Fiona is today's Super Sim, which means she will lead today's morning meeting, and she might even be the one telling Sissela to leave! Fiona and Sissela are roommates, and had a negative relation since the start.
Fiona announces that today is Music day! There will also be a Sim in Spot, meaning one of them can grab a challenge away from home.
But first we'll check on everyone's score, because last night sissela spent all her points, and can not stay in the house...
- But I found some snapdragon seeds in my pocket! Should it not be counted as points, somehow?
Sissela tells them how she picked some seeds from a plant just outside our lot, some days ago, and forgot to have the seeds registered.
- My fault, I know, but I bet some of you guys do keep old findings in your pocket, too?
Fiona has already got used to the thought of having their bedroom all to her own, but Ochana admits that even she, the Accountant, has some seeds in her pocket. She suggests that Sissela gets a second chance. With only 39 points she will need to work hard anyway. And from now on it will not be acceptd to claim points after you reached a negative score. Anyone in danger of doing so, should deliver all their findings ASAP.
Fiona is Super Sim, and will now benefit from the title. There's no more skill books to be purchased, but if Super Sim has a purchase wish costing maximum §100, it will be accepted. SuperSim will also dig up something after the morning meeting, and ranks first all day.
Fiona wants to hug someone, level up in cooking skill, and to become friends with Ona - none of those will involve purchasing something.
Ochana concludes that nothing was spent from their common account today, and informs them all that a total of §94 was earned thanks to yesterday's harvests. She doesn't mention it, but knows that when the bills of §4000+ must be paid in a couple days, several contestants might suffr, because the common account just doesn't meet the costs, and the harvests are simply not bringing in enough. They are facing financial problems indeed!
Today is Sim in Spot day, and Fiona reads what's written on the note she got delivered this morning. Sim in Spot will, on this Music Day, pick up the violin and then Play in the FUN-room for 3hrs. Then travel alone to the Museum, and play the violin on the pavement for 2 hours, then a break for 2 hours, and finally playing the violin at Captain Blue Nightclub for 3 hours. Return back home at 8 PM and perform for 1 hour at the House Party. Mission is to bring home collected values of minimum §100.
Now, who's interested?
Fiona is first, and although she knows that Toby is sitting right there with the biggest grin ever on his face, Fiona IS a music lover by trait, and she sees this as a welcome break from all the hard work she does in the garden every day. Fiona accepts this challenge!
Toby is naturally upset! He currently ranks 4th, and everyone in the house knows that this is the challenge he has been waiting for all time long!
Schedule for this day:
10 AM Chores & Skills
1 PM Lunch
7 PM Dinner
8 PM House Party starts
2 AM? Moods & Scores (right after the party)
10 AM Chores & Skills
Because it's Sim in Spot day, we'll mostly follow Fiona. She picks up the violin upstairs, thinks that Toby can keep painting something from this dino stencil.
Then she aims for the fun-room downstairs, to practise for some hours.
And it sounds horrible, and Ona shut the fun-room door.
Meanwhile Sissela is out fishing. She's got the boring Angler chore, and she just got one tiny fish. This fishing spot might be to ambitious to someone with low skills...but will there be time for her to spend days reading up on fishing?
In the library Otto tends the bar. Toby is still upset, and they have a talk. I was surprised to find Toby has picked up the blue Terese toy! But Toby is childish, and he can even talk to and hug the big teddy that Quatore bought yesterday! How cute will that be?
Sim in Spot - Fiona playing the violin
Fiona built just one skill point on the violin, before heading to town. Outside the Museum, she plays for hours, it's still quite awful and people just hurry by.
She can't really perform or play for money yet, hopefully that is possible on a higher skill level.
Then there is a 2 hours break, and Fiona knows she has to collect values for minimum §100. She never looked around here before, it's a huge public area facing a lake.
Some searching, and she finds a bright red gem worth §50.
Oh, and wild lillies and wild bluebells! Being the Gardener, she just has to harvest those, and even if she doesn't need any more to do in the garden, she will definitely plant one seed from each.
She is hungry, but luckily she had brought a glass of juice in her pocket for several days. Yummy!
Oups, she is supposed to perform at Captain Blue Nightclub in a few minutes!
The performance was no success. Neighbour Camilla Grossing from Willow Field pretends she likes Fiona's music, but only for a short while. A couple sat down next to Fiona, but to read their books...
8 PM - House Party
When Fiona returns to the Sims by Numbers house, the House Party is about to start.
She just got time to phone the Geological Center to ask them about the red crystal she found today.
- It's matching my plumbob, is that good or bad?
Otto is well prepared tending the bar, and they all are dressed in their party attire. Hm, Otto, why those boring clothes when you are a Party Fixer? Hm, okay, you were created by your number 8, that's fine.
Lots of dancing guests in the hall. The jukebox was moved to gather them closer to the bar.
Then Fiona pulls out the violin and performs a few songs. She decided that it would be more creative to perform facing away from her audience... Sissela definitely doesn't mind.
Party ends and somehow Otto earned a bronze medal. But where to find that medal, that's a mystery. Would make for a cool wall decoration behind the bar.
2:30 AM Moods & Scores
It's very hard finding a green anything after a party. So, orange is the new green, as 4 of them are orange, Fabian, Ona, Ochana and Otto. Of these all, Ochana has the best plumbob, and becomes tomorrow's Super Sim! She might get 200 points from the Loser?
- How about those seeds in your pocket, Ochana?
- Oh, it was a lie, I admit it. Sissela looked so sad to leave. If she was way in negative score land, I wouldn't have helped her, but she missed only 2 points!
- Wouldn't it be better if this contest goes on by rules?
- I won't do it again. Sissela will be out soon anyway, I think.
Quatore, Fiona, Toby and Sissela are all red! From these, Fiona is the reddest, and she is tomorrow's Loser! She will hand over 200 points to Super Sim Ochana, unless she completes the (delayed) midnight challenge within 60 minutes.
Fiona's number is 5, and this is day 9, so her challenge number will be 5+9=14. Because there are only 9 challenge alternatives, she picks number 14-9=5.
5. Walk outside and make someone laugh.
Ah... that's a repeat from Sissela's failure yesterday. Is it some sort of faith involved?
No good luck, the only one she saw was Salvador Atkinson, he was probably just leaving their party left, and he didn't stop when Fiona tried to call him over. Probably too tired. So, Loser Fiona hands 200 points over to Super Sim Ochana.
