A little too independent ...

So, Mirelly, I'm curious, did you have to chat with the HM first?

Ho-hope. LOL. I assume you meant no-hope but the Freudian is funnier!

Seafood. Snort. You're treading in dangerous waters.

Speaking of that, I haven't read anything from our fishy friend lately. Makes me wonder if he's out there lurking somewhere, like Jaws ...

 

Could it be possible that certain lots are cursed by gnome thieves? When Manifest invited her BF over, he brought a friend, who turned out to be Mitch the Deliveryman, and Mitch promptly walked over and stole her last gnome, while she and the BF both were shouting and pointing at him!
I'm now losing every gnome I buy.

 

I never keep gnomes. Someone always steals them so I'm always buying new ones. Ischade just went and stole back one that she lost a few days ago, and so now she has two evil green gnomes in Hawaiian shirts ...

 

I was economical with the facts. I tried to do two things at once. I threw a birthday party for a kid to become a teen at the same moment as an anniversay party was winding up and the wrinklies were staggering homeward with bellies full of malted cocoa and seed-cake, it seemed a waste of time to let the house hum to a load of spotty oiks so I got mom to invite the HM so little'un could enjoy the privileges of the prep-school life ...

When the HM rolled up his visitation meter kinda cancelled out the ongoing teen party meter. No problemo ... I just stuffed the salmon in the bin, decided that touring was gonna be a 'mare with odd bits of pizza and empty chip wrappers all over the shop, so I just treated him like any other visitor and pushed him up against a wall and talked him to death. If the sim doing the talking is a fun kinda sim then the smooch points come with the HM's enjoyment of the conversation. Towards the end it looked like I wasn't get enough points so I dragged granny outa bed to cook up some pork chops and the dinner scored 30 odd points towards my grand total of 121 ... I reckon I'd have got to 90 just on smooch if I hadn't broken off to drag the old fossil halfway across the lot to eat some dead pig

 

LOL ... you are forbidden to edit from now on because the long version is just too entertaining! I'm still laughing.

 

Well, I made my Dagraski family--just a bunch of grouchy louts:
Allen, a mean old business sim.
Lisa, adult daughter of Allen. Her rich fiance was brought to the Scarlet Valley Mental Hospital a month ago; in that small timespan, her family had hit rock bottom, and they were moved to a small compound consisting of cement blocks.
Cory, lazy teen son of Lisa. He's got a job as a Street Hawker, but would rather spend all day watching TV and stuffing his cheeks with Trix (there's some personal experience there)
Francesca, who I, personally, pity. She's a happy, cheerful little toddler that was accidentally adopted by Lisa when she dialed the wrong number. I don't think her sweet disposition will last to adulthood if she isn't abandone by the Dagraski's and found by an old couple whose children have all left for college. Wow, that was amazingly specific.
Xuaxeg used to live in Hawaii, and was formerly a hula dance intructor. He was exiled from his homeland for hitting on one of his pupils. Which is much more creepy than you think, because he worked in a Retiring Home. After being shipped to the mainland, he snuck into the Dagraski's trailer home. Nobody complained because he had made pancakes for breakfast the next morning.

In only 5 simdays, there were 3 fires, 4 burnt meals, 2 visits of the therapist, and 1 unforeseen birth. Yeah, you're probably wondering about that one, huh? Well, thanks to jase439 at MTS2, Lisa experienced all three trimesters and labor in the span of 5 minutes! Scarily enough, the father is Xuaxeg.

No, I am not exaggerating.

 

OHMG LOL!!! 123 THANKS. I was so bored today. That was (expletive) hilarious. I can't say what made me laugh harder, the accidentally dialed number or the retirement community teacher ...

Oh, I just remembered what it was: the "amazingly specific." You are much funnier than TV, girl. I gave up on that wasteland ages ago.

Hee hee ... still laughing.

 

It seriously was an accident. I was about to click on the repairman, but then some inferno twitch of my hand caused my finger to slip. That twitch has caused many embarassing situations in the past.

 

Yeah that's a common fault of mine ... mostly I love those misclicken moments though I still play with the US keboard settings because then the ` key pauses the game as well as the P except that `123 are conveniently next to each other and are all left hand keys. I must be getting very old and slow tho because I still get tied up in knots trying to sort out my @ from my " which are transposed

I was amused today by a Star Trek style dream incident. Indiana had been invited over to visit with his fiance who had just graduated. Needless to say she was feeling all broody and wanted to start a baby ...

As they drifted off to sleep to the sounds of the lullaby it occurred to me that Indi was still a fresher ... time I pledged him to the frat-with-the-mosted and motored him thru to some lambskin of his own. This morning I loaded up the old hood and there he was in the sim-bin so I dropped him in the Toussaint household (where he was still aseepin ) and then opened up the house and there he was still dreaming of kicky ball and jolly japes with a butane match under the sprinklers in the dorm cafeteria and then he woke and found he was all growed up with "RESPONSIBILITIES" ... right, I am orf to bed to have a nightmare. :(

 

What a thing to do to a guy!

 

My new Fishy Family



Meet the Pescado family. Baby Catherine, JM, Granny Corrine, Mom Mirelly, and teenager Jason. JM and Mirelly are siblings. (Sorry, Mirelly LMAO!)




Now we see where JM gets his pointing and laughing. . .I honestly had never seen this behavior in a sim before! LOL




The concrete bunker. Notice that everyone is sleeping except little Catherine. I have her building some much-needed Charisma skills.



Poor Rico is trying to make friends with JM thought the bunny. Jason is wating for Rico to die.

 

Kris, I'm rollin' on the floor. Never occured to me to put people I've met here, in my game.

 

LOL, I pity Catherine very, very much. Have you seen real pictures of Fishman and Mirelly?
And that is a very large bunker. The compound I made for the Dagraski's is much smaller, and much more depressing, although I did paint the walls a stark white.

EDIT:Anyway, some news on the Dagraski's:

Lisa is now in the Law Enforcement career, and is rapidly making her way to the top of the ladder--this time it wasn't accidental. Francesca has grown into a lovely little girl, with long flaxen braids, sapphire blue eyes, and lips the color of the sunset. I'll probably dump 50 lb. of black make up on her as soon as she turns into a teen. Cory got fired, but isn't too upset about it--more time for SSX3! Allen is same old, same old: doing half-hearted jumping jacks in front of the boombox in an attempt to discard of his strange displacement of belly fat. Xuaxeg has started trying to flirt with Lisa, but she runs away screaming because she's afraid that physical contact with him will impregnate her again. And little Katie, the half human, half Xuaxeg hybrid, has grown into a larger, toddler-sized bouncing bundle of discord and misery.

 

Nope. I've seen screeshots of Sims that they made of themselves, but I didn't really even make them from that. (Though I did remember Mirelly's dark hair and glasses on her sim.) I did try to make their personalities similar to the personalities they show online.

 

<begins to worry and to burble> ... there's a strange doctor here and I think I'm the only who can see him ....
<throws hands in air in runs around making incoherent scream>

...

Knowing the way my luck's been running my hands land in the next county ....

Good one Kristal. It's more like me than me and that's too too too

 

Finally I have some good pictures:

Here's a close up of Lisa:



Allen and Katie (what a touching site--however, he was actually taking her out of her crib, where she had been peacefully sleeping, to shove a bottle into her mouth.



Xuaxeg. Notice Lisa's facial expression when seeing him: revile, disgust, horror, abhorrence, nausea, repugnance...



Cory:



Lovely little Francesca. I really admire her. She's smiling AFTER she comes back from school, rather than before, at the thought of leaving her revolting family for 7 hours.



Fire #1:



Fire #2:



Fire #3:



Xuaxeg's nightmares. I'm surprised he isn't dreaming about Lisa:



Anybody else have this problem? Her teeth polygons are clipping through her chin:




Wait. How'd that get in here? Well, a glimpse into my morbid mind. It's actually a doodle I found in my math notebook from 6th grade.

 

I'm assuming that doodle is a hint of what you want to do to some of your Sims...

 

Of course not! If you noticed, it says 'Kevin'. Kevin is, well, used to be one of my good friends. Unfortunately, he started being a real prat because he was the only one in our Gifted & Talented group that could act well, and our teacher always complimented him. It all went to his head, and so now I give him the cold shoulder, and draw gruesome deaths for him.

 

Ahh...ok. :happy:

There's always the "make a Kevin Sim and feed him to the plant" scenario...

 

There's nothing I'd like to do more than that, but unfortunately I don't have University, and therefore don't have the Cow plant. However, I can still kill him repeatedly by not saving.
