(In the last episode)
> After having a drink, SpongeBob is already drunk. At 10 AM. He then smokes some weed. After smoking he makes his own drink. And another. And another. He starts drinking 2 at the same time again.
Suddenly April’s behavior makes a little more sense. She also has a buff that implies she had woohoo at some point… When did this happen??? I’ve been following her for hours, nothing sexual happened.
In other news, Hallie goes to school and when she grabs her lunch from her backpack, she notices something red inside. It's a note, shaped like a heart, with the words "U R CUTE!" written on it and nothing else. She thinks it might be the new boy, who always seems to stare. She confronts the new kid. The new boy is alone, since he doesn't have many friends yet. But when Hallie presents the note, the new boy misunderstands. "Umm...I don't even know you." Worse, the class gossip comes around the corner and spies them together. However bad this feels now, it'll be much worse soon...
While I’m checking Graggle I get a notification saying “we found an unsent love letter from Hallie to her teacher in her desk today. Nothing racy, but we thought you should know.” The only option is “she’s in big trouble!” Nothing else is there, I can’t click out of it and it’s Graggle who is making this decision even though he’s not her parent.
Well there’s not much else I can do for this episode, looks like we’re ending on a somewhat normal note.
Ah. I don’t know what happened here, there’s a fire, SpongeBob puts it out, loads of people are running around the house (one hasn’t got a shirt on) and the fire alarm is loudly blaring. After SpongeBob puts the fire out, someone from the fire department says “the fire has been put out. Just try to be a little more careful next time.” You didn’t even do anything. All the strangers who were in the house run off in some direction, the household gets $1,950 as an insurance payment, even though I’m pretty sure the items that were destroyed cost over $4000 in total. The guy without a shirt goes up to the bar and one woman appears to run downstairs, and runs off to the backyard. Completely naked.
I think the episode is over.
Next time on The Game of Life...
