3 Sims in 1 -- A Single Room Challenge -- Completed

[MarianT]

Three Sims in One – A Single Room Challenge

With only one sim, there's not much of a story, even if the sim is insane, creative and neat. One day, Gideon Navarrete went into an 8x8 room, removing the door behind him, to work on his identity crisis.



He's not allowed to have contact with anyone else. Until he develops enough gardening skill to talk to plants, the only being he can talk to is himself.



Besides figuring out who he is, his goal is to complete the Mansion Baron aspiration, and gather points for the challenge. Sometimes he thinks he's Darth Vader.



Sometimes he becomes a were-panda.



At the moment, he has completed the first level of the Mansion Baron aspiration. He'll update as he completes the next three.  He's not sure that the Princess Cordelia line of furniture fits any of his personalities, but it is comfortable (and expensive).



Score – 100 (beginning score)
Days  -- -23
Aspiration levels -- +35 (Nerd Brain 1, 2; Painter Extraordinaire 1, 2; Best-Selling Author 1, 2; Mansion Baron 1)

yay! Anther room challenge!! Good luck!

[Nettlejuice]

I love this challenge. Good luck to Gideon , he seems to be surviving his isolation in style 

[MarianT]

Thanks, KTK10 and Nettlejuice! Yes, Gideon has his own sense of style. I started using his own paintings for the Mansion Baron aspiration, but he wasn't getting credit for them. And then I discovered that it was cheaper to sell them and just get the pink dinosaurs. I forgot to mention the rewards he's been getting. Independent and Moodlet solver are off limits (as is the loner trait), but Gideon has Speed Reader, Marketable, Creative Visionary, and Steel Bladder.

Update

Gideon has been painting and writing. Not surprisingly, he has maxed both skills. Here are two of his favorite paintings:





It took him a few days to produce three best-sellers, although, since they were screenplays, perhaps they should be called blockbusters: Raiders of the Lost Park, Dances with Hamsters, and The Return of the Red Eye.



Selling his screenplays to publishers has put Gideon in a position where he is getting about $10,000 a day in royalties.



After completing the Best-Selling Author aspiration, he switched over to the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration. He then began ordering plants for the second level of the Mansion Baron aspiration.





Finally, Gideon set up his "Knights of Monte Vista" hall and spent enough to achieve the second level.

Interesting challenge. I might just have to try it

[Playalot]

Oh gosh this is a funny story! The challenge itself it interesting but the way you bring out your sims personality is hilarious!

[KTK10]

Love the names of your novels! Had me laughing out loud 

[Nettlejuice]

Oh, you have such good book titles and not lazy like me at all, lol. I love the Knights of Monte Vista.

Update

Gideon had a birthday. This happened because his watcher thought that he was on long age but it turned out he was only on normal, so she had to change it. He doesn't have a stove, so he didn't get any cake, but he's so confident from his paintings that he never felt sad.



He's better at making salads, tossing them enthusiastically.



Gideon added windows to his house, and also included a pool and a gazebo.

Happy birthday to Gideon. I love the new additions to the home lot.

[ManiSims]

Oh, I didn't even notice this story!    But it's really good, and the challenge itself is super interesting. Happy birthday to Gideon!

Finale

Gideon bought a bonsai tree to help him increase his gardening skill for the Freelance Botanist aspiration.



His favorite form was the "inspired" shape.



He practised his "knife" moves while making salads.



The best thing about working on programming was that he got a chance to talk to his best friend – the refrigerator.



Gideon worked on his dance moves when he switched over to the Musical Genius aspiration.



At last the day came when he had enough money to complete the Mansion Baron aspiration. He arranged for some columns to be installed, and bought a few more knights and violins.



Then Gideon opened his Spanish Inquisition gate and stepped out into a new world. He still doesn't know whether he's a panda or Darth Vader, but he's rich enough not to care.
