House needs more statues laying about.

Engrave EVERYTHING.

[Burnt Pies]

Keep writing! gotta finish that book!

Also, learn the drums.

[Vector]

*pesters vaguely*

[MaximumZero]

I didn't forget about this, I promise. I've just had a crazy week, especially at work, what with all of the preparations for the dreaded Black Friday.

[MaximumZero]

FakeEdit: Day 8 is live! We've lasted more than a whole week, ladies and gents! Nobody's died. Cheer or boo or whatever if you like. I consider that a victory.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Barbarossa and Burnt Pies talk about movies. In the background, the wild and majestic Vector eats a breakfast calzone in her native habitat.

We got a closeup, but we had to use the zoom lens. Didn't want to spook her.

scrdest plays my guitar. The red one is mine, jerk. It goes faster.

NEW PAJAMAS!

Sappho gets to work on a new sculpture for the garden. She decides that ice would be a bad medium for that because, you know, it melts.

RedKing has something on the mind. Japa has bolts on the brain.

Nope. Totally didn't just break that bathroom thing. Not me.

I train Barbarossa so that he can use the board breaker. He wants to break rocks? Well, he has to start with foam, and before he can do that, he has to earn a yellow belt.

Wolfeyez is going stir crazy, so she heads to the dowdy-men-store. I mean, the cosignment shop. She bought two books on Nectar Making, but no one can read them. Damn French.

Here we see Vector harvesting some Wolfsbane from the garden. No, Vector, you shouldn't eat that.

Burnt Pies joins in on the jam session.

RedKing will EX-TER-MI-NATE all the water on the floor!

Finally, Barbarossa has impressed me. I let him loose with the foam boards.

Yoink has painted...a doll, I think. Odd duck, that Yoink.

Capt Kal reads a book on Gardening. That fruit will get harvested faster than ever, so that Kal can use our new Nectar Press! Which set us back $1500. I hope you have a plan for recouping that loss, mate.

BP steps away from the drums to dance with Yoink and the new stereo. They are the most awkward dancers ever.

I help Vector in the garden. That's probably not a great idea. I'm not good with plants.

Japa made a twirly-globe thing!

RedDalekKing failed in his mission, and left Wolfeyez to clean up the rest of the mess. For shame.

Those trees are growing by the minute. What kind of fertilizer are you using, Vector?

RedKing's conversation got too steamy, and blew up the computer. Great.

A minor freakout about not deleting browser history and chat logs ensues.

So, RedKing decides to fix it himself, with his handy-dandy magnetized screwdriver. Wait...

Yoink is so damn bored, he's sitting at the picnic table in his underwear, eating breakfast calzone from earlier. Clearly, something must be done.

Japa, you don't have to get so close to the TV, man. I put chairs in and everything!

Oh, crap. No way this could go wrong.

Here we see scrdest ignoring the smouldering computer next to him by reading a romance novel. Also, we see RedKing, who forgot to unplug the computer.

SO MANY FOAM BOARDS!

Burnt Pies decides to go back to her book.

Kal wants to put the food away. Sappho is super hungry. This...is a problem that could be easily solved, guys. Let Sappho put the food away, amirite?

You'd think she'd be more excited about finishing the book. Royalties for six weeks! Huzzah!

Vector is training to slap the hell out of a fool. I pity the fool.

That's an ugly kick, Vec. Idea.

As soon as I'm done with the garden, I'll come help you out. Wait, isn't this your garden?

Training montage! Cue the 80's hair metal!

Back to the drums, in celebration of a book well written.

Yes, Wolfeyez, the Hausmates do live like pigs. Pigs that don't make their beds.

The primmest, properest ladyslap you will ever see.

RedKing fixed the computer without killing himself. Well done.

Kal and the Comfy Pajamas decide to start a new statue.

Barbarossa skips balsa wood and goes straight to oak. Good luck, Commander.

Per usual custom, Japa electrocuted himself with the TV. Not surprising, given that he didn't turn it off.

So, back to inventing. Maybe he'll invent a new TV.

Statues start to form.

I granted Vector a white belt. Where are your sleeves, girl!?

Vector expressed a need to hit someone. So, I volunteer.

Round one. Fight!

Nope. Gonna have to do better than that.

Yoink is at a tavern. There's a whole three people here!

RedKing calls someone. The ghostbusters? No, a girl he flirted with online!

This is the face of a man who just invited a girl to an insane asylum. And she accepted. Welp.

And she got here quick. She beat RedKing to the front door.

Much industry. I hope Japa doesn't set fire to the room at the moment, with all the extra wood in there. Also, he made a squid-thing.

Vector, that is not the way to get a green belt.

Barbarossa sidles up to the keyboard.

Foosball? Foosball. Fuck yeah. I feel like Kal would fit in here, what with the hats.

Time to make some money.

Statue complete. Now, to haul that heavy son of a bitch outside. Wait, will it fit through the door?

Yes. Obviously. Right.

Awkward moment: RedKing invites a girl. She invites another girl to hang out. He's flirted with both online. All aboard, we're headed to aw-hell!

Yoink sneaks behind the bar. Not difficult, as there's no bartender.

Yoink could really use a lesson on mixology.

Meanwhile, Japa made a toy dog! It's part mailbox.

Can't...finish...sculpture!

Might as well jump right in, eh RedKing?

Ah, the blank canvas. It holds many wonders.

That bread is so old that the ants are fighting over which side can put it into their museum.

Wind up cow! Japa is on a roll.

This looks promising, right?

This...looks less promising. That's a lot of blue.

Yoink smacked himself instead of a gnome. Well done, ser.

*BOOP*

Naptime, or bedtime? The dilemma is paralyzing.

Obviously bedtime. Jeez.

RedKing is terrible at flirting.

Vector is done for the day. Night, suckers!

scrdest follows suit.

Japa's tired, but he's on such a roll that he won't stop inventing.

Much smoother.

Kal and Wolfeyez share some macaroni time.

The tavern closes down for the night, and Yoink does not look happy about it.

Japa decides to take a nap poolside.

I have found the holy grail of rock breaking. This, my friends, is Tiberium. For those of you who played Command and Conquer, yes, that Tiberium. For those of you who didn't, it's going to make us very, very wealthy, but we need to give it time.

Eventually, the cut Tiberium and the dust will grow into large spires worth about $35k apiece. For now, though, we wait. And slowly die of radiation poisoning.

That was a very quick nap.

Kal and Yoink join the land of the unconscious.

"So, hey, I forgot to ask. You're single, right?"

Nope. She's married. RedKing is not amused.

He also blows up on...I forget her name. It's not important anymore anyway.

Before we waste any more time, are you single?

Nope. Also married. And that's terrible. RedKing is about ready to explode.

Boom goes the yeti dynamite insult train! I forgot where I was going with that, but he sent both of them packing.

Sappho finally crashes poolside, and Japa takes another nap on the bench.

Lights out is at almost 7am today.

So, here's the deal. The Haus is very low on money thanks to some recent expensive purchases (like a nectar press and a flat screen tv on the wall,) and it's going to be a bit before that Tiberium is worth selling. So, I'm lifting the restriction on full time jobs. If you have a lifetime wish that's based on getting into a career, I'd suggest taking up the offer before I change my mind. If you get to level 3 of any career, I'll build you your own bedroom, but we need money for that.

Get your turns in for the next day! Most of you are stir crazy, and could use some time away from the Haus. Jobs will help alleviate that problem, as will doing things like busking in a park, exploring the catacombs under the graveyard, and finding a nice spot to fish. Just not in public pools, please.

[Heron TSG]

Is there a job I can apply fisticuffs to?

[Sheb]

Spelunking into the catacombs as a way to gain sanity? I think you're going to loose your medical licence MZ.

[scrdest]

Er, you do remember I was the one who asked for the (bum)winepress, not Kal? So I'm the one you should slap when we go bankrupt and release a horde of maniacs on the town. Also, RK's first date looks classy as hell.

Actions:
>BUMWINE! Preferably apple.
>Music on, preferably with others.

Question, max: How did you get your Sims 3 game running without that horrific script slowdown from Hot Date or whatever it's called? Every ten to fifteen seconds, the game just stops for 5 seconds at a time, full FPS, just not doing anything. Even with Hot Date uninstalled, it still does it for me.

[RedKing]

Wow, Sims 3 is the most realistic online dating simulator I've ever seen.
As to the computer, it obviously couldn't handle hotness of my magnitude. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Kinda have to wonder about the older guys in the consignment shop and that thought bubble when Wolfeyez is shopping. "Yeah, I'd like to net that one!"

Also, am I the only one starting to picture Japa as Beaker from the Muppets? 

Next day:
>All this fail has me stressed out no doubt, so vidja games!
>Try to get upgraded to fulltime busboy or spice runner or whatever it is I do now. Somebody has to bring home the bacon. And then turn it into waffles. Mmmm...bacon waffles.

I can't remember for sure, but I think I remember someone saying it comes from a random NPC sim getting stuck in an un moveable position, so constantly tries to path out to whatever it needs to get to.

I can't be sure of that though.

Bingo. And to fix it, I run nraas Overwatch, which auto-resets stuck sims, deletes abandoned cars, and prevents toddlers from wandering off their lots, which all cause massive lag. I run a ton of nraas mods, and they're all lovely. Go get them. Master Controller, Overwatch and Error Trap are absolutely essential.

Is there a job I can apply fisticuffs to?

There are opportunities that come up in law enforcement, military, athlete, and I believe criminal that have you either teach or learn martial arts. Unfortunately, I can't let you go to China and be a karate bum.

Yeah, I run Overwatch but nothing else. I'm installing the others now, thanks man!

Also, what are some other mods you recommend?
