Now with moar villainy
I apologize in advance.
Yup, it's a new family. For the uninitiated, from left: Tim "Robin" Drake, Princess Diana d/b/a Wonder Woman, Superman (I'll wager you were able to put that one together yourselves), and Cassie "Wonder Girl" Sandsmark. The game requires each minor to be related to one adult in the same house, so for the purposes of this little demonstration, Wonder Woman has adopted Wonder Girl (not altogether surprising) and Superman has adopted Robin. Believe me, Goddamn Batman doesn't even slightly care.
Welcome to the Hall of Justice. Actually it's more of a Hacienda of Justice, but the rent's a bit better here. And it's next door to a Taco Bell!
Most of the heroic Sims are the gregarious type -- Popularity or Family Sims, with one of their persistent Wants being to meet new people. The paper boy gets almost smothered with attention.
Wonder Girl and Wonder Woman both say hi while Superman gives him a $100 tip...
...and the ladies start spontaneously pillow-fighting.
Superman is pleased to have met someone. Wonder Woman is happy to beating the snot out of someone with a feather pillow. Robin just watches. As one would.
The pillow fight earns Glare of Disapproval #6 from Superman. Also, the "Really? Wow, you're the best, _insertnamehere_!" quote has never sounded as good as when it's said to Superman.
Superman and Robin attempt to frolic outside with a football. Note Superman's enthusiasm for this activity as possibly...irrational.
Robin has enthusiasm for sports. Which is great, because apparently being able to leap tall buildings can't help you pull down a football thrown by a sidekick ten feet away.
Superman gives up, goes inside and starts watching cooking shows. They threw fourteen passes, seven from each. None of them were caught.
Meanwhile, the Legion of Doom is perplexed to find a dearth of available villainous Sims online, so they decide to outsource. Left to right, Lex Luthor (in a classic outfit done very poorly but at least it's recognizable), Boba Fett, Darth Maul, the formidable GI Joe adversary the Baroness, and Edward "The Riddler" Nigma.
And the great thing about this family is you know during the loading screen that things are going to go horribly, horribly wrong.
This Hall of Doom might actually be an upgrade. It's still swamplike, though.
The villains tried seven social actions on each other before any of them entered the house. All seven ended poorly. You'll notice Luthor's dissatisfaction with government is explicit here.
The Riddler wants to be either an adventurer, a scientist, or a spy.
Boba Fett wants either money, more money, a pricey sculpture or to get a job in law.
Luthor's aspirations: crime, business or sports. Anyone care to guess which he gets?
Luthor gossips to Darth Maul about Boba Fett, who (being about one inch off-screen to the right) is saying "HEY Y'ALL I CAN HEAR EVERY DAMN THING YOU SAYING."
Luthor and Maul play "red hands." The criminal mastermind outreflexes the Jedi Sith Lord. Hm.
Luthor and Maul are quite content with that endeavor, and miss Boba Fett admitting, "I like pretty dresses."
Luthor and Maul try playing "punch you punch me" and it ends just as you'd expect, as Luthor hits too hard and Maul, rubbing his sore arm, calls the whole thing off.
Luthor enjoyed that sports activity -- watching sports.
Darth Maul strips down to his trunks and takes a dip in the ground-floor pool. Baroness is still studying cooking, and the Riddler goes to job-hunt.
The Riddler is now an espionage agent. I prefer to think of him as working for Checkmate.
Lex breaks out the toilet brush after using the toilet for the first time. Oh, this house is going to be a cauldron of insecurities and clashing habits, isn't it?
Riddler and Baroness study cooking. Fett watches TV. Luthor retrieves the Humble computer deposited at every house's front step.
Darth Maul really likes the pool.
Lex Luthor, team mascot. Congratulations...?
Lex and Boba take a dip, Boba keeping his helmet on the entire time.
The welcome wagon stops by. I imagine her internal monologue as being something along these lines: "don't look don't look don't turn don't even acknowledge he's there just keep watching the TV don't worry that he's still staring at you OH MY GOD he's still making that face what the hell is up with that it's been five minutes now and he's got to be getting tired...."
