Juni's Ambitions

[jillyson]

Man, I sure wish we could leave messages again! That German witch would get hers! It even shows being uploaded the day after yours! I'm sorry all your hard work got stolen, but I sure hope that doesn't stop you from sharing with the world. It's actually a compliment that someone thought so much of your lot - but the right thing to do would be to give you credit - if she was going to tweak it.

You're still a hero to us, Karima!!! {{{{{{HUGS!!!}}}}}

Maybe this will make you feel better...

I'll start with Alice. I wish I could really have her adopt Notzo. She thinks about him all the time!




Even when she's with Starla! Lol!



She finds him outside to encourage him to do well in school.



And Notzo loves her just as much! The only time he smiles is when he's with Alice!



Her she is singing to him. SHe does this all the time, all on her own. What a good mommy!

SPOILER: Click to show

I FINALLY caught a pic of the "Ewww! A Simbot!" reaction. Not nice, Starla! Remeber what happened to Not-Notzo/Vidcund for doing that...



I decide a make-over for Notzo is in order. Believe it or not, this IS his happy face!



See? The Happy Dance comes out after the make-over. Seriously - this is what he looks like happy!




But I guess that face comes in handy sometimes...
"I've got my eye on you, creep!"



"I've got my eye on you..."

Meanwhile, Donta the future baby is skilling up to reach level 10, so that he can invent a robot. His LTW is to create 3 monsters.



He's pretty close, but he's burning out, so I decide to send him to Egypt to start gathering pieces of the sarcophagus for mummy-making.




He's quite happy to make the call,




And before he knows it, he finds himself in Egypt, seeking tomb-raiding adventures.




While he's there, he stops to mourn at the grave of Naima (Ahkman's ghost-friend who drowned) and Fazwa in the next grave. Before I knew it, he'd stolen both graves! I let him keep them, figuring I've got my ghosts ready to go!



He gets a look at a finished sarcophagus, but doesn't have nearly enough pieces gathered for his own yet. Plus, it's going to take forever to gather those canopic jars, and even then, it doesn't always work. Maybe there's another way...



As he runs out of time for this trip, he gets the customary camel pic.



And learns to be a snake charmer. He loves this thing, whipping it out wherever he's at. Here, he's at the store.

SPOILER: Click to show

The first ghost to make an appearance is Fazwa. She died of starvation, and cooks every time she visits the house. No sign of Naima yet, but I'm thinking it's time she got to be a real girl again.


He gets to know Fazwa, in the hopes that a high relationship will get him the opportunity from the science lab to ressurect a ghost.



Finally, Naima makes an appearance.



And Donta makes his move.



GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!! (A nod to the World Cup!)



Just look at those faces.



We have a relationship! Donta just needs that opportunity, and once she's a playable, she can learn to cook and make Ambrosia.

SPOILER: Click to show

Donta made the headstones a nice little shrine in the meantime.



I send him on trips in the time machine he made to see what he brings back.



This time it's a book. They bring back lots of books that you can't buy.



I also have him mining for Palladium and pink diamonds, both of which he'll need to make a robot.



And here's a shot of the detonator they use to blow stuff up. They find old furniture in the junkyard all the time. They can take it home & restore it (not really - it costs way less than a new one, and it's just a click-poof.) or they can blow it up for scrap. Since Donta has several of these end tables, it's gonna blow!

SPOILER: Click to show

This was just to show you that Edith is no longer officially the ugliest sim. (Or Bunny Curious, for that matter) I can't remember her name, but I think it's Lydia Smith-Jones, or Jones-Brown, or something like that. Donta bumped into her at the graveyard, trying to find Bunny Curious' headstone. (no luck)



After a trip to the future, where he gets cool new future duds,



It's back to work on his simbot.



And it's a girl! Meet Electra. (I didn't get to choose. I was hoping for a boy this time.) I check his LTW, and we are officially one monster down, 2 to go.



Donta waits for Naima every night, and tells her he can't wait to bring her back from the dead. WHy won't that science lab call??? I suspect the problem may be that a sim has to die on the lot.



So I create this lovely specimen, Felicia Dumas, and promptly kill her off. Naima HATES her.

SPOILER: Click to show

While we wait for the science lab opportunity, I decide to cheat and buydebug myself a cursed sarcophagus. I send Electra there every night. She gets the athletic skills, she gets the "I feel funny" messages, but no mummy action. What she does get is...THE CALL FROM THE LAB!!! SInce I have 3 ghosts, I figure I can bring back Naima and save the others for Donta to bring back for monster number two.



Naima is officially playable.



After a small celebration, it's back to work for Donta, and time for Naima to start skilling those cooking points to make her Ambrosia.



But they make time for some woo hoo in the time machine. I give them a "try for baby in the past".



But this time, all it spits out is Donta.



Electra is my first Simbot breakdown. Donta is given the option to repair, and also to reprogram. (He doesn't get to re-do her LTW, which is to be a firefighter. I think I'm going to save enough lifetime points to change that one.)



While Naima skills, she eats a lot of what she cooks, whether she's hungry or not. Hello, magic treadmill.




A newly thin Naima stes off on an opportunity. Which one, you ask? Why, the SCIENCE LAB, of course! So now every sim in the house EXCEPT for Donta has gotten the call. I let Naima bring back Fazwa, leaving Felicia for Donta.

SPOILER: Click to show

FINALLY!!!! Donta gets the call and brings Felicia back. But what's this? My monster counter is still at one! Ghosts don't count? The LTW said mystical! ARGH!!!!!



OK. Don't panic. We still have the Cursed Sarcophagus. Why don't you have a little nap, Felicia?



Success!!! We have a ghost-mummy! This should cover the LTW where it mentions combined monsters, right? WRONG!!! Monster counter stands at ONE!!! Looks like I have to go the long way around for the "Summon mummy" option. If I do all that & find out it doesn't count, You'll hear me scream across the ocean.



Well, I'm still going to hook up Naima with some ambrosia. She finally hits level 10 in cooking, reads the recipie, and gets to cooking.



With a moment of panic when Felicia tries to sneak in and take it, Naima sits down & has her last meal as a ghost.



We have ignition...




We have lift-off!!! Naima is now a real girl! We'll get to her make-over tomorrow, but I'll leave you with this...



...she's still FLOATING?

Love all the picspam Jill! Lydia Smith-Jones looks like the wicked Witch of the West. Wow, I've never even made Ambrosia. So did she stop floating? Is the mummy the second 'creature'? If so what is the third?!

[holleyberry]

OMG! I L O V E Donta's Playbot shirt! LOL!
Great Pic Spam. I am WAY to tired to dsay anything more right now. Goodnight!

[valpre1983]

Love the picspam Jill. Donta is so HOT *swoon* I'm glad you're doing this; it's going to make it easy for my Stefanie to achieve her LTW. She has the same LTW as Donta and she hasn't made a single monster

[Tina ☺]

I just had a look at pages one and two... awesome stuff, Jill! ;D Although I don't know if it makes me happier to see the pics, or more depressed because I can't afford to get the game right now... *sniff* lol

I'll be popping back in soon to page three to check out some more of Juni's antics!

[Aussie Karima]

;D Thanks Jilly for the uplift!

~ NOT A Hi JACK! ~
~ I got a message on my Sims2 page,that someone had stolen my lot!One of my friends from the Sims2 community that followed me over to S3! He was outraged at the fact,& he said there was no mention of my name,only that she had recreated the lot from Sims2!
Strange that we are all reduced to using our Sims2 account to communicate Sims3 stuff!What the hell is Electronic Arts scared of? The option is there,but unusable for us,only usable for them!

SPOILER: Click to show

~ Thank you again, I love this!
~ Do you think that making the ghosts playable, takes them out of the running for the LTW?
~ Donta is a hunny!I wonder why he got spat out of the Time machine?
~ All my playable ghosts walk,so I was surprised to see your Sim floating after she was changed!Though the children try out their ghost traits & get themselves stuck some were, & I will have to move a wall or fence to get them unstuck,but if I miss one, they can do it during the normal ghost appearance times,I had one eight year old stuck at the park(opposite the police station?)until the ghost hours!Then he floated through the fence walked over to the footpath & rode his bike home! lol!My playables can float or walk,but I think they prefer to walk! I do not have the hack for making your ghosts walk, only, the one for 'No More EEK! It's a Ghost!'(And they walked before I put that in!) ;D
~ I will be next, with exploring this 'Hidden' trait Tattooing!WHY hidden EA? And then say nothing about it?

[jillyson]

Thanks, Guys! I've put Donta up on the ex - I hope his playbot shirt comes with him! It's a part of a set of five - I can't remember the site I got them from, but I can upload them if you want them. (He may show up in CAS named Talson - I changed it back to DOnta on the upload screen, but I don't think I fixed it in the basic screen.) I changed his name so I wouldn't have 2 Donta Curious' in the same game. I figure when old Donta kicks it, I'll change Talson's name back to Donta. (I heard the name Talson on TV while I was playing.)

I haven't found much more on the tattoo artist hidden career except what we already found - that you have to purchase the equipment and work from home until you gain high enough skill, or work in the Stylist career until you hit level 10, at which time you can then give tattoos.

I have some very minor spam, as I didn't get the playtime I had hoped for this weekend.

Here's Naima's make-over. I kept her hair short, since it was short in it's original form, and gave her thinner eyebrows. I didn't add any make-up, because I think she's so pretty already. (I've also uploaded her to the ex, along with Donta)



Since she became real, I had Donta pop the question, since he'd been rolling the want.
ALl I can assume is that ghosts don't count as monsters. Since it was his chance card that let him get Felicia resurrected, I thought it should've counted. And since she was a ghost that he'd resurrected, I thought she'd count as the mummy, too, but no luck.




I had Fwazia (yes, I found out I was spelling her name wrong!) eat some ambrosia, too.





This one needed some make-up to cover the lines on her face. She's only an adult, but her face sure looked elder! Once I finished her make-over, I kicked her and Felicia the ghost-mummy out. If they don't count for the want, I don't need to play them. (bitter much?)

So it looks like the only one that counts so far is the robot. I really don't feel like making all those trips to Egypt to collect canopic jars and sarcophagus fragments that you need to "summon" a mummy. I wouldn't mind if it worked every time, but to spend all those hours on it to find out it didn't work & you have to try again...well...I'm just not up to that right now. So I move out of Donta's house for now. I'll get back to him, but not for awhile.

SPOILER: Click to show

This is Circe Beaker, my stylist. She was a sim I got back when the base game came out with some kind of special offer from Germany. (before they fubarred our ability to share cool stuff)

Her husband, Loki, isn't pictured here. I'm trying to get him to be an evil doctor - to perform experiments and other bad stuff they claim you can do with the medical career. (since it seems you can't pervert the science career.) I haven't really done anything with him yet.



This is how the game changed her looks for when she goes to work. Here' she got a mission to give this woman 2 everyday style changes. I failed the mission, because I took it to mean that she wanted clothes AND shoes. What it wanted was for me to select the option for a second everyday outfit and give her two. Oops~!



Next, she's supposed to give Shark Raquet new facial hair so he can win a facial hair contest at work.



To be successful, you're supposed to talk to the customer about fashion and get a sense of what they like. I don't know what they were talking about here, but multiple size jokes come to mind...



While she was working on Shark, Notzo and the Greenwood boy came in & Marc Brandt gave them both make-overs.

Circe blew Shark's make-over, too, although I thought she did a great job. I don't know what I did wrong there. I gave him a "chin strap" and whiskers. He looks great, and I thought I had a pic, but I guess I didn't take it.



To gain skill, which they say will give you more successful make-overs, I have her make-over the only other person around. The tattoo artist. He was pleased, and her green career experience bar went up.



I found that when she does sketches at home, her bar goes up as well. Plus, I think you need to accumulate sketches for later career moves.
Also, you're supposed to take picutes of the make-overs you do with your cell phone. These go into your portfolio. I keep forgetting to do this. They gave me a message to do it the first time, but never again, so I need to remember it on my own.

SPOILER: Click to show

I remembered that, back at the main house, I forgot to follow up on the Woohooium. I have Juni and Astral put the moves on each other, which came quite easily.



They get down to business pretty quick, and in case you don't notice the end table...



The bar of Woohooium is glowing and spewing hearts, just like the bed.

That's it for now. My plan is to follow around Shea on his medical career next time, but I want to age up Alisha and Cosmo before I move from the main house.

[Aussie Karima]

Your second spoiler needs fixing Jilly!EDIT: It's OK, it is fixed!

~ I love the heads up,on the Stylist career,Chris has just about mastered the Easel-research Fashion!(or what ever it is called?)she has just about every sketch, in her backpack, as well as a second set on the walls,she has just about maxed art because of the Easel thingy!next I will get her to become a Stylist,though it does look hard!Then reach level ten of that career,so she can finally become the Tattoo artist!She is practicing at home on her boyfriend!Thank goodness for the take of all tattoos option,so she can keep practicing on him,over & over!
~ I have that stone,Matt on his many dumpster dives found it,in a bin,also a pink diamond & another one that is suppose to cure you from curses or spells?(It is a very pretty stone,with a shimmering rainbow on it that moves all the time!)
~ I like the make-overs,they suit them,I noticed that a lot of Adult Sims have very bad wrinkles!

[joandsarah]

SPOILER: Click to show

Lol this Circe Beaker doesn't seem at all threatening.

Both Naim and Fwazia look really good.

[jillyson]

No, she's not too threatening at all! Even Loki's traits were nice - I had to give him some evilness in the hopes of making him behave that way in the doctor career.

That stone is called a soulpeace, Karima. That's the stone that cures a mummy's curse. If you play WA, you definitely want to keep that one in his inventory!

I love Naima - she's so pretty. She actually didn't have any traits when she became playable. I don't think she had any when I uploaded her to the ex, either. I added some later, as she did come with the LTW of being an explorer. I loved that because it's how I wrote her in the Bill & Sookie WA spam. So I chose traits that would help her with that.

I think I'll have to have her make some babies with Donta. I just have to decide if it'll be past or present! (no more future!)

[Pixx]

...Wow, people steal houses and upload them as their own? Well it's a sims website, on TS2 people got off on down rating others...what is wrong with some people!!!

Your house looks very nice Karima, we know that it's yours.

Yay for the update that I'll try to read in 10 minutes

[Aussie Karima]

Thank you Pixx, I am waiting on a reply from the S3 forum as it has been offered as an Alien house for an Alien Hood!My two alien Sims as well!

~ Link to PLAYBOT T-shirt,pretty please, Jilly!



~PS~ That German girl I asked to friend me,for some strange reason, refused,guilty much!!!!

[holleyberry]

I must of missed to WooHooium That or I read it drunk Where did you get it?
Great PicSpam. So sorry about the monster creator. I wonder what exactly you have to do.

[amylu1988]

All caught up now Jilly! Wow, there's some interesting monsters in TS3, and all the picspam was great. I love Circe's hair, and the stylist career sounds difficult to move up in, I'd be forever forgetting to take photos!

Yay for the woohooium, it looks really cool and all glowy. ;D And Naima's really pretty, she looks great with the make-over.

[Pixx]

LOL@German Guilt mwahaha!
