Whoo! That's a pretty awesome score, if I do say so myself. =) I just hope I do as well in round two!

In celebration of my score, I thought I'd make a post to keep everyone entertained while I write my entry for assignment two.

I present to you, Contestants and Lurkers..........





The Assignment One Bloopers!
(Because let's face it, even with free will off and the most controlling of players, sometimes our Sims still do whatever the hell they want to anyway.)




Alright, let's see what we've got on the blooper reel...

First up, during the shoot for the opening scene (in which Sammie's Sim decides to break in and bring cake), Sammie decided that just the act of breaking in was not enough to prove herself, and immediately continued to strike the 'brave'/'adventurous' pose.

Seriously, what was she looking at? They're indoors.

Next are some pictures from Sammie's tour. I wanted to show off Riverview's awesome school house, because it has a pretty amazing garden across from it. However, by the time I managed to get Sammie and my Simself to the school, it was dark. I decided to have them wait there and just take the images when the sun rose. Imagine my surprise when I glanced over at 2am their time to see that they were not waiting in the dark alone.

Creepy. A whole new level of creepy.

This old woman, who's name I temporarily forget, just came by and stood right near Sim Cheyanne and Sammie. She made no attempt at conversation, just stood there and stared. I expected her to go away after a few minutes, because I know Sims walk around the neighborhood and what-have you, but no. She stood there for what seemed like ages. Just...staring.

That is, of course, until she had to go to the bathroom.
-waves bye to creepy old lady-

My moment of peace did not last long, though. She was quickly replaced by someone I assume to be her daughter or grand-daughter, because they shared the same last name.

Either they have the Insane Trait, or creepy just runs in the family.

She did the same thing as the older woman, only broke up her periods of uncomfortable staring with a few clapping and cheering every now and then. She didn't do the insane talking to herself action, so I wonder if they're really crazy or what. I'll definitely be looking into this family once I have some more free time.

Thankfully, she didn't stay as long as her relative did.

(If you're wondering why the garden tour wasn't included in the official entry, just blame the creepies up there. [But if you want the truth, I thought my entry was getting rather long, so I chose not to include that part.])

Anyway, moving on to another part of the tour- the library. We ran into another interesting character on our way in. This time it was a little boy, who also enjoyed staring at our Sims. He followed us around for a little bit, and I was getting kind of worried but then he ran right back into the library like nothing had happened. Still, all this starring..maybe I shouldn't be writing a mystery, haha.

Maybe it's the hair. When will kids learn that curly hair =/= clown?

Okay, so, after the tour we went over to the yard sale scene. One Sim was already waiting for us there, and despite having free will turned off she decided that the music box was important enough to break the gaming laws of physics.

While RJ and I had our Tiff, Emma drowned us out with classical music.

And finally...

My favorite Blooper happened on the Girl's Night scene. I noticed the bar tender was doing a lot of moving, so I zoomed in on him, thinking he was mixing some cool complicated drink.

But no, he was just exercising.

Being a mixologist is hard work, but not as hard as being a hunk.

And I just totally noticed the larger Sim with glasses in the picture staring at the Mixologist. Hahahaha.


That's it for now, but maybe there will be more in Assignment Two. Stay tuned to see how the mystery continues!
