Boolprop's Easter 2020 Challenge

1. A Sims 3 Pre-Made Makeover Challenge

2. Welcome to my Sims 3 Pre-Made Makeover Challenge! This is an Easter event on
Boolprop.net and I thought I’d give it a try. I’ve spent the last few days playing
through the pre-made I chose and I am actually liking it. I never thought I would but
the more time I spent with the family, the more I wanted to continue playing them. The
pre-made I chose is pretty well known if, like me, you came from playing Sims 2 and
went to Sims 3 when it came out. I always did wonder how and where they lived before
they were placed in Pleasantview…now I do.
My story for them was more of a spur of the freewill moment that I came up with as I
watched how they went through day to day life. Also I never plan out a story before I
write it, it’s always done on the fly. It just works for me that way, too much planning
and I get tripped up on the details and then get stuck, often I give up if I get to that
point so I stopped planning things and just let them happen. Of course there were some
things I DID plan but they just happened to be what I needed for the story at the time.
Anyway, you’ll see.

3. Some of you may know me, others may just know my family. We’ve been in Sunset
Valley for three generations and are one of the founding families of the town. I am the
current generation, my name is Mortimer Goth.

4. This is my father, Gunther Goth. He’s a CEO of the DooPeas Corporate Towers here in
town and he’s been living here since my grandparents settled on the highest hill in
town. They wanted to overlook the town from high up, it has a great view of the sunset
in the evenings too.

5. And this is my mother, Cornelia Goth. Her maiden name is Crumplebottom and she has
a sister, my aunt Agnes. According to the town records, my parents never officially
married and my mother only took father’s last name because his parents insisted on it.
My mother also doesn’t work, she stays home with me.

6. My grandparents on both sides are buried here on the property as well as someone else
named Lolita Goth. I’ve wondered who she is because she doesn’t appear on my family
tree anywhere and father doesn’t know either, or he’s just not telling me who she is.
Who was she? And why does no one talk about her?

7. One good thing about our house’s location is that I can get a clear view of the night sky and even
the far off places along the coastline of Sunset Valley, like Riverview. I’ve never been there
though. I like the lighthouse when dusk approaches, they light it up and it looks nice on the
ocean. I like science and when I grow up I think I might want to be a Creature-Robot Cross
Breeder, that sounds like it could be a cool job to have!

8. When I’m not on the roof looking for stars, I’m here talking to my best friend in the
whole world, Bella Bachelor. She lives in town and has an older brother named Michael.
He’s a teenager so we don’t see each other at school much. I don’t have any siblings, I
guess my parents only needed one kid.

9. Bella comes over to my house more because she says she likes how big it is. I don’t tell
her that it’s haunted by my grandparents and the mysterious Lolita Goth because I
think it would scare her. She’s also Artistic like me so we can talk about a whole bunch
of art together. And she’s Lucky like me too, we have so much in common.

10. I think we’re meant to be together, when I’m older I’ll make her my girlfriend and we’ll
be the envy of the whole town. But for now I’ll just win at pillow fighting.

11. My family isn’t the only founding family here in Sunset Valley, there’s also the
Landgraabs. My parents don’t associate with them because they say Malcolm’s parents
are too “sunny” for them, I don’t know what that means. Malcolm is a big nerd
though, everyone in class says so. And all he wants to talk about is homework.

12. I think I get why they call him a big nerd now. I’m done my homework and he’s still
talking about it. There’s this other girl in my class who likes Malcolm though, Darlene
Bunch. They are what my parents called “poor” and I’m not supposed to talk to the
poor kids.

13. I told Malcolm my house was haunted, since everything gets all weird here when
there’s a full moon out. He looked nervous about it but said he wasn’t scared.

14. I told him I’d show him the graves but then he said he had to go home because it was
dark out and his parents wanted him back before the street lights came on. He’s scared;
he didn’t want to see the graves in my backyard. Chicken. I live with them every day
here.

15. When I was talking about my aunt earlier I didn’t say that she moved back in with us because
mother insisted on it. She didn’t want her sister out there all alone with the Crumplebottom family
fortune. She was worried someone would take advantage of her and steal the family’s money. She
tried to tell my mother that was not the case and she knew what she was doing…then she started
seeing a married guy named Thornton Wolff.

16. I guess mother was wrong, Aunt Agnes seems to really like him and is always telling
us how he doesn’t like his wife Morgana and wants to leave her. I’ve heard my mother
and aunt fighting about it, saying that’s exactly what a gold digger WOULD say if
they found out Aunt Agnes had money. But now that my birthday is coming up and
I’m going to be a teenager, I’m starting to understand more around here.

17. I guess my aunt has more reason to see Thornton now, I have a little cousin on the way
apparently. Father has firmly said that Thornton will NOT be moving into this house
once the baby arrives, and for once my parents actually agree on something. Aunt
Agnes wasn’t happy with that but she really had no place to go otherwise so she had to
accept it.

18. I said that I would make Bella my girlfriend when I got older didn’t I? Well apparently
some peasant named Miraj Kennedy-Alvi thought he could steal MY Bella! The nerve! I
made sure he knew the error of his ways, Bella is mine.

19. Bella saw things my way and she let that peasant know she was breaking it off. I mean, I’m rich
and famous and who’s he huh? I don’t care that I made an enemy out of the peasant, he can’t
touch me. He knows it would be social suicide if he tried to take on one of the founding families. I
never thought that my family name would come in handy because all is fair in love and war. And
her parents approve too, who wouldn’t huh?

20. Awkward first kisses aside, at least the full moon was out and it was especially
romantic. Bella can always practice her kissing with me, I can teach her all she needs to
know. I’m Ambitious and I’ll make sure she progresses well as time goes on because
practice makes perfect doesn’t it?

21. One thing I probably won’t do again is an eating contest. If my parents saw me they’d
be so disappointed in me. But sometimes you just have to get out there and show the
town who’s the boss…

22. I got caught egging Miraj’s house because they all happened to come home at the exact time I was
there. It was at 5 am though so why are they coming home so late? Anyway, this is a black mark
on my spotless record personally. Officially, it was stricken from the public knowledge. Having
my family’s money and clout behind me it prevented this from appearing on any kind of public
record.

23. Aunt Agnes caught me coming in though, I got a scolding and a grounding but thanks
to father it didn’t take. I wasn’t planning on having a party but this incident made sure
I would never have one at all afterwards.

24. Yes, yes I know father told me not to associate with the poor people in town and
normally I wouldn’t but this happened to be a social studies project and I was paired
with Darlene Bunch. I also found out that she’s had a crush on me for a while now even
though she was dating Malcolm…it’s hard being so rich and good looking. I pity her
though, she knows I’m not in her league.

25. Her house looks like the 70’s threw up in here. Pea soup green and harvest yellow
EVERYTHING and the paneling... I’m going to need some eye bleach after this and
probably a nice, long shower too. The dog smell is overwhelming in here and this is
supposed to be the kitchen where food is prepared too.

26. At last, it’s prom night. I am taking my gorgeous Bella to it in her new Loli-goth dress
and white boots. She is perfectly suited to be my prom queen in that outfit. Father’s
bees even behaved while Bella was here, he’s taken a shine to alchemy as of late and he
wanted to harvest his own honey and beeswax for it.

27. Of course I was prom king and Bella was my queen. I am glad that the people saw true
greatness and made the right choices for their king and queen. They do things right on
occasion, good for them.

28. And what’s a king without his noble steed? I saw the aura in the sky above this fishing
spot and had to come see what it was and lo and behold; it was a mythical unicorn! I
want to earn this majestic creature’s favour and to do that I need to prove myself a friend
to all animals…hmm, but what kind?

29. Ask and ye shall receive; what’s better than a wild, untamed mustang? I know I have the
talent and the time to train one of these mustangs and I will, mark my words. A Goth
never goes back on his word.

30. That took some time but only a few hours. This is my steed Thalassa. He will be a winner
with some training and hard work and then I will seek to prove myself to that unicorn
once I have tamed three of these mustangs…although I may need a bigger yard for my
horses. Perhaps when I become head of the family I will move to a location that has what I
need for raising and training horses.

31. After working with Thalassa for a few days we won our first Advanced Jumping
competition and then it was time to take my place as head of the household. I wish I
could have had a party but some things just can’t wait. I am excited to begin my new
life as head of the household and as the family’s first Equestrian heir.

32. Mortimer Goth as a Young Adult is:
Grumpy, Artistic, Ambitious, Lucky and an Equestrian.
LTW: Be Creature Robot Cross Breeder
Faves: Classical music, French Toast, and the colour Black

33. First thing I did after securing my position in the Science lab was call over my Bella
and ask her to marry me. I have planned to get to at least level five in my career and to
have a Spooky Day wedding so that everyone will have it off. Only the best for my
beautiful Bella, I will make her the happiest woman in Sunset Valley.

34. Young Adult Bella Bachelor is:
Artistic, Lucky, Brave, Good and has a Photographer’s Eye.
LTW: Be a Visionary
Faves: French music, Ratatouille, and the colour Red.

35. And after Bella moved in, I surprised her with a new bed for us. And we had to test it out of
course, just to make sure the money was spent well on it. Bella was impressed and the bed did
pass, it was worth it. Next thing I want to do after my career gets going and I sell a few more
books, yes I am a part time author as well, is move to a new location or perhaps a new town. I have
the creative urges to create something and while painting and sculpting didn’t quite satisfy me,
writing does.

36. Something I did not expect was that my lab would contact my mother with a strange opportunity:
to bring back a ghost. I would have talked her out of it but it was already done by the time I found
out. She chose the mysterious Lolita Goth to resurrect. Apparently she died in the 1970s? At least
that’s what she looks like from the clothing she’s wearing. My parents are both elderly now so I
must be more careful when people try to contact them, I never know who’s trying to scam them or
take our money. Now my house has a ghost that doesn’t disappear at sunrise roaming around.

37. It’s not just my parents either, I have a young and impressionable cousin too. Aunt Agnes’
daughter she had out of wedlock with Thornton Wolff, her name is Autumn Crumplebottom
and she is a Couch Potato, a Virtuoso, and Brave. She likes Hip Hop music, Veggie
Spaghetti, and the colour Aqua. I’m glad she’s brave because this house will scare the lily livered
ones who enter it.

38. This old Victorian house is drafty and in the fall and winter we usually use the fireplace to heat it.
Unfortunately, that also means the fireplace is old and stray sparks can escape, igniting the nearby
objects. Aunt Agnes did her best to put it out and had no help from Lolita or my grandfather’s
ghost, her father. I was nearly too late but Aunt Agnes managed to contain it. Next project is to
fireproof that fireplace so this doesn’t happen again.

39. Finally, the day of my wedding arrived. Spooky Day, apt for this place, and the weather
was pleasant and not too chilly. Bella invited her parents, brother, and sister in law and
the wedding was just right. You can just see how excited my Bella was to get married.
Mother was crying and father was giving me his approval nod, even little Autumn
dressed in her best for the occasion.

40. I stared at my bride, her red gown may be unorthodox for a wedding but it was perfect
for her. I couldn’t wait to marry her, I would be the first in the family to actually marry
too which was also a milestone. I don’t know the reasons behind why my parents never
married, they never talked about it. But I want to and I want for my future kids to do
the same.

41. My thoughts were on Bella although hers were on her brother. Apparently they were not
that close as kids and having him come to her wedding was a big deal for her. Her
pregnant sister in law could not help the hormones and she was crying more than mother
was I think.

42. I will love her for all of my days,
and together we’ll build a life of
happiness and laughter, of love and
kindness, and of joy and the
sorrows that may come with it…

43. Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer Goth,
the wedding of the decade in
Sunset Valley. The whole
town was abuzz for this tear
jerker ceremony and we at
the Sunset Valley Town
Council wish the son of one
of our town’s founders all the
happiness and joy in their
new life.

44. And now everyone’s favourite thing, the cake. Red velvet cake with yellow buttercream
frosting and white fondant swags. Complete with an entwined silver heart adorning the
cake’s top layer. It’s perfect and I love it, it’s also Bella’s favourite cake flavour too.

45. Four layers of red velvet cake and vanilla frosting in between, Autumn had never had
this kind of cake before and I’m glad she could experience it for the first time at my
wedding.

46. Okay, whoever said it was alright for my sister in law to upstage ME at MY wedding
by drenching my kitchen floor? Why did she go into labour now of all times? And
what’s Simis doing about it? Blocking my way, I knew my father in law would
probably give me a hard time but River is staining my floor! Mother works hard to keep
this place spotless and clean.

47. Even Bella can’t believe this would happen on her wedding day, her father doesn’t seem
all that worried about it and her mother Jocasta is in her own little world, which is
normal according to Bella. Mother will throw a fit from all those dirty and dropped
dishes if she sees them in here…

48. When it was all said and done, River did apologize for upstaging us at our wedding.
She called and told us that her and her new son Ronnie were doing just fine. Bella
could tell her that she would soon have a little one coming of her own. I am very excited
to be a father. Bella has taken up sculpting as a way to express her creative needs. I
heard that she plans to register as a self-employed sculptor after the baby is born too.

49. Sadly though, before the baby was born my parents died. They didn’t get to meet their grandchild but at
least they got to see me get married. Now as the head of the family, I have a lot of responsibility on my
shoulders. Aunt Agnes and Autumn, Lolita, Bella and my own child and keeping the family fortune
intact. I can’t go out and locate two more mustangs to train and tame right now, the house is getting a
bit cramped with the six of us here and we need something with more bedrooms and bathrooms. I don’t
want to move in the winter though so that will have to wait until spring.

50. When I look at my son Adrian now, I can see a lot of me in him. He looks exactly like I did when I
was toddler and since he was born in the winter, he Loves the Cold and like his parents, he’s also
Artistic. My son loves Spooky music, Cookies, and the colour Violet. Growing up in a
haunted house, I’m glad my son already knows what to expect when he gets older.
