The Black Widow...Part 4: Landgraab IV

2007-07-24T05:34:00.000-07:00

Ah!!! Oh no! Paige, quick...call the fire department! Hurry!

Shhh...Ms. Shaunna, I will call them...just give me a minute. I am a bit stunned that Gilbert started this fire so quickly and I really wanna watch...

Oh, yeah, sorry...I forgot what we talked about last time.

Oh Paige! This is awful *covers eyes*...will you call now?

*exagerated sigh* Relax! I am calling...sheesh!

Oh no...we were too late.

That was the idea...altho I am kind of annoyed he didn't stick around long enough to see me thru this pregnancy!

Your beautiful new kitchen is in shambles...where are we going to get the money to remodel it...again?

You worry too much Ms. Shaunna. I have a plan...but as soon as I get this cleaned up we get to celebrate the boys birthdays!

Bradley Fairchild

******

Relaxing I see? Wait a minute...you had the baby...and you changed your look again?

Yes, yes, and yes *giggle*.

I had Gilbert's baby...another boy, little Gary Jacquet. Bradley's help has been invaluable...

...it allowed me to get out and date again. I have had my eye on someone in particular...

Armando? I really am hoping to get to know him.

No, not Armando...not yet anyway. The guy I have been trying to lure into my web *snicker* is none other than the notoriously wealthy Malcolm Landgraab IV.

Looks like you accomplished your goal. What did he bring with him?

All he had in his inventory were the deeds to his two businesses which I plan to have him sell...or turn over to me...haven't decided yet. As for simoleans, he brought a healthy 28,000 with him. More than enough to fix up the kitchen.

Sounds like he was an easy target.

He wasn't too hard to coerce...and not a moment too soon as something has started to happen at night...that's kinda scaring me.

What's that?

*gulp* Ghosts!

Well that is par for the course my dear...

I know, but...they have been relentless! Colby has left us alone for the most part, but Gilbert and BJ have made nightly appearances!

Well, then I am glad you have Mal to comfort you. Speaking of Mal, now that you two are married, how has he been fitting in with the family?

Just great, tho he is not the best cook.

And he is struggling like Gilbert did with caring for the baby on his own.

But the kids grow so fast it is not really a bother.

Plus he will be getting more practice soon as I am pregnant again! That is if he can hang around long enough to meet his child...

You aren't planning anything are you? What are you up to this time Paige?

I am not up to anything Ms. Shaunna...my husbands die from their own mistakes. I love them all and would never hurt them intentionally. Tho Mal better be careful...

...my deceased husbands seem to prefer scaring him!

Well, keep an eye on him *w*, and we will talk again soon.

The Black Widow...Part 3: Jacquet

2007-07-12T06:36:00.000-07:00

Paige! I am so glad I found you! You look great btw...I love the new look, but I have been so worried about Colby.
Thanks, I love these earings...why are you worried about him?
Um...well, the last time I saw him he was practically frozen solid!
Oh, that...well he made it thru the winter, but his love of the outdoors didn't end when spring rolled around...

He was out taking care of the garden when the hail started...
Ouch! Is he okay?
Actually, no...he was bludgeoned to death...

Paige! Really? That is awful!
Nah, I'm over it. He was starting to annoy me anyway.
But you two just got married, and your son?
Oh, Conor is great, and so is Bradley.

Conor

Bradley

They are growing so fast!
Wow! They are adorable, you must be proud. Tho I bet they have to be a handful without Colby around.
Not to worry Ms. Shaunna, I met someone.
How did I know you were going to say that? This someone doesn't happen to be the fabulous Armando we met last time does it?

No, but he is cute...I had forgotten about him...I should call him...Armando...
Later, first tell me who this someone is.

Gilbert Jacquet...a hopeless romantic, like myself.
Oh, I know him! He is from Bluewater Village...runs that bakery with his mother.
That's him! Tho I made him dye his hair back to it's original color. I am not sure why that man would want to dye his hair black.
Um, Paige...you should talk...you change your look, alot!
Yeah, but he is much better as a blonde...check it out!

I have to agree. He is pretty handsome.
But he is not as good with the kids as Colby was...

*giggling* He'll learn. So are you two getting serious then?
Uh huh...when I turned up pregnant again he popped the question as soon as I told him.

That's nice! Congrats! Are you two going to have a wedding?
Nah, we just had a quick ring ceremony.

Don't get me wrong, I want a real wedding someday, but there is no way I would fit into my dream dress pregnant.
'Someday' Paige? You married Gilbert...till death do you part...that could be a while.
Pfft! *snickering* Not likely Ms. Shaunna.
Ah, I think you are getting the hang of this Black Widow thing.
Me? Your the one who is all weepy when my husbands die...your all "oh no! I'm so sorry!". It is nothing short of comical.
*blushing* Sorry Paige...this is all kind of new to me. So in the spirit of BW...what did Gilbert bring with him?
He didn't really bring much aside from his bakery...which I made him sell to his mother for a handsome 65,000 simoleans.
Awesome! I bet you put that money to good use.
Yup, I was able to remodel a bit more...

Entry

Living room

The living room is done...in purple of course.

Dining Room

Kitchen

The kitchen and dining room are also coming along nicely. Tho Gilbert is an awful cook...he better be careful or he will set the whole place on fire!

I can see that. It looks really good, what else did you do with the money?
Went shopping of course!

Gilbert's friend Jeannie called to invite me out and I couldn't say no. I love getting new stuff!

And I kicked her butt at pool...took her for 150 simoleans *snickering* who knew I was so good!? *contemplating* I should get a pool table for the house.

Well, good luck with Gilbert, we will catch up with you later...I can't wait to see that new little one!

The Black Widow...Pt. 2: Platz

2007-07-01T18:32:00.000-07:00

Hey Ms. Shaunna! There you are.

What are you up to? How is BJ and little Bradley?

Oh, their fine...well Bradley is...BJ um, locked himself in what was supposed to be Bradley's nursery and um...

...I thought he had kinda gone crazy or something. So I thought it best to just leave him alone in there.

Yeah, maybe your right...he hasn't come out at all?

Nope...and do NOT go in there. The room has taken on some funky odor and it's just wrong...we will have to hire someone to clean it or something.

Well, with BJ locked up what have you been doing.

That's what I wanted to tell you...

...I met this really cute guy...he is nice *whispering* I think he has money.

But what about BJ? Can't we help him?

Well...actually...

What happened Paige??

BJ died...I was heartbroken.

I really thought that he was the one for me...

...but it seems fate had other plans. *snickering*

I am so sorry for your loss! I would have never let this happen, if only you'd told me sooner...

No worries Ms. Shaunna. Remember that cute guy I was telling you about...you know the one with money.

Does he have a name?

Oh yeah...sorry, his name is Colby Platz, and he's moved in.

Check out all the stuff he brought me! And he had 13,000 simoleans.

AND he has a job! His first day of work he brought home a 25,000 simolean bonus!

Paige is that you?

Who'd you think it was? I just got my hair done, and was able to buy some new clothes...

And that room behind you, is that your room?

Oh yeah, just something that was important to get finished with all of the money I know have in the bank.

Little Bradley is growing fast.

He is adorable, but back to you and this Colby character are you two serious? I mean, are you getting married so soon after BJ's death?

Pfft! I'm over it.

I can see that. *giggle*

We got married kinda quick...and before long...

Another little one on the way huh?

Yup. Colby is so excited, he loves kids and is a real family man.

So have you remodled the house yet, can we show it off?

It's not done quite yet, but I promise to give a full tour when I'm happy with it.

Paige? What are you doing?

La la la! Dah dum dah dah!

Paige?

Huh, oh heh, crap...you saw that?

Seems like you need to meet someone new. Being couped up in the house has not been good to your mental state...don't want to end up like poor ole BJ.

That's better. Who's your friend Paige?

Armando Beaty, isn't he cute?

Your a married, and pregnant woman...you have no time for cute.

Actually I had the baby! Another son, Conor Platz.

I left little Conor with his daddy and went out on the town with Armando. Don't you just love to say that name...Armando...Arman...

Paige! Pay attention here we are almost thru this update. Regardless of this Armando things between you and Colby are going well.

Well...

What is it this time? He didn't lock himself in the nursery too did he?

No...he's just not being as helpful as he once was. I had to fix the sink! Me! I shouldn't have to do that kind of thing! Sheesh...men.

So where was Colby?

I dunno, outside building a stinkin snowman. I tell you that man is gonna freeze to death if he is not careful!

The Black Widow...Part 1: Fairchild

2007-06-29T06:07:00.000-07:00

Hey there Paige. What are you doing here? I thought this was my Black Widow challenge...

Duh, it IS and I'm her! Don't you remember? I offered to help by becoming your Black Widow...*rolling her eyes at me* seriously Ms. Shaunna, you haven't truly played until youv'e tortured a few sims.

Oh, I remember now, thanks girl. Must be why you look so diffrent...Well, then let's get to it. I built you a house, but I forgot the picture of it.

Well, I can tell you right now that your readers aren't missing much.

Yeah, sorry about that. Your going to have to meet a wealthy sim and get me a few more simoleans before I can help you with that one. Since we are at it, why not check out the inside...

Okay, really, your joking. This place is awful!

It'll get better, I promise. Now *rubs hands together* shall we get started?

I'm hungry.

Yes, I'll have a pint of orange chicken, steamed rice...

Okay, this is going to take a while...*taps foot*

Ooo! Paige look! The delivery guy is cute. This might not be such a waste of time after all! Paige...Paige? *looks around* Where'd that girl get to...?

*chewing*

Paige!!?? You let him get away! Darn it all. Call him...get him back over here. You are supposed to be the Black Widow.

*nodding* Chill, I will, as soon as I am done with my lunch.

Oh, Ms. Shaunna, you were right, he is kinda cute...and he seems to like me too...this should be a sinch. *grinning mischeviously*

Aww, you two are adorable together...now let's get you hitched...

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. BJ Fairchild!

So Paige, tell me a little about your new hubby. How much money did he bring us? What kind of neat stuff does he have in his inventory?

Don't even get me started. How could you let me make such a mistake?

Me? I...what do you mean?

He brought nothing!? A measley 575$ and not a thing in his inventory...can I get rid of him now?

Well, I kinda need you to have his baby first. Sorry hon, you know the rules.

*sigh* Fine, but let's make this quick.

Wow! That was quick.

Can't...talk...now...dying...*groan*

Awww!!! Look at him! What should we name him? How about Bradley? He looks just like his momma. He is perfect Paige...but where did BJ go, doesn't he want to meet his son?

Oh, well...you said I had to have his baby...so I sent him to work on the nursery for Bradley, only I forgot that the lock was broken...

...and I think I forgot that he was in there...*snickering*...but we can talk about that later. For now I want to spend some time with my son.

ISBI: Generation Two (Part One)

2007-06-15T07:23:00.001-07:00

To celebrate the second generation of Isbee's in Ten Flames Province, and to accomidate the growing family, Lou and I both feel that it is time for a new home. The new house is actually a home I built to replicate a home purchased by a RL friend and coworker *waves to Terese*.

Now let's see what Lou and the family have been up to. Hi there Louis. How are things?

Oh, hi grams! Mom told me you'd come looking for me sooner or later. Things are...pretty good. I mean, a guy can't complain with a beautiful wife, and...
Whoa! Lou, your getting ahead of yourself. Start from the begining. The readers only know what has happened to you through college.
Sorry about that, there's just so much to tell!
Just start from the begining.
Well, when I first got back from school I got married to Shanna. You do remember Shanna?

I do, she's lovely honey. But what's with her wedding dress choice?
Ermm...I'm not so into that fashion stuff, but I thought she looked hot.
Well, then that is all that matters. How are your parents?

Oh, theyr'e doing okay I guess, they get around still. Mom's had some promotions...

Dad reached TOC thanks to some training.

I even reached my first TOC relativly easily.

****

So life was moving right along. What about Shanna, how did she get along with the family, did you two get ot work on an heiress right away?
Well, at first, she was hesitant around dad...he is a really...um, friendly guy.

But they grew on eachother.

But we sure did...get working on the second generation that is. Soon my darling wife was expecting.

She got kinda tired, and hungry, and moped around alot through her pregnancy. I did everything I could, but really there was nothing I could do.

It felt like forever, but it was finally time for Shanna to give birth. And of all people to be there, mom was right with her. Their bond only grew from there.

We had a daughter and named her Jocelyn. She is a stinker who seems to take after her mother, but she has her grandfather's eyes.
Awww! She is adorable, congratulations. How are you finding fatherhood?
Honestly? It is running me ragged. I pretty much take care of everything...I am not sure why, but Shanna insisted on going back to work right after Joce yas born.

Things were easier when she was smaller. Just fed her, changed her nappy, and gave her all the love I had. But as soon as she grew a bit she got busy!

****

Wow, sure sounds like things are on track and going well! I am really proud of you, we already have our heiress, and our first non controllable sim reached TOC.
Non controlla what now?
Nothing honey, just got carried away is all. So is there anything else you want to tell your readers before we let you get back to that busy family?
Well, yeah...

Shanna's expecting again.
Oh no, are you ready for that? You didn't have to have any more children...Jocelyn will make a marvelous heiress.
I know, but I just got these urges all of a sudden, and one thing led to another...
I knew it...stinkin ACR!
AC wha?
Nevermind. Thanks for sharing Lou, we will catch up with you later. And it looks like youv'e got your work cut out for you!

ISBI: Generation Two (University)

2007-05-22T06:32:00.000-07:00

Well, I have successfully made it through one generation of idiots, and am about to brave my second. This generation, our guide is Louis Isbee, named for my RL grandfather, I will call him Lou. Let's see what he got up to at uni.

This little place is where he spent his four uni years. Afforded by combining Lou and his sister Chami's scholarships, the little house wasn't much, but it was home away from home.

Chamile Isbee
Romance - LTW - Woohoo with 20 sims
(Forgot to note star sign) 7 neat, 10 outgoing, 2 lazy, 3 serious, 4 grouchy

And since I mentioned her, I thought I would give you a look at Chami as a young adult. Since she is not the focus of the challenge, we won't see much of her, but not to worry...I have a plan for this cutie.

Louis Isbee

Pleasure - LTW - 50 Dream Dates

Libra - 6 neat, 10 outgoing, 4 lazy, 7 playful, 9 nice

Now there's the man of the hour! Our second generation torch holder himself. And with his main desire in life to have 50 dream dates, he spent much of his time at uni dating, and trying to find Mrs. Right.

He had several dates, but nothing that really went great...and definitly no dream dates. This process was not working for Lou. And it was taking too much time. He needed to find Mrs. Right as soon as possible so he could focus on his skilling and studying.

Although, if the date was exceptionaly bad, Lou found a way to get something out of it. He would suck skills from the duds. He had to get something out of the time he had spent with them!

So as soon as he could afford it he decided he would get straight to the point and have the matchmaker make him a match.

The lucky gal was Shanna Tan.

The two had an awesome first date...a dream date in fact!

***Players note: I was able to change Shanna's look completely without having to select her by using the makeover mirror and the clothing rack hack that allows neighbors to buy and change clothing.***

And not that she wasn't stunning to begin with, here is Shanna post makeover. Oh, oops...notice that ring on her finger, well...

Smitten by Shanna, Lou propossed and she accepted!!!

***********

Getting down to business, here are a few of Lous accomplishments prior to graduation...

He managed to max all of his skills through a variety of means...

A little harmless skill sucking.

Some eggplangt juice thanks to the juicer and pre grown eggpplants gifted to him from his mom when she passed the torch.

And of course a little of it was done the old fashioned way.

He also got a gold badge in robotics.

He became a member of the Landgraab Secret Society.

He had 10 magical dream dates with Shanna.

*****

He also became BSOC...but I must have forgotten the pic...?

*****

At the end of it all, he graduated Suma Cum Laude with a degree in art.

Lou didn't throw himself a party (which is kind of outt of character for him), so we will catch up with him back in Ten Flames Province.

******

You may be wondering what became of Chami...

After uni, she said goodbye to her family, packed her belongings, and headed for a new life as a townie in Rose Island. Check there for more of Chami in the future...

ISBI: Generation One (Part Two)

2007-05-10T09:57:00.000-07:00

After a nap and a cup of espresso, we settle back down with Imogen so she can finish her tale as torch holder.

Now where was I?

You left off leaving our readers hanging...you were pregnant with you second baby and we all had our fingers crossed that it would be the male heir you needed to pass the torch to.

Ah yes, we were preparing for baby number two and I am pleased to say that I did have a son we named him Louis, but I call him Lou.

He is a doll! And I am thrilled that you got your boy without having to have a third.

Come on mom, you know me. I would have welcomed a third. Matter of fact I had that want from the moment that Lou was born to the moment I grew too old to bear children...but I am getting ahead of myself.

Lou was a charmer and he and his dad were like peas in a pod. I have to say that I couldn't have asked for a better husband and father than what I got when I married Quent.

I am so glad that you were able to find happiness honey. Now tell us more about this heir...

Well, he seemed a bit agressive as a baby. So I was a bit worried about his nice points to be honest, but such is life...I can't decide how nice I want him to be, but I can encourage him, and that I did!

Was there any other interesting occurences in the second half of you time as torch holder?

Actually, yes. I finally found time to get the garden into tip top shape, and wound up with my very own wishing well...take a look for yourself...

The house looks beautiful, and that wishing well should come in handy for future generations!

As you may expect we had some birthdays...first my lovely daughter Chamile became a teen.

Next it was my baby boy and future heir's turn.

I hate to say that we fell into a fairly simple routine after that.

Well, that's not always a bad thing.

Quent gained a few pounds, but I love him just the same. He was not getting his promotions at work though, so I made sure he skilled at every opportunity.

But it was a slow go, that is until I reached my LTW but achieving TOC in education. I immediately went to work in the medical field so that I could get the equipment I needed to help my dear hubby get a promotion!

And then, it was time for my little boy to become a teen, my lovely daughter was headed off to university, and that meant that it was time for both Quentin and I to enter our golden years.

Bummer! Looks like we won't get to see the heart undies any longer.

Yeah, well, you will see enough of these to get your fill I asure you.

I had only a few short days left until I would have to pass the torch on to Lou, but I managed to squeeze in a few skill building sessions with Quent, and he finally got that promotion we were after!

*****************

With that the time came for me to pass the torch.

I explained everything to Lou and gifted him a few things that I had collected through my time as torch holder that might aide him.

After that all I could do was wish him luck and let him know I would be there for him...and that YOU would be there for him too.

Awww! Im I am gonna miss you girl. You were an awesome first torch holder!

He is off at university now, and I am sure he will be thrilled to tell you all about his experiences.

ISBI: Generation One (Part One)

2007-04-30T09:10:00.000-07:00

Well, Imogen, I hate to say it, but your time as torchholder has come to an end. I know that it seems, to our readers, that you should be just settling in, actually you've lived your time as our torch holder and are here to tell us about it.

That's right mom. I have lived a very full life to this point, and look forward to kicking back and relaxing...and hopefully getting a grandbaby or two of my own!

Sounds great Im. Why don't you tell us all about your time as torch holder?

Oh my...it was interesting to say the least! But I will start at the begining...right after I graduated from university.

Well!, look how young I was! Anyway, after uni I moved back to Ten Flames Province. The house was modest, but it was what I could afford at the time.

As you may know, I was engaged to Quentin at the time and the first thing I wanted to do was get married to him. The cremony was small...just the two of us and a friend of ours from uni. But it was special.

So, tell us a bit more about Quentin. I feel like I hardly know the man that swept my daughter off her feet!

To be honest, I did not know much about him back then either. Over the years alot more has become clear. To start with, my Quent is a fortune sim. The first thing he did after we were married was to get a job...in fact he took the first one that came up! His job was in gaming and he started out as a flag capturer.

(The player's one command with Quentin for his adult life was to get him a job. He rolled a 1 and therefore took the first job that appeared)

He was also a very loving and attentive husband in those early days. I too had taken a job and was teaching grade school....a stressful thing. I could always count on Quent to cheer me up after a hard day.

But my husband is not without his quirks. As loving and helpful as he is, he spends far too much time in his heart print boxer shorts.

The man does EVERYTHING in them...and I do mean everything *w*.

Careful Im, this blog is supposed to be PG, but I think we know what your getting at *chuckle*.

Well how else did you expect me to have an heir for you?? Hmmm???

Point taken.

That does bring us right to the time I gave birth to our first child.

I had a daughter we named Chamile. She was so sweet and adorable, and she was daddy's girl, but you had informed me that I needed a male heir...so regardless of our little girls charm we would have to try again. I can't say I minded though. Having a child was a dream of mine and having several was even better!

How did you manage to keep your job and take care of your growing family?

Well, it was no easy task, that's for sure. When Chamille arrived I hired a nanny, Jill Yang, to be at the house when I wasn't . She was a decent nanny, but a little strange in my opinion. I know that Quent definitly did not get along with her, but she was a neccisary evil. I needed an extra pair of hands at the house...just in case.

It was awful being away from the house and not knowing what I would come home to at the end of the day. Luckily Jill held her own against Quent...I love my husband, but I know exactly how stubborn he can be.

Chamile grew quickly, and luckily I stayed in a good enough mood to allow her smart milk for most meals which helped with training her to walk, talk, and use the potty.

By the time Chamile had grown into a child, I was pregnant with our second child.

Looks like Chalmile was doing great in school.

Yeah, she was my little overachiever! I got her into private school, but it wasn't easy. I made coffee for the headmaster after a quick tour of the house and he drank coffee and spoke with Quent while I served dinner. I couldn't have planned it better!

I see Quent was sporting his usual attire.

*chuckling* What did you expect?

And you can call me crazy, but I wanted a pet so bad that I decided to adopt Shyla. I know what your thinking...just another thing to look after, but Quent and Chamille were very good with her. They even fed her for me!

Well, I hate to say it ma, but it is getting late and I am pretty tired from rehashing all of this...can the rest wait for another time?

Sure, no problem honey. We will stop here and finish this up later.

ISBI: Getting to know you

2007-04-27T05:45:00.001-07:00

Aquarius - 7 neat, 4 shy, 4 lazy, 7 playful, 5 nice

Meet Imogen Isbee. The sim-daughter of the sim version of my husband and I. She will kick off the challenge by being our very first torch holder (meaning the only sim I can control until she passes the torch to the next generation). By now, Imogen is already back at her house in Ten Flames Province, so we will catch up with her there in the next update. First, I will give you a brief rundown of her university experience.

I created her in CAS as a teen and immediately moved her to uni. Imogen is a family sim that wants to reach the top of the education career track.

With only a measly 500 simoleans to her name, the first thing she did was get to work at the local coffee shop. And then he walked through the door. His name was Quentin Jayapalan and Imogen was immediately attracted to him...I must say that I thought he wasn't too bad myself. Looks like we have ourselves a potential mate.

But I wasn't about let my little girl go to the first sim she fancied. I made sure she played the field. And it didn't go so well, as illustrated above.

So I let her have her man, Quentin, and she couldn't keep her hands off of him. Funny that these two only have one bolt of attraction (my usual rule of thumb is a minimum of two) but Imogen did nothing but role wants relating to him. And I thought, meh...why not let the girl have her man?

All of the potential husband hunting had actually paid off when Imogen inadvertently wound up a member of the secret society. With access to all of the funds she could ask for, as well as several skilling objects we began to work on getting her as many skills as possible. But the traditional method of skilling, even durring fall, was just not fast enough for my liking.

So I had her start to use the sim vac. What a useful litte tool this has turned out to be. I have to give credit to ASimWen for giving me the idea in her ISBI blog The Howdyschells.

It wasn't long before Imogen was a regular skill stealer, tho I couldn't let her max EVERYTHING this way with a clean concience. She would have to study the old fashioned way for at least a few of her points.

She also worked on a couple of badges while she was at uni. This took the ENTIRE length of her college career...these darn workbenches drain comfort like it is going out of style so there were several trips to the rejuvinator zappy mood enhancing aspitarion reward thingy!

The most time consuming project was Imogen's garden. My thought was to have her stock her inventory with fruits and veggies to save on groceries, and to get her the gardening badges. I am planning to try for the wishing well once she is back in the neighborhood...should come in handy...and I thought high gardening skills might help with that. I even had her try out her influence on Quentin having help her garden.

It was getting down to the end of her college experience. Soon it would be time to "officially" start the challenge. Imogen had made up her mind, Quentin was the one.

So in a move bolder than I would give her credit for being, she asked him to marry her...and he said YES!

Soon these two would be Mr. and Mrs. Isbee. But first, there was a graduation party to throw...

They looked great, didn't they? All in cap and gown. What a proud mama I am!

Skills:
Cooking 10
Mechanical 8

At the end of university, Imogen was excited to start her life after school...I was nervous and worried for her as any mother would be, but I have nothing but confidence in her. See you back in the neighborhood!

ISBI: Intro

2007-04-27T05:44:00.001-07:00

This is my attempt at the "I'm Surrounded by Idiots" challenge written by DylanTK. The official rules can be found here. A brif description of the challenge:

The point of this challenge is to try to manage an entire household through several generations while only having one character under your control. Other household members must rely entirely on their artificial intelligence (or lack thereof), while their wants and needs remain forever hidden. Do you have what it takes handle all the responsibilities of a sim household from one sim's perspective? Pass along the torch of awareness and keep the family going.

Disclaimer:
The rules have not bee updated to reflect the new Seasons EP. Seasons added several gameplay elements that assist in this challenge. Since there are no official rules at this time, I am going to use the game play additions that came with Seasons liberally and to my torch holder's advantage.

With that said, let's get this started, shall we?

The Lost Challenge: Weeks 3 and 4

2007-04-10T09:08:00.000-07:00

Since I goofed and no one was taken on Sunday the time frame was off a bit and I had to play into the fourth week in order to complete the challenge. So lets go straight to the returning cast member...drumroll please...Charlie wins again with the most aspiration points, and is still closest to Hurley.

Welcome back AGAIN Hurley!

Woot! More orangeade comin up!

Kate takes to making more Orangeade. Not bad with the flower arrangement badge except she has not gone near the flower bench.

And yeah...another one that leaves me wondering. Well, it was worth a shot.

Ah! It finally worked *doin the happy dance* a worth while one! Lets see if we can keep the luck rolling...

Jack's turn at the juicer...and let me just say that this orangeade stuff has been all but a waste of time!! Cosmetology? Seriously Jack? For that he got the boot juice...muhahaha!

*snicker snicker* Sorry Jack, I couldn't resist with all these boots laying around.

What I hadn't realized was exactly how low Kate's aspiration bar was.

So while Sun wasn't looking, or so she thought, Kate made her move on Charlie...her excuse was that Jack was working.

But Sun wasn't about to let Kate get away with stealing her man.

It was a knock down drag out cat fight.

Unfortunately for Sun, Kate's job required body skills, so Sun got her butt kicked.

Tuesday morning Hurley got taken by the others...yet again. I got tired of taking shots of him coming and going, so here he is contributing to the island. Thanks anyway Hurley.

And if by a stroke of fate, Charlie is struck by lightining the next day while tending the garden. Sorry Charlie...(no worries, he survived).

Despite the turmoil on the island in the early part of this week, both Charlie and Kate bring home promotions. And as a side note, you may notice the tiki style shack the losties managed to build in the pick behind Charlie.

But my dear Sun's luck continues to get worse as she brings home a demotion.

At six Friday morning, poor Sun had the lowest aspiration and was taken by the others...sorry Charlie...too little too late.

With Sun gone, Kate takes over the gardening...and poof she is a plant sim!? I have worked the entire three weeks with Sun trying to turn her to a plant and almost instantly, Kate becomes one!

So I send her straight to the pool in an attempt to max her body skill...a lofty goal, but I thought I would give it a shot (um, it didn't happen in time tho).

Well, this candle that was struck by lightining and started on fire pushed him over the edge and Sunday, dear sweet Jack was picked up by the others for having the lowest aspiration points.

And when Monday rolls around, Charlie is still the highest on the aspiration ladder, so his good buddy Hurley is rescued for the fifty millionth time. Tho this time I got him a job (wahoo!).

Earlier that morning the lot got a visitor...Sun, back so soon girl?

Well, Hurley felt terrible about what has happened with Kate and Charlie, and then with her job...one thing led to another....

...and Sun had found herself a new man! Unfortunately the date and budding romance with sun did not give Hurley enough aspiration to save him from elimination the very next day...Monday morning Hurley made yet another quick exit. Geez I am begining to sound like a broken record!

And after an uneventful few days, it is down to Kate and Charlie...our boy Charlie takes it home as Kate is sent packing with the others.

Congrats Charlie!

You are the sole survivor (err...thats another show). Either way, you are our winner!

Flip the page for the finally tally!

Week Two / Score

The Lost Challenge: Week Two

2007-04-10T07:01:00.000-07:00

Week two for our survivors starts with a rescue. Charlie has the most aspiration points, and he is closest with Hurley (makes sense as he is the last to leave, but is also kinda cute as they pal around on the show too).

I get him right down to business fishing, though I really need him to find a job.

Luckily, on Tues of week two Sun found a job in Education.

Unluckily, Hurley did not have the oportunity to find his job as he was taken again by the others (he did not have much of a chance to gain asp points in his one day back on the island).

And for the sake of aspiration boosts, Charlie and Sun hooked up.

They were actually a cute couple...for a time they were inseperable. Following eachother around the island and smooching every now and then. When he fished, she fished and when she gardened, he gardened.

And with the harvesting of fruits and veggies came the first juices!

And of course I was looking forward to the Orangeade that gives badge points...yeah...what am I gonna do with points in robotics??

Jack also finally finds his job. This means that all the losties (with the exception of those taken by the others) have found their jobs.

Along with being employed Jack is keeping the survivors in fish. The steady cash flow also alows for them to start "finding" more of the items.

Most notable are the flower making and toy making benches, tho none of them can spend much time on them as they are rather stressful on their comfort level (something that is a hot comodity on the island).

And a sweet pool table.

Thursday, Locke decides to start a fire in the make shift kitchen.

Such a surprise then that Locke is the one nabbed by the others on Friday morning as he took a huge aspiration hit from the fire.

Kate got herself a couple of promotions over the course of the week.

As did Charlie, though I don't think he is too comfortable in the suit and tie.

I literally just realized that I made a bit of a boo boo this week by forgetting to have the third person taken by the others on Sunday Morning...either way, on with the challenge!

Week One / Week Three

The Lost Challenge: Week One

2007-04-06T09:19:00.001-07:00

First off, here is a pic of the island prior to starting the challenge.

Everything seen here was created prior to reducing the funds to 1500 Simoleans. Unremarkable, but it features a large beach area and a small "swimming hole".

The first order of business was to catch some food (and simoleans). I never realized exactly how pofitable fishing could be until now!

Then the job hunt began. The only one to find a job on Day 1 was Charlie.

Sun immediately took on the role of mother hen, planting the garden and making sure her fellow survivors were well fed.

Obviously the stress of island life and being the only paycheck was starting to get to poor Charlie.

But he wasn't alone...after purchasing a few things I THOUGHT were nececities there was no money left for a bed...let alone several beds. So our survivors slept on the beach. But this was not workin for me...it caused their needs to plumment and they would refuse to do ANYTHING. So beds became the number one priority on my mental checklist.

Day Two, Tuesday, 6 am...our first survivor to be taken by the others was Sawyer...*waving goodbye*. Ah Sawyer, we hardly knew ya!

Luckily the survivors caught several fish their first day on the island and I was able to affors a couple of beds, but it was still a struggle to get their needs high enough to convince them to look for jobs.

Thank goodness for Sayid. He managed to be in a decent enough mood and actually found his job!

The bookcase was good for filling their fun and getting some skills and asp points for my knowledge sims, tho I probably did not have to buy it in the first couple of days.

The first fire happens on night two. Almost all of the losties take an aspiration hit.

Yet only Sun and Sayid break down.

Where as Sun bounces back quickly after a little lovin from Charlie, Sayid on the other hand...

...continues to have issues. And becomes our second lostie taken by the dreaded others.

See ya later Sayid.

I am happy to announce that both Kate and Locke found their jobs as Adventurers...especially as one of my only two working losties was already taken by the others.

And to close the week, our last lostie is taken by the others. Bye Hurely!

The Lost Challenge Week One

Toddlermania: Take Two

2007-03-14T10:45:00.000-07:00

You may remember my last toddlermania attempt, Take One, which was an absolute disaster. Well, this time around it went much better, mostly due to the fact that I unknowingly used an illegal cheat. Under the assumption that the household mood enhancing cheat 'maxMotives' was legal with the -2 point per use penalty, I sailed through the challenge accomplishing more than I ever thought possible. It wasn't until I sat down to score it did I realize my mistake. So...though this is my second attempt at this challenge, it will not be my final attempt. I plan to give this challenge one more go, this time using only the boolProp method of maxing the adult sims motives rather than all sims in the house. I honestly did NOT know that this cheat was not legal until after I had completed the challenge, and though it is a wash due to this fact I still wanted to blog it for everyones entertainment. Hope that you enjoy Toddlermania: Take Two!

This time I gave my mom a break and decided to torture my friend and coworker Teresa. Let's meet her and the seven toddlers in her care.

Meet Teresa. She is an extremely outgoing and personable sim with a fortune aspiration. I selected fortune for her as I heard the initial construction of the house including the purchase of several neccissary items would boost her aspiration score...no such luck. All she wanted the whole time was to earn money...sorry sister that is SOOO not happening!

Teresa: Okay, what am I doing here? This looks awfully firmilliar...wait a minute! Seven cribs...fourteen training potties...SEVERAL skilling toys for tots...this is toddlermania isn't it? Why on earth would you do this to me?

Shaunna: *whistling innocently* Yup, this is toddlermania, and you are here because you agreed to it.

Teresa: I never agreed to anything! Youv'e got the wrong sim.

Shaunna: Oh, well take that up with the real Teresa...she is the one who got you into this.

Teresa: *grumble* Rest assured, she will be hearing from me!

Shaunna: Let's get on with this, shall we meet the toddlers?

Patrek

Dayne

Myrcella

Petyr

Willem

Lyanna

Janei

And here is the new and improved home. I created seven bedrooms for the toddlers on the left side of the home. In addition to the cribs, each room contained two training potties and a skill object. The rest of the house was an open layout with two doll houses and several more skill objects for the kiddies.

**********************

Our adventure began and our welcome wagon arrived...

And like last time, they were a great help. Especially servo Jeeves Cipriani (he also was a member of the welcome wagon in my first attempt).

Teresa: I really like that Jeeves. He saved us in points as I did not have to call in a nanny on the first day, although he did over do it a bit with the bottles...

Teresa: My first order of business was to get to work potty training the tots. When we got into the house...they ALL needed it.

Shaunna: But it looks like you had things under control...

Teresa: Might be hard to see, but I tried to get all of the kids working on a skill as I went around to do a round of potty training.

Shaunna: Good plan...what was next?

Teresa: Nanny time!

Shaunna: Okay, good thing the nanny was on her way...then what?

Teresa: Well, I somehow managed (over the course of the entire challenge) to teach all of the toddlers to talk.

Shaunna: What? Thats impossible!

Teresa: You made it possible! You typed a cheat in...max something or other...whatever it was it made us all feel great! So, while the others were playing I had time to train the kids to talk each time.

Dayne learns to talk

Willem learns to talk

Janei and Petyr learn to talk

As well as Lyanna, Myrcella, and Patrek.

Shaunna: That's really impresive. I am proud! To think you resisted at first. Whats with your hair? It looks shorter in some of the shots?

Teresa: Yeah, it still wasn't easy! As for my hair...I got bored and decided to update it. Since these pics are from my whole time in the house some were taken before my new do and some after.

Shaunna: Oh, cool. So, what else can you share with us about your experience with the toddlers?

Teresa: Well, in addition to teaching them to talk I also had the chance to teach Patrek to walk.

Shaunna: Nice job. But of all of this skilling...what else did you do while you were in the house?

Teresa: Plenty.

Teresa: The maid came in handy, but seemed put off by the stench of the house. All I could do was laugh and tell her she would get used to it.

Teresa: Bedtime wasn't bad. I got the kids on a schedule where three were up and four were down and vice versa. It really helped having them on seperate schedules.

Shaunna: Well, if you liked that technique, you can thank Ruby. She was the one who suggested we use it. She ended up doing it inadvertantly in her Toddlers, Toddlers Everywhere blog.

Teresa: I let the toddlers play at the doll house every once in a while. I had a hard time giving each of them enough attention, but they managed just fine filling their social need by playing with one another.

Teresa: And our maid became so efficient that the kids were reduced to fighting over the bottles! Poor Willem lost that time.

************************

Teresa: Before long it was time for the kids to grow up and I had not even had a single warning from the social worker.

Teresa: I even got a few of them to grow up well!

Shaunna: Wait a minute...someone's missing from this shot...where's Lyanna?

Teresa: Oh yeah, could not get her to the living room in time for her transition.

Shaunna: So over all this experience wasn't as bad as you had thought. I am glad to hear it. Unfortunately that max cheat that made you all so happy...wasn't allowed. So, it is no wonder it was such a breeze for you!

Teresa: What? Really? I had no idea anyone could get through without it!

Shaunna: Yeah, they can and they have.

Teresa: Guess that means youv'e gotta do this all over again.

Shaunna: Yup.

Toddlermania: Take One

2007-03-09T06:26:00.000-08:00

This is my first attempt at the toddlermainia challenge. The house for this challenge was placed in my prosperity neighborhood Rose Island, so that once the challenge was complete, the children could be added to the adoption pool (so townies and visitors may be firmiliar to those who have been following RI). I will preface this post with the fact that I went in blind. I had not reviewed the rules, or developed any kind of strategy prior to starting the challenge. I based everything I did on blogs that I have read and I found that I really should have planned things out a bit better...next time...there is always next time...

Let's meet the lucky sim and the seven toddlers!

Meet Susan. I lovingly created her as a sim self of my real life mom (also named Susan). Sorry mom, but you really are in for it...

Shaunna: Over the next few days, you will be the sole caretaker for seven toddlers...

Susan: Excuse me? I don't think I signed up for this...wait a minute...Shaunna? Is that you? What have you done to me? I have three yoga classes to teach today, and I have to run to Costco to pick up the lunch meat for the swimteam dinner...they named me nutritional coordinator you know. Oh, and it is your uncle Ed's birthday this weekend, can you make dinner on Saturday?

Shaunna: Whoa mom...shhhh...all in good time. Lets get started by meeting our little ones.

In no particular order...

Ami

Jamie

Chris

Summer

Evan

Veronica

Sonja (pictured here in the middle)

And here is where it will all take place. I have to admit that this shot was taken before I added a small bedroom for Susan as well as a changing table (I was crazy to think I would not need one).

**************************

Susan: This isn't so bad. What cuties they all are! When are you gonna make me a grandma?

Shaunna: I'm working on it mom. And hold off before passing judgement. This moment may seem peacefull, but they haven't even made it through the door yet. At this point I am still optomistic, but regretting the fact that I did not get a copy of the rules first.

Shaunna: Let the potty training begin!

Susan: Ugh...this is gonna be hard.

Shaunna: Your telling me. I am a little worried to be honest. But youv'e managed to get six of the seven kiddos to the pottys before they dirtied their diapers and that ain't too shabby.

Ami is the first diaper casualty. I attempted to keep track of the diapers changed per kiddo. Since I did not check the rules, I wanted to cover the bases on that. And sheesh they started to add up!

Shaunna: You didn't tell me you had visitors today! Look, it's Ruby Cedar *waves to Ruby*.

Susan: Yeah, I wasn't expecting anyone and suddenly three of the nicest sims showed up on my doorstep calling themselves the 'welcome wagon'. This is Ruby...

Shaunna: No need for introductions mom, I know these sims *w*.

Susan: Well, the other two were a really good loking young man named Franz, and a servo named Jeeves. I would say that Jeeves was the most helpful getting bottles for all of the kids, and even cleaning them up when they were done! But even with the help of the kind sims of Rose Island, I thought I could use another pair of hands.

Shaunna: Good idea, call in those reinforcements!

Reinforcements came in the form of nanny Lyndsay Tsang. And like a proper nanny she went right to work...

Shaunna: Okay, wait a minute. What do you think your doing?

Susan: I'm stressed, I needed a cookie. You haven't even taken a look around this place lately...

Susan: It's a disaster. Things are NOT going well. I am not sure what to do with myself...

Shaunna: Well, I have heard that people invite the matchmaker for insta dates and aspiration points.

Susan: Is this really the time for a date? Honestly I am NOT in the mood.

Shaunna: Unfortunately I am not sure what else to do and it is worth a shot, right?

Susan: Okay, whatever...

Susan: I can't believe I am actually doing this...and in my pajamas?

Shaunna: No time to get dressed...no time for anything for that matter.

Susan: This isn't going to work honey, try as you might I have a feeling I am gonna lose these kiddos.

And the date was a disaster and a mistake...Susan got very few aspiration points, and her date just got in the way. then the unthinkable happened.

Shaunna: Noooo! Susan, wake up...oh no...what have we done!!??

Susan: *sobbing* I am so sorry...I had no idea...

Shaunna: It's okay mom. Can't win em all.

Susan: But what about those poor sweet babies?

Shaunna: Don't worry, they are now part of the adoption pool and I am sure they will find good homes here on the island and live full and healthy lives.

Susan: *sniffle* What about me then?

Shaunna: *virtual hugs* I will make you a townie in Rose Island. I promise not to torture you again...and you can do all the yoga your little sim heart desires!

Susan: Really? Okay, I guess...I am just still kinda sad about all this.

Shaunna: I know, me too. But there is nothing more we can do at this point but thank the readers...

Susan: Thanks for reading...sorry to disapoint! See you in Rose Island!

And that is that. I plan to give this challenge another go sometime soon...hopefully my next try will be more successful. Don't worry, I plan to blog for your reading pleasure!

Happy Simming!

Shaunna

Seasons: My Failed Experiment

2007-03-06T09:57:00.000-08:00

Well, I planned to test the new TS2 EP Seasons much like Ruby did in her 4 Seasons test blog. Though I will say from the start, things did not go quite as well for my test sims. Actually, this is just a quick post detailing their short time as my test group. Without further delay, lets meet the lucky sims...

Meet the Weathers.

The Weathers are four randomly created sims that will be testing each season by living on the lawn.

Icy Weathers will be our winter test sim. She will have the coldest days to endure, though it suits her cool personality.

Next is Rain Weathers. Rain has signed up for the spring portion of the lawn test. He is a lover, not a fighter, so spring seems to suit him.

This is Dry Weathers. Introverted and quiet, Dry is willingy planning to subject himself to summers blistering heat...with that fair skin he could be in trouble!

Windy Weathers will be our fall tester. As free as the leaves that float to the ground at the begining of Autumn, Windy is perfect for fall.

**************************

This is where our team of testers have been residing. Winter is our first season, as you can see. The compound built for the testers is rather bare bones. There are three small apartments for the off seasons, and a roof covering the area where our current test sim is keeping their things while living on the lawn. There is also a green house in the back and room for an expansion, ie. a pool or skating rink, sometime in the future.

Here is a shot of the lot with the walls down to get a better idea of what the conditions are for out test sims.

*********************

For a while things were going well. Icy was enjoying winter.

Or so it seemed...she was the one to make the snowman on the left (the other was built by one of her roommates)...not a happy looking snowman now is he?

Her next move was to demolish Mr. Happy Looking Snowman...

She then proceeded to pat herself on the back for her accomplishment. What a brat!

And this, my friends, was the begining of the end for our test group. It all started with this breakdown caused by a small and non harmful fire that started after Icy lit the fire place.

Things were not going well. Then, Dry started looking for a job and he found one (I wanted to check out a couple of the new careers while I was at this test).

And he was fired the FIRST day for a bad chance card. Ugh. So he was off to look in the paper for another job. And little did I know that he set the darn paper right in front of the darn fireplace!

And chaos ensued...while trying to put Dry out...

Icy also went up in flames. Unable to stop freaking out long enough to put their housemates out, Windy and Rain watched their friends parrish in the flames after only four days of living together.

*******************

At this point, I made a decision to head back to Rose Island (my prosperity challenge). I missed my prosperity sims desperatley, and after spending such a long time creating the Weathers and their compound, to lose two of them within the first week was too much for me to handle. So, I have put the testers on the back burner and have delved back into prosperity...possibly planning to revisit this group at some point. Either way, this has been my first adventure with Seasons.

Jayapalan Family Home Tour

2007-03-01T06:38:00.000-08:00

Here is a quick tour of the newly rebuilt home of the Jayapalan family in Rose Isalnd (remodel done start of round 14).

First, a quick refresher of what the house looked like before the rebuild. A cute three story that was cramped and busting at the seams. Out of neccesity I built up, and it worked for round 13, but when I entered the lot at the start of round 14 I knew the family needed more space for their rapidly growing bunch.

So, after tearing it literally down to the ground, the result is this. A lovely and spacious four bedroom, 2 bath home with areas tailored to this large families needs.

As you come inside through the front door, you enter into an open foyer with the kitchen and dining room to the left, the livinig room to the right, and an accomidating double staircase in the center.

The dining room is well equiped to seat the entire family for a meal, though it is rare the hoard all gathers together, it is nice to know that they can.

The kitchen offers all the modern conveniences any sim could imagine. With special details like overhead cabinet lighting and a sleek refridgerator cabinet.

To the right of the kitchen is the main floor bath.

Around the corner in the bath another door leads to the master bedroom.

A quiet, romantic, and well deserved retreat for the parents of the house.

Back in the main body of the house, the master bedroom enters into the generous living area.

Another angle of the living area.

The tour continues on the second floor, follow me up the stairs.

To your left when you reach the top of the stairs is the main feature of the second floor. A place for all five (soon to be six) Jayapalan kids to hang out and study, or have fun.

Another angle of the hang out space.

****

2nd floor bath pics...

****

On the other side of the second floor are three modest sized bedrooms.

At the time of the photo, their is the nursery, a room in the middle for grandma, and a room with two beds for the older kids.

And a spacious full bath.

And finally the backyard.

The house is still being deocrated and is still needing to be "lived in" before it is complete, regardless, the Jayaplan's hope that you have enjoyed the tour of their new home!

Back to the Jayapalan Family round 14 update
