I got the Sims 3! Great! But I'm a mindless drone who has spent his entire life with people telling him what to do. I'm used to video games telling me to jump, and giving waypoints to the exact height I need to jump to. This unfortunately doesn't translate well into the Sims 3, especially seeing as it's probably the most sandboxxy of sandbox games that isn't just some open mod. I don't want freedom! That's when I had an idea. I'll have you fine ladies and gentlemen tell me what do in the game, and I'll post screenshots of our tomfoolery! You give me an idea for a long term or (preferably) short term goal, and I'll try my best to reach them. Or record the results of me failing. So let's do that. YOU tell me what do in the Sims 3, and I'll do my best to try to accomplish it. It's a win/kinda-win situation. I get some precious linearity and you get to vicariously play a game you'll never buy and maybe I'll make the game look pretty fun in the process. But maybe we should lay down some ground work. Don't be dumb and say "grow wings and fly" or "kill yourself", even ironically. Well, I mean, don't ask me to kill the Sim. You can tell me to kill myself as much as you want as long as you add to the thread. Now, when I say "short term," I mean things that can be accomplished in a day or three. Things like, "make a new friend," "set yourself on fire," and "set your new friend on fire." "Long-term" is exactly what it sounds like...but to a certain extent. I don't want to spend this entire let's play trying to achieve the same goal. Suggest something that will be entertaining to watch progress, with a lot of variability. Maybe even something that'll lead into more short-term goals, like, "save some money for a vacation," "renovate the kitchen," or even "find a new job." You should know, before we go on, that there are some things I'll never do. Firstly, I don't want a bunch of roommates to control, save for a potential romantic partner and some crotch spawnlings for our lucky Sim. I also won't move housing locations every ten seconds; or at all for that matter. Most importantly, I don't want this to turn into a murder and dying simulator. If people die in this let's play, it'll be because of their own fault and volition. Enough about what I won't do, here's what I can do. The Sims 3 has a lot of flexibility. Even if something isn't particularly possible in the game, I'll at least try to portray your idea the best way I can. IF I can. So you give me your suggestions, and I add it to my handy-dandy to do list, which I'll try to accomplish and update every entry! But this won't go on forever, because our ultimate goal is to die. When our Sim dies, it's all over. Of old age, mind you; we're not going to go jump off of a cliff any time soon. Oh and just to clarify, if I cross out a goal you wanted, it's not because of spite or personal reasons. I love you all too much for that. It's just that it conflicted with what somebody else said and nobody came to a consensus, or it just isn't possible either at the time or at all. If you're Sims 3-savvy, or are willing do some research, I have World Adventures, Ambitions, Night Life, Show Time, Seasons, Supernatural, University Life, Generations, and Pets expansion packs. I don't have any of the stuff packs or the newer expansions, though. For god's sake, I have standards. They're just not very high. Theta Zero fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Feb 6, 2015 |

Make up: A bright-colored lipstick with little to no shine. WA eyeliner, one of those "pharaoh" ones. It should be black as coal, and then eyeshadow that matches her lips. The lipstick and eyeshadow color can be any that matches her clothes and hair. Then, if it's not too early (?), might I suggest a way we begin playing our character? It's something I've called a 0-start. When you move in your either cheat or buy insignificant items like bushes so your funds are zero. Since you have nothing on your lot, you'll really have to start from the bottom. For example: pick stones or steal items for money, sleep on benches and try find food in some way.

Prologue: A Doofus Enough talk, let's get started. With more talking. Firstly, we're going to start by creating our strapping young adult. And here's where you first get to come in. Below I have a list of traits. You, yes YOU get to pick one (and only one) trait and describe how you want it to look. ...I promise that there'll be more screenshots and less talking later. You're a bit too late for this. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Gender: death .cab for qt says: Let's be a girl Build: Zybourne Clock says: like a balloon made of meat.

What was that noise? ...Hello? ...Is somebody there? I guess I better go check it out.  Who could be out here in the freezing rain?  Hello? Is anybody out there?  What? Oh! Excuse me ma'am. You must be the one making all that noise. Are you lost? It must be below zero out here! How about you come inside? I can microwave us a TV dinner.  Ma'am? Can you hear me?  W-what? How...where did she go? Ma'am? Ma'am!? ...Maybe I'm just...imagining things. I'll just head back inside.  JESUS CHRI-- ...  ... Now where did she run off to?  Oh! There she is. What are you doing out here, all alone?  Ladies and gentlemen, our creation.  This is a doofus.  But not just any doofus, she's our doofus. Her name is Samara, and her interests include drooling and mouthbreathing. We can't go through the game playing as a personalityless lump! Which is why I need your help. Now we're going to decide the personality traits for Samara.  And I suggest you hurry. Doofuses can drown by looking up in a rainstorm. Before we get started, this is a list of personality traits Samara can express. Study them carefully, they're not so easy to change once we've decided.

Samara will get sick if she eats meat, but all meat-based foods will have a vegetarian counterpart she can make. Samara will also live longer. Vehicle Enthusiast: A really stupid trait. Samara will just be able to name her car earlier and enjoy driving cars (which doesn't matter because the bonus goes away when she stops driving). Virtuoso: Samara will enjoy listening to and creating music. Workaholic: Samara will enjoy doing anything that keeps her busy...to the point of obsession. ________________________________________________________________________________________ So here's how it'll go. YOU, as an individual, get to post TWO traits you want Samara to have. But only the first 10 people to post will get a chance for their selected traits to be expressed by Samara. Afterwards, I'll use random luck to decide what traits Samara will get to have. You can skip this paragraph if you don't care about statistics. Firstly, a drawing to see which 5 out of the 10 posters will have one of their selected traits chosen, and then a coin flip to determine which one of their two suggested traits will be picked. Samara can express 5 traits in total, so the 10 posters have a good 50% chance of being picked. If a person's chosen trait conflicts with another, their other trait will be picked. If both of their traits conflict, then another person will be chosen instead. Click here to go to the results! Theta Zero fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Feb 6, 2015 |

Unlucky, so if any of our decisions kill her, The Grim Reaper will have pity. And... Hm... Equestrian So we can send her to try and ride horsies, possibly through flaming hoops. Those things have perfect synergy, and won't lead to dangerous outcomes whatsoever.

And The Winners Are: Lotish, with Easily Impressed! Jobbo_Fet, with Clumsy! Eclectic Tastes, with Mean-Spirited! RBA Starblade, with an extension of Jobbo_Fet, Absent Minded! Silversatyr, with Unlucky! That means from now on, Samara is a slack-jawed clumsy oaf with a bad streak and a chip on her shoulder. Wow. You guys don't want to make this easy. Well, at the very least, congratulation to the winners!  We'll just forcibly implant these personality traits onto Samara's brain. In the meantime, let's look at our new house!  Oh right. We're homeless. Actually, now that I think of it, we only have three whole dollars to our name.  Oh my, homeless AND tired, too. We're not some sort of animal, though. We're not going to just nap on the ground.  It's a big neighborhood here in Lunar Falls. Filled with bars, bowling alleys, arcades, restaurants, and lots of friendly neighbors. It's a town of opportunity.  Opportunity of which costs a lot more than three bucks. Oh well. Let's take our yoga pants over to this public pool.  Until we get enough money to do...well, anything, we're going to be living off the land for a while. That is, the land owned by other people.  This pool is a suitable place to set up. Lounge chairs for sleeping, public bathrooms to do our business, and if we need a shower than we can go for a dip in the pool. It's the middle of Fall, after all. This pool probably won't get a lot of foottraffic so we practically own this place until it's warmer out.  Samara will be getting some shut-eye for now. Tomorrow is when we can really start having some fun. I'll add "get money" as a long-term goal, and you guys can suggest how Samara will be spending her day. Preferably in ways that will land us some greenbacks.

Samara needs to start small. She should try producing videos for the internet, talking about random things that occur in her daily life or assessing the quality of items. She could also become a beggar, and corner the market on blogging beggars. Alternately, try to become a professional poker player.
