The White House, a Trailer Park Challenge - updated 3/12/16

[raebeth47]

When my BaCC is going great and all my sims are making money hand over fist, I head down to the trailer park for a different kind of fun. Rules can be found here.

Founder: Barbara White, "Babs"
Chapter 1: Momma always said work was for suckers.
Chapter 2: "No way are you getting my baby!"
Chapter 3: "'Geometry'? Honey, I don't think that's a real word."
Chapter 4: "Ham Boy! Come down out of the ceiling now!

Was wondering what happened to this.

Spoiler:

I was looking for it after the move again and didn't see it, guess that last chapter says why. I kinda miss mine but don't want to restart it again. Anywho, nice to see Babs back in da house.

InTeen always worries me because I feel like I'm going to do something that will completely destroy my game with it, haha.


I love this challenge so much, it's just so trashy and terrible and you're certainly showing just how trashy it can get! I love it, can't wait to see more!

Ani-Mei,

Spoiler:

I was waiting to move it over until I had an update, just took me a little while. But I rather adore Babs.

platformperil,

Spoiler:

I've been worried about that, too. But this lovely trashy challenge is one of the reasons I went ahead and installed it - it just wouldn't be a proper trailer park if there were no teen pregnancy!

I like the first-person approach Assume you're going to switch to the heir at some point? Your version is a lot of fun to read, thanks for commenting on mine too!

[raebeth47]

Radiochocolate,

Spoiler:

First person is new to me in a sims story, but Babs insisted upon telling her own story. Most likely I'll switch to the heir once he or she is an adult, but I have considered having Babs continue to narrate as a ghost.

Oh, this was fun! I've never seen a trailer park challenge, before, but this made me want to play my own.

I like the first-person POV.

[Debbie]

I knew I had to read this challenge when I saw the title of the third chapter. Babs is easy to like. She's a nut.

[raebeth47]

Michelle, the first person is a new challenge for me. Enjoying it so far.

Debbie, glad you're enjoying the story! Babs is definitely nutty, but her heart's in the right place. More or less.

[raebeth47]

Update!

[Anne]

Ooh, fun! I kinda forgot you were doing this challenge as well, but I got caught up again soon enough. Loving this!

[MichelleCYoung]

Awwww, you have the sweetest kids! Babe may not have the traditional family, but she's doing a great job with those kids. They are helpful and kind, and I just adore them.

Spoiler:

Perma-plat! Yaaay!

That greenhouse is great! Not only is it fancy-like, but also, there won't be bugs and the garden can grow in the winter, as well. Sparkly cereal year-round.

I didn't even know sims COULD miscarry! Whoa. Sorry about that. SNIFF!

[raebeth47]

Anne, glad you're enjoying! This is a side challenge, so updates are somewhat rare.

Michelle,

Spoiler:

Babs is doing a good job, in her own way. She's a slob, so the kids ended up neatniks totally by chance, but it's still funny how often they clean autonomously.
I was so excited when Babs hit permaplat! Makes things much easier.
I really debated about spending pretty much all the yard sale money on the greenhouse, but I finally decided it was a good idea. They'll have a steady supply of food even in winter - important since the teenagers seem determined to serve meals every 5 minutes.
I have In-Teen, and the miscarriage possibility comes with that. I have to be really careful now, because the chance of miscarriage goes up for sims who have had them previously.
