Mao is Surrounded by Idiots!

Of course, with a “star” pupil like Adriana… can you blame me? The woman was always in the red. Quite honestly, she’s the worst autonomous sim I’ve ever seen. She gets stuck in more need cycles than I thought possible. In fact, she had her head on that plate for a DAY! With her in states like this, no wonder it took so long for her to get the necessary skills.

Her moods would be better if she didn’t spend all her time in the hot tub. Star had wanted one, so I indulged her. If only I had known that the once buggy professor was also a hot tub addict. Cripes! Around this time Luther got the paranormal career reward. Just a precaution for any TH-in-waiting. Oh and the fact that poor Guy endured a marathon of scaring to the point where I had Luther ready to plead with the reaper. I think he was scared six times in a row… and he survived. Of course, he probably wouldn’t have survived another one, since his portrait was very, very red. Good thing he scurried off away from the ghosts.

Speaking of Guy, he transitioned into a teen… and rolled Knowledge. Argh! No more! He will definitely be switching in college. You will not be maxing all skills anytime soon, dude. So just sit tight, enjoy your brief interlude as a Knowledge sim, and prepare for aspiration failure.

Things were a lot easier with Guy as a teen. As I mentioned before, I could change the way I deal with homework, allowing Luther more time to waste–err spend with Adriana. Of course, it went slightly worse when Guy started acting up… what with the refridgerator door surfing and the constant tantrums. You’d think a Knowledge sim would have a bit more maturity! Somehow, through all the mess, he maxed cooking. What? Yeah, I was amazed. Can you tell this all breezed by? It really did.

Another Lex family tradition; roaches. What is this? A cheap motel? Who is the guy kicking over the trash bin and how do I keep missing it? I even upped my resolution to the point where I can–almost–see the entire lot without scrolling! I will catch you, you evil garbage-knocker-overer!

It was awful nice of Adriana to go out and spray the roaches. Moot, but still. Of course, this was after she spent a sim hour shrieking and stomping. Thankfully, no flu outbreak. Eat that, dirty roaches! By the time the exterminator arrived… there were three little roach piles. Wow. How long had the garbage been like that?
