Household O,
Fall 1

2. - Welcome back to.. Oh, sorry…. Sorry, may I… *shove* trample* … *ahem* Hello and Welcome back to Instant City, a BaMC
Challenge… and it‘s gotten pretty crowded in the hood by now, so we actually had to rearrange some of the buildings to get
them all together… -

3. - … like our newest apartment building, which is right now placed across the street to Professor Discs Home…. Hello
Professor! Today‘s Apartment lot is the NCI - Purple Lining Apartment Tower by d_dgjdhh (yeah, I get that too if I brush my
fingers over the tabs) at MTS.com – built without a single piece of CC, so it had to go in here… -

4. -… now one thing, that I first noticed when moving in, was the fact, that everything seemed to go slower, or as if the game
had trouble of processing the lot… I thought that was simply because of what I usually experience, once the hood exceeds a
certain number of Sims, or perhaps because this apartment lot had 13 apartments… -

5. -… so I actually left and reentered the game and lot a few times, hoping that it would pass… -

6. - … however it didn‘t… kind of a downer for me… oh, by the way, with the O-Household established , one job in architecture
and one in education was unlocked, so that will be what this household will center around… -

7. - … so, I was about to use a backup and instead place a different Apartment, when I realized, that all the other apartments
worked fine, and only this specific lot was showing the error… -

8. - … so I typed in ‚boolprop testingcheatsenabled true‘ … -

9. - … and guess what, this error popped immediately up: apparently the climate controller this apartment lot came with –
from what I‘ve gathered, the climate controller is one of those invisible objects that controls the weather from Seasons –
was broken. I used the delete option – and from that point on, time passed again with the normal flow… also, after
reentering the lot later we had normal climate, so the controller regenerated – just for everyone to know, who wants to use
this lot too… -

10. -… anyway, looking for education openings produced one on Tuesday… -

11. - … and right after that, one in architecture as well… -

12. - …so we‘re back to skilling… -

13. - … and then we‘re out for some dating again.. -

14. -… by the way, it‘s only O-4 and O-4 this time, because nobody else has a job… and while there are still some options how to
make extra money, I stayed with the job money for now… -

15. - … so next on the list : make some friends... -

16. - …. More friends… -

17. - … more… -

18. -… and more.. -

19. - … moooooore - we actually befriended all three servos in the pictures, but switched to off to… -
‚ You know, it ist a bit degrading, simply acknowledging our friends as mere numbers for a friendship count….‘
- … oh really? Tell me their names and I will give everyone an honorable mention immediately. –
‚ Ehr… well…. Ehrm… there is this Serva with the funny hat there… and another Serva and these two… and I think, there was
a woman with blonde hair… or was it brown… or was that an ugly man…. ?‘
- exactly. -

20. - So while O-4 tried to remember the name of any of her friends, we did some Outings, which brought Skill points… -

21. - …. And another friend too…-

22. - … and more friends… -

23. - …. And more… -
‚ I think…. I think I remember now… the Serva with the funny hat ist named R-2, right?‘
- This is household O, we aren‘t even close to R yet… -
‚… oh.‘

24. - … and more friends… -

25. - … and that‘s it, 13 friends, we‘re set for the education and architecture career, just need one more date for platinum…-

26. - … Servo O-4 starts the career climbing by going to work, Serva O-4 follows later… -

27. - … getting promoted to teacher aide first… -

28. - … and Servo O-4 follows with Brick layer. –
‚ holy cash registrar in heaven, does this guy never stop…?‘
- I heard that! –
‚ So you will stop?!‘
- Of course not, don‘t be ridiculous! -

29. ‚… and if we go on strike?‘
‚How?‘
‚dang.‘
- Less talkie, more chessie… Logic points, here we come – and I just realize, this is probably the first time, an equipment
outside the apartment is used for skilling…-
‚ Wow, if that‘s worth mentioning… how boring could have been the other households…?‘
- HEY! It wasn‘t that boring… well, not much more, anyway…-

30. - Oh, Outing rewards! Well, how about you say your friend thanks? –
‚Ehr… thanks, thank you very much…‘
- Nonono, you have to adress her at least with her name…!-
‚Ehr…. Ehm…. Uuuh…‘
- exacctly. -

31. - … Eventually, Serva O-4 had to go back to work, so Servo O-4 finished his logic skill alone…-

32. - … and also paid the bills… -

33. - … while Serva O-4 was promoted to Substitute Teacher.-

34. - … then maxed her logic skill as well…hm, that went rather fast… hopefully not because of the Outdoor apartment skilling…
oh never mind… -

35. - … and another day spent with working… and chance cards for the umpteenth time…: Serva O-4 is on lunch break – no
comment - and decides to play a videogame to relax. The boss comes over, sees the video game and asks what it is.
Should Serva O-4 show him the game or try to hide it? –
‚… How can I hide it, if he‘s already seen it? Oh well, let‘s play hide and seek…‘

36. - … her boss probably wouldn‘t like that she is playing videogames at work, so Serva O-4 quickly acts as if she is working.
Her Boss admires her enthusiasm, and Serva O-4 receives a bonus. –
‚ *Phew*‘

37. -… Servo O-4 also received the same chance card… -

38. - … but unfortunately: his boss probably wouldn‘t like that he is playing videogames at work, so Servo O-4 quickly acts as if
he is working. The boss looks closer and realizes what Servo O-4 really does. He’s more angered over Servo O-4’s lie than
the actual gaming and keeps his entire salary for today. –
‘ D’OH!’
-Oh, don’t worry…-

39. -… you‘re getting promoted and a bonus anyway… -

40. - … and Serva O-4 as well… -

41. - … and if we get the Charisma high enough… -

42. -… respectively the creativity… -

43. - …. And make sure, to recharge in time before going to work… --

44. - … and avoid bad outcomes for chance cards like this one: It is Serva O-4‘s utmost desire, to impress the school board with
her pupils, and the City‘s Science contest seems to be the perfect opportunity for that. Two projects of her pupils are
especially well-made: Harry Mueller‘s Modell of hot chocolate getting brewed in a volcano and the holographic Gelatino-
projector by Susi Sauber. Both projects are original and way above the average elementary school niveau, but Serva O-4 can
only send one pupil to the contest. Which one should it be?
‚ Can‘t I just sent one, presenting both?‘
- No, now choose. -

45. - … as much as Serva O-4 likes hot chocolate (…), especially the volcanic one, she realizes, that the holographic gelatino
projector by Susi Sauber has the better chances – by the way, did they mean a model or a real volcano…?... probably the
latter…. Susi Saubers Projector becomes immediately the center of interest at the Science Contest. Everyone wants a taste
from the tasty and healthy gelatin. Under the visitors are also several company representatives, and it only takes a short
time, till the Pleasantville Gelatin-Company offers Susi a generous amount of money for her project. Serva O-4 also gets a
small share – 760 Simoleons! -

46. - … and a promotion to High School teacher… oh boy, High School…. it was nice knowing you Serva O-4… ;) –
‚ Wh… What?‘

47. -… of course, Servo O-4 got also promoted, and can go immediately back to work… -

48. - … and got promoted to architects apprentice.-
‚ Are we done yet?‘
- Why always so impatient, can‘t you at least say hello to your colleague? –
- ‚ We always bring colleague‘s back home, and you never were interested in… oh.‘

49. - Yes, it is Serva H-3 from Household H, who ist also an architect… ah memories… -
‚ Wow, he‘s worse than I remembered him… did he also call you useless?‘
‚ What? Wait a… does that mean, he...? THIS §$%§%“§$...‘
‚Oops, look at the time… I better switch you both off now…-
‚ §$%%$§“… *switch off*‘
- … and we‘re talking about that next rotation, H-3…-
‚ WAAAAAAAAAAA…!‘
-… tell you what, they‘re right, I am an… never mind…-

50. - … anyway, being switched off, all that was left was to wait for winter… I wonder how long it will take this time… Saturday or
sunday… -

51. -… MONDAY? NOW IT‘S MONDAY? Okay, I give up… how does this season thing work? On a lottery system? Oh well, chapter
over… see you hopefully next time? –
‚ you‘re getting increasingly annoying…‘
‚word…‘
- Aw come on… after 16 households, give me a break… but apologies anyway… bye! -
