Sims 3 Big Brother: Monster House Edition

It was just another morning. You were getting ready for whatever you usually get ready for, and with a cup of your preferred morning beverage in hand you were leafing through the usual junk mail. You wondered to yourself, as usual, why you even bothered, until you came to the last letter. It was crinkled pale yellow, and it looked like it was addressed to you, but you've always had a hard time reading ink-splotched, archaic handwriting. It was sealed with some important looking wax crest, so you cut open the letter with a small knife from the kitchen (since that wax crest looked pretty sweet). Inside it read,

Dear [LONG LOST YOUNGER RELATIVE],

Hi-ho! It's me, your [LONG LOST OLDER RELATIVE]. I'm speaking to you now after never contacting you in your young life because I have some important news for you. Well, speaking in a sense, because if you're reading this that means I'm dead. Now, don't break out the tissues and grieving parties yet, because this is actually wonderful news for you! Y'see, my close family are a bunch of backstabbing n'er-do-wells, and in a fit of pique I've decided I don't want any of them to have a speck of my mind-boggling fortune. So I've decided to give it all to you, because letting a stranger have it would let me rest a lot more peacefully than if any of those people. Enjoy it! It's your problem now.

Below that were a series of directions on how to get to your new mansion and wishes of luck from your now dead [LONG LOST OLDER RELATIVE]. The other papers in the letter looked like a bunch of important documents that were proof that you (yes, you) were now the owner of riches beyond your imagination. But the estate was quite far; in fact, you've never heard of the neighborhood. Or country. Or continent. Could you leave behind all you've known and owned, all your friends and family, just on the word of some letter?

Hell yes.

So you packed up your things and whisked yourself away to your new home, following the directions given in the letter. It wasn't an uncomfortable journey but... you don't really want to dwell on the specifics. Nevertheless, you eventually find yourself in front of your new mansion.



And what a mansion it was! You couldn't believe your eyes! The front garden was kept in impeccable shape, and the rich color of the outer walls themselves made the mansion look like it was brand new. You yanked the door open and stepped into your new domain.



Imposing marble framed the doorways as your raced down the gaudy hallways. The house was practically filled with things you didn't even need, but dang was it all impressive.





You found the stairs and climbed them up two at a time....



But in your delirium, you didn't see the bunching in the hallway carpet...



And you fell flat on your face, but not before smacking your noggin on the nearby marble table.


*****************************************

The first thing you realized was the taste of ashen garlic in your mouth. Next was the fact that your cheek felt moist, probably from your drool. And third was that you were lying down in a terribly uncomfortable position.



Shakily, you pushed yourself up on all fours. You squinted up at the light flooding the room, and your neck felt like it was made of wood. Someone had drawn your outline on the floor, and you weren't sure if it was chalk or paint. When you felt up to it, you finally took a look around the room.



The air felt thick and it smelled like mildew. You peered over at the hole in the floor, and when you realized how thin the flooring actually was, you hastily crawled your way down the stairs to the ground floor.



You leaned up against the walls for support, noted that the wallpaper was peeling and soft under your hands, but you didn't stop to take in the sights. You fumbled your way past the whatsit that covered the floor and found your way outside.



Well great. Just great. You muttered obscenities to yourself as you took in the view of the backyard. Obviously, this must have been one big joke that someone pulled for whatever godsforsaken reason. Probably fairies. Or maybe that witch you accidentally cut in line at the supermarket that one time.



Still fuming, you make your way to jump the fence, but when you try to go over you feel yourself slip right off. You try to straddle over the fence again and again, but you somehow lose your balance each time. You finally let out a groan of frustration, and the wind blows through the branches of the nearby dead tree. You swear you hear a chuckle, and then you know you hear a clear voice rumble in a space behind your eyes,

"Why don't you stay a while and play with me? I've been lonely for so long. I promise, I won't hurt you, but I can't say the same for the others... Won't you play my game? A prize awaits the victor, but the nature of the prize all depends on you..."

Welcome to Sims 3 Big Brother: Monster House Edition
Where the rules are made up and the points don't matter


pay my little sim there no mind



This is the Monster House, where 8 lucky Sims will get to play the Game in order to stay for however long they can, so they can win the Grand Prize! This is going to be based off this Big Brother challenge posted here.


The Rules

• 8 Sims, all Young Adult or older, and strangers to everyone in the house. Male, female, anything in between, based on anything, doesn't matter.
• Aging will be turned off/won't matter.
• All the Sims must be monsters. This means they must be a Werewolf, Fairy, Witch, or Vampire.
• Every Monday there will be some sort of challenge. Don't expect anything grandiose. Every Wednesday the challenge is over, and whoever has the most points will be deemed The Nastiest. The Nastiest and whoever they have the worst relationship with will have access to The Nasty Room, which will have all sorts of good and fun things.
• On Thursday, the two Sims who have the best relationship with The Nastiest will be put up for eviction.
• On Sunday, every houseguest besides The Nastiest will vote on who to evict based on who they have the least relationship with. In case of a tie it will be left to an audience vote.
• When it's down to two Sims, the other evicted houseguests will convene and give their opinion on who should win, and then it will fall to an audience vote.
• >>>Tentative Rule<<< A Sim can only be The Nastiest once.
• A Sim can only leave the Monster House through eviction. If they're killed, they will be replaced, and they won't be able to give their opinion or vote at the endgame.

Character Creation

• If you want to play, it's first come first served. But even though the list is full, please still send me your info if you want to play! They will be put in Reserve, in case Unfortunate Things happen...
• Please limit the CC. I have a default skin and eye texture replacement, and I don't mind using a CC hair or whatever, but try not to go overboard. I don't have slider hacks. If this is gibberish to you, don't worry about it.
• I have all the expansion packs, but no stuff packs.
• PM me your character information. It can be a text description, pictures, powerpoint, a Sim file, whatever. The basics that I need are:

1. Name
2. Sex
3. Age (Young Adult, Adult, or Elder)
4. Choose whether they are a Werewolf, Fairy, Witch, or Vampire. No super-special mixing.
5. Some sort of description of physical features so I can try my best to make it. Pictures are best, but whatever works for you. I'm not the greatest character modeler, so I'll try to work with you to get the best possible Sim that fits ~*your vision*~
6. Some sort of clothing guideline. I need Everyday clothes, Formalwear, Pajamas/Undies, Athletic wear, Swimwear, and Outdoor/Cold Weather Clothes. Outdoor clothes are not so important since they'll be stuck on this lot.
7. Personality! The meat and potatoes of this game. Each Sim needs 5 traits that will form their little AI brains. Some traits conflict with each other but I don't know them off the top of my head, but they're pretty intuitive (a shy sim wouldn't be a social butterfly as well, right?). I don't have hidden traits unlocked. If the trait has no icon, that means it's from a different game.
8. Lifetime Wish
9. Astrological Sign
10. Favorite Food, Color, Music Genre
11. Voice. Leave it to me, or tell me if it's high pitched or low if you want. I'll be the only one to hear it....

What Am I Going to Do

Hopefully, not much. I'll leave the Sims to fend for themselves and just focus on taking pictures. I'll intervene if their routing gets stuck or something else game-breaking. If they're killing themselves/each other, I'm not going to stop them. that's why we're here, isn't it I'll only cancel wants if they're career-related, since they're all going to be a bunch of slackers.

I'm mostly using nraas mods like StoryProgression. I don't think they should affect the sims too much...

This is the first time I've done a Big Brother game, and I pretty much changed the basic rules on the spot, so hopefully it all works out. I won't be starting for some time, so let me know what you think of the rules, or any other ideas you have.

I want to play! Can I send the PM along later this evening?

SO FUCKING IN I'll PM you my info in later

Hee, I accidentally posted before realizing I was supposed to PM. Idiot. But, er, how do we PM you when your profile is hidden? Or is that just me? Maybe I did something wrong and got ignored oops.

Oh jeez I didn't even know. I'll try to fix it... I'm going with PM's just to keep everything organized, but it's not a big deal.

Of course! :D

I'M IN I'M IN I'M IN.

I mean, could you kindly reserve me a spot while I make my profile~?

Sent you a pm with the details to the best of my ability.

I'd like to reserve a spot if possible, I can whip up a character later this evening. :)

Can I reserve a spot as well? This looks awesome >D

Could I maybe be put on reserve, if that's ok? I've been a Sim before so I don't want to steal that from someone else :).

I wasn't...fast enough. Or was I?

You just got in! :3

So that's all 8, everyone else is free to be placed in reserve if they want to join.

Excellent, I'll PM you info, since the Sim I usually play with is entirely too easy to make.

Ooh~! I have to go and make my pretty pretty fairy self now~ >:3 I really want the sims 3. Sob.

Aww, I was a bit too late :( I'll wait in the reserve then!

I should have my profile in a little later tonight (sorry!).

Oh shoot, missed my chance. Could I please be placed in reserve?

No need to rush, I won't be starting for a while yet.

You realize this means I have to do a personal Big Brother on my own right? Thanks for implanting this into my head.

I'll be a reserve! :D If... If that's okay with you.

maniskumquat, is it possible to submit my sim already made in .sim form? Otherwise I'll write it all out. :)

Yep!

OH darn it, I'm late!
Can I be in the reserve, then?

eheuheuheuehuehue
SOMEONE'S playing the game with everything on high, lord your game looks gorgeous. This looks really, really interesting and I will be stalking the everloving fuck out of it mmmhmm yes. <3

I admit, my first thought on the first post was not "Oo, LP!" but "My god, that's a much better system than I can run Sims 3 on, now, isn't it. Look at those textures."

Oh believe me, once I get all 8 sims in my laptop is going to go WHRRRRRRRINE and I'll have to lower some things. Enjoy it while it lasts...

For me, it was the light shining off of the chair in one of those first few images. It makes me wonder what my world is supposed to look like.

MY EYES SAY IT TASTES LIKE CANDY. DELICIOUS CANDY MADE BY THE HEAVENS ABOVE.

I'd like to be put on reserve.

All the character sheets are in, so now all that's left is for me to find the time to make them. Huzzah!

Following. Following ever so much.

Hell yeah, I'll lurk under your covers any night. ;)

I felt a bit weird liking that.

That might just be because I seem to prefer avatars who constantly seem to be judging me.

Ozzo, please. Spare us your snoring, I'd like to sleep tonight.

Who said I'd get into bed with your flailing limbs?

Says the human barnacle. I flail in an effort to free myself and breathe. And you always stick your icicle toes into the back of my knees.

A new OTP appears!

You always flailed in your sleep, even before we started sleeping together.

How many times did I wake up to a crash in the middle of the night because you fell off the bed?

why is this happening
