The narrator then jokingly transitions to continuing the fictional story, mentioning dividing up husbands and whipping lackeys.
The document recaps a complex fictional story involving multiple characters and their intertwining relationships. It summarizes that two sets of twins, Deadeye and Nanki-Poo and Trudy and Paul, were both promised in arranged marriages by their grandfather to unite different branches of the family. However, the characters all had different romantic partners in mind, leading to conflict until it was revealed that Trudy and Paul were actually siblings of a different family, allowing Deadeye and Nanki-Poo to marry their chosen partners Draupadi and Tisha, while Trudy and Paul were freed from the arrangement.
Bertie and Vanessa had a baby named Albert. Everyone helps take care of the baby. Corey had been very close with Albert but got in a fight with Bertie and Vanessa. This caused Corey's relationship with Bertie and Vanessa to sour, though he still cares for Albert. Bertie is trying to reconcile with Corey but Corey no longer trusts Bertie and feels betrayed by him and Vanessa.
This document summarizes a Sims game playthrough where the player is attempting to earn points in a polyamory challenge by romancing multiple Sims. It provides updates on interactions between Sims that earned points, such as pillow fights, as well as establishing a schedule for which Sims can sleep in the same bed. The player expresses disappointment that more drama did not occur between the Sims, who remain on good terms. The document concludes by listing relationship scores between the Sims and the player's total challenge points.
This summary provides an overview of the Polyamory Project Challenge document:
The document recaps the previous round of the challenge where points were earned for romantic interactions and a child growing up well. It introduces rebuilding the Sims without SimPE which made recreating genetics difficult. Various romantic interactions between Sims like Bertie, Corey, Vanessa and Albert occurred, earning additional points. The document concludes by noting Albert is heading off to college and his family provides advice, with his score and relationships statuses updated.
Bertie's teenage son Albert is rebelling against his rock star father's unconventional values by dressing more conservatively and calling Bertie "Father" instead of "Dad". Meanwhile, Bertie's wife Corey remains frustrated with his polyamorous relationships but has reconciled with him by choosing to cuddle and talk rather than engage in other activities. Albert's rebellion and Corey's decision to work on her relationship with Bertie have helped improve the household dynamics compared to previous tensions.
This document summarizes Bertie's attempt at a polyamory challenge to romance multiple Sims and earn points. In the last round, Bertie earned 5 points from one romantic interaction but points were lost from arguments. This round, Bertie plans to have his Sim grow high-quality strawberries to use their effects to earn more points through romantic interactions, despite various challenges like all Sims being furious and working at the same time.
Bertie felt affectionate towards Vanessa, upsetting Corey and traumatizing little Bertie. Despite attempts to reconcile relationships, tensions remained high. The player tried unsuccessfully to move Robert in to fill the space left by the late dog Reuben. The round resulted in a low score of 5 points due to the relationship conflicts.
Bertie and Corey have reconciled after difficulties in their relationship. Corey apologized and said he wanted to try again with Bertie. They rekindled their romance, though bringing their son Albert along on a drive. Bertie is committed to treating all his partners equally, and spends quality time with Albert. The household dynamics remain complex as Bertie juggles multiple relationships.
Bertie proposes marriage to Corey in an attempt to prove he is special. Corey agrees on the condition of a prenuptial agreement capping the number of lovers Bertie can have at four. Meanwhile, Bertie woohoos with Vanessa while Zenon is present. Bertie later woohoos with another lover, Robert Steele, earning points in the polyamory challenge. The chapter ends with the possibility of twins being born to one of the household members.
Bertie McClellan is participating in a polyamory challenge where he must court and fall in love with multiple sims. He moves his boyfriend Corey and girlfriend Vanessa into his home. Corey is unhappy about sharing Bertie with Vanessa, causing arguments. Bertie apologizes profusely to Corey and Vanessa to try to smooth things over. The relationships remain complicated as Bertie balances caring for multiple partners.
Ruth welcomes the reader back to her Boolprop challenge. She spent time with her new niece instead of playing Sims. Last time, Ruth married Ryan and had a baby. Ryan started a kitchen fire but no one was hurt. They welcomed their new grandson Old Adam. Unfortunately, Aren did not get to meet his grandson before passing away at over 70.
This document provides an overview of events in the life of Ruth Shankel and her husband Ryan. It summarizes that Ruth graduated college where she met and got engaged to Ryan. After college, Ruth and Ryan moved back home where they got married. At the wedding, some guests did not make it and there were other minor issues. After getting married, Ruth became pregnant and later gave birth to a daughter named Buttercup. The document is written in a playful, conversational tone and provides additional details about the characters and their families in footnote format.
1. It’s been a while since the last chapter, thanks to two rebuilds, one
of which was necessitated by a complete switch from Mac to
Windows. A lot of things look different now. We are going to say
that it’s because of a big tornado that swept through town.
Handwaving things: gotta love it!
I would like to apologize in advance for a slight problem I was
having where sometimes Fraps would take screenshots and
sometimes it wouldn’t. I did eventually figure that out and take
duplicates with the in-game camera for every picture attempted to
take with Fraps. However, this means that some households have
not-very-many pictures, and some of the pictures are not-so-great.
2. This episode of Goldberg & Silent Lady was brought to you by the
Timeless Office” set by JWoods, available at Mod The Sims.
The “Timeless Office” set contains such classic and useful pieces
as a three-tile desk, two- and four-drawer file cabinets, a bookshelf,
a rolling chair, a clock (right twice a day!) and a lovely picture (not
pictured). (in the rapid undertone used by the very best used-car
and pharmaceutical commercials) This set was pretty clearly
created in 2005. JWoods is in no way aware of this endorsement.
And now let’s return to our story, which is Already in Progress…
3. As you probably remember, Abhijeet was a brujo in my old game
even though I did not have Apartment Life. Instead, I had a custom
magic system that would let him make potions and cast the
occasional spell. Now that I have Apartment Life, he can be a brujo
for realsies, but he can’t make any potions. I do like the animations
for making reagents much better than I liked the animations for
making potions, though.
4. Aaaaand I may or may not have kept him from getting in the
carpool one morning just so I could see the “Fly To Work”
animation. My one complaint with it is that he walks down to the
mailbox before he takes off instead of using the nifty landing
platform I built for him on the top floor of the house.
5. Abhijeet can and does still make potions with the shaman station
converted from Castaway Stories – the Penguin Party potion is
nothing short of hilarious, and love potions and elixir are always
nice – but not in the rain.
I had no idea that the fire wouldn’t light in the rain, although it
makes perfect sense once you think about it. The coding in these
games never ceases to impress me, even after eight years of
playing.
6. Cat is the same as ever, which means he is doing well and
complaining about it.
CAT: Hey, genius! I can’t eat out of that bowl! You put it down
facing the wrong way!
LEILA: It’s round. All the sides are the same. Just eat.
CAT: No, it’s wrong! I like eating with the fishy butts facing each
other, not the fishy heads. It makes the kibble taste like fish butt.
LEILA: And that’s a good thing, is it?
CAT: It is when it’s the crap you buy. When are you going to start
buying the good stuff? And are you gonna turn the bowl or not?
7. And Cat has ways of making his displeasure felt.
ABHIJEET: Would you know anything about what happened to
the bed?
CAT: What bed?
ABHIJEET: The great big double bed that used to be right here,
where there’s a pile of sawdust and springs and scraps of fabric.
CAT: Oh, the bed you kept shooing me off of just as I was getting
comfy? (yawns in that wide-mouthed, long-backed, many-clawed
way cats have) Not a clue. Let me know if you figure it out.
8. Fortunately, Leila has a very good job, so things like more
expensive kibble and new beds are not really a problem. She even
brought a co-worker home one evening, who turned out to be her
boss’s cousin, and who offered to put in a good word for her.
Leila has two bolts with this coworker, the same as she has with
Abhijeet.
LEILA: Oh, here’s my husband now! Abhijeet, come over here!
There’s someone I’d like you to meet.
9. LEILA’S COWORKER: Pleased to meet you, Mr. Shankel.
ABHIJEET: Yeah, likewise. Listen (leans in and lowers his voice)
right now, I’m a brujo* in the neutral sense of the term, okay?
Mess with my wife, and any option of curandero** is coming right
off the table. Got it?
*Brujo (BREW-hoe): A man who uses magic; either neutral or bad magic depending
on context. Feminine: bruja.
**Curandero (coo-ron-DERE-Oh): A man who uses good magic only. Feminine:
curandera. The difference between a brujo and a curandero appears to be a New
World one, and somewhat fuzzy, although I am by no means a linguist, so take that
with a pinch of salt.
10. LEILA: Did you have to threaten him?
ABHIJEET: I didn’t threaten him. I just –
LEILA: “Don’t mess with my wife” isn’t threatening? Esme,
you’re worse than Cat!
ABHIJEET: No, I –
LEILA: I would never do anything behind your back. Don’t you
trust me?
ABHIJEET: I do trust you. I just don’t trust him. And I don’t trust
myself if he decided to try anything.
LEILA: …Well. No more threatening, okay? (sighs) I wish I could
bribe you with fishy treats like I do Cat.
11. ABHIJEET: Yeah, fishy treats don’t really do it for me. But I do
have something in my Want panel that seems to have locked itself,
and that I could use a little help with…
LEILA: Is it blue and yellow? (as Abhijeet nods) What a
coincidence! Let’s just see what we can do about that, shall we?
Note from esmeiolanthe: No lullaby this rotation. Sorry.
12. MURAKAME
See, there’s gotta be a pattern here. I just can’t
see it. (beat) Silent Lady couldn’t make it?
GOLDBERG
She’s out for the week.
MURAKAME
The whole week? You’re not gonna make it.
GOLDBERG
I can take care of myself, thanks.
13. Skye might have only had two bolts with Dawson Seiff, and might
have gone “Meh” every time she looked at him, but a little
persistence was all that was needed for him to work his way into
her heart…
Note from esmeiolanthe: Please ignore that I forgot to give Skye her custom
hair back right away.
15. And into her life.
What? I don’t write bed-hopping drama. If that’s what you’re
looking for, boy oh boy have you come to the wrong place!
16. Of course, actions are not without consequences, and one of those
consequences became readily apparent on the last day of the
rotation.
17. Skye and Dawson had a nice little front-yard wedding, which was
well-attended by family and friends.
18. Precisely zero of whom watched the actual ceremony, since this is
purely a decorative arch with no actual wedding functions.
But everyone did show up in formalwear, and the party was a roof-
raiser, so that’s all right.
Skye Shankel is now Skye Seiff.
19. And just for the record, Dawson is a cake-shover.
20. GOLDBERG yells in frustration as the coffee machine
hisses and then shuts down with a dying whine.
GOLDBERG
All I want is a cup of coffee! Is that really too
much to ask?
21. Things can change so quickly in this game, as in life. One moment,
Amy was doing some simple gardening at the House of the Double
A’s.
22. The next moment, she was gone.
Really just gone. The Grim Reaper didn’t show up, although Adam
still wept for her.
23. After Amy’s death, Adam acquired a piano and played it more or
less constantly. Half the time, he would turn the radio on, and then
go to the piano and play something completely different.
Well, he rolled the Want for it – what was I supposed to do? Other
than turn the radio off, I mean.
24. And then on the last night of the rotation, Adam left the piano, and
walked into the bathroom.
GRIM REAPER: ..y ar. .ou i. ..e ..alle.. .oo. i. ..e .ou..? ..e gi… .a.
to wai. ou..ide.
ADAM: Because it’s coded in:
“ImportantLifeEvent=GOTO_Bathroom_true”
GRIM REAPER: O.. .ai. eno…. Co.. o., ..e..
25. Amy Littledragon, 69 years old. Amy was the second adopted child of
Harkon and Nirel Littledragon, and she looked enough like her sister
Samantha to have been a sister-by-blood, not just a sister-by-law-and-
affection. Amy was a Popularity Sim who acted like a Knowledge Sim. In
retrospect, I’m pretty sure she somehow managed to assign herself a
secondary aspiration even though I didn’t have Free Time.
Adam (Santander) Littledragon, age unknown. Adam had the same
personality on paper has his wife, but in practice, he was quite happy to
putter about and do what he was told. It’s not exactly a surprise that he
should have followed her lead about dying too.
Rest in peace, Amy and Adam.
26. NEIGHBOR
Well, I don’t know, y’know? He kept himself to
himself. I can’t think why anyone would want to kill
him. What did his friends in that club say?
27. The tornado was pretty devastating to the Couderc family farm.
Fortunately, Oliver and Oakapple were terrible pessimists and had
taken out insurance for all possible hazards, up to and including a
volcano erupting in the back yard. The insurance payout was more
than enough to cover the purchase price of a new farm.
The original is called Turtle Pond Farm and was built by
shastakiss. I have made my own modifications and renamed it
“Oakapple Farm.”
28. It has a pond for fishing, although it is no longer in the shape of a
turtle. (I had to redig it to make the fishing functions work right.)
29. It has a fairly sizeable garden plot and a greenhouse.
In the foreground, you can see some plants that don’t look like
traditional EAxis plants. They are new garden crops made by
Sun&Moon over at Plumb Bob Keep, and the are pretty awesome. I
have asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, pumpkins,
watermelon, two varieties of onions, two varieties of potatoes,
celery, and turnips.
30. Sun&Moon also provided the chickens, which produce eggs.
I am completely in love with their new crops and crafting stations
and regularly stalk the thread where they post their new creations.
And the best part? They’re 100% safe to remove! The crops are
cloned from the money tree (no custom foods!) and the chickens
are cloned from roaches (no NPCs!), making everything about as
safe as you can get.
31. Here you can see how nice everything looks when it is ready to
harvest. Isn’t it lovely?
32. Originally, I wanted to redo the farmstand with these nifty
“farmer’s markets” crates by keonichan. Because you have to
admit: they are nifty.
33. Unfortunately, they also completely blocked my view of the
produce, and I like seeing all the produce lined up on the tables. It
give me a completely undeserved sense of accomplishment. So I
swapped out for the good ol’ invisible magisplay recolor I used to
use, and I think the result looks very nice.
34. Now, I know you don’t read this story for my mad landscaping
skillz or for advertisements of custom content. You read it for
updates about your second-favorite sims.* But aside from farming
and fishing and a bit of baking, the only event of note was that
Chant aged up.
*After your own, of course.
35. As you may have noticed, Chant’s mustache and goatee don’t work
as well when they’re white. Chant is now clean-shaven, but
otherwise looks the same.
And that’s me out of pictures, which must mean that it’s time to
move on.
36. GOLDBERG is typing, laboriously, with two fingers,
speaking what he is typing out loud as he types it.
(This sounds unnaturally slow and is in quotes.)
When not typing, he peers at the screen and comments
at normal speed, backspacing rapidly as needed.
GOLDBERG
“Dear Sir or Madam.” Pixel! “Or Madam. I came
across.” No, there’s no L. “Across your website.”
Esme corrupt it! “Across your website and.” Corrupt
it! How the system crash does she do it?
37. As you may or may not remember (given that the last update was
damn near a year ago), Penny has headed off to college, where she
is settling in nicely.
Don’t worry, there will be a college chapter to get you caught up
on her.
Penny is not so sure about her parents, though.
PENELOPE: Mom, what on earth is going on with you?
38. JOSEPHINE (V.O.): How do you mean?
PENELOPE (V.O.): I mean that I’ve heard that you leave the house
at like four in the morning in your bathing suit!
JOSEPHINE (V.O.): Oh, yeah. That’s for work.
PENELOPE (V.O.): What kind of job requires you to leave the
house at four in the morning wearing a bathing suit?
JOSEPHINE (V.O.): Fish chummer.
PENELOPE (V.O.): What?
JOSEPHINE (V.O.): Fish chummer. I work at the aquarium and I
turn fish into chum. For the sharks.
39. PENELOPE (V.O.): What kind of a job is that?
JOSEPHINE (V.O.): One that’s better than staring out the window
all day. Sure, it’s a bit smelly, but the bathing suit makes it easy to
clean up after.
PENELOPE (V.O.): But do you have to wear it to work from
home? Don’t they have locker rooms at work?
JOSEPHINE (V.O.): Sure they do. Have you ever seen them?
PENELOPE (V.O.): No.
JOSEPHINE (V.O.): And trust me, you don’t want to. They’re
pretty horrible.
40. PENELOPE (V.O.): But really – fish chumming?
JOSEPHINE (V.O.): The new place is very small. There’s really
isn’t but so much cleaning to do every day, and sitting around
watching TV is not my idea of a good time.
PENELOPE (V.O.): Well, there’s the piano?
41. JOSEPHINE (V.O.): Oh, sure, and I play a lot. So does your father,
when he’s home. He’s getting very good at it, and improving his
sight reading tremendously. That’s important for a professional
party guest, you know, being able to sit down and play when
asked, anything you’re asked to play. But I can’t play the piano all
day every day either. Hence the fish chumming.
PENELOPE (V.O.): But –
JOSEPHINE (V.O.): So, have you met anybody nice yet? When am
I going to get some grandchildren?
PENELOPE (V.O.): Oh wow, is that the time? I have got to get to
class, Mom. Sorry. Love you! (hangs up)
43. Due to the massive tornado that ripped through town, Frederic and
family had to relocate to a new house. It’s a much bigger house,
which is vital, because that way they each have their own computer
plus they have a giant TV for gaming, which is as it should be.
Frederic had all three days off this rotation, and needed to boost his
Creativity for promotion, so he spent the time writing a cooking
murder mystery* and not wearing actual clothing. Pajama pants are
good enough, right?
*This is a real genre. Authors in this genre include Tamar Myers and Paige
Shelton.
44. Helen helped me test a community lot I had built. One of the cash
registers needs to be moved for maximum playability and the
greeting cards are actually buyable now that I’ve displayed them on
a counter rather than on the OFB shelves.
45. Helen attempted to impress one of the local teenage boys who was
at the post office, but he did not appreciate the noogie.
46. Isaac helped me test a different lot, one with multiple shops on it. I
am pleased to report that the Burger Knight is working just fine.
47. So is the coffee shop, although I question the advisability of
allowing zombies to work in the food service industry.
48. The open mic theater above the coffee shop works great too,
although I do have to go in and add some ceiling tiles over the
stage. Whoops!
49. And to my very great pleasure, the bank works perfectly. Money
trees are harvestable and the counterfeiting machines are
accessible, and there are no tellers on duty when you want one, just
like at a real bank.
50. Helen approves of the newly functional playground equipment at
the pool-and-playground lot that has been waiting patiently for said
equipment to drop into place since two or three months before
Apartment Life was released in the first place.
I can be a good planner when I want to be. Let’s just not talk about
my housekeeping skills…
51. MURAKAME
You miss her, don’t you. For more than the coffee
and the typing.
GOLDBERG
I – You – We – It’s not like that. We have a
business relationship. There’s nothing else going
on.
MURAKAME
Yeah, but don’t you wish there was?
52. When this rotation started (or slightly before, if you want to get
technical), Mickey Grew Up just a teeny bit earlier than planned,
since you can’t extract Babies, only Toddlers.
As advertised in the RTM part of the custom baby hair download,
he lost the back of his head.
53. Also as advertised in the RTM, a quick trip to the mirror fixed that
right up, and Mickey was back to 100% cuteness in no time, thanks
to a little help from big brother Alexander.
Interesting note: Mickey is the first Sim I ever extracted and cloned
all by myself. He’s available for adoption on my LJ, along with
most of the rest of my Sims.
55. Fortunately, the family had very good insurance, complete with
coverage for extended living expenses,* and they were able to be
placed in a new temporary home quickly.
ROSE: I don’t like it. It’s too small.
DMITRI: It’s not that bad.
ROSE: It’s way too small. We need to get back into our home.
*“Extended living expenses” is a part of an insurance policy that means that
the insurance company will put you up in a hotel or a temporary rental if you
can’t stay in your home due to it needing repairs. They’re only a little bit extra
a month, and you should totally look into adding them if you don’t have them
already.
56. DMITRI (V.O.) I really don’t think it’s that bad. It’s cozy. Alex
can do his homework with us now, instead of on a different floor.
We can all be near each other instead of so spread out.
57. DMITRI (V.O.): I think Mickey likes being able to go everywhere
without gates. And I know Ivan loves having more chances to
interact with Mickey.
IVAN: Where’s Mickey? Where’d he go? Oh no, I lost Mickey!
What will Mommy and Daddy say?
MIKHAIL: Beeapoo! (chortles)
58. DMITRI (V.O.): Sure, we’ve had to be a little creative with the
beds, but we can fit three in the second bedroom. It’s not like
there’s no room to breathe or anything.
ROSE (V.O.): You don’t understand. This place is way too small.
We need to be back in our own home soon. Can’t you please get on
the workmen to work faster?
DMITRI (V.O.): I can call tomorrow, but what’s the rush?
59. DMITRI: Oh.
DMITRI: I’ll call right now, how about that?
The temporary housing is one of joandsarah77’s tiny Council
Housing lots, and it really does work quite well for a family of five.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing it! But for a family of six, well…
60. GOLDBERG
I have the answer!
MURAKAME
And you’re going to tell me whodunit in a big
dramatic reveal?
GOLDBERG
Well, not now that you’ve ruined it.
MURAKAME
Just give me the name to fill in on the warrant. You
can give me the big reveal in the car over.
61. Catherynne and family were also affected by the tornado, and have
also moved into temporary housing provided by their insurance
company. The house is pretty cramped. (I personally suspect that
the houses were built by a friend of the insurance agent.)
PROFESSOR DOUGLAS: Hel-loooo! I’m ho-ome!
PROFESSOR DOUGLAS: …Doesn’t anybody want to come greet
me?
62. Chanes are that nobody even heard him, because pretty well all
four kids have Popularity as one aspiration or another, and they all
brought home friends. The house was so full of Teens, there wasn’t
even room to swing a cat.*
Catherynne loved it.
*Assuming the cat would let you, of course. They tend to not enjoy that sort of
thing.
63. I was rather chuffed myself, since this young lady needs help with
a Plot, and she’s related to most of the young people in town.
I really need to generate some townies…
Anyway, three out of the four Teens that Casilda is not related to
are in this house, and she had more bolts with Dongsool than with
Lavinia, so I set him to work being agreeable.
He didn’t seem to mind.
64. Professor Douglas came home and went straight into the bathroom,
where he just stood, staring vacantly at the shower. I was starting
to wonder if something had gone wrong when he Grew Up into
this atrocity.
Professor Douglas is a very smart man.
I used the shop-at-home coat rack to give him a better outfit before
he was subjected to the ridicule of teenagers.
65. Once most of the teenagers had left, Catherynne and Professor
Douglas taught Trudy, Lavinia, and Dongsool to study again. (This
is a skill they had pre-tornado, but I’m not comfortable enough
with SimPE to restore it artificially.)
66. Paul didn’t get tutoring help from his (adoptive) parents because it
got too late, so he asked his girlfriend Georgiana for help instead.
Or, well, he’d like for her to be his girlfriend. Nothing’s official.
Yet.
Under the watchful eye of Catherynne, all Paul and Georgiana did
was study.
67. Of course, “watchful” is not the same as “insensitive,” so Paul and
Georgianna were able to say goodbye properly.
Georgiana comes from my reality show, 100 Days of Awesome. It’s
available on my LiveJournal – you should read it. [/shameless self-
promotion]
68. Because the house is very small, and because I haven’t got any cc
bunk beds, there aren’t enough beds to go round. I decided the only
fair way to determine who gets to sleep in a bed was rock-paper-
scissors. Lavinia lost three times in a row, so she ended up on the
couch.
69. At the end of the rotation, Dongsool headed off to university with a
solid set of scholarships under his belt:
Bain-Gordon Communications Fellowship
Sim City Scholars Grant
Quigley Visual Arts Stipend
Young Entrepreneurs Award
Admittedly, he’s something of a genius and came to the household
with a fair hand of skills already. Obviously, he’s ready to take on
the college.
70. GOLDBERG surveys the office, now, put back to
rights. The camera pans from the waiting area to the
files to SILENT LADY’S desk (empty) to the cabinets,
to SILENT LADY herself, holding a fresh cup of
coffee. GOLDBERG drops his things and grabs her in a
fierce-yet-non-sexual hug. SILENT LADY’S eyes go
wide and she maneuvers the mug out of the way just
in time.
GOLDBERG
Never leave again!
71. Hi Sally! How’s it going? You’ve taken up painting again, I see.
SALLY: Yup. I always liked it as a kid, and once I came across
these adorable little easel sets at the store, I knew I had to take it up
again. Isn’t it a sweet little easel?
Yes, very nice. What else is new?
72. SALLY (V.O.): Well, somebody’s been kicking over our trashcan
pretty regularly.
Wow, that’s not good! Do you know who it is?
SALLY (V.O.): Nope, no idea. Troy says we should get a
sentrybot, but I don’t want to.They give people shocks! I don’t
want to hurt anybody! Shocks are mean.
But they’re kicking over your trash. That can cause roaches and
disease.
SALLY (V.O.): I know, But it’s still mean! Troy can clean it up
without hurting anybody.
73. SALLY (V.O.): Troy always cleans everything up. He’s such a
neatnik – forever cleaning everything, even when it doesn’t need
cleaning!*
*Sally has one whole Neat point.
74. SALLY (V.O.): Troy has been working out even more than usual
lately. He says it’s for when he catches up with whoever’s kicking
over the trash can. (confidingly) I think that’s he’s planning to
tickle them until they pee.
You think?
SALLY( V.O.): Oh yes! Anything else wouldn’t be very nice.
75. SALLY (V.O.): And Troy is a nice man. Very sweet. Do you
know, Tamara bought us cell phones – for emergencies and things
– and now Troy sends me sweet little texts all the time, even when
he’s just in the other room. (phone chimes) Oh, there’s one now!
76. SALLY: Sorry, I just have to send him a reply…
Well, I’ll just leave you to it, shall I?
SALLY (distractedly): Uh-huh.
77. Sally’s painting is courtesy of AnoeskaB’s easel add-ons made
shiftable by Honeywell. I have coveted these for so long, and I am
very excited to be able to use them now that I have Free Time.
Sally and Troy’s text messaging comes courtesy of Chris Hatch at
Back Alley Sims. It’s supposed to be simple activation of Eaxis
code, and Mr. Hatch’s mods are generally stable, but I would like
to test it a bit more before I recommend it, since I saw a report in
Hood Checker that I’m not sure of the cause.
Until next time, Happy Simming!
78. The Grim Reaper’s lines, in order:
