Day 1 of "Lost at Sea"
Posted: 15 Sep 2013, 12:00
Your boat owning Sim had placed an advert online looking for a travelling companion to accompany him/her during a journey across the Neptune Ocean. They met on the departure day after several exchanges about the details by phone. The first few days went fine, the weather was nice and the ocean relatively smooth. Then one night, a big bang sounded followed by metallic grinding noises...
Oh no! What started as a nice journey across the ocean turned out to be a disaster. Engine failure and both Sims don't have sufficient enough knowledge of engines to get the boat back in working order. They start to blame each other for their lack of knowledge and being stuck out in the ocean.
The situation turns grimmer by the hour. After a fierce argument they each stay as far away from the other. First to call for help and investigate the engine trouble, later to focus on their hobbies to pass the time.
Tasks/Goals:
- Board your two Sims, remove any doors leading outside.
- If you haven't done so, place a woodworking bench and a Fashion Design Studio as far away from each other as possible inside the boat. Also make sure you have a telephone on board. I know this might mean rearranging furniture, but it's part of the fun.
- Make your Sims “Dislike” each other.
- One Sim will be “On hold with Tech Support”, the other starts digging in the “Big book of Stuff”. Once the “On hold” and reading is finished, both can start a hobby (or do hobbies first of that suits your timing better).
- No careers' stuff may be used yet.
- You can have your Sims do other things once the tasks are completed (hobbying at least once).
Reminder: Please do NOT use LPs to finish tasks/goals as stated in the initial outline
Reminder 2: Cloud save regularly, especially when going for a visit to neighbours with another sim.
Feel free to add comments, suggestions, pictures, your stories to each day as they come along. I'll be closing threads approximately 24 hours after the end of finishing that day. So day 1 will be closed at the start of day 3.
