After all the stress Bubblegum has been causing me, I decided to take a break from the Doll House (It's not cancelled, don't worry). Instead I'm doing a mini-challenge where 4 teams of 2 Sims each are living in their own individual homes & competing against each other to win upgrades to their house (better beds, better fridges & stoves, etc.), but every Wednesday, there's a Simmunity challenge (aren't I clever?) where the losers are sent to live in a dingy, horrible basement with only the bare essentials, after which one of them will be eliminated by the other contestants.

The current basement residents/losers is the red team, made up of Ling Ling and a vampire. Here's how the basement looks:

It's so full of trash because the vampire eats nonstop for some reason, and they can't trow away the trash, making them even angrier. It's a very horrible room.

Day 6 saw two toilets breaking and a shower also breaking. Kesha and Juan, the two nominees, reflected in the 'Room of Hope', where they pleaded to the Big Brother gods to save them.

EVICTION DAY (DAY 7): Everyone wakes up eager to shower and go to the loo, so I let the caged housemates out on their toilet break. 6pm, the housemates get gathered on the sofas. The host from outside announces that SimNation had casted 41% of their vote to save Juan, ultimately meaning that Kesha was the first sim to be evicted from the house. The housemates gathered around the red carpet leading to the front door as Kesha left the house. One down, fifteen to go...

Here is a picture of Kesha as she left the house...


(left to right) Shaniqua, Liam, Mary and Abby


Amber-May, Bobby, Aaron and Sonya


Courtney, Marcus, Brittany and Seraph


And finally Juan, Macan and Tom

UPDATE: I held the first proper reward/punishment challenge, it was a last man standing swimming contest, but right as the final three came up (Bobby, Macan and Liam), The game zoomed in and told everyone to mourn at Bobby and Macan (obvs meaning they were drowning) so I quit the game without saving. I know your just supposed to let them die, but my game is meant to be realistic, so no deaths. For all I know, Tom and Sonya quit first, so they got caged. If I remember correctly Shaniqua, Juan, Courtney, Brittany, Mary and Marcus got the dorm beds while Aaron, Amber-May, Abby and Seraph got the luxury beds.

I'm thinking of leaving those sims to where they are, and redoing the challenge for the Final 3. The plan for them was that the third place sim would get the last spot in the luxury bedroom and the two winners get the reward bedroom.

The House

^That is one of the nicest Big Brother houses I have ever seen. Possibly even better than the real ones. Keep up the good work! Really enjoying your series so far.

Thank you so much! Glad to know you are enjoying it. The first full story will be up on Saturday with the R/P challenge and the nominations!

I don't know if posting other people's Youtube series is allowed, but Youtuber Kpopp has an excellent "Hunger Games" series, which is essentially the Big Brother challenge with death challenges and rewards & punishments voted on by the viewers. Here's the link if anyone's interested:

Sims Big Brother 1 - Reward Time! (Episode 1)

I'M BACK, BABY!

So yeah, here's the story. It was about June when I stopped playing. Bubblegum's constant breakdowns were aggrivating me, and then the Steam Summer Sale left me with many new games to play, many of which I still haven't played. So I started playing those, went to England for 3 weeks, and forgot completely about The Sims and "The Doll House".

Then, today I started looking through some of the old chapters, and I realized how much you guys love this, and how much work I put into this, work that I don't want to go to waste. So I decided to revive the show! It'll be a while before the next chapter is up, due to school and glitches and other stuff, but it will be up. I promise.

tl;dr:I'm now actively working on Season 2 of the Doll House. See everyone soon!

Season 2, Episode 2: Buggy Places, Tight Spaces, and Weird Faces


Edit: What the heck, Photobucket?! Why are all my photos compressed? Sorry about this, guys. And so the buginess continues...
Edit 2: Alright, I got all the images back to proper size. And so the next trial in the test of Season 2 is complete...

Week 2: Not a single one of them want to use the running machines xD gaahh

Alright, so I decided to try this, since I've gotten bored with just playing. I completely randomized everyone, except for my first girl, who actually won the first challenge. We are at the start of week two.

Here is the "home":


I've made a minor addition to the challenge, where the loser of the week ends up in a special room. If they die, they die. I'm evil like that. If they lose, they can participate in the next week's challenge. Also, the winner gets immunity the following week of their winnings. I'm using this to knock everyone out of the house until there is a winner. The points will come into play if there is ever a tie.
I only did this cuz I felt the loser needed to be punished, and that elimination was needed. I thought it would be fun!
Here's the room, with the current loser:


Oh yea, and this is the mean-spirited asshole that I realllllly want to die:


I hate Vance so bad. He has all relationships in the red and is so rude to everyone!

Started this challenge last night, slightly modified! though still working on the setup. http://belissimosims.blogspot.com/s...ect%20strangers


[ETA] Week 1 Day 1 finished. Maybe I should have stuck with 8, LOL, as following 12 is hard work!

For those who are doing this challenge, do you find that the sims just stand around and do nothing pretty much the majority of the day? Right now they're in get to know each other week.

I inserted a mini-challenge setting three of them (teleported them) onto an inaccessible part of the roof where I placed exercise equipment, a mini fridge, and a stool. Left them there for over 24 hours and they didn't even touch the equipment. They ate a couple of times, flirted a few times, used Plumbbook, and peed themselves. Each were given a level 1 of athleticism to begin with, so you'd think that would be enough to interest them in a hop on the treadmill since there wasn't anything else up there to distract them.

Any other game, if I leave my sims to their own devices they usually do things that I don't want them to, but in this game, they have full control and they want to do nothing! Makes me want to flick them in the head, but I don't want to smudge my screen.

^Athletic week is usually the hardest week in the house as far as Sims actually participating goes. I find that unless the Sim in question is athletic, they won't autonomously use the machines. A solution is to give them a pool. Since they all have 1 point of athleticism, they will gain athletic skill from the pool, and they will use that autonomously, since it is technically a "fun" object.

I'm so in to this, third series already. Is it okay if i have a 2 story house and no garden? I brought a big house well not really (28 Sim Lane) and couldn't be bothered to build anything. btw, Day 4 of the third series and there is already some lesbian action!! And they woo-hooed in the double bed too! Anyway, this is fun and I can't wait to continue playing. Originally i got the idea from haighyorkie on youtube but at least you stick to the rules.

I have make my own weekly task. Is that ok if I make my own or I will just follow the above rules on your challenge????

Lower your guns! I don't have a new update (sorry), I just wanted to resurrect this thread because

1. I love this challenge, and would love to see more people have a go at it.

2. I was playing around with blueprint mode today when I noticed this one kitchen blueprint that looked oddly similar to my Season 1 kitchen. I'll see you in court, EA.

I am back!

Since it's been 10 months since my last attempt at it, I will restart my series. Once again, 16 housemates although this time there will be four celebrities and four returnees from the cancelled season. Since I have a new rather high end PC, I hopefully will have a smoother running game! House pics and sims pics to follow.

Hi there,

Just wanted to share a Big Brother YouTube series i started on Saturday.

I hadn't seen this post before and with my series i'm kind of "winging" it but i would love it you would check it out and see what you think?

I have my own YouTube channel and i have other simmers "voicing" the sims!

Would love to know your thought??

Laura! It's Evan here (HeyaEvan/ThisGamerEvan)

I don't watch reality tv for the most part. Big Brother was never an interest for me. But, I decided I needed something I could just let run while I was working on this difficult knitting pattern. Sometimes, I just need to look up for a few minutes. Due to this, I decided to give it a shot. The worlds that work best on my computer are the one from Supernatural and the one from Island Paradise. Which gave me an idea. Put them on an island with no way off and no house. They have 7 Tents, Three all in one bathrooms, and two fire pits. I did go ahead and throw in some fish and a few plants they can harvest if they wish. I randomized everything and as of Tuesday of the first week, I have discovered they will go until they are 3 hours from death before they will eat a roasted marshmallow. They haven't even shown any interest in fishing or gardening so I may end up with all my sims dead before the week is out. I figure last man standing gets the prize is going to end up being literally last man standing gets the prize. To make it clear... I didn't give them lights and there isn't so much as a mini fridge. Yeah.. they are all going to die. LOL

Looks like a lot of fun! Going to give this a try!!

I was right sort of... I lost one on Thursday and one on Friday. Since I can't send anyone home at this point, I awarded my winner by making them garden between 8 am and 6 pm So he now has control of the food. the rest I made clean the 3 in 1 bathrooms. I also gave everyone who managed to live through the first week a tomato. I didn't however tell them to eat it. I figure the one who waited until she was an hour away from death to eat it will be the next one to go.

this challenge sounds delightfully fun, and evil! right now though, im waiting for my challenge to get approval... I hope my challenge is a great hit, but its long. Ive only submitted two parts out of five to get approved by the moderator... wish me luck! oh yeah, if anyone is interested, its called "Evolution", you basically have to make it through five stages: caveman, medieval, Victorian, wild west, present day, and future (optional for people who have into the future), each stage is a challenge in itself!

Since the Sims 1 this has been one of the first things I tried out. In the first installment "last man standing" was about survival itself (because I put the guinea pig in there at a time where I had no idea that THIS was the thing that killed them. I thought they got a cold and installed a fireplace (I really did, it was the pre-internet-pre-walkthrough-pre-helpme-era), which brought more death upon them. They starved. They tried to eat drinks. They did not sleep anymore. They were stomping and waving. And than dying. This bigbrother-house became my first self-made cemetery in the game.

Sims 2 was far less dramatic, since they had some survival instinct and no guinea pig, but that's where I started to give out punishments. You destroy the toilet? You repair it. You pee yourself? You will have to clean the kitchen. You dare to engage in pillow-fighting? Have fun sleeping on the floor than. It's weird. I'm actually a nice person. But the amount of rules I came up with was astonishing, and so was the resulting torture.

The Sims 3's house never saw a winner, because once I found out that thanks to nraas I could stuff my house full with sims like never before, it didn't take me to long and I had a community of 32 people in there (2x16, even with mods there was no space for their portraits left ). All my BB-houses were simple popularity contests, meaning that every sim votes his most liked sim in an election for the house "speaker" who I'm allowed to control, for example to pay the bills and do other administrative tasks, and at the same time they vote the two sims they like the least to be evicted (always on Sundays, 6 pm). Having 32 sims cast votes and count them and write it all down and play that household for 30 weeks.... well.... I just gave up after 8 times, because they started to grow on me
