So.
I was playing The Sims 3.
I decided to play with the Bachelor Family; the family that produced one of the most famous Sims to ever exist, Bella Goth.
Bella (Bachelor right now as she's a CHILD and not married yet) has a big brother Michael. Michael and Bella both needed to travel to France to experience a foreign country and bring back some things for school.
Their parents have good money so they can afford to do a trip like this.
I had the entire family go to France and had everyone except Bella do adventures, because they all needed Visa points and Bella was too young to do adventures yet. She did make some good friends and hunted for frogs out in the river. She had fun.
So anyway Michael, by luck of the draw, had a particular quest where he had to go look around the Museum D'Art to see if he could find a reason why all the security guards kept quitting. I'm sure if you play Sims 3 "World Adventures" you've done this quest. After a few interviews with current and previous security guards and some looking around, Michael found (*****SPOILER ALERT***** --really? for a 10+ year-old game? HECK YES I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING NOT TO HAVE STRANGERVILLE SPOILED FOR ME SO YEAH, ******SPOILER ALERT***** -- you never know) that the museum was actually being haunted by the spirit of a curator that got trapped deep under the museum while investigating a sarcophagus. Michael had done all the work on this quest, did all the running around, and it seemed like the only thing this spirit wanted was for his (or her) remains to be taken to the old cemetery to be laid to rest with his (or her) family. So Michael, brave little TEENAGER, carefully collected the remains, pretty much an entire SKELETON, and began to haul them to the cemetery. He was ALMOST THERE when ........
The vacation ended.
Now in this game the sims don't get any time to prepare to go home. They are unceremoniously RIPPED from whatever they happen to be doing, SHOVED on a plane, and sent home.
Apparently they don't have any kind of customs, either, because when Michael got home (and like a good boy immediately got started on his homework) I started going through the spoils of his adventures and was a little horrified to realize he TOOK THE BONES OF THE DEAD CURATOR HOME WITH HIM.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
So yeah, Jetlag is an ailment that prevents Sims from traveling so it will be a MINIMUM of three days before Michael can even get this dead person back to his home country (assuming they have enough money to even send him back so soon!), bones that are ESTABLISHED to be HAUNTED, and until then I don't see any choice but to force this poor TEENAGE CHILD to CARRY AROUND this haunted skeleton.
As an avid reader of Stephen King I can't imagine what kinds of horrible things will happen to the teenager that refused the angry spirit's last wish of being reunited with it's family and instead took it ACROSS AN OCEAN and will just carry it around.
I know a lot about Bella....not so much about Micheal. The original Bachelor family I haven't played in like 20 years lol. There is a slight chance this is something Micheal just loves to be a part of, I don't know.
It kind of sucks that this didn't happen around Halloween-time because that would be really fun to write an entire story around this happening, but as it is I haven't recovered from the horror of finding out Michael accidentally packed a DEAD BODY to take home lmao.
I'll bet the school wasn't expecting him to bring back THAT for show-and-tell!
ENJOY MY RIDICULOUS SIMS! lol
