Back to the Big Brother house for days 4-6! It's currently Wednesday afternoon, going to do the first challenge on Friday morning, let's see if they manage to survive until then!
Big Brother 2020 - Challenge 1
This is going to be a two-part system - a challenge first for immunity, followed by voting. That's where you come in! I'm going to be including a strawpoll at the end with the losing team - have a vote, and you'll choose who goes home on Sunday!
So I'm doing 1-week seasons, so we'll be getting two... 'years', I guess, throughout the course of the series. The Sims is just kind of like that. It's summer at the moment, so let's go with a summery challenge! I'm dividing the housemates into two teams, and they'll be using the diving platform for points!
Works like this: each housemate will try to perform the three dives, the cannonball, the backflip, and the swan dive. For each dive performed correctly, they'll get one point. For each one done incorrectly, they'll neither gain nor lose points. For each lost swimsuit, they'll lose a point ;D In the end, the team with the highest number of points will gain immunity, and the losing team will be up for elimination!
To divide the teams, I used Random.org, which has a list randomiser. Listed everyone alphabetically, then shuffled the list. And we have!
Team Pineapple: Cassandra, Diego, Johnny, Malcolm.
Team Banana: Don, Morgyn, Lilith, Caleb.
(Just quietly, with two athletic Sims, I suspect Banana will be winning.)
And may the best housemates win!
Team Banana is ridiculously victorious, not just due to Malcolm's forfeit (he would have had to get 3/3 to even tie), and will have immunity for the next elimination! And that means the four members of Team Pineapple - Johnny, Cass, Malcolm, and Diego - are now up for elimination.
Here is the poll. Only your votes can save your favourites! (Just quietly, I think we know who's getting voted out, heh.)
Spoiler
First, a bit of maintenance - based on a tip from @AngeliqueAdelaide , I quickly added in a computer and had Caleb order a bunch of plasma packs and put them in his and Lilith's inventory. They should take them autonomously, so hopefully they won't end up going on a rampage!
That done, let's see what everyone is doing. Cassandra has just made a plate of burgers! Thank you, Cass! Malcolm is ignoring them in favour of another bowl of popcorn, Diego is making fruit salad, Caleb is chatting to him. Morgyn and Don are flirting oh god. Johnny is napping on the sofa, Lilith is swearing in frustration due to her need for activity.

Check back with the others, and Morgyn is now flirting with Diego. Better choice, bby. "Like what you see?"
https://i.imgur.com/8A6aTjM.png
"Yes. Yes I do."
https://i.imgur.com/jZhQX4D.png
Personal space, guys!!
https://i.imgur.com/f0qUlpQ.png
Now Lilith and Morgyn are flirting. Do I need to saltpetre the water, guys?!
https://i.imgur.com/XtiZGDN.png
Lilith: on the hunt. Diego: uncertain where this is going. Johnny: completely oblivious.
https://i.imgur.com/XsQgTn0.png
Finally, two Sims that aren't flirting!
https://i.imgur.com/oSEXf1w.png
I just really dig the difference in sibling interactions here. The Vatores are just hanging out and enjoying each other's company, and Malcolm is... autonomously yelling at Johnny.
https://i.imgur.com/xCiypVS.png
Cass is above all this nonsense and just wants a working sink, guys.
https://i.imgur.com/dqqnXju.png
LILITH NO.
https://i.imgur.com/AUsNgu9.png
She knows what she wants, at least!
https://i.imgur.com/2yfSy95.png
Morgyn conducts some important research. More important than the trash behind them, apparently!
https://i.imgur.com/awTOsUg.png
https://i.imgur.com/BC8RlVD.png
Johnny and Morgyn crash...
https://i.imgur.com/xeutztM.png
...while the girls get their sports on.
https://i.imgur.com/j8ilPQR.png
Malcolm is in the can, Diego is showering, and Caleb is in the pool. Don has discovered Cass's burgers and has... promptly put it down to complain about the trash.
https://i.imgur.com/KN5q66G.png
Don attempts repair work while Diego is literally *popcorns*
https://i.imgur.com/KwGAD0l.png
The house makes its first money! There was 10 simoleons in the trash! Don still is deeply unimpressed.
https://i.imgur.com/K4KPMaU.png
TIL evil Sims have a 'laugh maniacally' option.
https://i.imgur.com/Fx5wddE.png
Don isn't too sure what to make of these veggie burgers.
https://i.imgur.com/4DHNLkn.png
Morgyn departs for Reasons...
https://i.imgur.com/7dsZ7Kn.png
...while Diego stares creepily at Cass. Dude there are literally two free beds?! And - holup.

https://i.imgur.com/GFgKpwD.png
Five of the eight are out for the count!
https://i.imgur.com/VFFy5uy.png
SPLASHED.
https://i.imgur.com/rAYuh3H.png
"NOT. FUNNY. LILITH." "lmao are you kidding it was hilarious."
https://i.imgur.com/JG24oNE.png
Morgyn is quietly enjoying some late (or early? It's 2 AM) dinner...
https://i.imgur.com/Pe5MjKk.png
...when Caleb disturbs the peace.
https://i.imgur.com/JIAtYUP.png
"Ooh, parts!" Morgyn honey is that sanitary?
https://i.imgur.com/WbqkfGG.png
Caleb has just spent 9 of their 10 simoleons on some nice calming tea. (Lemon honey ginger detox tea, if you're curious!)
https://i.imgur.com/0RcuQxj.png
This is how Lilith prefers to finish a long day, herself.
https://i.imgur.com/LJOYoys.png
While Morgyn cleans up the now-foul burgers, Caleb gets his flirt on.
https://i.imgur.com/lGCLoZd.png
*Jaws theme intensifies*
https://i.imgur.com/7jJ9K2M.png
It's now Thursday proper! Morgyn continues their research.
https://i.imgur.com/MQtFYhs.png
Breakfast of champions.
https://i.imgur.com/llJA1SR.png
Cassandra is most pleased to not actually be breakfast!
https://i.imgur.com/6PCCONR.png
Caleb tells a gross joke...
https://i.imgur.com/TJvqd9f.png
...and gets very different reactions.
https://i.imgur.com/MXezwcm.png
Cass does the adorable popcorn toss. Lilith likes the look of that snack.
https://i.imgur.com/w8Q2c10.png
Caleb: "They're showing off again, aren't they?"
https://i.imgur.com/6NbpgnW.png
"If I become one with the wall, no one can bother me."
https://i.imgur.com/TCFCYNC.png
Intense activity!
https://i.imgur.com/Hom8IPq.png
Meanwhile, Diego and Johnny... uh, have their own activities. Okay sorry make that Diego, Johnny, and Morgyn. They're playing Monopoly, you know how that gets!
Caleb knows what happens with Monopoly, yes.
https://i.imgur.com/0VoxPEE.png
Some nice healthy socialisation.
https://i.imgur.com/GGTWHbc.png
Lilith makes an ill-advised decision to investigate.
https://i.imgur.com/GFRAPxi.png
"Oh my Watcher, guess what I just saw!"
https://i.imgur.com/ApZitrq.png
"And they didn't invite me?!"
https://i.imgur.com/97MGGpa.png
Further reactions!
https://i.imgur.com/KNpEEpb.png
Morgyn...
https://i.imgur.com/L5MmSTN.png
M o r g y n . . .
https://i.imgur.com/UQFl9oz.png
I find it a little sad that every time Caleb talks to someone autonomously about vampirism, he immediately goes straight for talking about a cure :(
https://i.imgur.com/al5KbJE.png
More sickness! Caleb has a headache, Lilith's head feels all stuffy, and earlier Morgyn was feverish, although they seem to have thrown it off for now.
https://i.imgur.com/CX959Sb.png
This is not social distancing.
https://i.imgur.com/KekFUiq.png
Lilith has a rare sleep. Which is good because Basketball Cannot Be Denied and she keeps going out in the sun.
https://i.imgur.com/f8VmIoe.png
Sicknesses continue! Cass has a rash, and now Diego has a stuffed head, too!
https://i.imgur.com/nl6JSwE.png
Which absolutely does not stop Don from flirting.
https://i.imgur.com/VvYfxiV.png
"Do you think maybe we'd see the fish better if we were standing on the side with the glass?"
https://i.imgur.com/BIia2Kc.png
Oh my god they're so cute. It's not like they're my main save OTP and it fills my heart with sunlight and happiness when they interact or anything.
https://i.imgur.com/okLLC3G.png
Don shows up, Johnny immediately walks off and Caleb gives Don this look.
https://i.imgur.com/MGAkeFQ.png
...oh okay it's because of his headache. I like my interpretation better, but okay!
https://i.imgur.com/J4eEwqR.png
After playing some basketball and showering, Caleb goes to chat with Don (willingly). "No hard feelings?"
https://i.imgur.com/ofIG9td.png
Well here's a conundrum! Does Don have a good enough relationship to share with anyone out of Lilith, Morgyn, Johnny, or Malcolm?
https://i.imgur.com/V309a0j.png
Nope. He wakes up Johnny, who has an almost full energy bar anyway. Go eat a food, Johnny.
https://i.imgur.com/3Bdkokq.png
"HECC." (He's feeling very tense both from his weird leftover Ambitious debuffs even though I changed that trait to Romantic, and from his now pressurised head.)
https://i.imgur.com/AM3GFik.png
You know what not the most clean or spacious location but I'll go with it. Have fun, boys <3
(Mods, they're both clothed. It's all good. Just some smooching.)
https://i.imgur.com/ZuQAxb3.png
...well that's one way to get out of the house! (Teleport mishap. Back in you go, bby!)
https://i.imgur.com/nb810c4.png
Morgyn is tense (lack of employment), Johnny is... splotchy. Both are still very into their popcorn.
(Alas, I had a tragedy of a failed cap not properly saving, but Morgyn was sharing a bed with Diego earlier!)
https://i.imgur.com/QhlC5zL.png
It's 10 AM and Diego and Cass are still sleeping. Come on, guys, it's Challenge Day!
https://i.imgur.com/tDDubqM.png
And they're up! I'll give them a bit of time to get their needs in order. Also, Don, Lilith, and Morgyn are currently. Busy. Playing Monopoly. On the bedroom floor. Okay it's literally 7 PM. Little bit of intervention - I'm going to teleport everyone to the pool area, put them in their swimwear, and remove the door. Time for the diving challenge!!
That done, let's see what everyone is doing. Cassandra has just made a plate of burgers! Thank you, Cass! Malcolm is ignoring them in favour of another bowl of popcorn, Diego is making fruit salad, Caleb is chatting to him. Morgyn and Don are flirting oh god.

Big Brother 2020 - Challenge 1
This is going to be a two-part system - a challenge first for immunity, followed by voting. That's where you come in! I'm going to be including a strawpoll at the end with the losing team - have a vote, and you'll choose who goes home on Sunday!
So I'm doing 1-week seasons, so we'll be getting two... 'years', I guess, throughout the course of the series. The Sims is just kind of like that. It's summer at the moment, so let's go with a summery challenge! I'm dividing the housemates into two teams, and they'll be using the diving platform for points!

For each one done incorrectly, they'll neither gain nor lose points. For each lost swimsuit, they'll lose a point ;D In the end, the team with the highest number of points will gain immunity, and the losing team will be up for elimination!
To divide the teams, I used Random.org, which has a list randomiser. Listed everyone alphabetically, then shuffled the list. And we have!
Team Pineapple: Cassandra, Diego, Johnny, Malcolm.
Team Banana: Don, Morgyn, Lilith, Caleb.
(Just quietly, with two athletic Sims, I suspect Banana will be winning.)
And may the best housemates win!
Spoiler
The housemates are assembled (and the door has been removed. There is no escape!!). Don't they look thrilled.
https://i.imgur.com/9bGRhAF.png
First up is Lilith for Team Banana! LOOK OUT BELOW!
https://i.imgur.com/4xPEIRb.png
Cannonball: successful! Backflip: successful, but oh no, a lost suit! Swan dive: fail!
Johnny looks like he's volunteering to go next!
https://i.imgur.com/5NWVSIf.png
Cannonball: successful! Backflip: successful! Swan dive: fail! "OH WATCHER THAT SMARTS!!"
https://i.imgur.com/EoIifVS.png
And so on!
Cass does a cannonball successfully! Fails the backflip! Aaand fails the swan dive!
This is not a happy group.
https://i.imgur.com/4YxRQTn.png
Malcolm is too uncomfortable to dive, mostly because he's just peed himself, so I'm going to intervene to give him a bit more energy. Still, even after that, he refuses to jump, so... y'know what? I'm gonna call that a forfeit!
Four down, four to go! Next up is Diego! Somehow fails a cannonball, successfully backflips (of all things!) but loses his bathers, and is the first to make the swan dive!
Over to the bananas and Morgyn! Cannonball is successful, backflip is a fail, and swan dive is a success!
Caleb autonomously does a successful backflip, so I guess he's going next ;) Cannonball fails (and he loses his suit!), and somehow he nails the swan dive, too!
Last but not least, Don! He nails the cannonball, nails the backflip, and nails the swan dive, and is the first to get a perfect score! Now go take a shower you smelly man!
And here is the scoreboard!
Team Banana
Lilith Vatore: 1 / 1 (and -1) / 0 = 1
Morgyn Ember: 1 / 0 / 1 = 2
Caleb Vatore: 0 (and -1) / 1 / 1 = 1
Don Lothario: 1 / 1 / 1 = 3
Total: 7
Team Pineapple
Johnny Zest: 1 / 1 / 0 = 2
Cassandra Goth: 1 / 0 / 0 = 1
Malcolm Landgraab: 0
Diego Lobo: 0 / 1 (and -1) / 1 = 1

Team Banana is ridiculously victorious, not just due to Malcolm's forfeit (he would have had to get 3/3 to even tie), and will have immunity for the next elimination! And that means the four members of Team Pineapple - Johnny, Cass, Malcolm, and Diego - are now up for elimination.
Here is the poll. Only your votes can save your favourites! (Just quietly, I think we know who's getting voted out, heh.)
