Round 1: Kat (Season 1: Fall)

Kat Household: 

Tara Kat: Family/Popularity  |  LTW: Marry Off 6 Children  |  First Wishes: Be Friends with Samantha (cat), Be Friends with Mickey (cat), Meet Someone New, Flirt  |  First Fulfilled: Be Friends with Samantha

---------------------------------------------------------------

So I played this round a really long time ago and never realized that I hadn't blogged it.  I'm excited because it means I have a blog post to share after far too long, but I'm going to be kind of winging in in regards to what happened.  Hopefully between my notes and pictures I can work it out. :)

Tara is a sim with 3 cats, Mickey, Samantha, and Faline.  Since she wished to be friends with both Mickey and Samantha she started by interacting with the cats.  I believe this is Samantha, who she had the highest relationship with and became friends with easily.

As always happens with a "new" household someone invited Tara to go on an outing.  Since in Megalahood we ALWAYS except these offers she went downtown at the invitation of John Mole.  There were many other people there including our last house, Nathasha Una.

The ladies of the group went straight to the poker table and started getting to know each other.  They were having a good time, but Tara didn't stay too long.  She was tired after a long day of become friends with her cats.

Before leaving for home, however, Tara ran into Cyd Roseland, who we will be playing much later in the round.  He is also an animal lover, owning a dog I believe.  They talk for a bit and then Tara heads home.

The next day Tara had people over, including Cyd and they got to know each other better.  She does want to marry off 6 kids, so she's going to need a husband, or lots of money to adopt them all.

Ah, yes, there, that's Cyd's dog.  Tara did invite them both over so she could meet the dog and try and flirt a little with Cyd.

I am about 98% sure she wished for the flirt with Cyd and I happily accepted.  He's from the neighborhood....sort of, and it would help shrink the massive Megalahood at least a little.

The flirt worked and we had a crush on Cyd's end.  I cannot for the life of me remember if she felt the same yet, or if they were just getting high up in the relationship points.

Tara then met Jill Fleig who proposed a blind date.  Things were going decent with Cyd, but Tara can't wait too long to make a move and other than flirting hasn't really wanted much more to do with him so we gave it a shot.

A townie....of course, fell from the sky.  My notes say this is Jason Vu.

Things went well on the date and Tara had a wish to kiss Jason.  He is a 3-bolt match and as every simmer knows those are VERY hard to pass up.  However, after the kiss she didn't wish to have any other romantic interactions with him.

Cyd came back into her life, although no serious relationship wishes for him either.  I'm hoping when we get to his house he might wish a little more for her and possibly have this happen.  This house is crazy small anyway so I wouldn't mind her moving.

Tara started throwing a lot of popularity sim type wishes and wanted to throw parties.  She is getting to be friends with many of the residents of Megalahood and has pretty good parties.

One of the kittens grew up....I THINK this is Faline, but I could be wrong.  It's a pretty kitty either way.

Tara's popularity sim wishes continued with constant wishes to meet someone new, so we spent a lot of time greeting people and going to community lots.

At some point she wished to study Anger Management, it looks like, so I let her.  I'm not sure if she's expecting to be angry in the future, or what but I thought it was sort of interesting.  I don't think any is mad at her, or that she is mad at anyone else.

Back to meeting new people most simmers will recognize this passer-by who Tara ran out to greet.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Summary:

Tara: Mostly had pop sim type wishes.  Meet new people, be bf's, be bff's, throw parties.  She did have the two guys she was interacting with, but other than wishing for the kiss with Jason hasn't wished for anything further with either Jason or Cyd.  We'll just have to see what happens when we get to Cyd's house, or what the next round brings.

Ending Wishes: Have a Good Reputation, Be BFF with Cynthia (Kim), Be BFF with Natasha (Una), Have 5 Best Friends

Overall Tara was very successful at her wishes this round.  The first day was a little hard because she didn't know enough people, or have high enough relationships with the cats to make wishes easy to reach.  After that first day though things went much better.

Time Off

Hello all,

I wanted to post a quick message here and I am still alive and am still playing Sims 2.  I had taken a bit of a break from the game for awhile, and then with all of the holiday stuff didn't have a lot of time to devote.  Right after the holidays my very faithful laptop, where I do all my playing, decided it was time for it to die.

I now have a new laptop and was very apprehensive about trying to get Sims 2 to work on it.  I went through and installed the base game and it started up without a problem.  So I decided to try and install it all and see how it went.  Everything is now set up and seems to be running correctly.  I will probably play a couple things in a non-set up and loved neighborhood just to make sure nothing breaks, but so far it looks like I might be able to get back to playing and blogging soon.

Stay tuned!

Round 1: Una (Season 1: Fall)

Una Household: 

Natasha Una: Grilled Cheese/Pleasure  |  LTW: Eat 200 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches  |  First Wishes: Influence Someone to Make Grilled Cheese, Serve Grilled Cheese, Make Grilled Cheese for Sim, Talk to Sim About Grilled Cheese  |  First Fulfilled: Serve Grilled Cheese

---------------------------------------------------------------

I have never tried to play a full grilled cheese sim before.  There are lots of secondary grilled cheese sims popping up in Megalahood so far, but Natasha is for the cheese and almost nothing but the cheese.  She serves many portions of grilled cheese the first day to help with wants.  It gives her lots of leftovers.

The trick with Grilled Cheese sims it to find them people they can talk about it with.  Natasha really wanted to talk to someone so she went into town and discovered that it's harder than she thought, but tried to talk about other things too.

She really lucked out right after that, however, by discovering that John Burb is willing to talk about Grilled Cheese.  This is great, especially if his wife becomes that secondarily.

After her trip into town she comes home and the welcome wagon shows up.  This makes her very happy because she can pull out those leftovers and feed grilled cheese to others.

Later on that day, as is becoming expected that first day, a call comes in inviting Natasha downtown.  The call comes from her...cousin I think, Luis Aspir.  So she goes and the other Aspir's are there as well.

They have a good time at the lounge and play quite a bit of poker with other patrons.  Most of the family left once the outing got there for some reason.

Natasha could lead a very lonely life is allowed.  Her wish to talk to someone about grilled cheese keeps her greeting those who pass by, hoping to find more people to share her cheese love.

In this way we discover that townie Christy Toyonaga is willing to talk the cheese.

Also Mary Gavigan is too.  This is very good news for Natasha since she is gaining a large pool of potential friends who can talk with her about her passion.

The more she greets people walking by the more she learns of people willing to talk grilled cheese.  Here Jason Vu is willing....

As is Oberon Gossamar, which is a very good thing since he also has a partner who may become partially grilled cheese inclined.

All these guys made it very easy to reach wishes for Natasha each day.  She would serve grilled cheese, eat grilled cheese, talk about grilled cheese, and make them for other people every day.  It also gave other members of the hood time to get to know each other.

Then, one morning she woke up to wish for non-grilled cheese items.  Her pleasure secondary must have finally kicked in, or maybe it was her hobby.  Either way, I locked in some wishes and got to work.  Each more after that she woke up to want 2 grilled cheese wishes (talk and each usually) and two non-grilled cheese....always make pottery and talk about hobby.

After the fun morning of making art, the grilled cheese desires would return and we are back to meeting people.  I really wanted to find her a 2 or 3 bolt match, but none of the guys she was meeting met that.

However, she enjoyed her friends, and seemed happy with her life.

That is until we greet a guy in a red shirt walking passed the house....and he was willing to talk Grilled Cheese.

Chester Gieke talks grilled cheese, and is two bolts hot to Natasha.  I don't hold out many hopes that her wishes will spin to being serious with Chester, but Chester's might.  She did, however, want all grilled cheese things with him.  Talk to him, serve him, make him grilled cheese.  Although, she seemed slightly conflicted.

After that day it was mostly rinse and repeat the morning.  Get up, make pottery, eat grilled cheese and then great people or call people to come over and talk about hobbies and grilled cheese.

Typically it was Chester...who was willing to come over on the first invite, even though they were not yet friends.

Maybe Chester sensed something, or maybe it was just really good luck for Natasha, but Chester made his feelings for her known quiet quickly, to both her and myself.

They chatted about his home downtown....where he will be the last sim we play before uni.

Totally on their own, not from wishes or my control, Chester and Natasha gain a crush on each other.  Knowing it probably wouldn't, I hoped Natasha would wish for him....and she did, but only to make him grilled cheese.

Luis and been in the house and seen the kiss.  He talked with Chester about it, right in front of Natasha.

The young couple didn't really let Luis stop them though.  Their friendship/relationship was growing very strong by now and none of it was me.  I don't even have ACR installed in this hood.

Now, Natasha has a thing for werewolves. Chester is about as far from a werewolf as you can get, but he's also a knowledge sim, if I remember correctly.  So Natasha was happy to greet the wolf with glowing eyes when he stopped by.

Just as she had hoped, Chester went to greet him as well and they spent a little time together.

Natasha still goes out and greet those who pass by her house to give her people to feed grilled cheese too.

Chester is invited over almost everyday....so she can make him a grilled cheese.  I really should have just invited him to move in, I don't want to lose her house.

The very pregnant Tammy DeBateau came by.  She's not really interested in talking grilled cheese, but she was willing eat them, and talk about other things.

The relationship between Natasha and Chester just grows, and they do most of it all on their own.

 Next Natasha meets Vivian Riley she's also not very interested in grilled cheese, but she did want to meet people, so now is the perfect chance.

Vivian is NOT good at the piano, but that doesn't stop Tammy from dancing her heart out.  Most of the other guests had left the room.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Summary:

Natasha: Natasha is an extremely easy sim to keep happy, as long as she has some people who will talk grilled cheese, and eat grilled cheese.  I was surprised and happy by the developments between her and Chester.  I really hope that he will move in here, since I like Natasha's house.  As she was starting to feel a bit boring her hobby wishes kicked in and made it just enough different to keep my interest.  This round Natasha ate 14 grilled cheese.

Ending Wishes: Influence Someone to Make Grilled Cheese, Eat Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Talk about Hobby (Locked), Make Pottery

The table isn't even worth it hardly, because she reached 5 wishes every single day, usually before noon.
