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...

At this point I was convinced that nothing I’ll put my sims through in the Moby D. story I want to write with them can rival what they have to endure in this save.
The “earthquake” was nothing other than a hungry predator fish. Well, what do you expect when you leave giant tuna out in the open... Of course they’d attract bigger fish.

You know something is bad news when it doesn’t fit into the greenscreen.

The arrows in the sea monster’s side look pathetic, like gnat bites, hardly noticeable. The holes in the Pequod, to the contrary, are gaping.
The defending sims scored 5 and 8 points only. That hurt Moby D., but wasn't enough to save the ship. Wood was splintering left and right, more water came pouring in and (the invisible npc) sailors jumped into the lifeboats in panic.

After the brief, desperate battle, the sea monster grabbed our giant tuna and dived.
It didn’t have to come up again to get another tuna, because by then the Pequod had already sunken beneath the waves for the sea monster’s convenience. It gorged itself on tuna and crewmembers.

Eventually the waves tossed Susan and Duane onto the shore.
Kalamainu’u being a mermaid, she hadn’t been in danger of drowning, but the water was far too cold for the Sulani resident, requiring every ounce of her strength to save herself, leaving none to rescue Rika, Chris or even her husband, Siggy.

Stranded at an unknown shore, all the three shipwrecked had were each other.

Turned out Kalamainu’u also had something else: A searing hatred for Susan and Duane, whom she blamed for the loss of the Pequod (first) and her husband (second).

Susan quit on the spot, vowing to never again sail for the company. It took a direct intervention from the owner to at least get her back to coastal fishing.
As you can see, Kalamainu’u is pregnant in the screenshots. I did that just before killing off her husband to have an heir for the fishing & canned fish company. Susan now owns the old Antelope and is married to Scott Travis, and Duane was appointed Captain for my second playthrough.
