Days 46 & 47: Money and Promotions

Day 46 

I got up and headed to the pizza place at the docks for some cash. Got me just a little closer to that $10k I need. Next stop was the gym. There was a mirror there, so I could not work out, but practice my charisma. This was my way to a jam session promotion, I was certain of it. I didn't get that promotion today, so I'd have to keep trying. Maybe tomorrow I'll practice my guitar skills.

Day 47

I practiced my guitar for a bit, and when I felt like I wasn't getting anything from that, I headed to the library to study up on the instrument. I felt like I was getting somewhere with that. The library doesn't have anywhere to sit, so my legs were tired after that. I went and sat outside the hospital until I could go to VirtuChem to sell all the cans and stuff I've picked over the last several weeks.By the time I was done there, I was only 5 simeloens short for the 10k. I went to Club Rubb to earn that last bit of cash. Wouldn't you know it, I got promoted too! Tomorrow I'll have to find Daddy Bigbucks to pay him.

Day 45: The Sim Valley Champion

 I woke up bright and early and headed down to the dock for some fishing. I  was hoping once I was done, I'd spot the Veloci-Rooster. I was right! He was there! I chased him down and picked him up! Now to find Daddy Bigbucks and inform him of all my accomplishments. Unfortunately, when I called him to meet up, he said he would be at Paradise Island for awhile. So I went to do some Pizza Pandemonium to kill time.

I went home to rest for a bit then headed back out and to Club Rubb. Daddy Bigbucks was there as I hoped he would be. He was very pleased and gave me 1000 simoleons for my efforts. I then spoke to him about moving into a bigger house. He said he could make it happen, but I'd need 8 friends, good job standing, and 10000 simoleons. I already have 8 friends, and I was halfway to 10000 simoleons. I just needed to get promoted in either the pizza competition or jamming out. 

On that note, I decided to end the night with a jam session. Didn't get promoted, though. 

Days 41-44: Getting Swol

 Day 41

Training time! I headed straight for the gym to start working out. I exhausted myself and headed home. On my way, I stopped by Cheatum and Howe. They had a bed in stock! So no more sleeping on my couch or gazing into the crystal ball for energy! Now I just need to buy a toilet... After some rest, I headed back to the gym and hit the punching bag for a while. 

Day 42

Back to the gym! Spent the day there and then called it an early night.

Day 43

I felt like today would be the last day I really needed to be at the gym. Then I could set my sights on defeating Mad Willie Hurtzya, the bull riding competition, and the veloci-rooster. I was wrong about it being my last day. I'd need one more day at the gym, or part of a day. 

Day 44

I went to the gym, worked out some more, then approached the boxer. He immediately knocked me out. I rested up a bit and went back to the boxing ring. I knocked Willie out real good! Next is the bull riding record. So I headed to Country Cafe, where they had bull riding, and I beat that record! Now to figure out how to get the Veloci-Rooster...

That would have to be a task for tomorrow. I decided to reward myself for a productive day by jamming out at Club Rubb.

Days 39 & 40: Finally Finding Daddy Bigbucks

 Day 39

It was an uneventful day. I made some pizza, and jammed out. Got a promotion with the band!

Day 40

I almost found Daddy Bigbucks. I called him up, he said he was at the park, but by the time I got there he was gone. I called him again, and no answer. I headed over to my uncle's to earn some mowing money. I finally found Bigbucks outside VirtuChem. We talked about the triathlon. He wants to do chicken wrangling, bull riding, and boxing. He says the mayor won't help because he doesn't think it sounds exciting, but I think those things sound plenty exciting. So naturally, I offered to help. This means I need to do all of those activities and report back to Daddy Bigbucks.

So what exactly will I be doing? Beating the bull riding record, knocking out the boxer, and catching that Veloci Rooster. 

So it was to the gym to buff up! This is likely how I'll spend the next few days. Preparing for the triathlon.

Days 37 & 38: Art and Pizza

Day 37 

I was out so late last night that I slept until 3pm. I called Daddy Bigbucks, and he was still at Paradise Island. My goal then became going through the maze outside of town to Lover's Leap to paint a beautiful picture to sell to Daschel Swank. I had a great time painting. I was out all night. I forgot to eat and passed out. I woke up in the hospital at 5am.

Day 38

I went home and took a shower and ate something before heading to the dock for some fishing. I found Daschel and offered him my art. He asked how much I thought it was worth. I said 400 simoleons, and he gave me 5000! What a deal! I hope with this, the mayor sees how foolish it would be to not open an art gallery. Now I had enough for the cooking show entry fee. I found Lottie Cash and gave her the money. I ran to the docks as fast as I could, because that's where the pizza diner was, so I could compete before the day ended.

Day 36: I'm Officially a Band Member

 I woke up pretty late. Called Dady Bigbucks. He was on Paradise Island. I have no idea where that is or how to get there, so I guess I'd just have to wait. To kill time I mowed Uncle Hayseed's grass for some cash.

Wandering around town I ran into Daschell Swank. I asked him if he'd seen sny good exhibitions lately. He said he's been trying to convince the mayor to open an art gallery for years because he thinks so many Sim Valley locals are full of talent. I told him I'd help him out by painting Lover's Leap. It's this lovely place just outside of town.

After our chat, I went to Club Rubb in the hopes to find Daddy Bigbucks there. He wasn't, but Vera Vex was. So we talked. I let her know I did everything she asked, and now I'm in a band! We meet at Club Rubb! So naturally, I had to immediately do a jam session since I was already there. The first session went really well, and I got promoted! 

I was unable to complete my initial goal of talking to Daddy Bigbucks, but I'd still say it was a successful day. 

Days 33-35: Finding a Place to Jam

Day 33

While running home from jail, I passed out from hunger and woke up in the hospital. Since my fridge was still broken, I went to my uncle's for a bite to eat, then mowed his grass.

I stopped by the general store to see that they finally had a toilet in stock. 

Then I headed to the gym and practiced speaking in the mirror. Charisma would be an important skill if I was going to be in a band.

I finished up the day by doing some smoothie sliding and headed home.

Day 34

I spoke to Vera Vex a bit this morning. Then I asked around about places to jam. No luck yet. Decided to do the bodybuilder competition and got a promotion! I decided to check out Club Rubb, the club I got to reopen. I saw Daddy Bigbucks there. I thought maybe he could tell me where to jam. Before I could really talk to him about it, though, I was overcome with tiredness and needed to go home. I'll have to talk to him tomorrow.

Day 35

I spent the day doing some self-care. I realized I don't do that enough. Then I ran into Uncle Hayseed. I decided to see if he had any ideas on where a band could jam, and surprisingly, he did! I still wanted to find Daddy Bigbucks, he had mentioned something about a triathlon before I had to leave last night, so I wanted more information on that. Before finding Bigbucks, I went to the Burning Spoke to do some work. I ran into Vera Vex while heading home. We chatted for a bit, and I decided I'd have to talk to Daddy Bigbucks tomorrow. I entered my home to find I'd been robbed again! They stole my toilet again!
