When we last saw Moochacha, she'd just split up with her toilet girlfriend. Now she's putting herself out there again.

I decide to try a straight bar. What the hell.

(Don't live with the crappydo bars and restaurants that come as the default in Hot Date. This place once was the hellish "Wrensday's"--a hideous and mystifying establishment that specialized in having every end table made my Maxis, urinals on the walls of the shopping area, dining tables behind velvet ropes and eye-assaulting lawn sculptures.)

It is hopping.

(I turned the second floor into an internet cafe. I like using the fireplaces downtown, They're always "on" and they never burn the place down.)

Feeling bi-curious, I chat up this guy by the go go cages.

After claiming he felt like dancing, he changes his mind mid-boogie and now wants a cheeseburger.

We go across the street to the restaurant but we're on an interminable waiting list.

So I take him upstairs for chocolate eclairs.

(Normally I hate having hot dog stands etc. around since I hate the way they look and you need to eat 43 hot dogs, 37 slices of pizza or 112 ice cream cones to satisfy your hunger. But I like the way this one looks and it fits my theme. Plus the espresso machine is one of the few ways to get energy up downtown.)

This guy is humorless. How could you not think my jokes are funny?

So, whatever. Even when I try, I can't be straight. They must realize this on some level.

Dude, like, whatever. Maybe we'll clean the gutters at your house after the game.

I think I'm getting depressed.

(Put your own .mp3s in the TV station folders so you can hear your own music when you watch TV instead of the earsplitting TV noise. I have Radiohead playing whenever the Horror/Mystery TV station is chosen, Maxwell is Romance etc.)

You can also replace the stereo/DJ music the same way by putting your mp3s in the Music/Stations/Beach etc. folders. I have jazz standards in Classica, real disco in disco, R&B in beach etc.)

I'm too depressed to clean my shitty apartment.

(A great "cheat" is the move_objects on cheat, it lets you move and/or delete things you normally couldn't like dirty dishes, puddles, newspapers etc. And it lets you move people and objects when they get stuck in traffic jams. If you delete your sim, then double click on their picture, they'll come back to you mostly green. On macs, the keyboard command is command-shift-C, also useful for $ cheat "rosebud !;")

I'm a doctor, I'll do what I want.

(You can miss work every other day if you'd like, but missing work 2 days in a row will get you fired.)

 

Will Moo ever find love? Will she need mood elevators? Will she get off the sofa? Find out...
