2. Since it’s summer and I don’t have much else to do, I decided to try my hand at an OWBC. Here are the bonuses and mini-challenges I’m attempting. (Keyword attempting.) -Base Game -Nightlife -Apartment Life -BoolProp Naming Scheme -One Bad Apple -The Golden Trio -Beyond Cheesy -Family Scrapbook -MOAR Aliens -Monster Mash This is starting off in college. I’m not keeping the rules right now, mostly because I didn’t go into it thinking I’d do an OWBC. I changed my mind later. Without further to do, let’s meet the household. --->
3. Janna Granger, my foundress-to-be. She’s an Aries—7/9/4/4/5. She’s currently a Family/Pleasure sim with the LTW want to become Education Minister.
4. Catherine Granger, Janna’s older sister. She’s Pleasure/Family, wants 50 Dream Dates, and is a Cancer—6/4/4/4/6.
5. Delano Granger, Janna’s alien half-sibling. He’s a Popularity/Pleasure Virgo—10/1/10/3/10. He wants 20 Best Friends. He’s the “spare” I’ll be playing along for the Apartment Life Bonus.
6. Stella Terrano, from the college sim bin. She’s a Knowledge sim and wants to Max 7 Skills. She’s a Cancer—7/2/6/4/6.
7. Gordon Nott, BV townie friend of Janna. He goes by G. He’s a Family sim. Aquarius—1/4/5/7/6. He wants to Have 6 Grandchildren.
8. And finally, Shelia Gentry, childhood friend of Delano. She’s a Romance/Pleasure Gemini—4/6/7/3/3. She wants to become a Rock God.
9. The first thing everyone does when they’re dumped on the lot is hit the poker table. I have a feeling that the “Don’t Wake the Llama” table isn’t going to get as much attention.
10. Yeah, yeah, I know it was seen from a mile away but my founder needs a spouse and G will give us genetic diversity.
12. Ah, I knew you’d get along well too! By now you’re probably wondering if I can get more predictable. Most likely.
13. Yeah, that’s why you don’t burn the Pop-Tart, Del. How do you even do that? I think he gagged like five times.
14. I know this hasn’t been very spontaneous, but it will get there, I promise. Just got to get past the boring stuff first.
15. Oh crud. Del went to class and left the spaghetti on the stove, and naturally I forgot to put in a fire alarm. Ahhh….
16. Whew, thank you G. Let’s just hope you’ll be as helpful back on our main lot after this.
17. I decided that since I’m going to do the Bad Apple & Beyond Cheesy bonuses that I want a Servo in the house. So Janna gets to slave away at the bench instead of making out with her boyfriend.
18. I have no idea why this made me laugh so hard. Shelia answered the phone. It was for Catherine, so I said, yeah, she was available but then realized she was in bed, so assumed that the caller would eventually hang up. Then Delano came and answered it again. See, it’s not even that funny, but I just stared at the screen and laughed for five minutes straight.
34. G came back from campus at 3 AM to deliver the Greek House letter besides the entrance to the girls’ bathroom. Not the most conventional place, but I suppose it will do.
35. Shoot, it’s almost time for final exams. What do they think they came to school for, an education?
36. They somehow passed their classes, so Shelia threw their first (and only, I just realized) toga party. Janna, with her 9 outgoing points, spun into PJs….
37. And Delano with his one outgoing point into this. That’s something new.
41. Aw, man, I knew I should’ve sent the cow mascot away. He just tried the wolf whistle G, so….
42. Bad memories all around! Hooray! Geez, now I have to try and patch this back up.
43. O_o ….Despite how my sims may not favor that idea. If I was that cow, I’d watch my back.
44. That’s very nice of you to autonoumsly “Cheer Up” Shelia, Delano, but I think your sister needs it more. (Shelia was in the gold when he did this.... I don’t understand.)
45. I decided that even my founder is going to be a Grilled Cheese sim. Janna’s aspiration was low enough, for obvious reasons.
46. The first want she rolled was to make grilled cheese for G. :( However, if he doesn’t like Grilled Cheese, it isn’t worth trying to get them back together at this point….
47. He really is her perfect match! Congratulations, G, you get your girl back. He’s been frowning for days because she hasn’t been nearly as receptive to him as usual lately….
48. So a quick and temporary aspiration change is in order for G, so he can do this….
49. Hooray! Thank you, FreeTime! I changed him back to a Family sim a few days after this. He fit that aspiration much better.
50. Oh, great. One thing fixed, another problem created. The CleanBot is going off and everyone’s asleep.
52. Okay, maybe I understand the cow mascot more now. If your mom cut your hair like that, wouldn’t you act like a jerk and hide behind a foam mask? But still, get your filthy butt out of the bed.
65. Then, of course, things get crazy again. As you can see, Stella is suffering from the condition known as chess elbow. And she wants to get struck by lightning, so I’m hoping if this happens that it’ll cure her….
75. And since college is more than halfway over, Catherine proposes to her boyfriend as well. Shelia doesn’t propose, of course, since she’s a Romance sim.
90. Another fad courtesy of G is the Chest Pound. Every morning they flood each other’s rooms and greet each other with it. And they do it every time they come back from class with someone.
93. Even though you stay in the background most of the time, Catherine, you’re still awesome.
94. Janna finally got the next lifetime benefits point to unlock “conjure grilled cheese”. This is going to make my life lots easier.
95. If you’re an only child and have ever wondered what it’s like to have a sibling, this picture pretty much sums it up.
96. Aww, man! Who left the TV dinner in the oven to go to final exams?! Now they’re all gone, and of course I didn’t learn my lesson from the incident at the beginning of college and install a fire alarm….
97. Catherine was the first back since she’s ahead an hour for some reason. I managed to peel her away from freaking out to call the firemen. By this point, it was raging so hard that another fireman came running out after Mitch Lawson from the firetruck. Never seen that before.
98. The next morning I had to buy like three new mirrors because, I swear, everyone and their dog needed a charisma skill point for the final semester.
106. More and more each day I appreciate this self-interaction..
107. When I had Catherine greet Roxanne the last day of college, she immediately performed the Chest Pound. I knew I made a good decision with this one.
108. Stella rolled the want for a Womrat cage and I love the little things, so I couldn’t say no. Although the way it’s been going, you would think Janna was the one that rolled the want.
109. And Roxanne has graduated from a pledge to a full member of the household….
