My TSR challenge adventure

Love, life and WooHoo – Finished! Thursday, 21 February 2008

The target sim is Lou Smorals.

I finished this challenge last night. Pleasantly surprised I actually enjoyed it.

Before I upgraded and re-installed my game for the umpteenth time, I tried this challenge out. This was also back in my dial-up days so I just downloaded the challenges and didn’t worry much about the wizard keeping track of progress. Also, my game was a lot slower and the lot took ages to load for me and by the time a sim day had passed I forgot what my game plan was. Point is I didn’t complete the challenge. It’s all about strategy.

This time round I was reluctant to attempt the challenge again. But I just wanted to scratch it off my list so I said’ Here goes nothing’.
A little light bulb finally went up in the gloom of my mind: The wizard looks only for the target sim – regardless of where he/she is. Even when ‘deleted’ the wizard will find it.

So I moved Lou out. (After I had given each girl a little makeover.)

He moved into a Plasticbox starter and I bought him Monique’s hacked computer (how did I ever manage to play without it – lol).

This challenge I a specific sequence so that the goals made sense. Of course he could have ANY 3 lovers at the same time (but my brain got stuck with Anita, Cassie and Mimi).

He invited them over for dinner parties, but that took a while to build the relationship bar. I wanted to make the transition from friends to lovers easier by getting his friendship with each of them close to 100/100, then when he does ANY romantic interaction (even to cuddle on the couch), both would instantly fall in love. This is where Monique’s computer comes in handy. Lou spent a whole day emailing the girls and quick quick the friendships grew.
First conquest was Anita Haircut. It was the romantic kiss that triggered it. My problem was getting to woohoo with her in public. I thought that just by having a hot tub at home or even a photo booth will count – it didn’t (in MY game it didn’t). Maybe it’s because of the expansion packs or all the patches, but even with 5 other sims on the lot (for a casual outing), and them cheering outside the booth – NO public woohoo memory.

So I quickly built the Public Republic. This has preactically every public woohoo situation the game has to offer on a 2×1 community lot. Discretion in the form of high hedges and fences. There’s a hot tub, hammock (BV), photo booth (NL), changing room and a dirty mattress (a hack from someone over at MTS2 – I forget who). When you arrive at the lot by car – bingo – car woohoo. Anita wanted them quite often. The want came up 3 times during a single date; It was a dream date. He also popped the question and got engaged (as per challenge tasks)

Next day, Lou invites Mimi Imfurst (gotta love those names) over for lunch – cuddle on the couch send the hearts flying. Lou says goodbye and invites Cassie Nova over. I think they fell in love with a romantic hug – or a smooch (I forget).

So Lou invites the rest of the Smorels household and says goodbye to Cassie. Brilliant pic – if they only knew.

While greeting the newcomers it looked like Anita’s best friend status dropped when Lou hi-kissed Mimi. But getting them all in the same room proved a hassle – I love Plasticbox’s houses, but they are a bit cramped ;-)
Eventually Lou just smooched Mimi and then the slapping started.

I though the engagement would automatically be off because of infidelity… apparently not. Lou had the option to ‘Break up’ with Anita. Poor thing was crying so much. So he told them all to leave. Next day Lou invited Cassie over, popped the question, got married and got her pregnant.

Whew.

I like playing happy couples with my regular sims. I don’t like them crying too much. I don’t like breaking theit hearts. They live pretty boring lives actually. But it was fun to have the argue option as to watch their faces. Of course, no-one can resist when the Attack option comes up. ATTACK!!
