What a drama! We are half way done with the SimLOOK project, and after 25 days the mood has never been lower. This time we have to report 6 attacks and one test Sim leaving the house for good. 25 more days to come! 

The Sims Science team had several crises meetings during the project's past 5 days, as the temperature in the SimLOOK house got really bad, and there was only a question of time before the attacks would be executed. At our final meeting we decided to go on, giving the test Sims a fair chance to solve the conflicts they had caused, in their own way. It's never fun to watch your test Sims suffer this much, but given the hot tub would be repaired early on Day25, we gave it a chance - and lost. Magdalena left the SimLOOK house on Day24. There are now only 7 Sims left in the project, meaning we will no longer be able to check the extreme qualities that Magdalena represented. It's an individual tragedy for her, but also a great loss to Sims Science. 

This time Rita's journal includes a full day's IN THE SPOT report (Day23), but due to the circumstances, her report is packed with detailed information also on events in the house where she was not involved. On the project's main web page you will see the schedule of all the IN THE SPOT days, and there you can even help deciding who should be next IN THE SPOT.

Here's our 5th report, covering Days 21-25.

I'd like to take a closer look on how everyone's all over mood have developed during the past 25 days, in particular how their mood was so badly effected during the past 5 days, and of course - this will all take us to some comments on the relation between Sonia and Magdalena.

Let's start with a general review of their mood since the project started 25 Sim days ago. Every day at midnight we do check on their all over mood, and although this might be slightly effected by how well the room they are in at midnight is equipped, we believe that their long term mood changes will indicate their good and bad periods. We use a scale where the worst possible mood is -5 and the best is +5.

We were surprised to find that most of them kept a pretty good mood most of the time, but there are obvious tops on the days following a visit by the repairman, meaning the hot tub was fixed. The ultimate top this far was Day16+17, when the average mood was +3,3. Worst average mood was Day22 (-1,1) and Day4 (-0,3). The average mood has generally been pending positive, round +2.

During the last 5 days period, we had the worst average mood ever, Day21: +0,4, Day22: -1,1, Day23: +0,8, Day24: +0,6, Day25: +1,0. Day22, which was the worst ever, was the day when Agnes and Arthur had been stuck in one of the toilet rooms for 24 hours, making this low total score somehow less relevant as it was caused by the house construction rather than any test Sims' actions or relations.

It's very obvious that the all over mood gets lower when the hot tub has been disfunctional for some days, and the mood raises again when the hot tub is fixed. We knew the hot tub would be an important source for joyful communication, but we never expected it to be this important, as the house is packed with other fun facilities.

Another reason that the average mood has been very low the past 5 days, might be that many items have been repossessed, and most of the remaining items' value is lower as time goes by. This mainly effects the rom score, and the latter should not be very significant though, as the all over mood is also effected by i.e. hunger, hygiene and social activities.

Not all the test Sims' have reacted accordingly to group's average mood. Rita and Rasputiz are obvious exceptions, they even kept a rather good mood during the past 5 days, although they have been bothered with insults and attacks like the others. They seem to be less influenced by the all over situation in the SimLOOK house, and we know they don't share the others' urge for socializing. Sonia and Agnes had the definite worst mood for the past 5 days, closely followed by Arthur. Knowing about Arthur and Agnes being stuck for 24 hours, Sonia remains the one who must have been obvious affected by the tense situation.

Which leads us to the relation between Sonia and Magdalena. If you remember their cat fight on Day5, it was Magdalena who initiated most of the bad actions and who kept following Sonia, which surprised us because her personality was less mean than Sonia. Again, Day23-24, we noticed that Magdalena kept initiating the insults and scaring. She always disliked Sonia more than Sonia disliked Magdalena. Maybe that explains why Magdalena seemed more aggressive. Both ladies' average mood has been lower than the average mood score for the entire test group, nearly for all 25 days. Why they developed such a hate relation is not easy to point at, as they were both rather outgoing, and we would expect them to socialize in a good way. Maybe the fact that Sonia being extremely active while Magdalena was rather lazy, lead to some conflicts due to different needs of socializing. Also, we noticed that Sonia very often scares and teases the others but without really disliking them. Most of the others like Sonia less than she likes them. Seems to be the tragic fate of an extremely mean/active Sim.

I should mention the beds again. We noticed that nobody used the beds in the pink bed room, nor one of the beds in the white bed room, for the past 5 days. We found that strange, as there are not many beds left. When we checked this closer, it turned out that those beds technically were in use even though nobody slept in them or planned to do so. We had to replace them, meaning they are again available.

Although it's not strictly technical oriented; have you ever wondered why a Sim that is scared or even attacked doesn't move away, but just stands there waiting for the next negative action?

During the past days we have seen this very often, especially Sonia and Magdalena were stuck with each other waiting for the other's next bad move, They both were totally exhausted, dirty and bored, but they rather stayed to tease and insult the other than to turn on the tv set or even go taking a shower. This made no sense, although it made it obvious that a Sims nature has it's dark sides, where negative relations seems to overwrite all other needs at the moment.

The only need that really made them split was when a group meal was served. Then they ran off to eat, and we we are sorry there weren't more group meals to save them.

Another happening that some times split them, is when another Sim interferes. This might give one of the fighting Sims time to leave for fulfilling other needs, while the Sim who interrupted might be a new target for less friendly actions. In this way even more Sims' relation might get damaged, but it normally takes some time to build down a relation to a critical level, meaning this is still a better option to the situation at large.

When there are a couple quite negative relations, this seem to develop further, in a negative way, involving more Sims, and perhaps also leading to more serious conflicts. A Sim's free will doesn't seem to include rational thinking and actions in order to improve a relation that is already bad. They apologizes often, but even when the apology is accepted, the next minute they attack or scare again, meaning the apology can't be that whole heartily felt.

We are excited to see how the negative patterns will develop in the SimLOOK house now as Magdalena has left, and nobody really hates or bothers Sonia that much. Will Sonia nevertheless keep insulting the others? And who will be her new target?

• A - John
• B - Quentin
• C - Arthur
• D - Magdalena
• E - Sonia
• F - Rita
• G - Agnes
• H - Rasputiz

We are sorry that Magdalena left, but life in SimLOOK house goes on, in the name of science. There's now 7 test Sims left, and although most of them had some bad 5 days, there were also some fun, and we now hope the situation to improve as the hot tub was repaired on Day25.

On Day23 we had the first attack, read about it all in Rita's IN THE SPOT report.

The repo man visited and repossessed one of the computers. Her has frequented the house regularly as none of the bills were ever paid. We still have not replaced any of the repossessed items, and we will not do so until the situation gets real critical depending on those items.

In each test Sim's journal, their worst friendship is listed only if their worst relation is below -10. Best relation is listed only if the friendship is above 20. 

• A - John
• B - Quentin
• C - Arthur
• D - Magdalena
• E - Sonia

Except from falling asleep standing on two occasions, John had 5 fairly good days in the SimLOOK house. His relations to the others have not changed much, his best relation is with Agnes, who likes him enough to be considered a friend, but John is not as enthusiastic about it as she is. Their relation has even faded some compared with Day20. His relations to Arthur and Sonia have both faded, while John has gained some towards Quentin. On Day21 he was observed in the library talking for a while with Rasputiz.

John did a fair job housekeeping, and watering plants in particular. He threw away the dead cactus on the terrace on Day24. 

John and Rasputiz played chess on Day21, giving John 1 skill point, he even won the game.

Good moments from playing with the SimRailRoad, and dancing to the stereo with Rasputiz on Day24 and with Arthur on Day25. John also had fun with Agnes on Day25, when Agnes joked and entertained him, although she also tickled him twice which John didn't like.
On Day24 John went to the kitchen to talk to Rasputiz, but Rasputiz was busy, and instead Sonia appeared to slap John.

John was involved in the upstairs bathroom chaos on Day22, maybe he caused the whole thing as he fell asleep standing there and blocking Magdalena, Quentin, Sonia, Rasputiz and Agnes from moving. Again on Day24 John fell asleep standing in the bathroom downstairs, blocking the others from entering the Gym.

A very bad period for Quentin! 3 times he collapsed, and during 4 hours on Day25 he was attacked twice by Sonia. He really dislikes her now (-47) - no wonder. In addition he talked a while with Agnes on Day21 resulting in a bad relation which was not registered on Day20. He has also talked with Magdalena and Rasputiz. The only relation he has improved is to John, but it's still far from making the headlines.

Quentin did a great job cleaning and serving meals, but he watered no plants at all. On Day25 threw away one dead terrace jade plant, which is the 2nd plant dying.

Quentin had fun from playing the SimRailRoad set with John on Day21, and dancing with Arthur on Day24. He also joined a couple group meals. But most fun he gained after the hot tub was repaired on Day25, he spent 2 hours in it.

Quentin had several negative experiences during these 5 days. Being stuck in the bathroom upstairs and having a bladder accident on Day22, was nothing compared to being attacked by Sonia twice on the terrace during Day 25, Sonia won both times. It probably started on Day22 when Sonia slapped him in the bathroom Day22, they both were in a bad mood but their relation was pretty much zero. Early on Day25 Sonia started to insult him, and after the second attack on Day25 Quentin disliked Sonia a lot (-54) while she doesn't seem to have a lot against him. Their relation would have been a lot worse if it wasn't for Sonia apologizing to him three times, and Quentin accepting each of them.

On several occasions Quentin collapsed and fell asleep. First Day22 he collapsed on the terrace, then in the kitchen/dining room doorway on Day24, and finally in the atrium next to the hot tub on Day25.

Best relation: none
Worst relation: Agnes

5 terrible days for Arthur, as he was stuck in a tiny toilet room for 24 hours on Day21/22. We considered driving into Simmerville to break down the wall to set him and Agnes free, but as they were asleep we thought it might have damaged the project too much. On Day22 at 6:45 we no longer had a choice; as both Agnes and Arthur were awake but still stuck, we hurried out there and removed the toilet for long enough to free them. Afterwards we reckon that this situation might have been the start of the bad situation in the SimLOOK house, leading to Magdalena's departure on Day24. Arthur used the kitchen sink when it broke on evening of Day24, but he was also the one who called the repairman on Day25.

Arthur's tense relation with Magdalena is history as she left the house on D24, but instead his relation to Agnes is now real bad (-77/-74), based on their drama being stuck in the toilet room.

Arthur served the most meals during these 5 days, but he watered no plants at all.

Had fun with Quentin and John, dancing with them in the FUN room on Day24 and Day25. He also joined a couple group meals, and spent 2.5 hours in the hot tub (Day25). 

Day21 and Day22 was terrible for Arthur, as Agnes entered the tiny toilet room he was using, and they were both stuck in there for 24 hours. It took this long because they both got exhausted and fell asleep standing there. When Agnes woke up half way, Sonia was in the bathroom blocking Agnes from leaving Arthur. On Day22 Arthur had a bladder accident in the dining room, and Sonia started to tease him until he cried. On Day25 his relation with Agnes was damaged (-87/-89) because Agnes slapped him in the hallway upstairs.

Arthur fell asleep twice during Day21 while Agnes was blocking him in the tiny toilet room. Then on Day25, just after he had called the repairman at 8AM, he collapsed on the terrace and slept there for about 4 hours.

Best relation: Agnes (D24)
Worst relation: Sonia (D24)

Magdalena has left the SimLOOK house! Days22-24 were like one everlasting nightmare to her, although she pretty much contributed to it herself, insulting Sonia repeatedly and finally starting the fight with Sonia, which Magdalena lost. 

Before she left, Magdalena's relation with Agnes reached 82/82, and was still growing. Nevertheless, no surprise her relation to Sonia was -100/-100, and if the scale was wider, we are sure their relation would have been something like -300/-300 based on their endless insulting, teasing and scaring D22-D24.

Magdalena did a very poor job housekeeping during these 4 days.

Magdalena played chess with Rita on Day21, they played for 90 minutes, long enough for Magdalena to gain her first logic skill point, and she even won the game, despites Rita having 8 logic points! Maybe Rita let Magdalena win on purpose?

Her only joyful moments were by joining 3 group meals.

The list of Magdalena's bad moments is too long to dive into details. In short; she was involved when many of them were stuck in the bathroom upstairs on Day22, that was the first time we observed Sonia intending to attack Magdalena. Their relation got worse during the day, from insulting and scaring each other. At this time their mood was bad (-3). At 2PM Magdalena hated Sonia for the first time (-100), while Sonia still disliked Magdalena (-63). Most of the time it was Magdalena who bothered Sonia.

Check out their actions on Day22 between 8-10AM: M slaps S, S slaps M back, M insults S, S insults M back, M teases S who cries, M apologizes to S not accepted, M teases S who cries, M teases S who cries, M scares S, M teases S who cries, M scares S, M insults S, S insults M back. We don't even care to mention that Magdalena had a bladder accident when stuck in the bath room.

The IN THE SPOT report Day23 can be found in Rita's journal, Magdalena and Sonia were fighting most of that day, too.

Then, in the dining room on Day24 between 10AM-2PM: M apologizes to S not accepted, M insults S, S insults M back, M brags to S, M insults S, S insults M back, M scares S, M slaps S, S slaps M back, M teases S who cries, M slaps S, S slaps M back, M slaps S, S slaps M back, M scares S, M apologizes to S not accepted, M insults S, S insults M back, M apologizes to S not accepted.

Then they split for a few minutes, Magda followed Sonia into the kitchen to apologize to S not accepted, Magdalena talked for a while with Agnes, and entertained Agnes twice which Agnes applauded, and we started to grow a hope that if Magdalena's mood improved, she might stop following Sonia. But then, just after 4PM still in the kitchen, Sonia slapped Magdalena, who slapped back. This was the first time Sonia made the first step in a long time, and perhaps that was the trigger who made Magdalena attack Sonia in the kitchen at 5PM. She lost the battle, and left the SimLOOK house for good on Day24 at 5:25PM.

Best relation: John
Worst relation: Agnes

From the diagram above, it's easy to tell that Sonia's 5 days in the SimLOOK house was terrible. She was in a pretty terrible mood most of the time, and she attacked Rasputiz once (Day23), Rita once (Day24) and Quentin twice (Day25)! She was also attacked by Magdalena on Day24, and because of Sonia gaining 2 body points from swimming on Day21, she won all the battles, and even made Magdalena leave the SimLOOK house!

Sonia didn't spare the others either, Arthur was scared and teased Day22, and Agnes was teased on Day22, John was slapped on Day24. When Magdalena, who was Sonia's enemy number one, left the house, we were worried about who Sonia would aim her anger at next. But thanks to the hot tub being fixed on Day25, it looks like the project again will be facing some peaceful days.

Sonia doesn't have any good friends, she likes John the most (43) but her feelings are not being responded to. She reached -100/-100 hate towards Magdalena, and is disliked by both Quentin (-47) and Agnes (-34).

She did a poor job housekeeping.

Sonia has been active before playing basket ball, so we were not exactly surprised that she jumped into the swimming pool on day21. What surprised us was that she stayed in the pool for more or less 5 hours including a couple breaks, gaining 2 body points during this session. Due to this extreme exercising, she was able to win several attacks during the past 5 days.

Like Magdalena, Sonia too had her few good moments from eating with the others. But after the hot tub was repaired early on Day25, she spent more than 4 hours in it. Most of these days Sonia's mood was terrible (-4), but already end of Day25 her mood was improved a lot (+2).

Sonia's horror week started with a bladder accident on Day21. After this she constantly had a bad mood, periodically even terrible when she was screaming while tearing her hair etc.

Sonia was involved with the chaos when many of them were stuck in the bathroom upstairs for hours during Day22. Sonia in a bad mood insulted Magdalena, while Quentin insulted Sonia, as if he was protecting Magdalena. Both Magdalena and Quentin was in average mood at the time. Next we knew was that Sonia wanted to attack Magdalena, but in the packed bathroom hardly anyone could move as they wished, Sonia had to let go on her intention. Again Sonia had a bladder accident, she slapped Quentin who was now in a bad mood slapping back, Magdalena tried to apologize to her several times but Sonia refused. Magdalena now hated Sonia (-100), and Sonia disliked Magdalena (-63). 

Please read the IN THE SPOT report on Rita's journal Day23 to check out how Sonia attacked poor Rasputiz and how her relation to Magdalena got even worse.

Day24 was even worse to Sonia, as Magdalena kept following her initiating slaps and insults, which Sonia naturally returned as she was in a terrible mood all day (-4). Please read Magdalena's journal for details on their relation. Sonia also slapped John in kitchen, then she wants to attack poor Rasputiz again although their relation was only -8/-4 and Rasputiz' mood was good. It did not take place, though. Then, still on
Day24 in kitchen, Magdalena arrived to talk with Agnes while Sonia wanted to attack Magdalena, then instead Sonia was insulted by Agnes (protecting her friend Magdalena?), and finally; Sonia got a chance to slap Magdalena which probably trigged Magdalena into attacking Sonia at 5PM. Sonia was the strongest (2 body points while Magdalena had 0), and Magdalena left the house for good.

Sonia was of course in a terrible mood also after Magdalena left, and later on Day24 just before 8PM, she attacked Rita in the kitchen, Rita was in a poor but average mood and their relation was like zero. Rita has not bothered Sonia, so this looked like blind violence to us. Sonia won.

Also on Day25 Sonia had a bladder accident, on terrace, she then started to bother Quentin although their relation was just below zero. While the repairman was fixing the hot tub downstairs, Sonia attacked Quentin and won. She kept slapping and scaring him, but every now and then she apologized which Quentin always accepted, so their relation was only slowly damaged. About 2 hours later Sonia attacked poor Quentin again and won! It all resulted in Quentin strongly disliking Sonia (-54), while Sonia hardly had anything against him - strange.

Best relation: none
Worst relation: none

Rita is an easy going test sim, she seems to be happy if there is some food, a tv set, a book to read, and and a bed - and of course a chess table. She doesn't get much involved with the others, so both she and we were surprised when Rita was attacked by Sonia on Day24.

She has no friends, there's nothing more to say about that. Biggest change is towards Sonia, they had a vague positive relation until Day24, now it's negative (Rita dislikes Sonia the most) but nothing serious (yet).

Rita did a very good job cleaning, and proved that her surprisingly low effort revealed in Day16-20 report's was an exception.

As usual, Rita played chess a lot. 2 hours on Day21 (with Magdalena), 2 hours on Day22, 5.5 hours on Day24, and 5 hours on Day25. She got 1 more logic skill point from this.

Due to her interest in playing chess, we should say she had a lot of good moments, but playing chess does hardly add to her social network. In that matter, her only positive moments were from eating with the others an a couple occasions.

On Day24, only a couple hours after Magdalena was forced to leave the house, Rita was in the kitchen when Sonia attacked her! Their relation was just below zero, and Sonia won. On Day25 Rita had a bladder accident on the terrace just after eating a burger.

At midnight John is asleep, Rasputiz is about to jump into the swimming pool for the very first time, Agnes and Arthur are talking in the dining room, Sonia and Magdalena are asleep both in one bed room (due to the serious situation on Day22 we ought to keep an eye on these two women as well), Quentin is asleep after collapsing on the terrace, and - Rita is just done at one of the toilets downstairs. Day23 is about to start!

Rita takes a shower, and stays in the tiny shower room for a while. Then she decides to jump into the swimming pool, but after walking the diving board she changes her mind and gets dressed again. We notice her mood is still high (+4), so we don't know why she changed her mind.

2:10AM: Rita is cooking herself a quick breakfast. She is not obviously hungry, but seems to have all her other needs fulfilled, too. She then brings her dish to eat in the dining room, where Agnes and Arthur are still talking (or rather Agnes trying to tickle Arthur), and Rasputiz is asleep on the tv sofa. She finishes her meal at 3:05AM and then cleans a couple dishes to clean them in the kitchen. Agnes is still trying to make jokes to Arthur, who protests. Both Agnes and Arthur are in a rather poor mood. So is Quentin who has has woken up on the terrace, now coming downstairs. Rita is still in the kitchen, picking up 2 dishes there to clean them.

At 4AM Rita walks over to the FUN room to bet §10 on the slot machine, and she loses. But she tries again; another §10, are lost. She then uses the toilet although she did just a couple hours ago, she now returns to bet §10 more on the slot machine. In the mean time Arthur, Agnes and Quentin have entered the FUN room as well. Rita loses again, but retries, and finally wins! Agnes slapping Arthur and then Arthur slapping Agnes back doesn't seem to bother Rita. Their relation was about zero in the dining room a couple hours ago, but is now -55/-63! Instead Rita tries to win more on the slot machine, but fails. Agnes apologizes to Arthur but he denies. Their mood is now -4 (of -5). 

It's now 5:30AM, Rita is getting sleepy and leaves Agnes and Arthur fighting in the FUN room, heading for some espresso in the kitchen. In 30 minutes we expect the fighters Sonia and Magdalena to wake up, and sorry Rita, but your IN THE SPOT day seems to be ruined by other more dramatic events in the SimLOOK house than playing slot machine and drinking espresso.

At 6:10 Rita heads for the toilet (again!), Arthur and Agnes has been scaring and slapping in the FUN room, Sonia has left bed while Magdalena is still asleep, Quentin is playing computer games in the library, and - Rasputiz might save the situation between Agnes and Arthur because he is about to serve breakfast. Food is the only thing that can change one Sim's mind! Wrong - Rasputiz only made his own breakfast, but Arthur decided to use the toilet, so perhaps we can focus on Rita again. She walked over to the dining room to sit on a chair, but now she heads for the bathroom to brush her teeth. And perhaps that was a smart move, cause Arthur is there to compliment her. But he changed his mind when Rita just left to sit on that dining chair again (she is getting quite sleepy), and Arthur takes a shower instead. 

It's 7:20 AM, and upstairs, Magdalena has just left bed. Sonia is in the bath tub, and Magdalena seems to know, because she is planning to attack Sonia!!! (sorry again, Rita...). Magdalena hesitates a little, then she decides to tease Sonia instead, and runs off to the bath room! To Sonia's rescue, Magdalena can not touch her while she is in the bath tub, and now Magdalena stands there blocking Sonia from leaving the tub!

In the kitchen there's heavy traffic right now as both Rita and Quentin wants to make their own breakfast, and Agnes want to SERVE breakfast. John is cleaning some dishes. Oh no, not again... due to the waiting Agnes prepares only her own breakfast... 

8:30AM: Rita is done cooking her meal, and goes to dining room to eat it together with Quentin already seated there. Arthur arrives the kitchen to apologize to Agnes again, but she is busy at the stove, and will probably not pay him much attention but rather join Rita and Quentin, and Arthur goes to bed. Upstairs Magdalena so much wants to insult and scare Sonia who is trapped in the bath tub. The situation is locked, but as soon as Magdalena leaves the bathroom and Sonia leaves the tub, the absolute (and final?) drama will begin!

9:56 AM: Rasputiz did it! He just served a group breakfast on the kitchen counter! The tense situation between Agnes and Arthur was solved by Arthur going to bed, but Rasputiz' serving means that Magdalena will rush to the kitchen, and probably will Sonia follow her, as they are both very hungry. And there seems to be room for both to eat in the dining room! Rita will be saved from the final fight after their meal, as she went to bed 10AM sharp. On a normal IN THE SPOT day we will not follow any of the others' actions while the main person is asleep, but Day23 is an exception.

10:30 AM Sonia gets seated opposite of Magdalena, their relation is now -97/-71. Magdalena talks with Rasputiz while eating. In the kitchen John is eating his 2nd breakfast, while the phone is ringing. Agnes is in the shower. Rita, Arthur and Quentin are asleep upstairs. 

11:05AM both Sonia and Magdalena finish their meal, they still sit at the dining table, Rasputiz might have sensed the temperature, cause he just left the room! Now it starts! Sonia stands up, about to brag to Magdalena. Magdalena stands up, Sonia screams for some fun, while Magdalena shouts about how much she needs a shower, Sonia changes her plan and scares Magdalena instead of bragging to her. It's 11:30AM in the SimLOOK house; the scaring results in an even worse relation, now -100/-76. Sonia now slaps Magdalena, which Magdalena responds to by slapping Sonia back! -100/-86. Magdalena then scares Sonia, -100/-96. It's 12:15 PM (who cares about the clock...), and Magdalena wants to apologize to Sonia, but naturally to no use - it's too late; -100/-100!

12:40: Magdalena insults Sonia who insults back, Sonia teases Magdalena who cries, then both cries, Sonia teases again, more tears, they both scream for fun although they are standing next to the tv set. Agnes enters the room to nap on the tv sofa while Magdalena scares Sonia. Magdalena teases three times, they both insults, Rasputiz enters the dining room to clean the table. Sonia scares. Then also John enters the dining room to tease Sonia, but he brags to her instead! This seems to split Sonia and Magdalena anyway, as Magdalena leaves to use a toilet and then to shower. Sonia slaps John instead! John cries, and walks out to the atrium where Rasputiz wants to talk with him, they talk for a while quietly, then Sonia comes to brag to Rasputiz, but the second Rasputiz and John end their conversation, Sonia attacks poor Rasputiz! Sonia's mood is -4, Rasputiz is +2. Their relation was 0/0, in other words, we see no reason why Sonia should attack Rasputiz!!! What a drama, in other words; Sonia is a ticking bomb who can attack just anyone!!! Rasputiz has no body points although he has been in the swimming pool twice today, while Sonia has 2 body skill. But Rasputiz has 8 logic skills and Sonia only 1, will that help him now? At 4:25 PM the fight is over, Rasputiz lost, Sonia remains in the SimLOOK house to attack more of the test Sims! Rasputiz mood is now lowered to +1, Sonia is still -4. Relation lowered to -10/-5. We did expect Rasputiz to leave the house, but he doesn't, instead he goes for a meal! Sonia cries. It seems that a fight will cause the losing Sim to leave only if their relation is real bad.

6:01 PM: Rita just woke up, and is now taking a bath upstairs, not knowing that Rasputiz has been attacked, and that Sonia and Magdalena have been fighting all day. Rita's mood is +2. Right now John is serving breakfast, Quentin is in the bathroom downstairs, Agnes and Arthur are arguing in the dining room, Magdalena is in the FUN room playing with the 3d glasses, not knowing that Sonia stands in front of her waiting to attack her!, and Rasputiz is on his way to bed. It looks to be an exciting evening in the SimLOOK house!

On top of the Agnes/Arthur and Sonia/Magdalena conflicts, at 6:23 the repoman arrives to repossess more furniture. He repossesses one of the computers in the library, no serious loss.

6:40 PM John serves dinner, and Sonia leaves Magdalena just as Magdalena removes her 3d glasses, and goes for dinner, too. Food seems to solve more dramas than we could imagine. Now Rita is arriving the kitchen too, and except Rasputiz who is asleep, all of them are now in the kitchen or dining room. Rita is talking a lot while the group eats standing in the kitchen. Not all got food, but they are still there. Oh oh, Sonia is done eating, and now she wants to slap and scare Rita! Don't stop eating Rita! Agnes arrives and gives Magdalena a back rub. Rita cleans her dish, and Sonia has decided to scare Agnes instead - Rita is safe! She walks to the toilet, while Magdalena and Sonia slaps each other in the kitchen. Agnes is there too, will she be able to help Magdalena? Yes, she tickles Magdalena and they both laughs, and then they start to talk. Rita is in the FUN room, betting §10 on the slot machine. She then plays with the 3d glasses. Phone is ringing 9:45 PM, and Rita runs off to answer it in the Gym. So did Agnes in the kitchen; both get a silly joke message.

10PM: Rita is on her way to take a bath upstairs, Sonia is on her way to bed in the aqua room, John just finished eating in the dining room, Quentin is in the shower, Agnes and Arthur are playing the SimRailRoad set in the FUN room, Magdalena is eating in the library, and Rasputiz is still asleep upstairs. Agnes apologizes to Arthur, and he accepts!!! Their relation is still -89/-81 though. Magdalena goes to bed, again she chooses the same bedroom as Sonia! Rita is done bathing at 11PM, and heads to clean up a dish in the pink bedroom, before she cleans the bath tub. She is in a very good mood (+3). She waters the palm in the bathroom, and now she even cleans the toilet! They don't need a maid while Rita is around.

It's midnight on Day23, and Rita is on her way to water one of the balcony plants, John has fallen asleep standing at the bathroom sink downstairs, Quentin and Agnes are in the bathroom too, Arthur in the FUN room heading for the swimming pool, while Sonia, Magdalena and Rasputiz are asleep upstairs.

Agnes had some pretty bad days, mainly caused by being stuck with Arthur inside one of the tiny toilet rooms for 24 hours Day21/22. We had to drive out to SimmerLane #4 to free them. Agnes was also involved when most of the household members were stuck in the bathroom upstairs on Day22, but she was in the room for only a short while. 

Agnes lost her best friend when Magdalena left the house on D24, their relation had reached a very strong level (82/82).

Agnes also likes John very much (62) although their relation has been fading some over the past 5 days, and it still is an one way affection. On Day25 they had quite much fun together, Agnes entertaining John who applauded, and he also laughed at her jokes. Unfortunately she couldn't behave and tickled him twice without his accept, which probably damaged the good feel they had built. Nevertheless, their relation is currently the warmest in the SimLOOK house, and it has been rather stabile over the past weeks. This might build up to Agnes' new friendship if nothing interrupts.

Agnes relation to Quentin has slightly improved, but it is still the 2nd worst relation in the SimLOOK house and they really harmed their relation on Day21, mainly from Agnes giving back rubs and tickle sessions against Quentin's will.

Agnes' relation to Sonia is negative, but nothing dramatically and has not changed much over the past 5 days. 

Her relation to Arthur was like zero until Day23. Due to their xxx they suddenly made a very bad team, and on Day25 their relation was -77/-74 which is quite bad, actually the worst relation in the house. On Day25 Agnes slapped Arthur when she ran into him in the hallway upstairs, she apologized to him and he accepted, otherwise their relation would have been close to total hate. 

On Day24 Agnes had some trouble getting to sleep on the tv sofa in dining room. The tv set was on, and she tried hard about 6 times to nap on the sofa, and she also collapsed twice on the floor, before she figured it would be smart to turn off the tv set first. She was quite exhausted after this, resulting in a low mood.

Her mood has been very low all these days, probably based on being stuck for 24 hours - no wonder. Besides, she is the one who have probably spent most time in the hot tub which was broken until it was repaired on Day25. Agnes started to act like Sonia in the end, screaming and pulling her hair, when her mood reached -4. Maybe she missed Magdalena so much.

She did an extremely poor job housekeeping and serving meals. She cleaned something only once, and didn't water any plants or serve any meals at all.

She had a good time joining 3 group meals, and on Day25 sitting in the hot tub for 1 hour only. Biggest joy was when her friend Magdalena entertained her in the kitchen on Day24, shortly before Magdalena was forced to leave the house. Their relation was very strong (83/83), and Agnes will surely miss her. 

On Day21 both Agnes and Arthur were stuck in the tiny toilet room downstairs. It wasn't really Agnes' fault, although she caused the blocking when she entered the tiny room to give Arthur a back rub. For 24 hours they were stuck, followed by Agnes having a bladder accident in the bathroom downstairs on Day22. Later on that day, several test Sims were stuck in the bathroom upstairs, and although Agnes hardly was in the room, Sonia teased her until Agnes was crying. Day24 Agnes was partly involved in the build-up to Magdalena attacking Sonia in the kitchen, as she insulted Sonia and was insulted back.

During the 24 hours being trapped in the toilet room with Arthur on Day21, she slept for 5 hours standing. Then, a few hours later she fell asleep again for 5 more hours. On Day24 she collapsed on the terrace and slept there for almost 5 hours. When she woke up her mood was terrible (-4).

Best relation: Quentin
Worst relation: none

Well, Rasputiz had an exciting week, if not pleasant. On Day23, when we all were expecting sonia to attack Magdalena, Sonia with no warning attacked poor Rasputiz instead. Rasputiz lost the attack. Read all about that in the IN THE SPOT report in Rita's journal. The next day Rasputiz was in the kitchen when Sonia wanted to attack him again, but there were luckily others in the room preventing that to happen. They had no relation at all, and Rasputiz' mood was good (+3), so he was rather shaken after getting aware of this new situation towards Sonia.

The past days he seemed a little more social than earlier, but maybe more of the others joined him because the general low mood in the house. Rasputiz has been steady going on a pretty good mood, and he has been able to fulfil all his needs even during the recent hectic period.

Rasputiz' most significant change concerning relations, was an improvement of his contact with Arthur; nothing to mention really, but as he has no friends at all, it is a positive move. He still likes Quentin a lot (+34), but this is a one way thing. They talked for a while in the library on Day21. Rasputiz also talked some with Quentin the day after.

In the morning on Day22 there was a phone call for Rasputiz who received a commendation from the SimCity Mayor and §900 for his recent heroic efforts. He has not told anyone about his past, we are not quite sure what that was all about.

On Day25 Rasputiz emptied their mail box, and that was on time, because it contained 3 sets of unpaid bills.

He played way less chess for the past days than usual. On Day21 he played for nearly 2 hours, where of John joined him for most of the time.
Rasputiz had fun from joining one of the group meals, playing the SimRailRoad with Agnes, and on Day24 he was observed dancing with John in the FUN room. On Day25 he was in the hot tub only for 10 minutes together with others.

Day25 Agnes bothered him when tickling him against his will.
