The crew so far is:
1: MaximumZero
2: Wolfeyez
3: Japa
4: Sappho
5: Vector
6: RedKing
7: Yoink
8: Capt. Kal
9: Tiruin
10: Sanju
Graduates: scrdest
Deceased: Barbarossa TSG (drowned in the pool, Day 13) Burnt Pies (magic jellybean, Day 14)
Waitlist: Vorthon, Boksi?, Sheb, NAV, Reudh, Caroline, MetalSlimeHunt, Shakerag, flabort, Sinistar
NPC'd: HugoLuman, Birdy51, scriver, darkpaladin109
Wolfeyez states that we always need more girls. I tend to agree. The lack of diversity in the waitlist isn't super-awful, but it is quite lacking.
If you want to join, post:
- A picture or physical description. (The photo share counts, just link me.)
- Five traits (http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/traits/). If you pick one or more that leans toward insanity, that will increase your priority for entry into the Haus.
- A Lifetime Wish. (http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/lifetimewishes/) Please note that some of these are extremely difficult to finish, and may require mitigating circumstances to do so. I may have to employ the mercy rule, like in kids' baseball. Example: The Cat Herder requires you to befriend 15 cats. That will take forever, so I may have to call it after just knowing 15 cats. Furthermore, some will be impossible1. Please don't pick them. See the list at the very bottom of this very post before you choose one, please.
- Favorites (http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Favorite): Color, Food, and Music. These aren't terribly important, but eating your favorite food always nets you a good moodlet and hearing your favorite music does the same. I haven't found color to be useful.
- Your Zodiac sign. It's actually a little bit useful.
- Pick a "default action". This is for when I get to update and you haven't told me what you want to do. I'll just have you do this.
- Finally, pick one Skill (http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Skill) to start higher than zero. Mine is Martial Arts, but you can pick any of the non-hidden skills. For example: I have a feeling that Vector and Japa would choose Logic (which they did not, hur hur,) where Barbarossa TSG would choose athletic.
FAQ:
So, how does this work?
I'll be playing one sim day at a time, trying to keep the inhabitants of the Halfway Haus from killing themselves, me, and the other residents. Each player gets two actions per Sim day, and the rest is up to their virtual counterpart. Other than their two actions, I will not be controlling them directly.
Will you keep track of our individual money?
Probably not, although I tend to make a lot of money, so if there's something you really want and have a good reason to have it, by all means, tell me.
Can you win?
Absolutely, and here's how. A) You fulfill your lifetime wish. B) You make the top of any Career path. C) You master your starting skill and any two others, or hit any three skill challenges. D) You have a long history of good behaviour and show mental stability on all fronts. Fulfill any of those goals, and you win the game, move out, and let the next poor slob take your spot. You're ready to be out on your own.
scrdest has won via Lifetime Wish fulfillment.
What restrictions are on us?
A) You cannot leave the Haus alone. I have to be with you, and I can't leave the rest of the Haus residents alone, either. That means you all have to agree to go somewhere, or we don't go. No international travel at all.
B) You cannot be employed full time. You're in a
C) No pets or overly dangerous things.
How do we lift those restrictions?
Restrictions a and b are pretty simple to lift. To lift restriction a, you need a Writ of Good Behaviour from me. It can be revoked at any time, so if you really want to go shopping or to the club, you need to be on your best behaviour all the time. To lift b and work full time, get a part time job and get promoted twice. That will show me that you can handle working without incident. It will also probably get you your own room. Restriction C cannot be lifted. Sorry, pet lovers.
Why a Halfway Haus of Madness?
Have you seen Bay12 lately? We're a bunch of whackjobs. Face it, we all need to be in an asylum.
What happens if I die or something?
Next person up. Your tombstone goes in the back yard (we're licensed for that), and someone else takes your spot. Tragic, but it happens sometimes.
Thus far: Barbarossa and BurntPies have succumbed to the Haus' madness.
What happens if I'm a background character?
I don't control you at all, you get no actions, and you don't live at the Halfway Haus. That said, the players can still interact with you if you show up, and I'll remove someone from the world for you to take their spot. That said, if you don't want to be in a waitlist and don't mind cameo roles, this is for you.
HugoLuman, Birdy51, Scriver, and DarkPaladin109 are background characters, currently. scrdest has been promoted to background character via winning.
What neighborhood are we in?
Aurora Skies.
I'm not sure if I want to sign up, and I need more information.
Take a peek here. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=98694.msg2889377#msg2889377)
Is this a Vanilla game of the Sims?
Oh, hell no. I have well over three dozen mods and hundreds of extra items and clothing pieces that I play with. Expect a little bit of weirdness.
Which Lifetime Wishes are unobtainable and why?1
Need to add people/Pets to the Haus: Mosnter Maker, More than a Machine, Surrounded by Family, The Animal Rescuer, The Ark Builder, The Fairy Tale Finder, The Jockey, The Zoologist
Require travel: Great Explorer, High Tech Collector, Made the Most of My Time, Major Master, Martial Arts Master (possibly, not enough research into mods done yet,) Perfect Student, Seasoned Traveler
Require you to be Supernatural: Greener Gardens, Leader of the Pack, Magic Makeover, Mystic Healer, Turn the Town, Zombie Master
Buggy in general: Fashion Phenomenon, Firefighter Super Hero, Home Design Hotshot, Paranormal Profiteer, Pervasive Private Eye
Wrong neighborhood (Needs to be Isla Paradisio, we're not there):Deep Sea Diver, Grand Explorer, Resort Empire, Seaside Savior
I know that's a lot, but the way we're going to be playing is somewhat restricted.

We have an amazingly swank pad, due to my awesome financial planning. We actually have quite a bit of money left, but I’m kind of saving that for haushold expenses. Day one began decent enough and got a little bit weirder as time went on. Exactly as you’d expect out of a
Note: Certain people (Vector, RedKing, and Barbarossa,) always have a positive moodlet for…being around someone attractive. I still haven’t isolated who it is that hands out the moodlet, and why it doesn’t affect any of the others.
I don’t know how you guys get by on a handful of pictures for your updates. I’m using 45 or so of the ones I took, and there were plenty more that didn’t turn out the way I wanted them, or were irrelevant. Anyway, update ahoy!

This is great.You're just as good as me. More pictures, more smartass. That's all it is. (I took almost 100 pictures this time, and just used the best. I had to weed out an uncomfortable amount of Sappho's rear end, she'd always turn away from the camera just as I hit c.) Snap pictures of everything, and make smartass comments about it all.

Ha! Mine looks nothing like me. X D But then, when I used to play the Sims, I spent many hours trying to make a sim look like me and I never once succeeded. And apparently my face looks completely different depending on what angle you see it at. Seriously, several people have told me that. Maybe I'm not entirely human... ; )
And yeah, I hate having my picture taken. Sorry about that, MZ. I'm enjoying my character's behavior. Good stuff! Please more! : D

I've never actually played Sims 3 so I don't really know the details about what I can do. So I guess, just whatever I need to do to work towards my life goal?So, there's lots of stuff you can do. In the OP, I linked a list of skills. You may pursue any of them, unless they are for children or are hidden. Our Haus has lots of amenities. You can lounge by or in the pool, read a book (skill or otherwise), watch tv, play video games, sculpt, paint, play an instrument, climb the rock wall, train martial arts with MZ, request that I buy or upgrade something, work out in the gym area, jump on the trampoline, play soccer or catch, or interact with your hausmates. For example, if you explicitly want to tell off RedKing for fighting with Vector (or vice versa,) you can choose that. Or, if you decide making a friend or flirting with someone is more appropriate, there's that option, too. (Note: I already set it so that you won't flirt with the men of the haus. I listen every once in a while.)
You can set up two actions per day, or a default action in case you don't get back to the thread before I update.

No, that was Max White. I somehow tunneled into the underworld whilst mining in the garden, emerged with much phat loot, joined the army, and decided that grubby overalls were the right attire for all night drinking and table dancing. Amongst other shenanigans.

Just one question: are there passable longcoats in this game?Sort of, but you have to hunt for custom (fan created) content.
-tai chi if availableUnfortunately, the only martial art is "sim fu". You can work on the training dummy, spar with me, and I can teach you to break boards. That said, once you hit level 5, you can meditate.

That, or use the Store, which is the same but paid. But I got a bunch with the starter pack and used ALL the credits on longcoats :D
They are pretty nice, though. There's a military-style single-breasted greatcoat, an oldschool Inverness cape kinda thing, some businessy ones...

That's...hmm. I live a conflicted life, obviously.Redking, hydrophobic makes you cry after you take a shower...That explains the breakdown. Huh.
In real life, I can't swim so I avoid swimming pools and the like, but I would stay in a hot bath or shower all day if I could.
Though oddly, I'm not bothered with being on a boat or hiking along the river in the backyard. I guess I just always have this mentality that if I fall in, it'll be like "Well, that sucks. Time to die."

I've got more meat on me now, but I still seem to lack buoyancy overall. And after three near-drowning experiences, I'm not really inclined to learn swimming and suffer through more of them.

Yeah, I do that too. I'm fairly light, but I am very dense and have a low surface area. I can swim if I go really fast forward to get lift, but I can't keep that up long. I literally cannot tread water.I'm super light and skinny, I can tread water with half my body up out of the water... Hips and up out. It's a bit tiring though...

Huh, weird. I have very efficient lungs from years of running and playing the euphonium, but they don't hold all that much air. Couple that with my dearth of buoyant tissue and I have to kick very hard to stay above water at all if I'm not moving forward.According to my euphonium playing friend, who has tried out my tuba on occasion, there's a world of difference in the amount of air required to play the two instruments.

Also, related to the swimming discussion - myself, I find treading water exceptionally easy, as well as floating - i'm just terrible at the motions of swimming. (My lung capacity is roughly 10% larger than the average 22 year old male, at 5L vs. 4.5L.)

I could make those of you wanting cameos into background characters, but that would effectively preclude you from joining the Haus in the future, as you'd follow the storyline of the neighborhood, getting married, having kids, getting old and dying and such.
Plus, it would imply a Bay12er is sane. And we just can't have our reputation tarnished like that.

Well then, new actions. Firstly, I think I need some new pyjamas. I mean, are those giraffe-print boxers I'm wearing?! Although then again, maybe it's warm in the Haus at this time of year. Whatever the case, I think I'll either request a pyjama shirt or just stop wearing my pyjamas all the time. :P
1: Do we have a stereo in the Haus? If so, listen to some music. If not, read a book instead. Preferably a novel of some kind.
2: Head into town and go to the bar, sink a few glasses of "juice" and try to chat to people.
Need folks to invite over for parties, after all. Plus, being cooped up all day would get old fast.

So, here's the deal. The Haus is very low on money thanks to some recent expensive purchases (like a nectar press and a flat screen tv on the wall,) and it's going to be a bit before that Tiberium is worth selling. So, I'm lifting the restriction on full time jobs. If you have a lifetime wish that's based on getting into a career, I'd suggest taking up the offer before I change my mind. If you get to level 3 of any career, I'll build you your own bedroom, but we need money for that.
Get your turns in for the next day! Most of you are stir crazy, and could use some time away from the Haus. Jobs will help alleviate that problem, as will doing things like busking in a park, exploring the catacombs under the graveyard, and finding a nice spot to fish. Just not in public pools, please.

Question, max: How did you get your Sims 3 game running without that horrific script slowdown from Hot Date or whatever it's called? Every ten to fifteen seconds, the game just stops for 5 seconds at a time, full FPS, just not doing anything. Even with Hot Date uninstalled, it still does it for me.I can't remember for sure, but I think I remember someone saying it comes from a random NPC sim getting stuck in an un moveable position, so constantly tries to path out to whatever it needs to get to.
I can't be sure of that though.

Bingo. And to fix it, I run nraas Overwatch, which auto-resets stuck sims, deletes abandoned cars, and prevents toddlers from wandering off their lots, which all cause massive lag. I run a ton of nraas mods, and they're all lovely. Go get them. (http://nraas.wikispaces.com/NRaas+Industries+Home+Continued#The%20Mods) Master Controller, Overwatch and Error Trap are absolutely essential.Question, max: How did you get your Sims 3 game running without that horrific script slowdown from Hot Date or whatever it's called?

Edit: That said, you can also be self employed in several ways:
Skills that can be self-employed as actual work-from-home careers: Alchemy (you read that right,) Fishing, Gardening, Inventing, Nectar Making, Painting, Sculpting, Writing.
Other things you can do for money: Start a band or busk in a park, break rocks with MZ, write a book or comic book, grow plants with Vector and scrdest, tend bar, make a sculpture, paint, adventure in the catacombs (or invent the Miner and dig a hole to adventure in,) go fishing, hack the interwebs (if you have computer whiz,) get to level 3 in logic and search the galaxy for new stars with the telescope, or dig into alchemy or chemistry and make potions. Once you get enough money, you can buy properties and turn a profit doing nothing!

This is not actually a double post. Why? Because I'm doing this. (Character synopsises took no time from the game, and only about 20 minutes real-time. Take that as you will.) There are some weird things going on in the Haus of Madness, notably with Lifetime Happiness. If you spend time working toward your lifetime wish, you get goals to achieve, and those help you earn Lifetime Rewards points. Being unhappy or having negative moodlets, like being singed or fighting with people (Japa and RedKing, I'm looking at you,) lower your ability to earn these points. Here (http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/lifetimerewards/) is an in-depth guide to what you can do with them, how you can earn them, and everything else about them. Sappho is the undisputed queen of Lifetime Rewards points because scultping a) takes up most of her time, b) works toward her Lifetime Wish, and c) is worth a lot of points.
Notable skills are those above 2 or relevant to our story. Notable relationships are those above 10 points or below -10 points. We all know each other, but most of us don't really know each other, you know?
Some of you folks are self employed in careers that allow you to work at your own pace. Burnt Pies, Sappho, and Vector get promotions (and bonuses) based on how much they create and sell. The "Funds to promotion" just lets you know how much more you have to create to get the next bonus. Everyone else that has a job has a regular one, where you leave home for a while and sell your time for money. It takes a lot longer to get promoted in these, but the money is much steadier. The rest of you unemployed slobs should get a job. :P I don't have a job because I look after you all and the Haus, and breaking rocks for gems makes a crapload of money. Surprisingly, Wolfeyez decided she wanted a job, and is following RedKing to work in the Bistro.

Perhaps a bud house will have to be arranged, a holding house for the rest of the gang.The problem with this is that if people are in the neighborhood, they're affected by the story engine. You're not static. NPCs get jobs, fall in love, make friends, get married, have kids, age up, and even die. If you want a cameo appearance without being in the Haus, this is fine, but if you're holding out hope of joining the main story, this is a bad idea.

A picture or physical description: Caucasian male, about 5'11. Short, flat, brown hair with short stubble for facial hair. Wears glasses. I personally usually wear a T-Shirt and sweatpants. For Formal Attire, wear a black tuxedo with a red tie.
Five traits. Insanity, Proper, Snob, Evil, Kleptomaniac - Because why not!
A Lifetime Wish. Emperor of Evil
Favorites: Color, Food, and Music. Red, Ratatouille, Classical
Your Zodiac sign. Taurus!
Pick a "default action": Actions of evil.
Starting Skill: Logic
If it's alright, I'd like him to bring along an exceedingly ugly cat to the house named Mittens. Just make it look horrifying beautiful and we've got a good idea of what to look for. Otherwise, consider this an NPC application when you have the time!

If not, make a character and put in bold that you want to be an NPC.Err, either I read this wrong or that I know there's a difference but I misunderstand the orange parts, because they do look quite the same in meaning here, as an end result. @_@

Vector speaks Russian? I didn't know that. Wow, my Vector-worship-indicator just went one up. That could explain why she liked C&P while RedKing didn't. She got to enjoy Dostojevski's Russian, while RedKing only got a translation. Unless RedKing also speaks Russian, and you're all KGB agents or something.I'll just say that Vector is a polyglot. Yeah. She's ossum. :3
And I need to read more authors and their works. I..have no idea who Dostojevski is ._.
I know. The shame. It burns. Ahh...

However, knowing what I now know about Russian culture in general (living in a former Russian-communist country), I can see why it's popular with Russians. I saw a Russian film once... Just long, long sequences of silence and not really anything happening. Just like Dostojevsky! Don't really know why non-Russian-speakers like it, though. In university I always assumed people just pretended to like it in order to sound sophisticated.
So, everyone's thinking it, I'm just gonna come out and ask it: who won the game of handegg?

Ya govaryuu malenkiye po-russki. I used to be halfway decent at it, but that's been many years ago. My problem wasn't with the style or the translation, it was the main character. Raskolnikov is the biggest bipolar wuss in Russian literature.

I'd trust WolfEyez and MaximumZero with a baby. Maybe not the other hausmates, but those two are very responsible.Japa and Sanju have one on the way. RedKing has two children, iirc.

Hey, I'm a 1st/2nd grade school teacher, used to be a preschool teacher, and have 2 baby nieces and a nephew that I've spent lots of time babysitting. Also used to be a nanny for 2 kids in Switzerland. I think you can trust me.^ Trust her instead! Sappho is muchly capable of this.

How often are new sims added to the Haus?
I'm guessing it's when enough die/graduate.
What are the requirements to have a Writ of Good Behavior revoked?
I just want to know because I forsee that it will take a long time to get mine. ;)
What happened to no overly dangerous things? Didn't Redking fall into a giant hole in the backyard today?

Question time.Dingdingding!
How often are new sims added to the Haus?
I'm guessing it's when enough die/graduate.
What are the requirements to have a Writ of Good Behavior revoked?Going to be honest with you, here. The Writ of Good Behavior was mostly a narrative aid that went largely out the window, and was an excuse to kind of force people to hang out at home and build relationships with each other. Notice that a few players (Yoink, Kal, Tiruin, and Sanju) did not really have to earn one. I wouldn't worry about it. Furthermore, RedKing and Vector have not lost theirs, despite being pretty terrible to each other. I really thought it would be more important to the overall story of the Haus, but it's taken a very backseat role to all the other nonsense that's going on.
I just want to know because I forsee that it will take a long time to get mine. ;)
I'm also looking to get the Haus back down to 8 sims (so 6 extra players, Wolfeyez and myself,) due to lag issues, so it could take a while to get into the Haus, although we have a couple of people on the verge of graduating.
What happened to no overly dangerous things? Didn't Redking fall into a giant hole in the backyard today?That's mostly to hammer home that the Sims largely doesn't allow things like weaponry. The Haus itself is chock full of dangerous stuff, as is the town at large. Also, he didn't fall, he jumped in.

Can you win?
Absolutely, and here's how. A) You fulfill your lifetime wish. B) You make the top of any Career path. C) You master your starting skill and any two others, or hit any three skill challenges. D) You have a long history of good behaviour and show mental stability on all fronts. Fulfill any of those goals, and you win the game, move out, and let the next poor slob take your spot. You're ready to be out on your own.

aughIIRC 'sie' is not based on the German third person singular feminine pronoun 'sie', and also not on the third person plural pronoun 'sie', but on the second person singular pronoun of respect/unaquaintedness 'Sie' - yes, the capital letter is the only difference, and I think that in fact 'Sie' was originally derived from the second type of 'sie' mentioned. 'Sie' is gender-neutral though.

I had planned to do a final update, but that didn't happen (obviously.) I can't keep up, guys. Every update takes me several hours and I'm already stretched to the breaking point as it is. It was great in the beginning, but I (once again,) took on too many people and had too much going on.
Furthermore, I have a lot of shit going on in my life, between baby and custody issues with my first kid, trying to find a better paying job, trying to get a real haus of my own and that not working out quite how it was supposed to, freelancing, staying away from the internet in general because I spend too much time here, and being sick. It's been...rough. I don't even have enough money to go buy myself lunch if I forget to take something to work.
I'm sorry, guys. I didn't mean to let you down again.
