Sissela is a tad bored, playing with the VR game upstairs, while most of the others are still asleep.
- Hey, it's 3 AM already, why do they always sleep?
Maybe in order to be fit for a challenging day, Sissela...
Few hours later, Toby is trying to cook himself some breakfast...
He had to work hard, but at least he got himself some food. After 15 days, Toby, you should know how to frie your egg!
9 AM - Morning meeting
So, Ona is Super Sim for the 2nd day in a row, and she is very eager to read today's note for the group. Every morning a new envelope is secretly delivered to the house, and this far it contained instructions for one day at the time. Today there is an exception as the show has only 5 more days! Today's note gives some info on the next days, too...
And Ona tries to explain what the note says.
- Oh, I hope I get this all right...
Today there will be a group outing, and it turns out that Super Sim wil throw a party at someone else's house! Well, who do Ona know... she actually has a lovebirds connection, but she doesn't know where Josue Egan lives. Ona has met Brenda Kammin earlier, she resides here at Willow Field hood at Zilla Brox' little red house. Party starts at 7 PM and Chef Fabian will bring food that he will prepare during the day. Our Party Fixer Otto will control any music advices at the party if needed, and tend the bar if there is any.
The note also informs about some special events a few days ahead.
On day 18, each contestant will be asked to empty their pockets. Some carry around heavy values that might change their score radically once sold, and all contestants should know that anything sold after the morning meeting on day 18 will give the owner only 50% of the value. The other 50% will go to the common account. This rule affects the last 3 days, and will reduce the chance of a shock score to be added in the very last minute of the show.
On day 19 there will be a count of "Reward points". All those points will be converted into ordinary points. Today those points span from 350 to 800, so it's expected that the net effect will be up to 400 points earned! Being a Super Sim should affect this positively, because whims are fulfilled, but all contestants will benefit from it, somehow!
On day 20 there will be a gift session where each contestant must give 100 points to one of the other contestants. The gifting will be anonymous, and will take place during the morning meeting. Being popular with the others will of course help, because most contestants are expected to honor their best contact in the house.
In addition to this there will be minimum one way to earn extra points every single day!
Now for Super Sim's purchase wants. Ona wants to play in a poodle, chat with Toby and *buy a treadmill*! But ack, the accepted cost is maximum §100 and a treadmill is way too expensive.
Now it's Ochana's turn to inform them all about the newly delivered bills!
Yesterday bills were delivered! There is not enough money on the common account to cover these bills, meaning each of the 8 contestants must transfer some points into money (1:1). The bills are §4.143, and the common account holds §1805. Each contestant must contribute with 300 points!
When bills are paid there are §62 left on the common account. Hopefully there will be no more bills during the project. After this the lowest score (Sissela) is only 206 points.
Sissela is relieved.
- Phew, I survived!
- Rrrrrrrrr, smexy survivor! Now, will you hand me 100 points on day 20?
Otto is a romantic guy, but I'm not sure this is the time and place for such flirting...
Today's schedule:
10 AM - Chores & Skills
1 PM - BBQ at public area of Upperton hood. Points to win and lose!
6 PM - One more painting gifted by Painter Toby
7 PM - Party at someone's house, thrown by Super Sim. Points to win and lose!
11 PM - Moods & Scores
Meeting ended.
10 AM - Chores & Skills
Every day there are chores to handle. Ona is the repairman, so she needs to repair any broken facilities. But first she must take advantage of her Super Sim right, digging up something outside. She finds a something...
It's a Mysterious Time Capsule worth 70 points. She heard that many capsules contain a doll worth only 35 points, so this time she decides to keep the capsule, unopened, and earns herself 70 points.
Ochana pays their bills, and Sissela heads for the fishing spot at the nearby channel.
The others are busy with their chores, and Ona checks all bathrooms and kitchen, but today nothing is broken!
Now she wants to chat with Ochana.
They discuss the latest games, but Ochana seems rather tense, and I'm not sure if their little chat added to their relation. They are roommates, and had a good relation for a long time.
In the kitchen Fabian is busy preparing some food for tonight's party. There will be some snacks, and a cake. He will bring it all to the house where Ona decides to throw the party.
Ona wants to research workout tips, so she uses the only computer in the house, located in the Library. It's pretty busy today, and Otto, bartender and Party Fixer, didn't even have a chance to get dressed. He is a bit disappointed that he - the Party Fixer - will not throw the party, but Ona - the repairman - will.
That said, the regular party will be tomorrow, so Otto will probably get some challenges then.
1 PM - BBQ at Upperton hood
It's time for lunch at the public park of Upperton hood. This is the better corner of Gloomville, where the rich and wealthy reside. The group already visited the Crumpletons (house back there). The house nearest the park is the Bootwigs, and across the street lives the von Kaching family.
There are points up for grab/lose:
300 points - first to talk to a local
200 points - first to communicate with a child
-200 points - first to grab a serving
-400 points - first to fall a sleep
The park is mostly a playground, and it's called Upper Fair.
Ona runs off to grill some food...
While most of them still hang at the gate.
Oh no, Sissela falls asleep on the bench! It costs her 400 points, and unless she earns some points during the day, she will have a very negative score at tomorrow's meeting!
And Ona, grilling all that food, it's not a surprise that you grab a dish! Oh oh, it costs you 200 points! It was hopefulle a tasteful meal...
Fiona runs off, leaving the Upper Fair behind, to grill at the bigger park area. Otto seems to follow her, but then they bot return to the group.
Then it's back home to inspect the new painting gifted by Painter Toby.
Toby needs to deliver one painting every second day. He can also sell one painting per day for points, but he needs to cover all costs from his point score. Most of his works cost §75 to start, a few §100.
Then it's time for the house party, and Ona finally decided to throw the party at Brenda Kammin's place across the street.
Ona invites 6 guests in addition to the Sims by Numbers group and Zilla+Brenda. They will be 16 total.
7 PM - House party at Brox house
Again there are some points involved:
300 points - first to dance
-200 points - fall asleep
-300 points - starting a fire
The Brox house is a small one, but Zilla and Brenda who live there, love t party, so it will work fine for a house party like this.
Surprisingly, food was already prepared, and the party started with everyone eating.
Daniella Wills (pale blue) & Selena Whittaker (green) joins Sissela and Toby. sissela has a bad feeling about her score, but has not checked the final sum yet. If she is the first to dance tonight, she will earn 300 points!
Fabian brought the cake and the snacks, but there is already food for everybody, so why did he spend the day cooking?
And, the dance begins...
It's Ona who is the first to dance! She earns herself 300 points!
The others join her, and next to her is her loveburd relation, Josue, dancing.
- Hello there... yes you...
But Josue doesn't really notice her... Their relation and romantic bar are both 1 third full, so I would expect them to at least interact, but well...
Toby had some fun with Brenda Kammin. He even learned one of her traits, Active.
Did the Active trait make him feel so Energized that he had to exercise on the dance floor?
Now it's getting pretty late, and some can't hold back much longer...
Ona falls asleep on the dance floor. She loses 200 points!
But she's not the only one...
Fabian who just stepped a side from the party, falls asleep too...
All in all it's a good party though. It ended unsuccessfully 1:15 AM, but at 11 PM we checked those plumbobs to find tomorrow's Super Sim and Loser...
11 PM - Moods & Scores
So, we'll just have a plumbob check and then allow the party to move on. There are just 2 green plumbobs tonight, Ochana and Quatore. It's very close, but I think Quatore is slightly greener. Quatore is tomorrow's Super Sim!
Quatore entered the little Super Sim room as soon as they returned back home.
- Congratulations! You must have enjoyed the party!
- Yes, I think I did! And I actually wanted to dance first, to grab those points, but I had to finish my meal first.
- You are back on top 3 - ae you still up for the fight?
- Yes, I sure am! I like this house! With a few changes, it will be a good place to live!
Now for the worst plumbob. Ona, Fabian and Sissela are all red tonight. And Ona wins the worst plumbob hands down! She will hand over 200 points to Super Sim Quatore unless she fulfills the midnight challenge within 60 minutes. Her number is 1 and this is day 16, giving the number 1+16=17. There are a total of 9 alternative challenges, so this gives that Ona must do challenge number 17-9=8.
8. Visit a neighbour and steal any harvest available (1 plant)
Oh, that's the same challenge as yesterday, but hey-ho, let's go!
Ona is already visiting a neighbour, but does Zilla Brox or Brenda Kammin grow anything harvestable?
No, Zilla Brox and Brenda Kammin are obviously not into gardening as much as they are into partying. So, Ona has no choice but rushing over to Willow Farm, their closest neighbour. The little farm still grows some Spinach, and Ona harvests a plant.
Sorry Super Sim Quatore, you won't get those 200 points from Loser Ona!
