60.17-Move aside Landgraabs

WARNING: SOME NUDITY IN THIS EPISODE

 Previously on the Smole, Virginia and Luis stuffed their faces full of Riverview's finest cuisine while the others worked to burn those calories off. Unfortunately there was a calorie surplus, reducing the winnings to 110/178 points for the mission and 521/858 points for the pot. While Mariana was safe thanks to an exemption, Trenton was not. As his new shadow enters the game, the remaining contestants can't help but wonder: who is the Mole?

*

*

*

Maru: "Is it possible for Trenton to be the Mole? Absolutely! That's the point of the game. It keeps you on your toes and if you think it can't happen, it will definitely happen."

*

*

*

Francisca: "Thank you again for saving me. I hope you weren't badly injured."

Kearney: "'Tis but a scratch. Why did Maru attack you?"

Kearney: "My maiden, you have to tell me in order for me to protect you."

Francisca: "He...he is trying to blackmail me."

Kearney: "Blackmail! The gall! What does he have over you?"

Kearney: "I am not trying to be nosy. I only need to know so that I know how best to protect you. I promise I will not tell anyone."

Francisca: "...I'm a princess. I'm the princess of Hidden Springs."

Kearney: "A princess! How foolish of me to not have known!"

Francisca: "Shh! I don't want anyone to know."

Kearney: "This is what Maru is trying to blackmail you over? Fret not. I will protect you and your secret. I now have even more determination to protect you."

*

*

*

Virginia: "I could hardly believe my own ears! As I was walking back into the house, I noticed Mr. O'Shea and Ms. Vanderburg lingering behind, acting so furtively. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to stay and uncover their secret. Francisca Vanderburg—a princess of Hidden Springs! Who would have thought, judging by her attire and behavior? Oh, Virginia Supine, you are the greatest fool in all the world!"

*

*

*

Virginia: "You mean to tell me the Sims in this box aren't real?"

Luis: "They are but they're not physically in the TV. How have you never heard of a TV?"

Maru: "Who do you think Trenton's shadow will be?"

Mariana: "Probably his wife."

Kearney: "It could be anyone. His world is very different from ours."

"Everybody, please welcome Bert Alto, a 52-year-old thug from Hidden Springs!"

*

*

*

Bert: "Move aside Landgraabs, the Altos are here to stay. Let this Alto show you how it's done."

*

*

*

"Good morning contestants. As we welcome our newest addition to the house, please also pick four fearless contestants who wish to start the day relaxing."

Bert: "Sounds right up my alley."

Luis: "You just got here."

Mariana: "I think Virginia and Luis shouldn't have a chance. They got to relax yesterday."

Virginia: "Firstly, it's Ms. Supine. Secondly, it was not relaxing in the slightest."

Kearney: "Let us not forget that the four need to be fearless. I think Francisca and I are fearless."

Francisca: "I don't really want to spend the whole day at home relaxing or whatever it is."

Kearney: "That is true. Then we shall not relax."

Kearney: "Who shall join us?"

Luis: "If we don't relax, we may need to do something extremely intense. My body isn't up for it, especially yesterday."

Virginia: "I shall complete the trio. I think I gained a few pounds from the meal which I must shed."

*

*

*

Mariana: "Everyone is so stressed from the game that they wanted to relax. And those of us in the gym were so sore from yesterday. But what surprised me the most is Virginia choosing not to have a day of pampering and relaxation."

*

*

*

Maru: "We're headed to Sunflower Spa."

Mariana: "I'm so excited to get pampered!"

Kearney: "We are going to the salon for some reason."

Virginia: "Fortunately. That is not as intense as I feared."

*

*

*

Luis: "Omm..."

Mariana: "Omm..."

Bert: "Omm..."

Maru: "Brap."

Bert: "Ew, who farted?"

Mariana: "Hehe!"

Bert: "Mariana!"

Mariana: "It wasn't me!"

Maru: "Don't you think it smells better than the floral lavender candle scent in this room?"

*

*

*

Virginia: "I see sewing tables."

Kearney: "Sewing?"

*

*

*

Kearney: "Sewing? These hands are made for battle and war! They're not meant to do girly stuff!"

*

*

*

Luis: "It feels so weird to be pampered."

Bert: "Get used to it. This is the life we should all aspire to."

*

*

*

Virginia: "Fortunately I have had some experience as a young girl."

Kearney: "I am not touching this machine."

Francisca: "Now's the chance to practice."

*

*

*

Luis: "Sauna room: No clothes allowed. Not even a towel? And we're sharing the same sauna?"

Mariana: "It's okay, I'm not shy."

Maru: "Who needs a towel or gender segregation?"

Bert: "Ladies first. You enter first and we'll go in after."

*

*

*

Luis: "You're supposed to shower without clothes, Maru."

Luis: "And then place all your belongings in that cabinet."

*

*

*

Virginia: "You're not a quitter, are you?"

Kearney: "Of course not. I'll show you I can master anything. Ow!"

Virginia: "Defeated by the needle."

*

*

*

Bert: "This is so uncomfortable. I feel like my privacy has been violated!"

Maru: "I find it pretty relaxing."

Bert: "You're not the one with your willy pointed towards me."

Bert: "For God sake, stop spreading your legs!"

Maru: "But they'll stick together if I don't."

*

*

*

Kearney: "How are you two doing so well?"

Francisca: "My mother tried to teach me when I was young. But I was never a good student and it's been so long."

*

*

*

Bert: "This is nowhere relaxing at all. I'm out of here."

Bert: "What the...where are all my clothes?"

Bert: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have been pranked. All our clothes are gone but we have a note."

*

*

*

Bert, Luis, Mariana and Maru have lost their clothes. Fortunately, the other three have practised their sewing. The four of them need to make their way to the salon where the three are sewing. 

However, Kearney, Virginia and Francisca have run low on fabric after practising. The nudists can help: the longer the distance walked, the more pieces of fabric they can collect. Each of the four nudists that make it to the salon and have a full outfit on by the end of 2 hours can make 20 points for the pot, making this mission worth 80 points.

A clue can be earned by the first contestant to sew a thumbprint into their outfits and have it worn by another contestant without them realising. 

As for the nudists, they are allowed to ask locals to give their outfits to them if willing. The first one to get a full outfit regardless of how it is obtained wins a hidden exemption. Locally-sourced clothing brings in 1 bonus point per item if the contestant arrives at the salon in time. But if they do not have a single piece of clothing sewn by the contestants, the amount they can bring in is halved.

*

*

*

Mariana: "I feel so free!"

Bert: "I need some clothes, ma'am. Could you give me your coat?"

Constance: "Ew, perv!"

Bert: "I'll give you money."

Flat: "Scram or I'll call the cops!"

Bert: "These stingy Sims. She has so many layers on."

Luis: "According to the map they're all the way on the other side. The fastest way will be..."

Luis: "Hey Maru! Where are you going? That's the wrong way!"

*

*

*

Kearney: "We need to stop wasting fabric."

Francisca: "A clue is at stake and I need to get into the motion of sewing again."

*

*

*

Virginia: "I am thankful I made the right call. How vulgar it would have been had I been with the other group!"

*

*

*

Bert: "There you are! Wait up!"

Mariana: "Hmm."

Bert: "Hey! It's spring and cold."

Mariana: "I'm just teasing."

Bert: "I'm trying to be a gentleman here and not stare or make comments about your body and here you are mocking me."

Mariana: "Oh lighten up."

Carlotta: "My mama says not to stare at weird hobos."

Bert: "We need to find some clothes asap."

Mariana: "I quite like the feeling of streaking."

Bert: "I don't want to end up on another list."

Mariana: "Well there's a fire station over there. They should have clothes for us."

*

*

*

Luis: "I know the longer we walk, the more fabric we can collect, but we still have to make it in time and we can't use cars or taxis."

Luis: "Let's stop by those houses to see if they are kind enough to let us have clothes. We should at least put some pants on."

*

*

*

Luis: "I don't know which horny teenage boy thought of this and whose father approved it, but too bad for you. Instead of seeing sexy women you get to see wrinkly balls and ass."

*

*

*

Luis: "I don't think anyone's here."

Luis: "Maru! Don't trespass! We're not that desparate."

*

*

*

Kearney: "We should discuss how we want to approach this. There are three of us but four of them. Someone has to sew two clothes."

Virginia: "The first one to sew shall sew the last one as well. It is that simple."

Kearney: "Who is the fastest sewer among us?"

Francisca: "That's Virginia."

Francisca: "Who will take the clue?"

Kearney: "I don't need it. We should focus on earning money."

Virginia: "They do not have to be mutually exclusive."

Francisca: "She is right. We just need to make sure the rest don't get suspicious."

*

*

*

Bert: "If we approached a local for clothes, we were only allowed one article. Mariana and I thought there would be an abandoned firehouse that we could exploit as a loophole since it was abandoned and not from a local. Little did we know that Riverview Sims were resourceful to convert the firehouse into a home. Stupid Sims foiling my plan."

*

*

*

Mariana: "Ooh this is cute and it covers most of me up quite well. Thank you!"

Bert: "Can I at least wear these if you're not going to let me wear any of the others?"

George: "Eh, they're kind of old. Go ahead."

Bert: "Better than nothing I suppose."

*

*

*

Bennie: "Oh you poor thing. Yes, of course I'm willing to give you my underpants. Here, take them."

Luis: "Oh. That's...kind of you."

Luis: "Thank you."

Bennie: "Don't sweat it. I have more upstairs if you need it. Gramps gotta stick together."

Luis: "I'm not a grandpa...or a pa for that matter."

Bennie: "Oh I'm so sorry for you."

Maru: "Pleasure doing business with you."

Henry: "Are you sure you don't want anything else?"

Maru: "I made my decision and I'm sticking with it."

*

*

*

Bert: "My feet are killing me. We need to get some shoes."

Mariana: "We can walk on the grass. It's softer."

Bert: "That's not the point."

Mariana: "Hey, a stadium! I bet there are clothes they could spare us."

*

*

*

Luis: "We need to make our way to the salon now if we want to get there in time."

Maru: "Hey, there's someone who looks like he could give us clothes."

Maru: "HELLO!"

Don: "Huh? What the hell?"

Don: "Don't mug me."

Maru: "I just want your shirt."

Don: "Why would I give it to you? We're not even the same size."

Maru: "Come on. Help a bro out."

Don: "Make me."

Maru: "Okay!"

Don: "What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?"

Luis: "You should give into his demands before he does anything more drastic."

Don: "Another one...fine. Give me a moment."

Maru: "It's a bit tight."

Luis: "And smells of sweat."

Maru: "Really? I don't smell anything."

Luis: "You should stop letting your schlong hang out."

Don: "I'm not giving you my shorts."

*

*

*

Bert: "I have never felt so homeless. I don't know if this old singlet is washed or not."

Mariana: "I feel a lot better now."

Bert: "The rest are sewing right? They can't be sewing shoes, so we need to find our own shoes."

Bert: "Hey! You with the long hair! Could you give me your shoes?"

Yuri: "Why?"

Bert: "As you can see I don't have shoes."

Yuri: "You have to exchange something with me to make it worth it."

Bert: "...Damn it. I don't have anything to exchange with you."

*

*

*

Mariana: "The residents of Riverview are so nice! We met this family outside the stadium and there was this old lady who offered me her gloves. My fingers were feeling cold but then they became warm."

*

*

*

Mariana: "Where did you get that bowtie and why?"

Bert: "I managed to convince a waiter to give it to me. I have to look sharp."

Mariana: "It makes you look stupid. You know that right? Like a stripper."

Bert: "A sexy stripper to complement a sexy firefighter."

Mariana: "Oh you."

Bert: "Can't believe I haven't found shoes yet. I'm getting blisters."

Mariana: "Should we have been the ones with the map? I'm afraid we're getting lost."

*

*

*

Virginia: "Occasionally, we were given more fabric for all of us to share, depending on how far the others had walked. Yet we knew neither the distance they’d traveled nor their status, leaving us to guess what attire they might still lack."

*

*

*

Kearney: "I'm going to make pants. They need pants more than shirts. What about you?"

Virginia: "I will sew a shirt."

Francisca: "Do you think we're wasting their fabric?"

Kearney: "We don't have better options. It will be too late by the time they arrive."

*

*

*

Maru: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Luis: "Bar games and a bet?"

Maru: "Bar games and a bet."

Maru: "If I win, you give me your pants."

Kory: "I'm the best at the Juice Bar. You're on."

Luis: "I can't embarrass an old man or ask clothes from any of the ladies."

Kory: "What?"

Maru: "Take off your pants."

Luis: "At least you got something out of this."

Maru: "Want my pants?"

Luis: "No. You need it more than me."

Norman: "What happened to your pants?"

Kory: "Don't ask."

*

*

*

Mariana: "I think we wasted too much time."

Bert: "At least I have shoes that fit now. And you have a sun visor to block the shade."

Mariana: "That's true."

Bert: "They said the salon was nearby."

Mariana: "There it is!"

Bert: "Finally! I can't wait for good clothes."

Mariana: "Wait up!"

Bert: "We're here."

Virginia: "Finally. Come, I have a shirt for you."

Francisca: "What are you lacking?"

Mariana: "Shoes."

Francisca: "We didn't think of shoes."

Kearney: "I am still trying to sew the pants. There is a large hole."

Virginia: "It's not salvageable."

Francisca: "I'll make some paper slippers."

*

*

*

Francisca: "Virginia and I sewed several polo shirts and T shirts, but we did not think about shoes. I had to scrap my current work and waste that fabric to make shoes which I had no experience in. It went as well as you think it went."

*

*

*

Virginia: "I'm sorry to say you look ridiculous."

Bert: "Your shirt is tacky as hell too."

Virginia: "I had to make do with the resources available."

Virginia: "Put on this shirt."

Bert: "Some privacy please? I need to take this singlet off first."

Virginia: "Don't you dare. Just don it over."

Bert: "This look is so haphazard. I can't believe I'm caught wearing something like this on international television."

*

*

*

Virginia: "I sewed the thumbprint on the underside of the shirt to be inconspicuous. I think it worked."

*

*

*

Luis: "Stop it Maru. We're not going to find anything to wear in the dumpster of the bistro."

Luis: "This is embarrassing."

Maru: "Not any more embarrassing than walking around naked."

Luis: "You...that's true."

Maru: "Found something for you! Hey, where'd you go?"

Luis: "Over here."

Maru: "It suits you quite well."

Luis: "It smells of rotten fish."

Luis: "But thanks for giving an old man something to wear at least."

Maru: "My pleasure. I think we've got a full outfit already."

*

*

*

Luis: "Maru may have had a complete outfit but I didn't. A full outfit consisted of a top, a bottom and shoes or other footwear. I don't think boxers count and I was barefoot. And he was willing to lose 10 points over it rather than make it to the salon."

*

*

*

The time is up. Only Mariana and Bert have made it to the salon, and only Bert has a complete outfit. He also has a singlet, a pair of shorts, a pair of leggings and shoes from locals. Mariana on the other hand has firefighter overalls, a visor, gloves and a shirt, thus adding 8 bonus points in total. 28/80 points have been awarded for the mission. 

The winnings are not great for the mission and the pot is now at 549/938 points. Did the Mole strike? As Bert is the first and only contestant to have a full outfit at the salon, he receives a hidden exemption. Who will go home instead?
