Well, I went into my first run with The Sims 2 without any clear idea of what kind of family I was going to make and what kind of people were going to be in it. In the end I came out with a nerdy but outgoing social butterfly named Alex Blue. Now, Alex is a nice enough fellow, and he knows well enough how to make friends, but he's not very clean. His roomate, on the other hand - Elise Blue, unrelated - cleans everything. She spent half of the short game day cleaning up after Alex. She was fu[size=2]ck[/size]ing obsessive-compulsive. I had her insult Alex every time he entered her special room with the painting supplies. He was simply too filthy, as she must have seen it. Keep in mind she is dressed up like a goth - black hair, black lipstick, black lacy dress with spiderwebby designs. She has the social skills of a goth, too. She's angry and grim. It's quite a pair.
These two are pretty poor. They start off with $20,000 dollars precisely, and buy a ~$17,000 dollar house. They spend the rest on an expensive bar (Alex's doing entirely), a chair that looks like a panda (also purchased by Alex), a refridgerator, some painting supplies, and a bed for each of them. Alex spends extra money and buys a double bed in the hopes that some of his new neighbors are hot chicks.
Right away Elise gets a job cleaning kitchens or something about as [size=2]shi[/size]tty. Alex considers getting a job, but he doesn't see something easy like 'golf caddy' right away, so he gives up. The very morning after they move in, Elise runs off to her first day on the job in the wee hours. Alex wakes up a few hours later, sells Elise's sh[size=2]itty painting (which she made the night before in gothic moodiness - it's little more than a colorful scribble of a little girl) for $2, and starts working the oven, because he hasn't had breakfast yet and it's already noon or something. Then something went terribly wrong. The stove caught and the pair had not yet bought a fire extinguisher. The kitchen and dining area burn to a crisp, and the refridgerator, counters, panda chair, Alex's bar, and Alex himself are destroyed in the fire. Dead in a fire the morning after moving in... Alex Blue, we harldy knew ye.
Elise returns home to find her roomate dead and half of her spendings lost... so she goes upstairs and paints a pretty picture of a house.
All she could afford after the fire was another refridgerator. She doesn't have any tables or chairs. Now she's looking for a rich, preferably dying/old, man to marry. She spends her time now taking taxis to the park at night and playing on the children's swingset.[/size]
