Instant City
Household N,
Fall 1

2. - Hello and Welcome back to Instant City, a BaMC Challenge, and another household is established on the island…-
‚ Don‘t forget to say how boring it will be and how you‘re now wallowing in your own shame…‘
- Heh, joke‘s on you, because this time, it actually gets a bit more interesting again…-
‚How‘s that?‘
- Oh you‘ll see, you‘ll see… -

3. -… Now todays apartment building will be ‚The Zone‘ again by itas84 at MTS.com … -
‚ Again without CC?‘
- Yes, it can actually feel really fulfilling, replacing stuff and putting up Wallpaper on empty spaces…
‚You forgot the fences at the front, there are some fence lights just floating in the air…‘
- … yeah, well, so I might have screwed up a little… -
‚ a little…‘
- Shut up.-

4. - … and after some bird watching – seriously, what‘s with Sims and immediately bird watching once moving in? … -
‚ Have you chosen your apartment yet?‘
‚Oh, a vulture…‘
‚WHAT?!‘
‚ No, I meant the bird… also, no I haven‘t, because I‘m still waiting for the Landlord… but since you here now, boy, can you
look where he or she is? You can‘t miss them, they are all grey haired Coots or hags…‘
‚…‘

5. - … so after sorting out the misunderstanding with the young Landlord – again -, we activated our new Servos and…
HOLY… Gold Flower Badge on the very first try – and just to avoid any misunderstandings, N-1, you – have – no – nose,
so you can‘t have allergies… -
‚… I could rust if I water them…‘
- *groan*-

6. - …also, N-1‘s Servafriend N-1 has a Gold Toy Badge… too bad you weren‘t activated in the last household.. –
‚ So what are we doing instead…‘
- I‘m coming to that… -

7. -… let‘s get the rest online first and… another Gold toy badge? What‘s with the Competence all of a sudden, usually it‘s
bronze, bronze, silver, bronze, silver again… -
‚… blablabla, I‘m bored, I‘m gonna do rope-jumping autonomously now… *thump* *thump* thump*‘
- Hey, that‘s a good start, the athletic stuff, because you‘re going to do that for a long time… -

8. - … because, since with the N household we are now 16 households strong in this neighborhood, it‘s time to place
another unowned Community lot, which will be the soccer stadium by CC Designs or simply Charisa1114 atMTS.com.
It is a 6x5 Lot, has a worth of 370.339 Simoleons and houses a wide array of all kinds of fitness equipment and sporting
goods, so – you guessed it – it hereby unlocks the athletic restriction. –
‚Why didn‘t you use the Football stadium, it looks good too!‘
- Yes, but unfortunately the CC goal posts for football can‘t actually be used, while the Eaxis soccer goals can… too bad Eaxis
never bothered with trying to build working football animations… -

9. - … anyway, it seems everyone in the household is pumped up to get into the athletic career, since everyone wants to get
the job… which is probably, why it doesn‘t show up, I‘m suspecting that there is some kind of code in the game that says ‚if
there is a career want for a certain career, said career should not appear‘ or so… -

10. - … but let‘s not dwell on that, instead let‘s go with the usual routine: for a warm –up, snapdragons… -

11. - … then some fitness (also please disregard the rain alarm on the screen, it just pops up whenever it wants… also also, it
was a gloomy sunday, should anybody wonder about me playing Sims 2 in the morning… *whistles* )… -

12. - … though we ran into a small problem… -
‚Oh, such a nice smell…‘
- GET BACK ON THE FITNESS EQUIPMENT! THAT‘S THE THIRD TIME YOU JUST GO UP TO SMELL THE ROSES… ehr,
Snapdragons… yes, they got up again and again, it really took a while to get them down again… perhaps the Snapdragons
were a reason because of all the maxed stats, so I took them to another room for the time being… -

13. - … okay, so after doing fitness for an entire night and day, everyone got a bit exhausted, though unlike Sims energy, Servo
Power doesn‘t go down by constant training. However a quick recharge inside – yep, locked them up again - took care of
that… -

14. - … and then – since athletes have to be charismatic beyond belief… seriously? – a mirror room was set up, so everyone
could show themselves from their best side… also, here the snapdragons worked without breaking the concentration, if
that had been the case with sporting equipment, so we made a few more… -

15. - … so after practicing throughout the night…

16. - … we finally got an opening in the athletic career, as a Sports Mascot… ah, come on, don‘t we get at least a bit higher
level, like 2 or 3 ? Oh well, so the Instant City Servo Sports team… -
‚ GO, I-C, I-C, GO…!‘
-… all became Sports Mascots, which means, that there should be no player on the field… I don‘t think, this season will be a
success in any way… -

17. - …. So in order to avoid the upcoming disaster, everyone gave their best to train some more… -

18. - … but to put their abilities to the test, it was time for a bit outdoor practice… -

19. - … unfortunately, all athletes tend to be a bit … hormone-driven… -
‚ HEY! Is that somehow a take accusing us of doing drugs?‘
-… well you do have snapdragons, which kinda…-
‚ You‘re just jealous at our physical fitness and uncanny attractiveness, you… Couch potato…‘
- … shut up..-

20. - … okay, so I guess, dating can count as some kind of training, especially the smooching… -

21. -… but just to keep face, we‘re going to do some real exercising – by the way, the pay as a private trainer sucks, especially, if
the respective Sim is a loser… -

22. - …. I mean, look at this guy, he trained for about 10 minutes, and is already crying about the burn… while Servo N-4 and…
wait , is that Michael, one of the Angelos or Joshua Bigfoot? … in any case, they are currently training for the Iron Man
competition, it seems… -

23. - … oh anyway, everyone is ready and hyped now to go to work… -
‚GO, I-C, I-C, GO!‘
- yeah, I see…-

24. - .. And ah, chance cards, the perfect excuse for having a story without having a story… unless it is that already appeared
in earlier chapters, but let‘s try again: On his way to Lunch - … I don‘t bother anymore…- , Servo N-2 twists his right
ankle (…) on the stairs. The pain (…) is bearable, but Servo N-2 is unsure, if he should still participate in the charity hike
this afternoon. What should he do?.. Of course, a true athlete will bite his teeth and do all for Charity… -
‘ I don’t have teeth, and I won’t – because an athlete’s body is his capital, and I’m not letting this go to waist… ‘
- The children, man, think of the children…-
‘ Children? I haven’t seen a single child on this island so far…’
-…. You’ll regret this… -

25. -… though unfortunately, not now… Always listen to your body! While the others are on their way, Servo N-2 uses the
opportunity to talk with his boss about the plans for the future months. He makes some smart comments, and persuades his
boss , that he is ready for the next stage on the career ladder. Servo N-2 gets promoted! –

26. - … next card: The SimCity Heroes are looking for a successor for her popular mascot ‚Dummy‘, because the current
Dummy has decided, to continue his studies in medicine. Servo N-1 is suggested, but since Dummy is leaving the
spotlight for now, Servo N-1 might have the opportunity, to put the mascot he‘s currently portraying, the SimCityLlama,
forward and make it popular instead.
‚ This card is all wrong – it‘s the InstantCityLlama, and dang it – I will make it the new brand name of the team!‘
- … Not, you won‘t. –
‚Wha… why not?‘
- Because you don‘t have a Llama costume, you Dummy as Servos… but you are a Dummy, soo…-

27. -… Finally, nobody is gonna tip out liters of Cola over Servo N-1‘s oversized Llama head, because he gets out of this costume
and takes on the role of the all-popular mascot of the Sim City heroes. As Dummy, Servo N-2 can now make up his own
slogans and gets a new behind. Servo N-1‘s ascent is honored with 1 body, and 1 creativity point. –
‚ Bah! I could have done it with the Llama…‘
- … of course… Dummy… -
‚HEY!‘

28. - … okay, same chance card for Serva N-2 … -

29. - … and same result for choosing Dummy… -
‚Ehr… actually, the card gives ‚Schnulli‘ as the name of the mascot…‘
- Yes, but ‚Schnulli‘ comes from the German word for ‚Schnuller‘, which means ‚Pacifier‘ in American English… or ‚dummy‘
in British English, and I like that… ‚Dummy‘…-
‚HEY!‘

30. - … Of course, everyone got eventually promoted, … Servo N-2 just beat them to punch via chickening out at the charity
hike… -
‚ HEY!‘
- You don‘t need to yell constantly, we‘re on the same planet… -

31. - … anyway, as it can be seen, I sent everyone straight to the Fitness equipment then… -

32. -… so everyone could get their six-battery-pack… oh come on, N-1 you‘re the last who got her 10 body points… -

33. - … and after that, the Charisma got upped to 10… I still don‘t see why athletes need Charisma… -
‚For the Ads of course, coming right from the Abs…!‘
- … one more reason to hate you… -

34. - .. Oh by the way, since I play at speed 3, catching the star skilling animation mid air ist really a challenge for itself…. –
‚Oh please no, I don‘t derserve all this price money, give it to the orphans and homeless… also, do not forget to click the
banners on my new website Iamagenerousathlete.com if you want to be a winner…!‘

35. - … so eventually, everyone got all the skills needed to be an athlete… or slime bag… -
‚HEY!‘

36. - … now all that was left was to get connections… I mean friends.. Here’s our first one… and I think, this networking right
now was about getting promoted next time…-

37. - …friend Nr.2… -

38. -… some dating in between… -

39. - … then Nr. 3… some magical help in a game will probably be needed… cheaters… -
‚HEY!‘

40. -… Nr. 4… okay, an elder punker in military suit… that‘s bizarre on so many levels… -

41. - … Nr. 5… hey, it‘s Vonnie/Witchie ! Haven‘t seen you in a while! -

42. - … also, Link showed up… yep, they might not like each other, but a friend is a friend I guess, … Nr. 6… -

43. - … Nr. 7… and since It‘s becoming too boring to count, let‘s say 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 and get on with it…-
‚What was so interesting with counting them to begin with?‘
-… because. Now go dating again… -

44. - …. So everyone plat now, let‘s go home …. -

45. - … he, by the way, look at this nice color contrast with the Dusk & Dawn mod, you look like terminators now… well, silly
terminators but…-
‚ You know, we‘re slowly getting the suspicion, that you don‘t like athlete‘s…‘
- NOT TRUE, NOT TRUE… *mumbling*unless they appear on TV and make me self-actualize… -
‚‘What was that?‘
- Oh, go to work, will ya? -

46. -… The coach asks Servo N-4 , to transport a piano for one of the more experienced Players of the team. Servo N-4 isn‘t really
interested to do labor, but on the other side he could score with the coach and the other players. Should he agree or try to
find an excuse? –
‚ OH, I would love to help, but unfortunately I made an appointment with my eyebrow specialist to look better for the
toothpaste commercial I’ll be starring in…’
-… you didn’t really search hard for that one…-

47. - …. Servo N-4 tells the coach, that he has muscle cramps again – that‘s not better either – and needs therapy and additional
training, to be ready for the next game against the Red City Hammers. The coach understands and orders professional
movers to do the job. For his brilliant excuse, Servo N-4 earns 2 Logic points. -

48. - … and the same for Serva N-1 … -

49. - … and apparently using the same silly excuse still counts as smart….-

50. -… and promoted again… -

51. - … and we still had a bit time on Saturday, so one more promotion is it – oh it‘s the charity hiking card again… lemme
guess, you‘re gonna sit that one out too? –
‚Nope, I‘ll go – only to show you, that I am a better man – ehr, servo, than you are..!‘
- Wow, that‘s mighty generous of… wait, you‘ll be getting promoted anyway, and there‘s not enough time to send you again
on… oh whatever… -

52. - Servo N-1 decides to ignore his pain for the duration of the hike. The event becomes a complete success, all her colleagues
are there, and the atmosphere is great. Servo N-2 feels great, and his fitness enthusiasm grows!... Hurray… I guess. -

53. -…-
‚ Something the matter?‘
-… why hasn‘t it become winter yet? It‘s supposed to be on Saturday… oh… no… -

54. - yes, this time… it became winter on Sunday… *urgh*… so I basically threw away a potential promotion card in the wind
with the charity hiking… -
‚ Hehe, so you are constantly bubbling about charity, but when something like this happens.. ‚
- … yeah , yeah, whatever… bloody weather… anyway, that was the athlete household, next time, things will get
educational, see you and good bye! -
