I'm posting to LJ again, aaaaaaaand I'm using TS2. So basically, a two-for-one deal.
I've recently rejoined Boolprop forums and this is my attempt to get medals #desperate
So meet the founder of this challenge, Rowena Crowne. She's adorable. I wanted alien eyes but I forgot so now she's covered in makeup don't you judge me I will end you..
Rowena is a family sim, and this is her LTW - we're going to be here a while before we can get to that...
I should say, I really wanted to play in an apartment, but after she moved in I decided I didn't like the idea of her starting off in a nice little place on a clean side of town.
So this is where she lives now. It's much better for her, and when money comes in I have a perfect house already downloaded and ready to go. Is playing in an apartment against the rules? I mean it's impractical but surely not against the rules, right?
Well it's too late, we're here and we're staying now.
And you'd all like to see the apartment tour right? Tough luck you're getting it!
Look how easy this is already! We've been here five minutes and this guy named Clarence is Rowena's kind of guy. He lives in the apartment below so it's convenient.
Rowena: "I really like your ponytail"
Clarence: "Oh stop you"
*glares at screen, apologises again for my editing i am not used to fraps at all*
As there's no rules against jobs, Rowena got the first job which came up!
Advantage of living in this apartment block is that there's always music on for smustling. The disadvantage of living in this apartment block is that there's always music on for smustling.
Clarence comes over every day, which is building up the relationship nicely. Tick tock, we've not got all day here!
The best way to make friends with everyone in the apartment block is to serve food. Food always works and you're a fool to think otherwise.
As a backup, Rowena likes to paint. Just in case we need a bit of extra money coming in - it's always handy to have a skill like painting.
First and hopefully only date with Clarence!
Rowena: "I'm so sorry, I don't do this very often!"
Clarence: "It isn't obvious..."
You know, I feel bad about what Rowena has to do because these two are actually really cute together and if things were different they'd be married by now - ugh!
Nothing says 'we ran out of time' like crawling into bed alone after a date.
First day (night?) of work!
Two days, two promotions. I thought careers were supposed to be hard, Rowena you're making a fool of me here!
Ladies and gents, the challenge has begun.
I hate fireplaces, I can't get rid of the fireplace so I've improvised.
Oh, well would you look at that.
Baby #1 is on the way! Only 25 more to go!
I don't know if you guys know this about me, but I live for baby bumps in TS2. Also at this point the pictures shrink BECAUSE I SUCK AT FRAPS AND PHOTOSHOP I AM SORRY.
In an attempt to meet more people, Rowena threw a party. Clarence came with two other women. The idea was to meet men, you feel me?
Rowena's first pregnancy is pretty tough on her. It could be better, put it that way.
I don't know why I enjoy watching her work out whilst pregnant in her underwear, but I just do.
dat bump tho <3
And here they come!
It's a girl! Meet Amelia Crowne, baby #1 of 26.
This apartment has two rooms, admittedly they're very small but still better than everyone sleeping in the same room.
If necessary Rowena will take a sip every time she's had a kid, because she's a family sim she launches into platinum every time she even looks at Amelia.
Rowena: "I... am... ALIVE!"
She's a little cutie <3
Rowena's first day back at work, we need someone to look after Amelia and since I want to avoid nannies...
Well how else is he going to spend time with the daughter he hasn't acknowledged? This isn't against the rules, Rowena has no husband and nobody else can look after her! Don't you look at me like that.
Rowena THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE TRICKY STOP IT!
This looks so cosy, it's cold and snowing outside and Rowena is warm and cuddly inside with her newborn daughter and just ugh I have a lot of feelings for sims and their babies.
We're getting desperate so we spent a sizeable amount of money on a date, the money we have though is nowhere near enough for anything decent. So meet this elderly repairman.
Well that was the end of that, it lasted all of three seconds.
I wish Amelia was older so they could play together in the snow, there's always next sim-year!
Amelia grew up into a teeny tiny little cutie pie!
All hail a quiet moment where these two can eat breakfast together in peace!
All that happens is Rowena tries to keep Amelia in platinum, and tries to find baby daddy #2 at the same time. It's not going very well at all, everyone she speaks to rejects her!
In a desperate attempt to meet more men, I placed an order for groceries.
THEY SENT A WOMAN ARE YOU SERIOUS BELLADONNA COVE. DO YOU HAVE ANY MEN AT ALL I STG.
So we have $142 left, the rent is due on the following Monday. Rowena has two days off work and only makes $450, which by the time she goes back to work on Saturday means 2x days of $450 - $900. $900+$142 is $1042, the rent is $1900. We don't need maths to know we're screwed. I HAVE TO SELL EVERYTHING PRETTY OH GOD.
And she's half way to elder AGAIN so we have to drink this AGAIN. Seriously was this challenge this hard for everyone else? Is it just me?
In better news though, another guy moved into the apartment across the hall! He also rejected Rowena...
And whilst I was desperately trying to get Rowena to flirt with the old man across the hall, Amelia grew up!
She's sooooooo cute! I'm so happy for you Amelia, congrats on being born!
Now she's old enough, it's so much easier to go out and meet guys.
*takes amelia to child friendly community lot, is a good parent*
Rowena met a witch, banking this for future reference because I want her to be a sparkly witch!
LOOK AT ALL THE MEN! MEN EVERYWHERE!
OH COME ON ARE YOU SERIOUS, I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS SHIT ANYMORE.
Rowena: "Please, I'm desperate"
Matchmaker: "Don't expect miracles"
You think this is a good thing, right? Wrong! He left after five minutes. Can I leave and go home too?
First day of school for the first baby! I'm so proud.
Last chance attempt to meet a guy before I go insane.
Man the battlestations, someone who accepted a flirting action! WE HAVE A LIVE ONE, GO GO GOOOOO!
YES, FINALLY!
So I don't think Amelia is best pleased with Rowena's actions. Well kid, get used to it. We'll fix that later.
I'm going to leave it here because this is a victory. Come back next time for (hopefully) more babies and less drama! I'll count up the points if when I finish the challenge. Leave a comment if you liked it and as always, suggestions and tips are more than welcome! I PROMISE THAT I WILL FIX THE IMAGES TO MAKE THEM BIGGER BECAUSE I AM STILL LEARNING IN PHOTOSHOP THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!
