Under The Bridge: Homeless challenge
Hi guys. I recently took part in The Chempound Round Robin Legacy started by mikelisryker
I'm gonna have generation two (squeaks in excitement) . And while I'm waiting for my turn I decided to post, for practice, this thing I've been amusing myself for last month.
I didn't wanna start a legacy because I'm not sure for how long it could keep my interest before it became a burden on my time so I picked something shorter. It's a homeless challenge (read the info).
Warning: nudity, coarse language, bad puns and horrible attempts at humor will appear. If you are offended by those move on to something else.
First some general info:
I'm not following the challenge rules to the letter. I just didn't want my sim sleeping on the floor of empty lot. I'm a graphic whore.I like things to look pretty so I build her appropriate dwelling. Old ruined bridge. And since it was annoying for me waiting for sim to pass out I gave her visually fitting bed and a bucket for toilet. Also there is a suitcase/closet so she wouldn't go out in her pj-s. There is also bunch of decorations for authenticity purposes.
As a portable object she has a violin.
The main goal of the challenge is to earn $20,000. But as I was playing earning money stopped being my one and only goal. It was just so much fun building relationships and doing stuff that her account suffered a bit and I'm no way near that number.
She started off with a sum of $200 and while she had enough to pay for food an bills I wasn't really tracking the state of account.
About the sim:
She's a fortune sim with LTW of earning $100 000 +25 000 Aspiration + 10 000 Influence
Personality: 0-7-8-0-7. Because I like playing with extremes and always roll which two traits will be 0 while I max out others. I was lucky here she's really easy to play.
About neighborhood: It's a clean one populated with custom made sims (list is in the end of the post) and the whole neighborhood has a naming scheme of gems, ores and minerals.
And now with the story:
Meet Crystal Quartz.
She recently became homeless. After being evicted from her home she found residence under the old demolished bridge.
She decided that she would start her life anew and become a musician.
Crystal: Hi!. So this is where I live now. It’s not much. It sure as hell ain’t home. But I made myself a bed out of junk I found around, and I have my bucket.
I love my bucket. I don’t even want to imagine life without my precious, precious bucket. I also had this tire swing I made for myself, but someone stole it.
Lillany: I admit nothing. Besides, you were obsessed with that swing. You didn’t want to go sleep while it was there.
She’s rather passionate and determined to make her living as a musician.
Crystal: Damn you violin. I shall be the master of you. You’ll be my bitch before this challenge is over.
Lillany: It’s time to meet some people honey.
Crystal: Well nice to meet you too Corundum. Do I live here? Oh no no no. Why would you think that? I was just passing by. Have you seen any police around?
Homeless or not, girl’s gadda eat. Short walk to the diner nearby and more introductions and meaningless small talk.
Yule: Oh yes! That weather. Ghastly! Ghastly I say.
Crystal: Yes, yes. I’m sure that is why Emery is giving me that blank stare and is ignoring me.
Lillany: Or maybe you smell !?
Bowen: Hi there!
Crystal: Why hello you, you … cupcake. You didn’t happen to notice any police around, did you muffin?
Lillany: Crys? Are you hungry? And stop with asking everyone about police. You’re acting suspicious.
Crystal: I’m not really impressed with your penthouse you know.
Slate: As If I would want to impress you.
The need to maintain hygiene caught up with her at last.
Crystal: It’s so embarrassing having a sponge bath in a sink at the diner you know. I just hope no one enters before I’m finished.
And it’s time to test those money making music skills of hers
Crystal: My first gig!!!!! You know my mum always claimed I was a born performer.
Lillany: I’m not sure the crowd agrees.
Petoskey: Are these girls for real? God they suck!!!!
No point in letting a meek reception be a downer on your mood.
Crystal: He did seem bit of an asshole at first. But he’s a good dancer.
Not discouraged by last night’s less than enthusiastic response to their playing girls decided to double their efforts and team up again.
Again the crowd was not overwhelmed with performance. They seem more interested in the beer and snacks than in music.
Crystal: I don’t think this is gonna work out. Nobody likes us. Soon I’ll have no money left for food.
Lillany: Look at the bright side: beer is free.
Party moved to old factory site and you know how it is when everyone’s had a few beers and emotions get high. Yule and Nephrite Jade got into a fight.
Nephrite Jade lost but at least everyone had a great time watching it.
Crystal : Jasperine can’t really hold her liquor.
Lillany: That does seem to be common occurrence tonight.
Slate: I’m going on a cruise. On a big ship.
Crystal: Hello!? Homeless here! I would be happy with a carpet. And a door. Door would be enough, carpet would be pure indulgence.
Blending with the natives requires adopting they strange customs.
Last night Jasperine and Crys discovered they have some artistic differences.
I guess they won’t be playing together anymore. She was into country anyway.
More attempts to earn one’s living. And a kids’ playground is as good a place as any.
Crystal: I’ll try doing some free styling.
Lillany: Crowd seems to enjoy theirselves.
Crystal: yeah they sure did enjoy …. not giving any tips. Cheap bastards.
Crystal: Just one plate of food for starving artist! Any food! I’ll pay you up when those cheap bastards start giving me tips.
Lillany: You do realize she’s a waitress? I don’t think you’ll get any sympathy for no tips from her. I think you’ll just have to try and find some unfinished meals.
Crystal: Eating from other people plates! Their leftovers!!! Oh the embarrassment!!!!!
Lillany: If you don’t stop whining I’ll take away your bucket privileges.
Crystal: Leftovers here I come.
She does seem to find some relief in over indulging in beer.
With predictable results.
Maybe some romance could save the day.
Crystal: Hello there sugar! I'm new in town. Could you give me directions to your apartment?
Lillany: Classy, so classy.
Lillany: How about this guy?
Crystal: So not my type. And what’s with talking about his ex while he’s trying to smooth talk me. I might be drunk but I’m not an idiot. Ain’t gonna happen.
More people to get to know.
Almandine: So I was like: Wicked face paint girlfriend!!!
Crystal: (Stares blankly in distance)
Petoskey: Yea I have money. But no. No tips for you until you stop sounding like a feline in heat.
When your own music is not bringing you any money, start making some by playing someone else’s.
Unsavory charlatan seems to be putting a pass at Jade but she won’t budge.
But Granite seems to be rather impressed with Crys’s DJ-ing.
After a hard work at the DJ booth what could be better than a relaxing bath at jacuzzi.
Crystal: So you can speak!? I would’ve never guessed.
Granite: Uhm…
On that eloquent response I'm leaving you until next time...
List of all sims used in neighborhood (because they all pop up sooner or later)

Dedra "Dee" Simmons and Marina by Yuyuchu playing Yule and Nephrite Jade respectively.

Some appearances I changed and modified a bit mainly because I'm trying to keep my skin count in downloads folder under 20. Please take no offense I love all of your sims. If I forgot or mixed up someone please warn me. It's bit hard to tell from who some of them originated when you modified them. If I didn't have you site address I used links to where I found those sims.
God I hope this will post properly I copy/pasted some stuff from word and it clogged up my character count by few thousands and I had to clean manually.
