Day 7 is complete, and there was weirdness abound! Come get your dose of MaximumZero brand Sims Madness!
I had to take away the rock walls, because they were causing massive lag and doing weird things to the Sims around them. Sorry, all. I know they will be missed.
It's 4am, and I have to get the fuck out of this Haus RIGHT NOW. Good thing I'm the only one awake.
Japa, I'm commandeering your bike. Hope you don't mind.
I found another seed. I'll give it to Vector later.
There was a kid in the graveyard at 4am. That's not creepy or anything. Kid, go home and go to bed.
I enter the mausoleum, where I proceed to spend half the day and find jack shit.
Meanwhile, scrdest is hell bent on waking the whole haus.
Sappho is...I don't know. Counting the squares or cubes on Vector's blanket?
Wolfeyez decides on leftover PB&J. That's a poor decision, wife.
Sappho, on the other hand, chooses pie, which is the best choice we currently have.
Vector is so hungry she could eat an irrational number. Or another clove of garlic, or whatever other weird things she's planning on eating.
The dishwasher makes dishes easy, but I'm still grateful any time one of you does dishes.
Vector, I set up a joke about "eating Pi for breakfast" and you ruined it. Well done.
Yoink is awake, although he doesn't look too happy about it.
Capt Kal admires our shower/toilet stall things.
Sappho begins a new sculpture.
Burnt Pies continues her book, "If Witches Were Horses."
The TV chef set the kitchen on fire. Don't get any ideas, Wolfeyez.
Vector is enjoying some peas and quiet. Well, there are no peas in the Sims, but there are carrots and stuff, but they don't work for the joke. Deal with it.
Yoink is unsure about the rockin' lifestyle.
Wolfeyez talks to Kal about the possibility of part time work.
RedKing is super hungry, and looking thoughtful. No, RedKing, you should not eat our brains.
Wolfeyez is pleased with Kal's ability to game.
That said, Wolfeyez is vicious with the controller fu.
scrdest and Yoink abruptly stop playing and head to the restroom. It's a good thing those stalls are private.
Barbarossa is awake, leaving Japa the only one left sleeping. Despite Barbarossa's smiling face, he's not a morning person, and will be suffering the effects of an early morning for a few hours.
Yes, Sappho, it IS like the whole Haus is made of gamers.
I'm back, and pissed at not finding anything. So, I smash some space rocks.
Japa is finally awake. It's noon. It's a good thing he doesn't have to work today.
Barbarossa and Wolfeyez are winning. I feel bad for Kal and Sappho.
Put me in, coach, I got hoop dreams!
Japa eschews the peanut butter and goes straight for just the bread.
I added a sculpting station. Kal and Sappho race to make something.
Vector is surfing the web in her garden.
She then bolts for the door. The stir craziness has set in too deep, and she has to go somewhere.
Freedooooooom!
Yoink looks unsure about his giant plate of noodles.
After an hour of trying, one finally went in! So proud of you, RedKing!
After spending 200 simoleons on stuff to plant, Vector jogs for a little while.
Yoink gussies himself up in the mirror.
scrdest finally gets some food.
Kal appears to be in the lead, there, Sappho. Race continue!
Japa likes to watch the handegg, but he isn't so sure about playing it. It's different than cricket, after all.
Vector buys food from a truck. I didn't know that was a thing.
Om nom nom truck taco.
What in the world could Japa be making now?
Kal is almost done! Better hurry, Sappho!
scrdest does dishes. I approve.
is right. That can't feel good, Japa.
Oh, hey, the workbench is glowing and smoking. That can't be good.
FIIIIRREEEE! I shoo everyone out to the pool area.
I turn into MaximumHERO here. Brave trait for the win.
Barbarossa is also mighty handy with the extinguisher, as the fire tried to spread before I could stop it. Teamwork!
Despite being scorched beyond recognition, Japa is complaining about RedKing's smell. Wow, he must be bad. Down at the bottom of the picture, you can see that scrdest is complaining about RedKing's funk, too.
Japa, man, you're supposed to shower before you get in the pool. Pool scrubbers are going to work extra hard tonight.
Yoink decides that since he's outside, he may as well take advantage of the trampoline.
Son of a...he's back.
Meanwhile, scrdest plays some funk, in honor of RedKing.
Burnt Pies, where do you keep your phone when you have no pockets?
Vector is dramatically increasing the size of her garden. She'll reach level 10 in no time.
I didn't catch the act, but I caught the outcome. Yoink hurt himself on the trampoline by falling almost off of it. He clipped the edge and then hopped off. Despite this, he seems to be okay, but is suffering a negative moodlet for the rest of the day.
Get. Away. From. My. HAUS!
Oh, it's on. I slappa you face! Come at me, bro!
He takes the opportunity to GTFO. Quickly.
That is not a standard getaway car.
While I was slapping the mess out of that guy, I spotted a seed not too far from the Haus. It appears to be glowing red. I'll give it to Vector to plant later.
Here, have some seeds. I'm not fond of dirt.
Rock goes in, shinies come out.
Sappho wins the contest! The detail is ruined by the grain of the wood, but that's actually a bust of Socrates. It's worth $127.
Wolfeyez and Burnt Pies play catch in the dwindling sunlight. I really have to teach BP how to throw.
Wolfeyez, on the other hand, can throw a perfect spiral. Sign that woman to a contract!
RedKing has made it to work. Note: He's wearing future-shoes and no hat. I almost didn't recognize him.
This is what Japa looked like after getting out of the pool. You'd think some of that would have washed off.
Shit just got real. WHO GAVE SAPPHO A CHAINSAW!?
Despite being in a room with a running chainsaw, Vector thinks my gem cutting machine is too loud.
I'm willing to bet that Barbarossa sang "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" the entire time he was making these.
Kal comes back in to see that he has been defeated in the race. He can still finish the sculpture, though.
Wolfeyez takes Barbarossa's plate and kicks it up a notch. It went from average quality to nice quality and all she did was toss a pinch of something on the plate. BAM!
If Hired Killer Guy shows back up, Barbarossa plans to slap the beanie off his head.
I hope BP is done with her book soon. She won't let anyone read it. It must be good, though, because the publisher has given her $82 for samples today alone.
Yes, Wolfeyez, you do cook better than the rest of us. Showoff.
Vector reads a book about unicorns and a girl named Audrey.
Japa finds a flirt online. BP has switched computers and kept going on her book. I am wandering around aimlessly.
Kal finishes the statue. It's worth $17 if you want to sell it, but I put it out with the martial arts gear for now.
Wolfeyez continues cooking something, and scrdest does dishes.
Yoink gains favor of the nerds by playing online.
Kal gives a lecture using Vector's planets, and no one is paying attention.
Guitar time? Guitar time.
Is Sappho making progress on that block of ice, or is it just melting?
Meanwhile, Wolfeyez finishes her spaghetti for the Haus, and sets up her own plate. It's of Excellent quality. C'est magnifique!
Kal helps clean up the kitchen, despite never cooking anything. If that won't get a Writ of Good Behavior, I don't know what will.
Immediately upon getting home from work, RedKing tries to invite a girl over, despite smelling like a pile of horses.
He then gets shot down.
Try number two!
What do you mean you have to wash your moose?
So, RedKing decides to ignore the fabulous spaghetti on the counter and make his own food. Screw everyone today.
Barbarossa has begun the long journey of getting as good at martial arts as me. I'm so proud.
The sun has set, but Vector and Yoink think it's an appropriate time to kick a soccer ball around.
They play some footy keepy uppy. Brits have weird slang for everything.
Oh, Zeus, RedKing you smell like a pile of horses. Poor Sappho.
Kal decides it's time for bed.
Sappho has other things on the brain. Like food.
RedKing got a call back from one of his online ladyfriends to specifically refuse to come over. That's cold and harsh.
Vector shows off some kicky skill.
Yoink has had enough, and both Kal and Yoink head to bed.
Sappho goes back to CHAINSAW TOWN.
Japa and RedKing are finally clean, and Barbarossa heads to the showers himself.
I don't know why RedKing put his hat back on to go to bed, but whatever. Halfway Haus of Madness for a reason, I guess.
Burnt Pies joins the bedtime parade.
Yoink got up out of bed, sprinted outside, and talked to Vector about coming back inside. I don't even.
As most of you are in bed, I go back to breaking rocks.
Japa and Yoink partake in macaroni.
Vector naps poolside, despite being less than about 50 feet from her much more comfortable bed.
Wait, what!? Sappho made a high chair out of ice. We immediately sold it for $128, before it melted.
This just in: XCOM needed at the Halfway Haus in Aurora Falls. Aliens invade! (No, this is not part of a mod. I checked.)
The sinister allium. Get your laser rifles! What do you mean, we haven't got those? I may have to settle for my bare hands.
Curse you humans and your advanced lock technology! You come unlock this door immediately so I can harvest your organs!
The damn door is locked! I need five extra spleens and now I'll never get them!
Japa decides to let the allium go to hell and goes to bed.
The allium scans the garbage can. Perhaps they don't have garbage where he's from? I mean, I know the US generates a lot of trash (a ludicrous amount. Don't look it up unless you feel like being depressed,) but come on.
He then scans our mighty wheel technology. Damn alliums, stealing our technology and water.
Back in the UFO, he takes back to the skies, having successfully harvested nothing. Superior doors win the day. Huzzah!
That marks lights out! Sleep tight, the aliens can't get you through our flimsy wooden doors!Cptn Kal, scrdest, and Yoink have all earned a
Writ of Good Behavior and may now leave the Haus and get part time jobs if they wish!
Don't forget to post your actions for day 8. As of right now, I'm not taking on any more Sims (this update was over 140 pictures before I pared it down a bit,) but the waitlist is still open. If Japa keeps it up, there'll be at least one open spot soon.
