Hi Mum, it's Sammy clone 17 (part 9)

Why, why was River taken from us?  She was too young to die.  I loved her and Brooke needed her.  She shouldn't have died.

As if that wasn't bad enough, we had a midnight visitor.  A thief coming to steal things from our tiny little home.  Why?

I got up to ring the police, but getting up reminded me of my loss.  Everything reminds me of my loss actually.

He stole the new shower.  Part of the new bath I did just for River.  How dare he!

The police arrived in time.  The cop fought with the burglar and

Arrested him.  We even got the shower back.  But I'm still upset over the theft.  Between that and River's death, I've hit bottom.  I can barely cope.

I do have Brooke to look out for.  She's my only sunshine.  

I know I should be teaching her to walk and talk but I can barely bring myself to do anything.  At least I can play with her.

I'm trying to work on my next novel.  But after this session, the computer broke.  I haven't repaired much electronics, I'm not sure I can deal with this.

But I'll have to try.  Brooke is depending on me.  She has no one else.  I just hope it starts getting easier soon.

  1. Poor Sammy! How much bad luck can one sim endure? Wow. I don't think I've ever seen so much bad happen so quickly for one sim.

    I hope something wonderful happens for him soon. Brooke needs a happy daddy.

  2. Poor Sam is having a rough time now and bad luck followed him after River's death. It all happened after a birthday. I hope things will be much easier for him and Brooke and he will get his happiness back.

  3. I know. I couldn't believe that the night River died, they got a burglar. Honestly, you can't make that much rotten luck in game if you tried.

    I'm waiting for Sammy to get over the heartbreak. Then he can finally move on but at the moment, it's very bad. At least he is over the burglar.

  4. At least he didn't lose his shower. His plumbob is about as red as I've ever seen one. It's going to be a rough few sim days until he gets over that heartbreak.

  5. Oh, I meant to mention that. It's strictly mood that's making him red. He's in good shape physically, his needs are green or barely yellow. But that one pic with Brooke, it's just the death and burglary with no big positive moodlets to balance them.

  6. Wow. It's a good thing you can't die from such a bad mood. It had to have been bottomed out.

  7. Yep, he was as low a mood as a Sim can be. If low mood alone could kill a Sim, Brooke would be an orphan now.

    He's certainly barely coping. He has cooked a meal for himself, played and kept Brooke happy but not a lot else.

    I'm a bit worried about the idea of him fixing the computer. With his current luck, it doesn't seem like the best thing for him to do.

  8. Yes, it would seem wiser for him to take Brooke with him to the library. They have a children section with toys to keep her occupied.

  9. Yes, he should take Brooke to the library. She can play, he can socialize a bit and work a bit. Maybe read a book with Brooke for fun.

    Can you imagine, he was very happy with his life and new baby. Then it all came down with such a crash.

  10. Isn't that the way it is? You're flying high, life is grand and boom...it crashes. He's had it in threes, River's death, the burglar and his computer. I think he's had more than his share of grief.

  11. Poor Sam and his three x bad luck. I know I've called this the be cruel to Sammy blog but my share of cruelty was over since he had managed to make a living via writing. The game decided for me that wasn't enough.

  12. You just have to get through the mourning stage and things should turn up for him. If the game keeps throwing stuff at him you might have to throw him a bone and give him a little happyhappy.

  13. You can tell that he's very distraught. He isn't getting to Brooke nearly as quickly as Sammy usually does. She's actually gotten seriously hungry.

    It won't be long before the mourning period is over. I hope poor Sammy can recover soon after that.

  14. OMG, poor Sammy. What else can go wrong? They say bad luck comes in threes and this proves it.
    Sammy, I'm pulling for you and Brooke. You will survive this.

  15. Yes, they'll make it.

    I'm just glad that Brooke was too young and didn't get depressed as well. Unlike Sims 2 where toddlers feared the death of family and went red if it happened. Then again, toddlers in Sims 2 also had wants and could be made happy again quickly by filling the wants.

  16. Toddlers had wants in Sims 2? One thing in Sims 2 that intrigues me is the lightning bolt to indicate how good of a match two sims would be.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yes toddlers had wants. They wanted to learn to walk and talk. Once those skills were learned, they would want things like Mom to talk to them or dad to play with them.

    I'm not sure if you got the lightning bolts unless you had the Nightlife EP. But they were nice in that if a Sim were compatible, it was obvious. I never married a couple with less then 2 bolts of attraction.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yes, the lightning bolts were there without Nightlife. I believe they came with the base game. Could be wrong though. I think it had to do with the attractions. The likes and dislikes.

    They left a lot out this time regarding babies and toddlers.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Actually, I think I remember now. Nightlife introduced turn on and turn offs and attraction. Later EPs had those and the lightning bolts but they didn't have the orb that let you change turn ons/offs. The base game and University didn't have either.

    BTW - Sammy is a much happier and more relaxed Sim now.

  20. I'm glad to hear Sam is going better. He'll be more protective than ever of Brooke. When she's a teen and boys are flocking to her, he'll be one very eagle eyed Dad. Even more than usual.

  21. Glad Sammy is better.

    Now he can be happy again.
