nuttell 1.0
I wanted to try fuzzy_spork's trailer park challenge ( here) because it seemed like a LOT of fun and would solve the problem of all my families ending up rolling in cash and getting not-so-interesting to play anymore.
I'm using all those rules, with a few changes to suit my gameplay:
- 2x2 lots instead of a 4x4 - I really don't like scrolling around to play bigger lots than that!
- Space might become an issue, so any $$ from spouses or inhertance that can't go to pay for trailer extensions or junk cars due to lack of space will be family-funded away or sent off with spares
- No back door, I don't really have a use for it and a front door is usually enough
- Groceries can be delivered since I don't like playing community lots and ordering them is still a pain anyway
- Heirs will be randomised! (because random is fun, right?)
This is the trailer - not the most interesting lot by about a million miles, but there wasn't much room for interesting-ness when the premise was to create a long straight lot!
This is our founder - Diana Nuttell! She's Taurus and looking to get as much pleasure out of life as possible (however much pleasure you can get from four pregnancies and a boatload of children, that is).
Diana: 'Yep. Get here, NOW'
I figured that we need to get this show on the road with a bit of dating, so Diana got on the phone to the gypsy matchmaker.
Diana: 'I want all that my heart desires, for the whole of 75 simoleans'
Matchmaker: 'Good luck kiddo'
Thus popped down some guy called Callixto, who turned out to be the complete opposite!
Still, it doesn't hurt to have friends, although all he really did was hang around like a bad smell.
Case in point.
And there's no forgetting that Taurus = playful = endless pretending to be a pirate in the bathtub
Diana: 'A taxi? That's no pirateship'
Things clearly didn't turn out with Callixto, so I turned to the local community lot for finding her a date...
...where I forgot to add outdoor lights, and where Diana made a straight beeline for the one person she'd already met and had been hanging about with for the entire afternoon.
I got her to greet Osmaya (jesstheex - be warned that the majority of my townies are her sims), but they weren't a match.
However, Ouranos (also by jesstheex)...
...was right up Diana's street and turned out to be a two-bolter(!)
Which meant for a lot of charming and a trip back home to invite him over (and to relieve my eyes because the lot was SO DAMN DARK)
And they wasted absolutely no time in jumping straight into bed with the ACR adjuster smiling beside them.
Ouranos did bring a friend with him too who stayed in the room to watch the whole sorry affair - Juliette (lovelyxwow)
And in the morning he got invited straight over again for more lovemaking and this time babychimes...
...which, as per the challenge rules, also meant a wedding!
Diana: 'I'm knocked up now and need people to invite to my wedding, so will you be my friend?'
These two are pretty cute together though, and the 14k he brought in with him will go towards the first trailer extension (since they're going to need the space for the baby and dog warren it will soon become)
Diana: 'worryworry'
It's Wednesday night of the first week, which is TOO SOON for hints of aspiration failiure (and to say most of her wants are things like 'eat cereal!' that get achieved constantly)
But, no time for worrying - wedding time! Ft. awful matchmaker, Callixto (who phones Diana EVERYDAY), Juliette, and a boatload more jesstheex sims.
Diana however was just crying and being all sad in her preg gear ):
And the husband-to-be is quick to hit the alcohol, as is Random-Invitee-Who's-Name-I-Don't-Remember (RIWNIDR) #1/.
Apparently spaghetti and meatballs is this season's most popular party grub.
Bad Matchmaker: 'My ~psychic powers of love~ are telling me that Juliette here is definitely jealous'
Dante (another jesstheex): *interested*
In all seriousness though, she always came round when I invited Ouranos round so it's kinda sad that they didn't end up together.
RIWNIDR #1: 'Apparently Juliette witnessed them woohooing!'
Matchmaker: 'I didn't tell him, honestly'
redface!Ouranos: 'And don't forget, marriage sucks!'
I didn't realise he was a romance sim, whoops. Poor guy, looks like you're stuck! (and I must change the way I edit these so he doesn't have a sunburn in every picture)
The sign of an absolutely quality trailer-party.
Not forgetting toiletwars either.
Ouranos: 'Hey you know what boss, I cured my sunburn and got married into a challenge so now I've got to quit my job'
Hopefully one of the allowed careers pops up soon otherwise after the extension they're gonna be poor as hell.
For now though, it's sprogtime!
Only a single birth - but this is Atlas Nuttell! With what I think is his mother's skin + Ouranos' eyes.
That's it for now - thank you for reading! The start of families are always kind of boring but it should start kicking off when more babies and dogs are added to the mix.
