juushikaGhost and Aaron: Master List | Next Update
You guys have no one to blame for this but yourselves—but after a few folk actually enjoying my Sims 3 picspam, I feel free to post more Sims 3 pics now. ^_^ Mostly, though, I'm posting due to interesting and amusing events. But to begin at the beginning...
With, er, some pretty pictures! No, really, these are just pointless shots that I like but don't make for much in the way of a narrative.
Ghost learning chess, in the park, at night, after playing in the sprinkler.
He just keeps growing on me.
Aaron with butterflies.
Because, er, it's pretty?
Random Old Men like sprinklers, too.
Moral of the story: putting a sprinkler in central park remains one of the best things I've done in my game.
The downside of costume makeup-layer piercings (this set), is:
they transform into a random system costume makeup when a sim gets naked. But it amuses me.
Meanwhile, things with Ghost and Aaron precede apace. It'd odd—for a while I was playing with very full households, so there would be more chance of, more variety in, inter-sim interactions. Then I dumped these two in a rundown house with nothing more exciting than a splintered foosball table—and they've proven to be endlessly entertaining. I finally took away almost all their cash (thank you, familyFunds cheat), so they're living off produce from Central Park's community garden and Ghost's part-time job. Aaron could pawn off the goods he steals, but they make too pretty a collection. They've developed a comfortable routine: Aaron makes messes, Ghost cleans them, and they occupy each other's hours in comfortable companionship. So:
We begin our story with Aaron, who is sort of a dick.
He's expanding to petty vandalism as well as petty theft.
Meanwhile, his klepto's trove has grown by a light fixture, flower vase, and second headstone.
If you object so to ghosts, I recommend you stop taking their headstones home.
Spontaneous affection pleases their creator.
They're just adorable.
See? Adorable!
But I'm not the only one to think so... let's zoom in on the background.
All of my female sims are gay-stalking self-parodies, I swear.
Emily is lovely when she's not shamelessly gawking, though.
(Even if everyone I'm not playing has taken to living in exercise wear.)
See? Proceeding apace! Ghost got a job, Aaron stole another light, everyone played in the park sprinkler and was happy. And then AwesomeMod updated to support the 1.3 patch, so I downloaded the patch, updated AwesomeMod, beat myself over the head with my computer (the game-breaking problem turned out to be really small and easy to fix, but it was a pain in the ass to find), and then sent out to test the patch. There are reported problems with it, you see, so I figured I'd run a day or three on super-speed, sit back and watch for bugs, and then quit without saving.
Except the following day of complete autonomy was ... interesting. All I did was speed up and slow down time—I didn't even cancel actions. They made food, slept, peed, watched some crappy TV, played foosball, painted, each of the boys hanging out on different halves of the house and killing time. Then Ghost's image popped up on Aaron's queue, so I slowed time down to find:
I don't even know what to tell you. No flirting, no lead up, Aaron just trooped across the house to kiss Ghost.
And Ghost approves.
So my game self-populates gay. That's completely normal, right?
They wandered back to their own devices for a bit.
Yay, horrifically burned carbonara! Yes, he ate it.
Aaron managed to get over his fears for... some foosball.
This ghost makes a beeline to the foosball table every time she spawns.
The problem is, Aaron is still a dick.
Nevermind their friendship or budding romance, he still picks a fight.
He almost feels bad about it, though.
So the day ended a bit awkwardly for these two...
Which isn't entirely surprising, given it began with spontanous kissing.
Known issues with the 1.3 patch include everything from disappearing households to freezing and crashing, so there's a chance that the boys may lose all memory of their Very Odd, Unexpectedly Amorous Autonomous Day. But for now I've saved it to a new file and shall see where it goes. I initially had vague plans to leave these two to their own interpersonal ends and decide for themselves whether they were friends or lovers, but the new direction they've taken still came way out of left field. Not that I don't approve (although it is a bit odd to sit back and just watch the game like it were TV ... and still have it be nearly as interesting as player influence makes it), mind, but I am surprised.
