living la vida... trailer part 1
TRANSCRIPT
Meet our founder: Parker Trail.Yay for me being creative, I know.Parker doesn't have any fancy background, he is just a Sim looking for a nice trailer to live.He is romance/pleasure, likes blonde cooks and dislikes well-employed Sims.He dreams of having 20 simultanous lovers, which will probably not happen, the hood is too small.His stats are 2/8/6/6/3.
Enough with the basic bla bla, let's see what happens.
Parker moved into this „luxerious“ trailer, havving almost no interiour, no furnitureand only $33 left in his pockets.
See what I mean?It's almost empty.
But it should be totally following the rules.Thanks to fuzzy-spork for this challenge! Check it out if you don't know it yet:http://fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com/54535.htmlEnough with the advertisement.
How is Parker?
What do you do when you have nothing to do at all?Have a beer. Before 9am.Allright, Trailer Trash, I know.
Papergirl Candance Dickersen is now warned.A poorly dressed man with a hairstyle that's even worse who is smelling like he had a beerfor breakfast?Run girl, run!
I don't use InTeen, so don't worry.
She's only aspiration fodder- he met a new Sim.
Somehow, Parker convinced her to stay for a while.I really dont want to know what she is telling him.
His welcome-wagon arrives.All three Sims are playables:The shy guy in the background is Benjamin Weis Jr., a knowledge Sim living with his father, Benjamin Weis.The pregnant woman is Jutta Müller, who lives with her perfect family.The red-head is Natasja Nachtschwärmer, a romance Sim, who is trying to live from date presents.
Romance Sims seem to smell each other.
„Yeah, I had a beer for breakfast.“„That sounds like a good idea!“
Ehm, well.
Candance takes her chance and leaves.
I'm not surprised by this. Not at all.
So why not have a date right here?
Ben Weis Jr. doesn't seem pleased.
Just a short interruption to greet a townie, Colleen Barnes.Her phone number might become usefull once Parker gets a phone.
It's almost romantic with those butterflies.
The date goes pretty good.
DREAM DATE!!!
I can't wait to see the present she might bring.
Parker socializes with his neighbours. Does he really tell them he had been in prison???
After his guests left, he looks for a job.It's pretty dark, he had no money for lights.
Later that night, Natasja (whom I always want to call Silvana and I don't know why)Sneaks by...
… and by again.There seems to be a problem...
So she just leaves some roses.
Selling the roses meant enough money for a phone.Now Parker can call all the Sims he knows.$13 left in the bank.
He interrupts his sleep to greet this stray dog, Flora.
Flora leaves before he can adopt her, but that's fine.He wouldn't have money for her bed anyway.
It's Tuesday.Time for the first bills.
I think I haven't shown a close-up of Parker yet.
So enjoy him- fresh out of bed and not smelly.
Digging for treasures in your pajama? Check.
Hey, a new townie. This is Frances Quinn.
Of course Parker has to greet her.
And he immediatly realizes that he thinks she is everything beside hot.Oh dear.
Again, no job in the paper.
$60 bill, $13 bank. What shall he do?
Another dream date with Natasja should bring another bunch of roses to sell.
Parker's OTH is fitness, so gaining enthusiasm is easy and free.
The plan workes fine.
Parker can pay his bills even before they become yellow.
Better luck today. There is a job in culinary, Parker becomes a dishwasher.
Drinking beer before first day of work? Check.
Parker gets the carpool without any problems and he is still platinum from his dream date.
So despite being drunk, he gets promoted!
He gets an easel because his next job level needs a creativity point and he can sellthe pictures in the yard sale.
He also gets a table and a chair. $6 left.
Now we need a spouse. His three bolter Natasja isn't legit because she's playable :(
Another stray dog.
I don't remember his name, but Parker tried to befriend him before he ran off.
New bills...
Parker get's to work right in time and in good mood.
He get's his second, and last promotion.
This means a double bed for woohoo...
A sofa, that can also be used for woohoo...
And an enlarged poch, that cannot be used for woohoo, at least, not in The Sims 2.
What he needs now is a spouse, that can be used for... you know, children and stuff.For woohoo, he already has Natasja.
We have no Wallmart in the hood, yet, but a roller rink is also fine, I think.
At least, there should be some female sims around.
And there is an arcade game.
Yeah, a blonde townie.
Go for it, Parker. She might become the mother (of some) of your children!
Her name is Paule Collier and Parker actually thinks she's hot.
A date seems like a good idea.
It reveals knowledge aspiration.
The blond, pink-loving lady is Silke Freigeist, my artist and one of my favourite Sims.
This is when I realized that Paula sells the drink to cure Plantsims.This means garden club- and only $1 cash.She's a 1-bolter and all of this screams NO! to me.So they have a boring, not romantic date, and I investigate the place.
Niklas Neubauer (playable) meets the Unsavatoury Charlatan.Niklas is Nils' husband and part of my (only) gay couple in the (fairly new) neighborhood.
Look what we have here. A good wizard.Usally I have witches in all my hoods.
Meet Beate Messner, who is ALSO heartfarting over Parker.Beate is a mother of (currently) three kids with three different men (CAS made).
ALL Sims on this lot are either male, playable or boring.
Silke starts stalking Parker. Creepy.
And this lot needs a ceiling.
Natasja is all about Parker.
What I haven't told you...Parker is quite the neat freak, even though he has only 2 neat points.
Back at „home“, he is digging for yard sale stuff.
He hasn't kissed for a while, so he decides to head out after work.
I decidet he should check out „Doc Edgars Treff“ (which has another name in English games, but I don't remember the name).
He can see the lot from his trailer, and they sell beer.
(And this lot also needs a makeover. Who would like to eat the burgers in the snow duringthe winter?
Of course, Silke is here.
She gets her date with Parker, but she immediately ends it to chat up another Sim.Oh, those artists...
Well, let's pretend this is because of her own creepy stalker, who called every day,until they had a date and woohooed.He never called again until now (true ingame story).
Nathaniel Cox, evil warlord.Cockroaches. I missed them... NOT!
Kristi Craig is another townie.
The guy in the background is Matti Frei, one of my hippie siblings.
Oh Parker...
Parker talks to Nils Neubauer.You have seen his husband Niklas before.Nils is the one I might play as bisexual.
Please stop everything to meet another townie.Judy Smith.Judy clearly doesn't look like someone, who would move into a trailer to me,But otherwise her clothes are only H&M and let's just see what happens.
1-bolt attraction!!!She's legit and has recessive genes, just like Parker.
Judy offers him a promotion.She can't understand why he is so shocked. I can.Parker has to quit his job now.
Judy, you'd better become his wife and be awesome...
Parker quits his job to avoid the promotion.
Later, he invites Judy over for a date.
Let's make her pay for trying to make other lives better.(Fine, I feel starting bad for being angry)
Pink hearts for Judy...
… and for Parker.It's a dream date!
Judy is allowed to enjoy her last day living somewhere else, pack her things (and bring a date present?).
Parker looks for a new job, but there is no offer.And it's winter. 6 days of winter.Yeah -.-
Parker also has 40 days of adulthood left, I forgot to take out my age mod.I think I'll take it out and correct the ages with SimPE.
It's sunday, Judy arrives and she seems to be wearing her Halloween costume.Maybe she's potential trailer trash after all.
Judy moves in, shocking her friend.
And shocking me- she brings $12000 with her!This means a doublewide trailer and enough room for the second generation.
So much room... Most of my Sims live in smaller houses.
A large, roofed front porch.
A smaller porch in the background.
What's new?They got a pond, a small garden (covered with snow), a sprinkler, a place for the yard sale,lights, a TV, a bookshelf for Judy, a stereo, a rug, a dresser, another chair, a second bath,and another kitchen counter.$635 left, enough for a party keg and a bed.
Judy's inventory was full of expensive stuff.I kept the arcade game, I could not imagine the Trails needing a piano, an expensivemirror, an aquarium or a bottle of champaign, and I didn't want to keep the cheap flower.
This is going to be an interesting yardsale!
Judy has to quit her job as a General.
After a quick makeover, she fits in quite well.
What a lovely couple...
Next round:Was there a lullaby or do they have to keep trying. (I'm sure Parker wouldn't mind)
I hope for Gen2, a wedding party and a romantic spring.
