The next morning, a hungry, tired, stressed Alice has an argument with her father before climbing aboard the school bus. She spends a miserable day at school, unable to work hard, and falls short of fulfilling her wish. But as she’s leaving at the end of the day, she recieves an unexpected offer.
When she was a child avoiding having to go home to her father, Alice sat in the juice bar one time and did her homework with another girl called Anita. They had become friends over time, although they had mostly only spoken on the phone since then.
But today, Anita invited Alice to come home with her after school.
Alice already knew that Anita was a genius, who often wandered away from her, lost in thought.
What Alice hadn’t known before was that Anita’s family was rich.
She spent a while wandering the house in amazement, despite being badly in need of rest, food, and stress relief.
And as she sat down in front of the enormous television, neither she nor I realised she was already late for her new job.
Next: Selflessness
Alice and Kev 
I love Alice and Kev 🙂
Anita looks a little butch
I take offense to that.
ha this is great
I think it’s a ponytail
maybe she’s a little leebo! lol-well she COULD be ya know!
Not funny.
Oh no, is this going to be a turning point for Alice? First not getting the grade she wanted and now she’s not turned up for work, is this a similar path that Kev trod that led him down the path to homelessness?
Oh lord she’s totally going to rape Alice in the shower!
But then she’ll get lost in thought and go do something else for a while.
no, then Kev will come in and rape both of them!! lol
wtf
lol
oh UGH!
Because rape is funny?
Oh dear. Alice is in trouble!
Oh Alice…
For a mindless heap of code and pixels, this girl is pretty inspiring.
“And as she sat down in front of the enormous television, neither she nor I realised she was already late for her new job.”
Oh oh…
I’ve just stumbled across your blog today, via a link from b3ta.
You are one insanely skilled story-teller!
Congratulations!
I LOVE this alot 😉
This somewhat reminds me of the book, Go Ask Alice. Just when things are going right, something goes wrong. Oh well, I’ll read anyway. There’s no way I could stop reading this story!
I sumbled upon this blog, and it’s amazing! This is better then TV! Keep up the good word, and when you decide to stop, or are forced to stop this, do a blog about a normal sim family..maybe with a secret, maybe the father just died or something…
Awesome, an amazon.co.uk referral. I’m getting this.
A very compelling story. I like how each update is small but still a self-contained piece of the overall story. It lets me keep interest easier and I have something interesting to look forward to every day!
Awesome job writing!
Wow, this is a really good story. I hope things turn out for Alice in the end. I’m not too sure her father deserves one. 😛
-Rhi ❤
Poor Alice. Will nothing go right for her?
Aww, poor Alice. 😦
Brilliant blog!
What will happen? Will she lose her job? PLEASE write more, I’m desperate!
This is great stuff Rob, really good read. Just gone through all of them so far in like 15 minutes 😀
Looking forward to reading more 🙂
this is sooo cool!!!!!!! i’m gonna go buy myself a sims 3 after seeing all of the cool things that you can do on the game. i have the sims 2 and love it, but this looks so much cooler!
Loving this so far.
You have a very amusing writing style.
You know, in the parts that are supposed to be funny.
Very nice. I like that you bring to light real world needs through the Sims; very respectable, my hat is off to you. This is just one more reason why this is one of the coolest blogs, well, anywhere. Yet another great adventure, I wonder what Alice and Anita will do next.
Man I love Alice and I hope she doesn’t lose her new job because of this 😦
I really enjoy this story. I tried to make my own homeless family, not to cause the same sadness but to see how difficult it was. I found my sims actually lived more in the 28 hour wellness gym because theres a fridge, shower, toilet, stereo, tv, and comfortable benches there to sleep on. Problem is I took the difficulty out of it so I removed them and played my other family. I did put Alice and Kev in my neighborhod as NPCs though. They act differently, they like eachother more (play tag and have decent conversations) and they’re not always unhappy. I think NPCs might not be able to have negative mood or moodlets…or maybe they’re just doing what I did and hanging out at the gym.
superb.
i cant stand sims (i’m male), wife loves it.
but this story is excellent, long may you keep it up.
(PS thank B3ta for my visit and for many others)
i love how supposedly your gender matters in whether you like a certain game or not.
brb while i go get a sex change, i guess.
yeah, I’m a guy, and this game looks great.
Amazing! This personifies the best of Sims 3, the sims expressions, their goals, their traits, everything. This is so interesting. I’m going to try this myself!
Oh, poor Alice! I hope she doesn’t lose her job!
Maybe Anita’s family will take her in.
wow it just keeps getting better and better. keep it up.
I love this blog 😀 Just read it, I like the idea! Greets from Holland! (Yeah, you’re blog is all over the world (A) )
ohhhhhhh emmmmmm geeeeeee this story is awesome baby<3
I sure hope Alice can keep her job!
You’re an awesome writer, keep up the good work.
Without the screenshots you’d almost think all of this is a real story.
This is really entertaining. I can’t wait to see what happens next! Thanks for sharing this!
Oh crap. And to think I thought alice was gonna have it made there, and now she might get fired? If she does get fired, will that affect her grade?
The ending deserves a lawl. And i think things would become a bit more interesting if you intervened once or twice. After all, abandoning homework for her job, then overworking would have an interesting aftermath…
Oh my. I can’t get enough of this story! I will have to get Sims 3 as soon as possible.
awesome story! PLEASE! make more of them!
my oh my, this story is great ! It kind of makes me want to destroy my family and let them be more free… but I’ll just live that life through Alice and Kev
Great…this is just great. I don’t buy EA games or Sims games, but I might be tempted if it helps you with a little ad revenue, and I have this kind of control over my little sims. Keep up the great story!
I really hope I’m not the only one who checks this blog compulsively for new updates. I’m so impatient! I think this might be becoming an addiction.
Heya! I just happened to stumble upon this blog today, and I immediately just fell in love with it. Irresistable is a good word. In fact, I just got the game, and reading your amazing writing is inspiring me to create a story or two of my own. Keep up the good work, and I”ll be reading.
Great story! Very creative. I can’t wait to find out what happens with Kev and Alice. Thanks for taking the time to put this story together and post it.
I was directed here while I was looking for some new Sims stories to read, and when I got to the last page, I was sad! 🙂 I can’t wait to “hear” what’s coming next…I’ll be back! Excellent storytelling, great writing, and very compelling characters! Please continue!
I can’t wait to read more of this! Totally addicted!
Pleeeeease write more posts, I keep refreshing the page to see if you’ve posted new things. I love Alice, hope something good will happen to her pretty soon.
This is an amazing story! This is the first thing I check when I come online. Please add more quickly!
Wow! I’ve got to give you credit for this its really hard to keep Kev and Alice enemies while still living. I tried and its hard. I believe you could be a talented author or something you should make more sims 3 stories with different families. Love the story totally addicted keep writing -Ashley
I’m really worried about myself that the first thing I do when I get home from work is come here to catch up on the train wreck that is Alice & Kev
this is amazing! plz continue this! 🙂
I love Alice!!!! Not so much Kev………JK!
I hope Alice survives this!!!! POOR ALICE!!!!!!!
Can’t wait for more of this story to be written. You are an amazing storyteller and I really hope that Alice gets a happy ending or at least fulfillment of a wish. I’m glad I followed the link from the Sims 3 website.
Brilliant stuff, I really enjoy reading this, I hope you post more as it is very intresting.
*Claps happily*
^_^
You’ve got an act for writing, Robin, an amazing gift. A gift that’s touched the hearts of all people willing to read. Heck, a gift that’s made it onto the News Feed of thesims3.com! You’ve wrote (or are still writing) a story that has made its readers, its fans, squeal of laughter, cry of joy or happiness, or just have a WOW! moment. Listen, please listen, you have made one story that is known almost all around the WORLD. You have a story that has fans. You have a story that beats some of the best shows on TV. You have a story that beats some of the best writers I know. You have a story that beats some of the best writing I’ve seen in a long, long time, and I’m not surprised kid and I’m not even laughing when I say this. You know I hope you write as a hobby because you have seen anything yet! This story, this WEBSITE, is going to be blown up (gotten bigger than ever) and everyone is going to know and love it like us. This is awesome kid! I want to come to this site again (sooner or later) and find out thatthis story has reached its ultimate ending, but that its not over yet. I want to hear that your onto making more and more blogs/stories like this with everything different but at the same time YOU. Don’t stop writing EVER because what you got is talent and that’s what we want to see.
Please try e-mail-ing me if you have any more ideas for blogs/stories you want to write or just want to chat at: jennyijoma@yahoo.com or undefined_mystic.love@yahoo.com
A fascinating thing about the progression is how the style of narrative is so candid. The depth of the gameplay itself enables simple play-by-play synopses to be emotionally compelling; with the infrequency of updates, it is uncertain whether the author has acted deliberately to extract from the internet audience the reflections on the scenes that he has omitted in his own text.
Nevertheless, the part of me that hasn’t breached the fourth wall wishes that we could find out what will eventually happen to the characters sooner.
quite genius, Rob. Nice to see it. Looking forward to more.
Wow. Your story is really cool. I was looking for something else, stumbled upon you page and couldn’t stop reading. Keep it up!
Really enjoying it.
Someone sent me the link to your site and I think this experiment of yours is simply brilliant. I’ll be adding a link to my site. 🙂
anita lobos?
hahaha this is what i love about the fact that the neighborhoods are all the same… our sims are friends with the same people!
Anita was my neighbor… I remember, before she had aged up, she actually commissioned a painting from my (irl) girlfriend… thats how my family and hers became friends. I remember being shocked when the painting was being delivered to see that it was ordered by a little girl!
my family’s child got invited over to this house when anita and her twin were still kids!!!! The family is the Lobos, Anita Lobos. and they’re actually rich
