My second day in the huge world of The Sims Online was something not very short of unique. I visited many places, and made at least four new friends. What bugged me though, was the fact that because my roomies had added me to their friend web, and I hadn't added them to mine, I had to manually put their names into the address bar of my Instant Messages to them. I told myself to remember to add them to my web, but I forgot, and didn't get around to it.
But let's focus on the three most interesting parts of the game today, shall we? The first part was my archetectural skills. I got the go ahead from the two of my roomies who were online today, the only ones. Their names are Revamped, the owner of the lot, and yvonne, his soon to be wife in real life. I'll get back on the wedding thing in best part #2. My other roomies are janelled, yvonne's real-life sister, and abba, whom I have yet to meet.
Anyway, after the go ahead from Revamped and yvonne, plus some much-needed cash, I started. On the upper-floor level of the house, there's three huge rooms. Farthest left is the library, then a room not really used for anything, and above that, a smaller, yet still big, room designated as the dance/game room (earlier I added a scoreboard, and some ball game with holes in the floor u put the balls in). The library was very large, the largest of all, and what did I do? I cut it in half. I designated it as the office for the owner and roommates, and put a door with a star in both the remaining section of the library, and the dance/game room. I set the restrictions to roommates only on both doors, and put star rugs outside each door, along with a neon message board which read, "Office for owner and roomies only. No admittance otherwise."
Inside the room, I pasted some walpaper like the one in the library onto the new wall and added a filing cabinet. Next to that, a desk, office chair (wooden one, not computer chair), and a computer on the desk. About in the center of the left side of the room, I put a podium one space from the wall, space for the speaking Sim. one space after that, a slim table with four computer chairs around it. I thought of putting a big comfy chair at the head, facing th podium, but I didn't have 3,000 Simoleans. In fact, I was almost broke, but had enough cash to put signs around the house, and wrote, "Library" on one, "Pool Area" on another, and "Dance/Game Room" on the last one. I also moved this advernture game Revamped and yvonne had just finished playing in the dance/game room, and the telemarketing equipment (including a table, two telemarketing machines, two computer chairs, and a standing light) went to the new office. And the library got a fireplace and two new bookshelves. Oh, and I put a sign in the kitchen for my roomies to read and consider: putting in a cafe.
That was my first good thing about the day. The second thing was- Revamped had his Sim propose to yvonne! It was the first proposal I had ever seen in The Sims! It was so amazing, I had my Sim standing there so long they asked if I was still there. It was really the best part of my day, and I hope that my Sim can be happy with another Sim someday.
The third and last good thing was my afternoon. I leveled up my logic to four, and my charisma to one (haha, telemarketing must not be my thing!). And then I spent some time over at another skill place, it was one of my friend's whom I had met the other day. I can't remember her name, or her place name, but they'll be in tomorrow's update for sure. Also, after I was done with the office, Revamped and yvonne bought a Logic Machine. I don't knwo the official name. Everybody just calls it "logic", or "a game of logic, anyone?", etc.
So I'm becomming even more of a Sims nut than I was before. I can truthfully say, "I love TSO!!" And, if you happen to live in Alphaville, check out Skills + Skills, my home, my roomie's home, and your home (if you choose), and the place where you can get your skills up there!
