My Sims's Adventure for the Day

I played a random house just for the hey of it because it had been so long since I've been able to play I didn't want to delve into my stories and the Sims I've been playing for a year now.

I actually forget the name of the family, I literally just picked a house at random from Riverview.

I got a newlywed family with a brand-new house they got super cheap.

They were a little surprised at the sheer size of the house considering how cheap they got it, but they were so happy to be starting their lives off right!

First kiss on the new property.

 The paperboy's view on witnessing a public display of affection, lol.

 Enjoying their first night with a brand-new hot tub in their new house!

 Things were going pretty well at first, until weird noises started waking them up at night. Specifically, the husband. He was a light sleeper anyway and it was getting too hard to get a good night's rest.

 Soon they were being visited by a creepy little girl-ghost!

 She would just appear as if she lived there! She would holler and make loud noises and just scare the husband and wife left and right!

 Eventually while gardening the wife found a grave. It said it belonged to an older man that died of starvation.

 The husband while exploring some of the extra rooms found an urn with ashes in it.

 The wife was looking into the house's history and found out a large family had lived on the property and every single member had died on the lot!

Finally the wife confronted the little girl's ghost and found out she had died by drowning. Her grave was found and cleared of vegetation.

It ended up being a really weird but a really interesting play!

Sorry I couldn't write better today...feeling sick yo.

Finally Snapped in the Loony Bin

I dreamt of unicorns, dragons and the Loch-Ness Monster. Oh, and a Yeti.
Pamela wore her fur coat today.

Shockingly...(sarcasm) the computer was broken. I did a quick fix then worked in my garden. Terry came out and helped for a little bit, but then she got distracted and left. Maybe she saw the moon?

Pamela was talking to the toilet. Why does everyone talk to the John? What am I missing? It doesn't say anything to me.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

I stayed up too late last night. I think I went to bed around 3:30am. Pamela was yelling at Jevon for sleeping on the couch. Then she started baby-talking to him, then made fun of him.

Now she's talking about him behind his back.....to the window.

Sometimes this place feels like a prison. I can't go anywhere except to work Could I actually go crazy in here? I'm going to go to bed early.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ 

I had to go to work without a shower!! My theatrical cohabitants all made sure to tell me what they thought of my scent! Well tough! Someone has to earn the simoleons!

Pam blocked my way to the shower to tell me how much I stank. She is still there now. Annoying.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Lamar helped me in the garden today. That's really surprising considering he is a couch potato.

Edna wouldn't let me get a shower. The woman showers in her bathing suit. Speaking of bathing suits, Susan came to visit me and Rahsaan answered the door wearing his!! Thank goodness it isn't a speedo! There was a line to the bathroom again.

 

talking to the toilet AGAIN!!

~*~ ~*~ ~*~  

Had to fix the PC this a.m.! Business as usual today at the science lab. When it was time to leave Susan told me I was doing so well I got another promotion! I am now a Carnivorous Plant Tender. I get to take care of the Cow Plant!!

She didn't tell me how or why a spot opened up so quickly, but I will definitely take the pay raise!

~*~~*~

There was a line to the bathroom AGAIN!! Having one toilet for eight sims SUCKS! I went to work knowing they have a bathroom there. I worked hard today. They gave me a bonus for some of my produce. Unfortunately, a few days ago (or was it a week?) I forgot my lunch in the work fridge. I guess it got a little smelly and scientists were called in to clean up "the biohazard." The entire breakroom had to be closed for decontamination. EVERYONE thinks I'm a loser!

I hid in the specimen closet for the rest of the day!!

 Newly appointed Cow Plant Tender!

I got permission to go to the bookstore today. I bought every single book on fishing I could buy. The lady at the cash register looked at me funny, but a lot of Sims do, so why do I care?

I got all the way home and realized I bought the wrong book!! So I had to go back. Luckily they exchange!

~*~ 

I have had it. A line at the fridge and I was STARVING!! I yelled, I screamed and I called a few insane, I admit it. Anything for some FOOD! I couldn't take it anymore. I'm the only one working and I need to starve?

*~~* 

I was late for work. I had to take a cab. I think staying in this loony bin is getting to me. I hung out with my coworkers to get a sense of normalcy. I came here and sat on the toilet cuz it was the only place I could be alone.

Then Jevon came out and yelled at me for being rude to everyone yesterday. He didn't want to hear that I had a bad day, cuz they all have to spend every day there and can't leave at all. 

I tried to say I was sorry but he wasn't having it.

 *~~~*

I went to work with a new mindset. I volunteered to help Susan with her research. I will try to be a better person and friend. Susan was impressed with my help and promoted me to Aquatic Ecosystem Tweaker. I will be dealing with fish. Well it's a good thing I bought those fishing books!

*~.~*~.~*

I made grilled cheese for everyone. They were less  than appreciative but they ate it. Terry let me use the bathroom before her. I went to sleep very satisfied.

The Tragedy of Gwen & Holden

Back in 2009 my husband bought me a game I had been hearing about for a year or so, a game I wanted more than I ever wanted any other game ever (except maybe, MAYBE.....Skyrim lol, but AT THE TIME it was the game I wanted more than any other in my life).
My husband loves me so he bought it for me (and probably instantly regretted it lmao) and I installed it on my computer and then started playing immediately.
The game: The Sims 3
I had played The Sims for YEARS before that and loved it.
I never played Sims 2.
I booted up Sims 3 and realized very quickly that it was COMPLETELY different from the Sims (1) so I started up the tutorial family. You can pick whichever starter family you want, and I saw two roommates called Gwen and Holden.
Gwen Glover and Holden Wonzy, and the story was they were roommates but could anything happen between them?
I am generally a "non-shipper" (I don't believe if you put a (straight) male and female together in any form [work, ei "The X-files" {we see how well that worked out lol}, roomates, anything] that means they will get together. I believe human beings can be friends and not end up couples) so I went with Gwen and Holden being friends and Gwen was my main character because honestly Holden was boring. Holden was working part-time at the book store and writing in his spare time.
Gwen went into politics and was actually doing pretty well. She was bubbly and outgoing and was friends with the entire town. She went on a few dates but nothing ever really clicked with anyone.
So she got to talking with Holden one night and they had a really nice night together just talking and eventually Holden got up the courage to kiss her and they were an insta-couple.
They were my first ever Sims so everything they did was a first for me, too. First woo-hoo, first engagement, first wedding, first baby. Everything was amazing.
When Gwen was pregnant with her second child (they had two daughters, no sons) she quit her job and stayed home with the kids, while Holden supported them all with his writing.
Soon enough the girls were grown and their oldest daughter even had a baby of her own and Gwen Glover was my very first ever Sims (3) death. She passed of old age and when the Reaper came for her she was just as happy to meet him as anyone. Everyone else was heartbroken but it was okay because she had such an amazing life.
(And soon Gwen was my first ghost!)
~*~
SO
After such an amazing experience with my first Sim family Gwen and Holden became the standard for a happy Sim family for me.
I played many other families with many other stories but no family ever had the same magic as Gwen and Holden.
One day I got a new computer and re-installed the Sims and played Gwen and Holden again. I called them my Gwen & Holden clones. Their love story was just as magical but I kept it on the "epic" timeline so they would basically never age. They once again had an amazing life.

The time came in my real life where I had a dumb idea to "upgrade" (and I use that term very loosely) to Windows 10 and had to reinstall the Sims AGAIN (and hopefully for the last time but I'll never quit it is my favorite computer game ever). I thought, hey, I'll use Gwen and Holden 3 to try out some real estate things, because I've never really messed with real estate.
I gave them their starter house.

They stayed roommates for their starter house, and I didn't have them become a couple until their second house.

Gwen was very successful in her job and making some decent money so I gave her a makeover. I never did that with her before because she was just so cute the way she was.

Gwen's new look:

Once I installed World Adventures I had Gwen start travelling. Holden was more of a homebody anyway and I think travelling abroad is more fun when you can concentrate on just one single Sim.

Gwen at Dragon Cave in Shang Simla, China

Everything was going great and Holden finally popped the question and OF COURSE Gwen said yes. She had never even dated anyone else, she had eyes only for Holden.
After a while and a few more trips overseas I noticed suddenly Holden acting kind of funny. He seemed grumpy most of the time, and Gwen couldn't cheer him up like she used to.

It culminated in one day Holden (with NO command from ME, btw) approached Gwen and accused her of cheating on him!!

I could not believe it! She never cheated on him (that I was aware of)! I didn't realize this could happen in the game!

At first Gwen was angry and let him stew in his own juices until he realized he was wrong and the only man she had ever loved (in this life and two past lives!!).

But all too quickly Gwen and Holden's relationship deteriorated to the point where he couldn't stand to be in the house with her and he moved out.

POOR GWEN!!

She was HEARTBROKEN!!

I felt SO BAD for her!!

I finally gave her a new makeover to try to make her feel better, then had her travel some more. Nothing like a new look and fresh new faces to cheer sweet Gwen up!

But it has been real hard going. She cried on shoulders of new friends and old friends alike.

There is still hope for Gwen and Holden, I guess, but it might be time for her to try to move on. She might be able to find love again, but somewhere deep in her dreams she will always remember a love so deep she can't define it, and dancing in the rain with her one true love.

R.I.P Gwen & Holden.
