The Harrison Boys' Non-bc - Part one
Hi, hi. I know I am behind with comments again, but I seem to be sitting down of an evening and doing something completely different to commenting. I've been like this for over a year now, and it annoys me, but I seem to be having real difficulty breaking the pattern and getting back to commenting like I used to. *sadface*
I have been doing simming things instead though, so it's not like I've neglected everything sim related. This week, I've been downloading stuff and working on the costumes for my Halloween shoot. Everyone now looks good, and I have to start work on the sets and thinking about what shots I want. I've also updated the family tree and Who's Who, and I've finished playing the unimportant houses in the rotation. I'm now at the point where I can start playing and filming for chapter 24.1, which is good.
I do however still need to make some recolours of pictures and sort out who Peter and Andrew are going to marry. This leads me to this post. You see, I had a few people mention that they wouldn't say no to their simselves meeting the boys, and so I created a family consisting of the boys and six simselves. I then plonked them on a lot in my challenge hood to see who would choose who. It's a non-BC if you will.
The ladies:
Jess (Mzyra), Katy (Hurrikaty), Lily (Cobaltazure), Marina (Smoothiequeen87), Rose (Rosefyre), Widget (Widget).
The rules (such as they are):
The sims were placed on the lot and their relationships zeroed out, the girls' with Andrew and Peter, the boys with each of the girls.
Turn ons for the boys were set at make up and unemployed, for the girls fitness and unemployed.
Each boy did a low level flirt (check out) with a random girl to set their gender preference. Each girl did a low level flirt (also check out) on each boy.
Sims are left on free will, and no interaction is cancelled out. The exception is using move here to get everyone out of the bathroom or similar, and stocking up the buffet.
I'm topping up their energy and comfort levels, and keeping fun within a comfortable range. I'm also topping up bladder if a sim can't get to a toilet, because the way is blocked. The only time I'm not topping up fun, comfort etc is, if a sim is engaged in an activity which they won't easily drop, eg hang out or splash. The reason being, I'm leaving them to decide when to stop doing that activity.
I've used InSim to turn jealousy off on the lot.
The pictures won't be up to my usual spec: there will be plumbbobs and thought bubbles etc.
Part one is brought to with extra comments by group chat.
Part one.
Day one started innocently enough with Marina and Andrew pillow fighting:

And Lily talking to Peter:

And then despite Marina and Lily comendeering Andrew and peter's attention at first, Widget has gone in with the first flirt.
Widget (22:13:21): Go me!
Rose (22:13:29): heh
this is with their relationship at 4/0
Lily decides that she doesn't like this, and distracts Widget with a game of catch:

What is Andrew doing at this time?
Poor Andrew is standing there, waiting to talk to Lily

Widget (22:17:22): aww
Rose (22:17:30): haha
Me (22:18:06): Oo, now rose has decided to up her game
Rose (22:18:12): ooooh

Rose (22:18:35): haha
Shortly after this, Jess made her move:

Rose (22:19:53): ...is anyone going after Andrew?
Rose (22:19:56): we all seem to want Peter!
Me (22:20:38): Marina pillow fought with him, but everyone seems to be after Peter with his 10 nice points.
Widget (22:20:43): Heh
Rose (22:20:49): haha
Me (22:21:16): Katy is splashing in a puddle and I caught Marina turning on the stereo
Rose (22:21:50): haha
Widget (22:21:55): Haha
Katy (22:24:51): -_-
Katy (22:24:56): Way to go me
Katy (22:25:01): You're going to die a lonely old spinster
Widget (22:25:04): aww
Rose (22:25:04): awww
Rose (22:25:12): she's got Stanley, though!
Rose (22:25:20): ...well, as much as any one woman has Stanley
It's true. Katy was splashing in a puddle:

While Marina had turned the stereo on, and then went to have a swim:

I deleted the diving board and steps soon after, as well as getting rid of the piano. I didn't want the sims getting tied up with activities that weren't group ones.
Next comes more proof that some sims are very serious about winning one of the boys:

Rose (22:25:26): hahaha
Rose (22:25:28): go simRose!
Widget (22:25:29): Lol
Katy (22:25:41): Come on Katy, Andrew is free.. maybe
Katy (22:25:51): 3 bolts, you
Katy (22:25:52): THREE BOLTS
Me (22:25:52): Rose towards Peter: 7/1. Peter towards Rose: 9/1
Widget (22:25:56): Heh
Rose (22:25:57): ...wow
Cait (22:25:57): lol
Rose (22:26:08): I guess his serious nice points let him accept almost anything
Me (22:26:13): Yes.
Katy (22:26:14): I'm giving SimKaty a stern lecture

"Splashy splashy."
Katy (22:26:58): TURN
Widget (22:26:59): Lol
Cait (22:26:59): snerk
Katy (22:27:00): AROUND
Rose (22:27:08): heh
Cait (22:27:09): way to goooo
Me (22:27:09): hahaha

"Look, are you going to pay attentio to me or what?"
Widget (22:28:18): Hahaha
Katy (22:28:19): *dies laughing*
Katy (22:28:25): He likes it when they play hard to get
Cait (22:28:26): lulzzz
Rose (22:28:33): haha
Katy (22:28:42): THERE IS A BOY ON THE LOT?!?!
Katy (22:28:44): IS IT STANLEY!?!?
Katy (22:28:46): NO??!?!
Peter meanwhile is erm, yes.

I think he's looking at the rain. Or something like that.
I've also brought Marina around from the pool, in the hopes that she will start to interact with someone.

"I know I'm out here for some reason..."
Widget (22:30:32): Lol
Cait (22:30:34): aww hahaha
Katy (22:30:39): The lot of us are functionally challenged
Rose (22:30:45): haha
Me (22:30:48): haha

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Roser (22:33:17): haha
Widget (22:33:20): LOL
Cait (22:33:25): haha
Katy (22:33:25): Okay clearly this means he likes me.
Katy (22:33:27): You must realize this
Rose (22:33:35): she seems to enjoy watching him too
Katy (22:35:13): This is more entertaining than an ACTUAL bachelor challenge
Rose then goes in with a high level kiss. Too high a level as it turns out.


She looks so disappointed. :(
Widget (22:35:21): Aww
Rose (22:35:25): Jess is totally hovering, too
Katy (22:35:28): Most of them seem way more interested in Peter
Cait (22:35:29): *snickers*
Rose (22:35:30): "maybe I can have a chance now!"
Jess was hovering, but she went in with a dirty joke. Not a good move.

De joins us in the chat at this point, and is quickly brought up to speed:
Me (22:37:48): Hi De
Cait (22:37:49): hiiiiiiiiiii
Lily (22:37:53): hi!
Katy (22:37:54): De!
Katy (22:37:57): You are in time for the festivities.
De (22:38:06): ooh festivities?
De (22:38:08): do we get fancy hats?
Me (22:38:08): No, Peter may have lots of nice poitns, but a dirty joke is not a good idea at this point.
Rose(22:38:20): no
Katy (22:38:21): Di shoved 6 of us in a house with Andrew and Peter
De (22:38:30): are you all attempting to woo them?
Rose (22:38:33): we are!
Widget (22:38:37): Sort of
Cait (22:38:38): im not there. im too busy guarding stanley with a metal bonnet
De (22:38:38): which six?
Katy (22:38:40): Currently everyone is swarming Peter except me, who is splashing in puddles and being stalked by Andrew.
Me (22:38:41): Aaaand Widget and Lily have finsihed playing and are now haeading over to Peter.
Lily (22:38:43): if by "attempting to woo" you mean "playing football with Widget"
Rose (22:38:45): it's Jess (Mzyra), Katy, Marina, Widget, Lily, and me
Widget (22:38:46): Yay!
Lily (22:38:48): yay!
De (22:38:50): what of meeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
Katy (22:38:51): And now Andrew is splashing with me.
Lily (22:38:54): maybe she's not hopeless!
Rose (22:38:56): Marina's ignoring them both
Rose (22:39:07): Katy and Andrew are sort of...exclusively ignoring each other
Katy (22:39:11): hahahahaha
Rose (22:39:12): Jess and I are stalking Peter
Katy (22:39:13): No we're playing.
Katy (22:39:17): WE'RE PLAYING ROSE
Rose (22:39:21): and Lily and Widget have been playing catch
Katy (22:39:21): IT'S A SPECIAL WAY OF BONDING
Rose (22:39:23): haha
Widget (22:39:27): hahaha
De (22:39:35): Marina is probably pining for me
Katy (22:39:37): MAYBE WE'RE JUST NERVOUS
Rose (22:39:44): Marina is totally pining for you
Widget and Lily finally finish playing and head over to Peter

Lily gets there first:

Rose (22:40:12): Peter's quite the focus
Lily (22:40:22): yay she's not (totally) hopeless :-)
Katy (22:40:24): Which is funny because Andrew is the one that looks like Stanley.
Katy (22:40:25): er
Cait (22:40:25): andrew is my favorite, i am disappoint
Katy (22:40:26): Theo
Katy (22:40:29): ONE TRACK MIND
Widget (22:40:32): Heh
Rose (22:40:33): yeah, Andrew looks like Theo
Lily (22:40:34): lol
Cait (22:40:51): *whap* i said i was guarding stanley with my metal bonnet, so. stick with andrew and you shall be safe
Lauri(22:40:58): LOL
Katy (22:41:02): I'm sticking in the vicinity of Andrew, yes.
Lily (22:41:04): lol
Jess decides to distract Lily, giving Widget the chance to get in an admire:


Widget (22:42:07): Go me! (again)
Katy (22:42:07): I see I've stopped splashing
Der (22:42:10): lol
Katy (22:42:12): And now am trying to stalk Andrew
Katy (22:42:15): Who is now splashing
Yes indeed, Andrew is now giving Katy a taste of her own medicine.


Me (22:43:11): She's trying to chat to him.
Widget (22:43:13): Aww
Katy (22:43:16): rofl
Rose (22:43:20): heh
Katy (22:43:20): The look on his face
Katy (22:43:24): This is our way of flirting
Rose (22:43:33): Katy and Andrew are totally explicitly ignoring each other
Lauri (22:43:35): lol
Rose (22:43:40): it's like five year olds who pull pigtails and run away
Me (22:43:47): haha
Katy (22:43:49): he pulls them because he likes me.
Lily (22:43:50): lol
Andrew finally stops splashing.

"So, you've finally decided to talk to me then?"
Katy (22:46:23): That's right Katy, snare him in a hang out.
Rose (22:46:33): haha, Di
Rose (22:46:52): good for Katy, though
Rose (22:47:06): she's smart to go after the one who's not got four girls going after him
Rose (22:47:15): (assuming Marina's still not caring)
Katy (22:47:36): This is funny because I thought I'd go for Peter
Me (22:47:55): Marina's stills tanding there
Katy (22:47:56): And that everyone else would go for Andrew
Katy (22:48:06): She's pining for De, we told you ;-)
Rose (22:48:12): heh
De (22:48:15): poor Marina :-(
Me (22:48:16): :-D
Cait (22:48:21): i still say marina's in love with rhys
Cait (22:48:25): youre all delusional
Cait (22:48:37): well
Cait (22:48:39): rhys AND de
Lauri (22:48:39): lol
De (22:48:40): D: you do not believe in our looooooove?
Me (22:48:44): Hehe
De (22:48:45): okay good that's better
Lily (22:48:47): lol
Cait (22:48:47): :-D
Rose (22:48:51): haha
Rose (22:48:57): that would be a screwed up threesome
De (22:49:05): hahahaha
Lauri (22:49:06): Actually Marina's pining for Isacc.
Cait (22:49:06): thats their specialty, dontchaknow
Katy (22:49:07): Poor Marina isn't here to see us all laughing at her
At this point, Widget tries to snare Peter in a game, but is interrupted by Rose.


Yes, Rose has learnt from last time, and gone in for a much lower level kiss.
Next, Jess decides to charm:

And Marina finally decides it's time she showed interest too:

Rose (22:52:14): ah, the low loevel flirt
Cait (22:52:29): AWWW shes not even into it
Cait (22:52:34): I WILL CHARM YOU BUT REALLY I WANT MY DEEEE
Lauri (22:52:35): Oh I love that hair ribbon!
De (22:52:36): :-( poor pining Marina
Cait (22:52:48): THIS IS ALL FOR SHOW I HOPE YOURE AWARE OF THAT.
Rose (22:52:51): haha
Me (22:52:59): hahaha
Cait (22:53:00): ALSO YOU HAVE PRETTY EYES. JUST SAYIN'
Me (22:53:06): lol
De (22:53:16): hahahaha
Lily then goes in for a higher level kiss with Peter and is accepted:

Meanwhile I've opened the buffet and a few sims go there to eat.

"yeah, I don't want to talk to you. it's your brother I'm interested in."

"well, will you talk to me?"

"I will, I will."
Katy (23:01:31): THAT'S RIGHT KATY, TAKE THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED

"So, music..." "Oh, music!"
Katy (23:03:12): Marina, this is an A B conversation
Katy (23:03:13): C YOUR WAY OUT
Katy (23:03:26): Haha, I'm funny
Lily starts to hedge her bets by going after Andrew too:

Lily (23:06:17): haha, probably not a bad idea
Widget (23:06:18): Oi, Me, stop lurking
Rose (23:06:19): heh
Katy (23:06:22): Get outta the waaay!
Lily (23:06:34): though consistency would probably be a better one
Rose (23:06:48): *nods*
Katy (23:08:26): If I've got one thing down it's definitely consistancy.
Katy (23:08:27): *sigh*
Katy (23:09:03): Come on Katy get back to work.
Andrew finally decides that he wants in the flirting lark:

Widget (23:10:34): ooooh!
Rose (23:10:38): oooh, simRose is still going after Peter
Katy (23:10:46): Sigh Katy what happened
Rose (23:10:47): and is that Katy heartfarting Peter?
Katy (23:10:49): You were doing so good.
Katy (23:10:50): -_-
Lily (23:10:54): there goes the consistency, Katy
Me (23:10:57): Yep,
Katy (23:10:58): Why didn't he flirt with ME
Katy (23:10:59): *stomp*
Rose (23:11:05): *petpet*
Widget (23:11:08): Aww
Widget (23:11:13): :-)
Me (23:11:16): He's congratulating you on being hot at the moment
Rose (23:11:20): haha
Katy (23:11:21): Oh, good.
Katy (23:11:24): Well, I try.
Katy (23:11:32): (I get too invested in these thigns)
Katy (23:11:34): *things

Proof of said congratulations. This was the first I saw, and at the time, it was cute. I would change my mind about that by the end of the second day.
Ok, at this point in the proceedings, I went to shower, and while I was away, Marina joined the box. Everyone soon told her what was going on.
Katy (23:34:48): Marina you missed the first part of the fuuun
Marina (23:34:50): ooooh
Marina (23:34:55): ...fun?
Rose (23:35:08): Di's doing a not quite BC with Andrew and Peter
Der (23:35:09): well not fun for your simself :-(
Lily (23:35:16): hi Marina
Katy (23:35:20): Marina I don't know how to put this
Rose (23:35:21): with you, me, Widget, Lily, Katy, and Jess (Mzyra)
Lily (23:35:22): she's pining for De
Katy (23:35:26): But I don't think you're aware men are in the house
Rose (23:35:35): thus far, Katy and Andrew have explicitly ignored each other
Marina (23:35:36): they're not married yet
Marina (23:35:37): that's why
De (23:35:43): LOL
Rose (23:35:45): and everyone else has decided to flirt with Peter
Katy (23:35:48): Hey, we stopped ignoring eachother
Rose (23:35:52): except for you, who is basically staring at the sky
Marina (23:36:12): of course
Katy (23:36:17): He congratulated me on being hot.
Widget (23:36:27): And Andrew flirted with me
Rose (23:36:38): SimRose is actively chasing Peter with kisses
Rose (23:36:46): and Lily creepy nice smiled at least once
Katy (23:36:50): Yes but we have had a deeper connectiong WIDGET
Lily (23:37:26): Lily's gotten a couple kisses; she's not completely hopeless. only a little bit hopeless.
Lily (23:38:04): not to imply that anyone else is.
Rose (23:38:12): heh
Marina (23:38:29): pretty sure mine is, but that's her loss
Katy (23:38:56): In true Marina fashion she did in fact try to butt in on me and Andrew's convo about Music
Rose (23:39:02): :-)
Katy (23:40:14): My simself needs to be shaken.
Once I got back and started playing again, Rose made her preference abundantly clear:

Rose (23:51:31): "no, I want your BROTHER!"
Marina (23:51:35): LOL
Me (23:51:39): hehe. Pretty much.
De (23:51:43): hahahaha
Me (23:52:11): I mean. maybe a brag wasn't the best thing for Andrew to do, but he's got to make the girsl pay attention to him somehow.
Lily (23:52:23): aww
Widget (23:52:37): aww
Rose (23:52:41): sorry :-(
While this is happening, Katy has managed to snare Peter in a hang out:

"I reckon that everyone else can pack teir bags when it comes to your brotehr. I mean, they're not even trying, they're chasing after you."
Rose (23:54:34): haha
De (23:54:38): lol
Katy (23:54:40): lol
Widget (23:54:40): Heh
Lily (23:54:44): lol
Rose (23:54:46): how are the relationships right now?
Katy (23:54:46): You're doing it wrong Katy
Me (23:55:35): Andrew: with Katy 40/4, Lily 7/4, Marina 7/4, Rose 4/3, Widgetr 5/1, Jess 0/0
Rose (23:55:44): whoa
Rose (23:55:51): clearly Katy's the most interested
Widget (23:55:56): *nods*
Me (23:56:44): Peter; Jess 56/18, Widget 31/16, Lily 34/11, Rose 33/10, Katy 2/4, Marina 3/4
Rose (23:56:50): interesting
Rose (23:57:01): all four of us are still in the running
Katy (23:57:01): *hugs Andrew*
Marina (23:57:03): poor Andrew LOL
De (23:57:08): awww
Rose (23:57:09): though I think Katy and Marina are not interested in him
Katy (23:57:11): Poor Andrew?!
Katy (23:57:13): He's got me.
Rose (23:57:24): silly Marina, is the real answer!
Marina (23:57:51): well if most of the house is after his brother that would have to be at least a bit discouraging for him
Marina (23:57:57): and yes, I know
De (23:59:28): maybe she is just appalled that she has to compete with anyone
It's true, if the house isn't talking about Peter, they are thinking about him or trying to stalk him:


Well, apart from Marina that is.

No Marina, stop cleaning, go talk to one of them.
Rose (23:59:36): heh
Widget (23:59:36): haha
De (23:59:41): "EXCUSE ME, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I AM TO BE HANDED A MAN OUTRIGHT, TYVM."
Rose (23:59:44): :-P
Marina (23:59:56): LOL
16 October 2010
Marina (00:00:03): more likely with her outgoing she's just scared
Rose (00:00:04): she's got the emperor of Rome, what more does she need?
Andrew decides to take some action over the lack of attention he's receiving and goes to chat to Widget, before pulling her into a hug:

"you'll pay attention to me, won't you?"
DireWidget (00:03:58): Aww
Lily (00:04:04): aww
Widget (00:04:05): And yes I will :-)
Marina (00:04:15): awww
Andrew's popularity starts to rise with Lily now talking to him too:

But Marina is still hanging back:

Oh Marina, don't just stand in the doorway.
Rose (00:11:51): heh
De (00:11:54): :-(
Widget (00:11:55): Heh
Rose (00:12:08): hrm, Peter's probably hanging out with Katy there, right?
Me (00:12:15): Yes
Rose (00:12:17): or simRose
De (00:12:22): question
Rose (00:12:24): ...which, where did simRose get to?
De (00:12:31): when Katy wins Peter, will she make him grow a beard?
Me (00:12:36): She's eating
Marina (00:12:37): HAHA
Me (00:12:40): lol
Rose (00:12:40): wb Katy
Katy (00:12:43): I am missing all the photos
Rose (00:12:44): well, food is important
Rose (00:12:50): and Katy's chasing Andrew, De, not Peter
Rose (00:12:53): just one, Katy
Katy (00:12:58): Show?
Marina (00:12:59): you only missed me being a loner
De (00:13:07): the beard was the most important part of that question so s'alright :P
Rose (00:13:14): :-P
Marina finally moves into the room and starts interacting with someone:

's better Marina, but perhaps interact with one of the boys?
Rose (00:13:58): heh
Widget (00:14:00): Heh
Rose (00:14:06): Lily doesn't seem to mind, at least
Katy (00:14:28): Kaaaty stop goofing with Peter, you're a lost cause on him
Katy (00:14:30): ANDREW IS FREE
De (00:14:47): maybe she's hoping to get them both
Katy (00:14:54): YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH KATY
Rose (00:15:00): haha
De (00:16:23): maybe she's taking a page out of simDe's playbook
Andrew makes his first friend in the form of Widget when he congratulates her on being hot:

Rose (00:20:02): interesting
Katy (00:20:04): How did I fall behind that fast?
Widget (00:20:06): :-D
Marina (00:20:14): you're hanging out with Peter
Katy (00:20:33): Great.
Me (00:20:57): Both of your backgrounds are going a lovely orange shade, and you're still sitting there.
Katy (00:21:41): Well, she can have fun losing then while I sit here and pout because my simself never gets to have any of the fun
Widget (00:21:46): aww
Rose (00:21:49): :-(
Lily (00:21:55): aww
Katy (00:22:27): Sorry.
Lily (00:22:34): no, I understand
Katy (00:22:56): Continue on with the lulz at my expense
Oo, Marina has decided it's time to share a joke with Andrew:

Marina (00:23:25): LOL nice
De (00:23:38): aww
Me (00:23:46): Aaand, the hanging out has finished
Not long after Katy and Peter finish talking, (and after she has seen to some needs), she makes a beeline to Andrew:

"I just want you to know, I may have spent hours hanging out with your brother, but you're hot too."
Rose (00:29:27): haha
Lily (00:29:31): haha
De (00:29:35): I'm telling you, she's aiming for a threesome
Widget (00:29:36): hahaha
Rose (00:29:40): hahaha, De
Katy (00:29:43): Haha, and I'm likely about to pass out.
De (00:29:45): I have threesomedar and it has been activated
De (00:29:53): :P
Me (00:29:54): And that nets another friend for Andrew
Katy (00:30:06): Those congratulates were the death of me
(Oh Katy, of only you knew).
Marina (00:30:09): I think your threesomedar has a really sensitive trigger
Katy (00:30:09): over and over and over
Katy (00:30:13): They get stuck in a congratulatory loop
Rose (00:30:30): well, yeah, her threesomedar DOES have a sensitive trigger, but it's sometimes right!
Lily (00:30:37): haha
The group start to wander out of the kitchen and do other things at this point:

"So I reckon, if we dance in here, the boys will come and join us."
Rose(00:32:39): heh
Marina (00:32:42): LOL
Rose (00:32:44): no, Marina, they won't
Widget (00:32:45): Lol
Katy (00:32:50): Okay.
Lily (00:32:51): aww, Widget looks sad
Marina (00:32:57): what's this no MARINA? maybe it was Widget's idea
Rose (00:33:00): haha
Rose (00:33:07): fine, fine
Rose (00:33:12): no, LADIES< they won't

"I'm not sure that's what'll happen, but I'm very excited I tried this music and dance activity."
Rose (00:33:22): heh
Katy (00:33:25): Hahahaha
Rose (00:33:31): Marina and Widget are smustling away from the boys, Katy
Rose (00:33:34): at least, I assume that's smustle
Katy (00:33:38): Yeah, that's a smustle
Me (00:33:50): No, just a normal solo dance
Rose (00:34:15): ohhhh
Dancing seems to give Marina some confidence and she goes in with a charm:

Marina's starting to get the hang of this now.
Rose (00:37:41): heh
Marina (00:37:44): yay!
Rose (00:37:47): she seems more interested in Andrew
Lily (00:38:12): :-)
Katy (00:38:54): Late on that, Marina.
Marina (00:39:00): I noticed
Katy (00:39:11): What is wrong with my simself? She has the most invested in this guy and three bolts and won't flirt.
Katy (00:39:50): Whatever Katy, you just do whatever.
Katy (00:40:02): HAVE FUN BEING A SPINSTER FOR ANOTHER GENERATION
Rose (00:40:08): aww
Katy (00:40:09): (threats seem to work on her)
Widget decides to seek out Peter and flirt with him again:

Katy (00:40:29): What am I doing, sleeping?
Widget (00:40:29): Yay
Rose (00:40:32): *nods*
Rose (00:40:41): anyone at all close to lvoe yet?
Lily (00:40:42): *pokes Lily again*
This was followed up with a romantic hug:

Katy (00:41:30): Not me clearly
Rose (00:41:39): *nods*
Widget (00:41:40): Yay :-)
Me (00:41:57): highest LTR is 22, so no. Not close to love yet
Widget (00:42:02): *nods*
Katy (00:42:03): No fair, Widget, you can't get snuggly with them both!
Rose (00:42:08): *nods*
Widget (00:42:14): :P
Katy (00:42:24): SimKaty is apparently just content to being friends with everyone.
No, no one was close to love yet, but the romantic hug did lead to the first crush, on Widget's part, but it wouldn't be long before Peter joined her:

This was where I put InSim back into me game and turned of jealousy. I didn't want boingy hearts.
Having both developed crushes, Widget and Peter now go and look at the stars, awww:

Katy meanwhile still thinks that Andrew's hot. She's just not doing anything about it.

With the sun up, Widget and Peter start to get rather stalkery:

Everyone else follows them outside and congratulating takes place:

Scores at twenty four hours in the house:
Me (01:05:10): Andrew towards Katy: 73/14, Widget 63/13, Lily 40/12, Marina 20/11, Rose 18/9, Jess 7/3
Katy (01:05:17): .. how did I get back ahead?!?
Katy (01:05:25): Or wait, is it from their POV?
Rose (01:05:33): their POV, I would assume
Rose (01:05:36): it's what really matters
Katy (01:05:46): Stop giving me a heartattack simKaty
Me (01:06:17): Peter: Widget 91/32, Jess 77/25, Rose 49/18, Lily 34/17, Katy 100/12, Marina 3/3
Katy (01:06:34): Widget is really going for the Gold Medal here isn't she?
Katy (01:06:39): .. 100?
Widget (01:06:43): I really am
Katy (01:06:45): I hung out WAY too long
RRSFeuer (01:06:48): interesting
ditzydizees (01:06:48): yep.
RRSFeuer (01:07:01): well, Widget has 3 bolts with both, doesn't she?
HurriKaty (01:07:07): Widget's got me WAY beat on LTW
HurriKaty (01:07:10): I know she does with Andrew
HurriKaty (01:07:15): Not sure about Peter
HurriKaty (01:07:25): I've got her barely beat on LTR on Andrew
Me (01:07:33): yes, 3 bolts with both
Lauri (01:07:44): Katy seems to want Andrew and has decided being friends with Peter is a good strategy.
Rose (01:07:50): *nods*
Widget (01:07:56): This is why I'm having to marry her off - she has 3 bolts with everyone!
Rose(01:08:11): heh
Lily (01:08:15): haha
Marina (01:08:21): and THAT is why I won't play with ACR
The buffet is restocked, and Andrew and Katy both head there:

Katy, the smiling would be better, if you were doing something to smile about.
She does nothing, and it's Marina who tells him another joke:

Peter grabs Widget for a make out:

Widget (01:19:02): :-)
Rose (01:19:08): nice
Katy (01:19:15): THATS NOT VERY VICTORIAN
And so, with Peter thinking about the make out:

And Widget being congratulated on it:

We come to the end of part one of my non-bc.
I hope you enjoyed it, more soon. :D
I have been doing simming things instead though, so it's not like I've neglected everything sim related. This week, I've been downloading stuff and working on the costumes for my Halloween shoot. Everyone now looks good, and I have to start work on the sets and thinking about what shots I want. I've also updated the family tree and Who's Who, and I've finished playing the unimportant houses in the rotation. I'm now at the point where I can start playing and filming for chapter 24.1, which is good.
I do however still need to make some recolours of pictures and sort out who Peter and Andrew are going to marry. This leads me to this post. You see, I had a few people mention that they wouldn't say no to their simselves meeting the boys, and so I created a family consisting of the boys and six simselves. I then plonked them on a lot in my challenge hood to see who would choose who. It's a non-BC if you will.
The ladies:
Jess (Mzyra), Katy (Hurrikaty), Lily (Cobaltazure), Marina (Smoothiequeen87), Rose (Rosefyre), Widget (Widget).
The rules (such as they are):
The sims were placed on the lot and their relationships zeroed out, the girls' with Andrew and Peter, the boys with each of the girls.
Turn ons for the boys were set at make up and unemployed, for the girls fitness and unemployed.
Each boy did a low level flirt (check out) with a random girl to set their gender preference. Each girl did a low level flirt (also check out) on each boy.
Sims are left on free will, and no interaction is cancelled out. The exception is using move here to get everyone out of the bathroom or similar, and stocking up the buffet.
I'm topping up their energy and comfort levels, and keeping fun within a comfortable range. I'm also topping up bladder if a sim can't get to a toilet, because the way is blocked. The only time I'm not topping up fun, comfort etc is, if a sim is engaged in an activity which they won't easily drop, eg hang out or splash. The reason being, I'm leaving them to decide when to stop doing that activity.
I've used InSim to turn jealousy off on the lot.
The pictures won't be up to my usual spec: there will be plumbbobs and thought bubbles etc.
Part one is brought to with extra comments by group chat.
Part one.
Day one started innocently enough with Marina and Andrew pillow fighting:

And Lily talking to Peter:

And then despite Marina and Lily comendeering Andrew and peter's attention at first, Widget has gone in with the first flirt.
Widget (22:13:21): Go me!
Rose (22:13:29): heh

this is with their relationship at 4/0
Lily decides that she doesn't like this, and distracts Widget with a game of catch:

What is Andrew doing at this time?
Poor Andrew is standing there, waiting to talk to Lily

Widget (22:17:22): aww
Rose (22:17:30): haha
Me (22:18:06): Oo, now rose has decided to up her game
Rose (22:18:12): ooooh

Rose (22:18:35): haha
Shortly after this, Jess made her move:

Rose (22:19:53): ...is anyone going after Andrew?
Rose (22:19:56): we all seem to want Peter!
Me (22:20:38): Marina pillow fought with him, but everyone seems to be after Peter with his 10 nice points.
Widget (22:20:43): Heh
Rose (22:20:49): haha
Me (22:21:16): Katy is splashing in a puddle and I caught Marina turning on the stereo
Rose (22:21:50): haha
Widget (22:21:55): Haha
Katy (22:24:51): -_-
Katy (22:24:56): Way to go me
Katy (22:25:01): You're going to die a lonely old spinster
Widget (22:25:04): aww
Rose (22:25:04): awww
Rose (22:25:12): she's got Stanley, though!
Rose (22:25:20): ...well, as much as any one woman has Stanley
It's true. Katy was splashing in a puddle:

While Marina had turned the stereo on, and then went to have a swim:

I deleted the diving board and steps soon after, as well as getting rid of the piano. I didn't want the sims getting tied up with activities that weren't group ones.
Next comes more proof that some sims are very serious about winning one of the boys:

Rose (22:25:26): hahaha
Rose (22:25:28): go simRose!
Widget (22:25:29): Lol
Katy (22:25:41): Come on Katy, Andrew is free.. maybe
Katy (22:25:51): 3 bolts, you
Katy (22:25:52): THREE BOLTS
Me (22:25:52): Rose towards Peter: 7/1. Peter towards Rose: 9/1
Widget (22:25:56): Heh
Rose (22:25:57): ...wow
Cait (22:25:57): lol
Rose (22:26:08): I guess his serious nice points let him accept almost anything
Me (22:26:13): Yes.
Katy (22:26:14): I'm giving SimKaty a stern lecture

"Splashy splashy."
Katy (22:26:58): TURN
Widget (22:26:59): Lol
Cait (22:26:59): snerk
Katy (22:27:00): AROUND
Rose (22:27:08): heh
Cait (22:27:09): way to goooo
Me (22:27:09): hahaha

"Look, are you going to pay attentio to me or what?"
Widget (22:28:18): Hahaha
Katy (22:28:19): *dies laughing*
Katy (22:28:25): He likes it when they play hard to get
Cait (22:28:26): lulzzz
Rose (22:28:33): haha
Katy (22:28:42): THERE IS A BOY ON THE LOT?!?!
Katy (22:28:44): IS IT STANLEY!?!?
Katy (22:28:46): NO??!?!
Peter meanwhile is erm, yes.

I think he's looking at the rain. Or something like that.
I've also brought Marina around from the pool, in the hopes that she will start to interact with someone.

"I know I'm out here for some reason..."
Widget (22:30:32): Lol
Cait (22:30:34): aww hahaha
Katy (22:30:39): The lot of us are functionally challenged
Rose (22:30:45): haha
Me (22:30:48): haha

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Roser (22:33:17): haha
Widget (22:33:20): LOL
Cait (22:33:25): haha
Katy (22:33:25): Okay clearly this means he likes me.
Katy (22:33:27): You must realize this
Rose (22:33:35): she seems to enjoy watching him too
Katy (22:35:13): This is more entertaining than an ACTUAL bachelor challenge
Rose then goes in with a high level kiss. Too high a level as it turns out.


She looks so disappointed. :(
Widget (22:35:21): Aww
Rose (22:35:25): Jess is totally hovering, too
Katy (22:35:28): Most of them seem way more interested in Peter
Cait (22:35:29): *snickers*
Rose (22:35:30): "maybe I can have a chance now!"
Jess was hovering, but she went in with a dirty joke. Not a good move.

De joins us in the chat at this point, and is quickly brought up to speed:
Me (22:37:48): Hi De
Cait (22:37:49): hiiiiiiiiiii
Lily (22:37:53): hi!
Katy (22:37:54): De!
Katy (22:37:57): You are in time for the festivities.
De (22:38:06): ooh festivities?
De (22:38:08): do we get fancy hats?
Me (22:38:08): No, Peter may have lots of nice poitns, but a dirty joke is not a good idea at this point.
Rose(22:38:20): no
Katy (22:38:21): Di shoved 6 of us in a house with Andrew and Peter
De (22:38:30): are you all attempting to woo them?
Rose (22:38:33): we are!
Widget (22:38:37): Sort of
Cait (22:38:38): im not there. im too busy guarding stanley with a metal bonnet
De (22:38:38): which six?
Katy (22:38:40): Currently everyone is swarming Peter except me, who is splashing in puddles and being stalked by Andrew.
Me (22:38:41): Aaaand Widget and Lily have finsihed playing and are now haeading over to Peter.
Lily (22:38:43): if by "attempting to woo" you mean "playing football with Widget"
Rose (22:38:45): it's Jess (Mzyra), Katy, Marina, Widget, Lily, and me
Widget (22:38:46): Yay!
Lily (22:38:48): yay!
De (22:38:50): what of meeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
Katy (22:38:51): And now Andrew is splashing with me.
Lily (22:38:54): maybe she's not hopeless!
Rose (22:38:56): Marina's ignoring them both
Rose (22:39:07): Katy and Andrew are sort of...exclusively ignoring each other
Katy (22:39:11): hahahahaha
Rose (22:39:12): Jess and I are stalking Peter
Katy (22:39:13): No we're playing.
Katy (22:39:17): WE'RE PLAYING ROSE
Rose (22:39:21): and Lily and Widget have been playing catch
Katy (22:39:21): IT'S A SPECIAL WAY OF BONDING
Rose (22:39:23): haha
Widget (22:39:27): hahaha
De (22:39:35): Marina is probably pining for me
Katy (22:39:37): MAYBE WE'RE JUST NERVOUS
Rose (22:39:44): Marina is totally pining for you
Widget and Lily finally finish playing and head over to Peter

Lily gets there first:

Rose (22:40:12): Peter's quite the focus
Lily (22:40:22): yay she's not (totally) hopeless :-)
Katy (22:40:24): Which is funny because Andrew is the one that looks like Stanley.
Katy (22:40:25): er
Cait (22:40:25): andrew is my favorite, i am disappoint
Katy (22:40:26): Theo
Katy (22:40:29): ONE TRACK MIND
Widget (22:40:32): Heh
Rose (22:40:33): yeah, Andrew looks like Theo
Lily (22:40:34): lol
Cait (22:40:51): *whap* i said i was guarding stanley with my metal bonnet, so. stick with andrew and you shall be safe
Lauri(22:40:58): LOL
Katy (22:41:02): I'm sticking in the vicinity of Andrew, yes.
Lily (22:41:04): lol
Jess decides to distract Lily, giving Widget the chance to get in an admire:


Widget (22:42:07): Go me! (again)
Katy (22:42:07): I see I've stopped splashing
Der (22:42:10): lol
Katy (22:42:12): And now am trying to stalk Andrew
Katy (22:42:15): Who is now splashing
Yes indeed, Andrew is now giving Katy a taste of her own medicine.


Me (22:43:11): She's trying to chat to him.
Widget (22:43:13): Aww
Katy (22:43:16): rofl
Rose (22:43:20): heh
Katy (22:43:20): The look on his face
Katy (22:43:24): This is our way of flirting
Rose (22:43:33): Katy and Andrew are totally explicitly ignoring each other
Lauri (22:43:35): lol
Rose (22:43:40): it's like five year olds who pull pigtails and run away
Me (22:43:47): haha
Katy (22:43:49): he pulls them because he likes me.
Lily (22:43:50): lol
Andrew finally stops splashing.

"So, you've finally decided to talk to me then?"
Katy (22:46:23): That's right Katy, snare him in a hang out.
Rose (22:46:33): haha, Di
Rose (22:46:52): good for Katy, though
Rose (22:47:06): she's smart to go after the one who's not got four girls going after him
Rose (22:47:15): (assuming Marina's still not caring)
Katy (22:47:36): This is funny because I thought I'd go for Peter
Me (22:47:55): Marina's stills tanding there
Katy (22:47:56): And that everyone else would go for Andrew
Katy (22:48:06): She's pining for De, we told you ;-)
Rose (22:48:12): heh
De (22:48:15): poor Marina :-(
Me (22:48:16): :-D
Cait (22:48:21): i still say marina's in love with rhys
Cait (22:48:25): youre all delusional
Cait (22:48:37): well
Cait (22:48:39): rhys AND de
Lauri (22:48:39): lol
De (22:48:40): D: you do not believe in our looooooove?
Me (22:48:44): Hehe
De (22:48:45): okay good that's better
Lily (22:48:47): lol
Cait (22:48:47): :-D
Rose (22:48:51): haha
Rose (22:48:57): that would be a screwed up threesome
De (22:49:05): hahahaha
Lauri (22:49:06): Actually Marina's pining for Isacc.
Cait (22:49:06): thats their specialty, dontchaknow
Katy (22:49:07): Poor Marina isn't here to see us all laughing at her
At this point, Widget tries to snare Peter in a game, but is interrupted by Rose.


Yes, Rose has learnt from last time, and gone in for a much lower level kiss.
Next, Jess decides to charm:

And Marina finally decides it's time she showed interest too:

Rose (22:52:14): ah, the low loevel flirt
Cait (22:52:29): AWWW shes not even into it
Cait (22:52:34): I WILL CHARM YOU BUT REALLY I WANT MY DEEEE
Lauri (22:52:35): Oh I love that hair ribbon!
De (22:52:36): :-( poor pining Marina
Cait (22:52:48): THIS IS ALL FOR SHOW I HOPE YOURE AWARE OF THAT.
Rose (22:52:51): haha
Me (22:52:59): hahaha
Cait (22:53:00): ALSO YOU HAVE PRETTY EYES. JUST SAYIN'
Me (22:53:06): lol
De (22:53:16): hahahaha
Lily then goes in for a higher level kiss with Peter and is accepted:

Meanwhile I've opened the buffet and a few sims go there to eat.

"yeah, I don't want to talk to you. it's your brother I'm interested in."

"well, will you talk to me?"

"I will, I will."
Katy (23:01:31): THAT'S RIGHT KATY, TAKE THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED

"So, music..." "Oh, music!"
Katy (23:03:12): Marina, this is an A B conversation
Katy (23:03:13): C YOUR WAY OUT
Katy (23:03:26): Haha, I'm funny
Lily starts to hedge her bets by going after Andrew too:

Lily (23:06:17): haha, probably not a bad idea
Widget (23:06:18): Oi, Me, stop lurking
Rose (23:06:19): heh
Katy (23:06:22): Get outta the waaay!
Lily (23:06:34): though consistency would probably be a better one
Rose (23:06:48): *nods*
Katy (23:08:26): If I've got one thing down it's definitely consistancy.
Katy (23:08:27): *sigh*
Katy (23:09:03): Come on Katy get back to work.
Andrew finally decides that he wants in the flirting lark:

Widget (23:10:34): ooooh!
Rose (23:10:38): oooh, simRose is still going after Peter
Katy (23:10:46): Sigh Katy what happened
Rose (23:10:47): and is that Katy heartfarting Peter?
Katy (23:10:49): You were doing so good.
Katy (23:10:50): -_-
Lily (23:10:54): there goes the consistency, Katy
Me (23:10:57): Yep,
Katy (23:10:58): Why didn't he flirt with ME
Katy (23:10:59): *stomp*
Rose (23:11:05): *petpet*
Widget (23:11:08): Aww
Widget (23:11:13): :-)
Me (23:11:16): He's congratulating you on being hot at the moment
Rose (23:11:20): haha
Katy (23:11:21): Oh, good.
Katy (23:11:24): Well, I try.
Katy (23:11:32): (I get too invested in these thigns)
Katy (23:11:34): *things

Proof of said congratulations. This was the first I saw, and at the time, it was cute. I would change my mind about that by the end of the second day.
Ok, at this point in the proceedings, I went to shower, and while I was away, Marina joined the box. Everyone soon told her what was going on.
Katy (23:34:48): Marina you missed the first part of the fuuun
Marina (23:34:50): ooooh
Marina (23:34:55): ...fun?
Rose (23:35:08): Di's doing a not quite BC with Andrew and Peter
Der (23:35:09): well not fun for your simself :-(
Lily (23:35:16): hi Marina
Katy (23:35:20): Marina I don't know how to put this
Rose (23:35:21): with you, me, Widget, Lily, Katy, and Jess (Mzyra)
Lily (23:35:22): she's pining for De
Katy (23:35:26): But I don't think you're aware men are in the house
Rose (23:35:35): thus far, Katy and Andrew have explicitly ignored each other
Marina (23:35:36): they're not married yet
Marina (23:35:37): that's why
De (23:35:43): LOL
Rose (23:35:45): and everyone else has decided to flirt with Peter
Katy (23:35:48): Hey, we stopped ignoring eachother
Rose (23:35:52): except for you, who is basically staring at the sky
Marina (23:36:12): of course
Katy (23:36:17): He congratulated me on being hot.
Widget (23:36:27): And Andrew flirted with me
Rose (23:36:38): SimRose is actively chasing Peter with kisses
Rose (23:36:46): and Lily creepy nice smiled at least once
Katy (23:36:50): Yes but we have had a deeper connectiong WIDGET
Lily (23:37:26): Lily's gotten a couple kisses; she's not completely hopeless. only a little bit hopeless.
Lily (23:38:04): not to imply that anyone else is.
Rose (23:38:12): heh
Marina (23:38:29): pretty sure mine is, but that's her loss
Katy (23:38:56): In true Marina fashion she did in fact try to butt in on me and Andrew's convo about Music
Rose (23:39:02): :-)
Katy (23:40:14): My simself needs to be shaken.
Once I got back and started playing again, Rose made her preference abundantly clear:

Rose (23:51:31): "no, I want your BROTHER!"
Marina (23:51:35): LOL
Me (23:51:39): hehe. Pretty much.
De (23:51:43): hahahaha
Me (23:52:11): I mean. maybe a brag wasn't the best thing for Andrew to do, but he's got to make the girsl pay attention to him somehow.
Lily (23:52:23): aww
Widget (23:52:37): aww
Rose (23:52:41): sorry :-(
While this is happening, Katy has managed to snare Peter in a hang out:

"I reckon that everyone else can pack teir bags when it comes to your brotehr. I mean, they're not even trying, they're chasing after you."
Rose (23:54:34): haha
De (23:54:38): lol
Katy (23:54:40): lol
Widget (23:54:40): Heh
Lily (23:54:44): lol
Rose (23:54:46): how are the relationships right now?
Katy (23:54:46): You're doing it wrong Katy
Me (23:55:35): Andrew: with Katy 40/4, Lily 7/4, Marina 7/4, Rose 4/3, Widgetr 5/1, Jess 0/0
Rose (23:55:44): whoa
Rose (23:55:51): clearly Katy's the most interested
Widget (23:55:56): *nods*
Me (23:56:44): Peter; Jess 56/18, Widget 31/16, Lily 34/11, Rose 33/10, Katy 2/4, Marina 3/4
Rose (23:56:50): interesting
Rose (23:57:01): all four of us are still in the running
Katy (23:57:01): *hugs Andrew*
Marina (23:57:03): poor Andrew LOL
De (23:57:08): awww
Rose (23:57:09): though I think Katy and Marina are not interested in him
Katy (23:57:11): Poor Andrew?!
Katy (23:57:13): He's got me.
Rose (23:57:24): silly Marina, is the real answer!
Marina (23:57:51): well if most of the house is after his brother that would have to be at least a bit discouraging for him
Marina (23:57:57): and yes, I know
De (23:59:28): maybe she is just appalled that she has to compete with anyone
It's true, if the house isn't talking about Peter, they are thinking about him or trying to stalk him:


Well, apart from Marina that is.

No Marina, stop cleaning, go talk to one of them.
Rose (23:59:36): heh
Widget (23:59:36): haha
De (23:59:41): "EXCUSE ME, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I AM TO BE HANDED A MAN OUTRIGHT, TYVM."
Rose (23:59:44): :-P
Marina (23:59:56): LOL
16 October 2010
Marina (00:00:03): more likely with her outgoing she's just scared
Rose (00:00:04): she's got the emperor of Rome, what more does she need?
Andrew decides to take some action over the lack of attention he's receiving and goes to chat to Widget, before pulling her into a hug:

"you'll pay attention to me, won't you?"
DireWidget (00:03:58): Aww
Lily (00:04:04): aww
Widget (00:04:05): And yes I will :-)
Marina (00:04:15): awww
Andrew's popularity starts to rise with Lily now talking to him too:

But Marina is still hanging back:

Oh Marina, don't just stand in the doorway.
Rose (00:11:51): heh
De (00:11:54): :-(
Widget (00:11:55): Heh
Rose (00:12:08): hrm, Peter's probably hanging out with Katy there, right?
Me (00:12:15): Yes
Rose (00:12:17): or simRose
De (00:12:22): question
Rose (00:12:24): ...which, where did simRose get to?
De (00:12:31): when Katy wins Peter, will she make him grow a beard?
Me (00:12:36): She's eating
Marina (00:12:37): HAHA
Me (00:12:40): lol
Rose (00:12:40): wb Katy
Katy (00:12:43): I am missing all the photos
Rose (00:12:44): well, food is important
Rose (00:12:50): and Katy's chasing Andrew, De, not Peter
Rose (00:12:53): just one, Katy
Katy (00:12:58): Show?
Marina (00:12:59): you only missed me being a loner
De (00:13:07): the beard was the most important part of that question so s'alright :P
Rose (00:13:14): :-P
Marina finally moves into the room and starts interacting with someone:

's better Marina, but perhaps interact with one of the boys?
Rose (00:13:58): heh
Widget (00:14:00): Heh
Rose (00:14:06): Lily doesn't seem to mind, at least
Katy (00:14:28): Kaaaty stop goofing with Peter, you're a lost cause on him
Katy (00:14:30): ANDREW IS FREE
De (00:14:47): maybe she's hoping to get them both
Katy (00:14:54): YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH KATY
Rose (00:15:00): haha
De (00:16:23): maybe she's taking a page out of simDe's playbook
Andrew makes his first friend in the form of Widget when he congratulates her on being hot:

Rose (00:20:02): interesting
Katy (00:20:04): How did I fall behind that fast?
Widget (00:20:06): :-D
Marina (00:20:14): you're hanging out with Peter
Katy (00:20:33): Great.
Me (00:20:57): Both of your backgrounds are going a lovely orange shade, and you're still sitting there.
Katy (00:21:41): Well, she can have fun losing then while I sit here and pout because my simself never gets to have any of the fun
Widget (00:21:46): aww
Rose (00:21:49): :-(
Lily (00:21:55): aww
Katy (00:22:27): Sorry.
Lily (00:22:34): no, I understand
Katy (00:22:56): Continue on with the lulz at my expense
Oo, Marina has decided it's time to share a joke with Andrew:

Marina (00:23:25): LOL nice
De (00:23:38): aww
Me (00:23:46): Aaand, the hanging out has finished
Not long after Katy and Peter finish talking, (and after she has seen to some needs), she makes a beeline to Andrew:

"I just want you to know, I may have spent hours hanging out with your brother, but you're hot too."
Rose (00:29:27): haha
Lily (00:29:31): haha
De (00:29:35): I'm telling you, she's aiming for a threesome
Widget (00:29:36): hahaha
Rose (00:29:40): hahaha, De
Katy (00:29:43): Haha, and I'm likely about to pass out.
De (00:29:45): I have threesomedar and it has been activated
De (00:29:53): :P
Me (00:29:54): And that nets another friend for Andrew
Katy (00:30:06): Those congratulates were the death of me
(Oh Katy, of only you knew).
Marina (00:30:09): I think your threesomedar has a really sensitive trigger
Katy (00:30:09): over and over and over
Katy (00:30:13): They get stuck in a congratulatory loop
Rose (00:30:30): well, yeah, her threesomedar DOES have a sensitive trigger, but it's sometimes right!
Lily (00:30:37): haha
The group start to wander out of the kitchen and do other things at this point:

"So I reckon, if we dance in here, the boys will come and join us."
Rose(00:32:39): heh
Marina (00:32:42): LOL
Rose (00:32:44): no, Marina, they won't
Widget (00:32:45): Lol
Katy (00:32:50): Okay.
Lily (00:32:51): aww, Widget looks sad
Marina (00:32:57): what's this no MARINA? maybe it was Widget's idea
Rose (00:33:00): haha
Rose (00:33:07): fine, fine
Rose (00:33:12): no, LADIES< they won't

"I'm not sure that's what'll happen, but I'm very excited I tried this music and dance activity."
Rose (00:33:22): heh
Katy (00:33:25): Hahahaha
Rose (00:33:31): Marina and Widget are smustling away from the boys, Katy
Rose (00:33:34): at least, I assume that's smustle
Katy (00:33:38): Yeah, that's a smustle
Me (00:33:50): No, just a normal solo dance
Rose (00:34:15): ohhhh
Dancing seems to give Marina some confidence and she goes in with a charm:

Marina's starting to get the hang of this now.
Rose (00:37:41): heh
Marina (00:37:44): yay!
Rose (00:37:47): she seems more interested in Andrew
Lily (00:38:12): :-)
Katy (00:38:54): Late on that, Marina.
Marina (00:39:00): I noticed
Katy (00:39:11): What is wrong with my simself? She has the most invested in this guy and three bolts and won't flirt.
Katy (00:39:50): Whatever Katy, you just do whatever.
Katy (00:40:02): HAVE FUN BEING A SPINSTER FOR ANOTHER GENERATION
Rose (00:40:08): aww
Katy (00:40:09): (threats seem to work on her)
Widget decides to seek out Peter and flirt with him again:

Katy (00:40:29): What am I doing, sleeping?
Widget (00:40:29): Yay
Rose (00:40:32): *nods*
Rose (00:40:41): anyone at all close to lvoe yet?
Lily (00:40:42): *pokes Lily again*
This was followed up with a romantic hug:

Katy (00:41:30): Not me clearly
Rose (00:41:39): *nods*
Widget (00:41:40): Yay :-)
Me (00:41:57): highest LTR is 22, so no. Not close to love yet
Widget (00:42:02): *nods*
Katy (00:42:03): No fair, Widget, you can't get snuggly with them both!
Rose (00:42:08): *nods*
Widget (00:42:14): :P
Katy (00:42:24): SimKaty is apparently just content to being friends with everyone.
No, no one was close to love yet, but the romantic hug did lead to the first crush, on Widget's part, but it wouldn't be long before Peter joined her:

This was where I put InSim back into me game and turned of jealousy. I didn't want boingy hearts.
Having both developed crushes, Widget and Peter now go and look at the stars, awww:

Katy meanwhile still thinks that Andrew's hot. She's just not doing anything about it.

With the sun up, Widget and Peter start to get rather stalkery:

Everyone else follows them outside and congratulating takes place:

Scores at twenty four hours in the house:
Me (01:05:10): Andrew towards Katy: 73/14, Widget 63/13, Lily 40/12, Marina 20/11, Rose 18/9, Jess 7/3
Katy (01:05:17): .. how did I get back ahead?!?
Katy (01:05:25): Or wait, is it from their POV?
Rose (01:05:33): their POV, I would assume
Rose (01:05:36): it's what really matters
Katy (01:05:46): Stop giving me a heartattack simKaty
Me (01:06:17): Peter: Widget 91/32, Jess 77/25, Rose 49/18, Lily 34/17, Katy 100/12, Marina 3/3
Katy (01:06:34): Widget is really going for the Gold Medal here isn't she?
Katy (01:06:39): .. 100?
Widget (01:06:43): I really am
Katy (01:06:45): I hung out WAY too long
RRSFeuer (01:06:48): interesting
ditzydizees (01:06:48): yep.
RRSFeuer (01:07:01): well, Widget has 3 bolts with both, doesn't she?
HurriKaty (01:07:07): Widget's got me WAY beat on LTW
HurriKaty (01:07:10): I know she does with Andrew
HurriKaty (01:07:15): Not sure about Peter
HurriKaty (01:07:25): I've got her barely beat on LTR on Andrew
Me (01:07:33): yes, 3 bolts with both
Lauri (01:07:44): Katy seems to want Andrew and has decided being friends with Peter is a good strategy.
Rose (01:07:50): *nods*
Widget (01:07:56): This is why I'm having to marry her off - she has 3 bolts with everyone!
Rose(01:08:11): heh
Lily (01:08:15): haha
Marina (01:08:21): and THAT is why I won't play with ACR
The buffet is restocked, and Andrew and Katy both head there:

Katy, the smiling would be better, if you were doing something to smile about.
She does nothing, and it's Marina who tells him another joke:

Peter grabs Widget for a make out:

Widget (01:19:02): :-)
Rose (01:19:08): nice
Katy (01:19:15): THATS NOT VERY VICTORIAN
And so, with Peter thinking about the make out:

And Widget being congratulated on it:

We come to the end of part one of my non-bc.
I hope you enjoyed it, more soon. :D
