March 5th, 2010: Part 2: Mysterious Stranger Perk

Well, who is this handsome fellow? This is Stephan, a married man that Gerald scoped out at the pool a few days ago. He has odd work and partying hours, so Gerald was pretty excited that Stephan finally came over. Then Stephan left to go to work almost immediately.

Fun fact: George and Charlotte don't really care.

Hannah's paintings now sparkle as she touches them because she is a master painter, artistic, and has purchased the Super Creative perk with her Lifetime Happiness points.

MY NAME IS BRYANT AND MY PUNISHMENT FOR BREAKING THINGS IS SOLVING THE UNSOLVABLE ALL NIGHT SO THAT I EMBARRASS MYSELF AT WORK TOMORROW BY FAINTING AND THEN PEEING MY PANTS

Oh god DAMNIT. Okay, explanation time: cheap stuff breaks. A lot. While the family now has a fairly large house, they didn't have the money to get exquisite furnishings. They basically live in a huge trailer. It is not terrific (maybe I should sell some of those expensive++ books Charlotte collects?).

This is why Charlotte and George get to do what they want. They are cute.

March 5th, 2010: Part 3: Green

What is the gorgeous, wonderful, tasteful (moreso than her daughter), talented Charlotte making?

Key Lime Pie. Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Gerald gets none of the pie becauseGeorge and Bryant devoured itGerald spent his day stalking people and angrily drinking tea at the gym.

I like it when couples/families do stuff together. The Sims is such a hectic juggling and balancing and unicycling act that it's tough to get low- and medium-income families to spend much time on the same lot, let alone the same room.

I was very careful with this image and -

HOLY WHATSICLES

March 5th, 2010: Part 4: The Good Hands of Bryant Heritage, and the Wooing of Stephan March-Steel

So I redid the upstairs bathroom.

Crisis over: the toddler is just a roomie's son or something. Stephan is free for checking out... except for that pesky wife. Thankfully for the toddler, Bryant has a magnet inside of him that drags him toward any and all children. Not pictured: horrible, grueling hours of Bryant shopping for, dressing up, speaking in goo-goo language to and otherwise spoiling this random child.

"So I want to fly my X13 into your -"

I half-redid the kitchen. I need to buy new tables and chairs and counters and make it more interesting in general, but it has new appliances and whatnot. Those green clouds are toxic fumes from old dishes George hasn't cleaned up yet.

Okay, this is it. This is Gerald asking Stephan to divorce his wife, Georgette. The game actually warned me that some people were going to hate Gerald... and Gerald instantly rolled the Wish to "beat up Georgette."

March 5th, 2010: Part 5: Screw text/image limits in RMN posts

And then I redid Gerald (and Stephan's!) bedroom. The bed vibrates and is from the first expansion pack for The Sims 1, Livin' Large. In the original game, it was the only way to make babies outside of excessive kissing/phone calls (yes).

Oh yeah. Hannah digs Bryant's comely adoration of her new fat.

Uuuuuuuuuh so I don't have this family anymore. I do, however, still play The Sims!
Would you people be interested if I continue doing stuff like this? Would you like to just watch the highlights of various sim adventures, or follow a specific family? I play a modded-up Hardcore Difficulty (takes more positive moodlets (mood buffs) to keep sims happy, bills are like 5x more than default, you have to pay to get new clothes, jobs take longer to get better at...), so if I just start with a single sim and show you how they grow it would be painful for me (single sims with no skills make poop for money) and hilarious for you!
Another interesting option is that I explore a new neighborhood I downloaded called Neverglade. The creator never added, err... sims. So while the game immigrates sims in, and I have a mod that has the ability to rapidly immigrate sims, I'd make a few interesting families, plop them in, and switch around to generate fun and chaos for you to see.
A different, less taxing idea is that I just upload a few amusing pictures (like the ones below) and we play CAPTION CONTEST. Basically, you, uh, submit captions for photos. Maybe I'll make that a separate topic.
So... you interested?
(Below are some random, moderately amusing images I pulled from my most recent screenshot folder.)
MaryKay is displeased with you.
Peter smiled to himself. "I always make them think they're hot," the stylist thought, "but I know the truth."
Big Mama moved into the new house, and gave her daughter ice cream - but Big Mama wasn't impressed with her daughter's reaction. Her daughter was usually a good little girl. Tonight, however, there would be spanking. Lots and lots of spanking.
Peter always thought Delbert was silly, yet cute. But the santa hat? Soon it would burn.
