Alice’s teddy is more than her only possession in the world. It’s the only thing that’s ever hugged her.
As her father dislikes children, he hates sleeping next to her. In the morning, he’s always the first to wake, and he immediately throws a tantrum and wakes up Alice to tell her to leave the room. Alice understandably responds that they’re not in a room, and she doesn’t have anywhere to go. Then they argue, and Kev seems to blame Alice for every possible thing.
As her attempts to nap on the bench at ‘home’ are always interrupted, Alice does her best to skip the bus after school and find somewhere else to sleep. At first, this used to be the bench in the school playground.
Then one day she found the Joy household next door to the school, who invited her in. She immediately climbed into their bed for the best sleep she’s ever had. Her hosts weren’t terribly pleased as she stank by this point, but didn’t try to wake her. I can only assume they took pity on her.
Next: Nobody loves Kev
Alice and Kev 
One post in and this is already soul-wrenching. I’m not sure how much more I can read.
Who am I kidding, I’m hooked.
Ya this is very sad but it should be published but i dunno yet im still reading.
great. NOW MAKE MORE!
do u know how to make a sim homeless??
Aaarrgh this is horribly sad!! That poor girl…where’s a social worker when you *need* one?!
He started up a website and became a reality-blogger
exactly social workers are always there to take your childrean away from you when thats the last thing you want and they are never there when you REALLY NEED one.
I’m glad the Joy’s arent heartless
Nice series. I like how it’s very well thought out. It has an interesting plot and even though the end of each one isn’t a “cliff hanger,” I’m anxious to read the next one!
Aaaaw, so sad…that Kev’s a meanie!
Seriously how is this fun. What has Sims 4 got genocide and watching african kids die.. if you want real life sadness go outside and do something about it, not pretend to care about some homeless characters…
Woah, dude. First off, this is Sims 3, not Sims 4 and there is no genocide and watching african kids die. This is just harmless fun on a game.
If you want to do something about the treatment of african children, you can go ahead and do something, not post horrible comments on a game site.
Excellent. Heading for the next post.
Oh! This is really good! I love it, can’t wait for more!
Wow…this is so sad. I can’t believe you were able to do this. I actually hope the girl grows up to be better ajusted than the father.
Really sad. I had a parent almost identical to Kev so it kinda hits home for me.
Now those are truly some kind people … granted, they probably shoulda called social services (if that sort of function had been built into the game). At least she got a good sleep out of it. :O)
Actually, there is. At least that’s what happened on a different article about the Sims 3. Granted, what caused it was a bit different: http://www.cracked.com/blog/exploring-the-mysteries-of-the-mind-with-the-sims-3/ …
At least it shows that it’s possible. Maybethat’ll happen here too, although that would end the series…
If the difference between ‘real’ and ‘virtual’ humans wasn’t so clear, this would be inhumane.
But as it is, it’s just very amusing and sad.
Wow! This is one of the best Sims stories I have ever read. This is such a touching story of these characters. I can’t wait to read the whole thing. Great Job with the story and coming up with this Sims experiment.
This is awesome.
I feel so sorry for poor Alice.. At least those people would let her sleep there..
Good Story. I am a social worker that has seen many real stories like this one. I think this is a unique way of raising an important issue in real life. I see it has a novel art form for expression. Looking forward to the next post.
This isn’t entertaining or well written. Sad? There’s nothing sad about some made up pixilated homeless kid. What’s sad is that this was actually considered newsworthy.
you are not identical to these other people. do not criticize other people’s opinions because your own if different. i think the writer did a good job, even if the story is sad.
You’re not the boss of me.
Aww, that teddy bear part was cuuute&sad, like it was cute but… sad. :[
First timer Wow
very creative its a good story
This is kind of sad and sweet – how much of what’s going on do you have control over? I’ve played the first incarnation of the Sims, but nothing after, so I’m afraid I don’t know how much the gameplay has changed.
interesting and so sad 😦 I wondering how it will end.
Her sleeping at school instead of going home shows real detail by the game’s creator. I can hardly believe how realistic they made the characters’ emotions and actions as result. Makes me wish I had a console capable of handling the game…
Yeah, this may have no effect in my emotion, but I think it’s cool how something like this can be imagined from a game. T_T
It’s very emotional and creative and just goes to show that things like this happen in real life too.
The joys aren’t all heart: look at poor Jenny Joy. She shouldn’t have died yet they let her 😦
It’s a little ridiculous how seriously some people are taking this haha
I really like this concept though 🙂
I’m starting another homeless sim story, I’m sure it won’t come close to this, but it can’t hurt to try.
Just imagine that Kev is now Chuck
and Alice is now Alex
Obviously, I took the idea from here. It is the ultimate source of my inspiration.
cool idea but did you have to break it up into so many posts?? Most people can handle loading a long page and breaking it up encorages people to not finish it. I know you get more hits and therefore add revenue from breaking it up but somehow its more important that i view your awesome free content in a slightly more convient manner than it is for you to pay rent. Hmmm well go ahead and ignore most of this message! Neat story!
Hi there! I’m sorry I’ve come from knowhere, but I love this story! I searched “sims 3 story” on google and this was the first thing that came up!
Awh just speechless… You are an amazing writer. :3 you have got me hooked…
