Don't Ask 2.1: We're Still Crazy

I built a restaurant!

Freena: It's ugly.

Well, funding was low.

I moved Salim's wife into another apartment. The twins aged up, apparently. I also pulled someone from the simbin and moved him in with her. I didn't want her to have to deal with twins all on her own.

Catlynne and Freena age up. I move Catlynne to Salim's old apartment. I had to redo the decor because it vanished when I moved out Salim's wife and kids. I kept to the main 'fixer-upper' theme. I got her the artist job.

I've decided on a 'thing': insanity will plague this legacy.

Freena: What?!

And it begins...

Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Creepy ghost texting dude.

Woo!

Freena: Have you forgotten this is supposed to be a legacy?

You just want one because of the lot trait.

Freena: You mean the lot trait you didn't change?!

Okay, okay! Don't worry!

Woo!

(I'm easily distracted.)

I can't figure out why this restaurant is a failure! Sure, the rating is going up, but I'm not making any money. I'm doing everything like I'm supposed to do, but the customers just aren't coming!

Then, I search around the neighborhood...

OH. Sims are getting stuck by these trees at what is probably a spawn point. If I shift-click and reset them, they move and go to the restaurant. Otherwise, they stand there and probably starve to death.

Woo!

And the critic gets stuck too. I un-stick everyone, and their stars go away, but the critic still gives the review:

Woo!

However, this restaurant is a fail. I'm sick of constantly worrying that my customers are stuck at the spawn point. I start wondering what to do. I mean, I worked so much on this one.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch... I get another, very strange achievement. I like the icon. :)

Freena is jealous of her mom getting all the action.

Freena: I am determined to find the love of my life. It's Saturday. The restaurant isn't opening.

Um. Okay? How unrealistic.

Freena: Hi.

Dude with mustache: You are standing too closely to me.

Freena: So, whatchya doing?

Dude with mustache: Ordering food.

Freena: Oh, so you're hungry?

Dude with mustache (sarcastically): No, I'm going to stuff the food into the pockets of my jacket to add extra padding.

Freena: Oh. Good luck with that. (walks away)

GUESS WHAT?! That painting behind Freena that has the guy standing there? My first founder painted that! In s3!

Rose 2.60:

\o/
Donovan! I miss you! My stupid PC and long load times and error code 12! I'm not retiring that story. I can't. I WILL bring it back someday. No one will read it and/or care but me, but I will anyway!

Freena: What does this have to do with me?

Shh.

*runs off and goes to play sims 3 for the first time in ages*
*realizes that's old news to those who may read everything*
Oh well. Back to this one.

Freena: Thank you!

Freena tries to flirt some more. And quickly embarrasses herself.

Freena: Unflirty. He should wear a name tag that says just that.

Sad, she sits at a nearby picnic table.
Some dude comes to sit next to her, having just bought a hotdog.

Some dude: Are you okay?
Freena: No. (pause) Did you put guacamole on your hotdog?
Some dude (straight face): Yes.
Freena: Oh.

Some dude: So what's wrong?
Freena: Am I ugly?
Some dude (confused): No.
Freena: Okay.

Some dude (smiles suddenly): Let's start that over. Hi, my name's Ciaran McClarnon.
Freena: Hi.

She tells him her name, etc, and he finds out how she totally bombed flirting with that Baby over there.

Freena: You're so much nicer than that loser Baby over there.
Ciaran: I think he heard you.
Freena: Good.
Ciaran laughs. Then he gets her number.

Her attempted flirting goes much better after that.
She goes home to find...

...that Evelyn has trapped herself behind the ugly chair!

Evelyn: Don't ask me how I got here. Just get me out because I'm in dire need.

She pees herself before she can make it to the toilet.

Evelyn: Did you have to let everyone know that?

It's not my fault you got yourself stuck behind a chair.

...

Well, that's it for this chapter!

Evelyn: You're not going to just leave it there, are you?!

Coming up next!
Will anything come of Freena's flirting exploits?
Will Evelyn die of mortification?
