I made a polygamist Sims family with a man and his two wives, and it's working out really well.
From the street, the household appears to be two separate houses, with a tall privacy fence between them.
However, in the backyard area, the master bedrooms each have a side door for easy access between the buildings.
Looks like the kids are home from school!

Moms are hard at work!
It all started with Steward and his wife Dane. I built their modest house on one side of the lot and left the other half undeveloped.
It wasn't long before a pretty young Sim named Lisbeth happened to walk onto their lot and Steward struck up a conversation. Before long he had built a mirror image of their current house so he could have a comfortable place to woo Lisbeth without Dane getting jealous.
Fortunately for Dane, she was able to secure her status as first wife when they welcomed their first child, Elissa.
A few days later, Steward and Lisbeth had their first child, Lucas.
By the time Steward Jr. "Junior" Bygamme came along, he would already have THREE older siblings!
The second daughter was the second wife's, and after Melody appeared in a puff of confetti, I decided they could use a pet, so I temporarily took down the "No Pets" sign that keeps stray animals from loitering on the lot just to see what would show up.A few days later one of the default stray cats wandered onto the lot and got along extremely well with Melody. I left their interactions hands-off to see what would happen, and shortly after the cat was living in the household and Melody plays with it as soon as she gets home from school each day.Nobody else in the family really interacts with the cat, but Steward pets it sometimes.
With such a big household, I added second levels for the kids' rooms, with adjacent bathrooms in each house. The master bedrooms each have an attached bathroom with a bath/shower combo but it's still somewhat of a chore managing everyone's hygiene and bladder. I'm thinking about doing some minor renovations to the back sides of the houses and adding on additional bathrooms on the main level.
No televisions in this household! All of the Fun objects on this lot are activities that increase skills (even though the child Sims don't have skill points like the adults). They have the nicest bookcase to help ensure they all have "A" grades, because every few days one of them gets left behind when the school bus leaves and that kills their grade.
The majority of the household income is generated through the completely broken wooden gnome crafting table. The gnomes sell for 10 Simoleons x the Sim's current Mechanical skill, but the object also improves the Mechanical skill with use. Each morning, both wives go to the kitchen and starts preparing multiple group meals, then one of them goes to the backyard and starts grinding out gnomes while the other deals with the rest of the house.They even have matching tables for times when both wives are free.
Once their Mechanical skill gets maxed out, they can bang out more than a dozen gnomes a day, with only one break in the middle to eat lunch. Because they have a nice yard with the crafting tables next to the pool, the high Room rating keeps them happy while they stand working all day. It's also easy to put it down on short notice, in case something happens where another adult Sim is suddenly needed.
Daddy's home! It's the man himself!Steward drifts from career to career every few days, but he stays employed to keep up the pretense of being the breadwinner. Right now he's working as a carnival barker.
Typically he switches careers after something delays him leaving for work for two days in a row and he gets fired, but this job seems to have hours that work for him.
As you can see from their Friendship ratings, he's getting along very well with both his wives. The wives both have high Friendship ratings with each other because they spend so much time on the same lot and get segregated to their respective houses as soon as Steward gets home so they never see Steward kissing the other one.
Just realized I'm retarded and wrote Lizbeth as "Lisbeth" all the way though.Anyway, that's my Sims game at the moment. What do your lots look like?

>>12550814more tables, more wives, more gnomes50% increase in gnome production with just one more wife
I would make a goth lesbian couple (one with green skin) and would cum buckets when making them woohoo. Beautiful times.
>>12550837I do have plans for adding a third wife. Steward is the only one who uses the pool, and only occasionally. No one uses the volleyball net, so the next big renovation (besides the bathrooms) will be shrinking the pool area and putting in a third house where the volleyball net is.
>>12550776OC? In MY nu-/vr/?>>12550840Now you're making me want to make a Piccolo and Bejita household.
My other big household is the StarLite motel, where every day is the weekend for someone!The lovable ne'er-do-wells of this lot all live in a motel with limited access to the typical household amenities, and only occasionally go to work, but it's usually enough to pay the bills.
The front lobby has a comfortable place to sit down and the TV is barely worth stealing.
Instead of a kitchen, the tenants are fed from a buffet table in the small dining area behind the reception window.
There are eight rooms, four on each level, accessible from the walkways on the front side of the building.
There's also a grill on the second level.
Small parking area in the back. I used the grass tool to create realistic wear in the areas around the walkways.
There's another grill in the courtyard next to a small service building that houses some extra chairs for when the tenants throw a party.
This is a house of sinBeware
>>12550776>polygamist Sims family with a man and his two wives,that is halal. now make them 9 yrs old.
>>12550776Based trad chink, now break and bind their feet so they stay at home forever.
Please don't replace me with a 3rd wife
>>12550840I made a lesbian couple in my Sims 2 game back in the day, it was really hot yeah
>>12550776>Male sim>Description: Yeah, he's a raging narcissist>Female sims1>Description: She's a semen container>Ok, fine. Standard stuff, sure. Whatever. I guess.>Female sims2:>Description: She's a doomsday prepper hobo with a scattered hunter-gatherer ADHD brain and an autistic fixation on gnomes...WHAT??????????>>12550809even more egregious than that - those bathroom tiles are hideous, come on man...You've got decos somewhat right, why are your floor tiles choices so bad???????also, there's cat poop in the kid's bedroomclean it up janny
>>12551036That IS the third wife.
>>12551136
Fucking kek. The madman actually put this level of work into a social science experiment, for a game engine made in literally 2000. Thread of the day sir.
>>12550889>Playing moddedI bet you use Rosebud too.Cute house though. I wish The Sims 1 had developed some way to do actual apartment style housing for multiple unrelated families on the same lot, or tracking family trees.
>>12551608>not modding gamescasual.Also sims1 is piss easy if you abuse downtown/magic lots and ignore jobs then go for broken shit like gnomes/rain of riches/video setsThere's no need for genie lamps, tons of other ways to break the game anywayanon has no mods as far as i can tell, he probably move_objects that junker to take a picHe doesn't know about 7 deadly sims cool beetles and xbox/ps2/gamecube tv's
>>12551632That's the buyable junker that leaks oil puddles.

>>12550994Not in their faith.>>12551608Modding is fun.>>12551640Was that in one of the expansions? I never had all of them.
>>12551717>>12551632No, it's from 7DS like the motel patio furniture.
>>12550778>>12550780Then they ARE two separate houses, dumbass. If they're not physically connected they're two separate buildings.
>>12551761They're connected by the fence
>>12551608>he doesn't beetlemaxngmi
When do the murders start?
>>12552261When the depression clown shows up.
>>12552261That's old news, sims1 is all about autism: building intricate shit and shitty fanficsSadly, i have 23 word docs about sims stories that only i have access and never shared with anyone.I'm such a fucking loser.
>>12552432who cares, as long as you're having fun that's all that matters
Female sims players scare me. It is either 13yo jenny playing house which is fine or it is 20yo jenny who spends 15-20 hours crafting a soap opera style idyllic life for her family and the neighbourhood....then the betrayals start. This escalates to people dying, the children being taken away and the total destruction of what once seemed like several perfect marriages. The worst part? Jenny will do it again in a new town with glee on her face.
>>12552493I was roleplaying a serpentine mutant-hybrid in a certain game...Initially i was very friendly, made some friends by promising protection, shared gear shelter, etc. All was going well.But then, winter came, things got desperate and i ended up killing all 3 for sustenanceThen i made a little burial to honor their deaths and my character grieved for them for days.Engraved their names on my favorite weapons and paid tributes whenever i could.That's when i realized: Ok, i really need to get laid.Immersion is a hell of a drug
>>12552493My wife just builds dream homes with the rosebud cheat and never plays them. She only makes a Sim so the game will let her build a house.
>>12550814>>12550817Pool's closed because of gnomes.
>>12550776
>>12552584>he doesn't knowYour wife is keeping the real game saves in a different folder and sure as shit is not letting you load them from within game.
this thread makes me want to delete pool ladders again like in the good ol' days...
>>12550776Sorry about your schizophrenia
>>12552818
>>12550776This thread kicks ass. Thanks OP. You may have autism, but we do too so it's okay.
>>12553164>eldest son is a "heir" and raccoon chaser>he's maybe an imposter (we'll get to that)>daughter was born due to lag>"first son" isn't actually the oldest>the cat is older than the first son, which is incidentally the youngest>one of the kids is lying or it was a photo-finish multiplacental birthYou sure he is an autist? I couldn't tell.
>>12553205>Steward and Dane move onto the lot >Steward marries Lizbeth>Steward+Dane=Elissa>Steward+Lizbeth=Lucas>Steward+Lizbeth=Melody>cat adopted>Steward+Dane=Junior>you are hereseems pretty straightforward, the kids just weren't posted in birth order
>>12553281I'm sorry for my brain actually trying to grasp the situation.I actually thought the tradwife was just a human incubatorand the hunter gatherer gnome craftswoman was a breadwinner and occasional playthingTraditional gender roles did a number on me
>>12553296OP here, I sometimes forget their birth order.>>12551123>also, there's cat poop in the kid's bedroomThe cat knows where Melody sleeps and always carries its dead mice there. Usually it poops outside and then buries it, which deletes the poop.
>>12552432There's people on this very board with infinitely worse hobbies.>>12553296>Traditional gender roles did a number on meI think that something else has done a number on you, judging by your statement.
>>12550776people play this shit over 3?
>>12553409oops thought i was on /v/
This is a LOT like my nephew and his bio wife and two kids with her, and the 2nd wife who IS on the two kids birth certificates
>>12552432Share one of your stories here, lad
>>12550776A couple years back I created a family consisting of myself, my younger cousin, and our two best buds. Two of us worked during the day and two worked at night. It was my first serious attempt at playing without cheating and without abusing the gamebreaking shit. Shit got pretty tedious at times, to be frank, but still, I got rather far with that setup, and so I consider it close to a success run.Sadly, some time after starting that household, my cousin passed away under tragic circumstances, and I've not had the heart to load the game since.
>>12553449Ok so, this is the story of Eugene, 73, an old stone mason>Eugene is a shy stone mason known for his knowledge and affinity with granite>He's mostly known for his punctuality and cobblestone pavers>One day, the shady mayor of MagiTown, Valdus, made an offer of §100,000 to >Eugene, reluctantly, accepted the offer. Not because he needed money, but because he felt nostalgic about his days in the field>Valdus hired 5 servants and left him the architectural plans and all necessary equipment>Eugened noticed the tools had an irresistible charm to it, like he felt young again>He's even managed to charm a divorced 46 year old mother he'd always wanted to be with>Everything was going great, he never felt more alive>As the project was nearing its completion, Valdus became increasingly more snarky and seemed to mock his impressive masterwork>His payment came through in a beautiful stone chest, weirdly mirroing his work, as if it was plucked from the walls he helped build>The tools were there too, weird.>Two weeks later, he seemed more reclusive and started complaining of body aches>He could've sworn he saw his hands turn to stone....>The doctors found nothing, just prescribed general painkillers and sent him his way home>We was becoming increasingly more moody and eventually retreated to loneliness again.>One day, he tried to get up the bed and fell down>He saw a lot of stone rubble beneath what once was his legs>He tried to scream for help, but his mouth couldn't move>He was at rest with his life work... literally.>Days later, a firefighters were called in to investage a loud noise northwest>They found his stone house - all nothing but rubbles and no traces of him>Some say he was driven mad... Or sang a swan's song and departed peacefully>But Valdus knew the truth...
