Better Late Than Never

This is a newer friendship story that you can initiate when your sim becomes friends with an Elder sim. It unlocks a male outfit.

Starting dialogue
Elder: I'm not anti-technology, I just miss talking for people to real. I miss the thrill of checking my answering machine. Your sim: Answering machine?! Here... let's hang out so I can show you my new phone. We can take some pics to post to Simstagram!
 * Your sim: Not sure why you're so anti-technology. Time to embrace the future! It's not like rotary phones are making a comeback.



Ending dialogue

 * Your sim: The pics I posted to Simstagram are getting a lot of likes! Oh! Someone commented... saying they know you? Look!
 * Elder: Oh my... I do know them. Or I used to. We were friends for eighteen years, but then we had a falling out.
 * Your sim: Hmm... but they reached out through the magic of social media. Maybe they want to reconnect?

Starting dialogue

 * Your sim: What happened that caused you to have a falling out with your friend? Don't leave out any juicy details.
 * Elder: Honestly, I'm not sure. I remember telling them I was seeing someone new. Before I knew it, they stopped returning my calls.
 * Your sim: Ooo, maybe you stole their crush! Let's hang out and you can tell me more about them. That might jog your memory!



Ending dialogue

 * Elder: I guess it couldn't hurt to message my long-lost friend and find out if they want to talk after all these years.
 * Your sim: I'll help you! You want to sound friendly, but still cool and casual, like no big deal that you haven't talked in a billion years.
 * Elder: Thanks. I'm not THAT old...

After this chapter is complete, the male outfit "Waist Ascending Casual Wear" is unlocked. It is a sweater with a plaid shirt and high-waisted jeans.

Starting dialogue
"Elder: My long-lost friend responded to me, but I can tell they don't want to talk about the past. I wonder what I did?! It must have been bad.""Your sim: They might just be shy! It's been a million billion years since you guys talked, remember? Because you're old?""Elder: Once again, I'm not THAT old. But that is a good point. Let's hang out and figure out what to do next..."
