Tales of Sims gone wrong: Off The Streets and Hannibal Lecter games

I've been playing some pretty demented Sims games lately, one of which was a former Homeless Challenge game that I'd won and was continuing on with the Sim's lifetime wish and whatnot. The other is an attempt at murdering every starting NPC Sim in the game, which doesn't quite work so well when it comes to Unlucky Sims and whatnot, butanyways.

It should be noted these are Sims 3 console games without cheats. On with the show!


Off The Streets game

Shane Riddick started as an insane woman painting and writing books through her homeless life. She noticed that William Connor constantly ignored his toddler daughter River while he was reading books at the library, failing at flirting with women, and mooching money off people. The poor girl would scream and cry and pass out cold, eventually magically vanishing from the lot in the evenings. River had the insanity trait too, which she thought about a lot, and who can blame her!

When Shane successfully left her homeless life behind, she had a plan. First, flirt with deadbeat dad William, then... end up left in his house while he went off to work. At least by now, Shane could interact with River and thus took care of the girl that night, feeding her and playing with her and putting her to sleep. When daddy came home, the plot continued. A steady relationship was formed, Shane proposed, and William hurried into a private marriage ceremony. River came with him to Shane's house... which looked suspiciously like a nice little park with only a bench and a trash can nearby. Uh...?

Surprise, William! You've been evicted from the family and from existence completely, because Shane promptly moved to a new house with River and kicked deadbeat dad out of the game permanently. Shane raised River properly, every birthday a magical event, and River made record time earning her lifetime wish of Chess Grandmaster.

One day when Shane was chatting up John Nelson, the boss for the Military career track, she had a wish to kiss him. She did, but she didn't go as far as trying to make Johnny boy the supposedly family-man cheat on his wife with her... first, Shane asked him to break up with Roxy. After knowing Shane for a whole ten minutes, John said, "You know, you're right! I don't need her." It wasn't long before Shane and John were trying for a baby, though there was no promise made yet of a future together.

Big surprise when John came over the next day: Shane said it was time to move on, start seeing other people. John was heartbroken and mad, and may or may not have noticed that Shane was pregnant with his child. Once he left, Shane wrote a scathing article about him for her journalism job, and that was the end of anything with John. A few days later, son Richard was born, who would happily grow up Evil and wish to be a Master Thief.

Shane decided it was time to move, since her house was better suited for two. Riddick was thrilled to move to a new place while mommy and sister didn't really seem to care either way. Checking back with the old house later, guess who moved in? Not-such-a-family-man-after-all Johnny boy. He must love living in a place with no beds, stove, toilets, or tubs.

Shane is currently working on the Jack Of All Trades lifetime wish and is almost done writing her Masterpiece. Riddick is working hard on being a criminal and River paints, and that's where I last left off playing.


Hannibal Lecter game

Ah, the good doctor. His goal was to trap and kill every starting household in the town via starvation and/or fire. Lecter discovered the hard way that children can only be killed via fire, not starvation, and that Hannelore Landgraab would just plain not die because she was pregnant. The Nelson home became a lost cause because teenager Sofi's Unlucky trait made her be resurrected by the Grim Reaper every time. Speaking of Grimmy, Lecter also built a slight relationship with him, because Grims would sometimes stay to chat, watch television, or read a book. The most bizarre occurrence so far happened when Lecter visited police lady neighbor Penny Aragon.

First, he noticed by looking in the screen door at the back of the house, that there was a newborn baby sleeping on the kitchen floor. The only way that would have happened was if it passed out, while screaming and crying from being utterly neglected by mommy. He watched as she finally walked over, woke up the baby, and fed it a bottle... then placed it right back on the floor and walked out of view.

Ding dong, doorbell! Hello, this charming, handsome older gentleman would like to speak to you, miss! Lecter noticed another baby on the floor as he walked in. Penny had twins... but no cribs or baby stuff of any sort. While the doctor chatted Penny up into friends territory, she completely ignored the twins screaming and crying randomly. They would give up after a few minutes, and then start crying again later.

Lecter invited Penny to come visit, and she said, "Sure, why not!" The twins magically vanished completely from sight while Penny and Lecter ran over to his house. Penny promptly found herself trapped in a doorless, windowless room... and the twins did not show up again anywhere visible in or around her house for the duration of her ill-fated life. When she died, her house stood empty, and a day or two later, another family moved in.
