Vee is for Vortex – Chapter 5

Okay, okay, I admit it, I’m going to play Sandra Muffin again in this chapter. I just couldn’t switch households before completing her first aspiration milestone. That and she’s really too awesome to let go of!


Her day started off with some cooking pratice. She’s really getting better and has a bunch of new recipes. Today she made fish tacos. Nice breakfast choice, Sandra!

I just love her crazy faces. Looks tasty!


I am in love with this outfit

Because she is a slob she never cleans up the dirty dishes herself so I made her do it (sorry, Sandra), but she looked so happy while doing it. I think the tasty tacos outweighed the discomfort of having to tidy up the place.

I let her have another go at the mic. It went a lot better this time, but she still hit herself in the head with the mic (lol) when she didn’t know what to say. She also repeated herself often. I heared that, Sandra!


Is it my fault that the private investigator’s fake beard was too obvious?

I wanted to invite over Don to finally befriend him but he was busy once again. Bummer. So instead I sent Sandra outside to meet some cool sims. The neighbourhood was booming with them!

First, she met this cool gal called Natalie Cross (original name “Nadine Kreutz”). She really rocks that hat! I love her style. I also noticed she was playful. Gasp! Maybe she’s a fellow goofball? Okay, she’s not a goofball, but Sandra found out she is childish and also good. I think they will get along very well!

Then this guy intruded into the conversation with some trash talk (errrr….). His name is Jonah Stevens and he is related to Laura Stevens, the doctor, but I don’t know in what way. Husband, maybe? The two women ignored him at first but later they warmed up to him.

Apparently Jonah Stevens is not fond of nice food because he did not get along with Natalie Cross at all, although Sandra found out that he is cheerful! But he and Natalie only yelled at each other. The conversation took an unpleasant turn and they both left. How sad!

Sandra saw her friend Nancy Landgraab on the street and came over to say hi. She encouraged Nancy to pursue her wish to be a writer and they also talked about marriage. I like to believe that Sandra gave Nancy some good advice (you’ll see later).

Sandra also said hi to Johnny Zest as he came by. Uh-oh what is Nancy going to do? As far as we know, Johnny was a member of the Landgraab family and was disowned because he wanted to be a comedian.

Nancy ignored him mostly while she talked to Sandra Muffin about kids – does she want to have another child? All Johnny wanted to do was have a coffee.

Then this cutie pie joined the conversation and his friendship bar with Sandra skyrocketed! Potential love interest there? Oh no, he’s already married. Bummer. We are not going there, Sandra! Johnny didn’t seem to enjoy this conversation with Nancy there. He left shortly after.

After her eventful day meeting new sims, Sandra called Don and they talked for a while. Sadly she did not befriend him over the phone. But Don said he could come over the next day. This is not a date, I swear!

Sandra bought a new stereo she could show to Don. Funny enough, buying the stereo fulfilled her whim to dance. Lol! Did she dance while buying the stereo? Sneaky, Sandra, very sneaky.

Before Don came over, Sandra decided to cook up some beans and sausages on the outdoor grill.  This was a whim and she fulfilled it autonomously! I didn’t know sims did that. Go, Sandra!

Don finally came over, but apparently he liked fastfood more than Sandra’s homemade beans and sausages. Rude.

He was also pretty bummed by how dirty the place was. Sandra is a slob after all. Oh dear, this is not going well! I’m really afraid that they won’t become friends today.

Don left Sandra at the table and went off to the computer. Something there must have gotten him really excited! Stop it, Don, you should be talking to Sandra!

Finally, the two found an activity they could enjoy together: the pool!

Sandra was playful at the time so I selected the action “Swim around playfully” but it didn’t really differ from regular swimming except that she swam a bit faster. Lame.

But finally, her and Don became friends! Yay, with that third friend her aspiration milestone is complete! Her other friends are Nancy Landgraab and the doctor Laura Stevens. Sandra celebrated with…

Bicblock at the purple computer! It’s back! By the way, Sandra is really into video games she plays all the time when I let her do stuff autonomously. She’s addicted! I think it’s due to her goofbally nature.

That’s it for today! Hope you tune in next time when I finally play another household.

  1. Congrats on Sandra for reaching her first aspiration goal. Like Sandra, I’d have to admit I’m a gaming addict, too when it comes to Sims and Tetris was one of my favorite games. (The RL version of Bitchblock, I think.)

  3. Super fun chapters! I’m loving the German lessons! (I think I’ll be including some of the terms I’m learning from you in my upcoming neighborhood rotation.) And Sandra is an awesome Sim!

  4. Yay for more Sandra! I can understand how hard it is to let go of her. She’s such a fun Sim! 🙂

    *sounds of chewing* ninjapig approves of her fish tacos. I’m afraid there aren’t many left in the fridge for Sandra anymore! :/

    Oh dear, will things progress romantically with Don? I’m a bit concerned!

    1. I’m really not sure :/ she hasn’t rolled any whims to start something yet and Don hasn’t tried either. I think they are more like really good friends because Sandra knows Don but doesn’t judge 🙂

  5. I like how you pay attention to the thought bubbles. I confess I kind of ignore them, but now I think I’ll try to look at them more, lol. I liked this chapter a lort. Aww, and it sucks that the redhaired hottie is married! I liked his smile, oh well, lol.
