Instant City - a BaMC Challenge: Household B-1, Fall 2, Part 2

Instant City
Household B-1,
Fall 2, Part 2
2. - Hello and welcome back to the second part of Household B-1, Fall 2 of Instant City - a BaMC Challenge. Last time, 4th
Greatgranddaughter-2 aka Ann Lee damned her eternal soul forever…-
‘HEY!’
-… and spawned the next generation of plantbabies, mysteriously 2 less than the maximum number of household sims…
also she went to work and left a nanny in charge… lets see, what the nanny does…-
3. ‘OH – I – NEED – TO -….!’
- I told you last in the part, there are no toilets in the apartment, use the flowerbeds outside next to the street…-
4. -… oh, chance card: once again it’s the : should you become CEO of Microscotch or stay with your company…-
5. -… and Serva B-1 stays, gets promoted and earns 5000 …-
‘OOOOOOoooOOOooooOOOooo…’
7. -… just mop that pigsty up, you good-for-nothing…-
‘*Snif* - this is so unfair… NPC’s have feeling too, you know…’
-… let me reiterate from last part: no, you don’t…-
‘Yes, I do!’
- No you don’t. –
‘… really?’
-… yep. –
‘Oh – then I guess it’s alright…’
8. ‘... And I guess, I’ll just… stand around here… waiting till she comes back… all stinky…as I have no feelings…’
11. * sproing*
‘Oooh – that felt weird…’
-… because you’re pregnant, that’s why it felt weird…-
‘No I’m not – see? No belly!’
-… oh for… even the male Plantsims got this right, why can’t you…? –
‘Because I’m not, and you have no proof that…’
12. ‘… oh…. Maternity leave…. Guess, you are right… dangit…’
- finally… now go pay your bills, and then back to the kids, teaching them stuff…-
13. ‘… Hello! Glad you’re back, your kiddies are waiting for you…’
‘*snif* *snif* - eww, you stink – go away and get a shower!’
‘Lalala… I’m an NPC, I have no feelings, lalala…’
14. ‘…helloho, my pretties – shall we learn nursery rhymes?...’
-… and she did, teaching all of them…-
15. -… and after that, it was the toddler table again, building relationship between this three…-
24. -… and another mishap…-
‘*Snif* I have no feelings, I have no feelings…!’
25. -… annnd – another promotion to the top in business, raising the number of Business Districts we could add to 28….-
Potential
Business
Districts: 25 + 3
38. -… okay, before we reveal the father, I decided, to add the rule to my… naming system, that the name of the child is
determined by the mother respectively the alien pregnancy father… so say hello to 5th Greatgrandson-3 and 5th
Greatgranddaughter-2…-
39. -… and the father is… Grandson-2, aka Arthur, the last Sim that inherited Professor Disc’s round ears…
[so technically, these kids are also Professor Disc’s third Greatgranddaughter and fourth Greatgrandson, but don’t make this
get anymore complicated then it already is…]
...Sooo… are you gonna say something to that, Ann Lee? –
‘What should I say? I’m a mother, my Greatgreatgreatgranduncle is the father – that’s it!’
-… how about telling him? He deserves to know….-
‘We are several generations apart, and it’s been only one single season so far since we were born – no rush….’
44. -… and I think, 5th Greatgranddaughter-1 is Ideal Plantsim Liberty…-
45. -… now let’s take a look at the likes and dislikes plus roll the dice for aspiration…okay, Popularity Sim, likes… hairs, dislikes
bathing suits… as usual, disappointing combo I have no clue what to say about…-
47. -… and Fortune, Fat Artists without brown hair… oh well, we move on and figure nicknames out later…-
48. -… and first, we’ll need our dear, beloved nanny npc again…-
49. -… who needs to be here because the game says so… -
‘I have no feelings, I have no feelings…’
-… yeah, whatever, and don’t worry, no pee jokes this time, we’ll actually only be gone for a few seconds lot time, which
makes paying you for this job even more ridiculous…-
50. -… so, once again, we’re back at the Harvest&Moon…-
‘Jeez, I’m actually sick of this place…always selling Space Suits, getting badges… I wanna watch stars again, staars…!’
‘I agree with the Servo – not the stars, mind you, but this thing has been shown so many times in the last chapters…’
-… you have a point there, It’s time to move on…-
52. -… there you go – and it’s nice, that your Mom actually carried over the Space suits from her old home, so you don’t need to
visit Aunt Caitlin in Mosh Spicy…-
‘We will still visit here, right? We need drinks for badges…’
-… yeah, maybe later… perhaps some old-fashioned badge-gaining might be nice…-
‘badges… badges… oh wait, it’s stars again, stars…’
-…badges stars – all the same…-
54. -… and then, it’s time to finally buy our first business this chapter… bye, Harvest &Moon…-
55. -… and hello, SkEye Observatory …-
‘That’s an observatory? The Observatory in Numa Key actually looks more like an observatory…’
- Yeah, well… first, it is another one of Jawusas Moonbase Apollo Lots, so it is awesome by default...-
56. …- and second, this one is probably more of a tourist lot than an actual research lot, with all the trees, bushes etc. – not that
observatories aren’t often tourist attractions, and the one in Numa Key is no exception… but I think, the different design is
due to the fact, that under a dome, stargazing is limited - yet also enhanced due to the missing atmosphere….-
57. -… anyway, back to the household, who spends its time first at the books, learning the additional skills…-
58. -… and then spent their time talking with Vonnie, while I was on vacation…-
[BIG TIMELAPSE BETWEEN THIS AND THE NEXT PIC]
59. -… aah, back… what a nice vacation… where were we…?-
‘… and I think, that 1961’s Levinas first philosophy is neither traditional logic nor metaphysics, but an interpretive,
phenomenological description of the rise and repetition of the intersubjective relation at its precognitive core…’
- Hello-Ho… I’m back! –
‘Oh dear… finally! We already ran out of topics to discuss… though we already decided for our nicknames…’
- … You can’t choose your own…-
‘ I am Albert, my brother 5th Greatgrandson-1 is Isaac, and our Sister chose Henrietta!’
-… Famous astronomers, for the first Servo astronomer household at the observatory… okay, that fits… granted..-
60. -… so with the nicknames already decided, it’s time to focus on the new lot now… restaurant, shop, postcards from the
moon…-
61. -… with Vonnie being one of our first customers to give us Stars... Normally, that would actually be Links task…-
62. -… and yes, no Orangeade so far, we earn badges the traditional way, Yee-Haw…-
63. -… and actually work the restaurant, horray or so… man, Restaurants are still no fun…-
64. -… though the tipping in sims2 restaurants might actually be what makes the difference between a god and a bad restaurant
– sometimes I seem to get 1 or 2 times the money we get for the actual food…-
70. -… annd after that – while I said, no more Harvest & Moon – we returned one more time, because the observatory doesn’t
have a telephone, so we needed to buy our next community business here…-
71. -… though we sold another space suit while ding so… 135…-
72. -… and now it’s time for the next moon lot, the Nuclear Fission & Fusion! - Night Club by Jawusa…-
73. -… coming with restaurant, club, dj booth… and of course, the game just spawns a DJ at the booth…-
74. -… though not for long, and while the guy actually tried to order food at the restaurant – which didn’t work, his bar went
full, but he still got never seated nor gave us stars…-
75. -… we had some fun dancing around, just as the journalist did…-
76. -… but in a Space Suit, please… (Fat D’s controller takes a bit of time sometimes…)…-
77. -… and it’s again Vonnie, that gives us our first level…-
78. -… in the meantime, DJ Booth Guy…-
‘I have a name, you know…’
- Don’t care… left the building… for good… do I even need to point out, that he shouldn’t be able to breathe in space…?-
79. -… in the meantime, our Plantsims discovered the hottub…-
80. -… so in case you ask yourself, why they all run around bathing suits for the rest of the chapter, that’s the reason… yeah,
Fat’D’s controller doesn’t go against this either…-
81. -… but, it’s fun to fool around for once… even Robinson Disc enjoyed it… and I have no idea what to make with his
appearance, neither evil plan talking nor anything else fits…-
82. -… so lets focus on another restaurant again… -
83. -… and level 5…-
‘That’s focusing?’
- Do I care? –
‘… no comment….’
84. -… anyway, what everyone was waiting for… Mosh Spicy Mini Mall Juice Shop!...-
‘Everyone was… ?? What are you talking about??’
85. ‘… What he does all the time, niece – telling lies!’
- HEY! –
‘She’s absolutely right!’
-... Oh, you so gonna get it…-
86. -… okay, as punishment for we returned…-
‘Ah, NO, not again the Harvest & Moon…!’
-… Oh yes, and everybody is going to do pottery… except you, Ann Lee, you make Snapdragons…-
87. -… and slowly…-
‘Sorry, we Plantsims have to stop – not enough sunlight to continue working…’
-… don’t you dare!...-
88. -… okay, let’s try again: slowly – and insidely under greentlighty – we get our pottery badges…
89. -… and our tailor badges too, before it’s time for the Orangeade again…-
91. ‘…*Chug* *Chug* *Chug*… man, so this is being alive? Wonder how it feels to be dead… we were just born, then left alone
for a big part of that guy’s vacation, and then we don’t even get a single line anymore… ‘
‘Word, bro… ‘
‘Guys – you’re looking at this all wrong… sure, we are all bland personalities right now, but hey! The challenge isn’t even
close to that guys goal… and for that, it is quite a big city now, with a lot of business and so on… and the Districts look quite
personal now… perhaps in a few seasons, we will finally be fully developed too then… ‘
‘…. Woah, that’s deep Sis… or rather drunk… time to go home, I guess…’
-… yeah, go home… you know, your sister is a nice girl, but you are a jerk, Albert… I got your number….-
92. ‘… OH MY! You returned home! Before I peed! You DO care…!’
‘…Do I know you?...oh right, you’re the nanny… sorry, I didn’t recognize you, with you not being stinky for a change… by the
way, I have to go to work today, so you will just stay here until I’m back – of course I’m only paying you for the time I’m not
here…’
93. -… and with this latest example of ‘how to treat your personnel’ – it’s time to go job hunting again… immediately, we find…-
‘Business again… how many Districts does this guy want to have, we already have 28 potential ones…’
-… actually, 116…-
‘WHAAAAA…?!!!!’
-… I did calculations on how to reach 500.000 Population, what did you expect…? –
‘… why did I even ask…?’
-… yes, why….? -
94. -… soo with another pee fest by our nanny, everybody cashed a promotion again…-
95. -… and Ann-Lee… Aw, come on – that is the third time the game thinks you get promoted to the top– and you didn’t drop
out or anything…!-
‘Oh, three times appraised – I don’t mind!...’
-… well, okay… but the business woman has to go now for the rest of this season…-
97. -… yep, it is already time grow up for the inbre babies… and for a change, we finally threw a birthday party…-
98. -… and guess, who was invited…-
‘Wow, you have kids now? Who is the father?’
-… yeees, Ann Lee, tell him, tell him… muahahaha…-
‘Uncle – you are their dad.’
‘Oh.’
‘Yep.’
‘… should I pay child support or so? I have the money to…’
99. ‘Nah – I’m fine – come visit whenever you want.’
‘Wow. Cool. Soo… what now?’
‘… Wanna make out?’
- …!!!! –
‘…Yeah, why not…?’
*Smooch*
- *speechless*…-
100. -… I don’t believe this….-
‘What? Mom being able to sweet-talk her way out of this? Of course she does… moron…!’
- HEY! –
‘… hm, did you hear that? Our latest niece/coworker seems to be throwing a birthday party for her kids…’
‘… hm, she didn’t invite us, but we’re already here… also, does this mean, our female relatives are actually making kids with
other Sims outside the family now…?... okay, silly question, they need to, everything else would be disgusting…!’
‘... Uh, oh…’
102. -… and – well, no third leg or an extra pair of eyes… pity… also, the elf ears overwrote Grandson-2’s round ears… double
pity…
103. -… okay, one more try… hey, how did you get up so fast here, Albert?...-
‘Meditative teleportation, dah…! Also, Mom needs me if her uncles arrive to prevent the drama…’
-… yeah, whatever, let’s see how this one turned out…-
104. -… ookay… elf ears again – and bald…. Okay, can’t really point that to the… you know what I mean… babies are born bald
sometimes…-
105. ‘… Awwww… they are so cute… I would marry you, if I wasn’t a Romance Sim and not into relationships…’
‘Me neither… so let’s stay lovers instead… ‘
‘… ugh… does that mean…. *shudder*… disgusting!!’
-… Finally! Somebody does what I expected the entire chapter!!!...-
‘Not so fast! Sorry, other not-intimated uncle, but Albert to the rescue…!’
106. -… and so Albert actually did save the party and things from getting weird by distracting everybody with a game of kicky
bag…-
107. -… and so, Instant City’s first birthday party for non-alien babies became a smashing success…-
108. -.. And afterwards…-
‘Thanks for saving the party, Albert!’
‘Always, Mom… this uncle was a Jerk…’
‘Aww.. They will get around it, I’m the first ‘female’ Mom, I won’t be the last…!’
109. ‘… however, there’s something else I need to discuss with you…’
*hands over gift*
‘… Oh. Does that mean, I’m the next one to…?’
‘Yeah – authors idea of punishment or so… plus, so far you had more time to get personality than the other two…’
‘… I’m not sure if I should feel honored or insulted…’
-… are you still here? Move, fall’s almost over…-
110. -… and while 5th Greatgrandson-2 moved out, his siblings didn’t even notice, happily meditating away…-
‘I will always cherish the memories I… wait, there aren’t any memories I could have, being an underdeveloped character and
so…’
-… MOVE! -
111. -… okay, so I thought, Winter would come any second now… but it took its precious time, so Ann Lee started teaching her
toddlers how to walk…-
112. -… and I decided, to give our poor bald 5th Greatgranddaughter-2 a decent haircut… yep, better…-
113. -… of course, real babies are nowhere as enduring as Plantsims, so they had to go to sleep…-
114. -… however, by the time they were awake, it was still fall, so the teaching how to walk continued…-
115. -… and by the time winter arrived, the members of the household were already back at work… Ann Lee and the Servos had
fortunately an off day… no need for her to get promoted to business tycoon a fourth time…-
116. -… finally, with our newest working family members coming back promoted…-
117. -… it was finally also time again to send our inbr new bundles joy of to sleep… and to close out this episode as well…-
118. -… and that’s it again, another episode filled with… with… I can’t think of anything good this thing was filled with… the first
part was… creepy naughty and the second was the same as usual… yeah, why am I doing it this way? I think, Henrietta
summed it up fine – we’re building a big city, mainly concerned with crunching the numbers right now…. So most things are
frameworks now, the final product comes later, including Sims with personalities… and then I can look back and say: it
started from that??? Yeah – can’t hardly wait… thanks for anyone sticking with me!
Happy Simming!
