IZO SPERGING ABOUT NAPOLEON

I’ve always described Izo’s apartment as being pretty traditionally Japanese (futons instead of beds, no western chairs, etc) save for a few mid-century modern pieces, and while Sims3 comes up a bit short in the latter department, I was able to give him an appropriately traditional setup, complete with a tatami-ish platform to one side, the way he has one in his IC apartment. I also added a shitload of book stacks to reflect what a gigantic nerd he is.

Cast of the House: Izo

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:46:16 -0400

Izo’s character traits are as follows:

Athletic: He’ll learn the athletics skill faster, fatigue more slowly, and enjoy talking about athletics.

Brave: See: Mits, Masahiko, etc.

Cat Person: He builds relationships with cats more quickly, can train cats more quickly, and prefers to socialize with cats more than other sims.

Genius: He’ll learn the logic skill faster, be good at chess, and good at math.

Good Sense of Humor: See: Masahiko

His lifetime ambition is Perfect Mind, Perfect Body.

Naomi’s room was just supposed to reflect Excellent Taste...

Nao!

All of the fashions and makeups.

Bed, candles, tiffany lamp.

Bathroom, girly shit, oils, lotions, etc

Naomi’s room was just supposed to reflect Excellent Taste and all of her Fashion Love, so I gave her dress models, two shoe racks, cosmetics, and not one but TWO dressers. Easy-peasy.

Cast of the House: Naomi

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:05:15 -0400

Naomi’s character traits are:

Adventurous: She feels great when traveling to a new location for the first time, gains visa levels faster, and is able to travel more often.

Flirty: She can flirt early in a relationship, her flirts are accepted more often, and she’s particularly gifted at giving massages.

Charismatic: She gains charisma points quickly, is personable enough that others will be more likely to listen to what she says, her conversations never bore, and she makes friends faster.

Good: See: Mits, etc.

Perceptive: This trait contributes to success in various aspects of the Investigation career track, and also allows her to learn the traits of other sims more quickly through socializing.

Her lifetime ambition is Super Popular — make friends with 20 sims (but her profession will probably be Investigation-oriented).

As you may have noticed, the majority of Yisa’s room is...

Yisa!

CASTLE DE NAPOLEON

Napoleon's bed. Yisa's...mad?

Seriously wtf is she mad about??

Dresser with leash and cat radio.

Bed (SINGLE), cat toys (various)

Bathroom, with cat litter zapper.

As you may have noticed, the majority of Yisa’s room is taken up with shit for Napoleon. This is working as intended. I have no idea what she’s pissed off about; I didn’t even notice she was mad until I paused the game to take pictures.

Cast of the House: Yisa

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 17:40:13 -0400

Yisa has the following character traits:

Brave: See: Mits, Masahiko, etc.

Hopeless Romantic: See: Kyo.

Hot-Headed: Yisa will bypass getting sad or uncomfortable, and just get really mad. Certain things can also trigger her getting upset, like things breaking or other sims not being nice.

No Sense of Humor: Doesn’t really enjoy jokes very much.

Unflirty: She also just isn’t into ‘that flirting nonsense.’ She has to really like a sim in order to open up like that.

Her lifetime ambition is Leader of the Free World. It requires a lot of charisma. …we will see how that goes.

Like the rest of the rooms, this isn’t really anything...

Masa!

He blinked

Frosted office door for his bedroom.

Overview of the layout.

Vibrating bed, heart rug, blacklight.

Corkboard with Intelligence on it.

Bathroom, with personal abs bench.

Like the rest of the rooms, this isn’t really anything like I picture Masa’s living space IC, but the parts of him that crack me up were too good to pass up here: hence the tacky vibrating bed with blacklight, the flame-pattern lamps, the forest of hamster cages, and the personal abs bench in his bathroom. I did add a cork board to represent his schemey side though, so that’s…something, right?

Cast of the House: Masahiko

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:38:41 -0400

Masahiko has the following traits:

Brave: See: Mitsuru’s blurb

Good: See: Mitsuru’s blurb

Ambitious: See: Seiichi’s blurb

Dramatic: This sim is very emotional and finds many activities to be very sensational and tragic. He’s likely to react violently when insulted by others, and may burst into tears of joy or sorrow.

Good Sense of Humor: Sims laugh at his jokes more often, and jokes strengthen relationships more than normal.

His lifetime ambition is CEO of a Mega-Corporation. Self-explanatory.

Kyo’s room was the hardest for me to make. How do you...

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:30:00 -0400

Kyo!

Kitchen doo- I mean, Kyo's bedroom doors

Overhead layout!

dresser, knife block, giant mirror

Beds for twins, silent hill grates

bedside cat grass

carnivorous plant, bathtub chainsaw

medicine cabinet for 'things', mirror #2

Kyo’s room was the hardest for me to make. How do you decorate for a guy who doesn’t care about decorating? I think I’m happiest with the gigantic mirrors, the cat grass, the kitchen doors, and the knife block on the dresser.

Cast of the House: Kyo

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:25:02 -0400

Kyo has the following traits:

Evil: Kyo gets the Fiendishly Delighted moodlet when misfortune strikes nearby sims. He likes the dark, will excel in the criminal career track, and will fare well in most fights.

Hopeless Romantic: Other sims will be more receptive to his romantic advances. He’ll be in a better mood around sims he’s romantically interested in. His romances will seem to always go well, and he’ll prefer to read romance novels.

Insane: When choosing clothes, he’ll choose what feels right, not what ‘is’ right. He’ll make decisions on a whim, and his wishes may not always make sense.

Mean Spirited: More enemies will mean a better mood for Kyo, and he’ll be likely to win at fights.

Snob: He will love to gloat. He’ll be happy when I purchase expensive things. He gets the ‘I am Beautiful!’ moodlet from looking in the mirror, and Snob sims will particularly love a house filled with mirrors ‘so that they can see how great they are.’

His ambition is Emperor of Evil — to head up a diabolical organization. This isn’t QUITE right, but nothing else seemed sufficient. ;)

I thought Seiichi would have a cool, dark room with modern tech....

Seii! With cool-guy eyepatch.

This is Seiichi's bedroom door.

This is the top-down layout of the room.

Dresser + skull + video camera

Bed. Tissue and lotion. Sorry man. Canon

Bathroom, with FIREMAN POLE EXIT

This is where the pole lands on the 1F.

I thought Seiichi would have a cool, dark room with modern tech. You can’t see it here, but the hanging chandeliers glow with blue light. I added a skull (even though it isn’t a black or crystal skull) and a video camera for his spy-like exploits, a few things near the bed for his continuing UST with Mits, and an escape route in the bathroom. You’re welcome.

Cast of the House: Seiichi

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:00:38 -0400

Seiichi has the following traits:

Ambitious: Gets promotions and raises faster than others; may get anxious if he hasn’t gotten one in a while. He also gets more satisfaction from advancing in his career.

Born Salesman: His items sell for more, he builds reputation faster, and he’s more likely to build a positive reputation by selling items he makes.

Daredevil: Same as the listing in Mits’ post.

Rebellious: His chance of getting caught while setting traps or causing pranks is greatly reduced; his chances of getting caught violating curfew are greatly reduced, and he gets special moodlets and takes great pride in interactions and activities that are rebellious.

Virtuoso: He learns instruments faster, and also makes better tips when playing for others.

His lifetime ambition is International Super-Spy. I don’t think that this needs any explanation.

For Mits’ room, I wanted to combine the poshest of the...

For Mits’ room, I wanted to combine the poshest of the ritziest of furniture and girly things like candles and perfume with…tools for making robots.

Mission accomplished.

Cast of The House: Mits

Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:37:17 -0400

So, to start this blog off, I’m gonna give a rundown of the people in the house, their personal traits, and their customized bedrooms. It’s easiest to do this one at a time — so we’re starting with Mitsuru.

Mitsuru has the following traits:

Brave: This means she never panics, even in emergencies, can handle any house fire easily, can handle burglars without waiting for the police, and can do exceptionally well in military and law enforcement careers.

Daredevil: This means Mits will ‘perform extreme versions of normal activities,’ that she loves a ‘good adrenaline rush,’ and loves fire (though she can extinguish it quickly in emergencies.’

Good: She can donate to charity (clicking on the mailbox), doesn’t even consider doing mean interactions with other sims, and gives other sims the ‘Comforted’ moodlet when interacting with them.

Workaholic: Workaholic sims are more successful when asking for promotions/raises, less stressed from working — they get a ‘likes working’ moodlet — and they can work at home from the computer.

Vehicle Enthusiast: These sims build relationships with vehicles more quickly, and can automatically name them. (I got her a motorcycle.)

Her lifetime ambition is Paranormal Profiteer: Basically, a ghost-hunter and paranormal expert. I was torn between this and the wacky inventor career path, but this seemed more SEES-like. Next post: pictures!
