Terezi has quit her job as a lieutenant for the police force and become an investigator.

Among other things, she gets a snazzy new coat.

Stay classy, Pyrope.

She heads to the computer for her first case:
"Karkat Vantas wants to hire me to

...getting your girlfriend to fight your battles for you? Not cool, Karkat.

However, it's not the Red Team Karkat we know and love, but one of the clones running around town.

Terezi heads to the park, where a gaggle of Karkats lurks on the other side.

She seeks out her client. (I see you, Fef)

"SOM3 D4YS 1 H4T3 MY JOB

Terezi does so.

She once more makes a mad dash to the park to seek out her client. The correct Karkat is easy to find, as he's the only one wearing his formal shirt.

For a while they just kind of stand really close together in a dramatic pose while another Karkat looks on in disgust.

But eventually she gives him her report.

Core Mods
A core mod is one that changes the actual framework of the game, such as making changes to story progression. The two most popular right now are NRAAS and Awesomemod. Both have their benefits and drawbacks, and a simple Google search should be able to help you decide which one is best for you. Note: DO NOT INSTALL MORE THAN ONE CORE MOD AT A TIME.

The rules for this thread, as brought to us by the lovely Blueberry:

I know I'm about five months too late for this, but I'm gonna have to say that the rules of the Art Forum need to apply in here:

NO SEX

NO PREGNANCY

especially when the Sims are teenagers, seriously guys

I will not make you retcon any existing families, but from now on the only babies that can be made must be adopted or obtained through "ectobiological" (not sexual) means. You may decide whether this is done from glitching/cheating, the Create a Family screen, or with the Statue of Life mod (both to impregnate the Sim and to make them give birth instantaneously). These babies must be born to adult parents.

Ancestor sex is fine. Guardian sex (as long as they are Adults) is fine. Forumites, no. Kids and trolls, no.

edit: Here's a handy link to the Art Forum rules if you need to brush up! The "BE APPROPRIATE" section is what I'm referring to here.

I actually did about 90% of this today

went through the whole thread again

somebody kill me

**Krakash** · 07-25-2011, 08:51 PM

Woah. That sure is a big OP!

If I can whip up all my installing shit for Sims 3 on this computer, I would probably need to do this. Lost some disks though

Senseless post is senseless, please to try at least comment on the OP or the threads content, post counts don't mean anything so there is no need to pad yours.

That being said,
In a rare moment of optimism I attempted to install the sims 3 on my computer again. I turned the graphics way down, had no extra content or expansions and I managed to get it to run a whole minute and a half before my computer died!
Looks like I'm slumming it in Sims 2 town until this computer kicks it.

**MyCurrentObsession** · 07-26-2011, 08:56 AM

Oh, yes, this is what I've been waiting for. I've been playing a Sims 2 version with the trolls and humans, and I wanted to wait until this thread to post all that's happened. Which is a lot, and I mean a lot. No pictures, unfortunately, since 1) I don't really know how to take them on the game and get them from there to here, and 2) even if I did, my trolls might look odd to you all, since they're dressed in normal clothes as opposed to their canon outfits.

Anyways, I split them up originally the same way most did: Red and Blue teams, the four kids. I'll detail the main happenings in each group under headings. Be ready for the huge walls of text beneath each spoiler.

Red Team

The red team started out comparatively tame, and pretty much followed what I wanted for them to happen (at first). See, I was trying to set up all the potential romances people had with all their canon potential interests. This was possible without lots of jealousy and heartbreak due to the wonderful ACR (Autonomous Casual Romance, for those unfamiliar with it), which, along with being able to set things like how jealous sims would get when their love interests were caught interacting romantically with others, is also very useful for... shenanigans.

Anyway, Karkat and Terezi struck up a romance, Vriska started pursuing Kanaya and Tavros, and Gamzee was left alone for the time being (though I had him and Tavros become friends). I waited patiently for the team to get acquainted with the other sims, and when they did Karkat also got romantic with Jade and Nepeta, while Terezi first befriended and then finally romanced Dave. Kanaya and Rose also got romantic (this one was difficult because, due to Rose's prior interactions with John, she was slightly biased in favor of men, and Kanaya had to sway her into willing to accept female advances). It literally took forever to get John and Vriska to meet, so I was ecstatic when they finally did... and then I was pissed, because they had a negative attraction score. This was one of the few couples I had been pretty set on making happen (like, going past love and into marriage), so I'm still kind of irritated. Either way they're best friends now.

Karkat and Vriska also ended up romantically interacting, which is due in part to my love for Karkat

Vriska and in part for the fact that, out of all the girls Karkat was with, Vriska was the one whom he had the highest attraction score for (another benefit of ACR: instead of just getting the 1-2-3 bolts of attraction, ACR calculates their attraction based on turn-ons and -offs and gives it a number; the higher the better). Tavros caught the two of them in the act and got all jealous, which I could have stopped, but I let it happen, because I'd kind of been planning for something to bring down Tavros/Vriska anyway. He had been annoyingly attracted to her (a flip of canon, where she actually wasn't that interested in him, but he liked her), which had been ironically funny at first, but then just irritating because he kept ignoring Gamzee's advances in favor of Vriska.

Anyway, someone got a little too crazy pushing buttons and due to ectobiology Vriska and Karkat had a daughter. He let her name it under the condition that it wasn't Spinneret or Mindfang (she loopholed him and named the girl Marquise). They decided that, since they have a kid, they might as well get married. Currently Tavros and Gamzee are engaged, as well (Tavros and Vriska have almost repaired their relationship to a friendly level, while he still really dislikes Karkat, which is funny, because Karkat actually has a high relationship score with him).

Oh, also, I've been liberally using the aging on/off cheat, so all my characters are only a few days old adults (and yet most of them are near the top of their careers). I only turned aging on recently so all the kids could age. More about Terezi and Kanaya under the Blue and Kids groups respectively.

Blue Team

The blue team started pairing itself off quicker than the red team (mainly due to ACR asserting its authority over me), but I had a harder time deciding if I liked the outcome. Nepeta met Karkat pretty much right away (he was one of the visitors that came to welcome them into the neighborhood), and they started flirting instantly (to make it more like canon, technically I had Nepeta doing all the flirting; Karkat just accepted it). She really liked him, and would in time fall in love with him, but unfortunately was doomed to failure when it comes to attraction score (one of his turn-ons is glasses, which all his other love interests have). Aradia and Sollux also paired themselves together pretty much autonomously (ACR decided they were in the mood for shenanigans when they visited the kids' lot together), though I still had Sollux pursue Feferi, as well. It seemed like Eridan and Feferi were going to get together, but she lost all interest in him when Sollux started showing some interest in her. Equius was left alone for the time being (I could have had him get with Aradia, but I wanted to leave her unattached until I was sure who I wanted Sollux to be with, plus I'm... not the biggest fan of Equius/Aradia. I don't hate it, but...).

This is where the drama comes in. One day, everyone was at work except Nepeta and Eridan (the former had the day off, the latter works at night), so just for shits and giggles, I had them flirt with each other. Why not? They were both romance sims, after all (at the time; I later changed Nepeta to a family sim using another mod, the handy dandy College Adjuster). Their wants re-rolled, and suddenly they both wanted to go on a date with the other. So they did, and through shenanigans got it up to Dream Date status. Over the course of the date, somehow their attraction score went from one bolt (mild chemistry) to three (perfect chemistry). Three bolts is a very rare occasion, so I thought maybe these two would be good for each other (plus I knew Nepeta's love for Karkat wasn't going anywhere, same as Eridan's for Feferi). I had him ask her to be in a committed relationship (adult version of going steady). A few days later, he meets Terezi. They are insanely attracted to each other. Their score was just under three bolts, so I was going to pass it off and keep him with Nepeta (who had had gotten engaged to), but then I did a double-take at their score: it had somehow gone back down to one bolt. I was highly confused, but I had him flirt it up with Terezi, as suddenly she was his best match (in case it's not obvious, what with all the romance going on, I tried to put everyone with the person they had the highest score with). Needless to say, things went too far, and Nepeta caught them. Tearful breakups ensued.

(By the way, the reason their attraction went up is because at one point they were in the hot tub, and one of Eridan's turn-ons is swimwear. I only figured this out later)

Eridan ended up moving out, as did Terezi. They have their own place, and are kind of boring to play now, considering it's just the two of them. No ectobiological babies for them. They are engaged, though. I've been having Terezi be the one to keep proposing they take their relationship to the next level, so Eridan, as a romance sim, can turn it down if he so wishes. They are a cute couple, so I'd prefer they stay together and eventually get married, but at the same time I've got this horrid interest in having him leave her at the alter, mainly because I've never actually had that happen to me on any sim playthrough.

Despite his higher attraction score with Aradia, Sollux seemed consistently more interested in Feferi. Due to this, I couldn't bring myself to break them up and have him go with Aradia and her go with Equius (who she had the highest chemistry with; they were never more than friends, though). The two of them moved out, as well, and soon after through ectobiology had twin boys Castor and Pollux.

Somewhat to my chagrin, I had Aradia and Equius start pursuing a romance (for the record, ACR agrees with me; their attraction score is absolutely horrible. Just barely one bolt). The two have since gotten married (though she's already gone and "gotten friendly" with Tavros behind his back). Meanwhile, Nepeta, through ectobiological shenanigans, has twins now, as well. A boy named Leon, and a girl named Pounce. For some inexplicable reason, all three of the adults in the house prefer Pounce. Poor Leon. The father is technically Karkat, but he doesn't know it (the memory of having two other children is a lie! He doesn't know the kids at all). In fact, no one outside the household knows of the two children's existence.

Kids

John-Jade and Dave-Rose are not siblings. I sacrificed their sibling relationship so I could give them different last names, plus I wanted all possibilities to be open.

Uh. I don't know what the rule is regarding anything that may or may not have happened between canonical siblings, so I'll try and keep it to a minimum. I'll even take it out if I have to...?

Jade spent a long time totally unable to figure out which of her possible love interests she liked most. She kept alternating between Dave and Karkat before finally settling on John, who she had the highest score with.

Before that, though, John and Rose sort of had a thing for a little while. Now however, they've parted ways and moved on to different loves. For instance, Rose has had Kanaya move in, and they are currently "Joined" (married). I did actually think for a little while about pairing John and Karkat, however, I adhered to his status as "not a homosexual" and only had him be with women.

Dave, in addition to romancing Jade and Terezi and briefly Rose, also had a brief fling with Aradia. For a little while, it looked like they might even end up together, as out of all his respective interests, she had the highest score (and his score was much higher than Equius'). However they still only had one bolt. In fact, Dave never had two bolts with anyone until he brought home a friend from work. A townie named Gina, she was the first girl he showed more interest in, plus she was actually kind of cute (if you didn't know, most townies in the Sims 2 are... not pretty). He actually brought her home a few times (like, two or three), growing closer to her. Plus she called him up like three times asking him to go out on a date. So I guess their relationship is the closet to realistic in that it took quite a while before they ended up married (I discovered when she moved in that, not only did she work with him, oh, no, she's his boss! Already at the top of the career).

Since the house was kind of small (too small for six people, and definitely too small if ectobiology ever got involved), John and Jade moved to their own place and got married. Due to ectobiology, they ironically became the parents of Nanna and Hass.

(Erm... you may have noticed that there are an awful lot of twins going on here. Blame cheesecake.)

I was just making sure I existed in this thread.

Oh crap really?
Sucks bro.

**PriffyViole** · 07-26-2011, 02:49 PM

I haven't played it in a while, but I think I just might be one of, if not the, only person with a completely working Sims 3.

I never installed any mods, so that may have something to do with it.

And in case I don't have a working Sims 3, I also have Sims 2.

**Weeaboo** · 07-26-2011, 02:50 PM

I'd have to ask my sister if her Sims 3 worked.

But I know that my Sims 2 definitely works.

**Varkarrus** · 07-26-2011, 09:58 PM

Yo cC, do you have a non-corrupted version of your SB&HJ house yet? I am almost done reinstallind Sims 3.

**amymist** · 07-27-2011, 10:06 AM

Hi guys. Still haven't fixed my game because I am a derp. Although I do have some screenshots of my main game, which is mostly not trolls if anyone wanted to see that?

**Elkian** · 07-27-2011, 10:16 AM

Okay, so do we have two dropboxes? I know I made one but I don't know where this other one came from.

**Varkarrus** · 07-27-2011, 01:12 PM

I made the other one. It's a shared folder, so people PM me to get it. I beleive it has a fair bit more than 2Gbs at the moment, maybe more like 3.

Still figuring out what went wrong, really. X_X I'll see what I can do, but I'm not sure if I'll even get it un-corrupted sigh.

**MiniBurton** · 07-27-2011, 07:07 PM

Man, what is with everyone's games suddenly deciding to break? :c

Inex, that OP is a beautiful work of art, and you should feel good about it.
