Brooke 7: Full frontal view


And we join Brooke back at home.

Luna missed her.
Everyone! All together now:
AWWWWWWW!!!
Okay, so, yes I know that in the rest of the family's way of thinking no time has gone by. Narnia-ish.

See, Adam? I told you you weren't meant to be a professional athlete. You were meant to be a hacker. Huh? Oh, sorry. An investigator. Big whoop.
Still, he gives me something to do while I wait for Brooke's "you can't go on vacation again yet" timer to run down.
I changed Adam's hair. It's cute on him. I'll show a front pic in a min. 

Adam solved another case and won an award from the mayor. I actually followed him to the courthouse to see if there was going to be some big to-do celebration about it. Nope. I guess they cancelled due to rain. Yeah.
Anyway, I thought this was a neat little bit to the courthouse/whatever on the corner of it.

Adam has the daredevil trait. That one always entertains me because of extreme this and that.
The above is an example of extreme rocking, dude! (I added the dude part.)

(and no, this isn't the front pic yet. This is a side pic.)

Adam: I thought you wanted to write a book not be a tomb raider.
Brooke: No. That's the other me, the one that bosses us around.
Adam: Then shouldn't she be working on her book and not goofing around on the sims?
Me: Shut up! I'll get on it later! I'm burnt out. Now, go get out in the rain again!

(sadly, not a frontal shot yet either because I didn't change his pj hair and I'm too lazy to do it yet.)

Just another lovely day in Aurora Skies (Rainy Skies). Perfect for sitting out on the bench in front of the house to read the paper before the newsprint gets smeared everywhere. 

Adam got a random phone call that I got no info on, so I'm pretending that this is him arguing with his slut babymama. I'm making like he's fighting a custody battle for Noah. Yeah. If this was a real story, I could really beef up the drama. But it's not a real story, so I'm not!

(this view doesn't count!)

The gym next door makes the perfect location to hide for a stakeout.

Oh yeah, they can't see through your disguise at all.

yeah.
So, this stakeout gets Adam the needed bit to promote him. Now, we have that useless door! woo. 
He's a Superfluous Sleuth. Superfluous. Doesn't that pretty much mean unnecessary?
Superfluous: 1. being more than is required, excessive, unnecessary, needless. 2. possessing or spending more than necessary. (paraphrased from dictionary.com)
Yep. aka, not needed. great job title there! hehe

Brooke: No no no! That's mommy's nose!

I finally for the first time got a trick-or-treater! ... and he's not even in costume. -.-

Brooke has been wanting to go to Egypt for a while now, and her timer has finally gone down! :)

Nice place to camp out. And I thought it was purdy. :)

The relic merchant dude (didn't write his name down) wouldn't stop trying to flirt with Brooke. He was single, but dude! She's married! Then... Brooke started flirting back! Oh no you don't!

Brooke gets what she wants out of him (to ask him as one of 3 locals about MorcuCorp or however the hell you spell it) and then walks away. He forlornly watches her go.

Then he gets a girlfriend, gets engaged, and gets married. Damn, SP. You don't waste time, do you? I feel sorry for whoever his wife is.

Anyone ever seen these eyes peeping out through the mineshaft thing? (Still in Al Simhara)

Anyway, Brooke gets her visa status to lvl 2 and doesn't complete all she needs to in Egypt, but at least next time she'll have a longer period of time to get stuff done. Then, I wanna buy that open-air 'house' on top of the little lake.
So, spent = 6,166. earned = 14,649. profit = 8,483. Not too shabby. :)
(still, drives me nuts that she found a cut pink diamond worth over 7k. pretty, expensive decoration)

Paul's age up shot pre-makeover.
I must've had a thing with the name Paul because there's a Paul in my book as well who's a bad guy. I'll be sure to make this Paul NOT a bad guy. hm... well, crazy roll that he has (yes, he's the heir), that might be impossible. We'll see.

Brooke's eyes are contacts (even under the glasses) because I tried to recreate my eyes. Didn't really work. They're supposed to be sky blue with yellow around the pupil. Fail lol.

post-makeover. Dunno if I'll keep that hair. It looks wolfish to me. Maybe that's not a bad thing. Sorry I didn't get a frontal shot. I guess you can't have everything. :P

Adam did another hacking case, and the dude's family was so unhappy with him that I kept getting the "Adam is behaving inappropriately" message. Then the family members followed him home. Geez! Uber-stalkers!

Then, the daughter goes upstairs to play with Paul. Somebody needs a makeover.
I can just hear Paul: Oh yeah, b*tches always wanting me. They can't resist me.

Much better imho. I gave her that slightly-rebel-but-still-has-to-wear-a-school-uniform look. It's Jennika Wong, daughter of the previously-invisible dude. (oh, right, but that didn't actually happen. Shh!)

I've always wanted to try this, and I heard you get better results using the same type of item. I've heard with rocks that you get a skull. With copper bars you get...

A bigger copper bar. -.-

Next, Brooke is going back to France. :) I can't believe how much fun I'm having with the first expansion pack. hehe. I'd never done all of it, and I'm looking forward to when I get to the point that I've not done something yet. I mean like a tomb I haven't done.

(and I'll bet you thought I forgot!)
Yay! The full frontal view of Adam and his new 'do. I did this to compare him and Paul. I think Paul has his eyes. Def. Brooke's haircolor. So, Noah is his little clone and Paul looks kinda like him.

    1. Yeah, I was randomly wondering what they were talking about at the table, and Adam had that pen and ink thing come up. You know where my mind went. Guilty.
      I realized your Paul was a bad Paul too, so even more reason I don't want this Paul to be a bad Paul. I rolled deadbeat parents so his upcoming personality traits could be anything.

      :) I was happy with the result of that. I don't normally like short hair, but it worked great on her.

  2. My pet snake is called Paul! He's not bad! He's a little sweetie...
    Your sim-Paul is cute, though :)

    Anyway, I loled so hard at this. What the hell did you do when you got the bigger copper bar? Like, I mean, how did you merge them into one? I've never seen/heard of that before!
    And I look forward to playing with all the game one day too! It's amazing what you miss! I swear I'm learning something new every time I play at the moment, then I'm like "Wow! Since when.... Oh... Base game?! :O" Hahaa!

    Jennika's makeover... Wow. she was sooo ugly before, now she's gorgeous! It's amazing what a little makeup and a haircut can do! But... They followed him home?! "Well, you're being innappropriate, we'll do it right back!" Neighbour wars.

    Have you lost weight? haha! I swear you weren't stick-thin last time. I'll go look in a minute.

    1. Well there ya go, it's a snake! :P
      hahaha Alrighty, so you're one of those out there that like snakes.

      I put the copper bar in the future alchemists inventory shelf thingy. The way I see it, I was out $500 so no biggie. I can't sell or do anything else with the stuff, so I'm amassing quite a collection.
      Oh! How did I do it?
      I was tooling around on the forums one day, looking for the answer to some question I've forgotten now, and I came across this thread that talked about it. Anyway, get the largest display case that came with WA, fill with cut gems, metal bars (dunno if works for other stuff, haven't tried yet) and "activate". Then do the "irreversible transfiguration" that costs 500 simoleons. They say this gives you a skull made out of the gems according to the majority type implemented. Hm, now I see in my notes that a bunch of crap gives you Mr. Gnome. Space rocks=space rocks.
      Base game Hahahahahahahahaha! Yes, I know exactly what you mean!

      She needed help, and when I looked at her features, I was like, 'she's not all that bad, just a bad combination of clothes, makeup and hair.

      Brooke's pjs are really loose on her, and her everyday outfit is slimming. I myself am thin. Size 6 here dunno what that translates to in your sizes.
      It's the boobs. A bigger rack makes you look heavier as I've discovered. :P

  3. ROFL. "That's the other me." Funny your Sims were arguing with you. LOL. It doesn't surprise me that Adam's job title meant what it did. Sims has a silly way of doing things. XD

    1. I love the job titles! They're usually ridiculous, and I couldn't help but have fun with that one.
      Yeah, the 'other me' :D
      They keep thinking that blasted pen and ink thing!
