For Simgaroop... Helena the cheerleader

I've being meaning to ask you about this for a while, [livejournal.com profile] simgaroop. Is Helena a crazy party animal in your game? Is she really excitable? I ask because she never seems to stop cheering in my game. She'll do something and then she'll cheer immediately afterwards. Like, she'll walk up the stairs, stop, and then cheer. She's seriously high on life (and possible some other substances).

I took some pics. I thought you'd get a laugh out of it.










She's just happy to have entered the kitchen.




Helena: Wooooooooo!!! I totally ATE THAT!




Helena: A phone call for me? W00t!








Helena: I said W00000000000t!!!!




Helena: OMG it's my fridge! So excited!




Some dancing...






...leads to more cheering.






Helena: YESSSS!!!!





Helena: WOOOOOOOOO!!!! Go ME!

... and so on and so on.... It happens all the time.

I'm becoming a little concerned that she might be a cokehead. Maybe it's just coffee, but she'd have to be drinking a hell of a lot of it for it to have this effect. Or maybe she's just a really extreme gal. This is definitely shaping the way I'll be using her character in the story. Such a big personality needs to be utilized to the fullest.

I've never seen anything like it. It's quite cool. Is this happening because she's max active and playful? Was she like this in your game too?

Oh, and shout out to this awesome AL outfit conversion by javabean_dreams: Landlord Vests for the Un-Landlordy. It's one of my favourite Maxis outfits to date. It's not really Helena's usual sort of thing (it's more of a Frances thing), but I wanted to show it off anyway.

LOL. An over-cheering sim, I've never had. Most of my sims turn out mean, even if they have like, TEN nice points. I DID have a sim who constantly cheered on her dad while he was playing chess (I almost wrote cheese, ha) and while he played the piano as well, but not as excessively as Helena. I'd hate to be her roommate or anything. XD "I've had a bad day today..." "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IT'S A GREAT DAY, IT'S SUNNY WOOOOO SUNNY!!!"

Is someone playing an instrument in the house? That could be it.

Mansions and garden stuff seems so...half assed. Like, REALLY? MANSIONS AND GARDENS? How random. The gardens probably won't even be Seasons compatible. XD Sims 2 Hair Stuff would have been so much better!

Yeah, you get the depressed and means sims instead. Or the vain ones. Helena spends her days cheering and playing with her parrot, Troy. Who needs a roomate.

Nope. Nobody was playing an instrument. :P She cheers at nothing. And when people are visiting they keep making the "you're crazy" gesture. My Helena is nuts.

I like the gardens thing. It's something I've always wanted more of, and they're adding cool lupins and stuff. It's definitely not going to be compatible with Seasons, which is lame. I'd love to see new vegeatble and things to harvest. I saw mushrooms in some of the screenshots, but I'm sure you can't harvest them to eat (or trip out on *looks at Helena*).

I agree. I want another SP with just hair and accessories. They never add more accessories.
