New Blog for my Simmies

Because I figured I'd keep my simmies lives seperate from my (coughNonUpdatedcough) real life, I made a new blog. Anyone interested in following the lives of my simmies can go to Juby's Simmies . If you let me know to update here when I update there, I can do that :) If you just want me to update here more frequently, let me know and I'll try... :)

The Sims - Chicken Fucker Household Hijinks!! Chris frolics Nakee, Stacy's still a hussy!

Last night, I played with the CF college household. Much drama ensued. Apologies for the teenyness and quality of the pics, that will be rectified next time I get to play. (Sadly, not tonight, :( )

So, Chris kept spinning up the want to go on a date, so I called up Meadow, thinking that she might be amenable. She was, and it went ok. The most noteable occurance was Chris dancing with her...

Chris gets his groove thang on!

After she went home, he spun up ANOTHER want for a date. I kept talking to various girls around the house, and finally (it took a while, some of the dormie girls can be real bitches) hit gold with a cute little redhead. Sadly, I can't remember her name. It went very well, Dream Date status, and after nothing but a little smoochin, the date ended. Well, Chris seemed to think that she needed to see him naked, and spun up the want to streak. I had NO idea how hilarious the animations for streaking were...

Chris Frolics NAKED!!

The next few minutes were seriously amusing, with him running around the dorm, waving his arms about...

Wheeeee!!! I'm NAKEE!!

and amusing the other residents and visitors with his dancing.

Chris: *DanceDanceWiggleDanceWiggleDanceDance*
Angel: "Dude, put that thing away I'm *coughcough* usin' the bubble blower!"

There are seriously amusing animations, naked hula dancing and such...it's my new favorite action, heh.

While Chris was busy with his various girlies, SOMEHOW Stacy developed a crush, then LOVE with Jeffy. (Sadly, there's no pics of this, I promise to get more on the ball with that.) I didn't see it, I just heard the "in love" chimes and paused it to see what had transpired, and lo and behold, there's Stacy and Jeffy. Gaaah! I did NOT want this! Despite her current new feelings, she spun up the want to call Georgie (not a suprise, she's got an almost constant want to have that boy on the phone) after Jeffy went to class. While she was on the phone with him, she decided she wanted to go on a date with him. I figured, what's the harm, it's not like there's anything OFFICIAL with her and Jeffy. So, Georgie came over, and while they're being flirty and smoochie on the sidewalk, Jeffy comes home from class, sees them, and is INFURIATED. He smacks Stacy, gets some majorly (-90!) relationship points for both her and Georgie, and falls out of love with her. I sigh, thinking that there's going to be some serious friendship work goin on to fix this, and all the while, both Stacy and Georgie are spinning up MAJOR wants to WooHoo. There's no where in the dorm where that's possible, since all the rooms have single beds, and even if Stacy did have a double in her room, there'd be no room in there to keep all her "You're my Dream Date!" bouquets and her one seriously major Dream Date Gift, a giant plasma TV from Matt Kins that she brought with her when she went off to college. So, I send them to the Penn Theater, where there's a little shop next door with a "WooHoo-able" Photobooth. They get there, hop in the booth, and it starts a-rockin. A bunch of the sims that were on the lot run over there and start cheering, lol. They hop out, and Stacy ends the date so she can get back home and try to patch things up with Jeffy.

Jeffy's still furious, but they play some darts (how smart is THAT? I'd want to keep pointy objects OUT of my scorned lover's hands...) and things look to slowly be getting patched up, when Stacy's cell phone rings. She answers, and it's Armando, one of Georgie's friends that she hasn't met. He says "So, Georgie tells me you guys had a good time when you went out, want to go out with me?" I figure, he's not that cute, but she's got 50 first dates to go on to make her LTW, what the hell, and she invites him over. No WooHoo, but it went well.

While this is all going on, apparently Angel was still on the lot as a visitor, and not under my control (well, unless I cheat, but I like watching how my sims act when I'm not psychotically controlling thier every move, heh) and apparently she overstayed her welcome...

Angel: "I'm soooo hungry!! But soooooo SLEEPY!!" *faceplant*
Jeff: "Man!! Go home and take a shower ALREADY!"


Promise there'll be more and better pics next time :)

The Sims Introduction.

I made a Sims 2 neighborhood consisting of Real Life People I've known and grew up with. Since Sims who start out younger have more time to build skills and aspiration points than sims who start as adults/young adults, I made us all as kids, with our families. I try to play as organically as possible, not being a control freak about making them uber successful and following thier wants rather than the *right* way to do it, and with few cheats. I am a stickler for people aging properly (with a few exceptions) so I play the houses in an order so that all the parents will be elders at the same time and no adults will have childhood friends that never grow up. My game has no 3rd party or user created downloads, just Maxis releases, it's pretty vanilla. I also try to keep NPC (non player characters) interactions to a minimum, because while the playable sims will age, the NPC's wont, unless I make them playable, and man, I don't want to have a bazillion sims to play (I've already got 1/2 a bazillion, heh).

The things I strive for are authenticity in wants, (If a sim spins up a want to do something, I try to make it happen, I am a benevolant creator, heh) fulfillment of Lifetime Wants (LTW - if a sim fulfills thier LTW, they are platinum - in a really good mood - for the rest of thier lives, and they get a special urn or tombstone when they die.) and a mostly non-group-incestous group. Unless there's a current relationship IRL, or the sim *reallyreally* wants to interact in certain (romantic) ways with another playable sim, I'm trying to stay away from intergroup romances. For our main spouses, I'm going to try to pick townies, but sims have a mind of thier own sometimes. When it comes time to pick an aspiration/turn ons/offs for sims that I don't already have an idea for, I use dice to roll it up randomly.

The things I didn't care so much about was the parent's names, thier looks, or their jobs. I tried for realism to a point, but when I couldn't remember what your parents looked like, or thier exact names or jobs, I winged it. And if I remembered a step parent, they're your real Sim parent. Don't be offended, please. For thier looks, I tried to keep a basic face shape and such in the family, so some of the parents look nothing like thier real life counterparts.

Here's the story up to last night. I didn't get any screencaps till last night because I'm not real quick with the camera button, but I'll try to get better...some of the people who these sims represent are buggin' me for pictures, lol. The family shots are from when they were first made, so siblings that came along afterwards aren't pictured, and the growing up that has occurred is not pictured. I've used certain families real last names, those families will have thier anonymity protected, just in case. Sorry about the first names guys, if you have a real problem with it, let me know.

  • The L* family:


    Sue, single mother to Angel and Levi. She's a Family
    sim, so she has a LTW to graduate 3 kids from college, but after I adopted Levi
    and told the RL Sue about it she was like "NOOOO!! NO MORE KIDS!" heh. So, she
    won't die platinum. I'm pretty sure she's in the Science career track, and doing
    fairly well in it. Since Angel moved out to college and took the family friends
    with her, she's been on a mad scramble to make adult friends of her own so she
    doesn't get demoted for not having enough contacts.

    Angel, now in College with the rest of the main group
    of sims. Popularity Aspiration, her LTW is to be a Hall of Famer (I think). I
    would have picked a differnt LTW for this particular sim, based on RL, but
    *whatever*.

    Levi, adopted in because of Sue's LTW.
    Fortune sim, his LTW is to be a Criminal Mastermind. Alright kid, nothing
    spectacular, kind of dippy looking tho...has been an overachiever as a teen so
    far, holding down the max teen job in the Crime career track as well as an A or
    better in school. Will be in the next batch of sims to go to College.

  • The Moo Family:


    Jim, Hepher's dad and Gma's son. Fortune sim, he's
    *just* on the edge of getting his LTW to be a Criminal Mastermind. (He needs
    more friends tho, since Hepher moved out and took the family friends.)

    Gma, Deceased now, I wanted an elder sim to start out
    with. She was a complete bitch, just like RL, heh. Had actual fistfights with
    sims when out on community lots and not under my control.

    Hepher, The main sim of the story. She's a Family sim,
    she wants to marry off 6 kids...that should be interesting. As a teenager, she
    maxed out the Military career track. In college now, (Looking to get her MRS.?)
    rooming with Angel, poor Hepher's had it rough. The death of Gma took a toll on
    her aspiration points, so she didn't grow up Platinum like the rest of the main
    kids. :(

  • The Kins family:


    This
    family had me *dying* for a while, too many babies/toddlers/people eventually...
    settled down a bit tho...I do love the house they're in, it just needs some
    build mode work.

    Adelle, Natural mother to Coley and
    Matt, step mom to Alieen and Q. Knowledge sim, I *think* her LTW is to be a Mad
    Scientist.

    Volod, Dad to Coley and Matt, ?Mom? to
    Alieen and Q. When Matt was still a toddler, Volod kept wanting to gain logic
    points with the telescope, being a knowledge sim, (Pretty sure his LTW is to be
    a Chief of Staff, but I could be wrong) and he wound up getting abducted by
    aliens. He came back pregnant with little Alieen. After Alieen was born, he kept
    spinning up the want to "Meet the Aliens" again, and he did, a day later, making
    Alieen and Q just a day apart, with Matt just turned into a child. It was rough.
    He's no longer allowed near the telescope.

    Coley is the
    main character in this one. She's a knowledge sim, like her mom and Volod.
    Currently living in a dorm with her boyfriend and a couple of other simmies.
    Very creative.

    Matt, Coley's little brother. IRL he's a
    fledgling rapper, and it was so cute when he kept spinning up the want to
    "freestyle for tips". He's a Pleasure sim, and continually wants to jump on the
    couch. Currently waiting for the new year to start so he can go to College. He's
    a little creepy looking in his toddler pic, but he's grown up to be a nice
    looking teen sim. I didn't realize till I saw him that the "family head" I
    picked for him, Adelle and Coley actually had elf ears till I saw him in game,
    but they're all cute as heck, so that's ok.

    Marvin, a
    Family oriented Servo. With all the crazy babies and toddlers and parents at
    work, it was easier to go buy some household help. He's done alright, but he
    pisses me off on occasion because he cooks way too much food and then eats a
    plate even tho he doesn't have a hunger bar. Has gone nuts occasionally because
    of lack of aspiration points (although he's got a girlfriend now, so hopefully
    that'll be better, just don't know what I'm going to do if they want to get
    married), and has broken himself and run amok and electrocuted a sim or 2 a
    couple of times because he'll clean a shower that's spraying water because it's
    broken and needs repair, and I *think* he jumped in the pool once... mabye he's
    got a suicide wish? Heh.

    Alieen, Product of Volod's
    first abduction, she kind of creeped me out a little when she was born...very
    seriously pointy cheekbones and chin, really concave cheeks. She's gotten a bit
    cuter as she gets older, and has maxed out nice and outgoing points. Knowledge
    sim, not sure what her LTW is. Waiting for the main group of sims to graduate
    college, when it'll be her and her "twins" turn.

    Q is a
    cuter alien baby, with a little fuller cheeks and not so much of a prominent
    chin. Still with ehe maxed nice and outgoing points, but I rolled up popularity
    for her. These 2 sort of run together for me, since I cheated her up a day so
    that I didn't have to deal with a birthday for 2 days in a row.

  • The B* family:


    Rick, Dad to Kelly, he's just been promoted to General,
    the top of the Military career track. It amuses me to no end that the Military
    track requres *NO* logic skil points, heh. One half of the horniest sim couple
    I've *ever* met. If he's got a day off, he's gonna spend it in bed all darn day
    with...

    Nella, Kelly's mom, majorly creative sim. Maybe
    that's why Rick is constantly wanting to WooHoo with her, heh. And when it's not
    Rick spinning up the wants, it's her. They're cute, too, it's not all just
    humpin' with these 2, they're always wanting to talk and hug and flirt. *So*
    cute. She's maxed out the creativity skill and is a stay at home sim, spending
    her days while Rick's at work writing best selling novels and painting
    masterpieces.

    Kelly is a Knowledge sim, Coley's RL
    boyfriend. He's a bit shy, but him and Coley have hit it off very cutely.
    Currently living at the dorms. He painted a cute picture of Coley to bring with
    him to the dorms.

    Rosie, the other servo in the game. I
    added her because Marvin Kins kept wanting to get married and fall in love
    (being a family sim) and have only just recently developed a relationship
    between them. She irritates me like Marvin does, only doesn't seem to have a
    death wish. She does seem a litle buggy when she breaks, at one point I thought
    I was going to have to delete her, but I think I've found a work around.

  • The Poo family:


    Deb is Scooter and Stacy and Paul's mom. She's my most
    persistant "Have a BABY!!" Family sim. She was the town MILF, all the guys in
    the neighborhood got hearts when they thought of her.

    Louie is a Fortune sim. IRL, he's not even married to
    Deb anymore, and was just a step parent to Stacy and Scooter, but like I said,
    that's what I remember from growing up, so it is thusly in my game. Nyah. I'm
    God, heh.

    Scooter, my first Pleasure Aspiration sim.
    His LTW to have 50 1st dates is likely going to be hampered by the fact that I
    put his RL girlfriend in the game, sadly. I like Scooter, he's very easy going,
    I can almost predict the wants that he'll spin up first thing in the morning, 1)
    Juggle 2) light a fire in the fireplace and 3) skip class, heh.

    Stacy is the main sim of the family. Another Pleasure
    Aspiration with the 50 1st dates want, she's always been a bit of a hussy. It's
    almost like she wanted to be a Romance sim, but I couldn't make her that slutty,
    lol. At one point when she was a teenager, I had to be very careful about the
    actions she had with any guy sim while on a community lot because you never know
    who'll be on them, and she had like 4 of the guys on a string. Seems to have an
    unhealthy fixation on one of them tho... I don't like it, and RL Stacy hates
    this guy in particular, heh. Currently at college, wooing and pissing off boys.

    Paul, just recently a toddler, he was a product of
    Deb's "LET ME HAVE A BABY ALREADY, DAMMIT!" want after Stacy went off to
    college. Buggiest baby I've ever had, I've had to do some creative cheating to
    make sure he got taken care of properly as a baby. IRL, technically Scooter and
    Stacy's OLDER brother, but I didn't know about him when we were kids. When Deb
    had a baby boy, I was at a loss as to what to name him, but then I remembered
    him, heh.

  • The D* family:


    Bill, once single dad to Jeffy and Anner, he's one of
    those sims who look nothing like thier RL counterpart. Recently married to a
    much younger townie (can't remember her name, dammitall) because he had a
    serious fear of not getting married before he grew old. Married him off last
    time I played and realized how many days older than her he was, so I busted out
    the Elixer of life to add some days for him.

    Jeffy, one
    of my uber overachievers. He's a Fortune sim, and did very well as a teen, with
    balancing a job and schoolwork. In college now, getting his heart broke and
    staying on the Dean's List.

    Anner is Scooter's real
    life girlfriend. She's a Knowledge sim, and has maxed out I don't even know HOW
    many skills. She should do well in college next year. I'm a little concerned
    about her and Scooter, because they were wonderful teens together (First sim
    Scooter ever brought home from school when they were kids was her, *awww*) but
    once Scooter went off to college, they seem to be growing apart. :( We'll see.

    New Wife, she's a Romance sim, which doesn't bode well
    for poor Bill. We'll see how that turns out.

  • The S* family:


    (If the
    real Grettie ever sees this, she's gonna kill me for her parent's names, but I
    couldn't for the life of me remember what they were, heh)

    Frank, typical Fortune sim/Dad. His LTW is to be a
    Criminal Mastermind, but dude, I'm gonna have so many of them in the
    neighborhood if everyone reaches thier LTWs, I figured I'd just make him a
    businessman. He's at the top of that track tho, which is nice, the first sim to
    get to the top.

    Leisel, Family Sim, typical Mom. LTW to
    graduate 3 kids from college, hence Summer. Nothing real noteable about her,
    except the fact that I tried to draw something of a parallel between her RL job
    and her Sim's job...she's in the Medical track, heh. (Snorting yet, Grettie?
    Just wait, heh)

    Chris, The RL hot older brother, a
    fortune Sim and one of the first 3 neighborhood sims to go to college. One of
    the exceptions I made about the incestuous group thing, because as a teen, he
    took a MAJOR liking to Angel (I swear I didn't do that on purpose). Had a
    frightening want in college (Him and Angel share a dorm) to propose to her, but
    I quashed that, I'm not sure if I want her to marry him. Cute the way he dreams
    about her tho, heh. Major overachiever in both Teen years and now College.

    Grettie, the main sim in this family. Currently in
    college, waiting to be played. (Her household's on the list for tonight :) )
    Growing up has given her some unfortunate facial features, I should prolly fix
    them. She was a cute kid, a very cute teen, but when she grew up, she got this
    horrible frown. It makes me sad. Cracked me up the clothes that Maxis put her in
    tho...a frilly pink dress! LOL.

    Summer doesn't exist
    IRL. Actually named after Grettie's dog growing up, heh. (Sorry Gret, heh) Will
    go to college when Alieen and Q go... she's got some time to grow on me.

  • The HS family:


    This
    family I did model after real people, but for a specific reason. I made thier
    "House" into an apartment complex modeled after apartments from my childhood, to
    use as a halfway house type thing for sims coming from college, and maybe for
    sims moving out of the family home into a retirement type situation. They're
    kind of just a placeholder family for the apartment complex.

    Mary, Another elder sim right off the bat, she's been
    interesting to see if I can fulfill her LTW of maxing all her skills out
    (Knowledge Sim) before she dies. She's kind of just a placeholder till Georgie
    gets home from college and can hold down the apartment complex.

    Melissa probably didn't exist, and for sure didn't
    exist in this capacity. In order to make Georgie Mary's grandson, there had to
    be a parent "go between". I killed her off so that Mary could have a ghost to
    see as well. She's an ok ghost tho...

    Georgie, aaaaah,
    a slutty Romance sim, heh. I didn't know him for very long IRL, but when I did,
    he was the gigolo of our age group. This is the Sim that RL Stacy wants to kill
    me for, lol. In college, trying to get woohooed, heh.

College Households
I don't have any pictures of these whole households, for some reason I can't find where they're stored. But I'll be playing these guys and trying to get good pics of them.

  • Household 1 consists of:

    • Angel- She's enjoying college, a Drama major to go along with her LTW. Has a relationship with Chris S., but I'm not sure if that'll pan. I think I want her to be a little more fancy free than to have a future Mr. Angel this early in life. Finished her freshman year with decent grades.

    • Hepher- Sadly, one of those sims that doesn't stand out much. Attends classes, has friends. I'm looking for a man for her so she doesn't have to waste her adult days looking so she can get on with her LTW of having and marrying off 6 kids, heh.

    • Kelly E.- Aaaaah, my slutty Romance sim girl :) I only just rediscovered the REAL Kelly, so I had to put her in my game somewhere. She cracks me up, she's only attended one class her 2nd semester of freshman year...long enough to meet the professor that she spent all of 2nd semester seducing... and made the Dean's List, lol. She's very ...friendly. When Cix was still in the dorm, he was the only one with a double bed, and of course, baby, his room was *always* open. She decided to walk in there, swirl into her undies, and hop into bed with him to sleep. I was like "!!! Hey!! You've got your room, *with* a bed, AND you DO have pajamas, you little hussy!" Sims make thier own decisions sometimes. :D

    • Chris S. - Seriously an over achiever, kept a GPA of 4.0 all the whole time he's been in college, probably because practically the only things he spins up is school related wants, and Angel related wants. He's kind of creepy in a way, unless I have him queued up for actions, he'll lurk around her, almost stalkerish, waiting for his chance to tickle her, or flirt with her, or have a pillow fight with her. He's just finished his Junior year, so maybe he'll be out of her hair for a while, heh.

    Originally, I had Scooter and Chris S. and Cix in this household, but then when I added the newcoming freshmen Angel, Hepher and Kelly I realized that it was suicide trying to control 6 sims in college, so I rolled randomly and moved Cix and Scooter out.


  • Household 2 (The Chicken Fucker Household!!) consists of:

    • Jeffy- Continues to over achieve, tho some recent personal relationships have put a damper on his mood. He's currently Majoring in Literature so that he can TAKE OVER THE WORLD with eloquent speeches when he's a Criminal Mastermind.

    • Stacy- Continues to be a hussy! LOL! Just finished freshman year. She's got a creepy thing to constantly phone stalk Georgie.

    • Chris Wheatbread- I had to add this guy in there, he's a Pleasure Sim, with a LTW to become a CELEBRITY CHEF!! (Heeee!) He greatly enjoys frolicking nakee, too, heh.

    • George- This is a townie teen that developed relationships with my teens, so I couldn't just leave him in the NeverNeverLand of teendom. So, I sent him off to college, and he's kind of boring, one of those overachieving Fortune Sims. He's going to become one of those Fiendish Criminal Masterminds because he's a MATH MAJOR. *shudder*

    • I just played these guys last night, and have some very amusing screenies of a couple of them.

  • Household 3 consists of:

    • Coley

    • Kelly B.

    • Grettie

    • Armando- Townie Teen, has a small part in last night's amusing hijinks.

    • Sadly, I havn't played these guys in a while, they're due to be the next household I play, so hopefully I'll get some more details about them later.

  • Household 4 consists of:

    • Cix- One of those people I met later in life that I couldn't resist making into a sim. He's a Romance sim, and currently has something going with one of the hired Maids that come to the house/dorm and clean. She's only the first of many conquests. He's currently working on a couple others, we'll see what happens next time I play him. Just finished junior year, Sim State university just won't be the same without him, heh.

    • Scooter- Floatin' along, getting passable grades, keeps spinning up wants to juggle a lot. He should be able to continue to skate along through his next and final year in college.

    • Meadow- Townie rescued from never growing up, she was the town hottie that everyone liked. Turns out she's a Family sim, but the funny thing about her is that everyone that came across her as a teenager developed a crush on and usually eventually dated. I introduced her to Georgie, who was the neighborhood gigolo as a teen and every girl he met threw herself at, so I figured they'd be perfect for eachother. But no...on the first evening they knew eachother, they became great friends (relationship points 90 out of 100! In ONE EVENING!) but there was ZERO attraction to eachother as more than just friends. Kinda suprised me, really. Just when you think you understand these sims they throw you for a loop.

    • Georgie- He's got a pretty big part in last night's drama, I'll leave him for the next post.




    • *Whew* So, here they are, all my currently being played Sims. The story should evolve from here, and hopefully it'll be pictorally documented and posted. :)
