"I have friends! I have friends!"
You're giving away the ending.
Meet the new kids. From left to Right: Ankita Sidhu, Oscar Merkel, Derrick Pugsly and Marjorie Kelly.
Personality Points & Aspirations:
Ankita - 4 Neat, 7 Outgoing, 4 Active, 0 Playful and 10 Nice. Knowledge.
Oscar - 4 Neat, 5 Outgoing, 0 Active, 10 Playful and 6 Nice. Popularity.
Derrick - 0 Neat, 10 Outgoing, 4 Active, 5 Playful, 6 Nice. Pleasure.
Marjorie - 10 Neat, 4 Outgoing, 8 Active, 3 Playful, 0 Nice. Knowledge. (I thought I had made her Fortune but I must have messed up somewhere!)
"I have friends!"
Shush, Buck!!!
Ankita and Buck have a great first convo.
Not so much for Derrick and Marjorie.
Oscar had gone to watch TV, so everyone joined in. My strategy for a successful challenge? Cooking show parties! My thinking was this: We all get to hang out and chat, and learn to cook. The upside to learning to cook? No fires, good food and cooking points. Sims of pretty much any aspiration will start to want to gain points of whatever skill they start building, right? So, therefore... aspiration points??
"And your theories were right!"
STOP GIVING AWAY THE ENDING BUCK!!!!
"............................ok......"
Ankita gets up from the party and goes to take a bath... in the utility tub outside! I had her pictured as being pretty demure but I guess not.
Right afterwards Derrick does the same thing. There's a shower upstairs, guys!
And later on Marjorie goes to clean it. Yay for Marjorie and her 10 cleaning points!
By this time, Buck had high friendship points with everyone but Derrick, as he was the only one that Buck had not had a focused conversation period with. So guess which guest goes to crash on Buck's bed? I don't want Buck sleeping on the floor somewhere!
So Buck made some food and did a "Call to meal" for the household. At this time I remembered that I gave Derrick this outfit for PJs, undies and swimwear. He does have 10 outgoing points after all! LOL
After eating, Derrick, the 0 Neat point sim, starts cleaning up dishes! These are some weird sims....
I learned I was obsessed with knowing where everyone was sleeping.
Marjorie had a tendancy to stay up late and then either crash on the loveseat in the TV room or just waited until a bed opened up. She spent her nights playing darts or drinking heavily
As soon as I went back into the house after finding out what the challenge was, I knew this would happen. Oscar didn't let me down.
"Only time it happened though!"
Miraculously, that's true.
After being woken up, Ankita and Derrick share a dance in their undies.
And then Derrick enjoyed a good sit in the front foyer. Dunno why...
Good grief, not another one!
Marjorie's lack of nice points shows up here. Buck's admiring her and she's accepting it but not very graciously!
She makes up for it by totally being the house mother, and feeding everyone and cleaning all the time.
Oscar's favourite pastime second only to watching TV... drinking! He also plays a lot of darts.
The crew spent some time fishing but Buck was the only one who seemed to really take to it. Wait, I'm lying, I caught Ankita fishing autonomously once.
Did everyone's messiest sim do this? Marjorie was not impressed.
Everyone's very proud of Buck for gaining reputation.
"I'm so popular..."
Shush!!
And another good cooking party.
Derrick, you're in the bathroom where the shower is! USE IT!
"Derrick's not here anymore *sob*.."
SHUSH!
And he spent a lot of the week doing this. I worried a lot about his aspiration score.
Ok, so.... something happened. Something... unexpected. I don't know if I mis-clicked, or what. But it happened. Here it is. Prepare yourself...
I'm wasn't so sure what to think of it either.
Buck becomes an artist!
And it's party time!
Buck has become a patron of the arts! The other wants in this panel are for a guitar and a piano. Who would have thought?
"You underestimated me. That hurts."
I'm sorry.
It's the final morning in the house.
Oscar's being lazy.
Buck says goodbye to Ankita.
And everyone leaves and leaves with NOTHING in their inventories!
But before the breakdown, let me show you Buck's secret.
Guess that hug meant more than I thought.
"I miss him."
Now, the breakdown.
Ankita left with 100/78 relationship and 5,250 aspiration points.
Derrick left with 100/98 relationship, is in LOVE with Buck and 4,000 aspiration points.
Marjorie left with 100/87 relationship and 6,750 aspiration points.
Oscar left with 100/81 relationship and .. wait for it... 19,500 aspiration points! His wants on the last day were to eat cereal, watch a movie and play darts... all of which were things he did a lot of. I can't imagine how else he would have gotten that many points.
So... my tricks to doing well? Having a spare bedroom and cooking show parties!
"Bye everyone!"
