12 Perfect Strangers: Week 1 Day 3

The numbers are in and these Strangersims made the Personable Skill Challenge: Vadleany, Lucy, Sofia, Tim, Amy, Nick, and Bach, congrats!

Yesterday, we ended the night with Vadleany's head in the toilet. Poor Vadleany, it just wasn't her night and just as we were wrapping up, our outside camera caught her peeing herself in front of a few of her housemates. Most embarrassing, I can imagine! She's a trooper though as she just stood there humming to herself until everyone left, then she quietly took herself to bed.

Lucy! I doubt she will cease to surprise us, we found her downstairs washing all of the dishes! She still hadn't showered, but taking it upon herself to wash every single dirty dish that her housemates had left around the kitchen and dining room really impressed us. Go Lucy! If she fixes the toilet we might just have to give her a special reward. She's starting to grow on me, just a little.

Just to make things a little more challenging for these Strangersims, if they don't fix the toilet by the end of the day we're going to take out the ones that are functioning. Let's see what they do without a working toilet. SOMEONE has got to get motivated enough to pickup a handy skill. Come on Nick, the future Tinkerer, we're rooting for you!


Did we mention that Bach is a hypochondriac? He woke up this morning forgetting where he was and now he's certain that he has alzheimer's disease and that he inherited it from his grandfather. He also thought he had Hemophilia because he dreamed that he stubbed his toe and the bleeding wouldn't stop. Thank goodness we didn't put any computers in the house or he'd be researching SimsWebMD where he'd find a ton more diseases that he could self-diagnose himself with. It would make for some entertainment though, wouldn't it?

With less than 24 hours to go before Jenni gives birth, we thought it would be fun to insert a mini-challenge, Paternal/Maternal Instincts Challenge, to get her and the household prepared for the new arrival.

We dropped off 2 babies and 2 toddlers at the front entrance, they'd be there at the house for the day: Christian, Brandie, Jedidiah, and Jonathan. They were really simsoid simbots, but the Strangersims didn't have to know that. With no cribs, high chairs, or toys for the tots, this, indeed, would be a challenge. But there are 12 young adults in the house, they can handle it.

Any interaction with the babies/toddlers will gain them 10 points, but since Doug was the first to pick one up, he got a bonus and scored 30 points. Points will be tallied at the end of the night and the one with the most amount of points will be rewarded with a day out tomorrow at the Summer Festival.

Paternal/Maternal Instincts Challenge Score Board
Jenni 50
Sam 50
Vadleany 40
Sofia 40
Doug 30
Tim 20
Amy 20
Bach 10
Lucy 10
Betti 0
Nick 0
Des 0

Jenni and Sam tied for the most points having interacted with the babies/toddlers 5 times each - we think they have good parental instincts! The toddlers and babies were returned to their makers.

Jenni went into labor very early in the morning, since she was one of the winners of the challenge, instead of giving her a day at the summer festival we provided her with a crib, and a baby swing.



Jenni gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Tanyl, he was born with the Athletic and Clumsy traits. The trauma of the birth cause Jenni to faint shortly after. She's fine now, just a little sore from hitting the ground.

Tomorrow we'll send Sam out to the festival, and we will remove the working toilets (no one bothered to fix the broken one yet).

Sim-u-later!

  1. The only way Sam will ever lose a baby/toddler challenge is if you lock him away first. :D That's the way every Sam clone has ever been.

    Looking forward to the challenge as it goes.
