Day One - Entering the Tempered House

Well, the day finally arrived and our sims arrived outside the house, went inside, did some stuff, had a fire, at which one sim passed out, all the rest were panicking bar one Brave sim, who put out the raging fire just before the fire brigade arrived. And shortly after that my pc crashed, and I hadn't saved any of it. So... I deleted all those screenshots and we started again.

Compared to the original Day One, this day was rather dull. However, they all arrived with maximum mood, and have only just started to get to know each other and use the facilities in the house, so there will be plenty time for more excitement to come!


Day 1 1
Every sim had a "want" to join a particular career, so I sent each one off to apply for a job and then sent them home again. Careers are as follows: Vigilant - Science, Pfant - Law Enforcement, Eeni - Culinary, Gor - Criminal, Pippy - Science, Shirine - Law Enforcement, Viridian - Law Enforcement and Devyna - Music. Could be interesting having 3 cops and a robber in the house!
Anyway, here's what they got up to after I sent them home from getting into work:

Eeni playing American Football on pc.

Day 1 2

Viridian and Eeni converse (the relationship panel said "Viridian can see Eeni is offended" - so whatever he did must have been pretty bad!).

Day 1 3

Pippy tells Dev how he likes fires. (All I can say is "O Rly?")

Day 1 4

Are they talking about handbags?

Day 1 5

Pippy goes for a swim in his lime green swimshorts (lovely...).

Day 1 6

Well, she's talking about marriage, but she's only just met him so surely it's not him she wants to marry?

Day 1 7

Vigilant gets down to business working on her logic. She probably wants to get a head start on Pippy in the Science career track.

Day 1 8

Devyna is now telling Viridian all about the Hammer of Justice. Which is interesting, since she's in a music career, and he's the one in law enforcement.

Day 1 9

Eeni and Gor play foosball, and Eeni talks about computers.

Day 1 10

Shirine wants to work out to the tv, but Viridian is already watching something else.

Day 1 11

And this is what neurotic people do when something like this happens.

Day 1 12

It's not pretty, although it IS entertaining (apart from Viridian appears to be completely ignoring her).

Day 1 13

Pfant gets to grips with the treadmill. It's going a bit too fast for you there I think, birdy man!


Day 1 14
Shirine gives up on the TV and finds the boom box in the kitchen to work out to instead.

Day 1 15

Gor and Vir appear to be hitting it off (NOT!).

Day 1 16

Vir insults Gor by saying something about flies living on him, which is a pretty nasty insult, to be fair. Gor didn't take it very well!

Day 1 17

Eeni is now chatting away to someone on the computer.

Day 1 18

Vigilant and Devyna are talking about Viridian's family. Don't ask what they know about his family, as they all just met today!

Day 1 19

It's very hard to know what's going on here. Is Pfant asking Pippy to go to bed? Is he complaining because there are 6 single beds in the house? And is Pippy asking him to shut up so he can watch TV or is he thinking?

Day 1 20

"I, like, love you dude". Perhaps?


Day 1 21
Whatever he said, it worked. Pfant is telling Gor all about the health benefits of boxing. Or something.

Day 1 22

Vigilant and Viridian have what looks like a very serious conversation.
Day 1 23


Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Devyna decides to make some macaroni cheese.

Day 1 24

Miraculously, there is no fire (guess who started the last one?), and some of the others tuck in. Apart from Viridian, who made a salad and is eating that instead, and Shirine, who has decided to make something else entirely.

Day 1 25

Hot dogs!

Day 1 26

I'm not really sure exactly what Devyna and Pfant are up to, here. Maybe Eeni left the computer on at a non child-friendly page or something...

Day 1 27

Shirine manages not to set the BBQ on fire. Shame.

Day 1 28

Now she's had her hot dog she wants to go to bed.

Day 1 29

Which she promptly does (without cleaning up)

Day 1 30

Devyna has had enough, also, and heads to bed in her nightdress which appears to be made out of wicker. How uncomfortable must that be?

Day 1 31

Do you think he wanted to sleep in that bed, or do you think he was hoping he'd fit in there? In any case he went to the one behind him instead.

Day 1 32

Vigilant brushes her teeth before bed.

Day 1 33

More nice shorts for Pippy. I guess he just likes tight shorts that are brightly coloured.

Day 1 34

I totally missed these guys heading to bed.

Day 1 35

Vigilant now gets dressed into her daytime clothes to go to bed. I think she's going to be quite fun in here, as wearing the wrong clothes could get some reactions out of other sims.

Day 1 36

...and it's goodnight from him.

Day 1 37

Meet the Sims 2009

I think its very unsensitive by Pips to talk about how much he likes fire with me!

Much more interesting than the "real" Big Brother I must say. The contestants are far more human for one thing.

Do you leave everyone to their own devices or are you nudging people along according to their own needs and goals?

The only thing I did at the start was make them get a job. I experimented in other games and even though they wanted a particular job, they didn't go out and get it on their own, so I did that and then sent them all home again. From then on (barring any potential situations that might require me to intervene), I'm just watching them and taking millions of screenies, then sifting through them to get something for here.

(And Dev, if it's any consolation, Pippy was the one that passed out in the fire that I had on the other first day!)
