Mojave Gulch Challenge Neighborhood

Where are they now?

I thought I'd bring you updates on my former roommates. Let's start shall we?

Shaunna Phishy

Shaunna invited Mom over to her place for a barbecue. If any of you have been reading, we all know what kind of cook Shaunna is. I hope Geoff was cooking that night. Shaunna had some news to share...

Geoff, Shaunna's hubby had rented a little home here in Mojave Gulch to be close by when she was released. I guess they celebrated her release a bit too much, cause well Shaunna was expecting! Oh wait, it gets better...

Not only was Shaunna expecting, Geoff was bored while waiting for her to be released and adopted a puppy. Apparently they have a very cute Pomeranian back home and he missed their dog, I don't know I kinda stopped listening when Mom was telling me about it. What?! Like you've never stopped listening when your mom was talking to you? Cha, that's what I thought!

Now for the funny part, Louis is born and they want Mom to house sit and babysit and DOG sit. Yup you heard me right. Apparently Mrs. P had so much fun at the asylum she's doing it again, only Geoff said he wont let her go without him. They're now over in Crazy Zetas hoping to survive the challenge. Mom hopes Shaunna piddles herself again! I hope the baby piddles on Mom!

Rachel Ziecy

Rachel Ziecy is really Rachel Ziese-Lecy as many of you have guessed. She promptly left after the wedding and moved back to Prosperity Point with her family. She has some great looking kids. You should head over there and look in on her from time to time. I think she may have left the asylum prematurely, she is still in denial that she is a sim.

Chuck Norris

No one has seen Chuck since the wedding. Rumor has it he went to Hollywood to be the real Chuck Norris' stunt double only to be told he looks more like Ewan McGregor. Besides, isn't Chuck Norris is retired from movies?

Joy Robbins & Grim Reaper

Joy Robbins and Grim Reaper have become permanent residents as downtownies along with thier friend Ziggy Stardust. They visit often with Paige Lyn and Zaed.

Ziggy Stardust

Although Ziggy Stardust moved downtown with Joy & Grim, he has been seen in the musical circuit. Who knew he had it in him? David Bowie? Mom, who's David Bowie?
Along with his musical career as a wicked guitarist, he has become a permanent fixture in Clyde Daily's line up of booty calls... or is it the other way around seeing how Ziggy Man is a star?

Paige Lyn & Zaed Robbins

Zaed is a clone of the true Zaed Robbins, a proud Anatothian from Prosperity Falls. I will carry his seed and start a colony of Anatothian peoples here at Mojave Gulch.

Oh sure I know we're both sims, so okay this isn't the real Zaed, the real Zaed is old! Having met Joy, Zaed and Xuan I also realize they all remember parts of their life in Prosperity Falls, right up until they were cloned and sent here to Mojave Gulch, yet their family tree relationship has been totally messed up. There is no family relations other than their last name and genetics. So I play along and humor my husband. Isn't that our job as wives?

We moved in to this house, its not complete yet, we have some work to finish upstairs. Floors & the walls and such. We were waiting till the children were born so we'd know what colors to decorate.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is our frist child, our son. Zaed named him Timo after his father who named him Zaed after his father so Zaed had Timo who had Zaed who had Timo. Yeah don't think about it too hard, it will make you dizzy. Unfortunatley he has my skin tone, although he has his father's eyes and hair.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Timo grew up as all children do and I'm pregnant again. Did I mention I created Gir, the servo? Oh, well I did and now he takes such good care of Timo, I have all kinds of free time to study and do my nails and just be pregnant. Timo is a good boy, he doesn't even need me, its sad really. I mean, I'm the mom right? Shouldn't I like be a mom to him?

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Let's hope for a girl this time. I really want a daughter to torture like Mom did with me. What? Isn't that the hope of every mother, for the children to have kids that act exactly like them?

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I got my wish! Meet my daughter Jasmine, she has her father's skin and his mother's eyes. I'm not sure about the hair yet, but I would guess its mine.

Days 21 - 23

Day 21:
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Ziggy Man, shower please! Ugh, he stinks so bad and what does he do? Instead of showering he checks himself out to see if his breath stinks. Yes, that stinks too!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Okay there are 2 interesting things about this picture.
1. Clyde here let himself in to the house and started cheering for Ziggy Man.
2. There is no skill bar above Ziggy's head while he plays guitar, so that must mean he maxed the skill!
Wow, who knew he had it in him? Uh, David Bowie? Who's David Bowie?

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Aw best friends, good job Ziggy, I wonder what this means for your future... if anything.

Day 22:
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Mommy did you see it? Did you? Do you KNOW what this means? Tomorrow I go to work and I can get promoted, OMG its almost over... now if only everyone can stay alive for one more day. What do you mean you're disappointed? Oh that is just mean! Well you must have learned from your last asylum and from reading other peoples' asylums. Deal with it, you are going to get points this time around!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Speaking of points, look Mommy my Zaed just maxed his creativity. He is so cool. Can I keep him? Marry him, keep him... same thing right?

Day 23:
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Well talk about timing. Jenn Wooto showed up in front of the house just as the challenge is over. I'm at work and can't even greet her. This is so not nice of her. Oh she isn't nice? Well no wonder she is your friend.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Yeah Me! I rock, we are SO out of here! *doing the happy dance* There is just one last thing I want to do before I move out of here...

Days 19 - 20

Day 19:

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After I come home today, I will have the weekend off to study and hopefully by Tuesday we'll still have all 7 friends and possibly earn that last one. I can't believe we're almost out of here! This is going to be such a long weekend. No I don't mean cause we have 3 more days, I just meant it's going to drag on. By the way, I learned enough about cooking. I have only cleaning left! Its going to take forever cause I have to max that one.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Yes! My last friend, thank you Joy and Jack Indabocks! Did you know we had real television stars in this neighborhood? Cha me either! I wonder if we'll get to meet my favorite Juss Habinfunn...

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
My stars Mrs. Z did it! She has finally tied Mr. Norris! I know that wont stop them, but I really think we need to give her this moment to celebrate!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Check me out, I came home best friends with Mr. Wooto. He keeps saying he will bring his wife over to visit, but he doesn't. Something about being killed in your last asylum... did you really? That's just cold, Mom. I'm thinking Mr. W here doesn't know I'm related to you, or he may not be my friend anymore.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Huh, well that didn't last long. Oh well, sorry Mrs. Z, maybe next time.

Day 20:
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Why wont you let me just fix the shower? It keeps leaking and I keep mopping and then it leaks some more and these crazy people wont stay out of the bathroom. Um, Zaed, maybe you can't walk because you managed to get the mop in your leg? Weird glitchy sim game.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Poor Joy was so tired after playing all that chess with that Jack guy, but that isn't really the funny part.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Yes, that is the funny part. Mrs. P keeps talking to her as if she were still awake and the best part, she was gaining a positive relationship with her. She probably just thinks Joy is such a great listener!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Ouch, sorry Mrs. Z, how is your pride holding up? You landed real hard that time.

Days 17 - 18

Day 17:
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Woohoo! I so rock, thank you Mrs. Z you are the best chess partner and it helps keep you away from Mr. Norris, bonus!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Someone said something about my mother wears combat boots. How did they know? Well, the difference between you & me... I make this look good! *giggle* Okay... cha... whatever. I'm already in an asylum, what more can you do to me? Oh that's not right!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's not even Mrs. Z anymore. She gets a bit steamed with him, but honestly its all Mr. Norris. He keeps slapping her, I thought that Joy would keep him busy so he would leave Mrs. Z alone. Guess you thought wrong... what, you told me to!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Okay Mrs. Z, to celebrate we can watch tv tonight when I get home from work. I need 2 more cooking and 1 more cleaning skills before I can reach the top!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I tried to tip this guy, hoping he would stay around for a while, but I guess I should have just talked with him instead cause he took the money and ran. No I don't think it was cause we're an asylum, others don't seem to care, so why should he? Yes, but I need 3 more friends for my LTW and I need to talk with more people.

Mom you are so slipping, did you know I got a promotion today? Ya well where is the picture? Your video card. Uh huh, likely story. I think you're making it all up cause you are so slipping with the picture taking and what is this with the combining two days together again? You are so getting lazy on me!

Day 18:
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I didn't know the microwave could break, too. Why do you get so worked up every time I have to fix something electrical? I have a lot of mechanical skills now cause everything breaks so much. I can? Huh, well I'm fine and everything is fixed again. Today I fixed this microwave, the dishwasher and the toilet was all clogged again.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
OMGosh, do they all know? Oh how embarrassing! Ya, I know we were on the couch, but they were all other places being busy doing whatever it is they do. I could just die! No, not really, I want to survive this... forget I said that.

Here is my trick to making enough friends for promotions:
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
1. Greet Everyone
Anyone that happens by, I greet them and talk with them to get them to *hang out* with me.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
2. Hang Out
Once I get them to hang out with me, I get the attention of another inmate, usually Joy here cause she is a popularity sim. As soon my relationship with the sim is decent enough I leave the hang out session and they stay put till they're friends and they have some kind of needs failure.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Bonus, a second sim is passing by! It is his twin brother, Jefferson. They totally look nothing alike.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Anyhow, I played kickyball with Jefferson long enough to make friends with him and Joy over there hung out with Geoffrey long enough to make friends. Now I need one more for my last promotion. Anyhow I forgot to mention step 3, which is very important or this doesn't work. 3. stay acquainted with the sim... that just means you have to have enough of a relationship with the person so you can invite them over to stay friends with your inmate of choice.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Okay Mom, I see what you mean about your video card. What is going on with my plumbob? Its suppose to be platinum, but it has a freakish green glow! Your new card better get here soon, or we may have some troubles ahead.

Days 14-16

Day 14:
Yes! I got another promotion tonight! No more ugly pink pants! Gosh those pants were so ugly and uncomfy and the matching shoes. Man, those sucked.

Joy shouldn't gossip about Mrs. P... even if she did start a fire our first week here... what do you mean she isn't the one gossiping? I said that? OMGosh, do you think Mrs. P knows? Well crap, don't tell her!

Day 16:
Wait Mommy, what happened to day 15? No, it goes from day 14 straight to day 16... nothing happened noteworthy so you're just skipping... nuh uh, something must have happened... what do you mean you fell asleep? Oh my GOSH Mommy, I could have died and you wouldn't have even known it! Man this sucks, and you say to trust you? Cha, I need to get out of this place before we all die.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
So this is what happened when you first opened the lot again? Are you sure no fights happened yesterday? Cha, you wont know until after we get out of here and if they die you will never know. Can you live with that? Oh, you can? well.. um, so who wins?

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Mommy you are really slipping! Mrs. Z wins and you miss her triumph picture. My brother was WoW'ing and showed you something. Okay I will blame my brother. He's use to that.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I'm sorry Mrs. Z, my mom is so not a photographer. We all know you kicked butt today.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Ew this so stinks! Do I really have to stick my head in here? Gross, I think I got some jello in my hair.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Will these two ever stop? Every time Mrs. Z gets caught up, he starts up again to gain the lead.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Woohoo, Mom did you see that? No the floating numbers over Mrs. Z! Yup, she may still be crying about her fights with Mr. Norris, but I haven't seen her play with the volleyball anymore. Now if I could just figure out how to make the others stop worrying so much.

Did you know that Clyde is a cheater? Yes, well I forgot... but he cheated at chess too. He's silly cause he thinks I don't know, but he doesn't know about you and your cameras, so I let him believe I didn't know. I'm not mad at him, cause thanks to him I got another friend. No, not me and him... him and the Ziggy Man are friends. They're both romance, and Clyde is gay... so I introduced them. *giggle*
