Ok, I created a Sim and moved him in. Of course I gave him all of the eccentric traits that I could, and when it comes to his fashion sense, he's definitely a trend-setter. He'll definitely get noticed around town...
Continuing on in Willow Creek, I decided to rehab the Streamlet Single property. Back in the 70's/80's, earthtones were very common in interior decorating, so I decided to make a period-correct house. Lots of orange and green carpeting, along with wall tones in brown, olive green, and pale blue.
I also tried to make the furniture as correct as possible, meaning all dark brown. And of course, a console stereo!
Now to create a character for that house, and I have someone in mind...
Honestly, I can only post about half of my actual gameplay here--the rest would either violate the PG-rating of the forums, or would be seen as politically incorrect
Given that I only play for laughs, I'll leave the rest open to imagination
Not long after I started playing, Alice got a phone call that her dad passed away. Luckily I was able to get his urn and put it in the family cemetary I made
Alice's mom, Paige moved in. She has the active trait so she still has quite a bit of time left.
Back in my mad scientist alien save, Ailsa and Laraana have just had a bouncing baby boy
The cousins decided they needed another chat with Ailsa
Work on the laboratory/control room overlooking the rocket chamber has commenced
Another view of the bunker. With the addition of another light well and the lab, I've discovered you can actually have 30 windows and 20 columns in a bunker. Now I just need to get the value up to 350k simoleons.
" Still waiting for a patch to fix all the bugs that came in the pre-patch and EL pack, in particular the gardening bug. I'd be devastated if something borked my Drifters save file. o.O"
@Karababy52 Can you do a Save As copy of that game and play on the copy 2 version? You could play that new save without risking corrupting the original copy and, if things go well, you can make the copy your main save and keep the original version as an emergency back up that is not quite up to date but saved just in case.
Well, I did it this time; I just created a new Sim today, and he's managed to kill someone already.
Josh at "Let's Game It Out" on Youtube created a TS4 character named Igot McDemshoulders, but he just called him Keanu for short (he looks a lot like Keanu Reeves)....I created a look-alike today. On 2 separate days, he woohoo'd with Baako Jang's wife right in front of him, and the second time he got so angry that he died.
I came upon a video on YouTube comparing k-pop girl groups on which is better. Now, I’m no K-pop fan (I clicked the link because the girls looked pretty lol) But guys, don't do that! Respect other people's preferences. It's 👏 not 👏 that 👏 hard! 👏
But I did want to find out which girl group would SURVIVE the night in a haunted mansion , and so I devised this mini-game.
I downloaded the girl groups in question off tumblr. Black Pink lol
And Red Velvet lol There was this other girl group too but meh.
Now the mechanics are simple. They just have to make it through the night: from sunset to sunrise—alive—without my interference. But here's the twist! I have a mod that puts a malevolent spirit among them. So they have to use their tiny little Sim brains to avoid the spirit and having their souls extracted from their bodies.
Lol first death.
What is it with Sims clumping together to mourn strangers? The ghost child killed majority of them here.
Netflix and kill with the Grim Reaper. LOL
When there was only one survivor left, I exorcised the ghost.
And unlocked the doors just as the sun rose outside.
Congratulations Blackpink's Rose! You win the challenge as the Ultimate Kpop Girl! For your prize, you get to bury the dead! Yay!
Now excuse me as I go cleanse my sins for doing this

That's a great idea! Thank you so much for the suggestion, I don't know why I didn't think to do this myself. o.O Next time I load up to play, I'll try it and see how it goes. Thanks again!
Sally Greene is an art critic but she also writes books. She spent the whole Sunday writing.
Sally's teenage son Tom went walking with their dog Sammy.
In the afternoon Tom invited his girlfriend Amie to the new Star Wars restaurant that was opened in Oasis Springs (I downloaded it from the gallery, I love it).
On Monday morning Tom was on a great mood listening to music and eating french toast that he made himself.
Sally looks like she's grumpy 24/7. This is her default facial expression.
Started a new save for the first time since April.
No, no kid or dog. Those are the neighbor's.
A new save is always fun...it's like starting with a blank canvas, and the possibilities are endless
Well I had waited for the next two packs to come out to build a bundle, but since I won't get Star Wars ever, and Knitting was just "meh" for me, I opted to instead just buy Eco Lifestyle the other day and started my new game this morning.
Today I'm back with Nate and his club. The last time, I had put a bee box right next to the sidewalk at his house, and sometimes people passing by would get stung. I found that to be so hilarious that I put 2 more boxes out by the sidewalk, and I make sure that Nate keeps the bees in an enraged state--the end result is that anyone passing by gets swarmed and stung.
At the club, the janitor situation is completely hopeless. I spend most of the night trying to get him to clean up, and the club is still filthy when Nate leaves. I think I'm just going to fire him, and have Nate come in an hour or two early every day to clean up before the club opens.
One thing that always makes me chuckle--I have the camera zoomed out before opening time, and when the crew arrives, I can see them all coming down the sidewalk, single-file...like a bus just dropped them off around the corner...
EDIT; from the time Nate got up today till the time he left for work, I counted the number of people passing by his house that got stung by bees--4, including Lily Feng and Bjorn Bjergsen...the others were just random NPC's
Ok, maybe I'm fixated on the bee box thing, but I can't help myself
Today I created a small nightclub in Del Sol (not a gentleman's club). The inside is painted yellow and black, and it's called The Buzz. The club has a total of 9 bee boxes in it, 6 of which are placed around the perimeter of the dance floor. I then had one of my Sims go in and disturb all of the bee boxes to make them angry.
People are dancing, but not always to the music...sometimes 8 people or more will get swarmed and bitten at the same time. To date, it is probably in the top 3 funniest things I've ever done in TS4, and it is a blast to watch all of this happen
Erik's phone kept going off, almost every fifteen minutes. Once the local Variety magazine dubbed him a Proper Celebrity, he was wanted all over the place. First a concert, here, then a photoshoot there. Meet & Greets, Showtime Events. Erik's summer was winding down. In less than a week he would be back in school.
So, he was more than startled upon his return from his latest Photoshoot to get yet another call. This one was from his agent, Sam Simms. "You did it, Kid. I knew you had it in you."
"Did what? Yeah, I met a girl, I even kissed her."
"Well, good for you. I saw that in one of those rag mags, too. Say, did her father come after you?"
"Sam, I know that's not why you called. Quit joshing."
"No, you're right. She seems like a very nice girl. Pretty. No, hang onto your signature hat, son. You have made the Big Time. Tomorrow afternoon be down on the Avenue. You know the one. Your spot is located…"
"Yeah, okay. Thanks, Sam, you're the best. No, I'll be there. For sure."
With this news Erik did his own special form of Happy Dance. Sixteen Sim days and he'd made it. Quite the reason to dance.
After a short nap, since he'd been up almost all night, Erik pulled out of bed again. He got dressed and headed over to Kayleigh's house, right next to Kings Park.
She was quick to greet him.
"Hey, is what I heard on the radio true?"
"You mean, that I am getting a Frame to place on the Avenue of the Stars? Yeah. Wanna come along?"
"I would love to, but I would also like you to meet my sisters. This is Regi—"
"Hey, I know you. You're Regina." Erik said. "We met at one of my earlier concerts. How have you been?"
"And, this is my twin, Hayleigh."
"Wow, if it weren't for the different hair styles … Wow."
The event was set for late afternoon. Happily, Joseph Cantrell was off of work around four pm.
The crowd gathered.
The frame dropped, Erik caught it and had a rather curious moment of Deja vu. As if he was reliving the dream he'd had last night.
The only thing missing was the fact Joey wasn't doing ridiculous, numerous prat falls.
After the ceremony Erik had a concert.
Afterwards, everyone got ready for a fancy dinner out. They changed their clothing to something more suitable and headed to Willow Creek to the newly remodeled Chez Llama.
Something very strange had happened in the dream Erik had. But so far, the day was going along very favorably and very smoothly. Almost too smoothly. That, in and of itself, left him a tad unsettled. The Host led them to their table. They barely sat down, the room suddenly quite full of Paparazzi and fans, and plenty of Looky-loos, when it happened.
One of the old Gents, one of the now-familiar Paparazzi absolutely keeled over. He was lying on his side and as still as Erik had ever seen anybody. In his heart, he knew the Sim was dead. Just like in his dream. Only he was awake. He was right in the heart of a waking nightmare. Shaking hands, he pulled the cellphone from his suit jacket and reported the death.
"We'll be sending out the Medical Examiner to check it out. In the meantime, do your best to stay calm."
It took forever and always, but he finally arrived. The Medical Examiner took pictures, presumably to examine later.
And notes. Lots of notes.
Finally, after everybody in the restaurant was sufficiently freaked-out, he covered the body.
Before he left he asked who had made the call. And would he like to be the Executor for this poor Sim? Then he promised they would hear back from him in about two days when the report was ready. Erik volunteered. Joseph Cantrell just shook his head. "Erik," he began.
"I know, Dad, but he was a faithful fan. He always took the best pictures and went out of his way to use reputable magazines. He never told lies about me, that much is certain. I owe him. Besides, I've got Simoleons of my own. I got this. It's the least I can do for him."
All for now! Thanks for reading.
Yes, the game changes, even if the characters don't.
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
I'm still at The Buzz with my guy. My attention was on the bar when I noticed that the music stopped--I looked over, and the dj was under attack by an angry swarm. Then later, another dj came in to take her place--the second he walked in, he was blasted by a wall of bees. There hasn't been more than 30 game seconds gone by before someone gets attacked.
I have to hit the pause button every time before I can take a sip of my beer, because if I don't, I'll wind up spewing it all over my keyboard from laughing...
Oh, now this is cruel! So I sent Keanu McShoulders to the bar, and the bartender was an enemy (solid red bar) because Keanu kept woohooing his wife right in front of him. So Keanu has to order a drink from him. The first time he didn't get it, so I sent him back--the bartender served him a pet drink, which made him sick!
I guess Keanu had it coming, but lesson learned--never order a drink from an enemy!
Don't know if it is apparent but there are tears in the v-neck sim's eyes and all I can imagine him thinking is:
Nah, it's cool. Not jealous. Nope.
