Welcome to the Big Brother challenge! Originally by gizmoman49 on MTS. https://i.imgur.com/0hxLcrw.jpg Rules 1) There will be 8 Sims in the house to start with. Once the first four have b...
So the challenge this week is going to be... a dance-off! This requires bringing back the low-quality speaker from the attempted party, only this time they'll be able to keep it all week. Do well enough, and they'll get an upgrade for a better stereo! No dancefloor yet - they'll get those cardboard ones as they level up their dancing skills (hopefully!).
Excuse me this is illegal. https://i.imgur.com/DQYt8Ks.png
Some gratuitous teleporting later, and everyone is back inside. No escaping that easily! Drop and gimme 20! https://i.imgur.com/h03uDGd.png
The girls hang out outside... https://i.imgur.com/ZLwY2Tc.png
Caleb is waaay too perky for 6 AM on a Sunday morning... https://i.imgur.com/Y9hjTqi.png
...and Diego has forgotten what beds are despite all four of them being free. https://i.imgur.com/M8A4xAg.png
...oh god it's Prank Day. Pray for them. https://i.imgur.com/5j62a5x.png
Bustin' a move. And yes, Caleb, Cass, and Don all ventured back to the Pool of Doom! https://i.imgur.com/A57xw2C.png
This is the first time I've seen all of the housemates autonomously doing the same activity! I guess anything that can help raise Fun is helpful? https://i.imgur.com/OTmCOai.png
Diego pls. https://i.imgur.com/fnmciaS.png
Hey check it out it's my main household! https://i.imgur.com/RttrxEJ.png
I will never understand why Sims love discussing local fishing spots so much, but hey, if the materialistic vampire and the goofball comedian from a desert want to talk fishing, go for it! https://i.imgur.com/DbUVSq7.png
It never fails to amuse me just how perky Morgyn is. That Outgoing trait is powerful! https://i.imgur.com/rzvR2nt.png
Okay, all done. I'm going to send Lilith to sell all the fresh produce. I'm thinking at this point I'm going to just sell everything so they can buy better food, since they don't seem to be making use of the actual items. They make $229! Also, the cap totally fails to save!
Cass has officially entered A Rage from the windchimes. Interesting how variable the response to them can be, really. https://i.imgur.com/IY2jxN6.png
Diego gives up on the apple salad he was making, and starts angrily making another. https://i.imgur.com/It8KEME.png
He seems spectacularly unimpressed with Caleb's attempts at flirting, oh dear... https://i.imgur.com/mG1nK8C.png
Okay I just got an alert that Johnny is burning to death and...? What's in that drink?! https://i.imgur.com/OdVpQio.png
Cass has discovered Morgyn and Don's Monopoly session and apparently is impressed with their technique. https://i.imgur.com/bpJ6ULf.png
Johnny once again demonstrates how chill he is with like... literally everything. https://i.imgur.com/oKR5ph8.png
"WHY ME." https://i.imgur.com/SHK4H9G.png
Morgyn to the rescue! https://i.imgur.com/tNWAODX.png
A very excitable vampire!! https://i.imgur.com/eWp3XwK.png
Morgyn, did you seriously just spend $20 on fancy coffee? "So what if I did?" Okay okay please don't inferniate me I'm just the narrator! https://i.imgur.com/1D5VkSn.png
Oh neat, TIL you actually see and hear planes landing over Del Sol. https://i.imgur.com/dZW41wK.png
Caleb plays a prank on Lilith by giving her a frighten! She's very amused. I think this is the only actual Mischief interaction I've seen all day? https://i.imgur.com/47OQ5I1.png
Multitasking. https://i.imgur.com/qLhw8Yz.png
Things I wasn't expecting - Don and Morgyn developing a bed-sharing habit. https://i.imgur.com/ga9eETg.png
There are literally two free beds? https://i.imgur.com/sBq35tw.png
Cass, what did I just say about free beds?! https://i.imgur.com/TvwogR6.png
She seems to be enjoying her solo spa time, at least! Fair enough, she is a loner. https://i.imgur.com/WUpgHPT.png
Much better. All the humans are asleep! https://i.imgur.com/f3EHOBg.png
And the vampire twins are hanging out and playing some basketball (and at least one needs a shower). https://i.imgur.com/xvQK8vz.png
Lilith hits the showers, thankfully, and Caleb gets in some physically impossible tank-staring time. Sweetheart, that side is opaque... https://i.imgur.com/GEqro0P.png
Johnny *popcorns* over breakfast and tries to ignore Caleb's biceps. https://i.imgur.com/LvvwIIg.png
...well, maybe he can think about them a little. https://i.imgur.com/YwGlRKR.png
Have none of you heard of a balanced breakfast?! https://i.imgur.com/Twm7htz.png
........okay so apparently Johnny appreciated Caleb's biceps more than I realised. https://i.imgur.com/OvvQwlP.png
Oh god the bills have arrived and there's $16,000 worth. Well, that settles it. Someone's gonna have to sell a kidney. https://i.imgur.com/2E8ZQIs.png
Cassandra is deeply amused at her housemate's dance moves and remain blissfully oblivious about their impending financial ruin. https://i.imgur.com/EPhyYtZ.png
Some people research. Others try to sell every harvestable in reach to try and pay the bills. $421, yeah, that's not gonna cover it... https://i.imgur.com/8NZnAdN.png
Emergency bill meeting, perhaps? https://i.imgur.com/ek9lM5Z.png
(...No, Lilith and Cass, I don't think Monopoly will help. Not without mods I don't have, anyway.)
Morgyn: "PLANTS!" https://i.imgur.com/G01pskc.png
Caleb: "omg how cute are they with their enthusiasm <3 " https://i.imgur.com/2IPoVqY.png
Don: "I can think of better activities..." (Sports. He means sports.) https://i.imgur.com/zgqxOOU.png
Cass makes a salad because she's hungry... then immediately ditches it to go to bed. Sims autonomy, everyone! https://i.imgur.com/hYuG2Lf.png
So a money tree would help a lot. On the downside, while the housemates have enough points combined to get one, no one has enough individually. Lilith is the highest at 3,010. https://i.imgur.com/TJ4NpOI.png
Caleb is a dance star! He's the first to get a dance floor! https://i.imgur.com/B7IOCWG.png
Aaand we end day two of week two with Don flirting with a deeply unimpressed Lilith. https://i.imgur.com/po4F8Pn.png
"Can you believe this guy?" https://i.imgur.com/cImILsL.png
Participation time! I have a few ideas on how they can solve their money woes - I'd love to hear what you think!
First, someone can buy a Money Tree. This requires 5,000 points, and currently the highest is Lilith, which just over 3k. It will also take a week to be harvestable and even then it won't even pay off the whole lot straight away. In the mean time, those utilities are going off!
Next, Caleb and Lilith (the only two Sims with over 2,000 points) can get the Frugal trait, which gives a 44% reduction in bills. It will also be a massive setback in getting a money tree.
Third option, start selling items!
Fourth option, temporarily turn the place into an Off-The-Grid property. This will remove bills entirely at the expense of being able to do the dance-off challenge, although honestly, that could be a challenge in and of itself.
Fifth option, cheat. I mean, it's not like Big Brother contestants have to pay their own bills anyway.
Sixth option, cheat, but with an excuse. I can just explain that I'm combining points so they can get the tree!
Seventh option, harvest someone's kidneys.
I'm currently thinking a combination: sell some stuff, then go off the grid. While the housemates attempt to deal with this, either try and raise satisfaction points to buy a money tree, or, if they don't have it after a while, cheat and justify it by saying they pooled their resources.
