Lainey Gets Electrocuted

Jodie and Lainey got engaged the very next day after Jodie tried to move too fast! Within minutes after moving in, Lainey had accepted Jodie’s proposal. So they still haven’t made woo hoo, but at least they live together and they’re engaged. I was a little surprised that even though Lainey’s been in college for as long as Jodie, she’s still a freshman and still hasn’t declared her major. She wants to be a mad scientist, though, so she’s now majoring in mathematics.

Unfortunately, Lainey hasn’t learned much in the way of mechanical skills yet. So when the computer broke after she declared her major, Lainey had…well…a little accident.

(At this point I was pretty sure she was going to die. I know electrocution is a way to kill a Sim, so I thought Lainey was a goner - and right after they’d gotten engaged!)

This was my first clue that she MIGHT survive but I still wasn’t sure. Getting electrocuted wasn’t one of her fears but she still lost a ton of aspiration points.

Lainey is not looking really good. In addition to being totally black in the face, she’s blubbering like an idiot - her aspiration was knowledge but she doesn’t seem to be sure what to do with that now - and she looks totally despondent. Poor Lainey!

Jodie finally woke up and came downstairs to see what the fuss was all about. I wanted to see if she could comfort Lainey, but instead there was a different option…Introduce to Therapist! I guess that really is what Lainey seems to need right now.

Jodie looks on in amusement as Lainey hops around like a monkey and beats her chest like a gorilla.

Fortunately, Lainey remembers how do to basic tasks. She went to the bathroom of her own accord, and got in the tub on command. I think it’s interesting that her clothes protected the rest of her body from the smoke - only her face is dirty!

“I’ve had a really hard day…can I please go to bed now?!”
