Instant City
Household K,
Summer 2

2. - Hello and Welcome again to another episode of Instant City – a BaMC Challenge! Sooo… where were we? Oh right, we’re
still at L’école d’Eiffel, our Private School District we’re in the middle of building… and yes, building a ‘School District’ with
Community Lots, that were meant for an university, isn’t easy, because some of these lots are basically meant for the Uni
experience, not for making money or children/teenagers, and it doesn’t get easier by the fact, that I don’t have any kids
available so far to use the facilities… so I call it a work in progress for now, after all, we already have 2 toddlers ready to go
there later!... –

3. -… and now back to our current household K – the Pottery household…-
‘Does it even matter, what we started with? You’re distributing the Community businesses amongus without any
consideration what we originally set out to do, and it doesn’t give us any character at all…’
- Every single episode the same complaints – you want character? Fine, how about being nice to me? That would
characterize you as the ‘nice’ household, a big step forward! Well? –
‘…’
- Thought so… so lets get rid of the inventory clutter…-

4. -… pay the bills…-

5. -… and find a job in business, because we need about a hundred business districts to get the numbers I’m aiming for… oh
hey, we’re in luck, we found an opening – and that after only 3 days of waiting… - unfortunately, it’s the weekend, so we
only have one day left for work… -

6. -… so up to work…-

7. -… deal with the usual ‘donate or license talking Llamas’ Chance card…-

8. -… are lucky, earn 2000…-

9. -… and get all promoted to vice presidents…. Well, that was a short part for a change… so, guess, all that’s left is to acquire
some more business/school facilities and….-

10. -… wait…-

11. -… ohohoho! Another burglary! Our second burglary in Instant City! Great! One more, and we get another Law enforcement
opening…WEEEEEH!...-

12. ‘… *ehem* I would just like to tell you, that I called the police, because, you know – THERE’S A BURGLAR, FOR CRYING OUT
LOUD! Seriously, stop being so happy about it…!’
- So what? The bigfoot police will deal with it, no problem…-
‘ They can’t, they’re superheroes, and they’re battling the bigfoot villains currently … I only got the NPC police…’
- … oh well, the NPC police seemed competent the last time, it will be okay…-

13. -… and so the NPC Police arrived and…-
‘HEY!’
‘ *Ulp*… yes?’

14. ‘Please take care, lawful citizen, a burglary in progress has just been reported here in one of the upper apartments… I advise
you to leave the premise as fast as possible while I deal with the issue…’
- WAIT, WHAT??! –
‘You got it, officer..!’
-… b… bu… buh…?-
‘*Dumdedum*, so glad, these elevators exist, it would be completely too exhausting to run up these 3 stairs…it’s not like
the burglar would ever take the stairs down…’

15. ‘Hm… too bad… I’m sorry, victimized citizen, but the cat burglar has escaped… it must be an extremely cunning individual
with superb detection evading skills and state-of-the-art hiding technology… but do not despair, I will get to the bottom of
this, even if I never catch him… now do you know if there is a store that sells doughnuts? I could go for a few…’
- OUT! YOU DISGUST ME! –
‘Sir, am I hearing civil unrest out of your words?! I’m warning you, resisting an officer of the Law…!’
-…the doughnut shop is two streets down, officer…-
‘Yay!’
-… let’s get out of here, before she realizes, that there aren’t any doughnuts in Sims 2…-

16. -… so another school facility it is…-

17. -… this time it’s the Eiffel Café, again made Neberque223 from the late Sims2 Exchange…-

18. -… and it’s actually more of a restaurant again… which, with so many servos around, can take a looong time… so a ticket
counter again it is…-
‘Hey! Hey…!’
- … what now? -

19. ‘… I want to eat something, but I can’t sit down!’
-… you’re a servo… also, even if you want to eat, what’s stopping you from sitting down? Everything’s free! –
‘But I want to sit on that place in the corner, not on any other place, not even on the one next to it, despite the fact, that I
had to sit down there in order to scooch over to the one I want to sit on....!’
-… …. …. One moment…-

20. -… there! I moved the seats in a way, that both ends of the row can be reached from both sides…-
‘But I want to only sit on the middle one, and not scooch over from any other… *gone*!’
- *headdesk* -

21. -… okay, whatever – note to self, never again these seats, Eaxis screwed up the seating mechanic for these things
somehow… but okay, we reached Level 5 of the business again, money perks have been selected…-

22. -… so it’s time for the next facility…-

23. -… the Eiffel Cinema – of course, all movies are rated t for teens…-

24. -… and once again, the classic cinema TV screen by Olemantiker from the Sims graveyard comes to help…-

25. -… and the ticket machine… well, it makes sense here….-

26. -… so we’re busy selling tickets once more…-

27. -… sell a few drinks…-

28. -… play a few movies…-

29. -… and play some foot bag, till we reach level 5 …-

30. -… so it’s time for the next business…-

31. -… Neberque223’s corner of main street – this one was actually favorited by the time it was on the exchange… and originally
had a tower clock where the H&M Sign is now – it had to go, because there will be another clock on that corner, and two
clocks looked silly…-

32. -… anyway, the corner of Main Street comes as a full shopping mile, so teens don’t have to leave school to get everything
they need, like clothing…-

33. -… magazines and articles…-

34. -… groceries for cooking classes…-

35. -… coffee to go…-

36. -… art utensils…-

37. -… and even a traveling agency, for exchange students….-

38. -..okay, so let’s get this business mile started…-

39. -…get a silver register badge…-

40. -… and level 5… -

41. -… and a crème prize…-

42. -… and we’re back at the restaurant now, where some old coot demonstrates…-

43. -… that he is in fact smarter than a Servo…-
‘HEY!’
-… actually scooching around to the place he wants to sit…-

44. - And he even orders food – hurray! –
‘Would you like to order a hot date…?… plate, I mean plate…!’

45. ‘… and here’s your hot plate, sir…’
-… you know, I just realized, that neither dates nor plates make any sense here…-

46. ‘Oh sorry, sir, my bad… I forgot the plate – I gonna get a new one immediately!’
-… okay, restaurants are a glitch fest, seriously…-

47. -… still, we apparently still got it running, even getting tips for our delicious hot plates or whatever…-

48. -… even from Servos, but only if they don’t have to scooch…-
‘HEY!’

49. -… oh well, we reached level 10, so on to the next again…-

50. -… oh wow, a first candidate for our school it seems… well, young man, how do you like scho…-
‘I want beer!’
-… we’re sorry, no beer allowed for teens, we have to value our moral standards…-
‘This sucks! *Leaves*’
-… you weren’t even cool to begin with…-

51. ‘WHUT?! SAY THAT AGAIN, TO MY FACE!’
*Presses angry face against computer*
‘…ehr… hi mister… nice weather we have, right?’
- I’m counting to one. One…-
‘*runs away*’

52. -… so with already one candidate for the future school eliminated, we were still able to persuade everyone else to raise this
facilities rating to a 10…-

53. -… so it’s the corner of Main Street again… and I guess, that here the rating really is meant as a business level… kids need to
learn about spending their money wisely and carefully, after all, so the school is all about learning by doing…-

54. -… and while adults might be tricked into buying stuff they don’t need – can a bigfoot even wear jewelry? – our future
pupils should grow into responsible adults in terms of spending their money wisely at some point, as well as being
grounded into reality with a clear view of what will be important in life….-

55. -… and not like certain other people…-
‘… so basically, while my plan to find that Alien ended up giving my opponent another topic to dethrone me in my own
city…. and I couldn’t find the Alien after all…’
‘… ehrm yes, Professor, really stup… interesting… but you really shouldn’t reiterate the alien plot… rather focus on the gifts
the other household gave you and…’
‘Yeah, yeah… so the point is, that my plan on finding that alien didn’t just go far enough...’

56. ‘… so instead of using my space station to watch for flying coffee cups… I mean flying saucers….’

57. ‘… I will instead go to the Alien’s home coffee cup… I mean planet…. By the way, can I get a cup of coffee… for free, pretty
please?’
‘Oh right, you have this ‘I’m so rich, the game doesn’t recognize me having money anymore’ issue, Professor… here, this
one’s in the house, just…. Enjoy and shut up, Prof…’

58. ‘…mmmh, coffee… and once I get that Alien to pay the child support, my children will immediately reconcile with me and
then we drive out this traitorous Servo and everything will be swell…’
‘…. Uuuh, If I only hadn’t the same personality and 3 bolts for this idiot…’

59. -… and now back to our regular schedule of ranking up the school – Ranking 10, final money perks, time to go home…-

60. -… just one final look at the current stats…-
Population:
Playables = 179
Households = 53
Community Lots = 127+3
Business Districts = 6
SM = 179 x (1 [Starter]+1 [1st Bus.]
+ 30 [6 BD] + 25[130 Bus.] = 58)
= 10382

61. -… and we’re at the ‘Occupy Instant City’ stage again…-
‘Just for reminders: since we’re all occupying Instant City, which goes with future Mayor's or whatever Servo S-4’s plan – are
we now for or against Professor Disc?’
- Does it really matter…?-
‘…Not really…’
- See? But even if you are for him, do you think, he’ll notice what you do? –
‘… point taken…’

62. -… and so the moving in and out started…-

63. -… some final chance cards – another movie marathon hobby card…-

64. -… and we choose badly and loose the movies and have to pay 100 Simoleons…-

65. -… but still get promoted… -

66. -… and more chance cards, concerning bosses and their ugly pictures..-

67. -… loosing some enthusiasm…-

68. -… then another social hiking marathon…-

69. -… loosing enthusiasm there too..-

70. -… and Simtopia Ballet again…-

71. -… and loosing again money… *yawn*…-

72. -… and the fantasy football team is in peril…-

73. -… oh we win for a change, fascinating…-

74. -… and promoted too…-

75. -… and that’s it – 3 more households established this season, private school district further to conclusion, and one more
community slot unlocked… hmmm, now what should we place…?-
‘’10… 9…. 8….!’
- Huh? -
Households: 53+3
= 1 unowned Community
Lot unlocked

76. ‘….7…. 6….. 5….’
-…. Professor Disc? Is that you?...-

77. ‘ 4…. 2…. 1….’
- … I knew it…. Professor Disc can’t count to…-

78. -… 0! IGNITE!!!!! –
-… please don’t tell me, you’re doing, what I fear you’re doing, Professor…-

79. ‘HAHA! YES! I DID IT! ME! PROFESSOR DISC! ‘
-… yes, you did Professor…. Ladies and Gentlesims, I’m going out on a Limb here, but… Professor Disc, in an attempt to find
the Alien that knocked up his son has decided to fly to and land on the moon…!... That about right, Professor?–
‘ Precisely! In fact, I even ordered to lay out a transport network, so we’ll get to establish a colony there… that way it’ll be
much easier to extradite that Alien later and….-
- A small step for you, a giant leap for child support, I get it…btw, all thanks to Rflong7 for sharing this amazing terrain called
Moon Station….-

80. -… by the way, I like the name, Mare Momentum… because ‘Momentum’ could be translated from Latin to ‘Instant’… of
course, ‘Instant’ could be translated from Latin to ‘Instant’, but who cares… also like the fact, that you placed the Galileo
Station from Zarathustra at MTS here, even if it was originally a residential lot (now a hotel) and meant for Mars…-
‘Thank you… because while this Alien will pay, I want to accommodate him properly here and…’
- One question: why are you so sure, that the Alien comes from the moon, Professor? He might be a Martian, for all we
know, or come from the Sims 4’s Alien planet ‘Sixxam’, which I swear should be spelled ‘6 AM’ and…?...-
‘…ehrm… I actually hadn’t thought about that and…. and…. CURSES!!!!!’

81. -… and so another Plan by Professor Disc failed… but hey, Instant City has a Moon Colony now and it’s all thanks to child
support…!.... Well, since the race to the moon arose from 2 systems competing who’s the bigger jerk, it’s actually not that
bad of a reason…. Let’s just hope, we can keep the thing running, Instant City has barely an organization on the ground, and
now the moon…. Anyway, that’s it again, another episode of Instant City, a BaMC Challenge, another step reaching goals
while keeping out any story or character development…. I promise, one day, we will have that stuff again, just bear with
me….
Happy Simming! -
