And... we’re back to these dorks. Caiden and Wolf were fighting over what, I don’t know, but if I had to guess, one of them insulted the other. That got interrupted though by Wolf getting a phone call. I’m not sure where he was stalking off to, but he left Caiden with Lewis.. which didn’t go well. Apparently whatever Lewis said was boring, but considering that Caiden is a snob, that could have been anything.
Last screens of these guys for quite some time. Bats made the mistake of eating a candy bar he got. I’m pretty sure the poor baby had to throw up before he left. At least Wolf noticed while he was getting swarmed. Corey’s water need was so low he tried raising it by brushing his teeth, which didn’t help much. I left them like that, with the thought that everyone was going back to the dorm when I played them again. The next household is my avatar Aster’s family. It’s going to take a while to write their introductions, so I won’t be posting gameplay screens. I will be on tumblr everyday though.
A little bit random here. The first one Bats was looking dramatic and Caiden was just being himself. The rest probably see that expression on Caiden a lot.
The second one I wish I could remember what happened, but it was at least a couple months ago, so that’s not happening. Just from looking at it, I think that someone scared Bats from far away. Normally when that happens I take a overhead pic showing the distance, but I didn’t this time and I don’t know why. Also the university mascot came by. This time I actually didn’t mind as much, since I was sending these sims to university.
The third one was the first time anyone fixed any food. I think they were drinking to stave off any hunger. At least Caiden decided on something cold, since I don’t think I upped their cooking skills.
The fourth one is Bats reading Oscar’s mind. The vampire mod I have lets them do that on their own. I don’t think he learned anything from it.
I don’t know what Wolf did to get on Oscar’s bad side, but it must have been pretty bad, in Oscar’s opinion anyway. This was the first time I’ve had this freeze someone solid, so I really wasn’t expecting it. Poor thing was frozen solid for a couple hours. I just love how nobody seems to care. Bats was even smiling for pete’s sake.
I’m back to posting for now, mostly because I’m too hungry to have the patience to do anything else. My fault entirely. I skipped a meal. Anyway, back to the sims.
I think the sequence of interactions was, accuse of being a vampire (Caiden to Bats), confess to being a vampire (Bats to Caiden), and ???. I mean, it looks like the confess went well, so I don’t know what Caiden was rejecting. At least one good thing came out of this, which is that Bats got to look adorable.
Sorry for not posting for so long. There was no real reason, other than the fact that I just didn’t feel like it. This household is made up of four supernatural friends and their government handler, (who happens to know how to use magic, but that’s got nothing to do with not being human, right?). They live in Isla Paradiso in one of the EA houseboats. I’m actually looking for a better house, but I haven’t had any luck. Mostly because it has to be on the water somehow. They’re going to university. Well, not their handler. He already has an degree. This is incredibly long, so don’t say I didn’t warn ya! :P I think before I place a ‘read more’, I’m going to state their species. Going clockwise from the top right corner we have a plantsim, a merman, a werewolf, and a vampire.
The order this time is for their descriptions to make the most sense, so we’re starting with the werewolf in the lower left corner. His name is Elliot Lane. He hates the name, so he usually only answers to Wolf. Although he has always been werewolf, the rich family he ran away from weren’t. Their handler, Oscar, who had to investigate his charges’ origins, will only say that his origins were scandalous. Wolf doesn’t really care. He is only thankful for his wolf form, after all it was incredibly helpful when he ran away at fifteen. Wolf is very possessive of everything he has, which weirdly includes his friends. They aren’t allowed to have friends that he hasn’t chosen to be his friend.They put up with this, because Wolf protects them. Despite this, everyone wants to be his friend or girlfriend. He tends to take advantage of his new ‘friends’, but he really doesn’t want to have anything to do with romance. He knows how to make people do what he wants, and is very good at knowing just how to talk to someone. He is studying physical education at university, but that’s mostly because his friends were going and he didn’t want to be left with Oscar. His traits are: Mean-Spirited, Charismatic, Athletic, Rebellious, Brave, Irresistible, and Hot Headed.
Next is the vampire in the lower right corner. His name is Thaddeus Bradley, although he usually goes by Bat. He was born an odd kind of mutant human. Oscar investigated and found that Bat’s mother was a scientist that was working with vampire bat dna. Needless to say, an accident happened while she was pregnant. His mother died when he was ten, leaving him alone since his father had abandoned his mother and him when Bat was born, because he blamed Bat’s mother for Bat’s mutation. The government had no idea Bat existed, since his mother kept him a secret, so Bat was left to fend for himself. Unfortunately distant relatives inherited the house he was living in, so he ended up on the streets. Bat lived on the streets for awhile, but didn’t have the strength to feed off of random passersby. He would have starved, but Wolf found him and decided that Bat was going to be his friend, so assisted in getting blood for him. Bat met Wolf when Wolf was sixteen, and is Wolf’s first and closest friend. He loves messing around with machines, so he is studying for a Technology degree. He’s very good at guessing what kind of person a person is, so the others always ask him what his opinion of people is. Random fact: Despite the fact that his mutation is comes from bats, most people think he’s some kind of wolf-man at first sight. His traits are: Over-Emotional, Handy, Perceptive, Eccentric, and Friendly.
Corey North is the plantsim in the upper left corner. Wolf saved Corey after the forest where he was living was sprayed with some kind of poison, which left Corey unconscious. The next day immediately after Corey came to, he ran to find a dirt mound and buried himself in it. He didn’t emerge for a couple weeks, which left Wolf and Bat worried about his well being, so Bat went over to him and just started rambling. Eventually Corey emerged to tell him to shut up. Having nowhere to go, Corey stayed with the strange duo, and started his long search for art supplies. He hates being around people, and tends to get angry if anyone talks to him. Most of the time he’s outside painting or drawing, which he hates to be interrupted when doing either. Corey’s going to get a fine arts degree. His traits are: Brave, Loner, Loves the Outdoors, Artistic, and Hot-Headed.
Caiden Moss, the merman in the upper right corner, was part of a very rich and influential family under the ocean. He’s now on land against his will. Oscar has questioned Caiden many times about this, but can never get a straight answer. In Oscar’s opinion, Caiden was either exiled or cursed, but most likely exiled, since Caiden still has his merman tail. Caiden washed ashore unconscious and hurt. The others rescued him from the beach and nursed him back to health, because Wolf, who was the one that found Caiden, had taken a shine to Caiden. Caiden at first really doesn’t like living with these ‘street urchins’, but they saved him, and to tell the truth he couldn’t live on his own. Caiden was the last to join the, besides Oscar, so he isn’t as close to the others as the others are to each other. Caiden hates being alone and is constantly looking for someone to talk to. Unfortunately that usually backfires tremendously, due to Caiden’s uppity attitude. It doesn’t help that Caiden’s a genus, and uses his knowledge against them. They get back at him by making fun of his clumsiness. Technically he’s only clumsy on land, but he can’t seem to get this argument to stop the teasing. He’s going to university for a science and medicine degree. His traits are: Social Butterfly, Clumsy, Genus, Proper, and Snob.
Oscar Briggs is the one in the bottom picture. He works for a government organisation trying to understand the recently revealed supernatural population. He was assigned to this group of supernatural creatures as their caretaker. Oscar has the same level of authority over them that a parent has over their children. He doesn’t like kids much, which as everyone knows includes young adults, and he’s usually in a bad mood, but he warms up to his charges... eventually. Oscar isn’t scared of any supernatural being. He’s usually just annoyed at any show of power. At first the kids didn’t know about his magical abilities, but they found out after he used them to protect Caiden from Monster Hunters. His charges knowing allows him to use his powers to discipline them, but it also means they have some dirt on him, which they can tell the Organisation, which really wouldn’t be a good thing for Oscar. Oscar definitely isn’t stupid in any way. He’s very good at reading his charges and figuring out their secret terms. He also had no trouble collecting the information about their pasts, which he did without the parties involved knowing. His traits are: Dislikes Children, Grumpy, Perceptive, Brave, and Genus.
They spent almost the whole first day just talking to each other, which is impressive. Normally I let the sims loose and they just find some object to play with for the entire day.
So, Oscar apparently upset poor Caiden. Most of the time if Oscar says something that upsets them, he’s pointing out some flaw of their character for them ‘to work on’, or sometimes he’s trying to discipline them. Something like ‘you left your dirty plate on the table’ type of thing. Weirdly this is the second time a mean interaction was followed by gossiping, which in some cases probably could be considered a mean interaction as well.
I imagine it would a bit hard to sneak up on someone when your phone is ringing...
As per custom, I set them loose for their first day. Caiden and Wolf were just having a pleasant enough conversation, when Oscar swooped in to insult Wolf somehow. Immediately followed by gossip, which you would think the whispering wouldn’t work from that distance, but whatever. They were probably talking about how Corey made a beeline to the hot tub.
