Thanks, guys! I really do miss telling little game adventures to my friends. I haven't done it in quite awhile. It's really time consuming, though, and requires patience I don't often have these days. Plus, with so many other things always going on and all the stories I do, sometimes I just don't FEEL like taking more screenshots, ya know? And it's been a long time since I was pulled to my game. I've really missed it, but just having such a hard time staying interested. I don't know why. But last night I had WAY too much fun playing! I played for hours and was just sitting here laughing my fool head off. My hubby kept looking over to see what I was laughing about. Just like the old days, indeed!
Sugah - you'll see more of the wallpaper in the upcoming pics. I realized belatedly that I have very little custom walls in my second game. I need to rectify that and go shopping at Sugah's! But I wanted blue and didn't want to leave the game. I must have had this paper leftover from a house that I downloaded. I think it's really cute.
Okay - Julia is quite a beauty. She's a downloaded sim (whose name was Julie) and the only thing I changed were her eyes, because I just love the way these green eyes look on her and fit in her head.

This cute downtownie called her up and asked her on a date. She said hell yeah - especially if there are any clothing booths around! So they met at Cold Issue Clothing, which also happens to have a couch in a back room. Hmmm. Decided to take advantage of that.

The lady that was sitting there got disgusted and left. Can't imagine why. Probably jealous.

Mrs. Crumplebutt just happened to be on the lot and come into the room at the most inopportune time. She rails poor John out, but Julia is unphased.

Then of course they took advantage of the clothing booths. And guess who was waiting right outside when they finished? Poor John gets whacked by her purse.

Another love, another spectator. Meet Corbin. And the nanny.
Another love, another nannny. I forget this poor guy's name.

Now that is a perfect piece of art.

Talk about your clingy kids, sheesh. That's the count's daughter as a toddler. Hey that butler is kinda cute...

Yes, she had her fun with the butler. Then she had her fun with the replacement butler, too. Ray isn't taking it too well. I think he got too attached.

But just
look at that replacement butler! I don't blame her for taking advantage of
that opportunity.

Julia was in the hot tub with someone when this cute guy walked by. Of course I had her jump out of the tub and greet him. They hit it off right away and he was making out with her on the sidewalk within minutes! Kind of surprised me, because she usually (directed by me) makes the first move.

Ooh. And here's a really cute mailman I found. John seems a tad upset.

I like chaos in my game. A LOT. I decided to invite several of Julia's lovers over for the day and see what would happen. Her woohoo timer was getting close to going off and I wanted to see which man she chose. With ACR, each sim has a woohoo timer, and the length of the timer varies for the sim's aspiration. Julia's seems to only go for about 27 sim hours, which means once the timer ticks down to 0, she'll be looking for a man to take to bed - whoever she happens to be the most attracted to. There are safeguard settings, too, to protect family sims and married sims. It's a smart hack. Anyhoo, the fellas were practically lining up taking turns to gain Julia's affections. The replacement butler gives her a kiss while mohawk boy and Connor look on,
smiling. That's not just a little creepy.

Connor is next. He grabs her and makes out with her while the other two watch. The mailman and Count Shannon are ignoring them to have a riveting discussion about supernatural things. Undoubtedly, the mailman had seen the count turn her into a vampire. No one seemed the least bit disturbed by this.

Now it's mohawk boy's turn. It cracked me up that Connor stood there with his hands on his hips, waiting for his next turn, lol. Shortly after, though, it was past 2 a.m. and all the mortals cleared out, leaving only the count. Would he win a tryst with Julia by default?

Well, he could romance Julia, or he could go up and scare the piss out of Connor's son, literally. The poor kid peed himself while the count (and I) laughed hysterically. Shannon, his daughter, is quite disgusted by it all.

Aww...(we're both still laughing. Guffawing is more like it, actually) And by the way check out what Maxis did to the kid's neck. He reminds me of the aliens from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

The count is still pointing and laughing even after Connor ran to the other side of the room. His daughter is completely grossed out. Where were the kids during mom's parade of lovers, you may ask? At school during the day, and studying cooking once they got home - so they wouldn't catch their mom in her actions. The count stayed until 6:30 a.m. and never made a move on Julia, nor did she try to get him to meet her in the bedroom. Her timer was past 0 by this time, so I was kind of surprised she didn't start something.

I had SO much fun, that the next day I had to invite several lovers over again to watch their antics. Poor Julia is hornier than a cat in heat by this time, and jumps the bones of the mailman in the hot tub. Connor is horrified. None of her other lovers seem to care, and stand around near the spot where they were summoned and chat.

And this always gets me with Maxis romance sims. She's OUTSIDE and her lovers are INSIDE and none of them are even looking out the window. Yet, somehow they know what she's up to in the hot tub. Goopy (need to change that name) loses his crush and best friend status with Julia. Meanwhile, the mailman is falling in love with her.

Inside the house, the replacement butler attacks the mailman. Apparently he saw her in the tub with Mr. Mail, too, though I didn't know he did.

And Julia is cheering for the replacement butler! Hellooo? You were outside snacking on the mailman mere moments ago!

Mailman: I carry a 20 lb. bag of mail five days a week. You don't mess with the mailman.

Julia gets bored and summons Goopy to the hot tub. This really surprised me, because she's just been sated. But apparently she felt she needed more.

And what's happening inside while she's busy with Goopy? Connor and the mailman sit down to a breakfast of moldy cereal. Yum! There's two spurned lovers in this picture, Connor and Ray the butler.

And here's two more spurned lovers sitting on the couch together watching tv.

The replacement butler stops watching tv to have another go at the mailman.

The mailman ends up kicking the butler's ass again, but before that happens, this cute townie is extremely agitated. "Dudes. You're blocking the table. Can't you take this fight somewhere else. I want to eat my pancakes, man."

The mailman went upstairs, and John literally bolted after him. And the reason why is because he wanted a piece, too.

Shannon walks right through the cloud, not interested. It's difficult to tell if she's gained her father, the count's, original features or not. Her nose looks a wee bit speary, but I have a feeling she's going to grow up into a beautiful teen. And if she doesn't, hey, that's what plastic surgery is for, lol.

"Twenty pound mailbag. Five days a week."

Connor kicks the mailman's butt!
Connor: Take
that and shove it into your mailbag!

John and the replacement butler watch in fascination, gaining a new appreciation of Connor, while Shannon does this creepy broken neck thing to look back at them.

Little Connor is traumatized by his father's actions, while John and the replacement butler are in awe. "Hi, Connor's son," they say in unison.

Somehow the mailman and Connor end up behind the other two, who don't even turn around when Connor starts poking the mailman again.

Emboldened by the fact that the mailman got his butt kicked, replacement butler gives him another piece of his mind.

Connor comes downstairs to use the bathroom and Julia comes in to give a big squeezy hug. He hugs her back. Apparently he wasn't
that upset that she woohooed the mailman in the hot but. Not with her, anyway.

Replacement butler walks into the living room where Mailman is watching tv, looking horrified.
Replacement buter: My GOD!! You're wearing THE EXACT SAME SWIMMING TRUNKS AS ME!!

Mailman gets up. In the background Julia is macking on Holden, another of her lovers. The other two don't seem to care.

That's all I have for now. I don't know where Julia will go from here. I've set her risky woohoo chance at 0 because I don't want her to have any more kids. She'll have to very careful now, if she decides to continue on this path so her children don't find out. I actually started to feel a little sorry for some of these guys, lol. They're so cute and charming. Maybe some day they'll meet
nice ladies.
