Captain Ahab inspired fishing challenge
This challenge started with me wanting to shoot a sims picture story in the Moby Dick story. While setting up the scenes, I got inspired to turn the lot into a functional one. Of course my gameplay si...

My sims Chris, Tina, Susan and Rika have learned fishing during their teen years on a smaller boat that I built them. Now they are ready to tackle larger prey. Along on the trip come the two premades that seem like natural fits for this lifestyle: Duane Talla and Angela Pleasant (it’s her dream job in Sims 2).
Here they all sleep in the Pequod’s hold, stowed down here interchangeably with the rest of the tools. Truth be told, to the company they probably are exactly that :( The owner's husband is a good person, but his wife, son and daughter-in law are materialistic bordering on evil. A bit like the Landgraab, now that I come to think of it.

Tina and Susan have first watch, so let’s wake them up!

Normally a ship that has just left port should still be loaded with fresh provisions, alas, I forgot to give my sims starting funds, so they couldn’t even buy anything if I rolled a Trade Ship encounter first thing in the morning.

It’ll be gruel for them for the foreseeable future.
Gruel is a zero cost cc food made by LittleBowbub. Since it has no ingredients or cost, sims can make it freely on Simple Living lots, but it gives them Sad+2 after eating.

My fishing crew’s first ingame encounter was an asteroid that was homing in right on Susan halfway through her watch. She left the crow’s nest in time and the asteroid crashed into the ocean, but not before razing the Pequod’s yardarms and burning her sails (because my first rolled encounter was 6 points sail damage - that’s the maximum value).
This journey was off to a rocky start.
