Despite her miserable mood, I’ve been making sure Alice gets all of her homework done, and even telling her to work hard when she’s at school. She’s got a ‘stressed out’ moodlet most of the time. She asked her dad to help her with her homework, but he wanted to rummage in the dustbin.
Then the weekend came. Rather than being a relief, this is actually pretty bad news for Alice. School dinners are her only source of food on most days. And the family is now entirely out of money, as Alice appears to be telling her friend on the phone.
So saturday morning, Alice goes wandering in search of food. The nearby ‘Grandpas’ family lets her in, and she makes a beeline for the ice cream in the fridge.
The Grandpas tell her she is being inappropriate. She ignores them and goes to have a shower. It doesn’t work out for her, though. Again, the Grandpas come to tell her she’s being inappropriate, bursting in while she’s showering. She’s now got a negative moodlet for ’embarrassment’, which almost negates the mood bonus she got for getting clean. Now no longer hungry or smelly, she is almost content. There’s only one thing left to do.
At which point the Grandpas decide enough is enough, and tell her she has to leave.
Next: His Continuing Mission
Alice and Kev 
Where did she get that phone from?
If you click on the backpack, you should see a phone. It’s not in the inventory bin, but just to the left of it. All children and up have this.
Hah, it comes with every sim in the game. Let just say for the stories sake she found it on the ground? hah
hahaha nice one..
I see homeless people all the time with cell phones. So it’s not that much of a surprise.
aparantally, a sim has to have a cell phone so that is one thing that sucks about having hobos
agan great, on to “continuing his mission”
she stole it… kids today huh
Wow, this is so good it even looks like it’s a viral marketing campaign.
It’s too good to be a viral marketing campaign (although it’ll end up working as one).
Gentelman Jim: All sims come with an inseparable mobile phone now.
Having a cellphone is also actually pretty true-to-life. I work at a a shelter, which means our families are functionally homeless, if not actually right off the street.
Unlike six or seven years ago, these days, almost all our clients have cells; that means it’s 100% easier for them to stay safe, keep in contact with family, make appointments, get job calls, and generally rebuild their lives.
I also work at a shelter and I can attest to cell-phones being true to life for functionally homeless people. With companies selling a monthly non contractual service for $30.00 bucks and better yet, pay as you go phones for $15.00 with ten minutes of service built in, it’s easy for anyone with a candy selling or windshield wiping business to keep a phone.
The first Sims 3 expansion pack has been announced – Sims 3: Vagabond Tales.
What is Vagabond Tales about?
how do you know? it didnt say anything on the websites
wisefool is kidding, i think
Wait a second…she’s homeless. How did she get a phone???
Mean ol’ Grampas. He’s obviously forgotten what it means to be a kid, or grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Great news on the extension pack.
Oh dear … :O(( Well … at least she got clean and got a little bit of food in her stomach. Granted … ice cream isn’t really food. :O>
How do you make them rummage through the trash?
u can let her go to the Gym to take shower
I like how insane Sims just randomly dig through the trash. xD
hahaha i love that kev looks like such a thug. poor alice. 😦
wow thats mess up..she’s lucky she got to eat and bathe
I just recently started reading this and I’m already hooked. XD
Although wow.. she really takes advantages of the ‘grandpas’ hospitality… <_<
You write stories very good!
I like the way you tell the story, you really get into it, the shoots are awesome, and you show that the traits you designate for your sims determine and have an effect on the story’s flow, congrats again
On the picture in which Alice has a “simoleon” floating above her head, or something like that, there seems to me something that resembles a Cuban Cigar or poop to the left. <.<
theres free showering at the gym, she shouldve gone there
haha this is really interesting [:
I just have a question. I really would like to know…like when I’m visiting my sims work or anywhere, it doesn’t let me see my sim if they’re inside. Or anything inside at all. Just the outside of the building. Does yours all do the same, or what?
i tried doing a father and daughter homeless thing a lot like this, but i didnt tell them 2 do anything, just left them 2 it.
within a day the father died and a social worker came 2 take care of the daughter and i had 2 start a new game 😦 lol
Old Grandpa barged in on a little naked girl showering, and no one mentioned paedophilia in the last 4 months?
