Johnny escapes the madness by finding his way to one of the two beds in the house and settling in with a good book.
Steve doesn’t even bother looking for a bed — he just claims the sofa. He’s been there all day anyway. For some reason, he sleeps with his eyes open. Maybe so he won’t miss any hot babes walking by.
Poor Delores. Everything has gone wrong. “Why, Aunt Cerise? Why did you leave me this house? I’m not strong enough!”
And then…just when she thought it couldn’t get worse, it does.
At least she has company.
Just as Ben is about to drown himself in a bowl of cereal, he hears a horn honking outside and realizes it’s his carpool.
“#$*@#* four o’ clock *#$$@%*!!!”
And off he goes, Mr. Stinky Golf Caddy Man.
Delores wakes up all of a sudden. Is it morning? Did she miss her carpool? Why is her steak covered with drool?
“Ohmygod,” she thinks. “I’m a complete failure. How did I think we’d all manage with one bathroom, two beds, and a creaky old stove? What was I thinking?”
Just then, she hears a honk, followed by a little whir of a siren. It’s her carpool! She didn’t miss it! Quickly, she changes into her EMT uniform and heads out to the ambulance. It’s a beautiful sunny day, and there’s Pegasus! She waves to him, feeling suddenly chipper. Her life is beginning.
In the house, Johnny awakes from his restful sleep in the bed and pours himself a bowl of Alien-Os (with Crunchberries!).
“I like this house,” he thinks to himself. “It’s got real…potential.”
Ooh, you’re doing the prosperity challenge, too? Isn’t it so cool and fun and junk? :D My Sims in it who began as Teens are just hitting Adulthood. Their maturity is hitting me like a ton of bricks.
Anyway… Cool! She has a HOUSE! Hee. I like that line. XD Oh, wait. “They have no idea.” That one wins over having a HOUSE! That one made me all… LAUGHTASTIC!
But… most of your Sims had a Niceness score of 5+?! You… are TEH LUCKS! … my brother’s Maple Story is rubbing off on me. Sorry.
Waitaminutewaitaminutewaitaminute. Side ponytails aren’t beloved by all? Okay. Time to change my look. And the look of all of my beverage glasses. (I thought they looked so good, too.)
Teehee. Oh, those Sim romance novels. Remington is such… a star of them. On the cover. See him, there? Hee. Silly Remington London. All the ladies love him.
That could turn into some kind of rhyme thing. Like with Georgie Porgie.
Oh, man. I just love Pegasus to bits and pieces already! I mean, he wants to be my friend! Waving!
Ben has dreams! It is a revelation. But, hey. If he can party at 4AM, he can carry golf clubs at 4AM, right?
…right?
I mean, it’s like dancing.
The leetle beety golden plaque! It’s not the kind you brush away, you know. *nod* Ladies like the kind that is unbrushable! Steve teaches me things already. IloveyouSteve.
(Wow, his Romance aspiration is really taking effect on me. *does that swooning thing*)
Hmm. That’s really weird! I had a Sim couple who started immediately being all kissing over each other, when I started up the PC, too. They so rarely do that in my game, yet…
That is so coincidental is is nearly frightening.
Like hospitals. Creepy ol’ hospitals! YOU ARE SO CREEPY DELORES! What with your creepy house and creepystinky chair!
Creep. >_>
Ee, little typo on page two (I made the exact same one- thank goodness for backspace): “two many cooks” instead of “too many cooks.” Maybe there are two chefs too many?
Oh, dear. Theraputic cleaning for Delores, ruined! RUINED! Sigh. Man, though. Their shower has no walls. Must have been so used to the big ol’ group showers in college.
Privacy is overrated! They already know this, though. What with the people looking in their bathroom windows. They don’t mind.
Eeep. Everything! So amok! Poor Delores-the-creepy! Her aunt died, she had an accident, and she started a fire.
She probably needs to get some quality sleep. And a shower. Ew.
Steve’s sleeping on the sofa is SPORKING CREEPY. I have hereby dubbed the Cromwell house “Creepyton … house.” Let it be known in the dells!
The DELLS!
Just remember, Stinkygolfcaddyman. It’s like dancing. In the SOULL.
I wonder why Pegasus wasn’t waving back? The monster! He’s changed since the day before, hasn’t he?! Oh, Pegasus! Stay the sameee! I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND!
Are the strawberries the berries that are crunchy in question? Because if so, then… they are also creepy. Creepy strawberries.
This house has everything (that is creepy)! :D
Oooh a Jen Challenge! Heh, sounds fun, but hard! All those adults in one house, with 2 beds! How will they survive??
Im looking forward to reading more of this, but I do look forward to more Brayton updates! I love the Braytons :)

(My game messed up – again! So I had to reinstall – again!! So my legacy which I was determined to complete is kinda gone – again! Im really annoyed about it, but I managed to back up my prosperity challenge. I’ve deleted my blog, since Im really not good at keeping it updated and stuff, but I may try again in future. So, since you have the link to my blog on the side of yours, you could delete it since it doesn’t exist anymore…so..thanks for listening to my ramblings :) )
Ooo! That was good!
Very nice, Jen! I don’t know about anyone else, but I am curious to hear the rules of your Jen Challenge. The members of the house are all really interesting. Poor Delores! And Johnny is a cutie. ;)
Ahhhhhh….*sigh of relief for update*. I consistently like your stories Jen. Thanks for updating! :)
This is awesome! :D Please do share what rules you’ve come to so far, Jen ma’am? I see I’m not alone in wanting to play this too.
(*creepy chant* One of us one of us ooga ooga one of us) ;)
*cracks up at Blu* XD
A very interesting twist on autonomous households. I like the bit about the magically migrating back door. ;) I’m glad you are enjoying the mythic name hack. I hope other people do too. I can’t wait to see where this story goes!
Wow, that’s cool, great update, I hope you have fun with your Jen challenge, I love it so far.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Another great one, Jen. My blog is on full roll now, I have many updates…just not many readers. : ( but such is the fate of all new blogs so I’m hoping it will pick up. Keep ’em coming.
(P.S. is it getting you out of your slump?)
Thought I’d leave my blog address because I accidentally left it out in the last one. Sorry :)
http://www.simplysims.blogspot.com …..even though its in the thing above this. Sheesh I’m spacey today. Thanks for putting up with me everyone! (Not that you have a choice but….oh geez I’m rambling again.)
I can’t wait to see what happens with this house! :D
Hey guys, thanks for the comments. I wasn’t sure how this would fly, but if you’re enjoying it, I’ll keep posting updates. I’m having fun playing it, and writing about it is a nice break from my other Sims stories. Maybe after a few more updates, I’ll post the rules — I’m still tweaking them as I play. :-)
Blu – Yeah, I’m doing the Prosperity Challenge, too. It’s fun, but unfortunately 90% of the Sims I created for it have low Niceness scores, so I’m not too fond of any of them! There is one Nice family that I adore — a grandpa and his little granddaughter (although she just became a teen so she’s not so little anymore) — I’ll probably keep playing just so I can marry her off to some nice townie boy (none of the meanies deserve her). Elsewhere in the news…Blu? You are too cool for words. TOO COOL.
Kath – I deleted your link as you requested, but I really hope you start up another blog in the future. It was a really cool blog. And I’m sorry to hear about the computer troubles — those always suck. :-(
Katie – Your blog is great so far! Just keep posting, you will soon gain loyal readers. As for my slump, I’m having fun so far, we’ll see how long it lasts! Haha.
Well hey fancy seeing this I love how they are all living in that house and my Gawd are you insane? :lol: This is just too funny.
@__@ I love the picture with the two people sleeping in their food. It was fun.
