One of the most fun projects we did together at Planet the Sims forum was The Roomies Adventure.

Those of us who participated, created our Simselves and then shared them with one another.

It was so neat to be able to learn how differently we each played out our Simselves' lives as roomies.

I, for one, enjoyed the hell out of that project. It was one of my faves.

I still have my Sugah Sim (you can see what she's been up to in my Sugah Sims Antics posts).
All I'd need to do is change up a few things (better eyes & ensemble, eg).

Here she is in her pjs, playing the violin.



It wouldn't take me any time at all to package and zip her up to share with anyone interested.

Do you all have a Simself you'd like to share?
Would anyone be interested in doing a Roomies Adventure with me here?

Just a thought!!! I think it might be a blast!

I'll be your roomie! Do you still have my simself? I was thinking of going into CAS and redoing her, if you don't. I'll have to find out if I still have her DNA in my saved sims folder. I'm not sure if I want to start us all over, since some of my roomies had just started getting married and having kids when I'd left off. Do you think if I participate I should start off with us all living together or just move the new roomies into the neighborhood and let them meet?

Sugah - I think we should create a new thread for this and absolutely do it.

Whoever wants to participate can offer their Simselves or someone to offer as a "roomie".

FUN FUN FUN.

I can NOT wait to get around to my Mail Order Sims project!!!!

Oh, how fun!
Em, I had our Roomies Adventure in my main puter and recently lost ALL data in that one.
I'd need a new you.
I'd say start a new Roomies household in a new hood with your new Simself,
if you'd like. Something completely different from our original adventure.
What do you think?

I'll be re-creating my Simself a bit. I may start a whole new hood for this and generate
all new townies/npcs before I start.

Hunter, you're going to join us?
We can use the same last name we had in the original ... Simsibs ... unless someone can
think of something better/different. I'm open.
We decided, originally, to make us all siblings which was so great.
Shall we do it that way again?
I loved the closeness we Simsibs all shared in my game and will miss that fam MUCHO.

There's no hurry on this project, so whenever everyone who'd like to be a roomie
is ready to go ... just post it here.
I can start a new thread, as Hunter suggested, when a few of us are ready and able.

Thank you for your interest in this. I know it will be a blast, my friends.

I was thinking I should probably just start over, if I can find the time to play. The last time I focused too much on getting our simselves up their career ladders and finding spouses and not enough on their relationships with each other. Some of us were not very close which is kind of sad. It might be nice to do a different approach this time and since I have freetime now I can explore the hobbies aspect.

Being siblings again would be fun. I know we decided to do that before so we wouldn't start flirting with each other and stuff like that. Since Ari and I have ACR now, that might be an especially good idea to do it that way again. lol

I'm not sure I want to make another brand new hood, so maybe I'll move us into my prosperity challenge hood. I haven't visited that one in awhile.

This sounds fun!

I´ll be your roomie too.

Is there any specific rules for this roomie thing? Exept for having a simself?

I´ll have to re-do a little on Ulli otherwise she is ready.

Not sure if I want to jump in this time or not. I have a lot going on these days and am having anything but the slow relaxing summer I was hoping to have. We'll see, though.

This is so great!

So far, we've got Hunter, Em, Sugah & Ulli interested.
I wonder if Ed won't join in with us? Maybe I'll PM him in case he missed this thread.
Ari, I'm sorry you won't be joining us this time. It was so much fun having you in the fam last time.

Okay, here's what we've got so far...

• We shall be sisters to keep things from getting complicated attraction/flirting-wise,
  as Em has pointed out.

• Some of us will need a bit of time to work on our Simselves, before we can exchange 'em.

• I'm thinking the best way to share our Simselves, would be to simply package them up
  and send them through email, if everyone is willing to do so.

• Each of us will have to give our personal information (eg Astrological sign, likes/dislikes, & career choice).

Shall we keep the last name Simsib? I rather like it, but as I said, am definitely open to suggestions.
Am I forgetting anything, Emily?

That all sounds cool Sugah - my only change is I wonder if we could "build up" our Sims first - then package them on maybe a 2 x 3 lot or something - unfurnished.

That way their personalities are already going to be what they're going to be. Then we can move them off those lots and into whatever house we find appropriate.

Is this doable - or does it defeat some kind of purpose?

I guess I'm thinking about my old Mail Order Sim project where the Sims already were into their lives a bit so their personalities and quirks were already built.

??????? Haven't done this one - so I'm a total Newbie.

I'm definitely on board however it plays out!

I probably won't get to play tons either, but I'd like to at least attempt to participate.

I think starting them out on an empty lot is actually a good idea, Hunter. The only problems I can see are if there are any incompatibilities between people who have different eps and also when you package sims on lots they take with them memories of every sim they've ever come in contact with and all that data can sometimes cause problems in game . . . at least that's what I've heard. I think though, if we keep the number of sims our sims come into contact with to a minimum and use clean pack installer to unpackage the lots, I think that way would work ok.

I don't know when my life will return to normal again, but perhaps we can set a tentative time to start
this project, say...around the first of September.
How does that work for everyone? Or we could wait til after the Labor Day holiday...

My personal preference is to download your Sims, then set the personalities in CAS as Ari described.
I enjoy helping my Sims gain skill points and building their careers from day one.
That's such a big part of it to me.
Also, creating our Simselves fresh and new, based on the info we share with one another (signs, likes/dislikes, career preferences, etc.) is a lot of fun to me.
I really enjoy that part of this kind of project. Of course, this is all only MY opinion.

We can keep discussing it, esp. since we might not be able to get this adventure going
anytime in the near future. We've got time to talk it through and plan it out, right?

September sounds good - my rugrats will all be back in school - full time for all of them!! I'll have more time to chill out and relax - and this will be a good time to start a sims project. It will also give me time to 'freshen up' my simself.

That was one of the reasons I thought September might work, Ari.
I knew your boys would be back in school and you'd have a bit more (much needed) time and space to yourself.

For me, I'll have (hopefully) relocated Sugah's Place by then and things will be more settled here with Snacky's mom, so I will have more time to enjoy my Sims and online activities as well.

So far, we've got Hunter, Ulli, Em, Sugah and Ari interested. Correct?
