Old, Archived Dead Threads Graveyard 3

I think breaking the rules a tiny bit to get your vampire safely in her coffin is a good idea, since you've already added an extra challenge by having a vampire in the first place.

I think I got the low food warning hack from simbiology, but I'm not 100% sure about that. It nice because when your food supplies reach a certain level, everytime your sims try to get something out of the fridge, you get a pop up message that their food is running out. It's really handy to have.

Ok cool - I'll go check there.

EDIT: Found it! For anyone else interested, you can find it here

LOL!! Yes, I remember that. I got a big kick out of it. I think John kept showing up even though you had him locked in a box because he was the town paranoid that everyone kept spying on with the telescope, wasn't he? Then you moved him down to the family bin and he still showed up. Or was that Daniel?

Man, you have a good memory, Ari. I can't believe you remembered that.
John WAS the town paranoid who kept thinking everyone was spying on him through the telescope, so I put him in a box.
It took FOREVER for him to bite the big one, if I am remembering correctly.
I think I drowned Daniel Pleasant in the family's swimming pool and HE is the one that showed up in the family bin AFTER his death.
That freakin' creeped me out.

I'll tell you a little secret about Coral. She was actually supposed to be Miss April (as a human, not as a mermaid).

Miss May! Miss May! Please!!!

In this segment we get to know some of the psychos....I mean patients, a little better.

The fairy queen is worried about producing an heir to the fairy kingdom. I wonder if Tania even realizes she's not even in the fairy kingdom.

She simply steps around him to beg for money. Or floats around him. Or...whatever mermaids out of water do.

ALL of your Sims are freaking gorgeous! Did you purposely set out to make the most gorgeous mutants ever???

I think, like Ari and Em, I might have to break the rules a tiny bit in this kind of challenge.
Some of these psychos...err...patients...are in need of help from time to time for their own well being and safe keeping, of course.

I have to say, again, I am SO GLAD you are playing again, Ms. Faery.
It's so wonderful reading your witty commentaries and seeing all of your beautiful screenshots.

Thank you so much for sharing your Sim antics with us.

Oh I so need to do a challenge like this...

I do love your fairy queen she is so "don´t need"

They do look good your Sims.

I have to make a plan... No more sleeping for me then maybe I can fit in an challenge like this...

You got it, chikkie! Coral shall be the new Miss May. As a human, though, lol.

Thank you so much for all your awesome comments. Having people to share my adventures with makes it all worth it!

Thank you, Ulli. This is a very fun challenge and doesn't usually take too long. I really like the randomness of it all. Sims do pretty darn funny things when you're not always telling them what to do. And sometimes they surprise me.

Thank you. And I'll get on that swimsuit SOON, so as to have Miss May ready for the next update, hopefully.

Cant wait to see her, and download her

Yep yep. I'm busy Tuesday. and Thursday, but will have time to work on her Wed.

Okay, I'll load up Body Shop tomorrow and work on her swimsuit, so you can have it when you're ready to work on her Wednesday.
Perfect!!!

Got it and will be working on her soon. Thanks a bunch, Sugah!

Okay - more pics!


The next day dawns gray and dismal. The paperboy glances down at Thorne as walks his route. Is he...laughing?


Oh thank goodness! I was getting worried about him.


Thorne takes advantage of the recent rain. He'll do this for hours and hours.


Graaagh claps for Fenrir as he uses the ballet bar.


I'm not even going to *try* to interpret Fenrir's thoughts. I probably don't want to know.


Coral and Graaagh complain about how much the other stinks as they wait their turn for a bath.


Then Coral gets a whiff of herself...


She really does stink!


The psychos aren't really very picky when it comes to meals. Snobby fairy girl eats rotten food with flies all over it and doesn't even wince.


Graaagh thinks Coral is a brainless moron. He should talk!


A zombie with a knife....that sounds like a recipe for disaster.


Though Graaagh is in the process of making a group meal, Coral is too hungry to wait and stuffs her face.


Graaagh does a good job of making spaghetti. Of course, it is a rather simple meal to make.


How he manages to carry it without it falling off the plate can only be some miracle of gravity.


I can't help but smile, he is so proud of himself.


Graaagh: What are you looking at?


Tania, as one would expect given her stature, waits patiently to be served.


She talks about how beautiful the fairy glade is.


Obviously she thinks there is someone sitting right next to her, but Coral is the only other (person? freak? weirdo?) patient at the table. Maybe she's accustomed to having an audience. You know, since she's a fairy queen and all...


Then she simply gets up and leaves, regardless of the fact that Coral was still talking to her. I guess listening to others is beneath her station.


Coral and Thorne have become best friends.


Alright so I'm not talented in the kitchen. Despite the fact that I have to cook often for the patients.


Even Fenrir, who is always famished when he turns into a werewolf, chokes it down with a gag. You'd think he'd be too hungry to care.


Graaagh, tired of being brainless, decides to search the classifieds to see what he can find. Anyone have a brain they're not using?


Shayde often does this, sneaking up on people to scare them.


I guess she thinks it makes her look ominous. Personally, I think it makes her look stupid.


Fenrir and Thorne have a nice chat in the kitchen. It's nice to see them getting along so well.


About as well as a dog and a plant *can* get along, I suppose.


Not very pleasant conversation, though.


I know, I know, dogs gotta howl.


But everytime he does it, this is what happens to the rest of us...


It scares us all. We live in fear of it, and he does it several times a night. Look at poor Shayde's face.


Thorne gossips to Fenrir about my burnt spaghetti.


I can hear you two out there! I'm not deaf!


Fenrir has the decency to look shocked. Thank you Fenrir.


How's the brain hunt coming along, Graagh? Find anything yet?

Graaagh: grooooaaaannnn

Until next time...farewell from the loonybin!

This is so wonderful Astral, you make me laugh again (well I red it two times). This is a very funny story, one can think it is not a challenge just a favorite show on TV, You always take so good pictures, like you are waiting for the right moment, and the comments are Absolute fun, I laugh my head of... Gaaaa... Gaaaa...
This is a pleasure to read, good work my Lady, you have a gold star!

Thanks for the Update it was Great!

Great update Ari!!

Graagh should need a brain poor thing

Or not

Too funny, Ari. From the stinky patients, overlapping thought bubbles, snooty fairy princess to the creepy zombie walk and constant howling freaking everyone out, it's a trip. Thanks for sharing as always.

Looks like some of your patients need some lessons in Hygiene there Ari.

Beautiful photography and witty commentary. I expect nothing less from you and you always deliver.

I'm still marveling over the beauty of these Sims - even the ones that would be considered strange or alien in our society. They're all just so perfectly made.

Thank you for sharing this with us - I can't wait for more.

Here's my big question of the day:

Should a zombie, plant Sim and werewolf actually be THAT good looking in game, when all is said and done?
I've been really looking at their faces and they are actually gorgeous Sims behind all their fur & makeup!

I concur with what Hunter said ... they are all so beautifully made.

Coral is absolutely stunning. I LOVE her.
Maybe we ought to do a group update project starring either fairies or mermaids...what do you think?
I could try to do some recolors of room/object meshes that would compliment one or the other.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
This is great fun, Ari. Thank you for sharing, as always. I'm enjoying the hellouta your Asylum Challenge.

Aw...I love you guys so much!

Thank you, Jackie! Your compliments really brighten my day. I'm so happy you like it. I'm having a lot of fun with this challenge.

Ulli - hee hee hee - yeah, poor Graaagh

Thank you Em! It sure is a chaotic place. It should start getting interesting now as everyone's aspirations continue to drop everytime Fenrir howls. I'm looking forward to it, lol.

Hunter - you're making me blush, dear lady. Your comments are a joy to read and I'm glad you're enjoying my challenge. Maybe I should turn them all back to human at the end of the challenge so you can see what they looked like before I started.

Sugah -

O...M...G.... :droolin\\\':

That sounds AWESOME!!!

Thank you for your compliments on both my challenge and my sims - they are truly helping make my day!

You're evil. That line cracked me up.

LOL! Yes, I've always enjoyed chaos and randomness in this game. It amuses me.

Let's see what we can come up with.
We'll have to make some decisions, namely mermaids or fairies?
Then, we'll have to see who might be willing to partake in such a project and what each of us could offer.

I've been wanting to post something in HERE finally.
If we could get enough of us involved, it'd make an awesome, fun first group project.

I could contribute with Yemayah as a mermaid or a fairy.

You have to choose Miss Weezer!

Ah gee....that's a hard decision...especially when I'm under caffeinated.


I remembered to post my update in the challenge section. Hooray!

You can read it here

I decided to give the Duggar challenge another try. I've posted a few pics at Hunter's site here. Scroll about 3/4 way down the page for my new family - The Slews.

Awesome, Ulli! Thank you.

If no one has a preference, I might look into which would be easier to do room wise ... for a mermaid or a fairy?
Which do you think? I don't know what direction I could go with either, so I'll need to do a bit of research on both.

I'll check out your challenge now, Ari! Thank you for the heads up on that!

I will leave it up to you, darlin'. Whichever you like would be fine. I would be more than willing to do a sim and a wallpaper, or something like that.

That would be spectacular, AF.

Do you have any ideas for object recolors that might be suitable for either category, per chance?
