[PC Game] Halforums House: Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows

They really have that on the Sims but they can't make crazy cat ladies?
Well I COULD.

I just don't want to. :p

If someone in the house wanted a cat or dog or iguana or macaw I'd certainly give it a shot but pet ownership has very few benefits and a lot more responsibility.
 
Hangin' out with booze while everyone else gets some.

Oh God this is way too much like real life. :(
Mixology is a sought after skill tat you can use to moonlight at bars. Build up your skill enough, and with your new Party Animal trait, you'll be the most important person at all the clubs in town.
 
You can hang out with me CK! Cause SimKags ain't gettin' any either.

Also...I think Jay will be the first to take the plunge!! So much steam in this update, my goodness.

Your outfits are getting better and better Nick! Thank you for saving our names - you sue that magazine!!
 
A quick check shows me that the woman CK is closest to is LittleSin, and the dude Kags is closest to (other than Jay) is her boss, Isaac.
 
I fully support my sister in any relationship that may arise with CK. I'm not saying it will happen...I'm just saying I don't oppose it. Is that wrong of me? I feel like I should just..not do that.

I'm so glad my Sim hasn't done anything with anyone yet...I was so worried with the hopeless romantic trait that I would be all over the place, but no, it's awesome.

EDIT: Which, odd thought, my wanting sims to be in a realtionship is pretty telling of how real the 'hopeless romantic' trait is for me. I want sims to be happy for goodness sake!! Like..they aren't even real! I just need to get off the internet...
 
Dear LittleKagsin,

I hearby give you permission to give yourself permission to fall superficially in love with and demonstrate care for a series of bits and bytes expressed as tiny colored lights stored on gustos computer.

Your Sim as a lot of social wishes that tend to go by the wayside as a result of your working all the time. You life goals aren't tied SPECIFICALLY to your having a job, I'm thinking of having you quit.

It's actually the same situation with Bowie - he's only close to people he works with, and he only works with women so there aren't any romantic options there.

However, killing two birds with one stone...

...Kags has recently developed the wish to go out on the town with Bowie. Maybe it's time y'all painted the town red and met some cute boys. :)
 
Thank you stienman! It's a good thing I got your permission too because I'm totally on the verge of love already.

I'm good with whatever you decide Gusto. Quitting the job, I mean. For some reason, I actually assumed one of two extremes, my sim would totally be a slut and sleep with everyone, or she would (like in real life) scare most people away.

Gah, yes!! You and me Bowie, let's do this town.
 
Love this last update. Who's Heather again? A coworker? That's so anti real-Jay. But kudos to SimJay for making "good use" of the jacuzzi. awww yeah.

Any chance to provide us with a full update on Sims on how they are going along? Are they working alot?

This is cool man, love this thread a lot.

btw, lol on SimJay going :sohappy: at SimKags while she's playing the guitar.

Sure, what kind of stuff would you like to know? Specifically how you're progressing towards lifetime goals or a more general overview?
 
Out of curiosity - how much hands-on management are you doing Gusto? Or is this mostly the result of free will? I seem to recall you mentioning this previously, but I'm too lazy to go look.

It's about 3:1 free-will:direction. All of the direction is things things they wish to do but will NOT do autonomously, like getting a job, inviting people over, going to bed at a reasonable time, going to community lots, accepting and completing skill/work opportunities, stuff like that.

The short version is, they do everything on their own that they're CAPABLE of doing on their own, and I ONLY direct them to do things that they want to do anyway.
 
As for the pet thing, I find that if you have a piss load of pets you can basically ignore them as long as you remember to keep the food full, because they get social interaction from each other. Cats especially.

Interesting things without it being a chore for you of course

- Those points you collect for sweet perks (and any perks!)
- Career progression (if applicable)
- Relationship progression

Anything that may seen relevant.

Maybe one day film a party with special Gusto voiceovers and youtube that shit! I miss listening to your Brian-like voice.
 
Psh, yeah we're going to make you! Heh, no...you really don't have to. I sure would like you to, though, and your voice is not terrible, that I'm sure of you silly man.
 
If Kags lived around here, I'd take her out for a night on the town. The gay bars up here would eat her up with a spoon.
 
That seriously sounds like the best thing ever. I would seriously love to do that with you, if I'm ever wherever you are, let's do it.

Let it be known, Nick, that I'm talking real world now. Not sims. :D
