So I got to play Sims today. Super-exciting since I don't usually get to play anymore.
Right now the only expansion pack I have installed is World Adventures.
I made a "trash" Sim to play with (one without a story line) that I called "Fatass" (since I'm so nice and all) and let her do pretty much whatever she wanted. Her life's ambition was to travel the world and take photos of everything. So she traveled a lot.
Over the simyears she collected a vast variety of objects, and she had enough experience with artifacts that she decided to start putting together some broken pieces to see what she came up with. The first thing she put back together was a diving well. I was less than impressed with this thing, but it LOOKED cool on her property, so I left it.
The next item she reconstructed was a sarcophagus of the kings.
This thing ruined her life (and it's kind of my fault.)
She had the day off and after her usual bout of gardening and writing assignments she decided to look at this thing to see what it could do (i.e. I clicked on it to see what it could do). It gave the options of "sleep," "woohoo with...." and "try for a baby with..."
I as the Simgoddess in question thought to myself, "wow, it says I can try for a baby but no one is here so that must mean there's a chance I can have a mummy-baby!!" So of course I clicked on it. Never mind the fact that after playing Sims 3 for close to 20 years I had NEVER seen or heard of a mummy baby (without mods).
[I am blaming lack of sleep for this btw]
So she went into the sarcophagus and then some random dude went in with her. I realized with horror that it was the MAID she had hired that I didn't even realize was on the lot!! THE MAID. (It was a male maid obs.)
So I started hoping she didn't get pregnant (because ew...some RANDOM dude? Some random dude that occasionally comes over and CLEANS MY HOUSE?!?) But no such luck.
Pregnant.
Here's the thing...she had been spending quite a bit of time with a rich guy and not-so-subtly pursuing him. After weeks of flirting and dropping massive hints that she wanted him he finally told her he was married. She stopped flirting with him immediately although kept him as a friend. In fact, she hadn't even spoken to him except by phone for a long time.
So she figured her only shot at getting help with the upcoming baby was it's father, so she started going after the maid, as much as she hated herself for it. He proved to be very hard to woo. Finally she let him know he knocked her up and he was talked into moving in, even though he has shown little interest in an actual relationship.
As soon as he moved in the other sims in town started calling her "naughty" and a "cheater." She had no idea what was going on.
Then she realized that even though they were strictly platonic, the general population pretty much considered her and the rich guy a couple. She was very confused. She flirted with a rich married guy for weeks and no one said a thing. She backed off and moved in the guy that got her gravid and now suddenly she was the bad guy??
So she was depressed about that. The baby-daddy wasn't the slightest bit interested in a long-term relationship and she was depressed about that. A baby makes it kind of hard to travel the world to become a famous photographer, so she was depressed about that.
But, after she had the baby the ex-maid (oh yeah, he was definitely fired for fraternizing with the clients) ended up being very helpful with her new baby girl. He even took care of the infant while she went to Egypt for a big story.
The stress must've went to Egypt with her, though. She was attacked by a mummy and she beat the undead dust out of it. I mean, I have NEVER seen a Sim beat a mummy in a fight! They have like, eons of experience!! But she hit it so hard it was knocked clear out of the Simverse.
So we will see what the future brings my sweet little Fatass (Now with ex-maid's last name so not actually "Fatass" anymore. :p)
