Emotional Struggles

Friday, Fall in Vista Hermosa (June 7)


Tae: Davi maxed his toddler skills yesterday. Ever since, he’s been earning a few bonus toddler milestones like Art Appreciation.


Alej: Xica wakes up this morning with an Angry “Emotional Struggles” moodlet, which I’m hopefully prepared to deal with. I wonder how many days until a fairy toddler/child entirely overcomes Emotional Struggles?


After using my fairy ability “Help Manage Emotions” to try calming Xica down, I’m notified that I’ve helped her regulate her emotions. But she still has that 4-hour angry Emotional Struggles moodlet, which I eventually override with positive moodlets from friendly socials.

Alej: Just as I send off Xica for a much-needed potty break, Yuna wakes up with the same Emotional Struggles moodlet. I repeat the same process, followed by 4-5 friendly socials.

Thankfully, Davi woke up hungry but not angry this morning.

You see why it takes us so long to get out of the house each day?

Tae: While they’re toddlers, Alej and I want our kids to enjoy as many uniquely fun and memorable experiences as possible. Today, we postpone our WfH tasks until later to visit Papa Jun’s house in Gibbi Point’s Jellyfish Junction where the kids can Play in Open Water at the beach.


Alej:  While the kids play, I get a phone call, asking if I’d participate in a romantic reality show called “7 Wild Dates.”  Of course, I sign up. I was made for this challenge!  Tae and I can definitely go on 7 back-to-back perfect dates. Maybe we can even knock out the Romantic Explorer’s first milestone along the way!


(Back home)

Tae: I can’t believe I have 4 hours of WfH assignments to complete! We both have to watch the Dating Reality show for 2 hours, so let’s do that together.

Shoji: Isn’t that the fella who raised you, Tae? What were my daughters thinking entrusting you to him in Forgotten Hollow? Sometimes, I don’t understand Brytani and Megumi at all!


Alej: Rowan phones to ask if he should try impressing his boss to nab an upcoming promotion. That’s what I’d do if I were him, so I tell him to go for it. I really hope that works out for him!


Alej: We start our first of seven dates with a Get-to-Know-You date. During our first hour, Tae autonomously asks to extend the date twice, giving us ample time to earn gold. It’s been so long since we’ve had time to ourselves, not even the slide in the background fazes us.


After reaching gold, we still have hours left so we decide to share two sweetheart boxes each for the Romantical Explorer goal.


Our first perfect date! I have a flirty moodlet that tracks my 7 Wild Dates progress, but its wording is confusing. It’s 2 a.m. Saturday now, so I have a break until 2 am Sunday, then I have another 24-hour period to either start or complete my second perfect date?
The toddlers will be done skilling tomorros, so I'll ask Tae out on two dates a day for the next three days, maybe even take a vacation day or two.


Watcher’s Notes

*Emotional Struggles: It seems that Xica and Yna’s angry moodlet vanished before four hours passed but I can’t say for sure because I didn’t check the starting time. Will check time, for sure.

*Faster Promotions: Tae & Alej cannot get the Negotiate a Bonus option (from L10 Charisma) to work. However, due to Tae’s L9 Research & Debate, he can Convince Boss to Give Bonus.

*Critter Hunter: Because Tae completed this aspiration, his Embrace option (under Romance/Physical Intimacy) is replaced by Cocoon Hug. But three Cocoon Hugs didn’t satisfy Romantic Explorer’s Embrace x3 goal, so I used UI Cheats to complete this goal.
