Alien EncounterOne night Alex was out for a run, when he had an alien visit and tell him that the weather was going to dramatically change. The alien warned him of a shift in the climate and encouraged him to start building a bunker for him and his wife.
The bunker must be underground, and they need to have stored enough supplies to live for at least 20 years. Alex thought he had dreamed the encounter...until the alien returned the following night. At that point, Alex decided he had to convince is wife to build a bunker! |
Day 1Alex is a renowned architect, and Marian has a successful career as a detective. They had planned to purchase an upgraded home, but instead purchased this large lot. They left the rickety old building, and began creating their bunker. They didn't socialize as much as their co-workers, and tried to save as much money as possible. One day it will have all the comforts of home.

Toad Head!!The weather is beginning to change. The earth is drying up as the weather shifts the climate in their area. The community is becoming unsettled. and Alex and Marian work day and night on their bunker.
Their underground home has a tiny kitchen, a bathroom and living area. They have also made a large area for a garden and hobby room. They are currently working on a second bedroom for a future child. Marian has been learning how to do alchemy, but her first Vial of Bliss turned her into a toad!! It was an experiment that has gone terribly wrong!! |
Their BunkerAlex and Marian's efforts began to pay off, as their underground bunker started to look like a home. Marian doesn't really like the airlocks, but Alex feels the security is worth it.
The laundry room has the same apocalypse appearance. Marian isn't too sure how the laundry will get done once the power goes out. |
This is their tiny bedroom with Alex's paintings and Marian's awards.
|
A GardenPart of their survival is growing their own food. There will be no grocery stores, nor any power for a refrigerator or a stove. They will have to grow enough vegetables to feed themselves and their children for 20 years.
Marian loves to work in the garden, and with a husband like Alex, who needs vegetables, when you have love!! |
NeighborsOn one of Alex's morning runs, he noticed two bio-dome's up on a hill west of town. He stood for a long time and wondered if they too had been visited by an Alien. Alex prayed that he and Marian's children would perhaps have someone else to play with, and then he silently hoped anyone would survive the task at hand. Twenty years without any outside contact would not be easy...for anyone.
(This Bio-dome is found in the Rattlesnake Ridge Lite World made by Mikittta47. The bio-dome was made by Amaholus You can find all of this great custom content here: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/486292.page |
July 4thMarian had spent hours at the local library researching herbs and plants, and while there, she over heard the local mafia planning a drug run. After several stake outs, she was able to solve the case and put them in prison. She won several promotions at work and is really enjoying being a 6th level detective.
It was on one of these stake outs, when she heard the familiar honking sounds of the Canadian Geese. It gave her goosebumps to hear them as they were flying south. This is something they would normally do in October, so she ran home to tell Alex about it. |
Making it WorseMarian is desperately trying to become human again, so she continued making elixhers, BUT she's somehow made it even worse. She's now a yucky olive green toad. Will this curse never end???
Alex feels she needs to go to a witch to see if she can be cured. However, Marian believes in fairy tales....ya know the one about the girl and the toad prince??? |
Kiss Me You FoolWhen Alex comes home and sees Marian has again changed, he is quite upset. When Marian approaches him with her kissing idea, Alex worries that it will backfire. He asks, "What if I turn into a toad?" Marian offers to him, "Well, then we'd both be green with yellow buggy eyes?" As she puckers up for a big kiss, Alex finally turns her face and kisses her quickly on the cheek. Poof, it works!!
|
Marian is Back!!Marian is finally back to her normal self. They went out to dinner and stopped a local hot spot for several hours of dancing. Then, they came home for a romantic evening alone in their underground bunker.
Marian has several side effects from the Toad experience. She can't seem to stop searching out buzzing flies, and she can't seem to stop looking in the mirror to make sure it's really gone. |
August 1stAlex and Marian woke up to find that it had snowed during the night. They also discovered an unusual snowman in their yard. They both feel is an an omen, and they promise each other to work even harder to get more done on their bunker. They have already purchased exercise equipment, easels, a sculpting station and an inventor's station. They have a bedroom for an infant, and a larger play room for their future children.
They are not sure how much time they have left to live above ground, but Alex hopes they have the money to purchase some musical instruments. He loves to paint and wants his children to experience some of the arts. |
