The Big Sim Experiment!
<div class="IPBDescription">...starts soon. Ahem.</div> To clear things up before you think i'm a TOTAL psycho, this is all within the game "The Sims 2", ok? I have no plans to kidnap a real family.
I've finally found a semi-constructive way to use my time... torturing innocent sims!
I have plans for an "experiment" family who will be locked in a house for 100 days with no way out. They will be provided with everything they need to survive for this time via cheats, if the fridge becomes empty I will simply delete it and buy a new one, ditto with the trash. They will not be able to burn the house down since they will not be provided with anything capable of doing so until I deem them worthy of a cooker, or if I just get bored and feel like some chaos. Muahaha.
I will of course post the end results here with many screenshots, most likely in several installments. This will also be an interactive experience, feel free to suggest new methods of torture to inflict on the inmates, although preferably non-leathal, like removing the toilets and showers for three days. Muahaahaa.
Oh and also, they will all be given the romance aspiration. Just to make things interesting (and increase the probability of lesbianism which is the mainstay of any sim-story).
My plan calls for a cast of quirky characters, and damn it, I'm not very creative. I need some ideas for the eight inmates, be they actual people or just personality types.
For example, I'm planning on putting Gordon Freeman in there, as well as a psycho army guy, and probably a pirate simply because pirates are awesome, and there is a pirate costume already available. What I really need is female characters since I really can't think of any interesting ones (sorry girls).
Male or female, any ideas suggested should be as well-known as possible, and with the maximum potential for hilarity.
I'll probably start the experiment tomorrow, and have the first lot of screenies up by friday.

You know Samus popped into my head too, but there's no big freaking suit of body armour in the Sims 2's wardrobe, and without that it wouldn't be Samus. Besides the fact she doesn't have a personality outside of "kill stuff".
Sadly Jessica Simpson's stupidity could not be conveyed in a sim, but its a good suggestion nonetheless.

I dispute that, but you have to assume that the game isn't a simulation any more.
nuff said.

Rofl. Agreed.
Anyway you need eight right? Here is a running list of what you have in bold, plus my suggestions.
1.)<b>Gordon Freeman</b> (<i>Costume?</i>)
2.)<b>Army Grunt</b> (<i>Costume?</i>)
3.)<b>Pirate</b>
4.)Psychotic Serial Killer
5.)Clown / Mime
6.)Baby / Helpless Infant
7.)Soccer Mom
8.)Batman / Superhero of some sort.
YOU decided which ones should be female. The soccer mom CAN still be a man, as scary as that may seem.

Stick Nem0 in there. He can be the evil guy of the house who enforces the rules upon EVERYONE!!!
And call the experiment Bio-dome.
PM me or marce for a psych report. <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->
A bunch of sims are trapped in a house. We vote off who dies each week!

edit: yes, I realise now that nem0's eyes are in fact brown. It's too late now, he'll have to get green contact lenses otherwise he won't match his sim and won't be cool anymore. And we all know he's always worried about his popularity with us =]
May I be the first to say ... Ew!

So far the confirmed characters are:
Larry the lumberjack, by request of Allurhive,
Gordon Freeman (he managed to get time off from his busy schedual),
Cap'n Beardbeard, murderous pirate.
So still 7 slots to fill.
And a name could be:
Living with the Sims: A simsple life?
Slogan: "The only reality TV show that doesn't pussyfoot around!"
But when I read it it content, me as a sim, I am not sure if that is much better in the end... heh.
he definately needs to be in

In no particular order:
Gordon Freeman: you must have wondered what he's been doing since half-life 1
Cindy: Not quite Jessica Simpson, but close.
Larry: By Allurhive's request, a lumberjack "for homoerotic tension" has been included. Just remember it was HIS idea.
Arwen: Because there is a distinct posibility of lesbianism and elves are hawt.
Mimi: Insane mime, although I think the latter implies the former.
Buzz Nukem: Still a little peeved his brother got the computer game hero job instead of him....
Cap'n Beardbeard: Hungry for grog and wenches.
Super Jane: By Cold-Nite's request, it is SUPER JANE! Probably not what you had in mind. Her outfit alone scares evildoers to their very souls, or makes them fall about laughing.
House construction begins..... now.
Due to bad planning on my part (leaving my sims CD at home when i'm at uni), I am unable to actually build anything in TS2. Yes, I'm using a crack, but TS2 is vewy clever and doesn't let you use build mode even WITH a crack.
The big sim experiement will still be going ahead.... just not for six weeks when I go home for christmas <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
*edit* I can still post screenies of the inmates themselves later though *edit*
[You could have someone on the boards make the house for you if you can still import them.]

Well the thing is, they have to be locked in the house. Even if someone made the house for me, I couldn't delete the door, and there's no point in doing this if they can leave to greet the neighbours or pick up the morning paper <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I can't access the build mode, pure and simple. On the one hand its good to know Maxis has such good anti-hax0rness in place, on the other hand its a pain because situations like this arise.
