A Stranger ISBI UPDATED 01/25

Post by Hugotarian »

When I saw the new StrangerVille game pack, I knew it was the perfect world to host an ISBI challenge! While my founder will be going through the StrangerVille mystery, I won't be documenting any of it so that you may all enjoy the mystery of the game on your own time.

Do you like alternating hilarity and unnecessary drama? If so, this ISBI might be for you!

The first few chapters are very narration-style, as I find there is little else to do with beginnings of ISBIs since they aren't interesting with only a single person in the household, but I promise all chaos is let loose once babies come in to the mix! Without further ado…

Generation 1
1.0 Bad Things Come in Threes
1.1 The Wayward Wedding
1.2 Failed Bladders and Marriages
1.3 Mommy Kisses Bun-Man!
1.4 The Dinner Party
1.5 A Day at the Bunker
1.6 The One Where Arie Finds Out
1.7 Operation Set Up My Teen
1.8 The Teenage Blues & Heir Poll
1.9 How Romantic?
1.10 At Least I Have My Martini

Generation 2
2.0 It's Cole's World and We're Just Living In It
2.1 Cole and Madison, the Saga
2.2 Prom

Two installments in one day? Should I be doing something else? Absolutely. Will I do something else productive instead? Absolutely not.

1.1 is out!

Well that first chapter was a rollercoaster! But I loved every minute of it!

And then the second chapter was THE SAME WAY! This is so great! Penny is so conflicted

Thanks, Teresa! The goal is to keep it interesting. I feel like my legacies always get a bit stuck in a narration rut, so trying out some stuff I normally wouldn't!

Ha ha, thanks friend! I'm so busy these days and I really wanted to have a legacy challenge I can just have fun with and play around with some drama. Penny's character seemed like the perfect legacy sim to throw some wild stuff towards!

Spoiler:
While I read chapter 1 in hysterics. I feel your pain. I've had a sim turned down for a proposal 5 times in 14 days by the same sim.

Chapter 2: Oh holy crap! Dammit, Lilith. Also, I have never seen that moodlet on a wedding day! I am quite surprised that they went through with the wedding or that they didn't get caught in bed.

1.2 is out…because why bother working on your dissertation when you already have four chapters of material written for a sims challenge? :spin:

I was honestly starting to get nervous that she would die from humiliation before I could even get the legacy started! :duh: The very first proposal I ever did in the sims 4 ended that way, and I've been scarred ever since. And, seriously, I was so caught off guard to see that moodlet. As for getting caught…I may have gotten frustrated at guests walking in and, erm, removed the door for the time being… :shrug:

I love this. Deanna (singinghymns) and I were reading it at lunch because we both enjoyed it so much. My husband gave up talking to us until we finished reading and was browsing his phone until we finished.

I enjoyed reading your story immensely! Can't wait to see what shenanigans Penny gets into next.
Spoiler:
I was also thinking StrangerVill was a good place for an ISBI so I moved my family there. Serafina is one of my favorite names!

I had an ISBI founder on an empty lot for the past 2 years. I moved her to Strangerville too. Not that it means she will ever get played though, lol
Spoiler:
Serafina is adorable! I can't wait to see the new one. I almost feel bad for Arie, but man he was useless. Poor Lilith. The love guru knows all! I never go to the festivals, I forget he's there.

This warms my heart so much––although apologize to your husband for me :lol: It's so cool that you guys are real-life friends! None of my in-person friends are into simming enough to participate in or read the stories and challenges…although I'm certainly working on fixing that lol. So glad you guys are enjoying it!

Day-time drama is 100% what I was attempting to channel in these first few chapters! :lol: I mean, really, who doesn't want a sims soap opera with a little ISBI failure here and there?
