Household R,
Fall 1

2. - Hello and Welcome back to Instant City – a BaMC Challenge… *Phew* already Household R now… there was a time I
though I never would finish even the First Fall of the city… I mean the autumn, not the Fall of… -
‚Get on with it!‘
- Your Tim the Enchanter impersonation always makes me smile…-
‚ Actually, that‘s a ‚ the old man from scene 24‘ impersonation…‘
-... Very well, let‘s go on…-

3. -… Todays apartment lot is once again made by itas84 at MTS.com and called Number 6 Bluewater Quays – and of course it
looks much nicer with CC… -

4. -… and… also take a look at TCO‘s inventory, as only a few servo template are left that need to be activated… your journey is
finally coming to an end… -
‚ Yeah, yeah, can I go now..?… at least that is the last time I have to move…‘

5. - … and once again, a Serva was activated that happened to have a Gold Flower Badge… -
‚Wooo… groovy…‘
‚groovy?‘

6. ‚… oh why should I care… these guys are all loonies…‘
-… Heh, I just remember… back in Household A, you …-
‚ *Sigh* Listen, I‘m not in the mood to turn this into another ‚Servoism‘ debate… after meeting so much of my own kind, I
get it now: we are just Sims in a metal suit and with a changed aging and motive bar, there is nothing special about this…‘
- Woah, that‘s like a 180-degree turn…-
‚ *sigh*…groovy…‘

7. - … and with TCO moving for the last time, it was also time to place the last unowned Community lot, since with Household
R, there were now 20 households in the neighborhood, this time a lot, whose name was basically program… -

8. -… the Club V, made by ambers_journey at MTS.com. This is actually the first lot in this neighborhood, that uses a lot size
(2x1), that isn‘t available in the normal game, so credit also goes to Mootilda‘s Lot Adjuster also on MTS.com and
subsequently also to the late Andi8104 who actually started the possibility of changed Lot sizes with his LotExpander…
thank you Andi, and thank you Mootilda for continuing the project! -

9. ‚ Aw, how touching…‘
- Oh, go away…-

10. -… so, with TCO gone, this Households topic will be – flowers! Yep, this time, everybody is going for Snapdragons sooner or
later… all, except one…-

11. - … namely Servo R-1 who – since we now have a community lot in the neighborhood, that counts as a ‚club‘ – will go for
a career … -
‚Woah, work? Not cool, dude…‘
- … in slacker, that got unlocked by placing a club. –
‚Sla…?.. *phew* woa, bro, you had me there for a moment…well, guess I can do a bit slacking off…‘
-Great – now go work on your Charisma…-
‚Wha…?... That‘s a drag, man…‘

12. - Now, while R-1 wasn‘t really eager to work for slacking off, he got the 5 Charisma points needed for Slacker rather
quickly, so it was time to work on the creativity… -
‚That sucks, man… I wanna slack, not…‘
- Mind you take a look at the others, ‚man‘? They are all busy working on their Flower badges, while all you have to do…-
‚But – that‘s flowers, man! You know, flowers… ya dig? Peace, man…‘
- … just put the paint on the frame…-

13. - … nice first try… it is even worth 5 Simoleons…-
‚Whut… this is art, Dude! It‘s heavy, man…‘
- Yeah, whatever, you have a ‚earn money‘ want, so sell it, we still have two creativity points to go…-
‚Not way, man, this pic…‘
*earns 5 Simoleons + 100 aspiration*
‚ Woaa…‘

14. -…. And once he had all 5, I had to let him slack off till morning so he could recharge… yeah, blocking the way out of the
apartment again… -
‚*recharge* grooooooovy…‘

15. - … After that, He could finally join the others with flower making… around this time, we finally got the first Badge with R-
2 getting a silver one… -

16. -… Tuesday then bills were paid… -
‚ Bah, bills… not cool, Bro…‘

17. - ….and another silver badge… -

18. - … and finally on Wednesday, a job opening in the slacker career appeared.. you‘re gonna be a gas station attendant for
now, R-1… -
‚Wooah… gotta get high on the fumes, Dude…‘
- … yes, do that… ‚dude‘… -

19. - …and since work didn‘t even start half an hour later, I had to buy a guitar, a drum set and then a guitar again to keep
him plat… -
‚Woa… mighty nice of ya, man…‘

20. -... Of course he got promoted to Convenience Store Clerk… -

21. -… and had to leave a bit later again… -

22. - … meanwhile, the others started to get zoned out again…-
‚Woa, so stoned…‘
- I said zoned, not stoned, but whatever… dang hippies…-
‚Groovy…‘
‚Groovy….‘
‚Groooooovy…‘
-…. I guess, we can count that as an evil dead quote…-

23. -… so finally, R-1 got promoted to Record Store Clerk, which is the last career that does not need any friends, which
means…-

24. … let‘s go to town… I mean the club… -

25. ‚…Radical, Dude…‘
‚…. Why do you speak so strange, Servofriend…‘
‚ Wooa… like weird, dude…‘
- A Serva with a sense of how to speak correctly in a household full of hippies? Amazing… -
‚Well ,nobody asked me if I wanted to be part of this… commune…‘
‚ Woa… like totally not cool man… ehr, gurl…‘
-… just go into the club, you two…-

26. -… and do whatever people do in a club… to be honest, I never was in one… pubs yes, but clubs…? … -
‚ Okay, then we will do the traditional jump-roping people do in a club all the time…‘
- … you‘re pulling my leg… -
‚No, really, that is what they are doing in clubs all the time…‘
‚Woa… like, totally, Dude…‘

27. -… yeah, totally… just go make friends now, we need 13 of them… okay, that is one… -

28. - …. But first, do a recharge before I forget again… -

29. - … okay, that is another one… -

30. ‚…Woa, like Hello, Dude… wanna be friends?‘
‚May I take your order, sir?‘
‚Woo… dude!‘
‚Sir?‘
‚I‘m totally gonna be a barkeeper, dude…‘
‚… Sir, this conversation ist pointless, if you don‘t order… wait, why am I on the side with the stools?‘
- ……. &§$§%§ me! I didn‘t realize that R-1 was barkeeping here, until I‘ve written all that text…-
‚…radical, Dude…‘

31. -… anyway, next friend… -

32. ‚Wooo… I can totally see your…. Chins from here… gurrrrl!‘
- … in other words, R-1 had danced for so long, that he learned how to bust-a-move… -

33. - … and another one… actually, most friends by now are Servos, they really have become the majority of people in the
neighborhood appearing on the Community Lots… -

34. - …. And another friend, human again…. -

35. -…. And she even promised that R-1 would get a raise in slacker soon… -

36. - …. Then a first date…-
‚Woo, babe… you‘re like really… woo, babe…‘
‚Thanks…. I guess… seriously, it ist a bit degrading, that our servo/servafriends are chosen simply by our… serial number…‘
- Sorry, but since you have Professor Disc‘s exact personality, you all have triple bolts, with each other, nothing beats that
for plat… also, dating somebody else would just result in a slapping-each-other- in -jealousy-feast…-
‚*sigh* oh well…‘
‚Woo, babe… you have like… real chins, babe…‘*gropes imaginary chins…*

37. -…. It still became a dream date though… -

38. -… and then we eventually reached 13 friends… sorry, got too bored to take pictures of all 13… now lets go home…-
‚ … great, and I forgot to pack my rock climbing gear…‘
-… You know, I could call you another Spider-taxi… -
‚… you do realize, that there isn‘t actually a spider car…‘
- Then how did you get down here in the first place?-
‚…‘
- … so for the time being, we‘re sticking with the idea of Spider-taxi… or rock climbing… -

39. - … well, so since there is still some time left till work starts again, let‘s make some more snapdragons… -

40. - ….but first, let‘s get over with the dating gift… you‘re gonna place it at the same place a few dozen times, won‘t you?
Stupid animation… -
‚Woo… like weird, Dude…‘

41. -… meanwhile, more Silver Badges… -

42. - … and finally another Gold… also, Outing rewards, like a DJ booth… -
‚RADICAL!‘

43. - … and then R-1 got zoned too… -
‚WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….‘

44. -…and another Gold… -

45. - … and another one… sooo many Snapdragons we‘ll have… -

46. - … and with R-1, finally everyone had a Gold Flower Badge now… -

47. - … so it‘s back to work finally… -

48. - …. And Chance Card! - Servo R-1 is ordered by his boss to get a band for the store. The first two bands, the ‚Common
Llamas‘ and the ‚Wild Machos‘ , who appeared for audition, are already bearable, so Servo R-1 decides to choose one of
them, then he can spend the rest of the day by sorting the stores record collection in the alphabetical order of the
drummers surnames.- okay, that is really slacking off… -
‚ totally, Dude…

49. - Well let‘s see how it goes… *ahem* : Short after the Common Llama have accepted Servo R-1‘s offer, they get a contract
with a recording studio. Their Debut record is an instant sell, and Servo R-1 can pat himself on the back for ‚discovering‘
the Common Llamas. Servo R-1 earns 2 Charisma Points.
‚Grooovy…‘

50. -… and at the end of the day, another promotion followed… -

51. - … and…. Aw, not… not you again, the creepy apartment townie from Household Q… -
‚It got me mentioned again, doesn‘t it?‘
- Yeah well, whatever… just let R-1 pay the Thursday bill and then be on your merry way…-
‚… I will, but first…‘

52. ‚… I‘m tending your lawn…‘
- PUT- THESE-CLIPPERS-AWAY! –
‚ I want a role in this challenge..‘
‚NO!‘
‚You can‘t stop me..‘
- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…-
‚ Okay, I go, but stop Screaming…‘

53. -… finally, the creepy apartment townie from household Q went off, and R-1 could go to work again… and Chance Card:
Halloween is coming, and Servo R-1 is making his own costume. He is unsure though, if he should wear it at work on
Halloween too. If his colleagues wear costumes as well, it would be funny, but otherwise Servo R-1 would attract attention –
bad attention! Should Servo R-1 wear his costume for work? – I think you shouldn‘t…-
‚TOTALLY, DUDE!!!!‘
-… this won‘t end well…-

54. - … or not: Servo R-1 decides to leaves his costume at home – what? –
‚Duuude… I forgot my costume… not cool, man…‘
-… as he arrives at work, he sees that everyone else has his costume on. Servo R-1 attracts attention, because he is one of
the few Sims without a costume and loses some enthusiasm in arts and crafts…-
‚ Aw, man…‘

55. - … well, he still got promoted… -

56. -… okay, so with more time to pass, some more flowers were made… R-1 eventually earned 5000,- with making flowers…-
‚Woo… soooo…. Smell…‘

57. - … and back to work again… -

58. - … and once more promoted… -
‚Woo… I must be like Level 16 by now…‘
- actually, it‘s 7…-
‚OoOoH… no way, dude…‘
-Yes, way…-
‚Sucks, dude… *kicks trashcan*‘

59. - … oh for… pick that up! –
‚… aw man… why can‘t the landlord do it…‘
-… because it will be hours before he comes, and I don‘t want you complaining over roaches by then…-
‚ You‘re like, totally uncool, man..‘
- I‘m not! *sigh* go make some flowers, if you want, I don‘t care…‘

60. -… so more snapdragons were made… -

61. - … and then winter actually rolled in… totally forgot that, all this ‚groovy‘ speaking must have distracted me…-
‚Didn‘t you write that, after you played it?‘
-… stop ruining this last pic, please…-
‚Also, I just realized, that suddenly I stopped speaking ‚groovy‘ talk…‘
- D‘OH…forgot… quick, say something, groovy, I‘m out of ideas…! –
‚… ehr, all your base is long to us?‘
- Close enough… see you next time for the last household S – bye! -
