If you’re still around, I’d like to tell you that I wouldn’t consider that cheating, as it’s technically something you could do in real life. Sure, a real headmaster would look at you funny for moving the same painting around so much, but, then again, a good headmaster shouldn’t need to be bribed and schmoozed like that, so it evens out.

I got bored with my first normal couple, so I built a household named “Tool Academy”. It has four males, all with negative traits like being slobs, unlucky, rude, lazy…

The ringleader, Ronaldo Quintana (younger brother of Jeff Lebowski’s bowling nemesis Jesus) looks like “Mysterious” from the Tool Academy TV show. Think of a wanna-be Chris Angel with a top hat and goth make up.

I had fun building and decorating their house in the way I imagined these basement-dwellers would if they were suddenly handed $250,000 (cheat code). The house is basically a huge white barn to give maximum floorspace for all the rockin’ stuff inside. They went with a Classical Greek theme for the interior. Lots of white marble and no less than 12 marble columns in the foyer, tastefully accented by leopard print area rugs. It’s ridiculous, but I think Tony Montana from “Scarface” would have approved. Of course, the appliances are cheap (they’re all lousy cooks anyway), but almost every room has a top-end stereo and big screen TV. There’s only one bathroom, but that made space for the “hot chicks room”: red walls, blue lights, more marble columns and a go-go dancer cage in the corner - all right.

They all hate each other - a fight usually breaks out every hour or so. They leave the TVs on all the time and there’s trash and dirty dishes everywhere. The neighbors are beginning to hate them too, but maybe this will turn around after Ronaldo joins the mob and learns intimidation skills to turn their hate into fear (I hope that’s possible).

I think my next project will be a “Jersey Shore” household. Hot tubs for everybody!

I need some help. I went to Sim City for a night clubbing. Somehow I ended up in a night club basement where these woman with fangs made me their WooHoo slave. The next thing I know they are draining all the blood from the babies and then resurrect them into Ghost babies with fangs! Someone needs to warn the citizens of Sunnyvale!!!
