Just one question: are there passable longcoats in this game?

Sort of, but you have to hunt for custom (fan created) content.

-tai chi if available

Unfortunately, the only martial art is "sim fu". You can work on the training dummy, spar with me, and I can teach you to break boards. That said, once you hit level 5, you can meditate.

That, or use the Store, which is the same but paid. But I got a bunch with the starter pack and used ALL the credits on longcoats

They are pretty nice, though. There's a military-style single-breasted greatcoat, an oldschool Inverness cape kinda thing, some businessy ones...

You should totally do this, and then the two of you enter the Law Enforcement career track.

"She's the brainy artist with a background in tai chi. He's the facepunching supervisor at a halfway house for disturbed individuals. TOGETHER THEY FIGHT CRIME!"

[WillowLuman]

Alright, might apply if any longcoats are available.

[Sappho]

Ah, okay. I saw tai chi on the list you linked to, but if it's not there, then no probs. In that case, replace that one with sculpting, but if there's even the slightest impediment to me getting anything done, default to video games.

[MaximumZero]

Yeah, unfortunately Tai Chi was part of The Sims 2 expansion Bon Voyage and it didn't make a comeback for TS3.

[Rose]

If I have the skill for it, tinker with something besides the workbench.

Like the stove, or TV.

No way that can go wrong.

[MaximumZero]

Day 3 is live, all! Lots of stuff to go through, here, so get reading!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

First thing in the morning, Sappho decides to catch some big, big air on the trampoline.


She then sets about making something on the workbench, which I've now moved into a workshop with the sculpting pedestal and a chemistry set. Nothing could go wrong in that room.


Barbarossa is so hungry that he contemplates eating Japa for breakfast. There is no need to eat Japa, the kitchen isn't that far away.


Burnt Pies is also considering food, but it better not be salad.


Thankfully, Barbarossa decides to eat something other than Japa.


Meanwhile, Burnt Pies steals all of the salad ingredients from the fridge to prevent future modern art.


Barbarossa makes a mess of the kitchen.


Sappho is actually making some progress on something. Hopefully it is not made of fire and pain, like Japa's last creation.


Barbarossa also makes progress.


Hey. Protip: smacking your fingers with a hammer hurts.


Let's see what Barbarossa ma-OH DAMN IT NOT AGAIN.


Burnt Pies goes back to bed after raiding the fridge.


Sappho is one with the torch. Hopefully not too one with it, though.


Japa also decides to go back to bed. In Barbarossa's bed. Thankfully, Japa is mostly clean this time.


Breakfast time! I did not eat Waffles of Madness. I had leftovers instead.


Barbarossa begins to study a cookbook. Huh. Apparently waffles are a thing in Belgium.


Burnt Pies and RedKing are up and about, chatting about...what else? Video games.


Vector helps with the dishes from breakfast. I approve of this.


Sappho made a thing! She calls it the "Claw Dipper." I have my doubts about its usefulness.


Onto the pedestal it goes. At least it looks nice.


Cooking skill up!


Junk, junk, bill, junk, bill, junk.


RedKing gets a call on his cell.


Who ya' gonna call? I don't want to know.


No, we don't have any ghosts to bust here. Yet.


Japa and Sappho eat some mad-waffles.


Burnt Pies has stepped outside. She spends what little time out of doors in the shade, though. Progress?


Pictured: Sappho and Vector playing a game of chess to raise their logic score. Not pictured: Sappho, because she bailed on the game to do something else.


Hey, man, I want to go get a job! I want to buy my own room or something!


You forgot, huh? You don't have a Writ of Good Behavior! All that fighting with Vector and generally pissing people off ensures that you won't get one for a couple more days at the very earliest. Behave for a few days and then you can go make money. Not until then, though.


Pff, whatever. I knew that.


Burnt Pies is back inside and feeling better.


RedKing decides to tackle the wall.


Up he goes, like a shooting star! A very slow, uncoordinated shooting star. This is what he gets for setting it to max difficulty.


He's actually making quite a bit of progress.


Oh, that doesn't look so good. RedKing will have a bruised tailbone for sure.


Barbarossa decides to show him how it's done.


What a showoff. Hanging by one hand. Oh, wait, he may be in trouble.


Barbarossa makes a recovery and gets back up on the wall with all of his limbs, like he's supposed to.


See those lights? That means he made it to the top and pushed the star-shaped button. It's not a hill, but you climbed it, Stickman. Well done.


Japa tinkers with the tv. No way this could end badly.


Vector starts a new painting. More modern art blobby things?


RedKing is tired of tasting defeat, and instead decides to taste some food.


Burnt Pies follows suit, digging into the fridge for non-salad materials.


Wolfeyez goes out to train on the wall, too.


Good luck with that.


At the very least, she's making something different.


That is a large block of clay there, Sappho.


Today, on Iron Sim Sous Chef: RedKing makes carbonara for only himself...


versus Burnt Pies, who makes hotdogs for everyone! Let the battle begin! Allez cuisine!


Wolfeyez making some progress. Sadly, it's getting too dark to climb.


A job well done. Japa has made the tv unbreakable! Or so he claims.


Barbarossa is not feeling well, and is wearing down. He's starting to get sick. That does not bode well for the rest of us.


Nothing is wrong with this picture. BP, who hates the outdoors and isn't a natural cook, using the grill. Nothing could possibly go wrong here.


Those blue flames sure are pretty.


Japa begins to tinker with the sink in the kitchen.


RedKing uses too much salt. Good think he's making all that for himself.


According to him, it turns out to be not bad. Make some for everyone next time, jerk!


That turned out better than expected. Well done, BP.


We really need to clean off the picnic table.


Sappho is making some progress.


As is Vector. Despite the artform, does this count as a vector drawing?


Wolfeyez takes a dip in the pool.


RedKing appreciates the upgraded tv. I think.


Barbarossa and Burnt Pies get friendly over hotdogs.


Meanwhile, I wash dishes in the bathroom, as Japa has the kitchen sink occupied.


More Sappho progress. There was a lot of clay that got turned into mulch shaped junk.


Barbarossa forgot that Japa's "using" the kitchen sink.


Vector's crayon painting is nearing completion!


Those waffles didn't hold up well.


I don't even use long distance service!


A clay...chair. Sappho, I don't think that will be comfortable.


Barbarossa is the first man down.


Meanwhile, Burnt Pies enjoys a game of Gorillaball.


I run somewhere, then promptly forget what I'm doing. Sounds about right.


This man shows up, claiming to be paparazzi. He looks more like a hired killer. We lock the front door.


RedKing is the next man down. He didn't even shut the light off.


Sappho abandons her chair for now, and grabs some leftover lasagna.


Burnt Pies hits the hay, as well.


If this keeps up, we'll have a veritable children's museum in no time. What do you mean, they weren't done by children?


I'm not sure what Sappho thinks about the lasagna.


She sure is happy to help with dishes, though. O_o


Stupid Japa, getting in the way of dishes. Sappho heads off to bed.


Wolfeyez goes outside to bake some bread on the wood-fired oven. She's waiting for Japa to finish that damned sink.


Japa gives up on the sink and eats some leftovers. The only other option was hotdogs, and that's not going to happen.


Mmm, bread.


Japa finally hits the sack, and that means lights out! (at 3am.)

Here's how it broke down:

Vector had to hold off on gardening, but Wolfeyez did go buy a gardening book, so that can happen tomorrow. She finished a painting worth a couple simoleons.
Barbarossa both climbed and learned a new skill. Complete success.
RedKing cooked himself a meal and was denied job hunting. Get that Writ.
Burnt Pies cooked and took all of the lettuce out of the fridge. This will not stop actual salads from being made, as you can throw cash at the fridge for any ingredients.
Sappho did not do much with the logic skill, but did start a new sculpture and gained an Inventing level.
Japa gained a Handiness skill level and made the tv unbreakable. Woo!

Barbarossa, Burnt Pies, Sappho and Japa all earned a Writ of Good Behavior! You can now leave the Haus for short periods of time by yourselves!

Question for all of my Hausmates: I've been doing my best to keep flirting and other weirdness to a minimum. I've also ensured that you're dressed before I take pictures. Should I continue doing so?

[Sappho]

It's not a chair! It's a life-sized *statue* of a chair!

I'll probably need to make another pedestal to put it on afterwards...

I appreciate the flirt-avoidance, though I don't much care if my sim is fully clothed or not.

For the next day, I will try to:
-finish that chair statue!
-learn to cook something tasty

[Vorthon]

Hmm. Definitely interested in being put on the waitlist.

I'm going for the physical description, definitely, because I don't really have a photo up.

1: Tall-ish, lanky, gaunt face, green-ish eyes, dark brown hair
2: Night Owl, Natural Cook, Neurotic, Couch Potato, Absent-Minded
3: Professional Author
4: Irish Green, Cheesesteak, Geek Rock
5: Leo
6: Reading
7: Writing

Also, PTW, but that's obvious. :v

[Heron TSG]

Question for all of my Hausmates: I've been doing my best to keep flirting and other weirdness to a minimum. I've also ensured that you're dressed before I take pictures. Should I continue doing so?

I don't mind either way. If others are uncomfortable with it then keep on keepin' it down, but I'm fine with weirdness and nudity.

New goals:
1. Travel far (Perhaps not so far as a star, but further than the lawn.)
2. Sing along to a song

[RedKing]

But...but...I'm flirty! It's one of my traits! And hell, it's not like it's been that effective.

New actions:
1. MOAR COOK
2. Compliment my housemates (hey, gotta figure out some way to get a Writ of Good Behavior).

[Burnt Pies]

I'd prefer no nudity, but I'm fine with flirting.

Actions:
1. Vidja Games!
2. A spot of writing

[MaximumZero]

Not nudity, but you, Vector and Sappho have a propensity for walking around in your underwear.

[Sappho]

Yes, that's true. Although my real-life underwear is probably considerably less titillating than whatever my sim is wearing.
