Jumping right in the new forums with a Casting Call for sims. Need 7 sims to participate in the Asylum Challenge.
The Asylum Challenge will be played on Hard Mode. All lot traits will be used, except simple living. I will only be controlling my own sim. The rest of the sims will run amuck...er...free in the asylum. The rules for the challenge are HERE
1. Create your sim. Teen, YA, Adult or Elder. The only requirement is that they must have the erratic trait. 2. Occults welcome (except vampires, as I don't have the pack). 3. No cc as I play a vanilla game. 4. Create a backstory for your sim on how they ended up in the asylum. 5. Post your sim below and on the gallery using #SOULGALASYLUM 6. DEADLINE: FRIDAY, JULY 26th.
Patient claims an imaginary friend from the “world of pure imagination” is taking over his life by pretending to be him. According to the patient, when he was 6, he summoned his imaginary friend, Geppetto, who possessed a doll. He promised to make Geppetto a real boy. Upon performing the necessary ritual, instead of becoming a real Sim, Geppetto took over the body of the patient’s brother. According to the patient, Geppetto has declared "there can only be one."
Our interview with the patient's family uncovered a history of what they described as an “overactive imagination.” The patient has a twin brother whom he began claiming was actually his imaginary friend who came to life when they were 14. Patient has been in several freak accidents which he claims his twin orchestrated to get rid of him. However, there isn’t any solid evidence. Conversely, the brother also claims that the patient has attacked him to "get him first." Patient now isn’t sure if his twin is the imaginary one or if he is. He appears to be suffering from delusional psychosis. Patient’s father signed off on his being admitted to Newcrest Hospital.
I am sure Dante will feel right at home with the other residents in this...um...safe environment. Let's hope no-one else looks like his brother...er...imaginary friend.
This is a house I built a few years ago, and just renovated it a bit for this challenge.
Front of the run-down build.
Back of build with maze, garden area, and pool. A basketball court is on the right-hand side and a ping-pong table on the left. The pool and basketball court count as 2 skill items.
A graveyard on the left front of the property. The build is eco-friendly with a solar panel, wind turbine and water collector on the property.
Outdoor therapy session at the front right.
The entrance to the facility is very small. Archway to the right is to the living room. Archway to the left is the kitchen. There is also a door to an office on the left.
To the right is the living room area. A fireplace, bookshelves, a small tv, a Don't Wake the Llama game and a violin provide some entertainment for the residents. There are also 2 mirrors on the opposite wall, and a fishbowl on a table near the archway. Seating on a loveseat and a rocker provide 3 seating spots. The violin is one of the skill items.
Going through the archway from the living room is a room devoted to gardening and painting. The bonsai plant is another skill item (gardening).
At the other side of the room is the painting area, and the easel is another skill item. This is the last skill item allowed. The archway leads to the art therapy room, and there is a door on the right that leads outside.
The Art Therapy room also holds the laundry area for the facility.
The kitchen holds off-the-grid fridge, stove and sink. There is a stool at the island, which is the last permissible seat. As per the rules, there is no fire alarm.
The bathroom is really small with just a toilet and tub/shower combo.
There is an office on the main level with a computer and chair; however, the office has been locked. Either a tv or a computer can be used, so for now, the tv is accessible.
Upstairs are the two bedrooms of 2 beds each for a total of 4 beds. The chair at the desk area is not accessible as grass has been placed under it. A dresser and bookshelf flank the wall and there is another mirror on the opposite wall.
SoulGal7I love the attention to detail. Also glad that you picked the violin instead of the piano. Kahi has a hang up about things that start with the letter P (P is for Pollination Program).
Kahi is just a sim I had lying around. I won't be offended if you don't think he's exciting enough to cast. Per the rules of the challenge he's playing, he had to have the Kleptomaniac trait and two randomized traits. The randomizer gifted him with Erratic and Paranoid.
Kahi and his best friend Nanami.
It all started with his father, who was jealous and controlling. When Kahi was a toddler, his mother couldn't take it anymore, so she ran off to Sulani. Kahi's father never told him about his mother's true whereabouts. In stead, Kahi grew up believing his father's story about an alien conspiracy that culminated in his mother's abduction. This left Kahi with deep-seated paranoia.
As a teenager, he started hallucinating. He sought comfort in regressing by knitting toys and listening to Kid's music. His best friend Nanami is childish and loves the toys he knits for her. He's in love with her but he's worried that he's just too broken to be the partner she deserves. He's also started to obsess about finding his mother (in space, not Sulani). He's taken to swiping things that he thinks might be "clues" to the alien conspiracy. It was during one such attempt that he was accosted by Officer Talia of the Willow Creek PD. Talia happened to have Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). After a brief conversation, she was convinced that Kahi needed to be taken to a CIT assessment center. There, he was given a conditional diagnosis of Unspecified Psychosis and recommended for inpatient psychiatric care and additional assessment. At Newcrest Hospital, he was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder -bipolar type, and scopophobia. It is believed he will need lengthy treatment in order to stabilize. If you choose to play with him, I hope you take good care of him.
Police received a 911 call from Mei Prescott, Principal of Copperdale High School, about a confused young woman wandering the halls of the school in a prom dress. Upon arrival, police found the young woman in the cafeteria. When police tried to lead the sim away, she became somewhat hysterical and said she had to stay there as she was waiting for the "star quarterback" to present his promposal to her. The patient then rambled on about how she knew that the "star quarterback" was going to ask her because he was her "secret admirer". After conferring together, the police told the young woman that the "star quarterback" had asked them to bring her to another location where the "star quarterback" was waiting for her. With that, the patient smiled and willingly left with the police who then brought her to Newcrest Hospital for observation. After running several tests, the doctors diagnosed the patient with a paranoid delusional disorder. It appeared that the patient was reliving a traumatic event from her past, but thought that it was happening in the present time. She told them her name was Emilia Hurley, and finding no next of kin, the doctors admitted her to the local asylum. On the ride over, Emilia asked if they were driving her to the prom.

A 911 call from Mei Prescott, Principal of Copperdale High School, alerted the authorities to the presence of a young woman wearing a prom dress wandering the halls of the school. When the officers tried to lead the sim away, the patient became distraught and told the officers that she could not leave the school as the star quarterback would be arriving shortly with his promposal. Afterall, tomorrow was prom night and she knew that he wanted to ask her as his prom date. After conferring amongst themselves, the officers told the patient that the "star quarterback" was at another location and he wanted the officers to bring the patient to him. With that, the patient willingly accompanied them to nearby Newcrest Hospital, where she was immediately placed under a doctor's care. After examining the patient, it was determined that she was reliving a past traumatic incident as if it were happening right now. The patient gave her name as Emilia Hurley, but no next of kin could be located. Due to her paranoia and delusional state, the doctors concurred that she be placed in an asylum for her own protection. On the ride there, Emila asked if she was being driven to the prom.

Patient was found wandering aimlessly in the forest and was severely dehydrated and dazed. She was covered in scratches, and her clothes were torn and dirty. Patient did not appear to know where she was and was mumbling incoherently about some Evil Queen trying to kill her. Patient was sedated and brought to the Newcrest Hospital for observation. After undergoing tests and a thorough examination, it was determined that the patient was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Since no next of kin could be located, the doctors felt it was wise for the patient to be admitted to an asylum, especially after the patient told them that her name was Snow White.
