You want in? Send me your name and picture in a PM. I'm new at this as I've never played Sims before but I'll do my best.

No PM, no in.

It's gonna be a surprise who is in.

Just sent a PM! Here's my traits, since I seem to be one of the early ones:

-Athletic
-Childish
-Over-Emotional (it was either that or Loner, but figured this would make for more interesting interactions; especially combined with Childish)
-Artistic
-Heavy Sleeper

Also, here's a REALLY good guide for traits:

I believe that he's choosing traits for the people he puts in the house. I expect a thorough lambasting of myself if I make it in...

-Adam

Let's hope he doesn't give you Insane, Neurotic, Childish, Party Animal and Daredevil. Because...well, it'd be entertaining, at least. :D

The house is now full and I'll be doing a full rundown of traits & personalities in a little bit.

And I am overwhelmed.

:( I thought I made it, judging by the people commenting here about PMs. :(

Okay, here's the House and what they are like. I don't have pictures yet because I didn't take them during creation so of course I can't figure out how to get back to them.


Cajun Gal:

This girl loves to cook and will be a great asset around the house. Not only is she one of the friendliest people around, but she's also very neat and tidy. She does get excited easily but makes up for it with her childish demeanor. Someday she hopes to be a 5-Star Chef.

Lally Gal:

Cajun's and her sister Lally (you have to have a last name) room together to fend off advances by the numerous male occupants. As the younger sister, Lally taxes Cajun's patience to the core. Lally likes the attention of the male roommates and flirts with them constantly. She has a good sense of humor and parties like a rock star, but will fly off the handle at a moment's notice. Her secret shame is that she likes the rush she gets from stealing stuff. If the roommates are missing items you can bet they end up with Lally somehow. She really has no wishes for her future other than to become fabulously wealthy. But she doesn't know how she'll do it without a steady job. Oh well! BEER TIME!!

Adam Davis:

Adam is the group's workaholic. He's everything you look for in a worker - ambitious, hard worker, he knows how to schmooze the customers. If it weren't for the fact that he has amazing luck, he'd have been fired long ago as he can't seem to keep his mouth shut. His jokes fall flat and he's more liely to offend than amuse. But he wants to learn many new jobs. Master of none, but he loves new challenges.

Rob King:

Rob is a fucking genius on the computer. He sits in front of it all day long doing God knows what because nobody else can understand what it is he's doing! He has a flare for this sort of computer/artsy thing which is great because his athletic prowess sucks. He tries to be dangerous but can't seem to keep his feet from tangling. Then he gets mad and sets shit on fire. He wants to be the best handiman there is, though. Go go gadget Rob King!!

Black Cat:

Black Cat is David Beckham with a mohawk. He's cool, he knows he's cool, and he knows YOU know he's cool. He's that fucking cool! He loves the outdoors and is athletic as hell, plus he has charisma and ambition to spare! The girls all swoon over him but he can never fully commit. Can he be tamed by Lally of Cajun? Black Cat wants in his heart to be super popular. He may very well get there some day.

Chaz Wozel:

It's the first day and already this loner hates everyone in the house. In fact, it's his mission in life to make their life a living hell. While he's definately artistic and wants to be someone someday, his evil and mean spirited plans for world domination may get in the way of a steady job. Emperor of Evil Chaz Wozel. That has a nice ring to it.



That's the house, folks. I'm outfitting it now. Another note, every character is dressed in steampunk gear. Oh, yeah. This is gonna be fun.
 
You bought the Steampunk/Victorian Sets?

NICE.

I've bought a few things myself but nothing so specific yet. Can't wait to see pics. :)

I'm afraid that even your false innuendos are strong enough to impregnate us... please be careful. :confused:

It's the first day at the Halforums House and it looks like people are already starting to stake their claims on things. While Lally and Cajun stand outside talking about the weather and fish, Adam and Chaz sit on the couch and watch TV.



Rob is not interested and reads a book.



Finally the girls come in and the guys all leave. So Cajun turns on the music and starts to think about hopping online while Lally is in awe of the steampunk television.



Black Cat went outside to look at the stars in the telescope. Maybe he didn't realize that it was still daylight out.



In the meantime, Chaz took this as his opportunity to sneak into the girl's room to look at their computer. Probably porn but it looked like a game.



While Chaz is upstairs working his nefarious deeds, the rest of the house is still downstairs getting acquainted. Black Cat is trying to tell Cajun how strong and manly he is - how she reacts is yet to be determined - and Lally is giddy with the new house. Adam thinks she's smiling at him and gets a Sim-woody. Rob keeps reading, oblivious to all that is going on around him.

Why does Chaz looks like a cross between Sgt. Slaughter and the Trailer Park Boys? :confused:

1) Chaz's appearance is AWESOME.

2) "Sim-woody"? I think Dave just invented a new term.

If you are on dial up, you may want to turn away now.

Black Cat decides that he's better off somewhere else and wants to go to the gym. He has a hot taxi driver and they flirt, narrowly missing a young girl on a bike!



Meanwhile, Cajun takes the other PC upstairs and plays a game. Chaz never notices.



Adam continues to hit on Lally, which seems to work. Weird considering all she talks about is him and all he talks about is his favorite color.



Adam finally gets in on the action by flirting. Although I think his aim might be off a bit.



Inside the gym, Black Cat finds a cute girl to talk to. Unfortunately she looks to be 10. Maybe he's apologizing for almost running her over with a taxi.



While this creepiness is going on, Rob feels humiliated after having been turned down by Adam. He leaves in a huff, but watches Lally still flirting. Hatred burns in his heart.



Black Cat proves that he's not creepy, just nice. He throws the football around a while. He's outside, he's being active. He's happy.



And at the house, Lally and Adam continue to flirt. He thinks only of her and she thinks only of...her.

OH MY GOD those were hilarious!

Man, now I want to make a house. Except I'm thinking of making it in the form of a literal reality show. Everyone would live in a giant mansion, but no one would ever be allowed to leave. Any thoughts?
 
The house would eventually fill with garbage, and everyone would gain the "Stir Crazy" negative moodlet after a couple days. Coupled with living in their own filth, I can't see them living to adulthood. :)

Hmm, I forgot about the Stir Crazy and Garbage. The concept worked back in Sims 2, but alas.
 
There was still garbage in Sims 2. :)

The only way I can think to make it work in Sims 2 was to have a house full of dudes, hire a female maid, and make the front door one of the WOMEN ONLY bathroom doors that they eventually had available. That way only the maid could get in and out of the house.

But yeah SinX, you absolutely should give the game a try. It's loads of fun and pretty addicting, and its first expansion is coming out at some point in October. :)

I have the game already, just trying to come up with a good enough concept to boot it back up.

And that's bad why? :)[/QUOTE]

:rofl:

I could see it working in the sort of Alice and Kev social experimentation model. See how long everyone lasts without dying and going crazy, etc. Might be fun to see daily updates on that sorta stuff too.

Have three or four people that have completely different skillsets and weaknesses. Could be awesome. Makes me wanna try it myself.

But I'm already running The HalfReal World. :)
