I'm not gonna be making people unless they're gonna be part of the household. Making accurate people is too much work to just dump them in a house somewhere and hope they wander by.

Gusto's late for work!

He manages to get there before anyone notices, but Ross, however, decides to skip an entire day of work. Any more of tat and he may lose his job.



Shannow wakes up late after a night of drinking and finds himself in the awkward position of having to make his own food. For the first time ever.



Here we see Ross skipping his music-playing job to stay home and play music. Droll asks Shego how she slept last night, leaving herself wide open for innuendo.



Droll starts writing her third book as Shego begins to realize she turned the treadmill on too high.



Qonas goes fishing in a new place. He eventually catches several goldfish, one of which he mounts in the kitchen after stuffing the rest in the fridge.



Vyta continues to work on her paintings (the one on the left is hers too) as Shannow visibly sweats while working out.



Dave and Qonas get in a fight about something. Neither of them are sure what exactly.



BUT LOOK AT THAT OUTRAGE! :Leyla::Leyla::Leyla:



After the fight, Qonas goes to try to fix Dave's computer. Maybe Dave was working on something really important?



And then he places on is most recent catches, a rainbow trout, in a fishbowl in his room. It was a productive day for him.

(The fish is named Bubble.)

What can I say, I like working from home.

...I'm phoning it in :)
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 2

I laughed out loud (something rare when I'm alone in the house) when I saw "Shego set the treadmill on too high) and then even louder when "leave herself open for sexual innuendo" because I thought it before I even read it. :rofl:-:thumbsup:

And I shall call him......Bubble. : DrEvil :

And what happens when, instead of dying, the electrocution in the shower turns Qonas into a super-villain? With the powers of dominating chess and wrangling marlin? What then? WHERE WILL YOUR GOD BE THEN?!

The household starts off the day right, by eating a healthy breakfast. Shego starts off the day weirdly, by playing chess by herself in her bathing suit.



Shego gets a mission at work to drop off a "package" at City Hall, which she does while Gusto is working there. She calls her new boss with good news when the job is done.





In the meantime, Gusto safely returns from work and happily announces his promotion to his best friend Droll.



She responds flirtatiously.



Instead of giving the delivery job to Shannow, the Leader sent him home with some reading to do. His job performance is technically higher than Shego's in the illegal arts, but she's the only one who does extra evil work outside of her shift.



After finishing her job, Shego goes and laughs at the grave of her old boss.



Feeling particularly insane on this new day (it is now 1am) Shego returns home, changes into her swimwear, and burns some hot dogs.



Not satisfied with her burnt hot dogs, she leaves them on the kitchen table and instead happily makes some waffles.



Vyta wanders into Dave's room and wakes her up. Dave is not creepy at all.



The look on Gusto's face says it all, but Vyta has no qualms with vocalizing their mutual disgust. Both with Shego's burnt hot dog breakfast, and the slew of dirty dishes she left in the kitchen before finally going to bed.

No she's in his room and he's staring.

Vyta's is the room that Shannow is always dancing in.

To all the Men in Halforum House: GET OUT. The "mysterious" death of her old boss... the bomb she just dropped off at City Hall... The burnt Hot dogs... they are all signs! Get out while you still can!

Honestly??

I dunno about laid, per se, but Droll and Gusto could probably move into a double bed together at this point with no issue.

They used to just chat every morning but now there's some flirting and hugging involved.

So are you just letting them interact willy-nilly, or are you twisting the story of our lives to match up with your perverted expectations!?

I don't know how to word this post so it is easily recognized as mock-outrage, I guess adding this line cleans that up.

Here, lemme help you out Singularity.

EVERYONE! Hey, Qonas here. So when you read Singularity's post, instead of just reading it in your head here's what ya gotta do. Ignore that second statement. Just read the first part out loud, while shaking your fist angrily at the sky. Thanks.

The only interfering I do is to make sure characters remember to eat/sleep/pee/etc., and sometimes fulfill goals that they have autonomously, like "Dave wants to write a book" or "Shannow wants to serve drinks".

Gusto, this is great!!

I like how I have boobs.
So do 6/7ths of your housemates.

:)

Thanks.

Today's update is forthcoming, and as mentioned in Dave's HFouse thread, I may try to vidcap an entire day's event and dub my commentary overtop.
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 4

Shego finally cleans up all her dirty dishes, but breaks the sink in the process. She's been up all night so she goes to bed, leaving a big mess. Dave grudgingly decides to clean up the puddle by himself. He is the most overworked Sim in the house, and it's finally his day off.

Qonas came by later to fix the sink, further increasing his handiness skill.



Droll and Gusto share a hug during the course of their normal morning conversation/flirting.



Dave decides to do some fun overtime work, by heading to the theatre to do a movie review. Ross is in another room at the theatre at the same time, jamming with other members of his fledgling orchestra.



Vyta and Gusto spend their Saturday afternoon painting and listening to classical music. Droll and Qonas have their rematch in chess, and Qonas edges her out. Qonas now feels confident enough that he can start taking on citywide competitors in the future.



Dave gets home from his movie in time for dinner leftovers, which it turns out have gone bad. Most of the household is too sleepy to bother cooking anything new, and decide to go to bed hungry.



Perhaps irritated by their hunger, Qonas and Shannow finally vent their frustrations with one another. Shannow insults Qonas by calling him childish and a baby.



And then things get violent!

Shannow gets Qonas in a headlock...



And then drops him on his ass triumphantly.



Looks like all that working out paid off! Qonas slumps off to bed, and Shannow treats himself to an alcoholic drink before doing the same.

Tune in for tomorrow's update (or possibly video update!), Lazy Sunday!

I like how in most of these, I seem to be in a wife beater and boxers as I wander the house, having misadventures.








And kicking ass! Drunk-fu baby!




Sorry, Quonas.








Not really.
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 4

So I made a video.

It's 26 minutes long, and comments on an almost-24hr cycle in the house.

It's uploading to Youtube now, I hope that goes alright. :)

*Although it is worth noting that I independently had this idea a couple days ago and Dave's comment merely reminded me.

I will definitely look into that tonight. Can you put old clips into it or only take movies of what's currently going on?

No.

I took video using the in-game capture, and recorded my voice simultaneously by running Audacity in the background. Then I synched 'em up using a combination of Windows Movie Maker and Audacity.

I actually had a bit of trouble because I set the max video capture time in-game to be 15 minutes and I ended up going way over that. So there was like a minute and a half of commentary that did not have associated video, and everything in the latter half was THAT far off-sync. So it took me quite a bit of editing to get it synced properly, but there's still a [fairly boring] minute that got cut out.

Won't be a problem next time. If there IS A next time. :)
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 4

It has a super long upload time on Youtube, who might not even accept it since it's over 10 minutes and I don't know if they automatically partition a thing. The upload will be down literally as my shift starts in 35 minutes. So I won't even know if the upload worked for another 5 hours or so. :)
