A Silver Monkey Love Story (of Doom)

Gosh darnit, I saw the hat and thought you were Shenene.

By the way, welcome back!

There we go, some pictures. Of course they aren’t to hang on my simself’s wall, are you crazy? Psh…

Hey Prince, I’m gonna need those.

So he heads to bed after an unsuccessful night of Princess-hunting.

Please tell me how leftovers that have been in the fridge for a week can still be steaming?

This old guy is named Berjes! *name-nerd*

And the vampire is named Count River something-or-other. SO marrying you in!

The waiter’s named Knut.

Ever seen a vampire stay at a community lot too late and burn?

I have.

Curious, can sims die on community lots? What about townies?

Hey look, Knut’s here too!

And the hostess is named Kenya. Too bad you’re old.

Ah Shannon, we meet again. I saw him at about every community lot I went to. Le sigh.

I see the gypsy at one lot, so I greet her. Might as well try!

I give her a kind of low amount, because apparently he and Shenenehave negative chemistry.

Prince’s face says it all. Not my Cinderella.

I ended the date right away, but then the lady lectured him.

“You didn’t even talk to me! Meh!”

Oh, just go away.

Another low amount, and Karen Gast falls. *End date*

Ellie Alioto or something. *End date*

Next date? Vyn something-or-other. What?

I swear these two are twins. Is it because I had two dates right after each other? I might do a storyline later where they’re identical twins.

Nobody wanted to see that.

And then…HEY! THAT’S MY CINDERELLA!

But she rejects his flirts anyway. Le sigh.

And then he takes love potion, but she gets a table before he can flirt again. Grr.

So he just waits and stalks her while she eats.

Simultaneous primping.

Finally!

Another dose of love potion…and she sits down again. GRR!

But finally, a flirt is accepted!

I love this couple.

And a first kiss. Glad I nuked all of those mystery sim memories.

Oh dear. Here comes Crumplebutt.

…And getting purse-beaten.

I just ignore her anyway.

I determined if you have actions lined up in the queue she won't hit you.

Unfortunately she will still hit your date.

Prince: Hey, call me!

They have two bolts with love potion.

Another beating.

How sweet. I love you guys!

Another beating.

Now they’re best friends!

Another beating.

Crumplebutt’s motto: The beatings will continue until morale improves.

…Le sigh…Another beating…

And then…He rolls THE WANT!

So he proposes immediately.

She, of course, accepts.

Crumplebutt: Grr, those darn kids, getting married…

Good memories all around! Good, no surprise romance sim. I’ve had that before.

Crumplebutt is not amused.

Ahh! It’s the ghost of Crumplebutt!

Jk. But that would be cool. *downloads playable crumplebutt*

And I think we all know what this means.

For those who don’t, *cough* WOOHOO *cough*

With Shenene moving in (first she moved in with 10K, then my game crashed. Second time it was only 3K) I remodel. This is now Shenene’soffice. She moved in with a typewriter the first time, so now she’s a writer. BTW, she’s a fortune sim.

I’m quite proud of my clutter pile.

See how massively awesome it is???

We also have the silver monkey statues.

A printer and scanner….(only deco)

And some other stuff. There’s the potion thingy to change turn-ons and offs, because Shenene had red hair as a turn off and other things Prince didn’t have as turn ons. After that, they had 2 bolts.

Also, her predestined hobby is sports, hence the volleyball.

Shenene’s so awesome and gorgeous.

I realize I could have made this a charming love story about how looks aren’t everything, but seeing as I had to extensively use love potion (10 bottles) to make them fall in love, I figured it wouldn’t work.

I also set up for a wedding.

Shenene also prepared for the wedding.

While waiting for Prince to get home from work, Shenene begins her first novel.

It was supposed to be a murder mystery involving sports, but Shenenemade it her own.

Poor Manny had to get all of Prince’s “awful date” notes out of the mail.

I put them all on display in his office.

I’d like to point out all that Shenene had in her inventory. There’s a karaoke machine, a TV, a gaming system, and three (yes, three) dance spheres.

Shenene also changes her aspiration from Fortune to Popularity. Her secondary aspiration is knowledge. She moved in with 15 friends, so I figured Popularity was fitting.

And then, Prince arrives home from work with the flu. REALLY? I kind of like it when my sims get sick, because it mixes up gameplay a bit, but the last THREE times I’ve had sick sims it was on the day of their wedding.

Luckily he’s family and can make comfort soup. Fixed!

The wedding party starts, and Brandi comes in with her posse.

Seriously, they were walking in sync and everything. Creepy!

Some chatting goes on….

The key to a good party is fulfilling social wants and making friends/best friends with someone.

But Amin just views the monkey statue. Can you please step off of the flowers?

But it’s soon time for the wedding. Shenene’s absolutely gorgeous.

…Maybe I should have thought this through. The people who actually wanted to watch the wedding came up to the top. Whoops.

What better place for a prince and princess to wed than in front of an angry monkey?

Where are you going, Melissa?

Melissa: Home.

But the wedding’s going on right now!

As I predicted, Prince is a cake-feeder. He’s nice, so it makes sense.

And it’s a roof-raiser, so the limo arrives.

And Manny’s left alone after he lights the fireworks.

These are amazing. I think they’re downloaded from Simlogical.

The Prince, his Princess, and his Protector.

Final Thoughts

• This challenge was fun, but fairly easy.

• I think a lot more could be added to this challenge.

• I ended up with four points. I got 3 points from three friends, one point from flirts accepted, 3 points for completing the challenge, -1 point for flirts rejected, and -2 for sims who refused to come.

• Now, on to the epilogue!

Shenene sold two novels, Woohoo with Prince and Silver Monkey Woohoo.

One was a flop, but the other was average.

I panicked when the delivery truck came, because I hadn’t ordered groceries, until I realized he was delivering the book.

Prince continued to help around the house.

I used InSim to speed up the pregnancy.

I also induced twins. The first, a boy, was named Little Prince.

The second, a girl, was named Princess.

The parents hold a book club in the babies’ room.

Next up…Toddler spam!

I’ll just let you enjoy these next pictures.

And with this picture of the toddlers playing with their monkeys, I bid you adieu.

Peace, love, and silver monkeys!
