Strangerville Part Twenty-One (contains Strangerville Mystery Spoilers!)

Last time we visited Aldo he was going to the deepest part of the Secret Lab. There are a few things I wish would change about the pack but the way they made the lab is incredible.

Here's Aldo going through the hallway between secret doors. I love the layout of this lab.

He's about to meet the Mother. He has a vendetta with her (it? them? Not sure.) I love how they decorated this hallway with the vines. It's such a nice contrast between the dark hallway and bright vines.

He has met the Mother. I kinda like how Sims automatically have a fully negative relationship with the Mother but it can get irritating. 

The last task on the third part of the aspiration was collecting spore clusters. The best spot to find them is near the bizarre plants outside the lab. You usually get 5.

Harmony left Aldo one bizarre fruit, so he used it and some of the spore clusters to make one vaccine. If it doesn't work then he will stop by the Curio Shop to get more.

Aldo wanted to try the vaccine before he made more. Harmony told him it took her three tries to perfect the vaccine, so he figured it would take three tries for him as well. Here he is trying his first dose with Bethany Levesque, a fellow Military Personnel. Unfortunately it didn't work.

He was out of bizarre fruits, so he went to the Curio shop to get more. He could have gotten some from the Secret Lab, but he likes the idea of helping other Sims.

He was about to go to the bar to get a drink when Cassandra Goth asked him if he wanted to come over. He hasn't been to the Goth home so he figured why not. Mortimer made macaroni and cheese, so they're having some great discussion while eating dinner. 

Alexander and Bella joined after Aldo finished his meal. And this angle makes Alexander look like he's hiding behind a pot.

Cassandra was working when he got there. When she got home she started to play violin. Aldo watched for a few minutes and tipped her 20 Simoleons. Then he started playing guitar. I'm sure Cassandra is maybe a level 2 in the Violin skill, while Aldo isn't even level 2 in Guitar. He does level up a couple minutes after this was taken.

It was nearing midnight on Saturday night, so he figured he should go home. He cleaned the vines out of the downstairs toilet then worked on his speech. His criteria for a promotion is reaching level 8 of the Charisma skill. He's barely level 6, so he has some work to do.

Sunday Aldo wanted to work on his vaccine. He can't wait to defeat the Mother for Harmony.

He's hard at work on this vaccine. Let's hope it works!

Aldo knows plenty of possessed Sims hang out near the 8 Bells Bar and Strangerville Library, so that's where he went to try it. This is Military Personnel Stephan Harris. Let's see what happens.

Uh oh, it didn't work. Instead of curing him from the infection, it made him pass out! After a drink, it's back to the lab.

Aldo really likes coming to the 8 Bells Bar. The drinks are good and he meets people that also work in the Military career. He's having his favorite drink, Cupid Juice.

That wraps up today's trip to Strangerville! Next time we visit, we'll see if the third time really is the charm for the vaccine. Since I recently bought Get Together, I plan on adding the Sims Aldo vaccinates in a club and having them meet at the Lab. If you have Get Together, I recommend creating a club so you don't forget who you're recruiting. I had that issue with Harmony and another Sim I had solve the mystery (in a different save).
