Welcome to Weirdville! (Part 2)

[nentari]

It's been a while, but I'm back with more from my Sims 2 Weirdville neighbourhood!

I promise I'll post the rules I created for this project (eventually). In the meantime, enjoy this post - and, if you've missed part 1, you can find it here.


It's a brand new morning in Weirdville. The sky is blue, the birds are singing...


...and Weird Alfred McCheese looks sad.

Weird Alfred: I finished my grilled cheese sandwich. I wish I was still eating it.

Oh brother.


He was going to throw out the trash, but the moment his carpool arrived he dropped everything...


...and rushed to the car.

The trash bag vanished the moment he threw it on the ground. Something tells me he'll regret it when he gets back.


Oh, hello there, Apollo Duckling (sammyfrog). What are you doing here?


Oh. Stealing the newspaper, I see.


As luck would have it, Weird Alfred returned at that very moment.


Apollo: Curses! I must turn the newspaper invisible and flee!

I wonder why I made Apollo talk like an old-time villain. Maybe it's the hat.


Luckily for him, Weird Alfred was too distracted by his discarded trash to notice.

Weird Alfred: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

I told you he'd regret it.


The first thing he did (after dealing with the trash, of course) was gain the necessary skills for his promotion.


He then decided to go back to Bigg City (AKA the local downtown, created by penig).


He found a spot known as Stage Fright, which consists on a couple of stages with instruments, a bonfire, a juice keg, and nothing else.


He immediately rushed to the drums on one of the stages. An unusual choice for him, but he seemed to enjoy it.


Really enjoy it. It was as if he was born for the stage.


Soon, other sims began to arrive. Firstly, one of the Bella Goth clones.


Then, a guy called Bill Goth.

Hang on. Bill Goth?

Oh, did I forget to mention? The cloning experiments the aliens did on Bella also included adding some variants, regarding aspirations, age, and gender. Bill Goth here is Bella's male clone.


Olympia (bondchick_nett) doesn't seem very impressed with Bill's musical skills.


She decided to join Weird Alfred on the other stage and show Mr Goth how to really rock the bass.


Very soon, they were joined by the local Downtownie slob on guitar while a random townie improvised a cool dance routine.


One of the resident aliens (you know, the ones who crash-landed on Weirdville and who are responsible for all the Bella clones) was also enjoying the music.


Aylatani Starbloom (tigerannesims2) walked by, but didn't stay long.


Not only did Weird Alfred enjoy performing for others, he also earned a considerable amount of money in tips.

Weird Alfred: Sweeeeeet! I can pay my bills next time with this.


Once he was back home, he rewarded himself with a soothing bubble bath.


Then, he was visited by the head of the local Music & Dance hobby club, who rewarded him with a membership card.


It had been a long and productive day.

Weird Alfred: ZzzzzzzSkye WeisszzzzzZ...

(Note: Skye Weiss is a penig sim.)


He woke up the next morning with a strange desire. I was expecting a drum kit, and hoping for a piano, which I feel suits him better.


Welcome back, Andromeda Tenuta. It's good to see our crime-fighting newspaper deliverer again.


After a nice breakfast (another grilled cheese sandwich, of course), Weird Alfred decided to dance to the Pussycat Dolls, while in his grilled cheese undies. Classy.


He interrupted his dancing only when the carpool arrived.


I love my name mod.


Promotion time. (And also epic promotion face.)


Again, he prioritized gaining skills for his next promotion.

Weird Alfred: Don't wait for a genie's lamp to arrive to your doorstep. Work hard on what you love and your wishes will come true anyway.

Wise words.


His home decor is such an eyesore. I love it.


I then noticed Kowri Duedonne (bondchick_nett) playing with a wolf named Pookie outside. It was hailing, but neither of them seemed to notice.


I don't think the mohawk suits her, but she's very cute - and a Knowledge Sim, if I remember it correctly.


Because of this, I made Weird Alfred greet her, in order to see if they're compatible.

Meanwhile, Pookie decided to annoy me by digging a hole right next to the mailbox.


Damn you, Pookie!


Aw, thank you, Kowri. That was very nice of you, but I'm afraid we'll have to decline. Weird Alfred already has his dream job.


Once she left, I made him inspect the hole. Even though those things ruin the Environment bar, I usually only fill a hole once a sim finds something really valuable, or when a pipe bursts. Neither thing happened this time, so the hole is still there. (He did find a pink rocket ship, which I added as decoration, but forgot to take a screenshot of it. Sorry.)


Have I mentioned before how much I love his bedsheets?


The next morning, he decided to pay his bills.
In his grilled cheese underwear.
While a teen girl was walking by.

Petula: Heeeeey there. Nice shorts!

(Also, see that red building in the distance? That's one of the community lots I built early on, as my rules allow for something to be built as long as it fits the "deserted road in the middle of nowhere" feel of a yet-undeveloped place.)


Another full day of work, and another promotion.


Since his skills are enough for his next promotion, he decided to inspect the mysterious red building.


It turned out to be Big Edna's Burger World, a retro-styled diner that works as a pit stop for weary drivers passing by. It was named after the diner in "Weird Al" Yankovic's movie UHF, as most buildings in Weirdville will follow that specific theme.


The moment Weird Alfred stepped inside, he was greeted by two more bondchick_nett sims.


Also, the real Bella Goth was there.


The place was full of female sims, and all of them wanted to greet Weird Alfred. Next, he met Mary Land (penig) and a random townie named Ginny Krum.


How's the burger?

Weird Alfred: Needs more cheese.


It's another of the stranded aliens!

(They were made by Amura, by the way.)


Out of all the female sims in Burger World, the one Weird Alfred felt more attracted to was Mary Land. This could be a cute pairing, if not for all the soap-esque drama that might ensue. (If you've played Widespot before, you'll know what I mean.)


She doesn't mind him talking about grilled cheese. Oh dear.


It was getting late, so I told Weird Alfred to return home.


It's a good thing I did, because Valentine Hart arrived right after I told him to leave. I cannot begin to imagine the drama if he had seen Weird Alfred trying to flirt with Mary.

Again, if you know, you know.


In spite of my efforts, it looks as if Weird Alfred is smitten with sweet Miss Land.

Let's hope he'll find someone else next time. If he still wants Mary I won't stop him - but if that happens, he'll be in for a big surprise...

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll try to update sooner next time!
