Samethana's Sims

I love the new items from the sims store! They're tacky yes, but now my simmies can have stuff in their homes I would never dare to buy irl.
Here's a thing I noticed though:

Angela Pleasant anyone??

Also, I luuuuuuuurve the new hairstyles, the new long one is perfect for my self-sim and the Shirley Temple one for the kiddies is cute as hell!

I really hope EA keeps bringing this stuff on after TS3 is released since I don't think I'll be getting that and I've restricted myself to only Maxis cc and two or three other pieces that I absolutely cannot live without. I NEED these stuffeths.

Maxis Taste Dare 010: Formal Makeover

2008-12-14T00:00:53Z

A.K.A. A day in the life of Don Lothario.

As he was looking in the mirror, Don wasn't sure what to wear. Since he was engaged to Cassandra he owned some designersuits, so it really wasn't a problem, but for some reason, he didn't feel right about tonight.
Has more of a jeans and a T-shirt kind of guy actually. And if he could, he'd walk around naked.

Would be easier if he knew what his date was going to wear. So they could match. Like TomKat. Or the Beckhams. "That's just ridiculous", he thought. He looked through his closet and took out the first suit that caught his eye. "Perfect, this will match anything and the other doctors won't make fun of me looking too much like my girl".

But who was his girl tonight?He had a very tight routine, so he couldn't make any mistakes. Let's go over it again Don.

Monday: Cassandra, his sweet fiancee, oblivious of everything her lover does behind her back.

Tuesday: Nina, high-school sweetheart and still soo much fun and no strings attached.

Wednesday: Dina, elegant and sophisticated. Very expensive to keep long-term.

Thursday: Kaylyn, hangs around after she cleans the house. Nice, simple and doesn't ask too many questions.

Friday: Els, the gardner. Makes him sweat more than she does while gardening.

Saturday: Dagmar, the mail lady. Drop dead gorgeous but unaware of it and talks a bit too much.

Soo, today is sunday. Usually the day where Don does nothing but sleeping, but today ws the annual ball at the clinic so he had to attend. He wondered who he asked as the doorbell rang. "Looking great Don, go get it!"

"Hi honey, ready for a fun evening with the Don?"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...!!! This can't be happening!! I'm still so young!!"

Six beautiful angry ladies were standing at his door...

"RUN DON!! Run for your life!!"

I know I do :D

Veronaville Asylum Part 3

2008-12-13T23:24:53Z

All good things must come in three right? So you'll be glad to see that ~~Angela~~ Juliette is doing a lot better than we have last seen her.

She's practicing with Baggy for when her baby arrives.

And here it is, like it's on commando!

Aww it hurts! Make it stop plz!!

Here we have little Claudia! Let's hope she takes better care of the child than herself.

Nothing interested happened, so birthday time!

She seems cute, and not crazy at all.

Hermia decides to die while Beatrice is at work and unable to plead. Well, it's not like it worked the first four times.

And yet again, time for a birthday. Beatrice managed to teach her all of her toddler stuff (walking, talking, potty)

So cute!

Meanwhile, Miranda has made a new friend...

And since I don't have any hacks to prevent social services, Beatrice has to help Claudia with her homework every single day.

They all love the kid. Even Miranda does something else that pretending to be a couch potato.

And smart too... She just noticed the rain! (It rained for like a whole simday, and when it was over, she noticed it) Not too bright obviously.

She does bring home some friends which should make it easier to gets promotions, except that this one is Desdemona Capp and related, so she doesn't count.

Kent randomly attacks ~~Angela~~ Juliette.

And Miranda has finally cracked!

She completely snapped and nothing ever happened because she didn't do anything. Never! At all!

Claudia grew up again, in the bathroom where else... She turned out pretty I think. I've seen kids of Juliette and Romeo that weren't this lucky.

Juliette needs a drink now that she has a teenaged daughter.

Claudia and Miranda are having a pillow fight. Good old Claudia must have known Miranda was having some issues.

Ain't she cute??

Hell freezes over! ~~Angela~~ Juliette making dinner!

Just in time before Beatrice fulfilled her LTW. Doesn't this look like the face of a winner to you?

So... my score. I think I did pretty bad... Never did one before so I have no idea what the average is. I removed all skills and freinds before starting the challenge.I also forgot to take away beds and chairs after every death. I didn't count Claudia's skills in with the totals since she wasn't a patient.

+20 for not using influence (yay me!)
+11 Juliette's skills (she actually had 6 for cooking and never entered the kitchen!)
+11 Miranda's skills (I never saw her do anything so I have no idea where she got them)
+20 Juliette and Miranda's aspiration score (12.250+7.500)
+13 amount of household friends (all made by Beatrice)

Now, the bad stuff...

- 26 spend 26 days in the asylum
-100 (20 x 5deaths)

So, that makes a 100 + 85 - 126 = 59 points!

I don't think it's good. But I finished it and I won!!

Veronaville Asylum Part 2

2008-12-13T23:00:49Z

It occured to me that we haven't seen much of Benedick yet. That's because he's always skilling and never gets into trouble. Painting, watching the yummy channel,... he's going to get me some great points!

He really should take care of himself better though. Sleeping all smelly in the gym isn't good.

And yet another round of Mercutio VS Tybalt! Mercutio won again.

All of a sudden Kent Capp shows up and decides to randomly pick on Mercutio! (Not so randomly, since Mercutio was using the telescope and Kent shows up every time, but hey)

So Mercutio decides to cry a little bit.

Where are the girls all this time you ask? Well, here's Miranda doing nothing, completely nothing:

And here are Juliette and Hermia, bonding over a nice not selfmade dinner.

Hermia doesn't look happy anymore does she?

My,my, what have we here? I mean! Tybalt is dying!!! Someone help him please! Oh, the points!!!

I got Beatrice to plead for him, I didn't know she could since they're not friends, but she could.

So Grimmie played a little game with her...

And she lost!!! RIP Tybalt. Mercutio will miss his living punchbag.

Hermia went totally ballistic after this one.

She stayed like this for forever. I almost thought the lot was glitched.

Oh you warm fuzzy thing. I call you Baggy and you will be mine. We will always be together.

Not for that long, mommy's got to bring in the dough too sometimes. Got anything yet there Hermia?

I'm not sure why he's crying. Because his lover is totally insane? Because he misses his punchingbag? Or because he still isn't over Kent's lecture?

No fireworks in the house you crazy people!

And this is all Juliette does when she's hungry. She doesn't make a meal, she doesn't take out cookies, no she just stares...

Great way to thank a person pleading for your life Tybalt! Luckily, Beatrice rolled knowledge, so she was excited to see his ghost.

Nooo, not Benedick! I loved that guy!!!

I tried to get Beatrice there on time, but she was fast asleep and didn't seem to care her brother was dying.

Too late, he already took his soul. Stop smiling like an idiot or I'll make you pay with another challenge!

Meanwhile...

BUMP?!?

Oh my God, the idiot is pregnant.

I swear, the women is this house are complete morons. They don't use toilets, showers or ever make any food for themselves or anyone. Where is Mercutio when you need him?

Beatrice lectures Hermia on that fact.

While doing that, she completely didn't notice her brother scaring poor Romeo...

... to death.

And only 20 sim-minutes later, Mercutio hits the floor too.

Beatrice tries and fails. These are epic fails!!! My points!!!

As a result from all this dying, Angela gets a mental breakdown.

Where you ask? In the bathroom of course. I'm surprised that so far, none of them has died in there.

You can say what you want, but women seem to be the stronger ones in here.

Veronaville Asylum Part 1

2008-12-13T20:54:03Z

Things started out great! As you can see, the two 'leaders' of the different clans have already found each other.

The girls were terrified to see such anger and hatred. Yet, too stupid to interfere before anyone got hurt.

And yes, someone did got hurt. Mercutio got his ass kicked by Tybalt for the first time. Why is Miranda crying? Her team won!

Meanwhile...

Our two famous lovebirds have found each other too and they don't waste any time.

Keep that disgusting brother of yours away from me sister or else...!

You might have one a battle, but not the war! Bring it on Capp! (Doesn't he look soo much like Sayid from Lost here?)

Must.Cry.Now.Xzme plz

Benedick doesn't get involved at all. He started painting upon arriving, and he kept on doing it during all the fuss.

Beatrice decides to do some cooking, so all these idiots don't starve to death. As you can see through the window, the boys are still at it.

Didn't last for long because Mercutio noticed the lovely Hermia and decides to shower her with his attention. She seems unaware of what's going on.

None the less, she seems to enjoy it.

Meanwhile, I let Beatrice search for a job. Her LTW is to become a World Class Ballet Dancer, so she better starts working if she ever wants to get out of here.It didn't show up before wednesday.

No job doesn't mean you can slack Bea. Get those skills already!

I'm sorry, there's no more room for any more freaks/lunatics/nutjobs. I suggest you head over to a plastic surgeon first.

Mercutio seems to be the only one who is capable of making himself a meal.

Bea decides to chat with him. She has two bolts with him, so she might be hoping for something more.

Too bad, Hermia got to him first. I just love ACR.

Juliette decides to randomly burst into tears. Nothing has happened as far as I know. She really is a nutjob.

And these two fruitcakes need to use the bathroom, but instead of going there, they just stand there with stupid smiles on their faces.

And then when they decide to actually go to the bathroom, they all decide together that they must use the toilet now. Why I give these sims pretty livingrooms is beyond me actually, they always do everything in bathrooms.

But wait. Where's Tybalt?

Good boy, racking up on some skillpoints for me. And he found a star good for 500§!

Not for long. Mercutio still has his anger issues. Mercutio won this round too.

Then Romeo decides to join in and help his brother. Juliette seems to think her bf is so cool.

Would have been cooler if he was around when this happened...

Or this.... Way to go Mercutio, kicking some innocent girl's butt! That has got to hurt!

I fail. At fighting Mercutio. At protecting my sisters. At life. I only have misery in my life.

More will follow soon ;)

Veronaville Asylum - Introduction

2008-12-13T19:33:10Z

Okay, so I'm a little late with this (about two weeks), but hey, better late than never right? I've been a lurker at Maxis-Taste since the beginning, and I wanted to participate in all the dares, but there were too many buts. I finally had some time to do one, and I started with the Veronaville Asylum. It has been a blast!

First up, we have Juliette Capp. Poor Juliette was driven crazy by her grandfather and all of his marriage candidates for her. She just wants to be left alone now.

Then, we have her sister, Hermia. Her grandfather has send her here mainly to watch over her sister, but she has some personality disorders herself. (And with that, we mean multiple).

Next one of the Capp family is Miranda. Former nobody of Veronaville High, she still longs to be popular. She wanted so much plastic surgery that she has to prove her sanity now. Although we can't blame her for wanting that chin gone.

Last Capp for today is Tybalt. He was also send by his grandfather, but only because poor Consort didn't feel safe alone with him. He feared for his life with no witnesses around.

Then there's the Monty's. Mercutio is here because of his general angerness. He fights with anything, and as an heir of the Monty fortune, he needs to be re-educated.

Romeo. After he told his grandparents he would kill himself if he couldn't marry Juliette, they decided to send him here, hoping he would forget all about her.

Benedick has no real issues, besides wanting to be the best in everything. After he lost a Myshuno game to his sister, he admitted himself.

And lastly, there's Beatrice. Beatrice will take care of the other patients, just to prove that she's ready for the outside world again. After declining a marriage, her grandparents were desperate, and want her to have a hard time so she will come crawling back and accepts the marriage after all.

Beatrice Monty will be my playable character for this challenge. Let's hope she's worthy of my trust.

Clearllama Asylum has everything your average ~~nutjob~~ patient needs! It's deserted, situated in the desert and no other living soul has been seen in miles. The weather is always nice at Clearwater Asylum!

Our asylum offers a large livingroom, where all of our ~~nutjobs~~ patients can socialize with each other. There's a large selection of books available and there's cable-tv!

The kitchen is clean, sleek and full of modern comfort. It's made to made you cook, so what are you waiting for? There are no sprinklers or fire-alarms on this lot, we are not responsible for any accidents.

There are two bedrooms in the institution. One with a kingsize bed (for the ones who think they're Napoleon), and one with three beds (so our patients are never alone, not even at night).

Our garden/relaxation area is not what you'd expect in the desert, but hey, it's all plastic anyways. It is proven that people get calmer when they see some pretty flowers.

Lastly, here's an overview. Not any ~~nutcase~~ person could make such a logical building, but the important thing is that our patients never forget how they get to the bathroom.

So, that includes the tour of the asylum and the introduction of our patients. Update on how it all went will follow shortly ;)

Welcome

2008-12-13T15:20:01Z

Hi y'all and welcome to my blog. I am a true simsfreak so that's about the only thing you'll find here. If you don't like sims, this is not the place for you.
Now, since I'm fairly unknown in the community (and I don't really mind that), maybe I should say a bit about myself. My real name is Jessica, I'm 26 and I live in Belgium. I have two sons, Sam and Ethan, hence my username. I love playing TS2 (obviously) , going to the gym with my friends and sing until my own head is about to explode. I'm unemployed at the moment, in fact, I'm going back to school in january (never got a high school diploma), so I'm hoping to improve my English since it will be a very important part of my classes. I love to write, and I love playing the sims, so I thought I could maybe combine the two. I have to warn you guys, I can't write anything decent in English :p.
What else? Hmm, I'm one of those persons we all (including me) hate. I start ten things at a time and never finish one of them. So if I don't write here for a couple of weeks I'm probably just doing one of the other ten things. But then I will be back. I'll always come back to my sims.
