Build A City Challenge
I was tempted to make sims who represented real life people, but decided against it. Mainly because I think I have more talent at making the imaginary seem real, than the real seem imaginary. I did however base my founder on my husband Martin, who is indeed an Aries, with a thirst for knowledge and the blond haired, blue eyed good looks of a Norse God - and you can't tell I'm biased at all! Anyway, on with the challenge, and the new, not quite yet a City, of Millisimoria.
MILLISIMORIA - Only a fool would move here!
Meet Martin London, a sim on a mission. The mission, to build a new City, from scratch. Why, only he knows! But the top secret mission involves the implementation of many regulations, and it wasn't a challenge to be accepted lightly. Fortunately Martin has a determination not seen in many sims, and he's driven by an unseen force to face and conquer whatever this barren land can throw at him!
Martin gets down to digging a foundation for his new home. He's hoping to find treasure while he digs, but only unearths bones and rocks. All the bones are not a good sign. Did an earlier intrepid explorer perish here long ago, unable to sustain life in such a harsh and forbidding environment, he ponders?
Luckily his real life model is not half as dramatic! Also, he's not a complete whinger either, unlike the sim with the shovel.
"Well, who's bright idea was it to buy a bookcase, but forget about a toilet?" grumbles Martin crossleggedly!
"And another thing, I was promised help when I got here, in the form of a mate. I feel like Adam in a garden of Adam's. Where's the Eve that was mentioned in my mission brief? I've been here two years now, and the only sims I've laid eyes on are the paperboy, and Jonathon Bertino.
"And another thing; what was the point in wasting money on a double bed? I've been here four years now, and although Jonathon's my best friend, I just don't think of him as a life partner, if you get my drift. As for no fire alarm rule, that's just plain suicidal. Do you want me to burn to death in some small shack, with no-one to plead for my life?"
Carry on complaining, and it's getting more and more tempting. This could be the shortest challenge ever attempted. Pull yourself together man! Anyhow, you could always ask Jonathon to move in. He's very fond of you, and I'm sure he'd plead for your life if it came to it!
"I don't want Jonathon, I want a real woman - preferably a plump and cuddly woman, who can cook!
So, someone like your Mother! Anyway, I think someone's walking past, I'd run if you want to meet them. It could be the girl of your dreams, so best you hurry.
OK, so I was wrong. It wasn't the girl of your dreams, it was Abijheet. Your long term relationship prospects are even better with him than with Jonathon. Maybe you should ask him to move in? After all, we need to raise the population somehow!
"Talking about increasing the population makes me realise I put myself in danger of wiping out the entire population everytime I cook. How about I learn fire prevention?"
How about, you learn to cook? After all, the secret hobby lot isn't called Sue's Secret Kitchen for nothing. I mean, unless Johnny Cash has really caught on in Millisimoria, Sue's bound to be a girl, right!
"Wrong."
"And before you ask, no, he did not whet my appetite."
"On the other hand Tina Player does push at least some of my buttons. The fact she's female is the biggest plus!"
"And she loves me."
You're sure a fortune sim is what we need to raise the population level? I was hoping you'd find a nice family sim to settle down with.
"Look, I've been here for six years waiting for a woman to walk past. I could be forty before I see another one go by. Standards are fine, and I wish we found each other more attractive too, but beggars can't be choosers. She'll do already."
So, now you have enough money for a small business, are you going to invite her over, and ask her to move in? You could always wait for a family sim to turn up. I'm not pushing you. After all, if it's a disaster, I don't want the blame.
"You talk like she's hideous, or hates me. She's fine, and I've waited long enough to test out that double bed, thank you very much."
Tina moves in with $2,000. For a Fortune sim, it's not much of a fortune. But she does have something almost beyond price - four talent badges. A silver in robotics, and a bronze in restocking, sales, and cash register. I'll give it to Martin, his luck is finally changing. In a city without jobs, Tina is a business opportunity waiting to happen. In fact, her first want is to purchase a community lot.
Tina is much luckier than Martin it would seem. Her first dig in the garden unearths a treasure chest, or stock for her first business, which is the way to look at it. The week ends with some long time coming bed testing. At least Martin was finally happy, and he's not quit. Which is a bonus!
