Would anyone at Basic like to be roomies???

What do you mean by "you guys"?

Wouldn't you be better equipped to answer that question, you know, since your real identity and plan for world domination are such a secret?

Sorry to interfere but answering the question with another question is on another topic, did you know that?

How could you read my mind like that, Ulli? lol
I was just thinking the same thing!

I'm IN!
This is great! I DO need to revamp my Sugah Sim a little, but that won't take long once I load up BodyShop.

So, who's in?
What will our last name be? Are we going to be Sim sibs? I love that idea, btw.

LOL, Hunter started it!

I´m playing the Crossings as siblings and that´s really fun. They are nine so I have a lot to do when I´m playing with them.

I have no good lastname suggestions, Willow, Mugwort, The NighMare family

Some other questions that pop into my head;
Can they live in any house or are we going to use the same house all of us?
The same hood?

An apartment building would be a good idea if everyone who is participating has AL. If everyone is not going to use the same house it won't matter, though.

I think in the original version of this Sims adventure, we all chose our own house.
I built one with enough bedrooms for everyone as an option, in case my Simsibs would like it in their game, too.
(No longer have that abode, unfortunately.)
I'm open to go either way with it, but I like the idea that we can all pick a house of our own choosing, if we please.
And any hood should do.

What about the La Femme fam? Les Femmes (pl) doesn't sound or look as good for a last name, lol.
I still like Simsibs, too, actually.

I never did it before, so I will yield to whatever rules you guys set. I like the La Femme last name though. It's cute.

It could be a whole new ball game this time around...totally open for discussion. Perhaps we could even put our collected ideas to a vote.

I think we've possibly got: Em, Elle, Ulli, Hunter, Ari and Sugah so far. Am I missing anyone who'd like to participate?
Everyone named might need to confirm that for certain now that several months have passed since the original discussion.

We'll need to set a tentative time to start the project, when everyone can be ready to roll with it.

This info is needed:

Astrological Sign (personality traits)
Aspiration/Secondary Aspiration (if playing with FT)
Turn ons/offs
Career Preference

Last time we spoke about this, I think we all had NL and FT in common. Not sure if there's another EP we all have since.

What else am I missing, folks?

What a Snitch................................................

ROFLMAO!

I'm definitely in - though I think I shouldn't commit to anything until November is over. I feel so far behind on everything.

I like the idea of everyone choosing their own abodes. I may do the apartment thing - but it may be fun to all live in one big house. Actually - that's what I'll do.

I'll await more details - but I'm definitely in.

Ladies, ladies, do we need to separate the two of you?

I'm still in. I might not have a lot of time to play, but I'll do what I can and I can certainly contribute my simself to the household.

I don't have AL, so I can't do apartments. We've always been lenient on the requirements of our challenges, so if someone wants to suggest a lot (or lots) that you think would work well, that would be cool and then each one of us could decide if we want to use it or something else. How does that sound?

Quote :

Astrological Sign (personality traits)
Aspiration/Secondary Aspiration (if playing with FT)
Turn ons/offs
Career Preference

I would add . . .
First Name (forum name, nickname or real name, whatever you'd prefer to go by)
Gender Preference
Interests or Prefered Hobbies (in case anyone doesn't want to go with whatever random ones the game gives you... that one can be optional.)

Seems like there's something else too, but I can't think of what.

How about Basic for a last name or does that sound too plain? La Femme sounds more exotic.

I think I shall choose V as my name.

The last name La Femme is great - I like it. It's JazzTastic!

I'm feeling rotten so I'm punchy as a response opposed to curling up on the couch........must stop posting - do my updates and go to bed.

La Femme = The Woman (I know we all know this, but just in case, lol)
I thought it was fitting.
Ari and Em might recall it was the original name I suggested for our Simsibs, but when Sean joined us as our brother, it didn't apply anymore!

Okay, so the info we need thus far is:

Astrological Sign (personality traits)
Aspiration/Secondary Aspiration (if playing with FT)
Turn ons/offs
Career Preference

And Em added (thank you, Lady E):

First Name (forum name, nickname or real name, whatever you'd prefer to go by)
Gender Preference
Interests or Preferred Hobbies

Anything missing? Em doesn't have AL, so if anyone wants to build an optional house we can use, as she suggested, that'd be cool.
Hunter said she can't join us til after November is through. That gives us all a couple of weeks to get our crappola together.
Wanna start the first week of December then?
Whoever can play as often as they can play is welcome, Em. We know how much you are juggling already, hon.
I don't get to play nearly as much as I'd like either with all my creating and online responsibilities ... not to mention my new Facebook addiction.
(Who can I strangle for THAT??? lol)

Are there any rules to follow regarding play, cheats, etc?

I don't think we really had any set rules before. We all kind of decided on our own what cheats we wanted to use or didn't want to use. Anyone else have any input on this one?

Does anyone have a list of in game careers and interests handy? It might help to have the choices in front of us while we come up with our profiles. Aspirations, turn ons/offs, and the hobby choices are pretty easy to remember, I think.

I think you're right, Em. We were rather lenient about hacks and cheats. Left it up to the individual Simsib, didn't we?

I found the pre-destined hobby adjuster, in case anyone is interested at Sim Wardrobe.

That sounds fine to me; I should be up and running by then (for the sake of these carpet people, I better be).

Okay, are those of us who are wanting to participate in this little roomies adventure willing to start around the first week in December?
We'll need all information prior to, of course.
Be thinking about what kind of abode you'll be moving the 6 of us into ... it IS 6 thus far, isn't it (Em, Elle, Ulli, Hunter, Ari and Sugah)?
And if you have to tweak your Simself, have that finished and ready for uploading prior to as well.

I'm getting excited. This should be fun!

I definitely plan on participating.

I'll actually create my or alter my self Sim this weekend.

For the home I'm planning on doing just a large box home. I thought I'd do a large center living/dining/open kitchen floor plan with six bedrooms and a few baths around. Of course - I plan on making them struggle - so the outer rooms may have to come later and they'll have to maybe sleep on sofas and recliners in the living area first.

How's that?

I´m ready whenever you are. first week in December sounds nice.

They have to start with very little money and try to work them selfs up. Little legacy feeling Hunter?
That could be fun...hmm....

Thanks for posting the careers, Sugah. Maybe we shouldn't worry about interests. That might be too much work to change.

That sounds kind of like what I was thinking for our roomies' house, Hunter. I like having sims work their way up too.

As far as sign / personality points. Should we try to get them to match up, like make sure our personality fits within our star sign or do we just choose one or the other? There's a sim personality quiz that I found a long time ago, in case anyone wants to try it out.

When I did it a few years ago I got ... Neat - 5, Outgoing - 0, Active - 4, Playful -7, Nice - 8
Just now I got ... Neat - 7, Outgoing - 1, Active - 5, Playful -8, Nice - 8. I guess I've changed a little. I have more personality now.

December sounds ok to me. I'm still searching for the perfect outfit and hairstyle for myself.

I need to take that personality quiz, Em. Sounds vaguely familiar!
And you're welcome for the careers, m'lady.

I have more personality now.

I think I've lost a few personality points, as I've grown older and more lazy, reclusive & cantankerous, myself. lol

December it is, my Sim sisters!
I am not going to use any cheats if I can help it, least of all the money cheat.
This will be a challenge with so many of us, but I hope to have everyone skilled and working in no time flat...til the big bucks start rollin' in.
Hunter, I've had a Sim or two sleep on loveseats and have bare rooms and walls as they work their way up the career ladder and bank more money.
It's such a great feeling of accomplishment to have my Sims earn their keep.

My La Femme sisters will be no exception!
I am really getting excited about this! So glad the six of us are participating!

Em, the link doesn't work for me. Could there be a mistake?
