Based around the upcoming Sims 4 Game Pack 'Jungle Adventure'!
Follow Archaeology Scholar, Fox Fever, as he leads a group of adventurers into the jungle of Selvadorada. They will embark on a seven day exploration. Will they find treasure? Can they survive the jungle's dangers and obstacles?
What is I.S.B.I.?: The initials stand for
I'm Surrounded By Idi*ts. It's where the game player controls only one sim. Everyone else around him/her in and out of the household are put on autonomous and not be selected to do anything. Whatever happens is all part of the game. In
Jungle Ruin, Fox Fever will be the one controlled. His expedition team of adventurers will not. The team will be in a group led by Fox Fever, so he can have them follow him around and he can interact with them himself. What they do on the expedition is up to them (or should I say, the game).
Goal: Can Fox Fever keep all his expedition team alive within the seven day exploration while uncovering the mysteries within the jungle of Selvadorada?
Special Notes: Selvadorada is a world, but also only a vacation spot. A sim cannot live in Selvadorada. Sims can take a vacation to Selvadorada from one to seven days.
Jungle Ruin will take advantage of the full seven days.

Do you like to create sims for specials stories and want to create one for Jungle Ruin?
Have a sim you've created for a story already and want to have them in Jungle Ruin?
I'm looking for seven sims to join Fox Fever to explore the jungle of Selvadorada.
Including Fox, I am looking for a group of four male and four female sims. This will make up the eight a household can hold (without cheats). If I end up not getting the exact amount for each gender, I can make do with what is submitted. If I get more than enough submitted sims, Fox Fever will have a second seven day expedition following the first.
How do you submit a sim?
Create a post in this thread with the following:
Please only submit one sim per member for first expedition. There will be an exception to this. If you have a couple (such as a spouse or sibling), I will allow that.
The timeline for the seven days is the actual seven game days, so plan this expedition adventure to be a short story. I don't have a plan for how many chapters there will be. Playing this adventure out will determine them as I go.
Because of this, I encourage members to submit sims they have in their own stories they are writing. If all goes well in my story (such as the sim does not die from the natures or obstacles of the jungle--supposedly they can), it might be fun to add it to your story that your character went on a "jungle adventure". I will take a lot of screenshots, even if I don't use them all in this story. I will be happy to share any with members if they want to add them to their own story.
If you're going to upload a sim you already have in game or plan of creating a new sim, I have a special request. This is not a requirement, but will make it easier for me and perhaps more personable to you and the sim you upload. If you have either "Outdoor Retreat" or "Backyard Stuff", please use your 5 everyday and 2 party clothing slots for 7 different outfits you would like your sim to wear out in the jungle.
If you are submitting a sim already in the Gallery or uploading one but don't have "Outdoor Retreat" or "Backyard Stuff", do not fret. I will go ahead and pick out the clothing for you. If the submitted sim is already wearing something I feel would be okay out in the jungle, I will stick with what they are wearing.
Have any questions?
Ask and I will answer. I will also post the Q & A in this post under this.
Especially as his daughter watches "Chum-cha Jones" and it would be a dream come true for her. xD

I revealed the characters in this post -http://bit.ly/2HBmFxR
(sorry, on my phone so it's a long url instead of embedded) over in the writers lounge for my Brindleton Bay tale for visuals. I'll probably tweak outfits for your ISBI.
It would be cool if at least one of my characters actually had an adventure in her backstory.

Name of sim being submitted: Daisy Keen (also goes by the name Marguerite Wilson)
Gallery ID name where I can find sim for download: superkyle221 (Or this link)
Links to any custom content if necessary: None
Background or history information of sim: A spare from the Keen Legacy. She ran off, became a spy, and eventually faked her death (where she took on the name Marguerite Wilson). While undercover, she married a man in order to get close enough to get dirt on the man's father, who was committing treason (selling government secrets). After exposing her father-in-law, she disappeared, leaving her now ex-husband, Milan, and infant daughter, Mae, behind. Her favorite color is yellow, and she always wears purple, as a way to symbolize her relationship with her twin brother Snapdragon Keen. Personality-wise she's quite sarcastic and a bit of a free spirit.
(Feel free to use as much or as little of this backstory as you want - she'd likely not tell everybody about it, and if it doesn't come up, it doesn't come up - but she can go by either Daisy or Marguerite, and it's totally possible that she's here on vacation. She's a minor character in my legacy, but still may show up from time to time).
Feel free to change any set of clothes for this character if they don't fit the theme. I tried to only use Outdoor Retreat and Backyard Stuff. If this doesn't work, I have other sims I can also submit.

Background or history information of sim. : Antwan is true to his last name, he is a bit of a plum. He believes that merfolk are hoarding the worlds treasures and trying to take over the world. He is divorced to his ex wife who gave him 5 children, and is remarried to his best friend and now husband. His favorite colors are blue and pink and he loves jogging.
He can be a little dense and take things quite literately. "the internet says it, it must be true." kind of person.
He is also a doting father and is excited to put in his application for this because it would mean a lot to his eldest daughter who loves adventure shows.

Yes?
That's the only response I can think of.
Name of sim being submitted: Adrian O'Donnell
Gallery ID name where I can find sim for download simscognito, but here's the link.

Background or history information of sim. Not required. Remember this is an I.S.B.I. and the sim will be run autonomously within the game if chosen. But any interactions with Fox can be made creatively by letting me know how your sim is suppose to be or act.
Adrian is the daughter of a member of an infamous gang called the Evil Geniuses. She is a genius herself, but you wouldn't know it sometimes. She also gets jealous easily and when she gets jealous she starts plotting. Not a team player at all. XD
@AdamsEve1231 I randomly choose botanist to help decide.

Lol! There will be war! Adrian has zero patience for plums which is why I thought it would be funny if she was chosen! She won't think it's funny though!
Oh, everyone will be picked. I'm shooting for 4 of each gender though, first. So if we get more than 7 sims submitted, they will be split up into two groups and Fox will take the second group out at a later time.
@LegacySims2017 Opps... maybe that was too many details? Lol. I'll get right to work on uploading her.
I was leaning toward the botanist from Newcrest. Thanks @Shadami. My academic was coming from Windenburg. And my poet artist was coming from San Myshuno.

For "story" purposes when Fox interacts with her (because as you already know, she will be run autonomously and I will not control her whatsoever being this is an I.S.B.I.) I changed her name in my game to Marguerite Wilson.
I'm kind of worried for Antwan if his insane trait comes out (since I won't control him being this again is an I.S.B.I.) during parts of their adventuring. It will make great storyline play when I have Fox interact with him, though.
And I love the outfits you picked out for him.
It will be nice to have a teenager in the group. And I can't wait to see how the game plays her out (with the I.S.B.I. intact), but I'll do my best to keep her interactions with Fox true to her nature.
I'll keep her first everyday outfit as is. I need to create 6 more for when she is in the jungle. Do you have any color or style preference for Adrian?
Hehe thanks @LegacySims2017 . It'll be fun to see how she interacts with the others. XD
As for her colour and style preferences, she tends to go for orange and blacks, but she might look good in greens. She's not overly fussed about colour, but she does tend to go for 'out-doorsey' type outfits, and club/team jackets.
The jungle is "outdoorsy" and she does look good in orange. I'll play around with the green colors too and see what I can come up with for possible good orange, black, and green color schemes without her looking Halloweenish!
Oh hehe... yeah, her family has a thing for Halloween. XD They even have pumpkin ornaments in their lounge.
Cool! Can't wait to see her new wardrobe. XD
But I will most definitely be reading this! Already bookmarked this. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
