Presents A PinStar Challenge

Sim of the Month

Amanda Ontherun

Starring:

Last time Amanda had managed to raise enough money to afford her own guitar. She was also last hanging out at the Bunch house. Not much has happened since except perhaps the fact that she’s definitely setting her eyes on getting that skill up.

$4594

$4594Whatcha doin’?

Reminding myself that there is a food

eating contest tomorrow.

This is when it was time to leave.

$4594

$4594

$4594

Spend the night, please?

One big reason to head to the Landgrabb estate isn’t simply because of the ritzy-ness. More like… there aren’t a million people going to walk in on Amanda while she uses the bath

$4594

$4594

Let’s play a game of what’s missing.

Methinks the auto-flushing toilet is… spraying her behind.

XD

$4594

$4594

$4594What’s got you

so chipper?

$4594

So much for family tension. At least they’re on the same page relationship wise. Can’t say the same about them Langeraks

$4594

$4594

Out of curiosity, I check back on the home lot and notice the mail box has something in it. EGADS?! Bills????

$4594

$4594

Thankfully no. Turns out Amanda got a nifty little thing for topping charisma skill, much like a hobby plaque from Freetime when hobby enthusiasm is topped off.

With only a couple hours until the eating contest, Amanda decides to pick up a few extra simoleons through real work. Unfortunately, no one was interested enough at this time of day.

$4594

$4594

Free food here I come!

$4594

$4594

Amanda doesn’t win the eating contest but as she would puts it…

At least I’m not hungry anymore.

$4594

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you… The Body Shaper 5001 1/3. As it is one objective of Amanda’s to change her appearance, purchasing this thing is a requirement. Though actual use, I’m not sure, so here we go anyway.

$4594

$4594

$4594

$4594

$4594

Amanda the Strong! She’s got muscles on her muscles. Well, not really, but she does have more strength. I did consider actually adding more ‘fat’, but somehow think some people would take offense. Don’t ask why. I won’t answer .

$4594

$4594

No, they are not sleeping with each other. They just happen to share the same bed.

$4594 It’s time to get what I came for.

$4594After snatching the laptop, I didn’t

realize it had to be placed on a desk before it could be moved into

Amanda’s inventory. Nabbing this desk will help allow Amanda the

opportunity to start directly finding out who is a computer whiz and who isn’t. And I do realize I could have just bought a desk but… I can’t sell it back.

$4594

And now for objective two at the Landgrabb estate: make-over time.

$4594

$4594

Brace yourselves: who you are about to see really is Amanda Ontherun. Still, she does need to change her appearance to dupe those on her tail so if you don’t readily recognize her, that’s bonus points.

$4594

$4594

Seriously, this is the same woman. Though I myself can only really tell simply because her nose and cheeks give her away. Everything else is just… different.

$4594 No one will ever recognize me!

$4594

Just random pictures of Amanda enjoying herself as she cooks up some pancakes.

$4594Thus Amanda’s glorious country music career beings.

$4594

Bella Goth cameo

$4703Amanda makes a side trip to the book store. She possesses an opportunity to attend a… something other with a famous guitar player.

$4594

Why do my shins hurt?

$4703

I am in your story, making my cameo.

$4703

$4703

$4703

$4703

$4703

Rousing success… the opportunity raises Amanda’s guitar skill to the next level and then some. Which means bigger tips. Whoo!

$4703

I see it and think:Horse eating an apple.

$4703

$4703

$4703

While Amanda is playing, I think she is doing pretty good since she has a nice crowd around her. Then I turn the camera and notice the even larger crowd near the theatre.

$4703I am playing my guitar and stealing your spotlight!

$4717

Ian Bowler Residence

$4717Spend the

night?

$4717

After stepping inside, I quickly discover Amanda isn’t the only guest Ian has tonight.

$4717

$4717 I’m having a hard time telling why the nose transforms during shower time. Is it simply camera angle, the way she turns her head, or perhaps even a game thing?

$4717

Please tell me you didn’t wake me up just to listen to you

play.

Well…

$4717

$4717

$4717Well if it isn’t Miss Stuck-Up Snob. I thought you didn’t like Moochers?

$4717

$4717

$4717

$4717

$4717

$4717

$4717

Well, well, well… if it isn’t Cornelia Goth. Come to pay tribute to Amanda are we?

$4717

And she even brought Mortimer with her. How wonderfully coincidental.

$5012

It feels like it’s been ages since Amanda’s slept at the Langerak residence, but she is still on good terms with everyone… except Zelda and the father-person.

$5012

And it looks like a lot of the furniture Amanda ‘borrowed’ has respawned.

$5012 Oh, orange sherbet ice cream. How I’ve missed thee.

$5012

$5012

Thought: Why does the black guy look souless?

$5012

If playing in front of the theatre worked for Kaylynn, then it will work for Amanda.

$5012

And the crowd grows…

$5012

And grows…

$5012

And… What’s with all the yawning?

$5012

Oh

$5645

$5645

Gathering a solid group of friends that were at the theatre, Amanda treats them all with a meal at the bristro. Sure, it might cost a lot of money but... I did snatch up the Discount Diner award so all food is free.

$5645

$5645

$5645

Amanda receives a phone call in the wee hours of the… evening, from Parker Langerak. “I need food!” he says. “Please make a group meal for me. I pay you!”Joy. More money = nice, but not certain if it was worth waking up to find out.

$5645

Morning comes. While it is tempting to attend to Parker’s opportunity, I’d rather Amanda start working on what I perceive as the hardest objective: Finding a husband that is a Computer Whiz and not a cop. The easiest method is using a computer then ‘Talking about Computers’ to other Sims. Easy enough, right?

$5645

No.

$5645

No.

$5645

Well, since the male residents of the house are not Computer Whizzes, might as well use the stove and prepare that group meal Parker wants.

$5645Why is it that I can’t put this meal I prepared in

my inventory?

>_< Ok… I’ll just scratch that opportunity off the list.

$5645I hope I find a Computer Whiz soon.

$5645

Parker Langerak?No.

$5645

This old man?No.

$5645

This other old man?No.

$5645

This guy here?

$5645They open up like clams, yes? Oh I just love clams. They are so tasty and yummy and scrumptious and…

No.

$5645

Lady, I’m a technophobe.

So no.

$5645

This teenager here?No

$5645You wanted to ask me something?

I don’t… remember what it… was…

$5645Apparently… there’s a time limit on topics. *sigh*

$5645

This guy…No.

$5645

And then Amanda sees this guy. His name is Cycl0ne Sw0rd. Judging by his name, I thought, “Maybe…” and just walking over to him and saying “Hi,” lead to…Personality Trait discovered: Computer Whiz! WHOOOO!

$5645

At long last… Amanda can make use of her Hopelessly Romantic side. That is…

I really like guys into computers. Such a nice trait.

$5645What do you mean you’re already in a

relationship???

Cycl0ne Sw0rd is already spoken for. Not married, per say, but still… That means only one thing can be done!

$5645

No, not mock him. More like…. Become really good friends with him. I definitely remember that there is an option to ask someone to break off a relationship with someone they’re already with. So once Amanda and Cycl0ne are best buds… well, it’s simply a matter of removing the other woman from the picture. Hey, Amanda’s more important than anonymous!

$5645Cycl0ne Sw0rd is a journalist so that makes things perfect. Because that means he isn’t a cop.

$5645

$5645

$5645

After lots of talking and relationship building to become… good friends. It’s time to step up to the plate.

I was thinking maybe…

$5645

$5645Dump your current girlfriend and love me instead.

$5645LOL! Sure.

$5645

All that time spent building up my charisma is paying off! Oops, did I

say that out loud? I mean. Thanks! This means a lot to me.

$5645

How about we step things up to

Romantic Interest?

$5645

$5645

Little did our flirting couple know, lurking in the shadows is none other than Erin Kennedy! “Um, who is that?” you might be wondering. Well, Erin is none other than… DUM DUM DUUUUUUM! Cycl0ne Sw0rd’s former girlfriend! Funny, no?

$5645

$5645

$5645 Did I mention that I really like the fact

that you’re a Computer Whiz and

not a cop?

$5645

$5645

I found a Computer Whiz of

a guy;I’m so happy I

might possibly cry.All I really desire

now is lots of cash,And a wonderful

home so I can crash.

$5645

$5645

Speaking of places to crash…

$5645How wonderful! I’ve finally found a guy. All that’s left now is a wonderful place to live and a fantastic wedding party.

$5645

Opportunities of the week:-Tuesday Chess Tournament-Saturday Minor Olympics

$5645

In the meantime, Amanda has a lot of tips to gather.

$5929 And this is how the chapter ends. Amanda finds the man her heart desires for identity change and she no longer really looks like the same person. All that is left is the long haul for money and getting her ideal house together. In the meantime, it’s time to enjoy some decent and very free fast food.
