Trailer Park Challenge
Chapter III

2. Welcome back to my Trailer Park Challenge!
I felt like I needed to start this chapter with a family photo,
and clearly I didn’t have one, so…
Yeah. Just go back to the last chapter if you don’t
remember who’s who in this picture.

3. Bruce: ”Guess what?”
What?
”I’ve got a date!”

4. Marisa: ”Aw! He was so eager to see me so he didn’t have time
to change out of his jammies!”
More like ’eager to see anyone else but his wife’.
Romance sims are so much fun >:3

5. Look at all the targets! Why didn’t I send Ilo here? <.<
No, I didn’t give them makeovers, I just happen to have
several default replacements.

6. Dream date! :D
Green hoodie: Yup, totally going to ignore that guy I
witnessed getting married yesterday. Definitely not seeing
any two-timing. Nope.

7. Next up, Sybil Beeowch (a sim I created in boredom).
Waitress: ”Did he really exchange a kiss with a woman
other than the one bonded by his ring?
Green: ”I saw nothing. Nothing at all.

8. Waitress: ”It’s just that my maiden heart knows the
longing for a kiss, but I couldn’t possibly imagine
betraying the one I’ve vowed to love for times both harsh
and pleasant. Oh, how cruel it must feel!”

9. Sybil: ”No, I don’t like what I see!”
Waitress: ”How courageous of her, to stop the advan-”
I need to take a break from ’Anne of Green Gables’.

10. Sybil: ”You know, I enjoy playing poker with you.”
Bruce: ”Really? Because by ’going out’, I meant -”
Sybil: ”No. I cringe at every friendly interaction.”
Why do I make my playables so mean… Why…?

11. Green: ”So, how is your date going? Not that I am
interested in anyone’s extramarital affairs…”
Not as well as it should -_- Apparently Romance sim
pairings aren’t success-guaranteed date material.

12. Next: Andrea Hogan.
Bandana guy: ”Why is it that your sims cheat so much?”
I’m supposed to be omni-present. Look somewhere else.

13. ”Mmm… Want this…”
1. I don’t know which dish that is.
2. You’ve already fulfilled the ’dine out’ want.
3. There’s cheaper food at home.

14. Andrea: ”So what it’s like? Cheating on your wife right off
the bat, I mean.”
Bruce: ”Maybe if I don’t answer people will stop asking me…”

15. Bruce, please tell me you’re not serious about those wants.

16. Countess: ”So you’re cheating already?”
Bruce: ”FOR PETE’S SAKE, HOW DOES EVERYONE
KNOW?!”
The power of gossip, my dear. Do not underestimate it at
any cost.

17. Kind of unfair to let Bruce get all the action. Okay guys,
play-session’s over. Shoo, shoo!

18. Back at the trailer, there are not one, but two rose
bouquets! Chi-ching goes the cash.
The sauna costs about 4000, so the amount of rose
bouquets would have to be… 72, at least.

19. Now isn’t that cute? :)
Perhaps I should have more baby-spam in here.

20. And as soon as I’m done selling them off, the date flowers
come again!

21. Better have some dating inside of the marriage too. You
know, for good measure.
And Bruce-babies.

22. The Sims: Where the laws of gravity apply to hair, but not
objects.

23. Mission accomplished. Now hell starts again.
I feel sorry for Ilo, but the rules clearly state 4 pregnancies
minimum.

24. OMIGAWD PENGUIN!!! CUTENESS!!! *SQUEAL*
… I have a weakness for pixelated animals and kiddos,
okay?

25. Ilo going out in the snow reminded me that I play with a
mod that keeps sims from changing into outerwear
autonomously, which then reminded me to get a closet…
Neither of the cheapest ones worked.
*sigh* Off to the backyard ya go!

26. I probably should get her some logic points so she can join
the meditation.
Ilo: ”Gilbert, could you please stop asking me out
Downtown? It’s getting pretty annoying, especially since
they’re outings…”

27. ”Aoow! Is… it… another… baby?”
Wait about 24 hours and we’ll find out.

28. Pro~mo~tion! ♫
Bruce: ”How far did you say I was allowed to climb in this
career?”
To level 4. Lose me 5 points by going any further and I’ll
punish you.

29. Why so grim?
”I just threw up. I do not like doing that.”
Tough luck, babe.

30. ”I remember when I first met Bruce… and now we have
this wonderful child together… Even though he wasn’t the
father…”
More like you were already pregnant when you two
started dating.

31. So much for the wonderful child part.

32. How’ya feelin’, Bruce? ^_^
”Got promoted to Record Store Clerk.”
§_§ Off to Culinary with you!

33. What more, you brought some aspiration fodder over!

34. ”I sense a susceptible mind.”
He’s all yours.

35. In my opinion, Romance perks are most delightful.

36. Father-daughter bonding time <3
Bruce: ”I wonder how my wife and pal are getting along.
They’re kind of in the middle of something, so I’d advise
you not to interrupt.

37. Levitating cups! This world is full of mysteries ~

38. Once again on the merry-go-round…

39. Adam: ”Wooh! Go cups!”
I know right? They can serve as headlights for now (since
they’re stuck).

40. ”No, I don’t find you attractive! At all!”
Yeah right <.<

41. Ilo: ”Well what is it that turns you off then?”
Adam: ”I don’t happen to like buff bodies.”

42. Ilo: ”If you look more closely, you’d see that I’m actually
rather plump… *whisper whisper*”

43. Way to go scarring her for life *shrug*

44. Confetti! :D And the custom hair takes its toll again.
Don’t dye your baby’s hair, folks; it will digest the back of
their head.
J/k. Kind of.

45. Here she is again, all made over!
Just gotta check… Yep, her name is Neodymium. Little
Neo is a Sagittarius, with a 1-7-9-10-1 personality.
I can already picture her running around ventrilo-farting.

46. Bruce: ”Why are you two out here in the cold?”
Adam: ”Oh, we just thought it would be nice to look at
the snow…”

47. Dreamus dateronus! *poof*
I wonder what his kids would look like.

48. Bruce: ”Adam, you’re my friend, and it’s not that I don’t
trust you… but if you even as much as lay a finger on my
wife I will tell the boss what you did yesterday in the
lunch room.”
Adam: ”No worries, dude. I come in peace.”

49. Look! It’s invisible Santa Claus! :D
”I had a great time with you on our da-”
Shh! You’re ruining the magic!

50. ”Say ’teddy’, as in Chris Hatch’s teddy bear we are going
to use to buy baby clothes with.
”T…teddy.”

51. ”Now ’highchair’, which you’ll never be able to sit in.”
”Haitsheeer!”

52. ”That’s great honey! Can you say ’mommy’? Come on
now! Mooo-mmeee.”

53. ”*sigh* Why do I even try…”

54. Logic points to the people! And if we’re lucky, perhaps
some alien nooboos too…
Bruce: ”Wait, what?”
Just the wind dear.

55. No UFOs yet, but instead a constellation! :D Which per the
rules demands acquiring a flamingo lamp.
Hopefully the fruitful neon glow of the flamingo will help
in fertilizing our founder further in the future.
I wanted to see how many f-words I could get in there ^.^

56. ”Oh, how I want to see her again…”
I like how the snow settles on top of the roses. Here EAxis,
have a cookie for once.

57. Same night, another constellation.
Because realism does not belong in simulation games.

58. Cheesus Crust! Did you get bitten by a zombie? O.O
Bruce: ”Cold… so cold…”
Oops. My bad.

59. Talking: Check. Potty training: Check.
I feel guilty for not having enough cutie-spam, so have a
few slides before I take off.

60. Poor baby :( Poor in both senses. Baby mats aren’t
probably all that more comfortable than cribs, but they’re
a lot cheaper.

61. Isn’t she adorable?
Also; this baby mat is by Rebeca at ModTheSims, and for
some reason they tend to get stuck a lot in my game,
which is why it’s the ONLY item I sell and replace in this
challenge. The value doesn’t depreciate = I don’t get extra
money = it ain’t cheating.

62. Aren’t toddlers just the cutest? *melts*

63. Neo: {If I’m so cute, why are you letting me wallow in filth
like this?} *intense mastermind stare*
Ehh… Happy simming everybody!
