The Sims 2 Forum House Mk. III

[Squirminator2k]

Having just picked up The Sims 2 Deluxe and The Sims University, I figured it was about time we had another Forum House. Anyone interested in participating again? As before, there will be SIX[/i] housemates, which means that I need FIVE volunteers, plus myself.

If you're up for it, post in this thread. Ideally I'd like a mugshot of you if I don't have one already, as well as the following information:

[b]Your Sim's Aspiration - choose from Romance, Knowledge, Fortune, Popularity or Family.
Your Sim's Attributes - distribute points across Neatness, Outgoingness, Activeness, Playfulness, and Niceness. Each can have a max of 10 points, but you can't issue more than 25 points overall.

As before, I'm quite happy to do Custom Clothes. You may recall I had Angelus in a Metallica shirt, Euan in a hat with the word "Hat" on it, and so forth. If you have any requests and they're within my power, I'll give it a go.

THE LIST SO FAR

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/lineup.gif

[MtlAngelus]

Ooooh I want in.

Aspiration: Knowledge

Neatness: 5
Outgoingness: 5
Activeness: 5
Playfulness: 2
Niceness: 8

I'll upload a pic in a while. :p

[Squirminator2k]

I still have your Sim stored on my computer, funnilly enough. Just checked the Sims 2 BodyShop to discover all of the Sims from my first attempt are still there.

[MtlAngelus]

Oooh nice.

In any case, my hair's longer now (http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/9729/photo1id2.jpg). :p
Plus I'm older. :(

[Squirminator2k]

Wow. How very metal of you.

Edit: Right, I have you in the same outfit you were in previously, but I've made your hair longer (sadly there is no "slightly curly" hairstyle to suit) and made your face a bit more accurate. Whoo.

[Zero72]

I'm grabbing the second spot as we speak. Go, me.

[MtlAngelus]

Y'know, I wouldn't mind a different outfit. :p
Unfortunately, I don't have sims 2 installed, and I don't remember what's available... :p
So um probably something a bit more rocker, less metal... if that makes sense. :p

[Squirminator2k]

Are you on MSN right now?

Edit: Angelus' clothing has been updated.

[Star Worms]

Oo ooh pick me! pick me!


Aspiration: Family

Neatness: 3
Outgoingness: 5
Activeness: 5
Playfulness: 4
Niceness: 8

[worMatty]

Let's mix it up a little:

Aspiration: Romance
Neat: 3
Outgoing: 8
Active: 5
Playful: 5
Nice: 4

Got to be some way of getting laid, even if it's in a virtual world.

Pictars: Facebook.

Chiz.

[SupSuper]

Well we need the gay comedy relief.

Aspiration: Fortune
Neat: 4
Outgoing: 2
Active: 4
Playful: 7
Nice: 8

I'll post an updated pic eventually. Think "Hairy Hairy Dan".

Edit: Do not be fooled that is not a beard (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Fotos/Imagem64_.jpg)

[Akuryou13]

yeah....this won't end well, but i'll toss mine in as well.

Aspiration: Romance (most fitting of the selection)
Neat: 4
Outgoing: 3
Active: 6
Playful: 6
Nice: 6

those would be realistic stats, btw. I'm somewhat neat but not really. I don't mind doing things, but I'm not particularly outgoing. same for active. I'm somewhat playful but not too much and I'm fairly nice, I'm just a huge smart ass :p

if you need a picture I'll have my wife snap one of me, as the most recent ones are from our wedding, and I've grown my hair out since then.

edit: wow, this house is going to be a pig sty. the highest neatness value is 5/10 :p

[MtlAngelus]

There's only room for six, Aku. :p

[worMatty]

Do you still wear the horned hat, Nathan?

[Squirminator2k]

Andy, Matty and Daniel it is, then. Funky stuff.

DANIEL HAS AN INCREDIBLY THIN SCARF ON.

[worMatty]

In-keeping with the camp theme, then? If the scarf is unnecessary it would prove it for sure.

[Squirminator2k]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/dan.jpg

This is Daniel.

[SupSuper]

So very lifelike.

LET THE WACKY HIJINKS COMMENCE!

[Squirminator2k]

Everyone's ready, all I need to do now is get Zeor's stats and we're ready to Rock and Roll.

Edit: Dan quite rightly pointed out that Zeor's stats are listed in my old thread. For those of you playing at home, here they are:

Aspiration: Family

Neat: 6
Outgoing: 4
Playful: 7
Active: 3
Nice: 5

[Squirminator2k]

HAHA!

The Sims 2 Deluxe inclues TS2 and the Nightlife expansion, which is mostly about dating. The best part? When you create a family member, you get to choose two turn-ons and one turn-off. Rather than give people a say in the matter, I figure I'll just increase the entertainment value by deciding for them.

Daniel - you like fat chicks who stink, right?

[Star Worms]

Would you mind editing my eyes to blue please (they look green).

I was just about to say that you could mistake Dan for a terrorist, but then I noticed his jacket.

Edit: Dan is Saddam Hussein in disguise... just look at the noose around his neck; he didn't really die!

[Akuryou13]

There's only room for six, Aku. :pI miscounted. so sue me :p

Do you still wear the horned hat, Nathan? har dee har har.

[Star Worms]

You could always add Aku in another house and call him around occasionally... they sometimes walk by the house anyway.

[Squirminator2k]

Too late, Andy... IT HAS BEGUN.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/00.jpg

The game starts, I build the house. Naturally, everyone decides to enter the house and investig---...

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/01.jpg
Oh.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/02.jpg
Er...

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/03.jpg
...Right.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/04.jpg
No, no. Don't let me interrupt. I'll just wait over here.

[Squirminator2k]

Zeor and Andy decide to move their fight across the street.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/05.jpg

Meanwhile...

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/06.jpg
"ALL HAIL HYPOTOAD."

"That Sup... he seems a little..."
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/07.jpg

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/09.jpg
"VWEEE HEEE HEEE STOPIT!"

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/08.jpg
"...iffy."

[Squirminator2k]

Enough banter. LET THE ORGY COMMENCE.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/10.jpg
Aww.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/11.jpg
Aww.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/12.jpg
"Step off, *****!"

Finally, someone goes into the house.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/13.jpg
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/14.jpg
I am not stalking Matty.

[Squirminator2k]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/15.jpg
The house as it stood when I began this pointless exercise.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/16.jpg
Andy decides he wants to murder every musical note ever.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/17.jpg
I have no idea how long these people were waiting. I don't think they ever left.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/18.jpg
POOT.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/19.jpg
It alarms me just how much time Matty and I are spending with each other.

[Squirminator2k]

Matty and I share a manly, butch embrace...
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/20.jpg

Then decide to talk about Zeor behind his back.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/21.jpg
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/22.jpg
It seems he burns food. This seems a tad hypocritical considering that NONE OF THEM CAN COOK.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/23.jpg
Zeor's over-enthusiastic bowling...

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/24.jpg
...is matched only by Sup's Mario-jump celebration.

[Squirminator2k]

I'm relaxing.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/25.jpg

Matty is watching.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/26.jpg

And watching.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/27.jpg

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/28.jpg
Ah, this seems a marvelous return to form.

[Squirminator2k]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/31.jpg
Everyone Angelus tries to hug tells him to bugger off. Apparently he's a little too friendly for their liking.

Despite not knowing anyone, I get a phonecall...
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/29.jpg

...from someone...
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/30.jpg
...who I apparently don't like very much.

I've been invited for a night out with some People I Don't Know. Hoorah!

[Squirminator2k]

This is the place.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/32.jpg

The taxi pulls up outside, and I and a few strangers climb out. We then proceed to socialise, chat, dance, sing...
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/33.jpg

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/34.jpg
...oh. Don't mind me. I'll just sit here, shall I?

Nuts to this - I call a taxi and head home.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/35.jpg
Apparently calling a taxi involves wild gesturing with the arms.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/36.jpg
Hey, I don't remember saying these *******s could come home WITH ME.

[Squirminator2k]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/37.jpg
I roll into bed...

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/38.jpg
Apparently sleeping is a spectator sport. I didn't nab a picture in time, but at one point ALL OF THE VISITORS WERE STANDING AT THE END OF MY BED WATCHING ME SLEEP. Terrifying.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/39.jpg
GET OUT

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/40.jpg
OF MY HOUSE

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/41.jpg
YOU GITS.

[Squirminator2k]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/42.jpg

An argument breaks out in the bathroom, and the Sims get caught in a perpetual loop of shooing people out of the room, then getting shoo'd out by someone else who, in term, shoos them out. Now I remember why I built more toilets last time.

[MtlAngelus]

Why won't nobody hug me! :mad:

Great stuff so far, man!

[Zero72]

Zeor and Andy decide to move their fight across the street.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/05.jpg
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLoLOLOLOL

Fun fact: That jacket was originally black, and making it blue was an unbelievably painstaking project of mine. I don't like the model it used. I'd make my own on a better model if I were competent.

Oh yeah, and: This is already great.

[Akuryou13]

this is FAR more hilarious than it logically should be.....

[Melon]

I noticed the cunning Jump Leads advertising there Ben.

This is funnier than I thought it would be. Good stuff.

[SupSuper]

Bowling is the best.

[Squirminator2k]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/43.jpg
Horrible Freeloading Piano Man gains Horrible Freeloading Drummer Sidekick!

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/44.jpg
Matty is well aware that he stinks.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/45.jpg
But he can't do anything about it now. He's far too busy checking out the new shower rooms.

Meanwhile...
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/46.jpg
GO HOME, ROGER.

[Squirminator2k]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/47.jpg
T'was the night before Tuesday...

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/48.jpg
...and all through the house...

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/49.jpg
...not a creature was stirring...

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/50.jpg
...not even a mouse.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/51.jpg
Oh, except for Freeloading Pervert.

[Squirminator2k]

The following morning begins as all days should.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/52.jpg
With a PILLOW FIGHT.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/55.jpg
And bad body odour. Yeesh.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/53.jpg
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/54.jpg
We're a house full of stinky people. And Freeloaders who don't mind pointing out our stinkiness. As a reminder, the Freeloading *******s (particularly Freeloading Pervert) stayed in the house ALL GODDAMN NIGHT while we slept. That's... that's just wrong.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/56.jpg
Matty doesn't understand the finer points of toilet-human interactions.

[Squirminator2k]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/57.jpg
I've learnt to make cereal.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/58.jpg
Must you watch EVERYTHING I do?

[Squirminator2k]

This is an Expresso Machine.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/59.jpg

This is a picture of a cup of Expresso.
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/60.jpg

And this...
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/61.jpg
...is a bloody FREELOADER.

[Squirminator2k]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/62.jpg
I take up the drums.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/63.jpg
He takes up LOOKING AT THE BACK OF MY HEAD.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/64.jpg
Everyone else seems to like him...

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/65.jpg
...although I can't help feeling that maybe he started this.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/66.jpg
Matty likes to hug people. A lot.

[worMatty]

What on earth have you done to the house?

[SupSuper]

The freeloader looks like he's scoffing at everything you do. :p

[Squirminator2k]

The music room has Strobe lighting. The second bedroom is a DRUG TRIP.

[Xinos]

Your entire scenario is a drug trip.
I love the fact that there is no ceiling in any of the rooms.

[FutureWorm]

i'm bummed that i missed out on this

oh well, carry on

[bonz]

Hmm.
I think I'm glad that I'm missing out on this one.
AFAIR, the last time this was hilariously homoerotic pillow fight trip. With a viking.

Seeing all these pictures, one might wonder what a crappy game Sims must be...
Does there ever happen anything sensible or reasonable? :rolleyes:

[Squirminator2k]

On paper, The Sims is a boring, uninteresting, pointless game. Actually playing it, however, is strangely enjoyable. I have no idea why.

More pics tonight.

[Paul.Power]

More pics tonight.Because Will Wright.

[Star Worms]

Damn you and your American time zone :p

[SupSuper]

On paper, The Sims is a boring, uninteresting, pointless game. Actually playing it, however, is strangely enjoyable. I have no idea why.

More pics tonight.I think Maxis caught on themselves. While the first Sims was pretty much a innovative yet boring uninteresting pointless sim, the expansions were popular for the zaniness they added, so they ended up making The Sims 2 so zany that you'll even question if you're actually dealing with humans anymore.

[Star Worms]

Because Will Wright.I wonder if his middle name begins with a B...

Damnit it's R. Hmm I suppose now it's more internet like: Will aer right!11!1

[KRD]

You mean "rite", of course.

This thread is at least as awesome as the previous ones. Carry on.

[Squirminator2k]

Bugger, I was supposed to update this. Remind me when I get home.

[Paul.Power]

I can't really remind you when you get home unless you remind me when you get home.

So to speak.

[Squirminator2k]

And now everyone, give it up for the ODball House Band!

Matty, on the piano!
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/67.jpg

S-2K, on the drums!
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/68.jpg

Andy, on the guitar!
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/69.jpg

And Angelus on bass!
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/70.jpg

Is it just me, or does Angelus...
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/71.jpg
...look a bit like the Prince of Persia?

[Squirminator2k]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/72.jpg
Regrettably, after repeated use of the microwave, no one has burnt the house down. Yet.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/73.jpg
Hang on, where's he going?

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/74.jpg
Ah, at least now we know why he's not leaving.

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/75.jpg
He's clearly drunk.

[SupSuper]

http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/72.jpg
Regrettably, after repeated use of the microwave, no one has burnt the house down. Yet.I think ovens are better candidates.

[MtlAngelus]

And Angelus on bass!
http://stuff.benpaddon.co.uk/sims2/70.jpg

You mean, guitar? :p
And Andy's on the bass. :p

[Squirminator2k]

I know, I realised I'd got them mixed around about half an hour ago :)

[thomasp]

*Bumpity-bump*

Any updates?

[Squirminator2k]

Yep, but I'm just getting ready for work now so I'll bung 'em up tonight.
