Crazy Stories

This one is a treat! It has two parts.

My sim was cooking waffles in the morning. He put waffles in the oven and of course he receives a phone call. He ignores the oven and answers the phone. I am trying to get him to go back to the cooking but it is too late. A fire starts in the oven and causes a disruption. I was pretty annoyed with that sim.

Here is the fun part. The firefighter shows up (Valentin Frye), who my household is friends with. Someone must have done the hot tub towel prank on him because he showed up in a towel. He is still wearing the helmet and boots. Ladies, if you want your firefighter to look like this, take away his clothes while in the hot tub.

This one is actually sort of sad and funny at the same time lol.
So I was playing this one explorer family, two parents and a toddler child. The parents were in the backyard, practicing Martial Arts, while the toddler was in the kitchen/dining room/living room area, playing with her Xylophone.
The dishwasher had broken, so a mechanic came and fixed it, because I wasn't about to let the parents possibly die trying to fix it.
So I'm watching the kid and the mechanic, and suddenly the mechanic died. In front of the toddler. Who just kept playing music and laughing. Grim Reaper came, took him away.
As soon as he was gone from the camera, I get a pop-up.
From the mechanic. Saying he's done, and taking 50 bucks from me.
Really? You gonna bribe the reaper or something? Sheesh.

Lolz. I guess the repairman needed to pay the ferryman...

I'm currently building a haunted house, so I created 6 Sims to kill in various ways. The first one, drowning, worked perfectly. But then I tried to kill a teenager by fire, and it was harder than I expected...
I used the trick of leaving food on the oven for this one. Or rather, this three. I have to put spoilers because it's so many pictures.


Attempt 1/3: Three tables around the oven.
Result: She just resumes cooking and then walks outside of the table "trap" with a perfect plate of food.



Attempt 2/3: Walls instead of tables. She sits on a chair. Technically no way to continue cooking.
Result: She just gets up from the chair and walks between the burning oven and the walls. Then extinguishes the fire.



Attempt 3/3a: I technically made the stove a room, so there is no escape. She gets a park bench to take a nap on while she is burning. As you can see, I'm annoyed of her survival skills by now.
Result: She can't get up to die (routing error?), so she just decides to survive again. While the rest is burning down until the fire even vanishes on its own. Her butt being on fire counts as a fire having broken out, so I can't use build/buy mode.


Attempt 3/3b: I use the "AlwaysAllowBuildBuy true" cheat (that I had to search on my phone for this) to even let anything happen in the game. There weren't any cheats used previously, except for the money used to create the house.
I delete the walls around her and cancel the action of sitting on the bench. No response still, so I do a bit of "testingcheatsenabled true" and object-delete the bench. She doesn't even care. And yes, her butt is still on fire.

I use "resetsim" and she appears near the front door, then finally dies. The rest of the household (minus the guy who drowned) gathers around her burnt remains.



The interesting thing is that the game gave her the name Lynette Nopens. So I like to think that she always said "Nope death, not today!" when each of my attempts failed.
Lynette is also a rather major part of the story I planned for the living family that's gonna live there after they all died. So I enjoyed having to kill her the hard way, that makes her much more special to me. As an opposite example, the drowning Sim just shaked hands with the Grim Reaper and happily went away, while Lynette was clinging on to life so much I had to use godly powers to get rid of her.

And here, she is probably saying "But Death! I have defied you so often! I don't wanna die now!"

Well, that was one heck of a ride from start to finish XD and that name! Nopens! Sometimes I truly wonder if the game likes to mess with us on purpose.

@TinySpaceFox
There are hilarious examples in the German last names too. Like "Schwupp" (like the "poof" effect when something vanishes) and "Pfosten" (literally translated: pole; but also used as a word for someone who is dumb).
But Nopens is the best one I've seen so far in the English(?) list :D

The Sim who drowned had the last name Grasnick. In German there is the saying "ins Gras beissen" (to bite into the grass) which means dying. So it was fitting perfectly for his purpose, which was to just die.

@Pancakesandwich That is mean... yet funny. I ought to send you my sims. They start cooking, get distracted with some pointless thing such as a phone call, and then start a fire. Or when I had the fryer they obsessively fry their food, I cancel their interactions as an effort to get them to eat the countless amount of leftovers in the fridge, and then a fire starts because they left food in the fryer. They are guaranteed to start a fire in your sim home!

Maybe that is your haunted house right there. That girl is immortal! :)
Thank you for your story and for the pictures. This is a great story.

The name of this story is Downtown Dilemma. I have my sims living in Bridgeport now, so consequently they live in a high rise. There is no way to plant a garden in the apartment, so I improvised! I planted my garden right in the front of the building. They seem so out of place there! It is pretty funny. They make a pretty decent income though. Monetized skill + part time job = easy money.

The name of this story is Bowl Bothering! I have seen this happen a few times. My sim will be cooking and then he glitches out and he walks around with the bowl on his arm, yet the game doesn't recognize as it there. This problem is not exclusive to my sim. I used the resetsim cheat to get it off. That is my simself featured in this picture.

We all know the legendary freezer bunny. Well today I went to the store and I saw this product in the freezer. I call it the freezer polar bear! He kind of looks like he belongs with the freezer bunny. I couldn't resist purchasing one. They are pretty tasty. I love the whole freezer bunny thing. Does anyone have any freezer bunny stories?
Sometimes I make my sim sunbathe just to see the freezer bunny towel. It also is fun to take a look in the freezers in TS2 and see those things in there.
