Well do I look happy? I have been hanging out in the TSR computer for some 67 Sim years with no problems at all. Now all of a sudden someone decided I would make a good beginner Challenge.

Well do I look happy? I have been hanging out in the TSR computer for some 67 Sim years with no problems at all. Now all of a sudden someone decided I would make a good beginner Challenge. What is a TSR Challenge? Apparently some Humans at The Sims Resource thought this would not only be a challenge for us Sims who have been living out our lives and minding our own business, but for you Humans that own computers as well. Humans, boy I tell you I'm start'n to feel a little put out by the whole bunch of you. Then again I kind of feel sorry for you too. Being all fleshy must be a terrible thing to live with. Holy Crow! You Humans are just plain huge and never seem to age like us. I guess that's why you are always sticking your noses into our tiny lives, something to do. Well right now I am in Little Seer's computer. I'm getting me a computer and checking out the challenge. The Sonny Day Challenge....getting old....well of course I'm getting old but I'm not a gonner yet! Max interest in health...get at least one logic point...become a test subject...see vermin? What the heck's vermin? Hmmm, you can use cheats....could cause problems...motherlode cheat. I will have to try that out. This place is barely above being a hovel, well except for my new bedroom here. Thanks for that Seer. I could really use a painting on this wall over the computer though. Pretty quick with the painting Little Seer, thanks that looks better. Now, type in motherlode....50,000 simoleons hee hee, type in motherlode again... well maybe just one more time! Woo Hoo, I feel a happy dance coming on. Now I can do some home renovations. As TSR said, "Sonny is getting older" well yes I am and I like my comfort. Email from Little Seer: Dear Sunny, I thought you would like to make decisions on your own so when you accepted the challenge I used the option to make you a creature of free will. Cheers, Little Seer A creature of free will aye, hmmmm, I decided to visit my new bathroom. One of those problems with age, I seem to spend more and more time in here. Excuse me. I looked in the Maxis Catalogue. Yuck, you'd think Humans were color blind. I couldn't put one decent room of furniture together that matched. How sad is that? It surely was lucky that when I was at TSR checking out my challenge I happened to find a huge catalogue with lots of options. The Designers in that place are excellent. You know they give you free delivery too! It's amazing! Time for a quick bit of dinner in my new kitchen. Now that I am a creature of free will I think I would like more education than The Sims Resource said I needed. It couldn't hurt me none, could it? Mmmm spaghetti. I believe I'm a pretty darn good cook. Well how do you think the kitchen turned out? I like the the smell of everything being brand new. There is one thing that keeps bothering me though. A greenish glow seems to be following me, kinda creepy. I swear I can see it shining off my dinner plate. Now that the dinner dishes are done it's back to the bathroom for me. I don't know what part of the challenge to do first. Aw well enough for today I think I'll sleep on it. Would you take a gander at this! While I'm sleeping Little Seer took a picture of some critter digging up my yard. Sheesh don't you think she could have done something about it instead of just letting it happen. What if a Sim was in danger, would she have kept on snapping pictures? An email for me from Little Seer:
Dear Sonny, The Sim World you have been placed in is Veronaville where intrigue abounds. I hope you make lots of new friends but beware, sometimes Sims are not what they seem. Cheers, Little Seer
Intrigue? Where is that on-line dictionary...intrigue..excite the interest or curiosity ... an underhanded plot. Holy crow what has she gotten me into placing me here! Ugh I just don't know what to think of all this, I feel a little ill. I swear my skin even has a yellowish cast to it. I need some fresh air.
Time to pay my bills. Those motherlode simoleons are coming in handy. I love this mail box cover I found in TSR from Windkeeper. Well hi there. Would you mind chatting with me for a bit. I'm feeling a little off and need to socialize. It's nice to meet you Teddy Larson. My name is Sonny Day. I was named by a human at TSR, obviously and old hippy, at least I the person didn't name me Stinky Butt or something worse. Groceries are getting too darn expensive you say...well if you have a computer I can tell you this cheat that will give you 50, 000 simoleons!!! My goodness don't you look smashing. Your name is Isabella Larson...I believe I just met your husband a few moments ago. Sorry if you thought I was being forward. Really I'm quite harmless I'm just trying to make friends. Cleaned up the yard and now I'm back in the bathroom again. Right now I'm practicing charisma. This is quite a bit of work. I hope Isabella didn't think I was flirting with her. I have never done that in my entire life. I can hardly wait to try it though! Sheesh it must be the free will thingy. Working on my logic. There must be a easier way to make friends. Everything I say seems to be wrong. What should I do? Checking the newspaper for jobs. No job for me today. I think I'll give the crossword a try. What is that I hear outside... Look at this will you. That creature is back and dug up my yard again. Confound it! Nice doggy? He seems quite friendly. No collar, poor guy He doesn't have an owner. Sorry pup under different circumstances I would try to help you out, but I just have too much to figure out myself right now. He took off as soon as he had some affection. I'm seriously thinking of getting a fence. I'm not to crazy about filling in holes all the time. Had an urge to work out abit. Need to get in shape for my new job. Ewww this is hard, I'm about to explode! I will get rid of my jelly belly. Searching for a job. Job in the Science Career Track, that's the ticket! An email: Dear Sonny, Congratulations on getting the job. I notice you also have gained 3 logic points and 1 in body building. Way to go! Keep up the good work. Humor is a good way to start making friends. You might try AlienYuk's.com for a few jokes. A little old lady in Strangetown just loves to put them on line. Cheers, Little Seer I'll have to check into that AlienYuk's later. Now that I'm going to be a working stiff I'm going downtown to by some new clothes. I've been wearing these old coverall going on thirty years now. Sheesh I never thought that was a bad thing before. Awww look at the little shop girl. I didn't know Sims had to work so young. Maybe I should tell her about the motherlode cheat. I best be getting that magazine to get my health interest maxed. Hope this is the right one. I'm trying on clothes by a wonderful designer named DGandy. Gosh I think these clothes make me look great. I swear I feel younger. What the heck is that thingy over my head! It's a nice bright color. It makes me look positively brilliant! I really feel grubby now after having new clothes on. Now that my purchases are paid for I'll try chatting up some of the other customers while I'm here. Hello my name is Sonny...pardon me? No I swear I was not trying to touch you inappropriately! Darn that could have went better. Check this out, I got a cell phone. Maybe it would be best for me to call new acquaintances, at least that way I won't have to worry about my hands or facial expressions getting me in trouble. Well I best get home and get the fence up, enough with the lawn being ripped up. Home again and reading in my favorite spot. Have you noticed that a fella called Mortimer Goth over in Pleasentville always runs an add in the Simeon Times about his missing wife Bella. He must really be in love with her. I wonder what that's like. Well that was one busy day, about time I get to bed and get some sleep. Looks like I just got the fence up in time. A dog with glowing eyes? I never heard tell of the likes of his kind before. On my way to work. Drat I forgot to change into some of my fancy new duds. Old habits die hard. I didn't realize but I've always been pretty much a hermit. With this challenge I will have to get out there be friendly. I haven't had a chance to go on line about those jokes, oh well I'll have to wing it. The driver sure looks alot like the Taxi Driver. Here I go....Hi there, thanks for the lift to work. Now that I'm getting older do you realize how often I have to pee. Sheesh, he looks disgusted. Um...did you know that if you have a computer you can type in motherlode and..... Well I got my promotion and decide to work on other skills, like mechanical and cooking besides maxing my interest in health. Good to know you can live longer if you workout. I sure do want to have more charisma, might help me win friends and influence others..."I think some City officials maybe hiding oil in Lama University Headquarters to drive up the price of gas! Citizens of Veronaville should not put up with this outrage in silence...blaa blaa blaa b,blaa" Woo Hoo, I'm getting totally ripped! See me flexing, really buff, I'll live how many extra human seconds now? Yep, Bella Goth is still missing. Whew, I need to light a match! Just a quick shower and I'll check out that website. I wonder if I can find out anything about dogs with glowing eyes? Okay here we are AlienYuk's.com. Owned and Edited by Olive Specter who loves to make fun of everyone, not just Aliens. Hmmm, I don't know about Little Seer's suggestion on this one. These jokes are funny? Okay here's one: The Aliens in Strangetown are always running some sort of experiments. So did you hear about the Alien that crossed the road in the dark? Well... he was stapled to a Werewolf.... That reminds me I wanted to see about the dog with the glowing eyes...here's Gothy Search, type in glowing eyes. Holy Crow! It is a Werewolf...Says here if you are bitten by one you will become one. "Yikes!" First known case of Werewolfisim was one Leroy Brown also known as the badist dude in Strangetown. It is believed he was magically tranformed by the EA Sim Gods when he incurred their wrath by abusing himself before they had a chance to.... Oh my, he's back again. I sure am happy the fence is up and I locked the gate. I wonder if that's Leroy? Morning email from Little Seer: Dear Sonny you are doing great. I wanted to reward you for your efforts so look for a gift bought exclusively from Dr. Pixel's Creations after work. Cheers, Little Seer. Second day on the job. Boy do I feel good today. Hey Herb, how's it going? What do you call a bunch of Aliens in a hottub? Give up...Air bubbles... Well what do ya know about that, Herb is actually giggling. Herb, could I ask you a question? Why is that joke funny to you? Oh...I get it, Strangetown Aliens are widely acclaimed for thier ineptness. I see, so how dumb are they? I got to the top of my career, three cheers for me! Consort Capp was walking by and we talked for a bit. He told me an Alien joke. I was so happy I just about split a gut. He gave me an odd look, but I didn't mind, at least I know why it's funny now. I found Little Seer's gift, a brand new car. Woo Hoo. I love it! Best get an alarm installed right away. I hear tell there's been a burgler in the neighbourhood. You'd think that wolf always been around would keep him away. Took her for a polish and shine, apparently they call that "Car Detailing". Sheesh they names they have for things these days. What do you call an apple? An organically grown orb shaped digestion enhancer? Think I'll work on building my skills some more. I got to think about seeing vermin and how to go about getting that done. Well would you look at that, the mail man is really late today. I spent quite a bit of time talking on the phone to Teddy Larson and later his wife Isabella. No one has called me yet. Maybe someday. I'll keep trying. That Teddy is great at telling jokes. I laughed so hard I got the pee willies. I called Consort Capp and hit him with a joke Teddy told me. Did you hear about the two Aliens that walked into a bank....Well goodness you'd think one of them would have seen it! Gave Josie a call later and appologised for our unfortuate meeting in the store. We ended up chatting for hours. Shortly after hanging up Josie and her friend Amy came to visit. We all jumped in the hottub and had a great old time. Woo Hoo all these years with no women at all and now look at me! As nice as they are and all I sure wish I had a special lady all my own. After visiting for awhile I said goodbye.... ...and called for the services of Carmen Wren, Veronaville gypsy fortune teller and matchmaker. I asked her if she could manage to get me a blind date. Out of thin air this beautiful lady drop almost right at my feet. Carmen Wren introduced us: her name is Contessa Capp. I know that name, she must be she is related to Consort. My, my she is as pretty as a picture. I sure hopes she likes me. I will control what I talk about and my gestures. Oh EA Sim Gods, please don't make me do anything embarrassing! Sheesh I'm on pins and needles. I could hardly wait to go out on our date. With-in seconds I had wisked her into the car and we were on our way. Silly me so anxious to be on the way I didn't think to ask where she would like to go. We decided on The Crypt-O-Night Club. We were seated immediately and the waitress came along very quickly. These downtown businesses seem to be on their toes about pleasing their customers. Even as I made a toast to our first date our dinner was placed hot and steaming infront of us. Talk about service! We talked about the TSR Challenge and how I was getting along in it. I told her about maxing my health interest and how working out could extend your life span. Course she doesn't need to work out, she looks in perfect health. I wanted to ask her so many questions, like if she is Consort Capp's sister. Would that be too personal a question on a first date? Might be best to stick to small talk for now. I felt I couldn't have done too bad on our date when at the end of the meal she blew me a kiss. She is the sweetest gal I ever met. We had a good first date. I told Contessa I would be calling her soon. She gave me a quick squeeze good bye. I'm so looking forward to trying this all over again. Back at home I check on line and found out that rotten garbage could attrack vermin. Also found out that vermin is cockroaches, eww they are nasty looking! How long do you figure you have to leave it laying around like this? Oooh with my new cleaning skills I have this huge urge to get rid of it. Ahhh....must suppress cleaning ability! Sure looks like its getting stinky. No vermin yet. Time to hit the hay. Good night don't let the bed bugs bite....you don't suppose leaving that garbage laying around would attract bed bugs too do you? I feel kinda itchy now. Uck! The Werewolf came for another visit. What the heck is up? Has TSR programmed me as bait? Is there a hidded "keep from being bitten by Leroy" clause in the Challenge somewhere? Email from Little Seer: Dear Sunny, You are very close to attaining your goal and have actually exceeded what was required of you. I am amazed you have managed to make four friends in such a short time. Congratulations! Enjoy your first day off, you deserve it. Cheers, Little Seer Eww that garbage smells discusting! No bugs yet. Oh my! A love note from the lovely Contessa Capp. I must call and invite her over for dinner. Sheesh, guess that will have to wait. No vermin yet and the house smells wretchedly discusting. My first still life painting, I call it "Trash" bet you guessed it. I can barely stand this stench, how long does it take? Oh I just couldn't abide that odor any longer. I had to move the pile of trash outside. I envited Contessa over for dinner. I don't know what came over me but when I saw her I just couldn't help myself, I planted a big juicy wet one on her. When she gagged I thought it was me at first but then I realized the garbage was really fouling the night air. Boy Contessa is smart! She told me how the Sim Gods were planning to expand our lives with Seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. She thinks it will be a hoot. Gosh I swear I feel as inept as one of those Strangetown Aliens around her. Finally I dared to ask her if she was related to Consort Capp. She stopped talking all together. Then slowly she explained that she would rather wait until she knew me better to tell me all the sorted details. She said it would really take a lot of time and explaining and she would rather just enjoy our evening together. After dinner we got a chance to dance together. My first time! Man she is a wild dancer! I had a great time learning some moves and tried to be a gentleman by not stepping on her tiny feet. All too soon it was time to say goodnight. To date this has been the most fun I have had in my life. I'm so happy I'm not a hermit any longer. I'm trashed. I'll check for vermin in the morning. Does this mean he doesn't like my gate or is he trying to get past it so he can bite me. He looks kinda angry to me! No I'm not practising dance moves on the window. I'm stoppin those ugly butted roaches! Uck, I think one is trying to crawl up the leg of my pants. Ahhhh! There were so many roaches the exterminator looked afraid to get out of his truck. He yelled "I'LL BE BACK" and took off. I was pretty worried he might drive right through my house and the herd of vermin to kill them off .... ...but he soon returned with a stronger spray! Whew talk about strong stuff, it about peeled the paint off my siding. Now my Challenge is done. What is Contessa's story and what's up with that darn wolf? Well as it goes, we will have to leave that to another time. You could always tell Little Seer if you would like us to continue in this adventure a bit farther together. By the way you may not have ever seen these gorgeous glass tables before. If you're interested in them visit Big Bad Shar's page in TSR. They are my favorite end tables and go with everything. Many thanks to all the TSR Artists and Creators that made my little world worth living in.

    Thanks for all your wonderful comments. I really appreciate it. I was nervous, you have all made me feel much better. Elven Ranger the wallpaper in the last shot is from Mutske in a Dubay Livingroom set. There is matching furniture for it also. I just didn't use it in this pic. Mutske makes a lot of beautiful sets.
