Woohoo'd to death

[Pegasys]

I was recently playing Darren Dreamer (mostly to age him, 'cause he shouldn't be younger than Lilith and Angela, who are a few days away from Elder). Anyway, I got him a new live-in girlfriend, and for two days ALL he wanted to do was: play/flirt/kiss/make-out/woohoo with her. So just for fun I decided that I would oblige every want, regardless of her needs, and see if anything different spun up. His girlfriend is 1 point lazy, can barely get her *ss off the couch to fix something to eat. Anyway, she willingly obliged to his every whim, never rejected him, and they had a non-stop love fest for two days straight.  At the end of the second day, she got out of bed after woohoo, and crumpled to the ground. Darren was able to save her from the Grim Reaper but it was *only* after this event did he start spinning some different typical Knowledge wants such as see a ghost, gain a skill point, etc.

So I ask, was he spinning all these wants over and over because they weren't married or engaged, or it got stuck in a loop, or It kind of made for an interesting story  Darren, the obsessed artist.

Well, if I could pick how I'm going to leave this world, I have to say, woohooing to death wouldn't be such a bad way to go.

I had a Romance Sim, the daughter of Don Lothario, who was in a sorority, and she woohooed wtih her professor in the hot tub to get grade points.  I wanted to see how quickly she could fill up her grade meter doing that.  Unfortunately, she was starving by the time they did it several times, and she went to cook some food.  I got the notice that the professor was leaving, and he had hunger desperation thought bubbles.  So I didn't think anything more about it, until a little later she stops eating and goes to the back yard.  I couldn't understand why she would stop eating when there was food on her plate and she was still hungry.  Then I noticed that everyone had quit what they were doing and were going to the back yard, where I saw a figure crumpled on the ground.  I realized it was the professor, who had never made it off the lot, and so he expired.  So this was a lesson to all my college students.  Never woohoo when you are starving.  She would go to his grave and cry all the time.  I thought it might be good to let the sorority house have a grave for the knowledge sims to see, but the house got bugged and I lost it.  The game generated another professor when she went to class again.

Now, if you'd had a flamingo of contentment on the lot, it wouldn't have happened!

[RainbowTigress]

Now that wouldn't have been as amusing, though, would it?

Yeah, but I bet he had a smile on his face!

Maybe it's just Darren? In my game, he married Cassandra, and immediately after "trying for baby" HE got out of bed and died. Perhaps the man is cursed. And does anyone know what happened to his first wife?

[RainbowTigress]

Not sure, but her ghost is red, so I assume she died in a fire.

[ZephyrZodiac]

Actually, she has two ghosts, but only one gets resurrected with the Resurrectomitron.  I had Darren do this, and they had a baby and were very happy, and since he had drunk loads of elixir he didn't transition while I was playing that hood (before it got corrupted).

I noticed the change in behaviour of Knowledge sims after Uni was installed.  They have a constant woohoo want that rerolls every time its fulfilled.  I guess they want to learn everything there is to know....   The only difference between them and Romance sims is that they are happy to woohoo with just the one partner.  The constant want has made it really easy to keep Knowledge sims in platinum mode. 

[ZephyrZodiac]

But since romance sims constantly roll woohoo in bed, hot tub, love tub and public woohoo wants, you can fulfil these and ignore the promiscuity!  After all, a lot of humans also have these wants and suppress them because deep-down they really love their partner!  Just give them a career  LTW and they're just as easy to keep in platinum as Knowledge sims (who I've noticed are not rolling the want so often since NL.)

[bloodstainedkisses]

I find, if when the flirt rolls up, you only pick a low one (charm, wolf whistle, etc, etc), then, it may roll to something like talk. If you pick 'goose' then it tends be bumped to 'kiss' and 'make out'. (Which, always for me, at least, roll at the same time). Just my experience, is all.

I'd always thought Darleen got killed by a satalite.  In the story pictures that comes with the neighborhood you see her lying on the ground and watching clouds while Darren is doing something in the background.  And if you look around at the ground where her tombstone is when you first start in that family you can see a slight indention in the ground...

Though, her ghost is red.  But I don't think Darren or Dirk have any memories of a fire right before their memory of Darleen diying.  Hmmmm...

[Savage]

I haven't a clue but, hahaha, thats classic, Im so gunna have to try that, Im guessing you had free will off?

[Pegasys]

No, free will was on, but Carmen, the girlfriend is so dang lazy free will might as well be off.

Actually, it's not an indentation, it's slightly raised as if it was a fresh tomb because it's about the length of a body, and the gravestone is at the head.  They applied a dirt terrain to look like the grass had not grown over it yet.  That's how all of the graves are at that cemetery downtown, also.

As for the memories, I'm pretty sure Maxis added those in manually, much like we can using SimPE.  They probably forgot to add a memory of a fire, because it actually never happened.  Just like they put in memories of a burglar and a repoman in Dina's memories, and Don has a memory of getting shocked.  He also has memories of being rejected for making out with Bella and a memory of public woohoo with Kaylynn, but Kaylynn has no memories of anything.

Technically, only people who see the fire get a fire memory. If the fire occurs in another room, nobody sees the fire except the person who dies.

[ZephyrZodiac]

I think the only memory of the incident Darleen has is "I am dead", and that goes once she is resurrected.  But when Angela died trying to make crepes suzettes, I'm pretty sure she had the memory of the fire before the "I am dead" one, and all her family plus Don who was visiting remember the fire, as they all came rushing in!

[Lythdan]

Maxis probably couldn't be bothered giving Darleen memories. She probably just tried to cook a toaster pastry one morning and stuffed her face instead.

[ZephyrZodiac]

Well, she had some memories, and since there are two Darleens the memories are confused, as are the characters themselves - one is a family sim the other is fortune, and that's just for starters!

[Lythdan]

I think one was made for pictures, and the other is refrenced for memories. One has character data, the other doesn't.

[ZephyrZodiac]

True, but totally wierd how several ghosts have duplicates.  If as you say the duplicate was made for pictures, why leave it in at all?  And why is one in daywear, one in a nighty?

[Lythdan]

Maxis is lazy? I dunno. What I noticed is that one Micheal Bachelor is Popularity, and the one with character data is Knowledge.

[Ellatrue]

Are the red ghosts only for fire, or other things as well? I once had an angry red ghost that died of hunger.
