Prosperity Challenge: James Fisher is awesome.

[strangetomato]

I've been playing with the prosperity neighbourhood a little bit, and I just had to share one of my new favourite sims with you.

James Fisher is a nerd, and he's awesomely awesome!






Don't you just love him to bits? I certainly do! I like that he randomly transitioned into that sharp blue plaid shirt too. It really goes with his whole look. He's a family sim.

Any thoughts on Maxis lineage? Hint: he is the product of three different Maxis sims (his mother is the product of two, and the family is a direct clone), but he looks mostly like just one of them.



I still have to reply to everyone's comments on the last couple of Strangetown chapters, so my apologies about the delay. It's been pretty busy and I also just haven't been up to it. I've been picking away at them, and I will do more after work.

Oh, hi! Nice to hear from a lurker.

I usually just use the hacked telescope or boolprop the abduction. Especially for Strangetown, I create abductions at will. I have only ever seen one natural abduction while playing with my sims, and it was a female, so it was disappointing in the lack of an alien baby.

What is raising the telescope all about? Does that increase the chances of abduction (I'm never heard about that), or is it just something that you're doing for fun?

Hi there! :) I have no idea... It's just an experiment really. I always thought that since the Curious brothers and the Goth family have a telescope so high up in the air that it might increase the chances since it is so easy for Vidcund to get abducted, and Bella was supposedly abducted and of course Pascal was abducted as well. It could just have been how Maxis wanted their homes to look, but it wouldnt hurt to try it out.

That is a rather interesting theory. I've never heard any mention of it before, but they usually are placed somewhere very high in Maxis lots. The Grunts also have one on the top of that wooden tower in their back yard.

If you make any interesting discoveries, let me know! :)

Are you posting your prosperity challenge anywhere?

Oh, I never played the Grunts on my computer so I didnt know that! (heh, well actually the three maxis made towns were mysteriously deleted due to some bug and I was devastated- especially since reading your story I've been really wanting to play them) Anyway, if I have any progress I will let you know.

I've never posted anything about the sims in my journal before, but since I have this ancient livejournal account that I havent used in about four years, and I am in love with the results that the prosperity challenge randomizer that you used gave me, I will try and post it in there. I've already have some interesting ideas for a story about them.

I think that there is a way to restore the original neighourhoods. I couldn't explain it off the top of my head, but you might be able to find it if you go searching. You can also download a combined neighbourhood somewhere.

Oh, you should post about it! I'm all about that. Put it out there.

That randomizer is so great. I just kept rolling it and saw so many great potential families.

I'll get to an introduction later today. Right now my brother is using the computer that the Sims is on... I'm really excited to upload this thing.

Besides the prosperity challenge, I've decided that the sims would be a great way to illustrate a story I've had in my head for ages, so I might have that in my journal some time in the future also.
