Crazy Stories

I've been getting lots of date requests on the game. Two of my sims were asked on a date with separate people. They both got to their dates while I was watching one date, I had my active sim as the one at the other date. I clicked on the date and told her to greet him, but I did not know I told the sim from the other date to come and greet this other date. Before I realized what was going on, it was too late. So for the other guy, I ruined his date... and it was with Anne T. Septik too. Darn it.

Speaking of dates and stuff, my virtuoso sim used to live in Sunset Valley, and I'd make him play guitar for tips outside the theatre on weekends. He picked up so many admirers at once, some were even married Sims! I later moved him to Isla Paradiso, where my other Sims were, so I could have all my Sims in one place. He still picks up admirers from playing guitar, but not as many. I wonder why.

This is a rather weird "story" which happend just a few hours ago. I have the Nraas Story Progression mod. I got a message saying that Skip Broke has developed a pretty bad trait because he's been hanging out with some not-so-nice people.
New trait developed: Perfectionist. :D

This is a good one. I must have downloaded a sim family years ago from the exchange and they must have sat idle in the bin for all these years. Just a month ago, I looked through the sim bin and found two male sims (on separate occasions). One ended up in another household and the other ended up in my active household. So I found this sim family I mentioned before in the bin and placed them in my world. I take one look at this new family and they look oddly familiar! The two male sims in that family are the ones that I picked from the bin, but wearing different outfits. I couldn't believe it. See the picture. The one on the right is Matthew Cassini and he is from my active house. The one on the left is Paul Wilcott who is from the bin family. Matthew Cassini came from the bin with that outfit, but he did not have a name, so I did name him. I did not change Paul's clothing.

The other sim is Dean Winchester. I placed the modified Dean Winchester in his own house in Aurora Skies and then I started a new family in Twinbrook and unknowingly placed the original Dean Winchester along with his family in his house. I didn't change either Dean's clothing either. It just worked that way. The real Dean is wearing all white.

Not that crazy but had something similar happen to my Sim. My teen was right across the street at her Aunt and grandma's house visiting..
Got a curfew notice and ignored it because we were all inside playing dominoes.
Cops show up at grandma's and literally drive me across the street and then my teen hot grounded by her mom. :D

I would have the same exact problem. They should have had a stipulation that you can actually stay at grandma's house. I wish they set up the game so that grandma would act like family instead of some stranger. For example if you pull food out of grandma's refrigerator, she would get offended because she is considered the same as some random stranger.

Well my household just suffered its first meteor attack. I have owned the game since 2011, added ambitions back in 2014 and have never had a meteor attack ever. I got the message saying that the sky has gotten dark and I, being unaware to the situation did not move any of my sims. I didn't even realize it was a meteor until right before the attack. I honestly thought it was some kind of crazy sims thing going on. Meanwhile all the neighbors run to my house standing just out of the kill shadow of the meteor. So my simself and my favorite sim get killed in this, while everyone else was fine. Not fair! So I quit the game without saving. If this ever happens again, I am going to direct all of my sims to leave the lot.

This occurred in Twinbrook. Is Twinbrook more prone to these meteors?

One time, the game turned against me. I kid you not.

I had an heiress I had been playing for almost two years. I liked her so much that I even had her take the age-freeze potion to stop aging in the middle adulthood span. Clearly my game wanted her dead. Whenever I lit the fireplace, house fires broke out and she always died. Most times I had just saved, so I would just quit the game without saving and restart. When I decided to get rid of the fireplaces. She as abducted by aliens, electrocuted, and struck by lightning. I even had to have a family member resurrect her after she died suddenly.

Eventually I got tired of fighting death and began playing someone else. But it was infinitely annoying!

That was like what happened with my first meteor. I didn't even know I could have them, because I thought meteors came with Seasons. I got the message, but I couldn't figure out what was happening. My teen was in school, and the game took me there. I saw the shadow, and it even occurred to me that it looked like it could be a meteor shadow. But I thought it couldn't be, because after all, I didn't have meteors in my game, or so I thought. I had plenty of time to get my teen out of the school, if I had realized it was a meteor, but it hit and she and a lot of other school kids got killed. I was so shocked, I quit without saving and returned to the previous save. Later, I wished I had saved with a different name, because I was wondering what the newspaper would have said, with all of those children and teens killed - would it have had a dozen or so obituaries in it? But it was too late, so I never found out. And when I played the day over, there was no meteor.

Since then, I have had one other meteor. The first one was in Sunset Valley, the second in Lucky Palms. So I don't know if Twinbrook is more prone to them. I've played there plenty of times and never had one there.

I've never noticed Twinbrook being more attractive to meteors either. I get them in almost all of my worlds, but usually they fall on a vacant lot when no one is around. Only once did one hit a lot that had sims on it, including my sims. That was in Riverview, and yes quitting without saving was definitely the order of the day. The only thing that would have been left of my five year old legacy style game would have been a couple of orphans and a dog otherwise (not quite, there was extended family around town by then but something like that).

@igazor @IreneSwift They should have set it up so that you get a very aversive effect, but not death. I remember in TS2 if struck by lightening, you pee your pants and are dirty. That is pretty scary that you can wipe out a generation if the meteor strikes at school. What gets me is how sims will go out of their way to be near the blast site.

My second meteor, in Lucky Palms, hit the military base while my sim was at work there. It hit the exact spot where her plumbob had indicated she was at the time the shadow appeared, but I knew what it was that time, and immediately sent her home. Her boyfriend was also a coworker, and he was just arriving at work (late), so I thought he might be killed, but he didn't make it inside before the meteor hit. I sent my sim to collect all the space rocks. I had to teleport her into the fenced in area behind the building, where all the damage and most of the rocks were. She made a killing on all those big space rocks, and was able to move out of her small starter house to a much nicer one.
