I got a reality show for you, Paris!

No, I haven’t abandoned my Mystics.   Instead I’m going to start another Wishful living family, this one with a slight twist.

A little bit of background first… we currently have two PC’s in the house.  The Mystic family is on one..and previously my son preferred to use the other computer, allowing me to sim in peace.  Lately, however, he’s been using the PC the Mystics are on…so there are large chunks of time when I can’t get to play on that PC.  But the other one is free.  At some point I may try and copy my save games on a flash drive to transfer from one PC to the other, but for now I’ve just got to go with the flow.

So I decided to start another wishful living family on the “other” PC.  But as I said earlier, this one is going to have a twist.

The scene opens at Twinbrook.  Specifically a ramshackle building on the edge of a murky swamp.  A small figure can be made out just in front of the shack.

The camera pans in closer.

Paris:  All right, what gives?  The Simple Life ended ages ago, and no way in hell is this what I had in mind for my new show.. my new BFF.”

Oh, simple, Paris.  This is the reality show to end all realities… and if you’re lucky you’ll fulfill all your dreams and make a lot of friends!

Paris:  Really?  In this dump?  You have got to be kidding me.

(pulls the mike back so Paris can not overhear).  Yup, a Wishful Living family with Paris Hilton as our foundress.  The twist I mentioned earlier?  Something about Mizz Hilton annoys the crap outta me, so while I will fulfill her lifetime wish, I’m gonna hook her up to the fugliest sim I can find and mutate her descendants! {insert maniacal laughter}

A little background on Paris herself:  she’s a young adult and her traits are: ambitious, flirty, neurotic, snob, party animal.  The version I am using in game came from Mod the Sims.  (The traits that came with the download were the same except one.. they had her as lucky, and I thought ambitious suited her better.)  Of all the lifetime wishes I had to choose from while in CAS, I thought Bottomless Nectar Cellar suited her the best. (The goal of that wish is to h ave at least 50 bottles in your nectar cellar totaling $50,000 Simoleons in value.)  And once she gets to having kids, she might need that booze to look at them.  (giggles)

The camera pans back to Paris who is still looking at her new “home” with her lips curled in disgust.    Well Paris, before we talk more about the show, why don’t you explore the town a bit and start that friend making?

Paris:  I wanna go to France! (whines)

In a bit, m’dear.  In a bit.  Our producers are arranging your ticket now.  But in the meantime why not explore Twinbrook more, maybe take a class in charisma?

Paris:  I don’t need charisma.. I am Paris Hilton!

Just go to town.

Paris: (huffs) Well, all right.  Fine!

So Paris goes to town and takes a charisma class, because no matter what your lifetime wish, a little schmoozing and socializing never hurts.   I was on the lookout for a specific sim, but since we didn’t see him, I sent Paris to France.  (Now doesn’t that sound funny?!)

Paris:  This is more like it!  France.. home of nectar making and all the finer things.

So before I have Paris take an adventure she goes to buy the three nectar making books.   Then off to the nectary to harvest some grapes (Renoit and Cherimola Blan)..THEN she heads off on her adventure.

Paris:  This SUKS! I got my books and nectar maker, I wanna go home!  Why do I have to do this?

Because you got the two common varieties of grape, Paris.  You want the more uncommon and rare ones you have to do adventures to build up your visa level.  And Edith wants her baseball..so move it!

Paris:  Ack!  Bugs!  Call in my stunt double!

This is reality, Paris.. deal with it.

Eventually she does find the treasure baseball…and its late into her second day of her three day stay.  She has enough time to do one more mission, which is to convince three locals to use the store..which she does.  Then she heads “home” to her shack.

Like I said before, I had a special sim in mind for Paris’ partner/spouse.  I had thought he was a stylist, but as it turns out I guess his profession can vary from game to game.

I apologize for the small image.. it must have gotten resized in the upload.  But yeah.. Juan Dryer.  Its hard to see in this picture, but dear Juan has lots to recommend himself on the ugly front… a jutting chin, a huge nose and a unibrow.  Ah, think of the spawnlings!

Juan endears himself to me by immediately getting with the program.

Juan:  oooh yeah baby, get a load of those!  I wonder if they’re real…

Earlier in gameplay, Paris had gotten enough happiness points to purchase a reward..and I purchased “observant”.  Personally I don’t think she’s all that up there, but observant helps with learning traits..and if you build the charisma skill high enough it makes life so much easier with starting bonuses to friendships, etc.  Paris invites Juan in and in talking to him learns three of his traits:  insane, neurotic and (blanking on the third).  But since they both share the neurotic trait, they hit it off.

and then some!

Paris:  I think I just threw up in my mouth.  Ewww!

One thing leads to another.  Paris doesn’t realize I hit “try for baby”, but alas..no chimes were heard.

Paris:  Juan, we’ve only known each other for a little while…. but I’d like you to make an honest woman of me.  (mutters) Plus something is making me do this!  Note to self: call the lawyers for an ironclad prenup!

Juan:  Hey baby.. I’m insane but not nuts!   And unlike you, I’m not that easy!

Yup.. Juan shot her down.

Will Paris convince Juan to make a semihonest woman out of her?  Will there be sims the likes of which God has never seen?

Stay tuned!
