Hero of the soviet union.
Accidental destroyer of planets


6:00pm



Its obvious that his workplace plans some sort of illegal trial on him, so its time to switch careers.



No skills are needed here, just some good old fashioned sucking up to the boss – something that Brusier is good at!



He then hangs around his new workplace for a while talking to his soon to be collegues.


12:00am



Its then home for some dreaming of his new job and all the money he's going to make.


10:20am



Brusier awakes fully rested, but a bit hungry.



A trip to the park and the grill there means he's now happy.



Its to early to party, so its time to go dumpster diving.



He soon has celebrity supervision. Why Tiara wants to watch a hobo scrounge through rubbish is beyond me.



She continues to hang around though.



They get talking, and Brusier blags about his status in the business career – Tiara seems to appreciate that the two get on well – they talk for hours in that alleyway – so long in fact that the paparazzi turn up!



Then it back into the dumpster!


10:00pm



Brusier returns home for a shower, only to learn that he is on several news sites, and is now a minor celebrity himself!



He tries to invite his new boss out, but she's having nothing to do with him yet. He sleeps and does the other boring sim stuff.


12:44pm



Its back to the sports bar for dinner.



He has a chat with the barmaid, Patty Needham, and of course the two see sparks fly. Okay, I'm sorry I called you fat earlier. I was just trying to make a joke.



It must be a slow news day when “Hobo goes to bar” is worth snapping. Unless they are digging dirt to destroy Tiara's career!



The bouncer is distracted and Brusier once more sneaks into the VIP area. Then leaves as no one is in there. The rest of the night is a bust, and he returns home for a good nights sleep.

9:00am



The postwoman arrives with the bills, and is shocked to see a man living in the park.


1:00pm



Time to go to work and suck up to the boss! He only brings home $148, but he's going much quicker up the ladder here!


6:00pm



Sucking up to the boss time – She agrees to join him at Welin's Haunt.



Brusier starts to dance with Matilda Smart-Striker (what a name!) when the local vampire turns up again – he gets angry that there is a policeman in the bar and walk out again – hit evil desires for the blood of a hobo once more thwarted!



His boss, Katrina Pala turns up and they get into a conversation – Brusier keeps it about her, and they are soon friends.



He mooches some cash off her, which she seems to like. She soon tells him that he is destined for big things at work!



Needing some entertainment, he gets into a two on one fooseball match with an old woman.



Unsurprisingly, Katrina is on his mind a fair bit. She leaves before he can do anything. She is married to someone called mick?


5:00am



At home, and the addition of a fridge means that Brusier can do everything he needs at the park – saving trips to places for basic human needs! Once I buy food of course!



I do my part to keep the Flamingo lobby happy!

[b]6:00pm




Another day finished. Tomorrow should bring promotion! I annoyingly missed screenshot of the vampire leaving the building carrying a baby! The thing is a monster!

[b]Choice time!


We have everything we need for the basics – I'll get some food in next.

Do we -

1 - Pick a romantic partner – who? The barmaid? The two female celebs we have met are already married.
2 – Keep making friends?
3 – We're getting a dog – continue dogchat!

What should our next big purchase be? Maybe some walls? Promotion should bring in a bonus as well!

You can also tell them to leave their partners if your relationship is strong enough - I say we wreck Mick's life.

And the one physical trait* I want in whatever type of dog we get is the permamud. Should puppies happen (and they can't be sold in TS3 so why would you) they'll inherit some of those splotches.

*Because pets also start out with three personality traits. I'm thinking Loyal, Aggressive, and Shy.

I've also realised the genius of this LP. While some things will directly influence our progeny, some ideas can ve shelved until financially or narratively more appropriate.

So I'm changing my vote from Sparkle Dog to Mutt or a poster's pet, either is good. Sparkle Dogs belong in bling-y houses or gamer basements. Wait until we get an artist in the family, methinks

You're going to be the start of a dynasty. Own the company. Romantically pursuing your married boss can in no way go wrong.


You need a bigger house. By bigger I mean one barely big enough to fit around the bed.

I think a huge muddy shaggy dog is the best choice for a hobo. Preferably white so the mud shows better.

Give your boss that kiss and if she's receptive then wreck that home.

And I'm reiterating my vote to get the Charisma skill up. That skill levels from talking to people but it doesn't start until we unlock it.

Sleeping with the boss sounds like the thing Brusier would do. It's not even all about the money since it looks like he actually has feelings for her.

I have no strong opinions on what kind of dog to get, but I support the "one flamingo per update" idea.

Formalize it as an extra point for every 10 flamingos? One flamingo can be purchased per Sim per update.

If my dad had a collection of flamingos and he kept buying another every month, the second he moved into a home or died I'd sell that off.

The flamingos are going to be the equivalent of a prisoner's ticks for each day he's trapped there. An excellent way to keep track of how many in game days it's been since the start of the legacy.

I agree that he should get to the library to get that very first Charisma skill point, so all his mooching can passively rank up Charisma afterwards.

Alternately, try to hit on boss lady first, and if she rejects Brusier, that could be the motivation he needs to study some people skills.

(If she accepts his advances, wreck that home to build your own!)

Nope.

One of the things I liked to do in TS3 was build a vast underground bunker with an unassuming shack sitting in the middle of an 'abandoned' lot. I don't know whose idea it was at EAxis to give us five basement floors but I hope they went on to do more great things.

Knowingly sleeping with a married person is an evil thing to do. If Bruiser had the Evil trait it might make sense, but I don't think he does. (Does he?) Accordingly, I vote to marry the barmaid since that's the non-evil choice here.

Huh, I wasn't expecting multiple basement floors :eyepop:.

In that case I'm going to properly suggest that I think Brusier's long-term goal for his house should be one that's completely underground. He's already an ex-military survivalist, living off the land and local townsfolk fauna :pseudo:.

+1 for ending with an underground bunker-mansion.

This has nothing to do with me playing Dwarf Fortress lately. Not at all. :v:

Perhaps sufficient Flamingo worship will one day turn one of the statues into Brusier's perfect wife (who never leaves the couch, as static in life as she was a lawn ornament).

Go for the barmaid and definitely do the bunker. The only external part should be whatever enclosure is necessary for the stairway, and an entire flock of pink flamingos.

The barmaid makes more sense but Bruiser is laser focused in his lack of effort and so boss is the true mooch path.
