The Big Brother Experiment - Who will be the last Sim standing?

Posts: 850 New Member
I base this idea off of these Big Brother Challenge rules. Basically, eight random Sims will be locked in a house together and left to their own devices. I will not interfere with their actions, just observe how they cope on their own. The last Sim standing wins the game.
I have modified the rules a bit: (1) I won't be evicting anyone; to be eliminated, they will have to die, and (2) I will have slightly different challenges/weekly tasks.
Please click on any of the links below to see what happened on any particular day.
Week 1 Day 1
Week 1 Day 2
Week 1 Day 3 is under construction

Introducing the eight poor Sims who will fight to the finish.
From left to right:
Iqbal Alvi (Adult; Absent-Minded, No Sense of Humor, Neurotic, Couch Potato, Angler.)
Simis Bachelor (Adult; Neurotic, Inappropriate, Handy, Family-Oriented, Frugal.)
Molly French (Adult; Slob, Flirty, Party Animal, Daredevil, Hopeless Romantic.)
Vita Alto (Adult; Schmoozer, Snob, Charistmatic, Evil, Ambitious.)
Agnes Crumplebottom (Young Adult; Loner, Bookworm, Hopeless Romantic, Frugal, Grumpy.)
Marty Keaton (Young Adult; Neurotic, Great Kisser, Loves the Outdoors, Athletic, Friendly.)
Cycl0n3 Sw0rd (Young Adult; Couch Potato, Absent-Minded, Genius, Inappropriate, Computer Whiz.)
Madison VanWatsen (Young Adult; Excitable, Clumsy, Childish, Snob, Ambitious.)
And this is their very humble home. It is pretty ugly, and has almost nothing but the bare minimum. It is completely fenced off so the Sims don't wander away.
The bedroom: four double beds, and a fire place. There are three doors leading out of it. There is also a stereo, to keep them up at night until they learn to turn it off (I'm not even sure if Sims can do that... oh well :XD: )
The kitchen: Top-notch kitchen appliances, and a fire place (I wonder what the Sims will do if there's a fire...)
The bathroom: Small and communal, for both genders. There are four toilets, sinks, three mirrors, as well as showers in two seperate rooms and a washer and dryer.
~~~~~~~~~~
I set it to high free will. I also lit all the fire places, and turned on the stereo. The Sim lifespan is set to Long. Some of the Sims did have stuff in their inventory, all of which I took away. I also made all of them quit their jobs.
I left the Sims alone then, and they all immediately went off to admire their new stuff. All of them except for Vita, that is. She went to admire herself in the mirror.
Well, the Sims can turn off the stereo, so at least they won't be too tormented at night.
However, they are still in for trouble: It is not even halfway into the first day, and a fire starts in the kitchen.
Every Sim rushes over, as they always do.
And they get dangerously close to the fire, as they always do.
Simis catches on fire, but Molly rushes over to save him.
Molly nearly extinguishes Simis...
However, Simis still dies
Apparently already forgetting what just happened to Simis, Molly plays with the fire in the kitchen fire place.
Brief update: I install outdoor lamps, in case something happens during the night and I need to take screenshots. (So cold-hearted, I know :roll: )
Agnes daydreams about fire alarms, but I see no reason to provide one. The lot is fenced in anyway, and even if the firefighters came next time, they wouldn't be able to get in and save the rest of the Sims.
Iqbal just adores his new lamp posts....
I just don't get Iqbal. You can clearly see from the little thought bubble that he still remembers Simis, but does that stop him from poking the fire? Nooooo.
And now Agnes, too. I always thought she had some sense in her head, she just looks so... well-educated and business-like. But apparently not.
Marty obviously does not share Iqbal's feelings about the lamp post...
Molly gets a bit hungry and starts making Hamburger, the most expensive meal she can make.
Finally Agnes starts acting as neat and proper as she looks like she should. (And I swear I did not even notice Marty there when I uploaded the picture :XD: )
They all love the lamp posts!
Oh yes, certainly the most civilized place to mourn Simis... :roll:
Oh, sure, why not let Cycl0n3 join the party?
Marty starts preparing hot dogs, even though there's obviously a plate of fresh, §35 hamburgers there for him to eat.
Only Marty has a problem with the hamburgers, which were labeled Very Nice Quality by the game.
Marty takes forever making his hot dogs, then finally finishes making them, which end up to be only Normal Quality, and goes off to eat them alone, because everyone else is already done eating.
Cycl0n3 washes his plate in the bathroom sink, even though there is a sink in the kitchen that is so much closer, and more hygenic.
Iqbal goes to put away the leftovers, but what's the point? Marty will make more food anyway. :evil:
I didn't know Sims could turn off lights by themselves, but Agnes just did :shock: She just clapped her hands and they turned off.
Now Marty is playing with the fire too. But maybe that wasn't his intent--he looks more like he's looking up the chimney for the ghost of Simis than playing with the fire.
And here's Agnes doing... more laundry.
Vita scares Molly...
Poor Simis, haha! That was a quick death...
Honestly, I now know that I probably won't use high free will in the future. Really, Simis dying within three hours of me setting him loose? :-o
I checked it out, and it seems really fun
Edit: So many typos :oops:
Anyways, good luck with this! Its going pretty well
It is now two o'clock in the morning and none of the Sims are sleeping yet, even though they are all very tired.
Except Agnes, who is... doing laundry. *facepalm*
A notice pops up that Marty's wife just have birth... while Marty was doing laundry. Seriously, what is wrong with these Sims? :evil:
Ooh, Vita joins yesterday's fire-poking party...
Finally, at three in the morning, Agnes and Molly gain enough sense to get to bed.
It does seem like Agnes is not Vita's favorite housemate.
And here's Vita, even though she's absolutely exhausted--doing laundry.
And here's Vita, even though she's even more tired than before--admiring herself in the mirror.
And here, instead of getting a good night's sleep, she gets herself an Evil Strawberry Non-Fat Cappucino.
And here's Iqbal, being all boring and getting himself a Plain Coffee.

Vita and Iqbal are still exhausted, but now cannot sleep. :evil: Now what did that accomplish?
Here's all the good Sims, who went to sleep on time! Yay!
Okay, new score system: Sims do well, and I give them one point. If a Sim has five points and is about to die, I will save them.
~~~~~~~~~~SCORE SO FAR~~~~~~~~~~
Iqbal: 0, Molly: 1, Vita: 0, Agnes: 1, Marty: 1, Cycl0n3: 1, Madison: 1.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, while I'm changing rules, I may as well change another (please bare with me, this is my first time ever doing a Sims 3 Challenge like this)
There may also be mini challenges that last only a day.
~~~~~~~~~~NEW DAILY CHALLENGE~~~~~~~~~~
At precisely ten in the morning, no matter how many Sims are sleeping or otherwise occupied, I will place a "Point Farmer: The Story of Grant Rodiek" book (546 pages) in each Sim's personal inventory. I will not tell them to read the book, they will have to figure that out on their own. The first Sim to finish the book completely will get two points; the second Sim to finish will get one point.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I place the books in the inventories... and at the exact same time, Vita and Iqbal's caffeine wears off.
Unfortunately, at exactly 10:08, a fire starts, and since Cycl0n3 had been poking the fire a few Sim minutes before, he was standing directly in front of the fireplace and caught on fire.
[img]http://llnw.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/362/410/011/00/screenshot_original.jpg "height=300"[/img]
Cycl0n3 starts panicking, which is definitely understandeable because "Contrary to poular belief, being on fire is not healthy and can lead to symptoms including panic, burns, and death."
However, that does not explain why Cycl0n3 now thinks that he can karate chop the flames to make the fire go away.
And yet again, Molly whips out a fire extinguisher and tries to save her housemate.
[img]http://llnw.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/310/418/011/00/screenshot_original.jpg[/img Cycl0n3 is now completely engulfed in flames, and, at the worst possible time, Molly seems to have completely forgotten how to operate the fire exinguisher.[/img]
Agnes, Madison, and Vita are just staring at the flames, looking like they could not care less.
While Cycl0n3 is still trying to put out his pants, Madison and Agnes grab hot dogs, Iqbal goes to get a (still plain) coffee, Vita just stands there and the rest think about chairs.
Cycl0n3 is engulfed in flames again, and then the Sims start caring again and rush back. According to his moodlet, Cycl0n3 only has 26 Sim minutes left efore he dies, unless someone extinguishes him completely before that (which, let's face it, is highly unlikely).
Then, another fire starts in the kitchen! :shock:
Molly leaves poor Cycl0n3, preffering to save her beloved coffee and microwave. None of the other Sims try to extinguish Cycl0n3, and he only has 8 Sim minutes left....
Only 2 Sim minutes left....
Sadly, Cycl0n3 expires. He is the second to die.
And then Molly catches fire! (But she does seem to like it :hunf: )
However, she quickly somehow extinguishes herself.
The ghost of Cycl0n3 (He died in his pajamas).
The Grim Reaper has not even left from picking up Cycl0n3, and already there is another fire, Madison being the victim. (Well, at leas the Grim Reaper won't have to make two trips :roll: )
And yet again, Molly is the only one to rush to the rescue.
Molly has finally succeeded in saving someone! (I'll give her a point
~~~~~~~~~~SCORE SO FAR~~~~~~~~~~
Iqbal: 0, Molly: 2, Vita: 0, Agnes: 1, Marty: 1, Madison: 1.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vita, instead of going to sleep in bed, passes out on the ground. :evil:
And Marty, instead of eating the leftovers, like everyone else, again decides to make his own meal. :evil:
And Madison, instead of taking a shower, checks out her exploded-looking self in the mirror. :evil:
And then Madison goes to scare Molly. I understand Molly's fright completely...
...Except for the fact that Madison is actually hidden behind a wall, and Molly cannot even see her.
Iqbal also passes out.
Then, finally, six and a half hours after the start of the daily challenge to read the book, Agnes catches on and pulls out the book.
Unfortunately, almost immediately after Agnes gets the book, a fire starts in the kitchen and interrupts Agnes.
Finally, someone other than Molly is the one who has to battle the flames.
Thankfully, Marty controls the fire before it kills anyone, so he can head to the bathroom in peace.
Even after all this, Molly has learned nothing.
Agnes is persistent, and she pulls out her book. (However, Vita interrupts her before she can start reading :evil: )
But Agnes does not let Vita distract her! Right after Vita goes away, Agnes settles down on the bed and starts reading. I think Agnes deserves a point for that!
~~~~~~~~~~SCORE SO FAR~~~~~~~~~~
Iqbal: 0, Molly: 2, Vita: 0, Agnes: 2, Marty: 1, Madison: 1.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Iqbal passes out again.
So does Vita.
Vita finally goes to bed.
So does Iqbal... *gasp* They're copying eachother! :shock:
Agnes reading was interrupted, but she resumes it outside.
[imghttp://llnw.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/493/419/011/00/screenshot_original.jpg
For whatever reason, Marty feels the need to turn on the stereo--waking up Vita and Iqbal--just to collect the laundry.
Gunther calls Vita over the cell phone and Vita talks to him--the first time anyone marooned on the "island" has had any communication with the outside world since being teleported there.
Marty is the second to start reading the book, eleven hours after receiving it.
Almost the entire two days she has been here, Madison has been making faces to herself in the mirror.
Iqbal is the third to start reading.
[img]http://llnw.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/645/419/011/00/screenshot_original.jpg[/img It is now the end of day two, and no one has finished the book yet, though Agnes is close. I will give them until ten o'clock in the morning the next day to finish (a total of 24 hours).[/img]
Agnes is the first one to finish her book, half an hour after Week 1 Day 3 begins. She gets 2 points
~~~~~~~~~~SCORE SO FAR~~~~~~~~~~
Iqbal: 0, Molly: 2, Vita: 0, Agnes: 4, Marty: 1, Madison: 1.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After putting down the book to do some laundry, Marty picks it up again.
Madison is finally taking he shower, but seems to have forgotten her pixelation... :hunf:
Round of applause for Marty! He has finally decided to stop wasting food and eat some leftovers!!
It's just before four o'clock in the morning, and all the Sims are terrible exhausted... and a fire starts in the kitchen.
Iqbal goes to put out the flames!
Vita passes out again, though I took this screenshot while she was falling, so it looks like she's doing some weird dance....
Iqbal also passes out, but he does it in the bathroom.
Now everyone is getting coffee.
And... another fire starts.
Molly gets the fire extinguisher....
But she's spraying THROUGH Madison.
Agnes and Marty pass out as soon as Molly finishes extinguishing the fire.
Molly also passes out... right next to the bed.
However, she is soon woken up by the stereo and proceeds to do... I don't know what.
Madison goes to sleep.
Vita turns the stereo on, waking Madison up.
Agnes picks up her book to read it for the second time, but it is nearly 10:00 and I will soon be taking it away...
I take away the books. Oh, and another fire starts.
Molly puts out the fire while Agnes, Iqbal, and Marty scream and point at the fire (Madison and Vita are off-screen because the fire started while they were in the bathroom--not looking at themselves in the mirror this time, if you know what I mean...)
Unfortunately, it seems like someone was cooking something in the microwave and left it to scream at the fire, so the oven caught on fire, as well.
Their oven is now charred and useless. However, they still have a microwave and fridge (and of course, the infamous coffee machine) so they probably won't starve--but who knows, these Sims are pretty stupid, at least one of them will probably find a way...
Marty passes out... with his eyes open.
Yet another fire starts.
A counter us set on fire. The kitchen is literally going down in flames.
Synchronized dancing! (Marty's just looking off like "whaaaa-?")
Molly saved the counter!
Madison literally fallse asleep... While another fire starts in the bedroom.
TO BE CONTINUED...
I did get in another part of Week 1 Day 3, and I will probably put up some more over the weekend
