STRIKE! (Casting Call for new story)

Hey all,

As soon as Ironbound finishes up for this Season, I plan to start a silly little story based on a professional bowling league. I loosely say professional as I plan to infuse some drama and comedy into the story.

What I'm looking for are sims that fit into certain teams. Each team will have between 2 - 4 members in them, depending on how many sims I get for the casting call.

I know I use a LOT of CC for Ironbound, but this one I want to do CC (and pose) free so I can power through the gameplay/screenshots. Please give them a Bowling Outfit but note that I'll probably change the top to match certain teams.

When you submit your sims, please use the #STRIKE! hashtag on the gallery upload and add the following information on to this casting call page:
  • Household Name
  • Gallery ID or link to download
  • Background/Bio
  • Pro Experience (Rookie, Veteran or somewhere in between)
  • Team you're submitting them to.

Edit: I've decided to limit the number of sims per person to two, they can be of any gender. I'll let you guys know if this will change at a later stage.

Team Names and Rules for the league will follow in the next two posts.

    Scoring

    Each team has 4 members who will play each individual of the opposite team once per round, and each team will play each other twice - once at Home and once Away. Season standings will be sorted as follows:

    Head-to-head victory = 2 points per game.
    Team Total Score Victory = 3 points.
    Highest Individual Score = 1 point.
    Total of 12 points available for each week.

    There will be two season tables. One for the teams which will use the above points system, and one for the individual bowlers which will just use the Head-to-head points. At some point during the season, teammates will play against each other twice for the purpose of the individual standings.


    Members on tied points total at the end of the season will be determined by highest pinfall and if need be, wins/losses between the tied members.

    The standings probably won't be the focus of the story, as there will be pre/post game interactions which will provide plenty of drama! :D

    Bowling Alleys

    Need 10 in total. Each one should have 8 lanes so that each player can use a single lane (only way to get all of their scores to show instead of just the winners' score.)

    @VanPelt81 Good question! Let's say two for now, might increase this number later if I need to.

    Also, if anyone feels a bit adventurous, I'm thinking that each team should have their own "Home Alley" so if anyone wants to build a Bowling Alley for a specific team, let me know.

    I plan on having one of the Bowling Alleys at the Stargazer Lounge location and call it Skylanes, so if you want that build, say so and I'll reserve it for you.

    Household Name: Hamilton
    Gallery ID or link to download: vanpelt81
    Background/Bio: Florence & Rebecca Hamilton both have bowling in common. Unfortunately they are total opposites otherwise and hate each other so much they are on rival teams. Rebecca was always the favorite in her family getting everything she wanted handed to her while Florence was always the black sheep that was hated. This family dynamic led the two sisters to the point where the only time they ever see each other is in the bowling league as competitors and this rivalry they have spills onto their team mates (some have compared the Hamilton sisters' hatred to the Gallagher brothers from the band Oasis).
    Pro Experience (Rookie, Veteran or somewhere in between): Both Florence & Rebecca are Veterans
    Team you're submitting them to: Florence will be on the Pin Ups; Rebecca will be on the Dolls with Balls

    I also have created the Death Alley Lanes. This alley was built on a 30 x 30 lot and needs at least that much space for 8 lanes to fit. It can be placed in the Club Callico location in Brindleton Bay and be the home alley for the Pin Ups team if you think it's good.

    It can be found using the hashtags #Bowling #STRIKE #Munterbacon

    @LegacySims2017 Thank you for J.B. I’ve added his gallery link to the team post.

    @VanPelt81 Thank you for the Hamilton sisters and Death Alley Lanes, I’ve added both gallery links to to posts above.

    @KleineMuff Thanks! Look forward to seeing what you come up with :)

    I've got them now. Do you want them loaded separately?

    And they don't have any cc on them but for some reason, it tags as cc, so you'll need to hit the advanced button to see them. Sorry about that!

    THX!

    @pammiechick Together or separate, whatever is easier for you :)

    No worries, probably some default replacement stuff messing with ya! :D

    ***DESTINY LAMB***

    JmUG1ST.png

    UfOKifl.png

    Household Name: Destiny

    Gallery ID or link to download Since my plum sims with NO CC have the cc tag, just hit your hashtag STRIKE! and it should show up if you hit the advanced cc button in the gallery.

    Background/Bio: Born with a silver bowling ball, Destiny is rather spoiled, especially since her Father, Brigham, was the Brindleton Bay Bowls champion for twenty reigning years. Destiny's good at bowling and good at catching the eye of boys. Unfortunately, this means girls hate her and always dub her the mean girl (even though she swears she's not!) A bit of a snob, you won't catch Destiny in anything other than designer bowling shoes and upscale alleys. Her favorite things are Chardonnay, videogames, and men. In that order.

    Household Name: Haw

    Gallery ID or link to download Since my plum sims with NO CC have the cc tag, just hit your hashtag STRIKE! and it should show up if you hit the advanced cc button in the gallery.

    Background/Bio: Anthony always hated to be different as his parents were both anthropologists living in the deep jungles of Selvadorada. To everyone he meets, they think he's crazy. Who wouldn't want to live that life of extreme adventure? Unfortunately, Anthony, or Haw, has a deep seated fear of anything that creeps or crawls which is the epitome of the jungle. He just wants to live the good life. You know, settle down with someone he loves, eat a lot of pizza, and bowl every weekend. Is that too much to ask?
