The Orphanage - part 02

You know, if there is something that I'm learning with this challenge is that I don't know anymore how to play this game. I need more practice.

If there is something that Olinda is learning with this challenge is that life in a house alone with seven kids is a hell.

image

There are 3 bathrooms in this 3 store small building but all children use the same one.

She is very dedicated, she cooks 3 meals a day but there is a small problem...

image

Nobody seems to be interested. They are all busy eating burned cakes cooked in the kids-oven.

image

Apparently is a very special delicacy.

image

The kids spend a lot of time playing...

image

(this is the 3rd floor, it suppose to be Olinda's room but she barely uses this bed, she sleeps a lot in the couch)

...specially with the dartboard, that, I suspect, have a high advertising level.

image

This room is small because it suppose to be just the access to the stairway. To our lucky, it was the place that the children elected to leave their homeworks.

image

After 2 and 1/2 days this is the score:

- they don't really eat the meals properly
- they sleep everywhere, not twice in the same bed
- they spend most of the time playing because they need to raise the fun-motivemeter (specially Julia, who, I suppose because she is very playful, returns from school with the fun bar completely red)
- they are having problems in make the homework because they are not in the mood
- the house is quickly decaying because Olinda is not exactly a good house keeper...

Look at this bathtub:

image

... and the homeworks are piling up.

image

I was expecting more adventure so far, some fires, I don't know...
Hm. I don't think we are having much fun.
Stay tuned...

The Orphanage - part 01

(just as a note, I destroyed Desiderata trying to make editions that I don't really know how to make anymore. It worked so well before I install FT but it seems is not that simple anymore. RIP Desiderata, I was having fun.)

You know, I had this funny idea. I was playing the EAxis default sims, specially the Goths, my fav ones and since Alexander reach the teenager years I thought, why don't I add some of my fav sims as children, play with them till they reach the teen-age and then send them to UNI, etc? Sounded like a plan. I thought in add them with families and play all families (I'm playing the very confusing family of ... how are they called? You know, the girl who have two boys, the husband is dead and she is pregnant - a lot of people think she kill the guy in that small pool in the backyard) but then, it hit me: lotsd of my old sims are orphans, they have no families. So why not create a family with a responsible adult and seven children? Sounded like a very good plan.

Please, meet the Orphans: due to some game details, I made them as adult first because I didn't wanted to have to make them all family related. So I made them adult and shrunk them into kids.

image

Here they are. Some of you must know almost all of them. I downloaded Olinda at MTS2 but the "kids" are all old friends. Elena never was in one of my stories before but I used her a lot as a model to my uploaded stuff, there is a nice shot of her dressed as a bride here at Koinup. Matt and Mello are an obvious anime couple (Matt was made using Eduard), Angelo and Eugene are well know for some of you from my Butterflies stories, Oreus was made using another sim I made, Oriya (Oreus is a char in another story that I'm writing but it's too complicate to translate to english), Julia is originally daughter of Bella and Mortimer Goth and a character in the Butterflies story). If this project goes well I have a second group to be adopted after this first one.

Let's see.

First let's take a look on them in their kids age.

image

Angelo redefines the word "adorable". I wanted to cover him with kisses. Poor Angelo, he never had a family, not even once. I'm an evil storyteller. But he have Eugene (sometimes).

image

Eugene looks handsome even if he is (let's say?)... 12. Only him will look this good at this age.

image

Poor Matt (former-Eduard). I remembered this "geometry issue". I remember when he born in my game that I thought he looked weird. He still is a weird kid but at least now I know he will be gorgious when he grows up.

image

Mello lost his long locks. And he looks weird and scary. I don't remember anymore about his history in my game, I think I modeled this sim. I don't recall to ever had seen him as a child. This is him as an adult:

image

Next.

image

Oreus is a surprise. First because his hair have a child's mesh. I didn't know that (I have too many hairs). Second because he looks very similar to what he will look like when adult. Cute. I love him <3

image

Julia looks like some EAxis default sim but I remember she was adorable, she conquered me at a first sight. I found an old pic of her as a teenager so you can take a look:

image

This was way before I added gazillions of downloads in my game, specially the default skins replacement.

image

Elena looks like herself even as a child. Well, I didn't removed the makeup (I was too lazy) so you can blame that.

image

And finally, Olinda, the victim. The only adult in a house filled with sim-bratty-children. She is a family sim and I plan to marry her with someone when the "experience" is over. Maybe after a second group of children. She deserves to have a family of her own (also her LTW is marry 6 grandchildren or something like this so I really need to give her a big family).

Now the rules:

1. Only the adult sim is playable.
2. You can only send a kid sim do one thing: homework, because I don't have that useful hack that automatically send the children to do homework.
3. There is a mini-oven in the house, so the kids can cook that small cake and don't starve to death.
4. There is also bookcases, the wooden picture frame (how is that called in english) to make paintings, there are 3 bathrooms (is a small building), one bed to each sim, a kitchen with almost the basic-cheap needs (no food processors), some bears, some toy boxes, that small table that came with FT, a medium TV. I think they will be fine.
5. The adult sim must cook, clean the house, can't have a job and have a limited budget of 20,000 simoleons.
6. No nannies, no maids, no repair man, you are on your own.
7. Nobody have skills yet.
8. No hack interference allowed.

Well, I hope the social services don't take all my children.
Stay tuned...

Kato's test - the devil made me do it.

I had to test Kato. Aren't you curious to know if Tarn is his true love? Maybe is the Ice King. Maybe is Smelly Adam.
Aren't you curious?
I was.

I teleported The Ice King, Kazui (because I wanted to know what Kazui is thinking too), Tarn, Smelly Adam and Stephan was already at Kato's house, visiting.  I turned the jealousy off just to be sure that a catastrophe would not happen. First I asked Kato to "scope room". Kato thinks that Tarn is the hottest cookie in the jar.

image

And everybody thinks that Smelly Adam stinks.

Then I asked Tarn to scope room. Tarn thinks that Kato is the hottest cookie.

image

And everybody thinks that Smelly Adam stinks.

Then I asked the Ice King's opinion. He thinks that Kato is the hottest cookie...

image

... and that Smelly Adam stinks.

Stephan thinks that Kazui is the hottest cookie. I even did the test again teleporting Alice to compare both and for some unexplained reason that only Stephan can explain, he thinks that Kazui is hot and Alice is not.

image

Smelly Adam thinks that Kato is the hottest cookie...

image

And everybody thinks that Smelly Adam stinks.

image

Poor Smelly Adam.
But don't feel sorry for him. He was all happy, pleased to talk to Kato and confide to him the biggest secret of his life!

image

He hates Tarn.
Kato was deeply amused.

I dismissed everybody but a sim who Kato is wanting badly to flirt. He has been pestering me with wants related to Stephan, he wants that Stephan becomes his best friend, he wants to flirt him, he wants, he wants, he wants.

image

I can't really deny anything to Kato, specially now that I must think about what to do with the Dragons, since Stephan seems to be more interested in Kazui than in Alice. I also need to think about the Ice King, because he loves Kazui but I think he is more crazy about Kato.

image

Gratuitous screenshot  of the Ice King in the hot tube (that he gave to Kato as a present after a date) just because he is gorgious. <3 <3

Also Kato is quite busy right now to have one more lover. He needs to focus on his career as a dancer.

image

He can't be a cabaret dancer for the rest of his life. I'm dying to see the next clothes in this career. Also I think Kato can help Samantha with that talk about bees and flowers and boys and boys. They are great friends.

image

The next event captured by our hidden camera didn't happened at Kato's place but at Dr. Frankenstein's place but I thought it would fit the subject of this thread. Somehow Smelly Adam and Tarn were in the welcome wagon at the new Dr. Frankenstein's house (the guy needed one, he was living in a parking lot with a fridge, a bed, a shower and a telescope. Naomi loves him, they can marry and have kids, he needed a house).

image

You saw this coming, didn't you?

image

Tarn won. He is in better shape. Smelly Adam was mumbling and harassing the others because of that. He wasn't happy at all.

image

Poor Smelly Adam, nobody likes him.

Next: Let's go talk to Samantha!

And: my butterflies go to Uni and apparently, Angelo is not mad at Eugene anymore because of Julia.

image

And: I went to the moroccan club at Sedona with Angelo and Eugene and apparently was "Single Gay Sims Men Nights Out". I was amused. Even the Count Vampire (whatever is his name) was there.

image

Stay tuned...

Michel's test... I made a big mess.

Okay so I had to try my friend's Marilyn suggestion to use the "scope room" interaction to discover if Michel was really interested in Samantha. The results are quite surprising.

(I can't believe I never used this before! But I have a good explanation: the name of the interaction makes no sense in portuguese, I think I never tried because I never figured what that interaction does!)

Just as reference, this is the adorable Kazui, Michel's current mate.

image

I went to Michel's house, it was breakfast time and I made Michel "scope room" with only the guys present.

image

Oh-oh. Michel thinks that Kalyam is the hottest cookie in the jar.

image

Kalyam is hetero. Michel have no chance.

Michel have pink hearts for Kazui and for Samantha. No red hearts, just pink hearts. He is not even 100/100 with any of them yet...

I summoned Samantha.

image

Michel completely ignored Samantha's presence. He is definitely not into girls.

image

Samantha, as a non-related note, thinks that Kazui is hot.

image

I think I need to explain to her about bees and flowers and boys with boys. I don't think she is following what happens.

We do it again.

Michel definitely ignores Samantha and think that Kalyam is hot.

image

Kazui quite agreed with him.

image

And so the Ice King.

image

... and the clueless Samantha still thinks that Michel is hot.

I dismissed Samantha, Michel went to work and I was thinking about what to do about when...

image

You know, I made the Ice King join this house because of Kazui. Kazui used to have a mate in my old Sedona but I could not find a single picture of him to discover who he were and after search in all my sims backups I could not discover who he is. My last resource would be reinstall the old hoods and check... The Ice King really loves Kato, he have 3 lightning bolts for him and red hearts but...  Kato is a very spoiled creature but Kato is already engaged with Tarn.  Michel never really had a chance to have a decent relationship with Eugene in my game before and Angelo have Chris and I know they were made to each other. It's a fact that teen Julia is already in love with Eugene but you know how sim teenager love is, it disappears when they grow old... there are so many handsome sims to Julia meet and maybe Michel could be really happy with Eugene at least for once... Eugene and Angelo are about to go to Uni and then they could meet Michel...

image

They look so cute together, don't you think?

image

...3 lightning bolts for each other and instant love when they kissed, pink and red hearts floating everywhere.

image

Michel wasn't pleased.

image

He can totally blame me. It was my fault. I did it. Kazui is completely innocent.

image

He is kind of mad at Kazui right now and wants to kill the Ice King but he accepted Kazui apologies and I think they can become friends again soon.

image

They really look cute together, don't you think?

OMG... Kato is going to kill me.

Stay tuned...
