Sims by Numbers - Report day 7 - Romance

The day starts early, like seems to be the norm here at the Sims by Numbers house. Sissela and Toby clean and prepare food, while Ona just sits there talking. Toby was the Super Sim yesterday, but will need to remove that green hat today...


Not sure what they discuss, or - well, it is mainly Ona who does the talking, while Toby is rather tense.


Toby leaves the kitchen without even completing the meal, and even if he is hungry. Now he cleans the bath tub instead. The 2 best bedrooms both have a 4x2 bathroom, while the two low standard bedrooms have only 2x2 bathrooms, and not tubs but showers.


9 AM - Morning meeting
There's quite some chaos in the house this morning! The note for the manager includes some major changes to their morning meeting routine! The Manager chore is no longer valid, and Quatore's new chore is Cleaner!

Everyone except Quatore applauds, because the house is quite dirty already.


Also new is that the white Manager chair is removed, so is the blue Accountant chair. The Super Sim will manage the meetings and only the Super Sim and the Loser will have their coloured chairs positioned on table ends. Today Quatore is the Loser in the red chair, kind of rubbing salt into his social wounds.


So, Fiona is to lead this meeting, and knowing all 8 have a chore already, today's meeting will probably be piece of cake. Today is Romance Day, and Sim in Spot day, but first Super Sim will claim her benefits!

Fiona is to choose the next skill book, the 7th of 8. She wants to skill up on cooking, and picks the book "Gourmet cooking Vol 1: Make Food Fancy". She has no other purchase wishes, and Ochana notes that §75 is spent. The common account is now only §5!

Fiona ranks first all day, thanks to her Super Sim title, and right after the meeting she will be allowed to go outside to dig up something.


Next up is Sim in Spot! Today is Romance Day, and Sim in Spot will spend 3 hours at Gloom Garden flirting with someone, then eat at any pubblic lot (2 hours), and finally flirt with someone in the Museum garden (3 hours). Mission will be to return with a romantic relation somehow! Succeeding means digging up one thing, and failure means paying 200 points to the common account!

Now, who wants to benefit from this Romance Day?


Fiona herself, is not that much of a romantic person, so she easily passes this on.


Ochana is a Romance sim searching a soulmate, and she definitely grabs this chance to have a meaningful day out there, and without the rest of this group observing all her moves. Ochana eagerly accepts the Sim in Spot challenge!


10 AM - Chores and Skills
Fiona runs outside to dig up her something...


She finds a purple stone, Utranium, worth §65.

But now, we should rather follow Ochana on her travel to Gloom Garden!


10 AM - Sim in Spot - Romance


Ochana arrives the Gloom Garden, she looks a tad tired, but all her needs except hunger are in the green, more or less.


So, she needs to flirt with someone, and she really will enjoy just that! The guy over there, he looks okay'ish, doesn't he? some artist? He is the only man that Ochana can spot, so she sits down to join the game.


He seems quite depressed, and he seems kinda slow and bored when he talks. Ochana can't really see herself flirting a lot with this guy. At least not while he doesn't seem interested...


And, yah, he left and Ochana has to decide quickly whether she shall follow him or let him go... She follows!


And lookie! Who's standing over there? Isn't that Kyle Baxter from the Museum yesterday?


Yes it is, and Kyle obviously remembers Ochana. They get into a good session... Ochana doesn't jump right on the flirty side, but at least she gets to know that Kyle is single.


- Single and searching, that's me!


They sit down on a garden bench, and Ochana does all her flirting tricks. Kyle seems to like it!


Making a move... Ochana moves fast, and I think she sees this as more than just being Sim in Spot.


But then Kyle prefers texting, and Ochana feels a bit ignored. Kyle leaves, and she didn't even get his number!

She already skipped the scheduled lunch, so she runs over to the bbq area of the park to eat some burger. Then she hurries to town, and enters the Museum garden.


She meets a man named Josue Egan. He is very different from Kyle, much harder to talk to. The boy is called Hugo Bootwig, and shortly ran away forgetting his homework book.


Right! Ochana tried some easy flirting, after learning that Josue is single. But he gets offended when she tells him she likes his shirt, and their talk leads nowhere. So, Ochana decides to return back to the Sims by Numbers house.

Her mission is approved fulfilled, and she digs up a fossil worth only §15. Bad turn out!

The others are all busy with something.


Quatore cleans some water off the kitchen floor. And the fridge is broken again! Ona will need to work hard tomorrow!


Because the huge entertainment thing upstairs is broken, too! This one seems like a risky thing to fix, doesn't it?


11 PM - Moods and Scores
There's only one green plumbob in the house today, it belongs to Questore. So, it looks like he will lead the morning meeting again tomorrow! With some luck he might even get 200 points from the new Loser.


- You again, congratulations!

- And you again, thanks!

- Do you miss the white Manager chair?

- Of course I do. A bucket with water and soap is a poor substitute...


Worst plumbob right now is Fiona - one day a Super Sim, the next a Loser... She needs to hand over 200 points to Super Sim Quatore unless she completes the midnight challenge within 60 minutes! Her number is 5 ann it's day 7, so she will try challenge number 5+7=12.  Because there are just 9 alternative challenges, she gets number 12-9=3.
3. Walk outside in the street and hug someone!

Oh... this might be a tough call, especially this time of day, needing to use a toilet, and with a bright red plumbob in mind. But Fiona is insane, so maybe that will help :) Go hug them, Fiona!


Here comes Dawn Moore! Fiona newer saw this woman before, but there's no time for being picky! Talking, deep conversation. Gossips. Hug! Yay, it worked, and Dawn Moore did not run away!

Sorry Quatore, no points coming your way from Fiona!

NB: If anyone like to suggest some new midnight challenges, they are listed in the Sims by Numbers Show thread over at the official TS4 forum. Sorry for not being able to direct you to the exact post, but you'll find it a bit down on that thread's page one.
