2. Since itās summer and I donāt have much else to do, I decided to try my hand at an OWBC. Here are the bonuses and mini-challenges Iām attempting. (Keyword attempting.) -Base Game -Nightlife -Apartment Life -BoolProp Naming Scheme -One Bad Apple -The Golden Trio -Beyond Cheesy -Family Scrapbook -MOAR Aliens -Monster Mash This is starting off in college. Iām not keeping the rules right now, mostly because I didnāt go into it thinking Iād do an OWBC. I changed my mind later. Without further to do, letās meet the household. --->
3. Janna Granger, my foundress-to-be. Sheās an Ariesā7/9/4/4/5. Sheās currently a Family/Pleasure sim with the LTW want to become Education Minister.
4. Catherine Granger, Jannaās older sister. Sheās Pleasure/Family, wants 50 Dream Dates, and is a Cancerā6/4/4/4/6.
5. Delano Granger, Jannaās alien half-sibling. Heās a Popularity/Pleasure Virgoā10/1/10/3/10. He wants 20 Best Friends. Heās the āspareā Iāll be playing along for the Apartment Life Bonus.
6. Stella Terrano, from the college sim bin. Sheās a Knowledge sim and wants to Max 7 Skills. Sheās a Cancerā7/2/6/4/6.
7. Gordon Nott, BV townie friend of Janna. He goes by G. Heās a Family sim. Aquariusā1/4/5/7/6. He wants to Have 6 Grandchildren.
8. And finally, Shelia Gentry, childhood friend of Delano. Sheās a Romance/Pleasure Geminiā4/6/7/3/3. She wants to become a Rock God.
9. The first thing everyone does when theyāre dumped on the lot is hit the poker table. I have a feeling that the āDonāt Wake the Llamaā table isnāt going to get as much attention.
10. Yeah, yeah, I know it was seen from a mile away but my founder needs a spouse and G will give us genetic diversity.
12. Ah, I knew youād get along well too! By now youāre probably wondering if I can get more predictable. Most likely.
13. Yeah, thatās why you donāt burn the Pop-Tart, Del. How do you even do that? I think he gagged like five times.
14. I know this hasnāt been very spontaneous, but it will get there, I promise. Just got to get past the boring stuff first.
15. Oh crud. Del went to class and left the spaghetti on the stove, and naturally I forgot to put in a fire alarm. Ahhhā¦.
16. Whew, thank you G. Letās just hope youāll be as helpful back on our main lot after this.
17. I decided that since Iām going to do the Bad Apple & Beyond Cheesy bonuses that I want a Servo in the house. So Janna gets to slave away at the bench instead of making out with her boyfriend.
18. I have no idea why this made me laugh so hard. Shelia answered the phone. It was for Catherine, so I said, yeah, she was available but then realized she was in bed, so assumed that the caller would eventually hang up. Then Delano came and answered it again. See, itās not even that funny, but I just stared at the screen and laughed for five minutes straight.
34. G came back from campus at 3 AM to deliver the Greek House letter besides the entrance to the girlsā bathroom. Not the most conventional place, but I suppose it will do.
35. Shoot, itās almost time for final exams. What do they think they came to school for, an education?
36. They somehow passed their classes, so Shelia threw their first (and only, I just realized) toga party. Janna, with her 9 outgoing points, spun into PJsā¦.
37. And Delano with his one outgoing point into this. Thatās something new.
41. Aw, man, I knew I shouldāve sent the cow mascot away. He just tried the wolf whistle G, soā¦.
42. Bad memories all around! Hooray! Geez, now I have to try and patch this back up.
43. O_o ā¦.Despite how my sims may not favor that idea. If I was that cow, Iād watch my back.
44. Thatās very nice of you to autonoumsly āCheer Upā Shelia, Delano, but I think your sister needs it more. (Shelia was in the gold when he did this.... I donāt understand.)
45. I decided that even my founder is going to be a Grilled Cheese sim. Jannaās aspiration was low enough, for obvious reasons.
46. The first want she rolled was to make grilled cheese for G. :( However, if he doesnāt like Grilled Cheese, it isnāt worth trying to get them back together at this pointā¦.
47. He really is her perfect match! Congratulations, G, you get your girl back. Heās been frowning for days because she hasnāt been nearly as receptive to him as usual latelyā¦.
48. So a quick and temporary aspiration change is in order for G, so he can do thisā¦.
49. Hooray! Thank you, FreeTime! I changed him back to a Family sim a few days after this. He fit that aspiration much better.
50. Oh, great. One thing fixed, another problem created. The CleanBot is going off and everyoneās asleep.
52. Okay, maybe I understand the cow mascot more now. If your mom cut your hair like that, wouldnāt you act like a jerk and hide behind a foam mask? But still, get your filthy butt out of the bed.
65. Then, of course, things get crazy again. As you can see, Stella is suffering from the condition known as chess elbow. And she wants to get struck by lightning, so Iām hoping if this happens that itāll cure herā¦.
75. And since college is more than halfway over, Catherine proposes to her boyfriend as well. Shelia doesnāt propose, of course, since sheās a Romance sim.
86. Okay, Iāll stop boring you with my nerdiness. The only reason I mention her is that Iāve decided that Roxanne here is going to placehold for us.
87. The slap dance is performed so often around here that even the llama mascot knows it.
90. Another fad courtesy of G is the Chest Pound. Every morning they flood each otherās rooms and greet each other with it. And they do it every time they come back from class with someone.
93. Even though you stay in the background most of the time, Catherine, youāre still awesome.
94. Janna finally got the next lifetime benefits point to unlock āconjure grilled cheeseā. This is going to make my life lots easier.
95. If youāre an only child and have ever wondered what itās like to have a sibling, this picture pretty much sums it up.
96. Aww, man! Who left the TV dinner in the oven to go to final exams?! Now theyāre all gone, and of course I didnāt learn my lesson from the incident at the beginning of college and install a fire alarmā¦.
97. Catherine was the first back since sheās ahead an hour for some reason. I managed to peel her away from freaking out to call the firemen. By this point, it was raging so hard that another fireman came running out after Mitch Lawson from the firetruck. Never seen that before.
98. The next morning I had to buy like three new mirrors because, I swear, everyone and their dog needed a charisma skill point for the final semester.
106. More and more each day I appreciate this self-interaction..
107. When I had Catherine greet Roxanne the last day of college, she immediately performed the Chest Pound. I knew I made a good decision with this one.
108. Stella rolled the want for a Womrat cage and I love the little things, so I couldnāt say no. Although the way itās been going, you would think Janna was the one that rolled the want.
109. And Roxanne has graduated from a pledge to a full member of the householdā¦.
