I could not even imagine! I think when my writer sim becomes wealthy, she will build a shrine to that homeless shelter! Lol!
Anna had a cooking opportunity that called for something other than hamburgers, hot dogs, or grilled salmon, so she visited those handy neighbors, the Rhodes. They nagged her the entire time about behaving inappropriately, but she soldiered on and finished her meal on time.
Jilly wanted to make Anna feel better after that struggle, so she suggested that tonight's outing should take the simselves to the cemetery. Anna wasn't on board for that, but Jilly assured her that she would meet lots of unattached sims there. She failed to mention that they would be deceased.
The simselves were getting pretty disappointed with Jilly's idea, but she assured them that it may take awhile, but they would definitely show up.
As usual, Puddin' left early to go home and do her favorite thing...garden.
Don't the lifefruit and flamefruit look cool at night?
While they were waiting, Crissy snuck around to the masoleum, where her boyfriend Buck Broke works. She was hoping for a little romance...
But that's not what she got! Buck didn't want anything to do with her! Buck completely dissed her, then left. Crissy was so upset, that she went home. What got into Buck?
In the meantime, the swinging singles all showed up. The Simselves went out there to mingle. (the orange ghost dies in a fire, and apparently, they stink)
Jilly met Vernon Carpenter, and they seemed to hit it off very well.
They talked about everything in the world.
Anna met Sam Bagley, a relative of Sherman, Sawyer's friend.
But then Lynda moved in...
So Anna moved on to this guy. (I didn't catch his name) This place is better than a singles bar!
"What do you mean, you have commitment issues?"
But Hank Ferdinand showed up to tell Jilly that not all of the dead had commitment issues. Hank took some time and got to know Jillyson.
But then the dawn came, and all hope of a hookup went up in smoke.
JIlly was sad, but vowed to be back again soon.
Then she mourned at the grave of a ghost she hadn't met. O_0
And stole herself a deathflower, all on her own.
As for the others, they decided that maybe there were still some living guys they could hook up with. Anna met Hunter Cottoneye, who was coming into the cemetery as she was leaving.
Lynda agrees, bumping into none other than Buck Broke, coming in to work.
He tells Lynda that he and Crissy are through.
Lynda takes it well.
But don't feel too bad for Crissy. By the next moring, Wealthy Tom Shallow was calling to tell her he heard she was single & wanted to talk.
A few days later, Lynda had maxed out her Handyman skill, and was ready for work! She got a part time job at the spa. (she heard the employees got a great discount!)
Instead of going straight home, she decided to explore the area around the spa, and found this guy going inside the bistro. Holy Cow, it's Buck Broke! He cleans up well!
"How can you afford this place on your salary? Did you rob a bank?"
Then Lynda, going into heartbreaker mode, hits the motherlode of menfolk. Poor Buck goes forgotten in the crowd.
(serves you right for breaking Crissy's heart!)
I had to get a shot when I saw what this guy's name was...
Bill Newbie! Could this be Bob Newbie's father, of tutorial fame?
Heck, yes!
Puddin' having maxed out her fishing skill, got a part time job at the grocery store. She's not pleased. She wants to be home gardening!
Holley also earned herself a part time job by maxing out her skill. She chose the bookstore. Her little moodlet shows she is overworked. So she decides she's going to find her way over to her new beau's house and relax a bit.
Jebediah Wilson was so happy to see her, that he cooked her dinner & brought it out to the terrace.
"That's what I love about you, Holley. You love me for ME, not for my things."
"Um, yeah. I'm not here because of your things..." *must not look at the bed, must not look at the bed...
And too tired for a woo hoo attempt, Holley finally gets her first good night's sleep.
Karima, back to work in the garden, finds a dead deathflower plant...
and revives it! At this rate, every simself will have a deathflower to carry! Good job, Karima!
Sawyer comes by to do a little gardening in his underwear. Karima says, "OK. You need to get this Sherman thing settled once and for all. You're driving us all crazy!" Sawyer hasn't been himself since Sherman Bagley called him up and asked him to meet at the gym, then stood Sawyer up.
Sawyer decided Karima was right, and decided to make plans that night to meet up with Sherman. To celebrate, he rocked out on his guitar.
And the simselves gathered around to dance.
That night, Sawyer went by the theater, and sure enough, Sherman was there.
They decided to catch a movie. Some time together in a nice, dark theater sounded perfect.
And we give Ashley one last try to find some friends. There's a amateur olympic event at the stadium, and we (OK, I) decide she might like to check it out.
Turns out Puddin' no sooner walks in the door, as the event expires.
She decides to hang around the stadium and see if she can meet some new people and fulfill her want to do that. First, she meets this gal. Take a good look at her, because in a second...
She gains about 50 pounds. Suddenly there's people everywhere, and Pudd is happy for the first time doing something else besides gardening! (the goth chic in the pic is Sherman's sis. She gets in a car before we can score an introduction.
Puddin' make a bee line for Lorie Baird, and they talk forever.
"I'm so glad I FINALLY got to have some fun today! That Jillyson never lets me have ANY fun!" HEY!!! You can just go back and fish for that!
And Sawyer finally managed to swipe something. I never saw him do it - I just got a message that something was added to my family inventory...THIS. Not the boombox from the homeless shelter, not a foosball table. THIS. Nice job, Sawyer!
And finally...we get to the end of the Homerun Derby. Sawyer, your simself only has to make out. Since you're a teen in real life, no woohoo for you! Let's see how our big three contenders who had a steady made out...
As you recall, Karima had a sleepover at Danza's. Did she score?
Denied!
Sawyer hit the theater for some make-out time. How'd that go, Sawyer?
Denied! Sherman is not a fan of PDA's! Which is weird, because he doesn't seem to mind it any other time...?
And lastley, Holley was too tired to woohoo with Jeb...
...But there's always the morning! Homerun Holley wins!
And that's it for this super long update. I now have enough money to move into the Super Duper Shack and finish the challenge. Maybe there'll be one more update for moving day. Sorry this was so long, and thanks for reading!
