trailer park challenge 0.3: dolly sue

Welcome back to my Trailer Park Challenge. Last time, Dolly Sue got all four of her pregnancies done and even saw a couple survive to become teens.

This time around, Dolly Sue finds herself in more trouble than she knows what to do with.

First off, Dolly Sue invites Al E. Cat over and mends some fences.

Fall in love with Al E.? Check.Con him into babysititng? Check!

Dolly Sue went to the area Walmart and got groceries.

Then she got nailed in the photo booth by Felix Cat.

Dolly Sue thanked Nathan Kettle for the mass points of being Make Out victim #10.

Dolly Sue then decided to hit the energizer and mend fences with Steve who was walking by.

Since she still had a babysitter, she took off back to Walmart.

Steve must have followed her because he came up and kissed her, which set off Simon.

A rare platonic moment in the photo booth, which is how our cover photo started. Felix took exception to having an innocent photo taken.

Falling back in love with Steve netted her about 5,000 more points. Then they made a date of it.

She arrives to see that Al E. was potty training Bubba Roy. Dolly Sue was glad that he was able to get a little bit of it started.

Dolly Sue took off yet again. After balling both Murphy Kettle and Hank Mercer, Dolly Sue completed her LTW of Woohooing 20 sims. I actually had no clue it was going to happen and missed all the shots because I thought she had about 5 to go by my calculations.

Dolly Sue took the teens off to the bowling alley and then when the younger ones got home from school, she took them fishing and let them spend precious money to have some food.

She hit the energizer (yet again) and finished up Bubba Roy’s potty training.

Betty Lou, the only legitimate child, aged up to teen. She was sad that her mom refused to let her dad come, but she got over it pretty fast.

Betty Lou rolled Popularity. Her LTW is to never Become the Law. Which reminds me, I forgot about the other two. Billy Joe does not want to be the Hand of Poseidon and Maggie Rae would hate to become Head of the SCIA.

Oddly enough, Dolly Sue and Steve both rolled engagement and marriage wants during a recent date. I had not planned on her having a third marriage to fail, but what the hell. It’s not like I’m following the “No playable’s” rule anyway, right?

It takes both Dolly Sue and Steve to keep Maggie Rae from death. Billy Joe is a close second, but he is able to keep himself fed at least. Right now, I could easily see Maggie running away.

With Bubba Roy’s birthday creeping up (like in one day or less), Dolly Sue finally got around to doing his talking and walking.

Steve moved in with an ungodly amount of cash. The trailer is now a double wide, another trailer with two bedrooms, two bath and a kitchen was built, a fixer upper car was bought, a garden was started and a pond was made. He still has an ungodly amount of money.

Betty Lou is the only one, so far, to not learn to study as a child. It doesn’t really matter though, this is basically how Dolly Sue gets their homework done. Betty Lou had a total of 4 homework piles and was about to bring down the social worker when she aged up with her D-.

Lori Belle was pretty excited to speak to her mom for the first time since she was a toddler. She also got rid of her homework help want.

Now that there are two adults again, I felt it was time to get the dogs. Abbey joined the family first.

Then Bubba Roy aged up adorably.

Curses! I forgot to put her on birth control Ugh!

Yay for summer! Steve had nothing in his inventory, so only a couple of rocks were added to the yard sale. Due to her knocked up state, she hit the energizer for a long day of register tending. Steve is permaplat also, but I think it’s because his aspiration meter being filled. He will take on the selling side of things.

Even a rainy day did not keep the women away. Steve just had to smile and they threw out hearts, stars and money.

By 11am, the rain was gone and the reviewer gave her his stamp of approval.

By 3pm, Steve had a gold badge and dazzled the hell out of everyone.At 7:02, the yard sale ended. They made it to level 3 and sold about $800 worth of junk.

Overview of the doublewide side. The porch is covered for the dogs. Yes, dogs. Moody joined the family during a break in the yard sale.

Moody says that pet beds are not good enough for him and stole one of the spare ones in the singlewide.

This slide is only to show Abbey in the background playing with Taz Cat. Completely happy and green with several people (including Maggie) lined up to play with her. In three Sim minutes you will never see her again.

She ran away

First Dolly Sue and then Steve called and reported her missing, but after a couple of days, there was still no word.

The kids find get their fun any way they can find it at this point.

I don’t know how she does it, but Lori Belle, resident tub pirate, is always platinum. She may not always be happy, but at least she is not half dead like her siblings.

This is significant for the starving teen and the fact that her fun is maxed for the first time ever. I am calling the pool table a success just for that.

Poor Moody. With Abbey missing, he is lavished with attention, whether he wants it or not.

During the remodel, I had about 30 homeworks in my way. I (on purpose) deleted them all. It only took 2 days for Maggie to think she was smart with her first A+. Dolly Sue did not tell her otherwise and Maggie was happy for the first time ever and for a whole 20 minutes.

Billy Joe, on the other hand, has had an A+ since elementary school. Dolly Sue is very proud of him.

Dolly Sue gets Bubba Roy all squared away with his homework. It’s Saturday morning and she has all weekend to help the others too.

Not mentioned, Dolly Sue worked Culinary the whole time. She did not go to work after level 3 though. Instead, she used up all of her sick days (10 of them) and then switched over to Slacker.

It’s time! Hopefully it is a singleton.

Steve put his foot down and absolutely refused another hillybilly name. Poor Bubba Roy, was all he was thinking. So this little guy is Steve Jr.

Steve has a lot of cooking points and he is what keeps this family from starving to death. The teens have never opened up the fridge except to play on it.

I do not allow them to stuff their face and have a hack to put a stop to that nonsense.

Bubba Roy ran out to greet Dolly Sue, who returns with her last Slacker promotion. Next up, Criminal.

The job was listed Sunday morning and off she went after buying the requisite two gnomes.

The night before, Steve and Dolly both agreed that the romance department was closed. They used the Renuyu thingy and both became family/grilled cheese sims.

Steve never played favorites when he was a romance sim and tucked them in day or night. Family seemed the right choice for him and he still tucks them in all the time.

Steve: “Come back, Kai! We need you!”

Kai did not listen, but we have one more day to either adopt a stray or call the pound to replace Abbey.

I did not read that I could direct her through 5 skilling commands a day, but she did not do too bad on her own. I think the trampoline was a good thing for her.

This is the face of a girl who just realized that she is escaping this madhouse. Buh-Bye Maggie Rae, do well at college!

With all the other kids starting up bank accounts, Dolly Sue made sure to send Maggie Rae her portion. She got extra for being the first Dickson to go to college.

Then my game crashed after saving, so this will be it for this update. I will not be having an heir poll, since this is not being advertised anywhere. I will roll a dice and choose that way. You’ll see that next time!
