The Girlboss Adventures of Princess Pwnage @princess-pwnage - Tumblr Blog

Welcome to my Sims 1 Simblr

Hi! This is a blog where I post the screenshots I take while playing with Princess Pwnage, a "girlboss" Sim I use to try to complete themed goals, going through one Sims 1 expansion at a time. They are loosely in chronological order, and I try to weave a story together.

This website is best enjoyed in website view.

Here you can find tags for each chapter.

Or you can start from the beginning...

Some additional notes:

These screenshots are from months ago. I'm much further ahead in the game nowadays, so I can't change the past. I'll try to not spoiler much about what's to come in the story ;)

I try not to use items that came with expansions that were released after the one I'm "playing through", but sometimes I make mistakes

Princess here is going to go through multiple jobs due to an in-game mechanic. Some of these jobs are controversial nowadays, to say the least: things such as policewoman, politician, and CEO. I do not necessarily endorse or condone any action in bad faith coming from these positions: I'm just someone playing a game.

Other Sims in Pwnie's adventures are tagged if they are relevant to the story. If they just happen to show up in a screenshot, they don't get tagged.

Feel free to ask me things about my Simmies :]

As a Sims 2 player one of the most eerie things about playing the original game isn't necessarily the creepy/more liminal aesthetic or the repetitively endless gameplay, but the fact that almost all the pre-made Sims from the original game are inexorably doomed by the narrative.

There's something odd about Pleasantview specifically, where the majority of the returning Sim families live (save for Tara Kat, who seems... relatively fine). Like, the concept of the game is that twenty-five years have passed, and all of the returning characters are pre-baked into character arcs that communicate an unavoidable truth: You, the player, failed.

Bella Goth will disappear. Her brother (though in the original Sims we aren't aware that Michael Bachelor is her brother) will die, possibly murdered. Mortimer will be lost and alone. Cassandra will be stuck in an unloving engagement. The Newbie's daughter will be impoverished, a single mother whose husband died young, with two boys and another on the way. Daniel Pleasant will grow up to be a cheater. Jennifer Pleasant will never be an athlete like she wanted (her brother will). And though poor Johnny Burb never mentions Tucker anymore, you know that old dog died years ago. The Roomies, the Mashugas, the Hicks, the Charmings - all leave town... or worse, die out.

I think about Jeff Pleasant's bio in the first game: "Jeff and his family are new to the neighborhood. Can you help Jeff provide for his family and fulfill his lifelong goal of being the first man to walk on Mars?" And how it contrasts to Daniel's in the second: "Since his father Jeff died without achieving his dream of going to Mars, Daniel has felt an overwhelming guilt."

And sure, you can save the families of Pleasantview. You can choose for Mary-Sue to not go to work that day, or maybe Daniel never pursues Kaylynn Langerak again. You can give Cassandra a happy marriage, tame Don Lothario's womanizer ways. You can financially save Brandi Broke. You can get John Burb another dog. You can get Jennifer the career she always wanted. You can defy the scripted in-game prompts and say "No. I don't want to play like this." You can break the cycle, every time you play.

And yet, at the end of the day, no matter what you do... uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, maybe just deleting that Neighborhood folder, they are reset back to exactly where they were again. They're doomed to repeat it forever.

The game makes it clear that there are some things you aren't meant to change. A genie lamp or a Resurrect-O-Nomitron can bring back sims like Michael Bachelor, but you will pay for it in your neighborhood deteriorating to corruption. And no matter what you do, no force in the universe can bring Bella Goth back. The one in Strangetown isn't even really her, after all. And maybe she isn't. They say they deleted her in development, replaced her with a clone. Maybe that's what Bella Goth in Strangetown is. A clone. Maybe we were wrong, after all. Maybe she was never abducted by aliens. Maybe Don Lothario killed her. Maybe Dina Caliente killed her. Maybe Mortimer did. But you can't bring her back, no matter what you do. Recreate the original Bella, pixel by pixel, extract her data, make your zombie Bella. Build your own monster. Create a sim. But she will never recognize her family. Never see them as her own.

And she was never meant to.

Here's Medley petting the puppy not knowing that we're taking its brother home.

In the meantime, Medley gets yelled at by an unruly parrot

On our way to Old Town!

So cute! Will this be the dog of Princess's dreams…?

Princess's first contact with her pet, Sparky!

#the sims unleashed #i downloaded this schnauzer skin in memory of my rl dog #he was salt-pepper with undocked ears #unlike the sims version #he is however named like the rl one #rest in peace my sweet puppy #sparky pwnage #princess pwnage

The war has ended. Princess is forced to pick another job. She finds one as a policewoman, but there's only one caveat: she has to train her own police dog.

"Once dad comes back home, we're going to Old Town to adopt a doggy!"

"You guys are going to get lots of new friends very soon…!"

A look at the Pwnage's home

#the sims unleashed

Yearning for the times she was a treasure hunter, Princess proposes her family to go on a treasure-hunting holiday! Here's her and Melody fishing.

Seems Medley has found a treasure already! A golden llama!

Shiver me timbers! Melody fished up a treasure chest! The only one who hasn't found any treasure yet is Princess, very, VERY, ironically. Only old boots.

Jealeous of her family's beginners luck, Princess gives the metal detector a try while Medley fishes instead.

Seems everybody but Pwnie has luck today.

Princess Pwnage and the Infinite Boots
