Remember, Dirk is here alone since his dad moved out to marry Cassandra Goth. When the lot first opens, his wishes look pretty hopeless. He wants to buy a car so he can drive to Private School every day, which will make him look good to get into University so he can become a doctor. Uh-huh. His LTW is to become a Hall of Famer. So he gets the cheap $900 car, and calls the headmaster.
I like BJ Ryan. He is friendly with about every body. He even likes burned hot dogs enough to give them 27 food points on the tour! Good for you, Dirk!
Almost everyday after school, Dirk rolled wishes to go buy clothes. So after homework, off he'd go. He was extremely attracted to cashier Nichole Thompson. She is a Fortune Sim as well. But he would never go to her check out, always George's. It is almost as if he was afraid to approach Nichole. Hmmm..maybe she will join him in University to see what trouble can be stirred up!
Finally on this day he decides to approach her. The first thing he talks about is marriage. Go you, Dirk!
Finally on Wednesday evening after his conversation with Nichole, he rolled a wish to get a creativity skill point. This snowballed into wanting more and more. Yay! This is easy-street when wishes are being played, he kept these wishes. Lock 'em in!
Carolina London came home with him in the bus Monday. Being a good Sim he chatted it up with her and became friends. However he has no real interest in her. She calls him every day. Poor Dirk!
The skill wishes for Dirk shifted from creativity to cooking wishes. Due to wishing, Dirk maxed his cooking skills. This won't help him become a Hall of Famer, but still. He will be a good cook to some wife!
Of course upon obtaining the 10th cooking skill point, he spins up 'win a cooking contest'. So off the Sue's Kitchen he goes. He grills up his favorite food, hotdogs, and proceeds to brag about how much skill he has. Sue submits ribs, Damion Kramer makes lunchmeat sandwiches, and Avri Hart enters Santa Cookies. haha!
And Sue wins with her entry of ribs. Dirk, you shouldn't have been such a braggart! But then on the other hand, a wish can still be fulfilled that you have...to eat hotdogs! Yeah!
And we end our visit with Dirk at Woodland Park, where he visited on Sunday hoping to see someone he could talk all about his hobbies with. He grilled up some hot dogs for lunch, thus fulfilling that wish, found Lillith and discussed Cuisine, fulfilling that wish, then topped off his five wishes for the day by 'flirt, kiss, makeout' with her. Good for you, Dirk!
WISHES:
Being a Fortune Sim, Dirk wished for Things at the beginning of the week. He bought/sold a car six times. Get some kind of pet rolled several times, but I was able to circumvent that by choosing other things, no matter how trivial it seemed. I didn't want the pet to go back to the pound when he left for university. He spun up Go To College early in the week, and never lost it, so he will be attending University. Once he started wishing for skills, the lot went quickly. Good for you Dirk! It was a pleasant play.
I love the repeated rolls for clothes. What an excuse just to get close to Nichole!
ReplyDeleteDirk did well on his own. I like how when he finally talked to Nicole he brought up marriage. :) I like his face when getting yet another call from Carolina. ;) It looks like he may have a stalker.
ReplyDeleteHis interplay with Nicole seems very realistic for a teenage boy, especially a brainy sort like he seems to be. Attracted, but too shy/scared to actually try to talk to her for a long time. Great update!
ReplyDeleteInteresting development with Nicole Thompson, the head cashier for the Chamber of Commerce! In my game, Dirk had an *affair* with Nicole, and then she forgot about him, since the Chamber of Commerce has their employees under partial mind control. She also was ultra-serious, to match her face, and treated her interactions with Dirk completely rationally, without any hint of passion.
DeleteI'm sorry to see Dirk using Lilith like a wish satisfaction object and then forgetting about her. Poor Lilith has mistreatment written in her destiny. ~ j7n
Will you be able to move Dirk back into that house when he graduates? Will you get a placeholder to keep it for him? I've never left an empty house.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering that myself. He will probably have to buy his way back in, if he wants that house.
DeleteAt least the furniture will have depreciated in value and the house will be cheaper. Dirk's family needs a patch to keep their money, instead of having to survive on the 10 or 20 thousand that the state will hand out to them. Or they won't be able to purchase that home. ~j7n
DeleteAwww.....I like Dirk's reactions with Nicole, it's cute. Funny how a fortune sim starting into a knowledge type route, although it made it easy for you. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYou can put all stuff in the house in his backpack and keep it there until he gets back from college. He will only have 20.000 when he graduates, so see to that the lot is worth less. He will need to buy it back if you don't give him a placeholder
ReplyDeleteIf you destroy the location data for furniture objects, there will be less of a house left... A patch or a temporary empty lot will be a better solution.
DeleteThey should not lose all of themselves at once (clothes, body, hair, money, home...) when moving in and out of college. It's as if Eaxis want's to rehash everything to entropy at every opportunity. ~j7n
