jayeless_sims | The Coopers 3.7

Last time: Britta launched a campaign against Max Villareal’s leadership of the Renegades club… without success so far. She found love with fellow club member, Morgan Fyres. Julian and Claire were boring but happily married, so that’s good for them of course. Abed became a grown-up and joined the Social Media career.

The Coopers 3.7

Britta, Ulrike, Morgan and Max Villareal (now a teen) stand around in Windenburg at night

Ulrike invited the club out to the Discothèque Pan Europa.

the teenage Max Villareal, with a very mid-2000s lopsided emo haircut, stands around in Windenburg

Max Villareal is now a teenager! :O

a crowd, including Morgan, Ulrike, Britta and Stacey’s ghost, party on the dance floor

Minus Max (and Wolfgang who I think didn’t even turn up), they have a great night on the dance floor. The ghost of Britta’s grandma was there too, for some reason.

Achievement: World Competitor

This was initially very confusing. Then I realised that Claire had just (finally) been promoted to Hall of Famer! Well done Claire!! *party popper emoji*

Both Ulrike and Morgan: Honestly… I don’t really like Max.

good good

Britta tells Max, through the crowd, about trash

Britta: HEY MAX U R HUMAN TRASH
Max: D:

Britta tells Max, through the crowd again, about babies

Britta: AND U MAY HAVE JUST TURNED 12 BUT U R STILL A BABY
Max: >:|

Max says: I don’t really like leading Renegades. I think the members are really starting to dislike me.

d’you think

Britta tells Max he sucks

Britta: maybe you should step down as club leader then

Max yells at Britta about fire

Max: I will destroy you in a fire

Max says: Are you crazy, Britta?! This is MY club!

looks like failure de novo

Zoe Cooper is pregnant with Aron Riley; Elisha Boles is pregnant with Wolfgang Munch

In other news, yet another baby Cooper appears to be on the way, and the reason Wolfgang didn’t show at the club with his club friends is he was busy making himself a deadbeat dad.

Select a branch for Abed Cooper: Public Relations

Our art-loving, unflirty slob enters the heady world of PR…

Britta snoozes and Abed smiles in front of the TV. An inset shows Britta’s Angry moodlet: Cinema Sin

I did not know that Sims could fall asleep during movies without even being tired, lol! As you can see, Britta really hated Roaring Vice.

Max says: Hmm, I didn’t order a pizza, but I’ll gladly take one. It sounds scrumptious! You’re quite the salesperson!

For once, Britta manages a successful prank on her nemesis Max Villareal.

Melvin’s ghost, green, eats a slice of strawberry birthday cake

Geez, thanks for helping yourself to a slice of the birthday cake MELVIN… it’s not like we needed that for tomorrow morning or anything…

Britta strokes her chin, contemplating her blue confetti birthday cake

Britta blows out the candles

It’s Britta’s birthday!

Britta, newly a Young Adult, stands tall next to the cake

Here she is! She rolled the trait Bookworm, to go with her pre-existing traits Goofball and Clumsy.

Britta and Morgan Fyres embrace

Here to help Britta celebrate is her lovebird, Morgan! Finally they can embrace romantically again!

Britta tells Wolfgang about broken hearts

Britta: Do you know who’s a heart-breaker?
Wolfgang: Who?

Britta complains about Max to Wolfgang

Britta: MAX!! That’s why you’ve gotta support my campaign to overthrow him already.
Wolfgang: you mean that Max is… not good?

Britta asks Morgan to be her girlfriend

Britta: So, uh, Morgan, would you like to be… um, I mean… do you want to be my girlfriend?
Morgan: Hmm, I dunno.
Britta: oh :(

Morgan accepts Britta’s offer

Morgan: Just kiddding! Of course, I’d love to!
Britta: omg yay :D

Morgan and Britta take a photo of themselves

Both: CHEEEEEEEEEEEESE

Reward! Happy Birthday! Shame about the party. At least someone left a book as a present. It’s in your household inventory.

yeah well how about this game: stfu

Britta and Morgan, pyjama-clad, jump into bed

Britta and Morgan sleep in the same bed

Britta and Morgan have a cute lil’ sleepover ♥

Started pregnancy for Daisy Watts with Wolfgang Munch

Meanwhile, the still-unemployed Wolfgang fathers a child with an entirely different baby mama from yesterday. *deep breaths*

Adoption Notice: Kash Kiser was adopted by Skyla Caliente with their partner, Rachel Cooper

In other news, yet another baby Cooper!! Although I guess this one isn’t exactly a baby.

Stacey’s ghost, white, stretches wearily next to a broken bathroom sink

Stacey’s ghost: Oof, I am just sooooo tired after all the hard work I did breaking all these bathroom objects.

Stacey’s ghost, now orange, floats in a bathroom in which EVERY SINGLE ITEM IS BROKEN

Stacey’s ghost: Oops no, missed one. Now, why is this room such a dump?! Does no one fix things in this house?

Stacey, you are the worst.

Troy and Stacey’s ghost, the latter now red, sit at the kitchen table and smile at each other

I tried to get Troy to do the “Brighten Day” interaction or whatever to make Stacey happy but NOPE. Angry instead. why

Britta, Morgan, and some other Sim stand outside the Discotheque Pan Europa in Windenburg

The next day, Morgan asked Britta out on a date to the disco.

a crowd of people (smaller than before) dance on the dancefloor

The dance floor wasn’t really so poppin’ at 1 in the afternoon…

Morgan kisses Britta forcefully outside a wardrobe

Morgan and Britta step into the wardrobe

…but these two young ladies found an ingenious way to amuse themselves ;)

Wolfgang texts Britta: I don’t see the point in talking to Max any more. But I guess I’ll just put on a face…

How about you don’t put on a face and just back Britta’s coup already, Wolfgang?

Wolfgang, Britta, Ulrike and Morgan sit around in the Coopers’ living room

Britta: I think you all know why I’ve gathered you here today.
Morgan: Because I’m cute.
Britta: Uh, while yes you are, no.

Wolfgang talks about thumbs-down; Britta glares at him; Ulrike sits next to them and smiles

Britta glared at Wolfgang until he started saying the right things.

Then they all announced they had to go home. smh, don’t you guys know that the middle of the night is prime time for plotting coups?

Select a career for Britta Cooper: Social Media

Britta follows her older brother into the Social Media career, because after all she does love manipulating people.

near the graves outside, Britta talks to Morgan about thumbs-ups, while Morgan looks at Claire uncertainly

Morgan moves in to the Cooper household! As soon as she did I discovered that she was five minutes late for work though, so she rushed off to that.

Britta regales Ulrike with a story in the Coopers’ hallway

While Morgan is out, Britta continues her charm offensive.

snippet of Morgan’s relationship panel: she despises Max Villareal, with a 100% negative relationship

The charm offensive sure seems to have been effective on Morgan – she hates Max Villareal even more than Britta does at this point.

Britta tells Ulrike about a bear; Morgan sits and smiles nearby

Britta: You know, we’ve got to be strong, like a bear. A bear prepared to take our worn-out leader down.

Morgan Fyres in CAS, now with a ponytail

I gave Morgan a little makeover in CAS.

Melvin’s ghost, coloured green, happily points to a photo on Abed’s phone

Concerned that his social media profile wasn’t doing too well, Abed asked his grandpa’s ghost if they could take a selfie so he could try to amass likes from all those believers in the paranormal. Melvin agreed!

the Renegades (Britta, Morgan, Ulrike, Wolfgang and Max Villareal) outside the Bathe de Ril in Windenburg

The next day, Britta convenes a club gathering at the Bathe de Ril to settle the leadership question ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Morgan tells Wolfgang about how bad Max is, and in an inset Wolfgang agrees he doesn’t like Max’s leadership

With insider Morgan on the case, Wolfgang finally agrees that Max is a bad leader and not who the Renegades need right now.

Max sabotages a toilet

Meanwhile, downstairs, Max is sabotaging a toilet, because that’s the kind of idiotic nonsense club members have been instructed to do under his pathetic leadership.

Britta yells at Max about stinky shoes

Britta: Hey Max! Your leadership is as worn-out and gross as your stinky SHOES!

Max throws a drink into Britta’s face

Max: Oh yeah? Well how about THIS? *throws drink*

Britta tells Max about thumbs-down; Max looks sad

Britta: You see Max, these kinds of antics are why everyone in this club hates your leadership. We’ve had enough. With the full backing of the membership, I hereby appoint myself club leader!
Max: :(

Britta cheers, Max cries. An inset says: You did it! Your popularity with your Club members has made you a perfect candidate for new leader.

She did it!!! Max cries like the mean-spirited baby he is.

Remove Activity? Are you sure you want to remove this activity? This cannot be undone.

One of Britta’s first orders of business is to remove “Sabotage!” as a club activity because THAT IS FUCKING STUPID. Also, you guys are going to be permanently banned from the Bathe de Ril if you keep that shit up. So, NO.

Britta jeers at Max, calling him a monster

Britta: LOL you were basically a monster as leader, you know that?

Max laughs and goes on his phone; Britta looks indifferent

Max: Yeah?! Well let’s just see how you like it when I tell all of my 27 Twitter followers what a B you are!!
Britta: lol whatevs kid

Britta yells at Max in the swimming pool; Wolfgang swims nearby

The Renegades jump in the pool, and Britta takes this opportunity to declare Max her sworn enemy.

top: Zoe Cooper delivered 1 male baby! bottom: Britta’s relationship panel, showing she already dislikes her baby cousin Stephon

Britta has a new cousin! WHO SHE ALREADY DISLIKES, FOR NO REASON. wtf, Britta.

Aron Riley’s genealogy page

By the way, apparently Stephon’s dad Aron is one of TWELVE siblings. wtf game.

the Renegades, except for Max, chill in the swimming pool. An inset shows Ulrike saying: Britta Cooper makes the Renegades the only place that I want to be!

What a vote of confidence. Thanks Ulrike!

Max splashes the rest of the Renegades; an inset says: Max has failed to overthrow your Sim. She should probably take action to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

fuck off Max, no one likes you

Britta tells Max off; an inset says: Britta has kicked Max out of Renegades

Britta: Really, you want to try that with me? YOU ARE OUT OF THE CLUB! GET OUT!
Max: aww man :(

Britta and Ulrike hug

As the club gathering winds down, Britta and Ulrike become best friends! That’s just the kind of priceless reward you get when you back Britta in her leadership ambitions ♥

Britta scares a vampire; her Aunt Kelsi looks up, alarmed

Britta: BOO VAMPIRE! Why are you even out in the daytime? Go home!
Kelsi: wtf is my niece up to

the same vampire at the Coopers’ front door

As soon as the sun goes down, the same vampire appears at the Coopers’ front door. We ignored her.

Julian has been promoted to Cultural Connoisseur!

Not that it helps him much with his skilling, but Julian’s a cultural connoisseur now, yay!

Pregnancy Start: Started Pregnancy for Nicolette McLain with Wolfgang Munch.

holy f**k Wolfgang neither of your previous two kids have even been born yet. Cut this shit out!!

snapshot from Manage Worlds, showing Troy and Abed Cooper living in Daisy Hovel

The time has come for people who were not chosen as heir to move out of home and find their own way in life. Troy and Abed Cooper have moved into Daisy Hovel. (Christina’s family, who were living there before, moved into Streamlet Single across the road.)

Stacey is wondering if I want to meet her someplace. Park: Magnolia Blossom

Yeah uh Stacey, she already meets you every other goddamn night while you destroy everything in the bathrooms. No thanks.

Scooped!! Britta has been working relentlessly on an article. Ten minutes before she posts it online, a coworker posts the same article! Does she: Let it Go / Scoop them back

Obviously Britta chose to scoop them back. She takes no shit.

Britta’s coworker has vowed to scoop all of their future work. Now she wonders if this was such a great idea.

It totally was Britta, don’t get plagued by self-doubt now!

You’re the real deal. Everyone trusts your opinions when it comes to video reviews. They’re all waiting for the next one. Claire has gained 1,000,000 Followers. She now has 1,000,145 Followers in total.

omg Claire. Fancy sending some of those followers over to your kids who actually have jobs in social media?

Britta becomes an internet personality. Her current job title is Simstagram Searcher.

Humour and Hijinks Festival!

The Humour and Hijinks Festival is on again! Unfortunately, it took me probably like eight attempts before I could actually go there without my game crashing. In the end I had to open up MCCC and reduce the “maximum visiting Sims on lot” setting from 20 to 12. smh game

Britta, Morgan, Ulrike and Shirley take a glass of tea from the dark side at the festival

Originally I wanted Britta and Morgan to invite Ulrike and Shirley out with them, but as I said my game kept crashing…

Britta and Morgan take glasses of tea from the dark side of the festival

…soooooo in the end it was just Britta and Morgan. They joined the Pranksters, aka the dark side, because it seems like just what a Renegade should do.
