The Oceanside Project: NPC-palooza
"Meet & Greet 2: Electric Bugaloo"
Warnings: Adult/Teen Romance, belly exposure, excessive heart-farting, an evil teen.
DAY SIX
As the dust settled in the aftermath that was Spring, one condo was available in need of a tenant. Brodie Mason, our party-loving mail carrier, was voted in by the Welcome Wagon to occupy Fitz Biltmore's former residence. Brodie immediately jazzed it up a bit to make it more Brodie-like.
Brodie is a Popularity/Romance Aries that likes hard-working mechanics that aren't brunettes. She loves jamming to music and dreams of one day being a super hero. Right now however she owns the newly built Oceanside Post Office (it's right across the street!) and is now boss of Lars, the other mail carrier, and Frankie the newsie. Brodie would describe herself as an artistic, rebellious, irresistible couch potato that loves eating meat.
Brodie was so excited that she was asked to move from the other side of the island where all of the NPCs live to the pretty main side that she invited all of the other NPCs over to rub their nose in it! Let's meet the extras!
This is Abbot Moulden. He plans on opening a Tinkering hobby spot as soon as a Business District is built. He's a Popularity Aries that likes hard working great cooks that aren't gingers. Even though he's a great mechanic his real passion is for music and dance. He would love to have 20 best friends.
This lovely lady that is not enjoying her conversation is Edwina Goodard. She wants to fill the world with Music & Dance. She's a Knowledge Sagittarius that fancies unemployed creative types that do not wear hats. Even though she is a music and dance expert she really enjoys sports of any kind. One day she would like to max out all of her skills.
Rocky Kotsomiti, who loves looking like a Miami Vice reject, has started a Garden Club here in Oceanside. So far he doesn't have any members but he has high hopes! Another Popularity Aries, Rocky is looking for a mate who is logical and likes to parade around in their chonies, preferably not while wearing glasses though. He wants to own five top notch businesses and really enjoys music and dance.
Shyly standing in the corner is Cuisine enthusiast Paragon Barrett. Yet another Popularity Aries, Paragon is attracted to fragrant, jewelry wearing sims as long as they have a job. He hopes to become a Celebrity Chef but is also very fond of music & dance.
Lars Shadow, Oceanside's other mail carrier, couldn't be bothered to mingle with everyone else (I feel a snob trait in there). Instead he would rather watch "Where Are My Pants" on Brodie's TV. As another Knowledge Sagittarius, Lars fancies an elder that wears a lot of cologne who doesn't have a creative bone in their body. Like Edwina he hopes to max out all of his skills. He hopes Oceanside will soon have a place to play Myshuno as he is a die-hard fan (Yay, Lars is my first Gamer!).
Nature-loving flower child Yasmin Onnen adds to the collection of Popularity Aries that live in no-sims land (there sure are a lot of them). Yasmin dreams of becoming a Hall of Famer even though she's crazy for music & dance. Yasmin likes sun dresses, braided hair, and plump charismatic sims that can't cook.
Achilles Brook, the Science Guy! Another frakkin Popularity Aries (really!?). Achilles wants a creative blonde sim that doesn't wear swimwear. Of course Achilles loves the music and the dance (doesn't everybody?) and he hopes his science experiments will eventually turn him into a radioactive, serum-made super hero that saves the day.
Thankfully our Aquarius artiste Angie Killeen is more Family oriented then her peers. Angie wants a logical chef that doesn't wear a lot of jewels. She hopes to have four children and quickly marry them off so she can have her freedom again. Most of her arts & crafts are of things in nature, what she truly enjoys.
Which brings us to Frankie Cloak Oceanside's own underage newsie. Frankie is a (let's say it together) "POPULARITY ARIES" that hopes to find a blonde or brunette sim that lacks creativity. Frankie is rather sporty and would also like to become a super hero.
Frankie: I look awesome in spandex.
I bet you do dearie.
Note: Calista the homeless fortune teller and Noeleen the driver weren't invited. Noeleen wasn't invited because aren't drivers like robots or something? And Calista wasn't invited because she cursed Vivian Moneywell's baby so she's not allowed to join in any reindeer games.
Fortunately for the love-lorn Frankie, I forgot to wait for her to deliver the paper before I called her over and another teen took over her job! Enter a teen love interest!
Calvin O'Gill, who is added to the Popularity Aries Club, likes swim-suited hard workers but doesn't much care for dyed hair. He hopes to become friends with the whole wide world.
Brodie, thinking Calvin is a hot piece of meat, invites him in to stay and party.
Brodie worked really hard on the other side of the island learning her skills and is already at level 5 in Cooking. For her guests she grills yummy hamburgers full of pickle juice.
Achilles thinks Brodie is a hottie and isn't afraid to let everyone else know.
Abbot is the snazziest dressed hobbyist around. He spawned in those pants and silver cowboy boots so I had to find something to make it work!
Even though two other female sims use this face (Frankie and Calista) I tried to my best to make them all look different.
This is when I discovered that evil resides in Oceanside! Normal sims do not have the ability to whip their heads around.
*Mentally notes Calvin has the Evil trait*
Achilles strikes up a conversation with Frankie...
While Abbot has an inappropriate conversation with Calvin.
Outside Brodie and Paragon hit it off nicely.
Lars is the loudest belcher in the land.
Which amuses Edwina to no end.
I don't know what you should be more offended of Abbot, Lars' belching or all that man meat you're exposing!
Brodie digs Paragon!
Calvin tries to convince Rocky of the merits of having a school in Oceanside. Ha, like he has anything to do with it. By the time a high school opens up, you will already be an adult, mister.
Lars: I wonder why Calista isn't here?
Did you want to be turned into a frog in the middle of lunch?
Achilles also thinks Yasmin is hot. Too bad for you Achilles, Yasmin doesn't like boys.
Awwww. Now Frankie has someone to write about in her diary.
Well, we don't have to worry about office romance here. Lars thinks Brodie is grodie.
Paragon: I just wanted to thank you Brodie for a wonderful lunch. Give me a cuddle!
Brodie: Ewwww. I might be attracted to you but I don't want your paws all over me!
Gahhhh.
Rocky: Brodie's so hot when she's angry.
Frankie sings her little heart out. Thank goodness no one's listening. She's awful.
Lars jumps into the hot tub but is polite enough to not make fun of Frankie.
WE GET IT ROCKY!
Brodie scopes the room to see which sim is the most shiny. She likes Abbot the best...
...but I think Abbot is more interested in teenage boys.
Rocky also seems to have caught our bachelorette's attention.
Paragon joined Lars in the hot tub, then Frankie jumps in as well. I'm not sure I approve of a young lady in the hot tub with two grown men...
Achilles has stalkerish qualities.
Brodie walks to the back deck to check out her options.
Yes he is! You should have let him hug you when you had the chance!
Achilles is also shiny but he's too creepy for my tastes.
Frankie: But Achilles is my man!
Dude, you are just a teenager! Chill!
Besides, you have nothing to worry about. Brodie clearly prefers Paragon over Achilles.
Miss Edwina apparently is not phased by Lars' previous rude behavior. She lets everyone know who she thinks is hot.
Meanwhile Calvin and Abbot shyly flirt.
Edwina claims the empty hot tub spot.
Brodie is a natural-born crooner. No wonder she gets along so well with Diego and Kendrick.
Paragon is still on her mind ^.^
Achilles: ...and if you woohoo with me I can guarantee you will not get pregnant! I use the most advance scientific method of birth control known to sim!
Yeah, I don't think you're going to get any girls talking about soda can birth control when they barely know you!
Brodie is very forgiving, however, and let's his ridiculous comment slide. Brodie and Achilles start a jam session together. They're not half bad!
Unfortunately Angie and Yasmin have negative chemistry.
But that doesn't stop Yasmin from staring at Angie's rack. Sheesh Yasmin, don't be rude!
Angie: I totes don't mind if she stares at my breasts...
Alrighty then.
Achilles resumes Stalker 2.0.
While Brodie rocks out on her own.
Brodie chats up Rocky to see if they have anything in common, but if you don't rock Brodie doesn't want you.
Stop looking pervy Achilles!
The sun sets on the Hot Tub Club. Brodie, I think you've missed your chance at trying to woo Mr. Paragon Barrett. He'll be stuck in there all night.
Yasmin tries to share her peace and love philosophy but Rocky wants no part in it.
She tries to cuddle with Angie, but still no love for Yasmin.
Awwww, wook at her wittle face!
Yasmin: Can I still stare at your boobs?
Angie: Sure, why not.
In case you were wondering what was going on with Calvin and Abbot...
I don't know if crushing on teens is legal in Oceanside Abbot Moulden!
Oh I see. Calvin is the instigator! I told you he was evil.
Even though she's dead tired, Brodie whips up a batch of Goopy Carbonara for all of her guests.
Oh come on!
OH COME ON!!!!
Brodie is ready to pass out. Even the espresso she's been chugging non-stop isn't working anymore. It's time for everyone to get the hell out!
I feel this is just the beginning of Abbot and Calvin.
Achilles: There's just so much potential in this house right now, I don't want to leave!
GET THE HELL OUT ACHILLES BROOK!
On to the next day...
Notes: Three new resident spots opened up with the construction of the Bank, Fire Station, and the Grocery Store community lots. However there was only one unoccupied condo. My theory is to move NPCs into the hood instead of creating new sims to fill the spots.With Brodie moving in another community lot is unlocked, the Post Office, and another resident spot opens up. I will only add more sims to the hood if there are empty previously occupied condos or there is a new residence/community lot (such as an orphanage) that can be built.
My original plan was to have Brodie give all of the NPCs make-overs in her salon chair but I became restless and wanted to do them in BodyShop instead. I didn't change any of their genetics, just styled their hair and did their make-up ^.^. I also didn't change the names they spawned with. I use Izza's Freakin' Gigantic Townie Name Replacement Mod! that has the coolest names on the planet.
Credits: Brodie is available for download here. I haven't packaged the other NPCs yet.
More of Brodie's escapades to come! Thanks for reading!
