Tell me about your favourite Sim.

I always like reading about other players' sims.

"Favorite" is a bit tough for me because I have many sims I enjoy playing, many that I am very fond of, and several different stories happening. But whenever someone asks this question, I always seem to come back to this guy. He's definitely at the top of my favorites list.



His name is Lunar Seven. He's an alien-spellcaster hybrid I created with the cheat that adds the spellcaster trait. He was supposed to just be an experiment to see how well it worked, but I fell in love with him and the "test" turned into a story.


I) What do they for a career?

Lunar is currently a scientist, but he's reached level 10 (I play with aging turned off) and he's ready for a change. He'll be switching to the Engineering career as soon as he uses up the last few days of his PTO. Working from home will suit him a lot better.

Lunar also makes magic potions to sell, as a spellcaster.


II) How many members in their family: both immediate household and extended.

Lunar has a baby named Tranquility. Named after the "Sea of Tranquility" on the moon.



Tranquility was the result of an alien abduction early on in Lunar's scientist career. I'm keeping him as a baby for a full sim year (longest seasons setting) but he's almost there, so he'll be aging up to toddler in a few more weeks. Lunar is already excitedly getting a toddler room ready.

Lunar also lives with a butler he hired so that someone would be there to take care of Tranquility when Lunar gets abducted (which happens a lot), and a Servo named Ramsey that he recently finished making. He has no other family that he knows about.




III) Where do they live? Tell me a little about their house there.

Lunar lives in this underground bunker in Oasis Springs.



It has four levels underground. Lunar has a robotics and chemistry lab, a magic potion making area, a subterranean garden, a vault, a "calm room" for doing yoga and meditation, and basic living quarters for him and his household (on the lowest level). There are high security doors everywhere, and two escape routes. One escape route goes to a wormhole generator, and the other goes to his rocket ship.


IV) What challenges do they face? (maybe they live off-the-grid, get abducted or live in a haunted house…)

Lunar's main ongoing challenge is that he has both the "loner" and "paranoid" traits. Whenever he has to leave his bunker he spends most of his time tense, scared, or both. Doing his job, getting magic mentoring at the Magic Realm, and making any friends at all (he does have a couple) have all been pretty rough for him.



He had a mishap making potions at one point and got the curse of repulsiveness, which did not help make him more comfortable around people, poor guy. He didn't know how to get rid of curses himself at the time, so he spent quite a while like that before Morgyn Ember helped him find the tomes he needed. (Sometimes, for story purposes, I briefly move sims between households so I can control who I need to control to make a plot point happen. Morgyn had already lost his status as a Sage because he had apparently decided to become a secret agent. So I made him a house, and had him gift Lunar the tomes.)

Lunar also gets abducted by aliens a lot, so finding a way to make sure his baby is cared for when that happens (and getting used to having a butler and Servo in his home) was a challenge for him as well. But he's getting used to them.


V) What is their single greatest achievement to date?

Getting that Servo finished. Wow, that takes a long time!


VI) In a few words, tell me their idea of the “best” adventure.

I don't think Lunar is really into adventures. He tries to avoid them. :lol: Just like Bilbo Baggins.

But just being an alien, alone on a human world, has been quite an adventure for him, whether he wanted it to be or not.
