Introduction & my parents.

Hello my name is Christmas. Yeah truly that is my name. My father was recently killed and my mother ran off so I had to get a job to provide food for the family. I did not realize until recently just how screwed up the family really was. I am in court ordered therapy. As long as I continue to go to therapy and to improve myself I will be allowed to keep my family together. I also have to make sure all the kiddos go to school. None of us ever went to school before.

Well I guess I better introduce you to my family.

This is PawPaw, Well his real name was JoeBob Bobbitt but we all called him Pawpaw.


Pawpaw was a very unlucky person and he never failed to let us know in the most Dramatic ways just how Unlucky he was. I found out later that he was Mooching food and money in town and that is what fed us. He Hated going Outside and so he seldom left the property. As a matter of fact that is one trait that all of the family has in common. Well that and Insanity.

Pawpaw was the only one of us that ever left the property. He only left if he had to go get food but he never came home empty handed. One day the feds came to tell me of Pawpaw's death. He had been hit by a train. Since Pawpaw never came home with the food we soon ran out. MawMaw ventured out to get some but she never returned. I found out later that MawMaw always believed that Pawpaw would achieve his dream of Swimming in Cash. She was nothing more than a Gold Digger. They were originally drawn together because of the shared Hatred of the Outdoors and of course their Insanity. MawMaw temporarily overcame her Snobbishness and Commitment Issues and married Pawpaw. I don't really think she was ever happy here. She slept alot. Fortunately she was a Heavy Sleeper and us kids seldom woke her with our antics.




Since Mawmaw never returned, this forced me to go looking. I was arrested for something or another that I never figured out, but the fed guys and a "social worker" made sure we had a fridge full of food and gave me a list of rules we had to follow.

One of the rules I had to follow was to get a job. I got one as a organ donor. After my first therapy session I realized just how messed up everyone in the family is so I have set it as my goal to fix them. I am going to become a World Class Surgeon.

Simmers notes:
Christmas is the only playable sim at this point. She is starting as an adult. While the setup is based on the Asylum Challenge it is different in many ways.
Start with 5 bed spots, 6 seating (only one napping spot), 5 skill builders (mirror, bookcase, weight set, easel, pond), stove, fridge, sink, toilet, and tub. Other items can be gained by going to the junkyard. The junkyard is only open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays there is a limit of one item per person. The repairman can only be called once every other week.

Christmas's goal is to "gain her sanity" Besides the family traits of Hating the Outdoors, and Insanity she also has to working on her Over Emotional tendencies, her Drama Queen tendencies, and of course her Neurotic tendencies. This is done by having a "mid-life crisis" She can only change one trait for each "crisis" She may not purchase any other life time awards until all 5 "undesirable" traits have been "cured."

No other sim is playable to begin with. One other sim will become playable after each undesirable trait is cured. After Christmas fulfills her lifetime wish one other sim will become playable. As each sim becomes playable they too must rid themselves of their undesirable traits as Christmas guides them on the road to sanity. The final sim will become playable after Christmas has helped at least one other sim make their way to their lifetime goal.

Sims may only move out after their lifetime wish has been completed.

Any time a child gains a trait upon growing up you can choose the trait if allowed.

The game is over if the social worker takes any of the children, if any sim dies before being cured, if Christmas dies before all of her siblings are cured, or when all are cured.

Free will set on high; life span on long. No vacations.

Controllable sims may only leave the lot to work until the "hates the outdoors" trait is cured.
