Hey,
It's been so long since I last posted to LJ that I hardly remember how to do it, lol. Anyway, I made a household with Phoenix and Edgeworth today and thought I'd share a few pictures (their family is called OBJECTION! BTW XD)
Just some info in advance: I got the awesome sims from here
http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=289039 (seriously, they're among the most beautiful sim mods I've ever downloaded!)
Phoenix's aspiration is popularity, Miles's fortune (though I did wonder if I should choose knowledge instead) and they have a dog called Pess. XD Their turn-ons are cleaning skills + hard worker (Phoenix) and logic + charisma (?) for Edgeworth (turn offs: Phoenix = beards, Edgeworth = unemployed lol).
Unfortunately, I don't have any fancy programs or anything, I just play the game on my laptop for fun, so yeah, screenshots quality is just from the in-game photos and stuff. Hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
This is what their house looks like. It was a pre-made "Romantic Home" or something for 40+ k, I used the motherlode cheat once before moving them there. I only made a few small changes, like buying a different bed (the initial one had a flower design...), a piano, chess, a TV and computer, an alarm and a few pieces of art and stuff for the dog.
The very first thing Miles did was walk up to the fake fruit platter and dislike it. You're one posh spoiled brat, sir!
The second thing is shaking his head when it comes to these trees. Did I mention he's spoiled?
Phoenix plays with the dog first! Now there's some character establishing moments for both of them right here. XD
So on the first day, they both signed up for security service (as did Pess). Phoenix actually wanted to pursue the culinary job and Edgeworth business, but the jobs didn't appear. On the second day, I changed them to gumshoes.
I had to get them to befriend each other on the first day so they'd share the bed, but I was surprised to see that Edgeworth liked Phoenix way better than vice-versa! He had about 50 points towards Phoenix while Phoenix only had 20 towards Miles. o_O Not what I would expect from canon. XD Also, when Phoenix flirted once (mostly he joked, appreciated and just talked) Miles immediately had a crush on him while Phoenix only saw him as a friend, dawww.
It's kinda cute how they're facing each other when they sleep, not so cute though that Phoenix dreams about some random chick (but he did dream of Miles at one point, too!)
Love the pseudo-refined Edgeworth is making when he's talking about fat sumo wrestlers!
"Verily, if I do say so myself, fat sumo wrestlers are just the beeeest, you agree, non?"
Apparently, Phoenix does NOT agree. Maybe it's a conversation about (fat) steel samurai and Edgeworth's being nerdy?
I love how close they're standing even when they're talking about something as simple as... a ball.
It's their first or second day only as gumshoe and they already got promoted, yay! Phoenix also brought home a friend from work, Castiel (from Supernatural). XD When he passed by Edgeworth, a lot of hearts came up from Edgey :P Guess someone's definitely not very straight here. But nonetheless, they don't appear to have chemistry (Phoenix and Miles have one bolt for each other) and the interest didn't seem to hold.
Who would have thought we would see Edgeworth preparing food? He and Phoenix used to take turns in the beginning.
... but Edgeworth isn't a very good cook, he's burning the mac and cheese here.
Meanwhile, the guest is watching TV. I think Castiel likes what he sees. Does it involve pizza boys?
Somehow, at lot of the conversations with Edgeworth end up being seen negatively by someone. I wonder why :O
At first they're talking about... kissing? :P And do agree on that point. So, kisses are great...
"... but I don't like jewelry and anything overly womanly!" "WHAAAAT, OMG, ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEE?"
Phoenix is having some trouble eating the burnt food...
I really hope he knows better than to tell Edgeworth to his face that he can't cook here, though.
I don't think Castiel likes the food much, either.
I guess they're watching something... supernatural! This is the second time Castiel visits, Phoenix invited him over (it's funny, a random neighborhood dude invited Phoenix to Downton on the first day or something too, but I declined because where's the fun in going there with a generic character. I should probably kick them out sometime soon, it'd be funnier with all the game / anime characters I have around in the neighbourhood) so Miles could have some company. I guess he was growing lonely, one of his wishes was making a friend, daw. XD (Remember that his aspiration is something different, he usually only always wants to get promoted or get stuff.)
Whatever it is they're watching, I don't think Edgeworth likes it very much. Poor Edgey-poo!
At some point the movie became awkwardly romantic, I guess. And they talk about how Edgeworth burnt the food, good old times!
Fanservice hooray! And yup, this is the mess Phoenix makes while taking a shower.
I wonder what they're talking about... construction worker costume fetish? And naked Phoenix appears in the background once more!
Castiel, being not very subtle.
Miles chose to play the piano and it looked absolutely insane the way he played with that huge grin and over-exaggerated movements (and of course the fact that his creativity was on level 0 and it sounded really stupid added additional hilarity). I took a short video of it too. XD
Phoenix cooking, who would have thought he'd be such a gourmet cook compared to Miles? :P He gained a cooking point already while preparing their food. This time, Edgeworth brought a colleague home from work, it's Sam (lol), also from the Supernatural team.
I like to imagine that Edgeworth is talking about his refined culinary skills, while Sam is thinking that Phoenix is probably the one who did make the food (which he would be right about). Or maybe he's just too preoccupied thinking about Phoenix to pay Miles attention lol. Either way, after this Miles was unimpressed and had a - interaction... yet again. XD
Is he nervous to sit down besides Phoenix? :P
Miles is washing Pess. I do love that we got an artwork with his pink pyjamas, so I knew what to choose when it came to that. XD
I guess it isn't easy though...
Yeah, Miles manages to burn toaster pastries, too. You can see the burnt pile on the floor.
Because everything is full of unwashed dishes, they're eating like this, kinda weird, if you ask me. They didn't talk to each other during this, either. Edgeworth does tidy up automatically every time I leave him alone for a second, but I didn't see the point in it when the (male) maid would be coming in a few hours.
Just for the record, this is how Phoenix sometimes looks like when he eats, hahaha. Adorable, right? Since he's very sloppy and Miles fastidious, their way to eat differs a lot and looks really funny next to each other,
BTW, at one point, this random teenager appeared in front of the house, waved at Phoenix and then stood around like this, looking all rejected. Uh. Yeah, kinda creepy.
That's it for now! Not much happened yet, it's only been 3-4 days. :3 Do feel free to tell me what you think, though. XD I'm also open for suggestions. Currently, it seems like Phoenix would like to take an island vacation and Edgeworth wants to buy some clothes. XD
