Robyn Fights a Mummy

The next day, Robyn went back into the pyramid. She found another room with more sarcophagi and, displaying that Sims actually don't learn anything at all ever, proceeded to look through them. This sarcophagus had glowing stuff inside this time, though, so Robyn was okay.

In a treasure room, she opened a chest that awakened the mummy of the king to whom this pyramid actually belongs. It's called the Tomb of the Rock, and the mummy's name has "roc" in it or something.

Anyway, he waited patiently for his attack.

And then!

After the fight, Robyn passed out for a while, and the Rock went back to sleep.

When she woke up, Robyn had only a few hours before she was magically teleported back to Twinbrook.

When Tara Met Richie. Also: Burglar!

At a party, newly promoted Rookie Tara talked to Richie Striker. She knew him from work, though they'd never talked much. He was cute and athletic, even if his wardrobe choices are pretty sad. Ick.

She was very interested, and asked if he was single. The answer was no. He was married to a lady named Stella and had a son named Sebastian.

Tara went home alone, still thinking of Richie. While she slept, a burglar sneaked onto the lot. She woke up and called the police, and then ran out to confront the thief.

I wish...oh, how I wish...that I had gotten a shot of Tara menacing the thief with her mad Sim Fu skillz. She crouched down and waved her arms around and was all "waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh-yah!" It was a thing of beauty. But my shutter finger wasn't fast enough. Dammit! Then the police came and used a little police brutality.

And won.

After a few days, Tara still couldn't get Richie out of her head. She knew it was wrong, but he just seemed so perfect for her. She invited him out for an evening on the town. They went to a lounge, but Richie's celebrity status wasn't high enough to get in. Tara invited him back to her home.

Things progressed pretty quickly from there. Richie was a little hesitant at first, but when Tara suggested skinny dipping in the pool, he was all for it. He waited while Tara jumped in.

Then he stole her clothes.

Poor Tara!

Richie went home soon after that...y'know, to his wife and child. Tara went to bed a little unhappy with him - she wasn't wild about being caught in public without clothes. But she still wanted to kiss him.

Erin and Bronson Sittin' in a Tree

One night, Erin was asked to go to the bookstore to sign copies of her authorized biography. When she came out, she ran into a handsome young man - in impressive duds - named Bronson Littler. Erin immediately started to chat him up.

He was hungry, but Erin persisted.

There was hugging and hand-holding...

...and then they shared their first kiss!

However, Bronson was so tired that he ran away soon after the kiss. Erin, thrilled about kissing him for the first time, went to bed and dreamed happy dreams. The next day was her day off, so she called Bronson up and invited him over. She was so happy that she leaped into his arms.

Boyfriend? Sure!

Robyn Goes to Egypt

As a published author - she's written a nonfiction book and several articles - Robyn was invited to Egypt to give school libraries her latest book. With her latest promotion to Professional Blogger, Robyn could finally afford the trip, so off she zoomed!

She delivered the book and then bought some supplies for adventuring!

Robyn then headed out to a pyramid to see what she could see.

Once inside, Robyn snooped around, picked up some treasure, and noticed some interesting sarcophagi hanging out in the room. She approached one, and opened it to peek inside.

Suddenly, Robyn was jerked inside!

When she came out, she looked a little worse for wear.

Abandoning the sarcophagus room for the moment, Robyn headed down a hallway...but suddenly!

She was too scared to try disarming the trap right away, so she contemplated a large boulder, which can apparently only be broken with a special axe.

Then she noticed the dive well and took a dip.

Scared and tired, Robyn set up camp outside the pyramid and went to sleep.

Tara: Coach. Dart Thrower. Table Dancer.

For reasons that I don't remember, shortly after Tara returned from China, she was graduated to a yellow belt, which she then decided to wear out. 'Cause, y'know, why not?

She happily ordered a round of drinks for the bar...

...but nobody seemed to notice.

(Eeeewww, why is she barefoot in a bar?)

So she played darts by herself...

...and went to Aquarius where she could swim and drink. What a winning combination!

Next in her lineup of awkward "going out" outfits? The next day, after she'd spent the day coaching toddlers (that's her job: Toddler Sports Coach) she decided to head to the Sports Zone and do some table dancing and play video games.

Tara, I know you're a party animal, but I'm not sure this is the most ideal place for table dancing. Just a thought.

Erin's a Party Girl

Celebrity status is very important to aspiring movie stars, so Erin has to hit the gym regularly to keep fit. Often she'll get a call from her agent - I don't remember hiring an agent, but whatever - telling her to go work out so she can get some more celebrity points.

She also gets gigs like the following:

Give some kind of speech or something at City Hall.

Cheer up kids at the hospital.

Buy a drink at a struggling venue. Yes, she gets paid to drink. Talk about unfair!

Dance. She gets paid to dance at dance clubs. Lucky.

The points and money she gets for completing these "tasks" are nice enough, but as of this picture, Erin was a three-star Celebrity. Someone had sent her a very nice couch, just because. I love Celebrity Perks.

On those nights when she is chasing stardom, Erin often doesn't make to bed until the sun is already up. I think we all wish we were Erin.
