The first 10 simdays there was a new Sim in Spot every other day. For the last 10 simdays, we will follow Super Sim closely every day, and much attention will regard his or her whims and wishes from the end of morning meeting at 10 AM to dinner at 7 PM. Meanwhile the others will be directed to perform their chores, but after that they can do whatever they like.
9 AM - Morning meeting
Super Sim Fabian leads the morning meeting from the green Super Sim chair, placed at table end. He is a bit tired, but this meeting is a pretty easy one.
Today's Loser is Fiona. She is holding the Loser record, sitting on the red chair more often than any of the others.
Super Sim has no purchase wishes, and Accountant Ochana is satisfied that the common account is steadily growing. There has been delivered no more bills, but she fears that the next bills will be more than §4000 and by then the 8 contestants will need to convert points into money. It might be tough on those ranking last, with less points.
Fabian reminds Toby, who has the Painter chore, that another painting must be delivered to decorate a common room before lunch. All dino stencils in the house shall by time be replaced with paintings.
- Sure! And I even think it will be a painting for this room!
Ochana is in a rather poor mood, it seems. She thinks Toby's the paintings are quite bad, actually. She loves to criticize art, and she enjoyed very much when the group visited the town Museum some days ago.
- Could we have something a tad more modern, Toby?
Today's schedule:
10 AM Chores & Skills
12 AM Toby delivers one more common room painting
1 PM Lunch
7 PM Dinner
8 PM Cupcake Contest (points to grab/lose, more info at start)
11 PM Moods & Scores
10 AM - Chores & Skills
This session has been focusing more on doing their chores than building skills, lately. But some chores do automatically build skills, and I have also observed some contestants grabbing a skill book to read up, during free will sessions. I don't think that ever happened in previous TS games.
Super Sim Fabian runs outside to dig up something. This is Super Sim's chance to grab some extra points. He finds one broken fossil, he is sad, maybe that's why it broke?
Ona's chore is Repairman, and she has become pretty well skilled in Handiness. Sissela has finally broken the code to catch fish. Although it's nothing like catching lots of them, she enjoys it a bit more when there is something to catch.
Otto is perhaps the most bored during this session. His chore is Party Fixer, and most days he tends their library bar, but because most of the others are busy with their chores, there is nothing to do at the bar. Only every 3rd day there is a house party.
Today Ona needs to fix the TV, and well - there is also a risk involved when repairing such electronics.
Ona did just fine, though. TV works again!
Fabian's great wish is to cook a group meal. So he decides on spaghetti. It can be served for lunch, and will even be good as reminders in the fridge for later. In TS4 food lasts longer, and it's very easy to see how long a serving, old or new, will last.
So, Fabian cooks...
It's always interesting to watch a sim cooking, and because Fabian is pretty well skilled, I assume the risk is smaller for the stove to catch fire.
Then Otto and Tony enters the kitchen...
It must be boring to see that the others prefer to cook their own food, rather than eat Fabian's freshly made spaghetti.
Toby even forgets his toast on the stove, and starts talking instead. Someone saved the toast from catching fire though, can't remember who.
Because the conversations are so much better in TS4, a kitchen is a social AND dangerous room.
Fabian moved on to do his chore; tending the kitchen garden.
While Fabian tends the kitchen garden, Fiona tends the full garden. It's lots of work, so lately she got assistance from both Quatore, Ochana and Fabian.
Right now Loser Fiona is sad, and she waters the wild rose bush with her tears... ;) The plant loved it, but it's hard to tell whether it has any other effect than being a bit quirky...
Next is the release of a new painting for the dining room. Ochana leaves the room when she sees the painting, while Sisela admires the work. Could it be that Tony actually tried to portray Sissela? I believe that Sissela thinks so.
Lunch was not spaghetti after all. Fabian had another meal cooking whim, so he served fish tacos.
Then some gather outside in the garden, probably discussing the harvests. There's only 6 simdays left of the Show, so there is no time to rearrange the plants, or to grow other plants. But improving the quality should raise their common income a little.
Fabian has an unpleasant conversation with Quatore, and Fabian gets quite annoyed.
Sometimes I wish I understood exactly what they say :)
8 PM - Cupcake Contest
A new event is coming up! The concept is easy - Super Sim serves 7 cupcakes in the library, then calls all the others to eat, and because they are 8, one will not get any cupcake. The unlucky one will need to hand over 200 points/simoleons to their common account. And, this event is of course on free will, after everyone were called to the meal.
They all gathers in the main hall, just outside the library.
- Yay, cupcakes are served! Come grab a piece!
The group marches into the library, and one by one they grab a cake, and finds a seat.
They never had cupcakes served before. It takes a special cupcake machine - that would be cool if it was a bit less industrial. It's huge, and might be had to squeeze into any regular kitchen. Might make for a way to run a home business though, like a new profession.
Ona got her cupcake, so did of course Fabian too, and Ochana back there... Together with Quatore and Toby, these are the top ranked contestants at the moment.
Sissela is ranked last, but got her cake... but Otto! You got nothing?
- I don't want a silly cupcake!
Otto got no cake and lose 200 points! The 200 points are converted into 200 Simoleons to be added to their common account.
11 PM - Moods & Scores
It's time to check those plumbobs again! Several of them are green tonight, but Ona has the healthiest one, with Toby runner up. So, Ona will be tomorrow's Super Sim!
- So you had a great day?
- I did? Well, I fixed the TV.
- And now you hope to win this place?
- Of course! I'm ambitious to become number one, you know ;)
There are no red plumbob tonight, but both Fiona and Ochana are orange. Fiona has the worst of those two, and is the "new" Loser. Again! So, Fiona, unless you fulfill the midnight challenge within 60 minutes, you will hand over 200 points to Ona! Again, Fiona's number is 5 and today is day 14, so the number is 5+14=19. This gives challenge number 19-9-9=1.
1. Clean the house's ground floor! All dirty plates&cups/glasses, dirty bathroom facilities, dirty floors and dirty counters must be clean to complete this task.
Funny enogh, Ona, who won't get those 200 points from Fiona if she manages to clean the 1st floor, started to help cleaning...
But there is a challenge in the kitchen! The sink is broken, and no matter how hard Fiona mopped the floor, more water occurred.
So, there was no way to fulfill this challenge, and Fiona has to hand over 200 points to Ona!
