|---|
I played Sims 3 all day yesterday instead of doing anything productive (well except for my hot yoga class). The game's addictive. And my sim is crazy. Her name is Kelly Grottenstein - she's a bookworm writer, commitment phobe and insane. She wear inappropriate clothing - like swimsuit to a formal party or sweats to go swimming. And she talks to herself. She's also a kleptomaniac, and she goes to her neighbours' houses and swipes stuff (so far she's stolen an expensive floor lamp and an alarm clock. And a ceiling light. All of which she's sold for money).
Kelly's changed careers, expressing the desire to change right after she gets promoted. She is currently employed in the criminal career as a cut-purse and wants to get fired. I could have had her fired if the insane woman didn't get herself pregnant by her boss and go on maternity leave. I don't remember his name, but anyways, turns out she's best friends with him. She invites him over to hang out and in the space of the evening she seduces his, woo-hoos him twice (which in SIMS parlance is had sex with him, it's rated T for teen, I'm sure the teens know what sex is :P) and tried for a baby twice (so that's sex four times). She then proposes to him and gets married in a private ceremony. Poor guy is all starry-eyed and happy till Kelly the commitmnet-phobe starts fretting about how this is all too much. She then insults him and is mean. He sure didn't know what he was in for.
The happy(?) couple now have the baby. Kelly wanted a girl. It turned out to be a boy. They name him Killjoy (get it, he killed the joy of having a baby by being a boy and not a girl :P). He's supposed to be brave and evil. He's now a toddler and the only toy he has is a xylophone. Before they moved to their current two bedroom house, his crib was out in the front yard because they had no room. (I could have built another room, but I'm too lazy). His dad seems more into him than his mom who's now writing her fourth novel.
Kelly's written fiction, which was a flop; science fiction which did moderately well; and a drama novel which is a hit. She currently earns 384 simoleans a week in royalties and is working on a humour book. She aims to be a prolific enough writer so that she can live on her royalties alone. Meanwhile her husband is killing himself in the criminal career trying to make good money. He's dropped off bribes at city hall and done some other nefarious things. He's also been to jail once while Kelly sat around in her bunny slippers ignoring Killjoy and writing her novel.
Along the way Kelly's gained the ability to never have to go to the bathroom and to throw a legendary party. She throws a number of parties, including birthday parties for her husband (who at the party I find out is younger than his wife :P) and her baby. These parties have been the talk of the town even though there was no food and the guests seem bored. Kelly is also into fishing. She's caught a number of fish and has learned a thing or two about bait. And she's insane enough to go fishing in the community swimming pool.
At some point I'm going to have Kelly break up with her husband. She's already made the moves on someone else at Killjoy's birthday party. By the way, Killjoy spent his birthday party in his crib, coming out only to blow the candles and turn magically into a toddler.
I switched to another family that's not as interesting - but apparently the Grottenstein family (because Kelly proposed and the couple moved into her house, the family took her name and not his. So now the husband's also a Grottenstein, which I thought was very cool) will continue to progress. I'm curious to see what direction they take without my prompting. I've heard of families moving away and disappearing though. We'll see what happens. |
