Week Seven: Final Challenges!

Final two Sims, Kyle and Rita, will battle it out in a head to head competition featuring all six previous challenges!

Though the winner of these final challenges may have a better chance of living, the last two Sims don’t hold grudges against each other. In fact, Kyle asked Rita to train him and Rita kindly obliged.

Before the challenges start, we’ll take them both to the spa. For one of you, this is your final trip to the spa…ever.

Spa Trip

The winners of last week’s vote (Rita) and challenge (Kyle) get the Relaxing Rendezvous package at the spa. These two are very familiar with the spa. They’ve been there together many times in the course of this competition.

Challenge

There will be no immunity this week. The Livin Sim will be determined by your votes alone.

The first challenge gives us a reminder of week one, painting.

Paintings’ Values

Kyle: $51

First Place
Rita: $93

Congratulations Rita! Nice painting. Kyle may have won this challenge in week one but you got him this time!

The second challenge was from week two, fishing!

Fish Weights

Rita: 0.31 kg Goldfish

First Place
Kyle: 0.41kg Goldfish

Nice fish Kyle! Charles may have had the biggest fish in week two but who’s laughing now!

The third challenge will be chess.

Wins – Losses

Kyle: 2-3

First Place

 Rita: 3-2

Kyle may have beat Joanna in week three but you got him this time Rita! Good work!

The next challenge is from week four, a strength workout.

Time Exercised

Kyle: 4:28

First Place
Rita: 7:00

Sorry Kyle, but you were no match for Rita in this challenge. Looks like all that working out paid off for Rita.

Next is the handiness challenge. Let’s upgrade some dishwashers!

Percent Upgraded

Rita: 66%

First Place

Kyle: 100%

Good work Kyle! Nice solid win. Lucky may have beat you last time, but not this time!

The last challenge is gardening. I sent them to the park just like last time and they came home with 2 unknown seeds.

Plants Harvested

Rita: 2 potatos ($14)

First Place
Kyle: 2 potatos ($17)

You’re still the master gardener Kyle! Just like in week six’s challenge.

That’s the last challenge which means it’s now time for you to decide on how to vote.

Vote

NOTE:

The voting has changed this week! I’d like you to vote for the Sim you want to win, not lose. You’re vote will put that Sim one step closer to being the Living Sim!

Wins: 3 challenges Skills Gained: 1 logic, 2 painting, 3 athletic, 1 cooking, 2 gardening, 2 handiness Wins: 3 Challenges Skills Gained: 1 logic, 2 painting, 3 athletic, 2 cooking, 2 gardening

Note: All actions were done by Sims without my help except for the challenge.

Sixth Death: Wah! Lucky!

One more week has passed and here’s the votes:

First Place Kyle Winters Immune! ————————————- Eliminated!Lucky Vegas 55% (37 votes)

Second Place Rita McFInnIgan 45% (30 votes)

That means lucky went from first place last week down to elimination this week. You lasted so long Lucky, but your luck has run out.

“Whatever guys. I know how this works. You don’t have to push me.”

Lucky will drown just like Ruby did in week two. Into the pool. Nice shades.

Not just Death came to see Lucky. Ruby came too. She obviously feels your pain.

Death of course came too. You weren’t too upset to go. Guess you knew it was your time.

Rita and Kyle are lonely without you! The house is so empty. Come back and haunt us anytime.

This means the next challenge will be the final showdown! Only two Sims left. Who will be the Living Sim and who will face the death chamber?

Question of the Week: In the vote for the final two would you rather vote for the Sim you want to win (opposite of the other votes) or the Sim you want to lose (like usual).

Thanks!

Week Six: Got Garden?

Three Sims left! That means immunity this week is more crucial than it’s ever been.

This week’s challenge is gardening so I took the Sims to the park to find a seed they could plant.

Kyle found an apple seed, Lucky found a lettuce seed, and Rita found a tomato Seed.

I let everyone stay in the park after they found their seeds.

Rita had a picnic all by herself.

Kyle found a new friend! I’m not sure why he looks so frightened. She must have a great laugh…or something between her teeth.

Some ghosts came to visit this week. Joanna and Stephen were not happy to see each other.

Charles just tries desperately to get clean.

Spa Trip

The winners of last week’s vote (Rita) and challenge (Lucky) got to go to the spa this week. These two got seaweed facials.

Challenge

The winner of the gardening challenge will be determined by the first harvest worth the most.

First the Sims must plant their seeds.

For some reason Kyle’s was the only plant that grew weeds. The girls must have discovered some Round Up.

Harvest time finally came. Kyle would rather have fish than apples.

Plants Harvested

Lucky: 3 lettuce ($9)
Rita: 4 tomatos ($18)

First Place
Kyle: 4 apples ($20)

Congratulations Kyle! Your apples were worth the most. I guess all that weeding paid off. You’re immune this week.

Vote
Remember: The Sim you vote for may end up in the death chamber.

 

Place: 2nd Harvest: 4 Tomatos ($18) Skills Gained: 1 cooking, 2 gardening Place: 3rd Harvest: 3 Lettuce ($9) Skills Gained: 2 athletic, 1 painting, 2 gardening

Note: All actions were done by Sims without my help except for the challenge.

Fifth Death: Aw, Brendan.

The votes have been calculated and here’s the results for the fifth sim’s death:

First Place Lucky Vegas Immune! ————————————- Third Place Kyle Winters 35% (26 votes)

Second Place Rita McFInnIgan 15% (11 votes) ————————————- Eliminated! Brendan Robinson 50% (37 votes)

Yep, this week returned to the norm. Brendan, who lost the challenge, got the most votes. Bye Brendan! You made it so far.

Since all the deaths have been used I decided to start at the beginning again. Brendan gets starvation just like Stephen.

Death came as he always does.

But he had some technical difficulty. I had removed the door as to entrap Brendan and I didn’t put it back in time for Death to get out. You’d think the guy that appears through the ground could make it outside without a door…my admiration for Death has been diminished.

Everyone was so sad to see you go. They’ve all become very attached over the last five weeks.

Only three sims left! The house is feeling very empty. Who will be the final Sim?

Week Five: The Handyman Can!

Final four people! You’ve made it half way through the series. Be proud. Kyle is just happy to be alive.

If you remember from the last entry, I asked the sims to reach level four handiness. To help them out, this week’s trip was to the library!

Lucky was freaked out by the random woman passed out on the floor…I have no idea why. Completely normal.

Some ghosts came to visit the house. I wonder if Lucky had a good sleep?

Charles’ ghost made an appearance too. I like his orange glow. Sorry to catch you at such an awkward time…

Spa Trip

The winners of last week’s vote (Kyle) and challenge (Rita) got to go to the spa this week. This week they got deep tissue massages. This is getting ridiculous. These two have been to the spa in week two, week four, and now week five!

Challenge

This week we’re going to have a handiness challenge! The original plan was the Sim who gets the furthest upgrading an object (the sprinkler) will be the winner. But you guys made this challenge as hard on me as you possibly could.

Let’s upgrade the sprinklers.

You all finished the sprinklers…so let’s upgrade stereos!

Only Lucky, Kyle, and Rita finished the stereos…only…so let’s upgrade showers!

Only Lucky and Rita finished the showers. YOU GUYS ARE MACHINES!!

Rita is going to take you down Lucky, just look at her face.

So the next morning *sigh* we have a head to head challenge. Bang those stoves with those hammers!

Objects Upgraded

Brendan: Sprinkler, Stereo (84%)
Kyle: Sprinkler, Stereo, Shower (71%)
Rita: Sprinkler, Stereo, Shower, Stove (70%)

First Place
Lucky: Sprinkler, Stereo, Shower, Stove (76%)

Wow! Good work Lucky. That means you went from the bottom of the challenge last week to the top this week! Good thing you didn’t get voted out! You have immunity from this week’s vote.

Vote
Remember: Vote for the Sim to be next in the death chamber! 

Place: 2nd Time: Sprinkler, Stereo, Shower, Stove (70%) Skills Gained: 1 athletic, 1 cooking, 5 handiness Place: 3rd Time: Sprinkler, Stereo, Shower (71%) Skills Gained: 1 athletic, 1 cooking, 5 handiness Place: 4th Time: Sprinkler, Stereo (84%) Skills Gained: 2 cooking, 4 handiness

Note: All actions were done by Sims without my help except for the challenge.

Fourth Death: What? Charles?

One-Hundred and four votes this week! Here’s how they were distributed: 

First Place   Rita McFInnIgan Immune! ————————————- Third Place Brendan Robinson 21% (22 votes) ————————————- Eliminated!   Charles Devoreaux 40% (42 votes)

Second Place Kyle Winters 9% (9 votes) ————————————- Fourth Place   Lucky Vegas 30% (31 votes)

Yes! You see right viewers! I did not make a mistake. Even though Lucky lost the challenge, she does not die this week! This is a Livin’ Sim first. Lucky has lived up to her name.

But unfortunately, that means Charles has to go. Everyone will miss you! (I’m not sure why Kyle looks so evil)

The only death left is by fire, so I gave you a fireplace. Let’s light it!

And poke it.

Oops!

Finally Charles was nothing but a pile of ashes and Grim came to save his soul.

Charles was not prepared to go.

But that’s just too bad and too late. Everyone will miss you!

If you’ll miss Charles, why not leave a comment on his page!

Now I usually end here but I have two requests from you guys.

First request is for those who still have living sims in the house. You guys all have at least 15,000 Lifetime Reward points so I’d like you each to tell me how you’d like them spent. As soon as I know, I’ll spend them.

Second request is for your Sims. I’ve left handiness books on your night stands and I need you to reach level four handiness for the next challenge.

(this doesn’t actual require input from anybody, I’m just mentioning it)

Thanks for your continued support! Stay tuned for the next challenge.

Week Four: Let’s Get Physical!

We’re down to five Sims! How far we’ve come. To get rid of the the stir crazy moodlet this week, I took everyone to the art gallery! OOooooo…no one was very impressed.

But once you started looking at the art it was okay.

This is Rita sneezing. It has no point or meaning but it made me laugh. Haha.

We had a few ghostly visits. Stephen’s ghost even cleans up after himself!

Ruby decided to start taking care of her health now that she’s dead…what it takes to make some people realize!

Even Joanna came to visit! She’s a very solemn ghost.

This is another random picture that cracked me up. The only thing I can think is that Rita is afraid Charles’ fish is going to turn into a dragon. Oh Rita.

Everyone had a birthday this week! Congratulations. You’ve all made it to adult-hood.

Spa Trip

The winners of last week’s vote (Rita) and challenge (Kyle) got to go to the spa this week. They received soothing salvation package. If my memory serves me correctly, I beleive these two have been to the spa together before.

Challenge

This week’s challenge is a cardio workout! The Sim who works out the longest will be the winner of this challenge!

Put on your running shoes!

Hang on Lucky!

The repair woman showed up half way through the challenge and she seemed rather weirded out by the mass exercise-a-thon.

Time Exercised

Lucky: 1 hr 57 min
Charles: 2 hrs 57 min
Brendan: 3 hrs
Kyle: 3 hrs 1 min

First Place
Rita: 3 hrs 40 min

No sweat, right Rita? You’re immune from this week’s vote!

Vote
Remember: You’re voting a sim into the death chamber. Vote carefully!

Place: 2nd Time: 3:01 Skills Gained: 1 logic, 2 athletic, 1 cooking Place: 3rd Time: 3:00 Skills Gained: 1 painting, 2 athletic Place: 4th Time: 2:56 Skills Gained: 1 logic, 2 athletic, 1 cooking, 1 fishing Place: 5th Time: 1:57 Skills Gained: 1 painting, 1 athletic

Note: All actions were done by Sims without my help except for the challenge.

Third Death: Farewell Joanna.

Another week and another set of votes!

First Place Kyle Winters Immune! ————————————- Third Place Lucky Vegas 11% (10 votes) ————————————- Fifth Place Brendan Robinson 32% (29 votes)

Second Place Rita McFInnIgan 8% (7 votes) ————————————- Fourth Place Charles Devoreaux 14% (13 votes) ————————————- Eliminated! Joanna Archer 34% (31 votes)

That means, just barely, the Sim to be eliminated this week is Joanna. You were so close! But Farewell Joanna.

I don’t think you wanted to go…

I don’t think Rita wanted you to go either. “Come back Joanna!” haha.

For Joanna I decided to get her to find out what happens when she sticks this screwdriver in here.

Oh… That happens.

But sadly death did not come.

If at first you don’t succeed! (You know the rest)

This was by far the scariest and worst death yet. I did not like it.

Ugh, so painful. *tear* Sorry Joanna…I’ve never electrocuted anyone before.

You seem to be in cahoots with old Grimmie. The fact that your ghost didn’t seem too sad to go made me feel a little better.

The house was terribly sad to see you go. These repeat deaths is getting hard on them.

Your grave is beautiful beside Ruby’s. Sorry to see you go! I’m glad to have you in the house. Come back anytime!

If you’ll miss Joanna why not leave a comment on her page?

Week Four’s challenge is coming! Stay on your toes household and checkback for an entry this weekend with the next updates. Thanks for reading!

Week Three: Checkmate!

It’s week three and we’re down to six house members!

After Ruby’s death everyone was getting the “stir-crazy” moodlet so I took them to the pool!

Brendan lost a breath holding contest with a little child that was at the pool.

The house was filthy so I hired a daily maid. Lucky seems to like her!

Joanna and Rita decided to play football in their underwear. (Joanna catches like I do…)

Look who’s  back! I don’t think Kyle was very happy to see Ruby.

Neither was Rita…

…as you can clearly see.

Joanna decided to start a fire this week.

Lucky was interested, Kyle was not.

Until the pretty firefighter came of course.

I can just see him explaining “Oh yeah, I was going to put it out but I figured I’d leave some for you since it’s your job. Y’know, don’t want to take the spotlight or anything…” You’re so suave Kyle.

Spa Trip

The winners of last week’s vote (Lucky) and challenge (Charles) got to go to the spa this week. They received volcanic clay baths. OoOoOoOoh. (Looks like Lucky could use a bath. haha)

Challenge

This week’s challenge is a chess match! I paired up partners by who the contestants have the highest relation with.

The winner will be decided by the wins to losses after everyone quits.

Wins-Losses

Joanna: 1-4
Brendan: 2-4
Lucky: 2-3
Charles: 3-2
Rita: 4-2

First Place
Kyle: 4-1

Nice work Kyle! That’s your second win in the competition so far! You’re immune from votes next week and you get to go to the spa! Breathe easy!

I left you guys a chess table so you can keep up with your logic skills.

Vote
Remember: Each vote sends that Sim one step closer to the death chamber! Be careful. Voting closes Wednesday.

Place: 2nd Rank: 4 wins, 2 losses Skills Gained: 1 athletic, 3 logic Place: 3rd Rank: 3 wins, 2 losses Skills Gained: 1 cooking, 3 logic Place: 4th Rank: 2 wins, 3 losses Skills Gained: 1 cooking, 3 logic Place: 5th Rank: 2 wins, 4 losses Skills Gained: 3 logic Place: 6th Rank: 1 win, 4 losses Skills Gained: 1 cooking, 3 logic

Second Death: Not Ruby!

The second week of votes have been tallied. Here’s how the Sims ranked:

First Place Charles Devoreaux Immune! ————————————- Third Place Kyle Winters 8% (11 votes) ————————————- Fifth Place Joanna Archer 14% (20 votes) ————————————- Eliminated! Ruby Fuzzled 46% (66 votes)

Second Place Lucky Vegas 6% (9 votes) ————————————- Fourth Place    Rita McFInnIgan 8% (12 votes) ————————————- Sixth Place Brendan Robinson 19% (27 votes)

With 46% Ruby is the second sim to be killed from the Livin’ Sim house! An ironic fact is that in the preliminary vote Ruby received the most votes to get into the house. Now she’s gone so soon.

Doh! Into the death chamber anyways!

Ruby’s death will be quicker than Stephen’s. Into the pool…in your formal wear.

Death showed up and threw Ruby’s ghost onto the grass.

And the whole house came out to mourn Ruby’s grave right beside Stephen’s.

It was wonderful having you in the house Ruby! I hope your ghost makes frequent visits.

If you’ll miss Ruby let her know with a comment on her page.

Cheer up Livin’ Sim house! Stay on top of your game if you don’t want this to happen to you. Week Three’s challenge is coming!

Thanks also to everyone who voted and check back Sunday to see the first week’s challenge and vote on who will be the first Sim to die!!

Week One

Welcome to the house everyone! (Brendan is obviously excited)

Stephen sees something he likes

Lucky doesn’t seem to mind

Everyone is making themselves at home

And Brendan starts a fire

No one is hurt and Lucky seems to think it’s art worthy

Spa Trip

Ruby and Brendan received a relaxing massage at the spa once they were settled into the house. I don’t think Brendan really likes the spa…but then again he always looks that grumpy.

Challenge

To help decorate the new house the first week’s challenge is a painting competition! Does Lucky have a head start since she’s artistic? Will Brendan do better because he’s a genius? Let’s see!

Paintings’ Values

Stephen:	$11
Lucky:	$12
Joanna:	$14
Brendan:	$15
Charles:	$15
Rita:	$15
Ruby:	$15

First Place
Kyle $16

Kyle is quite proud of his painting as you can see (even though I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be). Each Sim got to hang their own painting over their bed and one easel was left in the house.

Congratulationgs Kyle! You will receive a trip to the spa next week and you’re immune from votes this week!

Vote
Remember: Vote for the Sim you want to go! Voting closes Wednesday. The Sim with the most votes then will get removed from the house by death!

First Death: Poor Stephen

Votes are tallied and here’s the placement:

Second PlaceRita McFInnIgan 7% (9 votes) ————————————- Fourth PlaceBrendan Robinson 9% (11 votes) ————————————- Sixth PlaceLucky Vegas 12% (15 votes) ————————————- Eliminated! Stephen Moore 40% (49 votes)

That means the first Sim to die from the Livin’ Sim household is Stephen Moore! *sniff* The household said one last good bye to Stephen as he was taken to the newly built death chamber.

It took him so long to die he had a birthday in the death chamber…poor guy.

Starvation finally got him on the third day.

Grim Showed up rigth on cue.

His ghost begged for mercy but to no avail.

The household will miss him dearly (except Charles it looks like…)

Thanks for participating Stephen! You put a fight and went out nobly.

Leave a comment on Stephen’s page if you’ll miss him!

Good luck to the contestants still in the house. You’d better start practicing for Week Two’s challenge if you don’t want to end up like Stephen!

Week Two: Go Fish

Welcome to updates for Week Two! Thanks to everyone for joining in. Wednesday saw Stephen’s death and though the house is very broken up about it I think his ghost looks quite pleased with himself.

Lucky has been enjoying the easel that was left in the house from last week.

The house was getting disgusting so I hired the laziest maid ever…

Spa Trip

The winner of last week’s challenge (Kyle) and the Sim with the least votes (Rita) got to go to the spa this week and received “The Great Escape” package.

Even after the spa Kyle can’t get his mind off Stephen. Sigh. How sad.

Challenge

But the show must go on! This week’s challenge is fishing. Will we have an even playing field since no one has a fishing trait? Let’s see. Largest fish wins!

Everyone ready?

Cast off!

Uh… Brendan? Lucky? (Nice technique Kyle)

So after a rough start everyone got fishing.

Fish Weights

Ruby:	none
Brendan:	0.18  kg Goldfish
Kyle:	0.2 kg Minnow
Joanna:	0.46 kg Goldfish
Rita:	0.47 kg Goldfish
Lucky:	1.02 kg Rainbow Trout

First Place
Charles: 1.22 kg Rainbow Trout

 

Congratulations Charles. You get a trip to the spa next week and you’re immune from votes this week!

 A pond was built and stocked in the yard so you guys can keep practicing fishing! Joanna seems to like it already.
