Household C-2,
Fall 2

2. -… Hello, and once again Welcome to another episode of Instant City – a BaMC Challenge – and it’s Numa Key again, only 2
Beach lots to level up!... So last time… stuff happened….and now back to the… story…?...-

3. -… and here’s 9th Greatgrandson-1 aka Homer meeting his new roommates…-
‘GIMME TWENTY!’
‘EEK!’
-… he sounds nice, he didn’t call you maggot…-
‘Bah – you’re useless serving in the ICA (Instant City Armytm) – you’re not pregnant, aren’t you?’
‘… no?’
‘THEN GET OUT! If I see your @$$ if we get back from inspecting our troops…!’

4. -… wow, getting kicked out immediately – new record…-
‘… and where should I go? Guess I could move in with the older generations…?’
- Wait, wait, wait…you are not going to give up, do you? –
‘And what should I do?’
- Get a job, pay for your stay…?-
‘… no job in business, and these guys apparently want something for their army… well, make-believe army, but still…’
-… good idea…-

5. -… uhm, guys, if Homer contributes something to your army, can he stay?...-
‘NO!’
-… let it me phrase it this way: if Homer contributes something to your army, he can stay, if not, *you* can stay…. *mean
creator face* -
‘… okay, but it better be worth it….!’

6. -… okay, so they’re off, now we need to think off something to… … what are you doing?-
‘Going on Vacation – hey, it gives me 3 extra days to think of something!...’
-... Okay, proceed…-

7. -… okay, shuttle is here, let’s… what are you doing? –
‘Oh, I felt dry, so I thought I struck a water pump to…’
-… I almost forgot who your namesake was….-

8. -… so here we are at the camping ground and…-
‘The water looks odd…’
-…. Dangit, I forgot to upgrade the lots for Voeille’s pond & sea water overhaul… oh well, never mind, just pretend it’s a tar
pit…-
‘…On a camping ground?’
-… getting advice from Homer… great…-

9. -… and so the vacation starts and… pancakes? I’d say to impress those military servos, you should do and eat something
more… well, ‘manly’… (apologies to female readers)…-
‘Pancakes with maple syrup are the manliest food there is! Gives you hair on the chest!!’
-… shut up cook, you’re not helping…-

10. -… okay, so after the… ‘manly’ food we do some weapons training…-

11. -… and then we work on our skill cleaning up the latrines…-
‘… I thought, we were doing this for a new shower installation…’
-… in the woods? –
‘… oh hey, found a map!’
- Great! Reading Maps helps for the army too! Let’s go !-
‘Aww… but I’m feeling a little sore from all that digging…’

12. ‘…. Aww, good massage…-

13. ‘… Weeeeh… dancing is fun…!’

14. ‘….Aaaw… sooo relaxing…’
-… what about the army?! –
‘Ehrm… undercover training?’
-… well, time to get out from under the cover and do something! –

15. ‘… wow, there are plants growing on the tar pits…’
-… oh shut up…-

16. ‘Uhm… Hi, I’m Homer…’
‘OH MY – I’m such a big fan of you – how’s the family, Homer…?’
‘I’m not… yellow? *Cough* and not a cartoon *Cough* ’
‘Of course not! You’re green, like on my old, frizzing TV…!’
‘No – Look, I’m not him – I just have the same name!’
‘OH!... Well, this is awkward…’

17. ‘But never mind – Welcome, friend!’ *Bigfoot Hug*
‘Aheheh – hey, you’re pretty strong…’
‘Yeah, Well I’m a Bigfoot – Andre Bigfoot, by the way…’
‘… hm… hey, Andre, ever thought about joining the army? *cough*so I don’t need to*cough*’
‘…. No?’
‘… They show Simpsons Marathons on HD Plasma TV’s on Weekends…’
‘REALLY?! Sign me up…!’

18. ‘… Okay, so for joining the army, I need to be in top shape… Gimme me your best shot!’
‘… you… you’re Bigfoot!’
‘Yes? Why? You’re specisist? *suspicious*’
‘… One Fit-for-the-army-massage coming right up Sir, Mr. Bigfoot, Sir!’

19. ‘Aaah… that was good, now a bit of sauna…’

20. ‘… And than some manly food…!’

21. ‘Ommmmmm….’
-… don’t you think, that this was a bit of a d*ck move to lure the poor guy into this…?-
‘Ommmm – Armyrecruitersalwayslurepeopleinwithfalsehopesplusourarmydoesnotreallyexistonlyyellingservos –
Ommmm…’

22. ‘… hmm… you know, it was a coincidence finding this old army handbook in the tourist section… but I’m actually starting to
have some doubts about what Homer told me about the army…’
-… do you now? –
‘… yeah… then again, my TV frizzed out completely last night, so everywhere is better than here… I hope, he has a TV back
home…’
-… doesn’t everyone have one… well, that or the Internet…? -

23. ‘...hm, where is Andre?’
-… Guess he went packing – for the army…-
‘Oh okay… and you’re right, perhaps it was mean to lie to him… perhaps I should do this myself after all… gonna do army
training now!’
-… you do that…-

24. -…. So Homer… studies tree marks…well, let’s call it history lessons… or we learn something about the seasons on a place…-

25. -… or perhaps it was simply to understand tree stumps better, when you roll around on them…-

26. -… or buying souvenirs… okay, you just continue vacationing, do you?!...-
‘Well, yeah… on second thought, Andre seems eager enough to like the army anyway…’
-… uh-huh..-

27. ‘… oh, alright… you won - I’m going back to Andre and tell him, that I lied and…. Wait – that’s not Andre…!’

28. -… yep, another Bigfoot had already spawned, so Homer couldn’t redeem his betrayal…-
‘HEY!’
-…and Norbert Bigfoot couldn’t be invited to come home too, so Homer couldn’t show the military servos that he could at
least achieve something as easy and honest as recruiting people, that failure…-
‘HEY!!!’

29. -… you still here? Better get home, vacations over, time to see back to the harsh reality…-

30. -… like the broken water leak you created…-
‘Why are you sooo mean… oh, hi Andre…!’
‘Ready for Duty – SIR! *clap feet*’
‘… okay… uhm…in that case… Repair the Leak and pay the bills, private – That’s an order!’
‘Sir, yes, Sir!’
‘Wow… that felt good… perhaps the army is something for me after all…’
-… uhuh… good luck convincing the Servos this time…-

31. *book*
-… ehrm – what are you doing now?? –
‘… ehrrm… delaying the meeting a few more days with another vacation?’
- A second ago you sounded more eager…-
‘… then I remembered the first time… and now I have this urge to feel sand under my feet…’

32. ‘… do you want to come with me, Andre?’
‘SIR, yes, SIR! Bills are paid too, Sir!’
-… you do realize, that Homer’s full of himself, do you? –
‘*whisper* - yes – but that’s way more fun than sitting in the woods with a broken TV…!’

33. -… and so we set off to another vacation, this time to Twikki Island…-

34. -… and one little digging sequence I forgot to take a picture of later, we make it to the witch doctors home, surrounded by
tar pits… dangit, really need to upgrade this….-

35. -… we then fix his stuff – actually, Andre did it.. Did you order him to, Homer…?-
‘Sir, no Sir! A private’s job is to tidy up the mess, set up camp, establishing a parameter…’
-… I wasn’t talking to you, Andre… So, Homer? –
‘… I miss making friends, permaplat or not… *sigh*’
- Homer! –
‘…Hm? ‘
-… know what? Never mind….-

36. -… then Andre gets rewarded with a voodoo doll… hmmm… voodoo-doll-wearing-bigfoot… that could be useful for the
army…-

37. -… then we take in another ‘ready to boot’ massage…-

38. -… and after this, we take in a another manly food, pineapple surprise… and we’re not even going into the debate, how this
is supposed to be manly…-
‘Hey, let’s look for the ghost pirate next!... Ehrm, I mean: Sir, permission to look for the ghost pirate, Sir!’
‘… you know, Andre – this whole ‘Sir’ gets a bit old by now… I’m definitely not your superior – and you don’t have to join the
army, I just made this stuff with the TV up… sorry…’
‘Aww… but I like this whole ‘Sir’ thing – it’s like roleplaying… and from what I heard about the Instant City Army… if I join,
demand a TV and decide to go if not, there’s almost no army left, right?’
‘… you have a point there… anyway, let’s visit the ghost now…’

39. -… and so, our two man squad breached parameter on the ghost ship…-

40. -… searching for their prime target, the ghost pirate… on first try though, they only collect a log from him… actually, that is
the first time I discovered this book… didn’t even know, it existed…. Even after so many years, learning something new
about the Sims 2…-

41. -… finally, we get a hold of our target…-

42. -… to get the essential intel we needed – how to sing a sea chanty… on an unrelated note: anybody has a mod to make this
accordion playable for other Sims…?... Never mind…-

43. -… with the mission successfully completed, our heroes relax in the hot springs afterwards…-

44. -… before embarking on another mission: see, what the monkey god is planning…-

45. -… apparently it’s filling the world with cheap souvenirs…-

46. -… nothing our intrepid duo can’t handle…-

47. -… who are rewarding themselves with a taste of manly food, via room service…-

48. -… always ready, always expecting the unexpected…!-
‘EEKS! Who are you?!’
‘I’m the hotel maid? I clean the rooms?’
‘Pfft – impossible, everyone knows, maids only stand around useless near the hotel podium…!’
-… I have a fix installed, you know…-
‘… oh, well that is embarrassing…. …. Wanna be friends?’
*left already fuming* ‘Awwww…’

49. -… anyway, every vacati… army training excursion must come to an end…-

50. -… the results are definitely speaking for themselves…-

51. -… so let’s confront the generals now to show…wait… what are you two doing…?-
‘Oh, there’s some time left, we’re going on another vaca… army training jingamabob…’

52. ‘… this time to Takemizu… oh, hey look, we already know Tai Chi….’

53. ‘… the old guy was also interesting, albeit a coot…’

54. ‘… but he knew a lot of amazing war stories…’

55. ‘... And of course, we had manly food again…’

56. ‘… and a manly massage…’

57. ‘… and then I found a treasure chest…’
-Okay – Stop! Admit it – you’re on vacation, not military training!...-
‘Well…. Yeah, because after all the military training, we sooo need a real vacation…!’
-…-

58. -… okay, so, our two guys did… what usually happens on a vacation, buying souvenirs…-

59. -… learning traditional greetings…-

60. -… getting cursed by ancient shrines…-

61. -… meeting ninjas…-

62. -… who call us dummies…-

63. -… but eventually comes around and teaches us to teleport… hm, you know, that might come in handy for the army…-

64. -… and several failed attempts later, Homer is able to learn teleportation as well…-

65. -… and that was it once again for the trip…-

66. -… back at home, we of course immediately test our abilities…-

67. -… and not a moment too soon, because – after one work day equaling 3 vacations aka 9 days – the Servos come back from
work…-

68. ‘ATTEN-SHUN!’
‘SIR, YES, SIR!’
‘Oh my – you actually seem to have grown a spine instead of peeing yourself with fear… soo, why shouldn’t we kick you out
immediately, Huh?!’

69. ‘Sir – I have recruited a great addition to the army, Sir! Here’s Andre – he’s a Bigfoot, he has a Voodoo doll for a weapon and
he can teleport – oh and he’s totally into joining the army, Sir…!’
‘Wooah… books… soo many… you know, while watching Simpsons in the army might be cool, I always liked to read books…
hey, what job has to do with books a lot? Yeah, education… perhaps I want to be a school teacher…’
‘… totally into, huh?’
‘..ehrm…’
‘GUARD DUTY, PRIVAE!’

70. -… and so, like his Dad, Homer was forced to look out for enemy forces… -
‘… well, that isn’t soo bad – at least they didn’t kick me out…’

71. ‘… while Andre followed his dream to become a school teacher… that is kinda a turnaround from the army and Simpsons,
isn’t it?’
‘You kidding ? – Simpsons are all the rage with the kids, right? And I’m an army-trained Bigfoot – I’m perfect for keeping the
kids safe as well as teaching! Why, I could scare any burglar – or criminal in general – off!’
-… you have suddenly such a big point for this, I’m not even gonna argue that… -

72. -… anyway, the matter of staying or going resolved, Homer actually did, what I forgot him and his siblings to do last season,
starting to learn all the additional skills… and of course, it was time once again for…-

73. -… going to Numa Key again! 2 Lots left, first is the Relaxing Spa by illusions85 …-

74. -… of course, we first need to finish our additional skills… though we would gladly take stars from the Tai-Chi doing Servos
not wanting to leave but… guys, the business is closed, I won’t receive stars from you, so please go…! -

75. -… okay, additional skills learned, Biz skills follow…-

76. -… and then the business starts… yes, we just use the food stand that comes with the lot…-

77. -… and reach level 5…-

78. -.. Time to go home, switch property ownership on the lot for more money perks… and of course – Babies! -

79. -… and hello, 10th Great-Granddaughter-1….-

80. -….10th Great-Grandson-1….-

81. -…10th Great-Grandson-2...-

82. -… and 10th Great-Granddaughter-2…-

83. -… and for a change, instead of doing snapdragons and greenhouse lights, let’s do it this time by nursing and caring… hey,
Andre, your cue – time to learn about kids!...-
‘Ewww… no way – I want to be a teacher, not a nurse…’
- There is preschool…-
‘… sorry, unless I find a job as a teacher, I am not one… ‘
-… go make the snapdragons…-

84. ‘ATTEN-SHUN! What is the meaning of this?!’
‘Psssht – they’re playing and you’re scaring them…’
‘WHY, YOU…!’
‘OH SHUT UP – I’m not going down the same route as my Dad getting shouted at by Servos who think they are in some kind
of military… because. There. Is. No. military. Here! Got that in your head?!’
‘… no you ruined it for us…’
*depressed teleporting away*

85. ‘Yay! We did it, Andre! Now they wont be pestering us anymore with the army… oh, and we just became best friends – best
day ever!’

86. -… and with that said, it’s time for nursery rhymes…-

87. -… and for Bigfoot to become a teacher…-
‘*Ahem* I am a University Guest Lecturer now… not just a mere teacher, who has to take up with *shudder* High School
Kids all day… or pre school kids… so don’t even ask…!’
-… didn’t you just say, that you would be great protecting children from harm? –
‘Universities are just as endangered!’
-… I retract my statement…-

88. -… so Andre goes to work, it is immediately decided, that he would be much better to be in charge of a school – honestly, if
a teleporting Bigfoot with a Voodoo Doll would have been my Principal, I’d have LOVED going to school…! –
‘Dangit – I’m back at High School after all… well, I showed these professors! Looted their cafeteria fridge – probably better
than the one in school, guess, I can give the kids a good meal…’
- Be my teacher! Forever! Pleeeease…! -

89. -… okay, wishful thinking over – time to grow up…-

90. -…10th Great-Granddaughter-2 becomes a Pleasure Sim, liking good smelling fatties not too old…-

91. -….10th Great-Grandson-2 is a Family Sim, also likes fat people – or pregnant ones? – high in their career, who don’t do so
much me(cha)ni(c)al labor…-

92. -…10th Great-Granddaughter-1 is a Romance Sim who likes… also fat people… seriously, what’s with this generation?... who
are artists, as long as the are not brown-haired…-

93. -… and finally, 10th Great-Grandson-1, who is popularity like his dad, likes… fat people… with grey hair who aren’t artists…
okay, seriously, what with the fat loving? –
‘Why? Are you discriminating fat people now?!’
-… no, but this IS odd…-
‘Fat-Hater! Hate post and totally Discredit him!’
-… … so the author decided to end and delete Instant City, because he didn’t want to discriminate anyone… *dele*…-
‘WAIT! Okay, okay, it IS weird… but not weirder than dating within your own family…’
-…-

94. -… putting the ‘weird’ back to be resolved another day, we go back to the relaxing spa, teach the business perks…-

95. -… additional skills…-

96. -… then practice our sales badges…-

97. -… and finally making it to level 10…-

98. -… closing out this lot for now with another crème prize…-

99. -… before taking on the final unleveled business in Numa Key, the Promenade sur la Plague by Stoffelsim…-

100. -… which by the way, doesn’t really resemble the original lot anymore due to the difference in height for the beach lot… it
would have been flat, instead of this stepped design… -

101. -… still, the beach works exactly as any beach…-

102. -… though of course, to find treasure chests, we still need to dig into the soil…-

103. -… anyway, for this lot, we’re doing a coffee shop… and Homer will be the one serving coffee…-
‘Why?’
- Permaplat, a light, snapdragons – you can run this indefinitely! –
‘Whaa…?!’

104. -… looks, its either that, or your kids must try to earn money with their music…-
*horrible music playing*
‘Owww – my ears… okay, I’ll do it, I’ll do it!’
-… Good… *whisper* you can stop now… -
‘Awwww…’

105. -… so playing fast forward a long, long time… we actually make it to level 5 – no sales interaction, just a permaplat Plantsim
giving customers coffee… plus snapdragons of course…-

106. -… of course, all this time did quite a number on the plants… wow, never seen so much weed… hmmm… weed….-

107. -… well, getting rid of the week took quite some time…
‘Little bit of help? Together with the kids this would…!’
-… even longer – seriously, never make more than one Sim clean up a garden. Try 2, you’ll wind up with one complaining,
that he wanted to cut this shrub and just aborts his task…. Not worth it…-

108. -… sooo, after an even longer time, we finally make it to level 10…-

109. -… and the weed has grown back, sooo…-
‘Ugh…why me…?’
-… permaplat…-
‘*sigh*…’
-… and with that, we now finally have levelled up all the Businesses in Numa Key! Great – I hate unfinished business(es)…-

110. -… so only thing left is going to Mosh Spicy Harbor and… oh. OH! That’s a nice glitch! Anybody remember? Before Nightlife,
instead of choosing the lot we were going to, it showed the entire map and let us select the lot we wanted… of course, it
probably saves resources doing it the nightlife way, but sometimes I miss this look…-

111. -… anyway, some juice from the mall…-

112. -… then to the Spa, getting pottery gold badges….-

113. -… sewing…-

114. -… and juice….-

115. -… annd, we’re all done…-
‘Uhm – I didn’t get my money perks yet…’
-… Huh! Right – didn’t calculate that through, we need one more lot to end this… hmmmmmmmmmm….
*months pass*
‘Uh, Hello?’

116. -… HAHA! I DID IT –
‘… come again?’
- Hm? Oh, sorry the long wait, but I was busy trying out another building technique… and I’m happy to say it worked!–
‘Okay….?’
-… for this building, I modified the Simfuel Oilrig by Crazy_Borg…-

117. -… and remade into an actual Oilrig in the sea here around Coral Island… simply placed it on a street, used mootildas lot
adjuster to remove the street and move the lot around in the neighborhood while keeping the elevation constant… result:
Success!-
‘…Annd there goes the neighborhood… there won’t be much Corals left after this thing spring into action…
-… Shut up… also, this is a taken out of service oilrig that was towed here, so no danger for the environment, as we recycle
this rig…!-
‘Of course…’

118. -… okay, so I really wanted to decorate this former residential lot and make something out of it… but ran out of ideas… work
in progress…-

119. -… at least the landing platform works perfectly, with our Sims materializing just at the right place… and it even takes on 8
Sims together, perfect…-

120. -… sooo… having no idea what to do else, I made this thing a kind of club – there’s a ticket counter, so I don’t count it toward
the slacker openings, but hey, we’re mostly interested in business anyway… also, to get customers straight here, the counter
needed to be placed…-

121. -… well, the lot did the job, visitors came to the dance floor…-

122. -… everybody dance now…-

123. -… oh, and the lot also worked perfectly for anybody leaving… -

124. -…anyway, we made it to level 5…-

125. -… and after closing the lot, it’s time to leave…-

126. -… where our next happy candidate receives his Farewell gift… Congrats, 10th Great-grandson-2! –
‘What? Why me?!’
-… because you are still the owner of the oilrig, and happens to be the only one with red hair in the family… we need that
bit of genetic diversity…!-
‘Oh no….!’
-Oh yes – Peter!-
‘Is this still about the ‘fat turn on’, giving me the name of a fat character?’
-… yeeep. Btw, your brother is Eric, and your sisters are (in numerical order) Ursula and Queenie…- *screams of agony*

127. -(btw. Sorry that the girls got the names of ‘evil’ characters… I just couldn’t find many positive fat female characters with
names I liked… it’s either sad or rad, that the evil ones get the names I like….) –
‘Snicker - well, ‘Peter’ – here’s my gift with all the stuff you’ll need to start your own family… guy!’
‘… et tu, Andre?’
‘Hey, I’m totally into Simpsons, your namesake is just a copycat…’
- *Ahem* As … having watched both series, and liking both of them, I take offense to that…-
‘Yeah well – what are you going to do against that – make me move out with him, Ha Ha?! -… uh, oh… wait, I’ll take it back,
I...!’

128. -… and so Peter AND Andre…-
‘Awww no…!’
-… watched for a job in the business career, found one…-
‘NO please, let me keep my School post!...wait… okay, I might make it back to University, so still ‘please no….’!’
-… only Peter took it…-

129. -… and then both moved out…-

130. -… and with that, it’s almost time to close out this chapter, except when Homer was on guard duty again…-

131. -… yep…okay, I just imagined, instead of Pollination technician, this time, Kang and Kodos did this…-

132. -…anyway, Homer was even returned before Fall hit…-

133. -… like every abductee, comforted himself with a cheesecake…-

134. -… annnd, that’s it for this chapter…-
‘You know, the ‘Simpsons Angle’ was pretty weak… as was the ‘fat characters stuff’ and… look, do you put any thought in
this or are you just trying to string this stuff out to get these pictures in…?’
-… next time I’ll do Monty Python, that stuff is timeless by now…-

135. -… and with that, it’s once again time for the occasional Good Bye… levelling up all the Beach Lots was something I wanted
to do for a long time… though admittedly I had hoped getting a bit more thrilling stuff out of it… yeah, not gonna happen… -
still, population is up again, already planning for a downtown at this point – only 5000+ to go after all…
- Thanks for reading and Happy Simming! -
