More Awesome Than You!

EMMATOPIA: A City Without Bathrooms.

RULES:
1. The Challenge Sim (henceforth referred to as EMMA), available here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,2129.0.html), must be implemented according to the given stats. Use the Lot Debugger to select the appropriate One True Hobby.
2. EMMA has eyes only for GOOPY! (Available here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/awesomeland/stuff/goopy.zip) EMMA must not engage in any romance or marry anyone other than GOOPY! Goopy is, as everyone knows, Libra (stock archetype), Romance. Secondary aspirations and other attributes may be chosen by the player. Goopy is not required to remain faithful to EMMA, of course. Goopy may be installed as a townie or a playable sim in a lot, but EMMA must encounter Goopy naturally, using only means normally available in the game.
3. EMMA must live in the BATHROOMLESS HOUSE, available here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,11436.0.html). Emma may never move to a different house.
4. You may not perform gross structural modifications of EMMA's house or yard. The house must remain visibly indistinguishable from an altitude of 100 meters. No bathrooms or bathroom fixtures may be added!
5. Emmatopia has NO BATHROOMS. Therefore, EMMA may not visit any neighborhood lot that has a bathroom! No terlets, no showers. And no CS Shrub. Those weren't around in the days of EMMA's house. EMMA may, however, vacation to places that have bathrooms, because they are not in Emmatopia. Due to the lack of desire for anyone to actually visit Emmatopia, however, vacations must be scheduled at maximum duration in advance because no one normally flies to Emmatopia.
6. All craftables must be manufactured by EMMA or her family. You may not buy any craftables.
7. All reward objects must be earned! No preplacing them from collections!
8. Emma's family must remain in time-sync if they leave the lot for college.
9. No meditation for EMMA!
10. Challenge ends when EMMA dies.

BONII:

+10 points if you play this challenge fridgelessly, because EMMA didn't lock her fridge, so pillagers stole all her food.
+1 point per continuous day in the longest streak of EMMA not pissing herself, maximum of 30 points.

If I actually had the game I would attempt this.

Pray, what did Emma do to deserve this? :D

So GET IT, Stupid Pedobait. Why are you even ON a site for a game you don't even HAVE?

Dunno, for socialising? Interesting conversation? Procrastination? MOAR FIGHT? Getting told I'm stupid on a daily basis? Who WOULDN'T want to be here!

   Woohoo !  I'm off to a fantastic start, a score of -1 and i haven't even placed the lot or made Emma yet.  ;)

Kitchen sinks are OK?

Poor Emma. I'm sure she didn't deserve all of this.

(I'm wondering how, when it takes about 8 days on the longest run towards going on holiday--wow, that made no grammatical sense whatsoever...--, we'll be able to keep Emma from wetting herself on a daily basis. Surely that's physically impossible for 8 days? Or 9, or however many it is to pre-book a holiday. And how will we stop other sims from doing the same? Surely that's impossible?)

Kitchen sinks are acceptable, yes. Sims cannot pee in the sink, however.

Only love of Goopy can save Emma from shame.

 :'(

I don't think I'll do this challenge......

Constant dream dates with the Goopster. Raises her motives, and the asp reward objects are not banned, so she can use those to keep her motives high. Not hard.

Well, sure, but you'd probably have to bulldoze a fair chunk of Emma's house to park that thing. Plus you'll miss out on the new bonus for No Aspiration Rewards. Not that you should need them. GOOPY LOVE ALONE SHALL SUSTAIN EMMA.

Plus work, maybe. They do let you use the potty there.

Wait, what? You don't play or own TS2? Didn't you post a self-sim that you have "updated" like 15 trillion times?

   Sorry Emma, i failed you.  The first 5 days were no problem, going to work every day for food/bathroom.  I neglected 1 small thing, i skipped right over the 'No Meditation for Emma' rule.  And you didn't do too badly, 3 friends by the end of the first week and 9 skill points learned.  You hardly meditated at all while at home (just woke you up early before bladder got too bad to wait for work).  Goopy never showed up until i had you meditating at a comm lot for 6 days/nights in a row.  And might i add, you two did NOT hit it off at all.  ;)
   Luck plays a really large part in this challenge.  When/if The Goopmiester shows his face.  Oh well, playing this challenge WAS a challenge for me.  It's a play style i never have tried before, so thanks Emma for being Pescado's inspiration. 

Why am I not surprised? :D

I've only updated the stats and outfits for Pescado to choose. My sister owns the disks and she dictates when I can play them. For the time being, I'm stuck with Life Stories. I get the Sims 2 and any EPs I want during the summer.

There are solutions to this, you know. No CD cracks, torrents, etc.

psst, Zazazu, the Pedobait is not too bright.

I may try this challenge when I finish torturing Emma. I have a nice Email neighbourhood which she can move in to.

Yes, I know. I'm not that desperate to play the Sims at this moment in time. Besides, I have other stuff to take care of.

See, I'd do it just to piss my sister off when she walks in the room and sees me playing the game and assumes I stole the CDs. But then, I was always an obstinate brat, and taking away electronics was my parents' favorite punishment for me. Never worked, as I just waited until they left the house and stole it back.

Actually, there are systematic ways to cause Goopy to appear, depending on how you design Goopy and Emma within the parameters given. Pick the values that maximize Goopy-Emma compatibility for best results!

If all else fails, CHEAT like Pescado.  :P

Haha, I think if I torrented them she'd tell my folks and they'd think the cops would arrest me or something. I mean, I use(d) the Booty and she thought teh evil paysite owners would track me down. She also thinks the problems with SecuROM don't exist because"EA wouldn't do that!!11!!" ::)

My sister isn't that bright, and she's 2 years older than me.

Not-that-bright compared to you is most assuredly well within the range we consider "mentally retarded". I suggest you not listen to her. The less you listen to her, the less dumb you catch.

I never listen to her anyways, she just thinks she's smart because she is older. I might get rid of SecuROM off her PC, because it's brand-new and I might end up with it one day.

Hell, when it comes to the game I'd take your advice over hers any day!

Now there's a slap in the face with a wet fish JM.  :D

I'm about a week into the challenge and so far Goopy is moved in and there is no longer any threat of future pants-wetting. I should be able to finish without peeing of any sort whatsoever. Luckily, also, Goopy spongebathed when hygiene was an issue. Emma is at level 5 of the Dance career. She was at level 6, but I had a double chance card day and the second one demoted her.

Ok. I'm done. Pictorial evidence here (http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/story_detail.php?asset_id=213638).

The biggest challenge with this challenge (after you've found Goopy, which you need to do pronto) is boredom. Once everything is set up so that no one is going to pee and Emma has her LTW and skill points, you're just down to passing the days.

Score: 10

Negatives:

• -10 one day of public school for Macey Gilscarbo
• -10 one day of public school for Sally Gilscarbo

(I forgot about the need to get them in)

Positives:

• +30 all days of challenge pee-free (maximum 30 days counted)

           

That was great-and sim-me didn't piss herself once! :D Yayz!

It is, after all, the little things in life that count the most.

I did call her a mindless zombie, or somesuch, a couple of times, though.

I'm thinking of letting Macey stay with Erik. That's part of why I moved the kids out ...I didn't want her getting too much older than him (they both want loads of babies), and you and Goopy had about 10 more days to live. I'm not entirely sure about Sally. She's Family/Knowledge (they both are) so I should marry her off. My initial plan was to marry her to the 5th-gen freak child & alien, but considering the age differences between Erik and Elan, she'd be halfway through her adulthood by the time he's available.

Thing is-all the sims get like that when they have done everything. :-\ The game gets boring really quick if you don't think up scenarios.

I am kinda sad my sim-self is dead though...*sniffles*

Zazazu, where did you put beds for the two kids?  (And congratulations on completing the challenge!)

Well, you completed the challenge, but with only a D- grade. Try harder next time! "My mitten tastes like spit." was hilarious, though.

Did anyone else think of Assmitten with that line? :D

Yup! I thought she was going to say, "My mitten tastes like ass."

In what was formerly the livingroom.* I moved the tv and couch downstairs as there was all that room, then kept the bookcase and chairs on the second level and added two twin beds.

Neh, no replay for me. I could have done better by eliminating the fridge (I think I only served two meals, one pre-Goopy moving in and one for the headmaster). Eliminating aspiration objects would have been rough. I used the energizer a lot before she got her gold flowermaking badge. I also used it maybe once during elderhood. I should have switched her career around, because level 10 careers have too few workdays. And, of course, I could have been less of a dumbass and gotten the kids into private school. They transitioned on Friday, so it would have been easy.

If I do another challenge, it will be Ellatrue's Ghetto Fabulous again, but it will take forever as the sim I want to do it with is already a playable in Prospect Beach. Four houses going at the moment, and I'm a generation and a half behind on my blogging. (Not that this is new).



*Kind of skirting the line of gross structural changes. It didn't involve expanding the house or changing anything outside, so I thought it would be fine.

Hrm. Did the BBS crash, or did you just get banned for your Emma Story? Because it's gone now.

Whole website iz borked, it looks like.

They probably tried to patch it.  :P

 ::) Prolly.

No, they didn't ban it. It's there. Must have been hiccuping. Actually, that's why I didn't take the obvious "My mitten tastes like ass" route. I figured I was already pushing the envelope using "piss". You know how the official site is. Include stories of rape, incest, and murder, but don't you dare do anything that even smacks of cussing.

Yeah - why I prefer to present stories anywhere except the Exchange.

Finally got around to seeing the story - best bit IMO is "I'm all about what that boy wants."  ROFL.
