After seeing this on the SA forums, I just had to rip off try it here.
Basically, I'll make a family of 6 Sims based on forum members, use a money cheat to get them into a reasonably spacious and furnished house, and then just let the game run itself, only interacting where absolutely necessary. Then I take screenshots of interesting moments and describe each day's events. Ordinarily I would of course go ahead and nominate Zeor, Pikkul, and myself for three of the tenants, but in this case that kind of favouritism is getting old. I'd rather see people like S2K, SupSuper, and thomasp in Sim form.
So, if you want to participate, just speak up, and preferably provide either a photo, sketch or description I can work from, or if
you happen to own the game as well, make your own Sim in the Body Shop and send it over MSN. I'll also need to distribute the personality points, but I need to finish reinstalling the game and remind myself how many points there are to distribute. If you don't provide these, I'll have to work from my imagination. :p
I'm putting a cap on 6 Sims, because a lot can only hold 8 and I want to make room in case of unexpected events... plus my processor is actually just below the so-called minimum requirements, and with that many Sims the game is already going to run like hell. :p
One final detail: I was figuring we'd all just have our characters start in the adult stage, but if you want to be a teenager, child, or senior, go right ahead. Just keep in mind there needs to be at least one adult in the house or the family won't be accepted.

bonz is constructed, unfortunately there wasn't any option for a clown nose or green hair, and the red lipstick is automatically obscured by the costume makeup. So you've ended up looking more like a mime.
Oh well, just so long as I can tell everyone apart. :p Starting on SupSuper now.
Edit: Done. thomasp next...

MonkeyforaHead

Okay, the first three are set to go. Still waiting on Star Worms and Pikkul's characters, and whoever the sixth member turns out to be. I'm still kind of hoping to get S2K in on this, but who knows when he'll be online.
Meantime, we'll still need a last name for the family. I was thinking along the lines of Teamster. Any other suggestions?
Edit: I completley forgot, everyone'll need to pick an aspiration. Fortune, Knowledge, Family, Romance, Popularity. It's also good to keep in mind that having, say, one Family Sim and one Popularity Sim should mean that there'll always be one who has a habit of cleaning up and taking care of things, and one who ensures that there's always a conversation going. Without at least one Family Sim, things will probably go to crap. :p

Ben's spending some time offline at the mo' to sort out his creative issues. If he isn't available, I'd like to be your sixth contestant. Sadly I've never played The Sims so I can't give you a body or stats, but I can give you a couple of pics, a description and a character profile.

I'm average height, not especially fit but there's certainly nothing wrong with me. I normally wear jeans, T-shirts and boots. Current set is black, green and black respectively. Brown curly hair and smarmy expression. I'm to the point, not afraid to talk the truth and love finding irony in things. I'm a bit bi.tchy about people behind their backs but only in fun ways. I like to listen to people and inquire about their thoughts, feelings and issues, to make them feel noticed. I'm always ready for my friends. I'm generally witty but I can be slow to respond with something amusing. Being polite costs nothing. I work in retail in an electronics chain, understand sales law, why customer service matters and how to give a good impression. I'm getting to the stage where I think some people could be 'fixed' if they got a smack in the mouth, and I'm happy to blame/credit my mum for that. I like videogaming, computery stuff, internet, comedy, wonderful places and architecture, and spiritualism. Also, if my second name was Freddy my initials would be MFAH :o
Surname sounds good :)

Whoa there, all I need is some way of getting a semi-decent lookalike of you dumped in the game. The only things I have control over (besides the blatantly obvious like gender and age) are skin tone, hair style and colour, just about every aspect of the face, and a few specific sets of clothes (everyday, PJ's, formal, etc., I don't even have control over whether you get shoes or sandals). Then for the personality, I have to choose an aspiration and distribute 25 points into the five categories Star Worms listed -- failing that, the points can be auto-distributed by choosing your astrological sign. No need for a full bio, the Sims are their own masters once I've input the basic parameters.

worMatty
29 Apr 2006, 21:16
Then the game is flawed!
Sorry, I thought you were going to make little comics and generate the stories yourself with our personalities in mind. My sun sign is Cancer. Sorry for the information overload :) Use what you need.
Another attribute of my personality is I like to talk about myself and intentionally mislead people. Trust me.

Star Worms
29 Apr 2006, 21:21
Hang on a sec...
For the personality points do they have to be 25 points out of 50?
I was under the impression the Sims only lets you use half the points when creating a charcater.
Romance aspiration for me please.

What I mean is that you can distribute 25 points in total. I never counted how many slots there are for points, but now that you mention it there probably are 50.
Edit: So, yeah, thomasp, you're going to have to give me a slightly different distribution of points. :p
Edit once more: I'll be updating the first post with details and status as I get them, just so I don't lose track of anything.

Well, there's no sign of bonz, and Futureworm signed off immediately after giving me his character. So unless he comes on in the next short while, Pikkul's going to get his spot, and I'll just fill out bonz's personality with something sufficiently clownish.
Sup, you still haven't chosen an aspiration, either. :p

DAY 1 (part 1)
Naturally, the first thing everyone does is survey their new domicile.
27428
Akuryou apparently suffers from narcolepsy.
thomasp immediately heads for the bathroom to admire the shower. Starworms also heads in and...
27429
...admires thomasp.
Everyone seems to have split up into groups of two; bonz and worMatty head for the kitchen, where bonz decides to launch into a lecture on smoke alarms.
27430
bonz is undeterred by thomasp's intrusion and Akuryou's noisy, high-res thoughts.
27431
Yes, we'd all certainly be lost without you, bonz.
27432
...Okay, now I think he may have missed the point.

DAY 1 (part 2)
EVERYONE has gathered in the kitchen. Akuryou, going against his decidedly grumpy nature, offers worMatty a hug, who outright refuses. Score one for good sense.
...And worMatty just offered to hug Akuryou, who in return also refused. Common sense: 1, Sims logic: 1.
And damnit, SupSuper and Starworms are still going at it.
27440
SupSuper finally has enough homoerotic indulgence and breaks off from the group to go explore upstairs.
27441
...Or maybe explore his artistic side. Whichever.
worMatty also heads upstairs.
27442
Yessir, that is one fine piece of equipment.
27443
Yep.
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, bonz tells Starworms something that makes him stamp his foot on the floor HARD and laugh like I've never heard a Sim laugh before. Gay Darth Vader joke?
27444
Um, I think the general idea is to angle the scope in the general direction of "up"...

worMatty finally got tired of his peep-o-scope and went downstairs to have a sandwich like the rest of the gang (how come nobody's actually made a full round of sandwiches instead of just one for themselves, anyway?)
Suddenly, I get a notice that some people have arrived to welcome the Teamsters to the neighbourhood.
This dude SPRINTS inside, gives worMatty an aggressive push, and glares.

GEE IT'S A GOOD THING HE'S HERE TO WELCOME US TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD AND NOT SLASH WORMATTY'S THROAT IN HIS SLEEP, HUH

Lol that's what you get for making fun of people through a telescope.
Actually he was looking into his house, that's what happens if you look through a telescope on the Sims in day time. The annoying thing with that is, if you create a new neighbourhood, it's always (I think) the first family who you see. So whenever I'd look through the telescope with a different character, I'd run into their house and attack them...

Starworms heads upstairs with the intention of using the telescope, but it looks like bonz has first dibs...

Doesn't look like he's having quite as much fun with it though.
27463
Okay, now maybe we'll get somewhere. lol, invisible doorbell

Or maybe the stupid neighbours will suddenly clear off like rabbits two seconds after ringing the doorbell. I swear, the Teamsters just got ding-dong-ditched. Not like any of them were paying enough attention to hear the doorbell anyway.

You know, I think that everyone you put into the house is a family.
And I don't think that you can have incest on the Sims.

If nobody goes for the newspaper on day 2, I'm breaking my no-interact rule and getting you some jobs. This house doesn't pay for itself. :p
Edit: thomasp just woke up at quarter to four in the morning. Had something to eat, cleaned up all the dishes left behind by the others, and scrubbed the countertop. Used the shower and cleaned it immediately afterward. He's definitely living up to his neat freak programming, but even he can't learn to wash his hands after using the toilet. :p

After multiple reads, this thread is no less funny.
Somewhat off-topic edit: Dead hard drive awaiting data recovery be damned, I reinstalled the game and have recreated Gordon Freeman. He's a lousy cook and dancer, but other than that, he's getting along pretty well, and of course, uses his telescope much more for spying on neighbors than stargazing. Maybe I'll make a 3rd or 4th TS2 discussion thread for him.

This made me dig up The Sims 2 again. I started using a few cheats on my other (main) family and buggered some of the houses up. When someone grew up, they'd keep the number of days So if they grew up from a Toddler to a child they'd be 3/4 to being a teenager and could grow up instantly. So a baby could become an elder in 1 day.
I started a new neighbourhood, the old one was a bit overcrowded.

I thought I'd try this with a few randomly made people. Nothing happened - the odd kiss but none ever had a crush on anyone, and no-one was ever in love. Also they were constantly outside stamping the beetles because of all the rubbish. I had to call in the exterminator and the maid because they constantly had flu. Even then, it took the maid several days to get the house clean. How did you get around these? They seriously won't fall in love with one another on their own.

I can't just hop out of McDeath after two and a half weeks of working there. That would look exceptionally poor on any resume. I need something like a minimum of 4 months before I set my sights for greener pastures. Like even EB or something. I am slowly getting accustomed to things, but by God it leaves me drained and sore at the end of the day. I've also just noticed someone of the female persuasion working there who seems really nice, but it seems like she rarely comes in during my shifts. First chance I get, I'm gonna ask if she uses any web messengers. Innocent enough way of getting my foot in the door, I think.
I just hope she doesn't smoke. It seems like pretty much everyone I'm working with there smokes, I just wasn't aware of it at first because they only do so outside, and on their break, so they don't typically reek of it.
ANYWAY. Took today off sick to let my back heal, and we all know what that means...
27519
Yeah, this is more what I was expecting of Akuryou. Though he's still getting along amazingly well with everyone on average.
27520
This has been the first and only use of that bookcase in the livingroom so far -- worMatty suddenly decides to write in his diary. I missed the screencap of the appropriate thought bubble, but it seems he was writing about his old teddy bear.
Time passes and night falls pretty well without incident. Four a.m. arrives and the slackermobile rolls by. Starworms and worMatty awake and promptly pile in. bonz, on the other hand...
27521
...is too much of a slacker to even head off to his slacker job. New record.
27522
YOU HAVE SEVEN DAYS.
It's ringing off the hook for about 47 minutes before SupSuper finally decides to answer. He calls for bonz, who picks up.

A pretty uneventful day passes. Starworms and worMatty get back from their first day of work. Starworms actually grabs the paper, goes inside and reads it, then takes a quick nap in the reclining chair. Yep, looks like napping in that thing's turned into a habit for this household. And despite there being a perfectly functional radio, it's only been used once -- while there's almost always somebody using the dart board.
27525
Case in point.
Somewhere along the line, Akuryou is also napping in the chair downstairs -- when suddenly he wakes up with a start, and SPRINTS to the bathroom upstairs.
27526
I've never seen a chubby gothic viking move so fast. Why he didn't just use the downstairs bathroom, I have no idea.
27528
This is also the first time I've seen a Sim wear such an expression on the crapper.
Night falls once more, and Starworms discovers the telescope.

And this continues on into the wee hours of the morning. Four a.m., to be precise. Time for work.
Surprisingly, everyone makes it to the car in time, including bonz. Time passes. They return, and worMatty is promoted to gas station attendant; meaning he'll be working the graveyard shift now. bonz also steps out in good condition. Starworms emerges, takes a great big yawn, and...
27533
...he's out for the count. worMatty waves to him as he passes out. Also note the trail of stink lines.

He's probably got Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and spends all his time cleaning.
Actually, he spends most of his time playing darts. thomasp is the obsessive-compulsive cleaner.
In other news, I suddenly remembered that I had neglected to reinstall the patch after the main game. So I do so, and upon reentering the game I remembered that when you install a patch or expansion, it causes everyone to be standing perfectly upright with their needs pretty much completely satisfied. So, Starworms magically recovered from his coma, and thomasp, whose aspiration meter was dropping into the negatives, is now perfectly fine.
I'm such an idiot.
Edit: To make up for this, Akuryou gave himself food poisoning by eating a spoiled sandwich. Then the game crashed, and naturally I hadn't saved. URGE TO KILL RISING.

And now, for a bit of a side story. I've drummed up Sim versions of myself and Zeor as separate families, with the intention of moving them in together later. So what I had to do was get them to meet, which would be easiest in a community lot. Tried the park first. No dice, but what have we here?
27578
I couldn't resist. I got Zeor to introduce himself briefly. When Akuryou started bragging however, things kind of broke up for the night.
In an unrelated twisted web of events, both Zeor and myself have fallen in love with Dina Caliente, which has been fun to observe from a distance. Anyway, we've moved in together now (inviting Dina on a regular basis to watch as the fur flies), when Akuryou suddenly just invites himself into the house. Munkee Sim decides pretty quickly that he doesn't like him.
27580
"Haha, what a LOSER."
27581
Apparently he doesn't take rejection very well.

Push comes to shove, and before long...

Ahh, spectator sports.
But here's the real kicker: Akuryou wins. TWICE. I honestly don't know how. His aspiration meter must already be in the red from all the arguments we had, mine was in the gold, and my mood was near perfect. Still he managed to hand me my ass twice. Well, I wasn't about to stand for that.
27584
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight o/¯
Apparently I'm an utter weakling; I've noticed that I have much less success with the exercise machine off the bat than Zeor did. About half as much. But that also means that I gain the first two "body" levels in practically no time at all.
27587

Akuryou attempts to hug Starworms, but he's having none of that creepy old guy crap.

Akuryou then proceeds to brag to him repeatedly, which fails to go well at all. Starworms annoys and grosses him out. Their relationship, such as it is, goes to crap in a matter of minutes.

He seems to think that attempting to sleep in another bed may help. It doesn't. He hops between the three available beds for some hours. It's getting to be morning already, if you'll notice the window.

Right about this point, Starworms gets back from work, with an energy bar completely bottomed out due to not having gotten any sleep the night previous. Somehow, he keeps awake and immediately heads for bed. Looks like he's gonna make it this time.
27649
So close.
27650
WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE
At this point, Zeor suggested that maybe the household's fridge had run empty and required restocking. Now, when this happens and a Sim's hunger level gets critical, they're supposed to eat out of the trash can on the sidewalk. I guess the lot of you would either prefer death to eating out of trash cans, or you just lack basic survival instincts of any kind. I'm leaning towards the latter.
Since, for some odd reason, ordering replacement groceries is one of the few things a Sim absolutely cannot do autonomously, I got one of the few of you awake to call for a delivery.

worMatty quickly "stuffs his face" (actual description of action), while SupSuper prepares a round of sandwiches, and passes out on the floor from exhaustion. Nobody else could get to the sandwiches because of his corpse. After another hour or so, he'd recovered enough energy for me to wake him up, but then a minor glitch took effect and I couldn't interact with the half-prepared sandwiches. (I'd decided by this point that I didn't want anyone to die from hunger in quite such a fashion.) Fortunately, worMatty took over of his own accord.
27654
Everyone who isn't asleep or still full joins in, and a great time is had by all. Akuryou, at some point, got out of bed and is just sitting at one end of the table again, perhaps meditating.

Akuryou I let off the hook because he was next to collapsing from exhaustion after his grueling 4-hour shift for a payoff of $50.

Suddenly, Akuryou dashes outside still in his underwear to join in the party.

Pikkul, meanwhile, owing to a suggestion by zeor, has quit his job in the food service and started looking for employment in the criminal career track. Ideally, he could bring Akuryou home from work one day and start off a tremendous dramabomb -- but more than that, the peak of Zero's career in law is Superhero, and the peak of the criminal's is Supervillain. And the peak of mine is Mad Scientist. Best. family. EVER.

As it turns out, not only were the chairs I was using out back not the kind you could slide in to a table, the tables were of a kind that food can't be placed on for some reason. No wonder my barbecue efforts were being moved indoors.
Following this enlightening discovery, I quickly make my replacements of both the tables and chairs. As soon as he's finished eating, Pikkul decides to get up and check out the new chair outside.

Monkey, a good idea would be to only post (medium-sized) thumbnails in here which link to the full-size image hosted somewhere.
Imageshack can do that, if Photobucket can't.
It'd reduce loading times for pages and stop the annoying jumping of the page when the full height of an image has loaded.
The images will then also fit the text area for people that use the purple retro skin.

When Zero starts the poke zeor game up again, I'll get myself killed in an amusing way just to take some of the burden off.
And I guess that I wouldn't want my sim to fall in love with Squirminator or anything. :p
Yeah, fair enough I guess.
I'm trying to think what I could do that would make an interesting Forum Game.
Best I can think of is a Civ 4 empire with each city named after a Forumite.

Munkee, is my Sim avatar still alive? If he's dead, I might respawn at S2K's house.
Can Sim's actually die (unnaturally)?

Star Worms
24 Jan 2007, 22:56
They can die but it's very rare - they're unlikely to die until they are elders.
However adults can die by drowning, by flies, burning, starvation. However - if they die from starvation I've heard that the ghost will take food from the fridge. If they drown the ghost drops water around the place. There are other ways too that I cannot remember.

Zero72
25 Jan 2007, 06:05
You omitted electrocution, scared by a ghost, and falling satellite (probably the rarest, but I don't really know about the swarm of flies.)
Speaking of death, parallel Old Man Munkee finally just kicked the bucket of old age (actually a fairly cute/amusing way to go in TS2), meaning I only have a few days left myself. :-/ We were actually the same age, but I was always a happier Sim, which looks like it'll give me an extra 4-5 days.
We got another kitty after Munkee died, so it's all good. :)
Everybody else in the house aspires to a kitten all of a sudden, so...

Death by flies is very rare. It occasionally happens in a VERY dirty room ie plates with flies and lots of them. Although I've never seen it happen.

Anyway, I've played a couple more rounds of the Teamster household since the last update, but the sad truth of it is that you guys are just being incredibly downright boring now. Meanwhile, all sorts of cool stuff is going on over in my main house and I was wondering if everyone would prefer I switch to mainly posting updates about them instead of the Teamsters, or just let the thread stagnate even more than it has to.
I can pretty well guarantee through recent events that Akuryou will be showing up eventually regardless.

Before we continue, a belated response:
Monkey, a good idea would be to only post (medium-sized) thumbnails in here which link to the full-size image hosted somewhere.
Imageshack can do that, if Photobucket can't.
It'd reduce loading times for pages and stop the annoying jumping of the page when the full height of an image has loaded.
The images will then also fit the text area for people that use the purple retro skin.
Screw Imageshack, their accounts system freaking sucks and they don't have a convenient multiple-upload option. I apologize to 56k users, but if you can't take the sand don't go to the beach. As for the purple retro skin, I'm using it and have no issue with the pictures stretching beyond the text area and thereby incurring those annoying framed scroll arrows. So if it isn't broken on my end, as far as I'm concerned, you're the one who's broken. :p

Right, where were we. First, I replicated our house from scratch on a larger lot, since we were just completely out of room on the one we had. That was tedious. I honestly wish they'd added an option to transplant constructions onto a different lot.
I took up meditation to pass the time, since once you reach the top of your career ladder you find yourself actually having spare time in which you don't feel obligated to cap your skills. I learned teleportation, but I honestly can't see it being used as a shortcut even on the largest lots, since you have to meditate for about 45 minutes solid every time you want to start levitating and make teleportation possible again.

Indeed. They also have a lot of advertising... probably because everyone always posts links to the direct images and wastes their bandwidth. (Guilty. :p )
That said, I don't like photobucket very much either. I've seen very many broken photobucket links, and I'm not sure if it's the site or what.

I probably forgot to mention anywhere that I had proposed to Cassandra quite some time ago, only afterwards remembering that when someone moves in, they no longer count as a family friend. As I was barely riding the edge of number of family friends needed for Zeor's final promotion, I simply decided to wait a while for the actual wedding. Then I decided to wait until Pikkul hit the top of his career, but since he's turned to home robotics and I had the day (night) off from work, I decided this was the time.

As this is all going on, I'm slowly learning about Servos. They start off inactive and all crouched up, just as another item in the household, and can still be sold. Once you approach it to turn it on, you have to select a name and gender, at which point it springs up and gets its own icon in the sidebar as though it were a regular Sim of the household. I joked briefly about giving Pikkul a gay relationship with a robot, but ultimately I don't quite feel like stomping on his character quite so much.

Why hello Akuryou
Pikkul influences SAL to "irritate" Akuryou.

DESTROY ALL HUMANS
A little overboard, maybe, but I think she got the idea.

Pikkul is an utter pansy and runs to hide in the corner of the hallway upon the start of the fight. Attempting to get him to go back and watch results in a repeat of this behaviour.

Attention world: Akuryou had his butt kicked by a two-minute-old girly robot.

The festivities begin. Aku is irate about something again and I'm all "dunno"

Party twirlers are go. Even Aku seems to be enjoying himself now. I mean that literally. Look at him, he's enjoying being in his own damn presence.
