Sims Sunday: That’s Entertainment!

One thing that happened this week is that I played host to Wonko the Sane. (I love these stage names!) He reminded me a little bit of Frohike Langly, my favorite Lone Gunman.

He had a few spectacular failures.

But finished strong!

Another thing that happened is, I discovered that host requests expire! Someone else sent me a host request, but I didn’t have time to host before it ran out. Sorry!

If I don’t host your Sim, please just re-send… I’m not ignoring anyone, I promise!

Splutz played for tips to make a little spending money. It didn’t go well.


sims sunday

I gave her the stage name “Splutztastic!”

I’m so happy that Showtime has brought back the Photo Booth! Not seen since the days of Sims 2: photo booth snapshots you can hang up on your walls.


sims sunday

Aww.

I got a laugh out of this: at Eldritch’s birthday party, Dallas peed himself. And immediately distanced himself from the puddle.


sims sunday

“Puddle? What puddle?” A true politician!

Splutz later auditioned for her first real gig. Her “invisible box” routine doesn’t seem to be wowing the proprietor.

But when she finished her routine, he was super stoked!


sims sunday

“AAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!”

Or maybe he just had ulterior motives! These two started autonomously flirting while I was sitting at my desk just eating my lunch and minding my own business.


sims sunday

He really digs her!


sims sunday

Pity he’s too pretty to have kids with her.

Splutz’s first performance was a failure. At least she didn’t kill anyone with these knives.


sims sunday

Oops, I mean, “It’s too bad she didn’t kill anyone with these knives.”

As for little Eldritch, when she grew into a Young Adult the game gave her the “Evil” trait. I played around with outfits for a long time before I settled on this one.


sims sunday

It’s great, right? Classy? Look at those pockets hanging out the bottom of her cut-offs! LOVE IT.

The mystery of her strange gray pallor was solved when she grew up and turned into a vampire. I guess it skipped a generation. (As you may recall, her grandfather Ethan Parrot was a vampire.)

I cured her of her vampirism at the Science Center, but she got to keep the nifty gold eyes.

For Eldritch, I went with the Singer career. You start out by performing for tips and giving Singing Telegrams to random Sims around town.


sims sunday

While wearing a stupid outfit! (The only bad thing about these outfits is that they remind me of those cymbal-banging clockwork monkeys*. And those things have always creeped me out.)

Delivering singing telegrams gives you a lot of chances to meet other Sims and check out their houses. Which is how I found this wonderful collection of chairs in the dining room of one of the pre-made houses.


sims sunday

There is nothing not to like about this final snapshot.


sims sunday

You can actually add a pair of bunny ears to the bunny pajama outfit, but I thought this was a little over the top. (Deadpan.)

* Today I learned that the real name of the cymbal-banging clockwork monkey toy is Musical Jolly Chimp.. Thanks, Wikipedia, for making my future nightmares more accurate!

  • Aw man, Wonko didn’t keep his ridiculously recoloured work outfit. I’ll have to take a screenshot at some point.

    I was randomising stage names, the , and then remembered Wonko the Sane, from So Long and Thanks for all the Fish. (I believe. It might have been Mostly Harmless? One of the later Hitchhiker’s Guide books.)

    I’ve been playing a new family, to get used to showtime, before going back to my blog family, but I may need to blog about Wonko’s family for a bit instead, really having a lot of fun with him.

  • Er, ‘randomising stage names, (something) the (something)’, that should read. I used the wrong type of brackets.

  • Emilie

    Did you know that you can change the career outfit? To not have your sims looks like Musical Jolly Chimps while performing sing-o-grams to cheer up vampires, for example ^.^

    Oh, and I also found that house with a kind of Bohemian interior. Loved it! :)

  • Okay, so Eldritch is an evil DaisyDukes singing quasi-vampire in a Musical Jolly Chimp suit whose mother can’t fight her way out of an invisible box.
    Okay, got it. (This is getting really complicated…)

  • two silver cats

    Wait… he looks more like Langly than Frohike. Or am I misremembering the names?

  • Erika

    Whoops, no, you’re right – I had checked Wikipedia to make sure, but I guess I read it wrong?

  • two silver cats

    Does that mean I win the Internets?

    I have also bumped it up to the top of my queue. It’s been a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time since I’ve watched it!

  • I posted pics of his career outfit to my blog: http://fayeplus.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/wonko-sane.html

    It is ridiculous, and I love it.

  • Swinegrl

    I think that Wonko looks like Dana Carvey as Garth in Waynes world.
    BTW Faye he is very cute.

  • gabes

    Not as cute as splutz c’mon
