Trailer Park ChallengeChapter X

This chapter is brought to you by a glitch that occurs everytime the original EAxis household limit is exceeded. See if you can find it.

With the 10,000 that was brought in, I got the folks a double-wide trailer!

And because you all love house tours…

I expanded the kiddy room, added another bathroom, a private bedroom for the soon-to-be-weds and a mini nursery, since it seems to be impossible to keep the stereo off for more than 5 minutes.

I also got a junker so the groom can increase his mechanical skills (it’s one of Neo’s turn-ons).

So, who is this mysterious man?

Benjamin LongKnowledge2 neat 3 outgoing 9 active 7 playful 4 niceSome career-related LTWOne of the turn-ons was red hair… I’ve forgot the restAlso, despite being shy, he came with a shitload of friends.

First mission: Scold Buffy for digging up the future driveway.

The second is to quit his job as a Professional Party Guest.

I know right.

“Do I have to have this beard, Creator?”

You can call me Voice for now. And yes, yes you do. Now go buy something better to wear.

Isn’t that so much better than the sweater-shorts combo?

“I think someone’s used this before me.”

All the better!

Hey Ben, come down and greet this guy.

“Why? I’m an introvert, you know.”

No you’re not. Hurry up, this guy’s clear trailer spouse material.

We´ve hit a goldmine.

After much consideration, I went with the TV.

Though some people still prefer the old-fashioned ways of fun.

“Day 541. My sister is still as obnoxious as ever.”

I also got a little something for – wait, is that a smile I see?

“Thanks, Voice. Now get the hell out of my face.”

Geez, so much for gratitude.

Guess who’s regretting their life choices.

Luckily there’s someone to make it all worth it <3

The fraternity of manliness has commenced.

“I don’t get what you see in high heels to be honest. They’re so 2008!”

“Ew, Mom!”

“Wasn’t me!”

Isn’t payback sweet?

“Don’t you get ashamed having all of the kids from the school bus seeing this dump?

“Well, it may look worse than a bombshell, but it’s home.”

Go on, just ignore the purpose of assigning a second master bedroom.

Gee, I know you hate your sister, but you don’t have to act like her because of it.

“*composts contents*”

“Thanks for helping me out, Ben!”

“No problem kiddo. In exchange, can I swing you around?”

“Sure!”

“WEEEEEEE”

Wants: fulfilled.

Hey, don’t go ruining your future-in-law’s painting if you’re not going to paint!

I know I should scold her but this is just freaking adorable.

“I feel like I’m being cross-questioned.”

No, I’m just letting you get acquainted to each member of the family before… well, you’ll see.

“He’s really creepy, right! Like one of those on TV!”

Okay, now go get approval from the parents.

He’s sure to list off his merits.

“She doesn’t want to listen to me.”

Ilo just has a hard time accepting the fact that her baby girl is an adult.

“I thought of asking the Voice if we could go on a second honeymoon.”

And apparently craving a bribe in exchange for the bride.

“Ben, will you become my husband?”

“It’s so shiny…”

“Of course I will, Neo!”

“Where did she go?”

Yup, immediately after getting engaged.

“That’s for not respecting Mom’s wishes!”

“At least I’m useful unlike some ungrateful twats around here! Besides, she’s been waiting for me to tie the knot!”

What does a depressed playful sim do? That’s right, almost destroy the fridge door by playing with it.

Achievement unlocked: Give your mom both a heart attack and a broken arm.

Of course they find pranking each other hilarious.

“You guys are so embarrassing! Why did I have to be born into this family?”

Free Will really boosts my relationship with Ilo and Bruce <3

“Can you believe this guy, Bar?”

“I’m playing the world’s smallest violin for ya, sis.”

Oh look, someone’s actually using the TV!

Don’t get any ideas, Bruce.

“Ben! Want to join our snowball fight?”

“I can’t, the Voice keeps telling me to fix this junker.”

“Nevermind then!”

“Whoa! Hey Voice, when can I get married to Ben?”

Soon. I want the baby to be born during the party, just like you did.

I wonder when the last time I did a snow angel myself was.

*reminisces*

I get so amused every time I see Ura and Cal cleaning. I can feel how they’re almost trying to kill the sponge.

“Heard you were talking shit about our brother!”

“Oww oww stop I won’t do it again!”

“*smile*”

Ilo! You’re cooking without me telling you to!

“Yeah, I figured some comfort soup would ease up the tension around here.”

“Mom, Dad, could you please stop being gross and move away from the counter? I need to clean it.”

Behold, an unburned cupcake!

This is actually a rare sight for me.

Poor Benny had his social meter all down and… and… sorry, I’m too distracted by Ilo’s face.

It’s so llamaesque!

Congrats, Neo. You’re not as bad of a pregnant sim as your mother.

“What did you expect? I’m awesome.”

No seriously, the energizer is getting dusty.

Aaaaw :3

Oh look, sibling interactions.

Another restaurant coupon? Wow.

“Told you I’m awesome.”

If it isn’t Goopy. Haven’t seen you in a while.

“What about the –”

In this neighborhood.

He turned out good looking. It’s a shame that Buffy’s an eld- wait, try for baby is available?

New mission: Puppies.

That maternity wear isn’t half-bad, actually.

Even though the outfit I got you has a pregnancy mesh -.-

I’m not even surprised that Ginger and Teresa are back. But you know, THERE ARE OTHER TEENS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

Benny: “Madame, if the Masters are asleep, why are these two still here?”

Buffy: “It’s one of the mysteries I’ve never gotten an answer to.”

Gurl, you’ve got some anger issues.

Btw, see the guy in the bubble? Ginger was his dad’s first kiss as a teen. Goes to prove how messed up my playstyle is in this hood :P

I had Ilo influence Cal into getting some business (since ACR and InTeen haven’t been doing anything since Neo’s teenhood).

Doesn’t look like it went all that well.

Yes, that is Ginger stealing more gnomes in the background.

Bar, you’re an idiot. There are TWO OTHER TOILETS available, but no, you just had to pee yourself because Bruce was in the tub.

“Nothing to see here, just a pregnant lady stealing back her gnome.”

o.O

Bar, forget what I said. You’re my hero.

Wait, what’s this? Neo and Ura having a FRIENDLY CONVERSATION?

*checks panel* They’re not furious at each other anymore, but their relationship is still deep in the red.

This had my mind boggled for quite a while until I saw Ginger and Teresa coming out of there.

“Congratulaions on having so many friends, Neppy!”

The secret? 0 nice points. Works like a charm.

WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?!

“It’s getting late, I should go.”

DAMN RIGHT YOU SHOULD. IT’S PAST 3 AM.

My fear for these two being hostile towards each other is unrequited (for now) :D

Skilling, embarrassing stories, the “attack” interaction being tossed around between the teens… Just a normal stay-at-home evening.

Glitches ahoy! Ben would paint for some time, and then he’d stop and have the spray stuck in his butt until I did something about it. I tried over and over again but it didn’t work >:(

Apparently painting doesn’t work unless the car is on a driveway.

Whatever. The wedding carriage is finished!

Your next task is to dig for treasure now that winter’s over.

“Can’t I go skill instead?”

No!

Forget it, pal. I am not seeing those two bolts and neither are you.

Just when he’d gotten two bolts for Neo too.

Why did you stop coo- oh crudballs.

“Grandbaby!”

I thought we had more time! Now I’m going to lose points D:

“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!”

Uh, hun, Ben’s not here.

“EOOOW!! I MEANT YOU!”

We interrupt this program to bring you “Pras’s College Shenanigans”.

To be honest, college wasn’t as exciting as I was promised. I did get to meet some interesting people though, like Gordon Fleig.

He’s a great dancer and a really nice guy to talk to, so I developed a bit of a crush on him.

Eventually I found out that the chemistry wasn’t one-sided, so I asked him out.

It went great until I started to venture outside the friendzone. He was really shy and rejected all of my advances, so I decided to call it a day and return to studying.

Assignments and papers can really be tedious, and I often wished for my twin sister to be able to join me.

Neptunium was the only one to call me, though. Thanks to him I was updated on all that was happening back at the trailer.

Gordon wasn’t the only attractive one in the dorm. Our cafeteria worker was really hot, but he told me that he didn’t date students.

Maybe I’ll have a shot at him once I’ve graduated.

In the meanwhile I tried to build up my trust with Gordon. Perhaps I moved a bit too fast.

After he rejected my first kiss we didn’t talk for weeks.

I don’t think I’m quite over him yet.

A/N: I kept canceling the actions but she still threw ACR-related commands at Gordon. Also, see the want for a love potion? I couldn’t get it, because the matchmaker couldn’t enter the lot properly and became an off-world loiterer. Yippee.

I soon found someone much more interesting to hang out with.

No, I didn’t date Oliver just to rub it in Gordon’s face! What do you think of me?

Some might say it’s unethical, but I actually think I’m falling for him. Besides, he’s not my professor, so it doesn’t matter, right?

DAMN IT CHUCK!

I got a double bed for my room since he spends the night so often.

I eventually patched things up with Gordon. After all, he’s my best friend around here!

I don’t know if we were drunk or just tired, but I finally got that kiss out of him.

He eventually snapped out of it though. We decided to let it slide and just stay friends.

He even let me practice make-overs on him! I wasn’t very good at first, but it was a hobby that I enjoyed in-between exams.

I also sat down and watched television for the first time in my life. How could I have missed this for so long?

Things have sailed pretty smoothly for me so far, though I guess college is a bit rougher for some. My dormmates don’t even make it to their rooms before passing out!

As a final note before I begin my Junior year, I admit that I have officially crashed and burned. I’m thinking about asking Oliver to marry me. I have a hunch that he’ll say yes.

Aw hell naw Denene. And no, they didn’t spend the night together. Gordon just waltzed into Pras’s room and started sleeping.I’ve been trying to play solely by Pras’s want panel, but she’s showing more of her Romance side than Knowledge, so I’ve been forcing her to gain skills and stuff.Join us next time for some exciting revelations!
