The Sims 3: Now 3 times as awkward!

[SupSuper]

With The Sims 3's imminent release, it's only fair to bring back one of this forum's greatest traditions: making fun of ourselves! For those unfamiliar, we throw a bunch of forum-lookalikes into The Sims and let them take care of themselves without intervention, laughing our asses off at how terrible we are. A fine example (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=29109).

Since the forum was down, I took the liberty of gathering up some folks by MSN. But there's still room! You want to be thrown into this bloody mess? Great! All you have to do is provide me with the following details:

- A full pic of yourself or whatever you want to look like, any extra details you want. The Sims 3 is crazy mad about customization.
- 5 Traits (http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Traits) (you can't pick opposite Traits)
- 1 Lifetime Wish (this depends on your Traits, so post those first and I'll tell you your options)
- Favorite Food (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/favorite_food.png) (too lazy to transcribe it all)
- Favorite Music Genre (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/favorite_music.png) (Electronic, Pop, Latina, Indie, Classic, Kiddie, Custom)
- Favorite Color (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/favorite_color.png)

No more contestants!

As soon as I get The Sims 3, I'll make everyone's sims and we'll be ready to go. Given the game's city-scale and much more advanced AI, this should be a blast!

[Obviously this thread will be full of big yummy screenshots so it isn't recommended for anyone with a slow connection]

[FutureWorm]

you better include akuryou in similar fashion to the last time

[Akuryou13]

Normally I would be wearing a black shirt but currently I'm on a shortage of clothing so... yeah.

[SupSuper]

Wow, we're gonna end up with 9 sims, hope I can handle that. :p

you better include akuryou in similar fashion to the last timeI've got a new victim planned (that's what the ???? is for), don't you worry. Akuryou has made it through one game, we need fresh blood. :D

I want in. I'll get a picture later.

There doesn't seem to be a taco in that picture. Are there more options there? Anything that symbolizes mexican food? If there isn't then go with Poison. If there's no poison either go with the lassagna.Only what's in the pic. The favorite options are terrible and ambigious, but I guess they matter the least.

I'll let you all know your possible Lifetime Wishes once I get home.

[Akuryou13]

I've got a new victim planned (that's what the ???? is for), don't you worry. Akuryou has made it through one game, we need fresh blood. :Doh come, now. I've not had NEARLY enough :p I DEMAND a viking helmet! :mad:

[SupSuper]

oh come, now. I've not had NEARLY enough :p I DEMAND a viking helmet! :mad:You can keep your old look (if Sims 3 can handle it), you just won't be the only pincushion this time. :p

[bonz]

Meh.
I would have liked to be in it too.

What's a shared flat without a clown?

[SupSuper]

Meh.
I would have liked to be in it too.

What's a shared flat without a clown?Oh hell why not, you're in, 10 is a nice round number. Just post up your info.

If it becomes too much for me to bear, I'll just split you into two households.

Why no, I did NOT intend to get any sleep these next few nights, thanks for asking. :eek:

[Alien King]

It was hilarious reading the last one; no doubt this will also be good.

[thomasp]

I really should get The Sims 3 when it comes out, seeing as I now have two platforms on which it can be played (well, three I suppose... :p): MacBook Pro (Windows or Mac) and iPhone...

[Xinos]

Damn it! I always miss out on things like this. Well, at least I noticed while the thread was on page one. Recruiting on msn is just cheating.

Fine. I'll start my own forum game. Soon. ish.

[KRD]

Too late... :eek:

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[worMatty]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

[[ Ah well, my character was pretty boring last time. I made some butties and got harassed by an old man, pretty much 'bout it! It's a shame we never got to see the relationship between Dan, Andy and Bonz develop. Was I the only straight one in there, along with Nathan? Gyah. ]]

[Akuryou13]

along with Nathan?not sure that I was even straight so much as a general douche bag to everyone around me :p

[SupSuper]

You can make your own games, it's not like I copyrighted it. :p

I hope green clown hair and a red clown nose is possible this time around.
Last time I looked more like a sad, militaristic harlequin. :pThere is clown makeup available.
I'm not sure we can get Akuryou a viking hat though, at least until the modding community starts doing their thing.


Anyways, I'VE COMPUTED ALL YOUR DATA INTO THE MATRIX, and these are your possible lifetime wishes. You can only pick one. Although no harm will come from not following them, unlike The Sims 2' aspirations, so it will just give the AI a general goal.

eh, I can't decide so I'll just go with Jack of All Trades Heartbreaker.

edit: yeah, heartbreaker is definitely 200% more hilarious :p

[MtlAngelus]

Emperor of Evil sounds about right. :cool:

[FutureWorm]

living in the lap of luxury for sure

[Star Worms]

Emperor of Evil sounds about right. :cool:Excellent choice. I can't imagine a better lifetime aspiration :p

I'll pick the Expert thief.

[bonz]

I'll go for "International Super Spy".
And catch all the evil emperors and experts in thievery.

[SupSuper]

I think this game has gone to my head, I'm starting to see plumbobs everywhere!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Fotos/Img045.jpg

[Squirminator2k]

Can I play?

[Akuryou13]

Can I play?only if one of them stand on your head first.

[Squirminator2k]

You assume I don't like that sort of thing.

[Akuryou13]

You assume I don't like that sort of thing.you make a good point :p

[FutureWorm]

i just keep refreshing this thread hoping to see a digital version of myself, but alas

[Star Worms]

Damn you. After having a few beers I was about to say the game had amazing graphics...

[SupSuper]

Work in progress!

Realizations about getting Sims 3:
- Some of these choices are terrible! Like hair, which is either "normal" or some completely crazy choices. Or lousy beard/moustache combos. So you all will probably end up looking fairly samey. Ugh.
- Body sliders are a lot more restricted. You can't make extremely absurd-looking faces anymore. I might just have to make Aku look like himself instead of viking dude. :(
- On the other hand, colors and clothing are crazy customizable. Pretty much any color can be changed, even colors in textures, and you can even mix textures up so you could have a shirt with a brick texture!
- It seems to have much more built-in custom content support. You can just get packs of new stuff, like textures, furnitures, clothing, hair, houses, etc, and the game will install it all for you.

Also my game is in portuguese and I never played Sims 2, in case I seem too awe-struck by "new features". :p

[Akuryou13]

shame about the viking look, but perhaps you can find suitable clothes to make up for it.

I assume you can find my facebook pic or dA pics or something for reference for my RL look. I've got no real pics to give you except 2 of me goofing off with a friend looking an idiot (gee, go figure, I know).

[Star Worms]

I know what you mean about the hair - it was the same in Sims 2. There were about 3 or 4 styles that you might actually use for a proper game and the other 20-odd were useless.

[Vader]

Aw maaannn, I want in!

Bummer.

[Paul.Power]

Work in progress!

Splapp's looking pretty vicious there, though. Better watch out :p.

[MtlAngelus]

So you cannot have a beard without a mustache? D:

[bonz]

No curly clown hair? Meh.

[MonkeyforaHead]

Work in progress!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/the_crew.png


I wonder how this new "Infinity gender" option works. :p

I'm strongly debating getting the game myself, in which case I could probably throw together another forum house. Or at the very least I may go back to Sims 2 for a bit.

[Vader]

I would get this game but it requires PixelShader 2.0 and my card doesn't even have 1.0, so... bah.

[Xinos]

I would get this game but it requires PixelShader 2.0 and my card doesn't even have 1.0, so... bah.

lol. Can you even use bump mapping in games without Pixel Shader 1?

[Vader]

I doubt it. I haven't gamed on this PC since my proper card broke. I'm tempted to try and fix it but if something were to go wrong and my whole PC died I'd be much worse off.

I've already blown the USB ports on this machine. *sigh* :rolleyes:

[Star Worms]

How did you manage to blow the USB ports?

[Akuryou13]

How did you manage to blow the USB ports?well all you really need to do is put your mouth up to the sides of your computer and.....


...I'll see myself out...

[SupSuper]

So you cannot have a beard without a mustache? D:Only like 1% of beards don't have moustaches, and none of them matched yours.

No curly clown hair? Meh.Nope, no curly hair. EA lives in perfection land, where everyone also has a moustache. Or something.

I tried to fix this by "buying" some hairstyles at the Sims Store thing they have, where you can get extra EA content with points and something. Turns out they're all still terrible. Ah well.

I wonder how this new "Infinity gender" option works. :PThe real question is why is there no infinity age!

I'm strongly debating getting the game myself, in which case I could probably throw together another forum house. Or at the very least I may go back to Sims 2 for a bit.Dooooooo it. Your last Sims 2 game was wonderful (and inspiring), and all these extra forumers could use a home.


Ok, so it's the moment you've all been waiting for!
I mostly made these based on your pics and making you all distinguishable and not become the tshirt-and-jeans-with-a-nice-haircut-crew.

However, feel free to be picky on it all you want, you got around the weekend until I start the game. Easiest stuff to change are colors and textures. You can have any color you want anywhere, they give you a color picker. And the textures are all vectors or something so you can change their colors too and they resize well etc.
Clothing is also pretty easy to change and mix+match, specially with the above features. Just try to stay distinguishable.
If you're that bothered, here are the horrible hairstyles (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/terrible_hair.png) and beards (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/terrible_beard.png) you can pick from. They look a lot worse in use.

Anyways, the game only takes up to 8 people in the same household, so I split you into two teams. This should make you easier to manage, plus Sims 3 actually lets you go over to the neighbour's house so you should still meet up. So I decided to make Aku an old grisly viking again so there'd be a comedy relief in each place.

Team OD

Mad Madness
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/madness.jpg
There was no beard that could match his might, but Mad can not live without one.

Splapp
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/splapp.jpg
Sadly, by Sim standards, he looks very plain.

Melon
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/melon.jpg
With hair like that, he'll be sure to continue getting all the ladies.

Bonz
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/bonz.jpg
I decided to use shorter hair to replicate the curly one. Makeup doesn't quite match though, but at least he's still a clown at heart.

Akuryou
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/akuryou.jpg
Harsh economic times made him forgo his viking hat for a more cheaply maintainable top hat.

[SupSuper]

Team 17

FutureWorm
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/futureworm.jpg
Quite like how he turned out, as long as I got the colors right.

Star Worms
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/starworms.jpg
Trying to vary hairstyles a bit.

Paul.Power
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/paulpower.jpg
As simple as his traits are, he is very very easy to recognize from afar.

MtlAngelus
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/mtlangelus.jpg
Nothing like his pic, but it's the thought that counts. Now he truly looks mexican! :P

And last, but not least...

Plasma
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/plasma.jpg
I'm sure you're all wondering how I did it, but thanks to lots of under-handed jobs, I managed to get my hands on pics of him just so I could reproduce his visage 100% accurately. Anything less and it simply wouldn't be Plasma.

[FutureWorm]

FutureWorm
Quite like how he turned out, as long as I got the colors right.


owns, and yes the colors are perfect. fun thing is i actually own a vest like that irl

[MtlAngelus]

Man, looks nothing like me. :p

[Squirminator2k]

I love just how not-in-this I am.

[bonz]

Hehe!
Plasma is even better in this than the Mad Viking Aku. :)

Make sure you make him completely crazy!

[Akuryou13]

he looks more like a crazy old man than I do!

I love it!

[thomasp]

Does that mean that about a year after this game finishes we'll be letting Plasma into OD and then hoping he either doesn't notice this thread or sees the funny side to it? :p

[Akuryou13]

Does that mean that about a year after this game finishes we'll be letting Plasma into OD and then hoping he either doesn't notice this thread or sees the funny side to it? :pplasma in OD?! BLASPHEMY! *determinedly ignores the giant hammer of irony beating him over the skull*

[Vader]

How did you manage to blow the USB ports?

I tried plugging the case ports into the motherboard while the PC was on. A loud pop and some smoke ensued.

I was drunk at the time.

[SupSuper]

Man, looks nothing like me. :pWell look on the bright side, you've... erm... got a black shirt with a skull on it. :p
If you want me to just get rid of the beard or something, let me know.

I love just how not-in-this I am.I love how you can't read, but I'm not gonna kiss you for it.

Ten people is the limit, plain and simple. Start your own thread if you want.

Hehe!
Plasma is even better in this than the Mad Viking Aku. :)

Make sure you make him completely crazy!Oh yes I've put special effort in him. I've put up everyone's info on the first post now so you can check it out.

[FutureWorm]

why is everyone all horizontally stretched out?

[SupSuper]

why is everyone all horizontally stretched out?I was running the game on a window so I could easily make sims, so the resolution was a bit wonky.

Also fullscreen shots (Print Screen) come out a lot darker for some bizarre reason (the game's full of graphical glitches), but by the time we're in-game I can use the built-in screenshot tool to fix that.

[Worm Mad]

I approve of this thread and/or product! :)

[Splapp]

Hahah! This is looking fantastic. :D

[Muzer]

I wish I'd actually looked at this thread; I expected it to just be people talking about the Sims :p

[SupSuper]

I wish I'd actually looked at this thread; I expected it to just be people talking about the Sims :pWhat? You actually expect me to play Sims, and not make fun of everyone I know? Surely you jest. :p

Anyways Bonz requested I put up a pic of the changes he requested, so here you go:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/bonz.jpg
(refresh the page if it hasn't changed since last time)

[MtlAngelus]

Speaking of changes, give me a full beard instead, slightly long if possible.

Also, is that the only long-hair option there?

[SupSuper]

Also, is that the only long-hair option there?Like this?

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/mtlangelus.jpg

Yes there's only one male long hair. Again, here are the horrible hairstyles (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/terrible_hair.png) and beards (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/terrible_beard.png) you can pick from. They look a lot worse in use.

[Star Worms]

Actually would it be possible to give me a stubble? (something similar to Worm Mad/Angelus)

[FutureWorm]

only problem with my sim is the jeans. i wouldn't wear boot cut if my life depended on it

[SupSuper]

Ok everyone's been updated based on requests, and the pics are a proper ratio now. (refresh if you don't see it)

To keep this from dragging on though, this is the last day you can have your sim changed. I'll start the game tomorrow.

And in the interest of science, I tried to ask Sims 3 what a child of Akuryou and Plasma would look like. No dice, I had to shack Plasma up with a woman (crazy, I know):
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/plasma_jr.jpg
Awww, he's got his father's cheeks. :3

[MtlAngelus]

Eh, that's good enough. :p

[BetongÅsna]

awww, he's got his father's cheeks. :3Giggidy giggidy goo!

[Vader]

only problem with my sim is the jeans. i wouldn't wear boot cut if my life depended on it

I can't tell whether you're being serious or not.

[FutureWorm]

I can't tell whether you're being serious or not.
i'm serious about wearing boot cut, joking about caring

[Vader]

i'm serious about wearing boot cut, joking about caring

I had no idea people paid that much attention to their jeans. :-/

[FutureWorm]

am i at the skinniest setting you can possibly be at?

[BetongÅsna]

Probably. Pufferjackets do tend to make you look ... well, puffy.

[FutureWorm]

i'm just saying that if i'm not rail-thin then this isn't true to life

speaking of size, why is akuryou so skinny?

[Zero72]

I'm paying attention, by the way, I just lack anything useful to input. :p

Looking pretty great so far, anyway. Plasma's bicycle helmet is a perfect touch. Too bad you can't put anime cat whiskers on him, though.

[FutureWorm]

Too bad you can't put anime cat whiskers on him, though.

haha, too true

[SupSuper]

am i at the skinniest setting you can possibly be at?You are now.

i'm just saying that if i'm not rail-thin then this isn't true to life

speaking of size, why is akuryou so skinny?He's already like 60% fat, Sims 3 just isn't big on beer bellies.

I'm paying attention, by the way, I just lack anything useful to input. :p

Looking pretty great so far, anyway. Plasma's bicycle helmet is a perfect touch. Too bad you can't put anime cat whiskers on him, though.A man can dream...

Anyways, sorry about the delay, I got caught it with uni work, but it's all done now. Here's how this is gonna play out. Both teams will be placed on neighbour houses so they can still meet each other, and every day or so I will swap gameplay between each. Since it's virtually impossible to find a cheap house, and you guys need large houses to accomodate you all, I used a cheat so I could place you in the biggest most expensive houses. Without further ado...

Welcome to Sunset Valley.

[SupSuper]

So apparently, not only has EA been desperately trying to give The Sims a plot, The Sims 3 is already a prequel! That's right, it takes place before the other games in terms of Sunset Valley being an early version of previous towns, the Mortimers still being kids and OH GAWD JUST QUIT FEEDING THE TROLLS FANFIC WRITERS.

For some reason, everyone arrives on the lot perfectly fine except Akuryou who's already starving.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_004.jpg
Ugh, I'm so hungry I could eat Melon.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_005.jpg
Let me tell you, I am such a damn stud that it makes me go cross-eyed.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_006.jpg
Bonz and Splapp proceed to inspect the area.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_007.jpg
And it doesn't take long before people start hitting the books. For some reason, this happens a lot in The Sims 3.

Melon quickly resumes reading.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_016.jpg
OH MY GAWD YOU HAVE A BOOK I HAVE ONE TOO!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_017.jpg
Splapp starts what he does best: pretending he can hold a paintbrush.

[SupSuper]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_018.jpg
Errrrgh, why can't I get rid of this zit? Oh wait, that's my face.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_019.jpg
Bonz does what he does best, clowning around for everyone's entertainment.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_020.jpg
HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WE WERE HAVING A BOOK PARTY

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_021.jpg
Bonz isn't interested in all that snobby cultural crap, he'd rather just sit down and watch some TV.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_022.jpg
That's-a spicy meatball!

[SupSuper]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_023.jpg
Hey, what say you and me go make a sandwich, if you know what I mean.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_024.jpg
Bonz knows all too well what he means, and he's having none of that.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_025.jpg
Ugh, and your breath smells like a toilet too.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_026.jpg
MY BREATH DOES NOT SMELL WHY I'LL SHOW HIM *brush brush brush*
The best part is how Akuryou simply decided to brush his teeth in the kitchen. That's not a mirror, it's a window!

[SupSuper]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_027.jpg
- Did I ever tell you the story about the fishing rod?
- I don't like where this is going.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_028.jpg
- Did you know they mercilessly murder innocent little fishies?
- NO STOP

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_029.jpg
- And then ghost fishies come and haunt you!
- AH THE HORROR GET AWAY

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_030.jpg
AHAHAHA YOU'RE SO INSANE, SO AM I, LET'S BE BEST FRIENDS

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_031.jpg
Splapp's masterpiece so far.

[Star Worms]

Wow, Splapp's art has gone downhill...

[Paul.Power]

The Team OD Reading Group

[Akuryou13]

what? you don't make a normal habit of brushing your teeth in front of a window?

[Vader]

This is already brilliant :)

[SupSuper]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_032.jpg
- I like Laptops.
- What? No way! Desktop PCs are totally much better!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_033.jpg
Ugh, I've never seen someone say such rude things about Desktops!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_034.jpg
Yeah, you guys are gonna get along great.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_035.jpg
In the meantime, Madness is just chillaxing.
(I eventually remember to replace the couple beds with single ones)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_036.jpg
UGH WHY IS EVERYONE SO MEAN, MUST DROWN SORROWS AWAY

[Alien King]

They're all going to end up hating each other aren't they?

[SupSuper]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_037.jpg
Madness proceeds to check out the view. He sure is a relaxed sim.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_038.jpg
OH THAT BONZ, HE'S SO SILLY

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_039.jpg
Your painting reminds me of a fish I caught once... it is a fish, isn't it?

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_040.jpg
And like clockwork, everyone gets hungry and aims for the fridge.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_041.jpg
OH BOY THERE'S STILL WAFFLES LEFT

[SupSuper]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_042.jpg
IT'S WAFFLES TIME

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_043.jpg
Splapp puts on some nicer clothes and goes have a sit. He just sits there. Awaiting. Silently.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_044.jpg
Aku's looking really posh here.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_045.jpg
Man, I am such a handsome fellow.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_046.jpg
Sleep or no sleep, Bonz must practice his shenanigans.

[SupSuper]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_047.jpg
- Dude, you're in the way of some serious reading!
- Why I never. And here I was taking your plate and everything.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_048.jpg
I understand washing dishes is humiliating, but you don't have to hide yourself in the bathroom.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_049.jpg
Splapp resumes drinking. He assures us he doesn't have a problem.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_050.jpg
BOY, THIS SURE IS A COMFY TOILET

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_051.jpg
And just like that, it's gone!

[SupSuper]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_052.jpg
Bonz and Melon hit the sack.
(split the beds now)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_053.jpg
Sleep is no match for some SERIOUS WAFFLING.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_054.jpg
Why, is that a book? I've got one too!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_055.jpg
...and so does Splapp.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_056.jpg
GUYS WILL YOU QUIET DOWN I'M TRYING TO READ IN HERE

[SupSuper]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_057.jpg
SERIOUS READING REQUIRES SOME SERIOUS LIGHTING

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_058.jpg
I can't go to bed, or my horrible horrible life will come and haunt me!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_059.jpg
...or not. Madness joins him.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_060.jpg
And finally, Akuryou. Wait a minute, is he going to bed with the hat?

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day01_061.jpg
Erm... I guess he is.

And that's the end of this day! Hope you enjoyed it.

[Alien King]

He's obviously quite attached to that hat.
Literally.

[Zero72]

I love how chill Mad is.

And also that somebody entered and almost immediately barfed for no apparent reason.

[Akuryou13]

clearly the hat is my life line as much as guns are the lifelines of soviet guards.

[BetongÅsna]

I didn't even realize they could vomit. Clearly I spend too much time making my sims be careful and live a good life.

[Melon]

This thread is hilarious. I am such a damn stud!

[worMatty]

Not bad. Seems pretty day-to-day.

[FutureWorm]

soooooooooooooo...

[Squirminator2k]

Something about The Sims 2 just seems so... soulless.

[Xinos]

Something about The Sims 2 just seems so... soulless.

And Sims 3 doesn't?

[SupSuper]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day02_001.jpg
Now what the hell is going on here?

Hey. Remember this thread? I sure don't! So how about that Team 17? No not that one.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/photo_17.jpg
This one!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day02_002.jpg
Everytime you switch families, it resets them to their starting positions.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day02_003.jpg
Wait, wasn't I sleeping just a minute ago?

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/Sims17/day02_004.jpg
It's impossible, your hair simply defies science!

[SupSuper]
