Don't know what got into Clay as he's not evil or mean. Erratic sims tend to be more prone to mean interactions though and when he accused Nemmie of spying that was due to his paranoid trait I think. Plus they were all pretty angry after those fights which means sims are more inclined to be mean.

He isn't the only contestant to have exchanged mean interactions with Nemmie though, as you know!

@SoulGal7

It got quite vicious in this house! I must be evil myself as I loved watching them all yell at one another I don't think I've seen that 'fail' outcome for throwing a drink before so I found it funny too and had to include it. All the contestants are really interesting personalities - and whoever marries Nemmie is going to have to be a bit um... Interesting... to put up with her

@kkira555

Thank you so much for saying that, I'm glad that you think I wrote Kris well. It was a shame that they had to go so soon as they are a great sim, and I'd have liked to have had the chance to play with them for longer. But unfortunately Nemmie sabotaged their relationship on the first day by yelling at them and then didn't really interact with them as much so they ended up with the lowest points

@VanPelt81

The fact that it was Clay who was mean to Nemmie twice was a surprise as he's not mean or evil but his erratic and paranoid traits were doing the work there I think. Feeding the eliminated contestants to a cow plant would absolutely be Nemmie's style... But I wouldn't allow it as I like all the contestants too much to do that to them!

Hi @MaggieMarley ! Just wanted to say the challenge is amazing so far. This generation is already starting great... oh boy. An evil bachelorette sure makes for fun!

MaggieMarley

@TheYayToast thank you so much! I'm having a lot of fun with an evil bachelorette. She makes everything quite unpredictable!

Day 4 Part 1

@MaggieMarley

Awesome chapter as always!

Cheering on a certain few characters, and I had to laugh at all the Sims coming to snoop on Nemmie! I've had a similar problem in my game, too.

MaggieMarley

@lilypadmeulin thank you!

There's always a lot of family stalking in the bachelor/ettes but holding a date in the same neighbourhood as the legacy house probably didn't help this time lol

@MaggieMarley -

I always find those skating animations hilarious, and, this chapter was no exception. Like how Nemmie looked before she went skating, like....seriously? lol Oh, Adam did rather well in skating...this sim keeps surprising me, and then, of course, he falls. hehehe With a model pose. Love it. Oh he admires Nemmie...love it...way to go Adam...keep up the schmoozing of the Bachelorette. hehehe Love all the other contestants and how they skated (chuckle).

MaggieMarley

@SoulGal7

I found Nemmie's expression before the skating funny too, she definitely did not want to do it!

At least Adam failed in quite a stylish way

I thought it was so cute that he told Nemmie he admired her twice! Clearly has a little crush going on already haha.

Day 4 Part 2

@MaggieMarley -

Yes, I think it is rather fair to have the same group date at the same venue, although it did seem a bit more crowded this time. Oh gosh! And Nemmie falls...and no-one helps her. Too funny! I love this rivalry going on between Aspen and Keanu. And Keanu elbows her and she falls. That is hilarious! These two are plotting ways to get back at each other. Love it! Ooops there seems to be a power struggle going on between Petal and Nemmie...and...oof...that doesn't sit too well with Nemmie. So sorry to hear that Petal is leaving. I really liked this sim and thought she would be a shoe-in with Nemmie. Sorry to see her go.

Caught up to the latest chapters...

4.1

Laughing at the bachelors & bachelorettes skating "prowless" as well as laughing at Hayden's foolish idea to mock Nemmie's outfit just because Nemmie did it first (even though both have a very similar everyday outfit.) I was also laughing at Eden getting a "Butt Hurt" mood (which I honestly have never seen in the game though I don't typically play with high maintenance sims.)

4.2

That fart joke from Alyssa was really clever for a fart & poop joke. Part of me hopes that Alyssa did this afterwards. Shame to see Petal go but was laughing at how Petal was eliminated (as well as the Nemmie wishing she had the ability to feed Petal to the cowplant.)

@MaggieMarley

I think we'll all miss Petal, but I adored this chapter too.

MaggieMarley

@SoulGal7

There were more townies using the rink on this date for some reason which annoyingly made it more crowded.

I wish there was an in game way for sims to trip other sims up during roller skating but it certainly looked like that was what had gone on in the pictures. I really like how some of the contestants hate each other's guts now due to the fighting challenge. It adds a real sense of rivalry between them!

I was sorry to see Petal go too... But she really didn't help herself by being mean to Nemmie!

@VanPelt81

I felt like Hayden wouldn't be the sort to take Nemmie mocking her lying down, she'd definitely come up with something to say back Nemmie mocking Hayden's outfit was pretty dumb though as they are dressed so similarly. But then sims are not exactly bright...

LOL well I had to google gross jokes and it was one of the few that were PG enough to include in the chapter. That South Park clip - Nemmie would not have enjoyed that!

Poor Petal, but I think she and Nemmie both want a partner that they can boss around so they'd probably be miserable together!

@lilypadmeulin

Petal will definitely be missed! She was a great sim and I'd have liked to explore her character more. But thank you so much

Day 5

Oh my gosh! I was laughing through most of this chapter. When I saw it was pufferfish nigiri that they ordered at the food stall, I knew something was up. So, boom unsuspecting victims have to eat the dishes prepared by the contestants. And I guess it's a good thing that Adam did away with someone, because he was in the lead. That was, until Cerise led with a fatal blow of not one, not two...but three sims! Geez! Cerise really upped it in this challenge. This is exactly the type of challenge that I could see Nemmie masterminding. lol Too hilarious! Really great chapter.

MaggieMarley

@SoulGal7

I actually have you to thank for prompting me to come up with this challenge! When you asked for challenge ideas for your Survivor challenge, the a challenge where everyone would make pufferfish nigiri and the winner/s would be those who didn't kill anyone occurred to me. When I was trying to come up with 'evil' challenges for Nemmie, a pufferfish nigiri challenge with the opposite objective seemed like an obvious choice!

Adam definitely did well compared to Hayden, Ashton and Gabriel so he can be proud of that, but Cerise blew them all out of the water!

VanPelt81

Day 5

The whole challenge was hilarious from the premise of the challenge to Hayden's slow cooking time due to her nails to the complete failures of Ashton, Gabriel, & Hayden in regards to killing their sims for the challenge. Congrats to Cerise for murdering the most dinner guests this challenge. Can't wait to see the other house have their try at murdering dinner guests with food.

MaggieMarley

Thank you @VanPelt81

I'm glad that you liked it! TS4 makes it hard to do truly 'evil' things in the game (without mods) so death by pufferfish nigiri was the closest I could come up with to actual murder. Cerise did well for the second challenge in a row! House 2's attempt at the challenge was also very entertaining just need to write the chapter for that.

lilypadmeulin

Day 5

As I said over on WordPress, I loved this chapter. I think it was original and well thought out as a challenge, and the way that the contestants reacted was amazing. I'm really loving how you're portraying Cerise and I'm just hooked on this challenge!

MaggieMarley

@lilypadmeulin

Thank you for your lovely comment! It was a fun challenge to play so I'm glad that it was also enjoyable to read about. It's good to hear that I'm portraying Cerise as you intended more murderous pufferfish nigiri to come next time

Day 6...

Man did Keanu impress with this challenge killing 5 unsuspecting sims. Aspen and her 4 deaths would've won the challenge if she was in the other house. Crazy how she was the one voted out.

MaggieMarley

@VanPelt81

I couldn't believe it when Keanu's victims just kept dying lol Aspen leaving just goes to show that negative socials can weigh out the benefit of challenge wins... She really sabotaged her own chances there haha.
