“NPC-palooza IV: The Last One”
Warnings: heart-farting, twerking, accidental NPC creation, no teens, no woohoo, no more!
Previously on The Oceanside Project: NPC-palooza Special [Su01] [Fa01] [Wi01]
Yeah, I’m sick of these NPCs. This is the last NPC-palooza. I don’t think I can do another one.
Day 18
Meet Phillipe Pickwick, former bartender and soon to be family counselor for Oceanside. Phillipe won the honor by, well, listening to Malcolm Landgraab drone on for hours while drinking fuzzy llamas at the Oceanside Country Club. Malcolm thought, hey, he’s a good listener. I’m sure he’ll make a great therapist! Malcolm moved Phillipe into this lovely tax-free abode to do just that.
Phillipe is a 4-5-7-6-3 Knowledge/Romance Virgo with a penchant for great cooks in their swimwear. He would rather they not be too bright, however, as he does not like logical women. He wants to max out all seven of his skills and he doesn’t have far to go. His Cleaning skill is topped out and his Charisma skill is close behind. He’s Perceptive, Athletic, Ambitious, Nurturing, and an Angler. He has a deep love for Fitness and is interested in Crime, Food, and Sports.
Before he hits the books to learn Anger Management, Lifelong Happiness, Physiology, and Couples Counseling to start his career…
He’s the lucky bastard that gets to host this season’s NPC-PALOOZA™!
Please note in that previous picture that everyone is thinking about someone else while Felicity is thinking about having a baby…
Driver Noelee Andrews and girlfriend, Natural Scientist Yasmin Onnen, express their undying love for each other.
Landgraab Nanny Heaven Gallo stakes her claim on Postal Carrier Bailey Hower (also her baby daddy but he don’t know that yet 🤐).
Postmaster Lars Shadow gropes his girlfriend, Music and Dancer Edwina Goddard…
to the embarrassment of Driver Eric Dean…
and scorn of Daycare provider Cindy Lou Killeen and Adventurer Amaryllis Robbins.
Gold ‘N Glamour Barbie™ Rowena De Hommel is the recipient of lavish attention from her man, Garden Club Inventor Rocky Kotsomiti…
which makes her fall hopelessly in love with him.
Roboticist Abbot Moulden can’t get over how hot the new therapist is…
neither can Hostess Tiara Hough and Edwina.
Phillipe finds Tiara very attractive and begins a conversation. Tiara expresses to Phillipe that she hopes to join the law profession that is currently vacant. Phillipe seems very impressed with the idea of a sexy lawyer in town.
Amaryllis will not give up on a romance with Yasmin.
Yaz: What is she doing with her mouth?
Rejected again.
Yasmin knows it was a huge mistake woohooing with Amaryllis, but she never thought that she would be so hard to shake off. Yaz has tried everything she can think of to get rid of her, but to no avail.
Rocky’s plan of becoming a legit member of Oceanside society is coming together nicely. He has friends in high places and a fancy dame under his thumb. Soon he will have all of the power he thinks he deserves.
Edwina has a plan of her own. She heads inside to get this party started right!
Yasmin tries to smooth things over with her girlfriend Noelee. Luckily Noelee doesn’t pay Amaryllis’ advances any mind. She understands that Yaz draws the attention of a lot of sims, but she knows that she’s all hers.
Amaryllis: Maybe we could be a thruple? Please?
Bailey sweetly serenades his girl Heaven. She thinks his voice is out of this world.
Lars: What are you doing, Ed?
Edwina: I’m Slap Dancing! It’s all the rage in the mountains! Wanna try it?
Lars: I do not think my feet can move like that.
Phillipe continues to chat up Tiara. He tells her how excited he was to move out of the Caves On The Other Side of The Island and into a place of his own.
Masseuse Grady Shenanigan introduces himself to Firefighter Daisy Dalpozzo. He can’t wait to move into the mainland so he can open a spa and have a real salary instead of working for tips on Volcano Island.
Volcano Island Housekeeper Aiffe Wainwright: (timidly) Are you…Slap Dancing…?
Edwina: Hell yes! You better get in on this, girl!
Aiffe: I love Slap Dancing!
Amaryllis: Hey, hey! What’s going on here?
Rocky (growls): I KNOW they are not Slap Dancing without ME!
Watcher help us…
Rowena is unsure of her feelings. Could she really be in love with Rocky? What about all of her plans to steal from the men stupid enough to fall for her? Did the conwoman just fall in love with the conman?
While some of the party-goers stand around sucking up air…
more and more head inside to learn the new dance from Edwina.
Garden Clubber Vanessa Cochrane finds a friend in Larry the Llama.
Edwina: …and then you stick your butt out like this and SLAP!
Daycare owner Angie Killeen: I WILL NOT DO THAT!
Lars (telepathically): Make it stop, Beckett.
Reviewer Beckett Graham (telepathically): I can’t. There’s just too many of them!
Back outside, Daisy finds Grady highly entertaining.
Even though Beautician Brodie Mason seduced Baker Paragon Barrett to spite her mortal enemy, Minka Yomoshoto, she must admit he has some smooth moves. Maybe I should give him another go, thinks Brodie.
Rocky: Do you wanna see me slap my ass?
Rowena: Yeah, slap it, slap it hard!
Oh no, they infected Beckett!
Outside Paragon falls for Brodie.
Newsie Honey Burr: Hiya Mr. Jelleff!
Garden Clubbers Dominic Cavallaro, Lamar Brentwood, and Auberon Longfellow: HIIII HONEY!!!!
See, this is why I didn’t invite the teens. Perverts.
Honey: Hi Guys! I love this neighborhood. Everysim is so friendly!
Uh-huh, stay away little girl…
Lars tried to resist the power of the Slap Dance. Alas, he succumbed to the dark side.
Tiara is never impressed with the men of Oceanside. Most of them are too stupid for her tastes. Phillipe however seems like he has his priorities in order. She can actually have a conversation with him without wanting to gouge her eyes out. Maybe they could be friends…
Social Worker Felicity Wayward must have some beef with Garden Clubber Bruce Jelleff that I don’t know about. Does she even know him?
Grady might have a thing for Daisy.
Daisy is a natural at Slap Dancing. Maybe she’s actually from the mountain region.
Phillipe joins his guests inside and he’s happy to see so many of the sims having a great time.
The reputation of the Garden Club Mafia must be getting out. Bellhop Addison Lambert also boos Bruce as he walks by.
Bruce will remember that.
Phillipe returns to his roots and mixes drinks for anysim that might want one.
Music and Dancer Norah Macaulay isn’t too impressed with the music selection, nor the dancing, but she’s happy to hang out and look cool.
Paragon steps back outside to rough up Bruce. He’s ego is still a bit bruised after their fight at Founders’ Day. Paragon is ready for payback.
Scarlet Sanderson: Hey boys! No fighting at NPC-palooza!
Dammit, another NPC was born!
No one pays attention to Scarlet. Bruce is sick of Paragon. He’s going to show him not to mess with the second in command of the Garden Club Mafia!
Inside, more unwanted touching.
This time it’s Addison that’s in trouble.
Addison: I just wanted to caress his golden locks *sad face*
Eric: *stink eye*
Scientist Achilles Brook regales Tiara with stories of the constellations and the moon. He’s an avid believer that there is life beyond the stars. Heaven doesn’t seem to be buying any of it.
Go Beckett! Go! Go!
Scarlet: Why wasn’t I invited?
No one knew you existed, darlin’. Sorry.
After finally shutting Achilles up about space, Tiara tries to get info from her bestie Heaven regarding her previous conversation with Rocky. Tiara is desperately trying to find a way out of the GCM as quickly as possible. If Heaven could do it, maybe she could too.
Tiara: You didn’t involve that creepy old Calista did you? She’s dangerous!
Heaven: I did what I had to do, Tiara. You would have done the same.
*minus relationship*
Arts and Crafter Kiki Bird chats up Dominic trying to sell him her homemade wares.
Kiki: I’m an interior designer. I have lots of decor that I’ve sewn up in my spare time. Maybe there’s something I could interest you in?
Dominic: You’re barking up the wrong tree, lady. We’re still living in the caves. We don’t have any place for “decor!”
Paragon breaks away from Bruce to flirt with Brodie.
Potter Kent Healey: SLAP!
Abbot: OH MY!
Grady: Well hello, beautiful!
Tiara: Speak to me again and I will rip out your throat.
Brodie falls into crush with Paragon.
Rocky: SLAP! Oh yeah! You see that, babe?
Rowena: Huh? What?…
Rowena: Yeah…I see that…so sexy…
Watch out Rocky. Your new love has eyes for your greatest enemy.
In a flash, Bruce jumps Paragon in the middle of the dance floor.
Bruce can’t lose in front of his boss, or he won’t be number two anymore.
Phillipe is not happy. This is the reason he’s here, to stop things like this from happening in the first place. He cannot believe Bruce and Paragon are fighting in his home.
Tiara ran into the study to get away from all of the violence. She may talk a big game, but the thought of somesim actually getting hurt troubles her. Phillipe follows her and tries to calm her down.
Phillipe: Don’t be alarmed, Tiara. I will handle this. Why don’t you stay in here and have a drink. I’ll get rid of these two.
As the fight rages on…
Norah walks outside to hide her secret crushing on Reviewer Rowley Ontario.
As Rowena steps over the road kill, Bruce proves why he is, in fact, #2.
Paragon will remember this.
Rocky: That’s my boy!
After calming Tiara down, Phillipe makes his way over to the fighters. They need to leave as soon as possible.
He very politely says goodbye to Bruce…
and to Paragon.
After all of the excitement the guests either grab a bite…
or return to their slapping. Phillipe is dragged into learning the new dance.
Rowley: SLAP!
Please…make it stop…
Felicity is glad to have the hunky therapist all to herself. Tiara’s been hogging him all day!
Rocky: BURPS!
Felicity: Do you have something to stop this cold emptiness in my heart, Doc? *bats eyes*
Phillipe: I-I’m not that kind of doctor, Felicity.
Abbot: Oh, I beg to differ Dr. Pickwick!
Leave the man alone you little horn dogs.
Tearing himself away from Felicity, Phillipe chats up Norah. They have two bolts!
Rocky spots his ex-best friend and mortal enemy Kent talking to his girl. Who does this guy think he is, thinks Rocky.
Rocky will remember this.
This never stops being funny.
Amaryllis desperately hopes Yasmin will sit near her. Poor Amaryllis. Will she ever get over Yasmin?
Next Phillipe meets Aiffe. He tells her he hopes that the police catch the Oceanside Cat Burglar soon so he can rehabilitate them. He’s afraid the burglar might become violent.
Aiffe gives Phillipe the fakest smile ever and pretends to listen to everything he says.
Tiara might have a little crush on Dr. Pickwick, even though she’s too shy to go over and talk to him more.
Uh no, Missy, he’s already spoken for. Go find a single man!
Honestly, she’s adorable.
Tiara watches Phillipe and Aiffe, but tries not to be all stalkery about it. She knows he has to take care of his guests. Maybe she could drop by later after the party when they won’t be interrupted.
Daisy: You should see my new house. It’s da bomb. Fitz really hooked me up. You know Fitz, right? He’s soooo my type.
Cindy Lou: Is your type married and extremely fertile?
Aiffe and Phillipe’s conversation is interrupted by…
Felicity’s lips!
Well, at least he’s not married? *bright side*
Cindy Lou…
and Daisy do not approve!
Felicity: …and I’ll just walk away and leave him wanting more!
Um, I think it just made him want Tiara more!
As a matter of fact, Phillipe turns and sucks face with Tiara almost immediately after kissing Felicity.
Tiara is more than pleased.
Kent: I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there’s this new dance called Slap Dancing. It’s the hottest thing in town!
YES, WE KNOW!!!
I think Phillipe made his choice on who he would rather spend time with for the rest of the party.
Lars, Noelee, Abbot, Yasmin, and Grady head to the therapy room for a group session.
The time has come for NPC-palooza to end.
Phillipe cleans up and prepares for his first full day as a resident.
Notes
- I tried to add the Volcano Island locals as well but there were way too many sims on the lot. It was unbearable. I might have to do a Volcano Island version of NPC-palooza.
- I couldn’t make it a “party” because Phillipe didn’t know anyone! So instead I just teleported everyone over.
- Even though Felicity isn’t technically an NPC (i.e. game created), I thought she should be here since she is essentially the Social Worker.
- Dude, that Slap Dance crap is crazy. They NEVER STOP! It’s like a virus and they’re all infected. I can’t…
Credits
- Phillipe’s house is The Grimstad created by SimsPatrick.
Thank you for reading!! ^.^
