Episode 3: Just Another Day

 Jungkook sim vs Jungkook human

Taehyung sim vs Taehyung human

BTS - Mikrokosmos - 2019 MMA

INT. DAY - V AND JK'S HOME

On the screen the following words appear and then disappear.

 The Day After the Party...

SPW

(talks to self as normal)

V and JK own a fancy bathtub, so obviously this requires that it must be used at least occasionally. 

(then sighs)

Ah darn it, picture fail!  The walls are down and all...it has been too long since I have done a Sims story.

  Despite SPW's picture fail, the mudpack and petals do their job, and JK is feeling pretty good.

 

JK's phone rings, he answers it.

JK

Hello?

MIKO

Hello Jungkook!  I met you last night at the Party, and I was wondering if I can come over and hang out?

SPW

(ponders out loud)

Kookie needs more friends than just Tae, so...I guess...that should be a yes...a begrudgingly answered yes.  Nothing more annoying than Sim visitors.

 

Miko arrives promptly and lets herself in.

JK
How about we play some Chess?

SPW

Two for one deal here, it'll help raise his relationship AND raise his Logic skill level, which he needs for work.  

(pauses for a moment)

For some reason...

....what?!

  She does...why?!

SPW CONT...

I am affronted on his behalf!!  Rude!!  Getting on someone's computer without permission is a death sentence around my house...

V gets a call from Candy, a girl he met at the party.  She wants to meet up at a park.

SPW CONT...

(ponders some more)

Taehyung needs more friends/acquaintances than Jungkook...so another begrudging yes...

EXT. AFTERNOON - PARK
 

It was beautiful and sunny at Taehyung's home...but it is raining at the park.

SPW

(apologizes to Sim V)

 First time playing with Seasons in Sims4, so this part is all new as well. I didn't know it could be sunny in one place and rainy in another.  I'm sorry Tae!!! If I had known it was going to rain on you, I would have let you stay home.  He doesn't even have an umbrella or anything...

SPW CONT...

(sputters)

And even worse!!!  That other sim has the gumption to flake him and never shows up!  Unbelievable!!!

                             

Taehyung stands all alone in the park, the rain dripping off of him in great sheets of water.

SPW

(sadly)

I feel you Tae, I feel you.  Also, this park picture though.  If that isn't Life sometimes, I don't know what is...

 

EXT. NIGHT - OUTSIDE V AND JK'S HOME


Jungkook gets hungry, and heads off to the BBQ to grill some potatoes.

 SPW

They must be sweet potatoes, like in the KDramas, even if they look like regular baked potatoes.

When Taehyung gets home, he heads straight to bed, and Jungkook goes to sleep soon after eating his potato.

INT. MORNING - V AND JK'S HOME

The next morning...

 

Jungkook eats a potato for breakfast.

SPW

Numm yumm

And then updates his Instagram with a selca.

SPW CONT...

(mumbles to self)

Still working on those Fame points.  Should be bonus fame points for pajamas selca.

 

  After Jungkook is satisfied with his uploaded selca, he starts to practice his singing and guitar skills. Taehyung is already practicing his piano skills.

 

 Jungkook's phone rings, interrupting his practice.  He puts the guitar down and answers his phone.

JK

Hello?

MIKO

Hey Jungkook, this is Miko, want to hang out at the park?

SPW

(pauses game, and thinks out loud)

He still hasn't befriended her, so...I better send him off to the park.  Hopefully Miko shows up...

EXT. DAY - PARK

 

  SPW

Ah, thankfully she does show up...though she may regret her decision.  Jungkook is in a slightly crazed mood.  Not really sure why...?

Miko doesn't last long with JK's nonsense, and takes off pretty quickly.

SPW CONT...

He is never going to have any friends (beyond Tae) at this rate.  Only Tae puts up with him.

EXT. DAY - V AND JK'S HOME

JK hasn't exercised in at least 20 minutes, so he starts to feel a bit anxious.  The first thing he does when he gets home is hit the treadmill.

 

INT. DAY - KITCHEN

Taehyung is usually in charge of meals, so he starts to cook some lunch.

 

Taehyung stops in the middle of making lunch to take a picture of what he is cooking.  He uploads it to his Instagram, and then resumes cooking.

SPW

Wooooo!  Working on those Fame points!!!  So. slow.

When the meal is finished, Tae calls Jungkook in to eat.  After they finish eating, Jungkook decides to work some more on his guitar skills.  He is a hard working sim, he always wants to skill up on something.

SPW

(snorts)

Obviously the bathroom must have better acoustics...

SPW CONT...
(stares silently for a moment)
...and V...well...  

SPW CONT...

(chuckles)

Is V...

*ADDED NOTE 4/4/20 : I imagine SPW's voice as like a narrator voiceover...*

Notes: Skilling is super boring to watch after a while.  Poor guys, they spend a lot of their time getting those skills up.  Considering they are Kpop stars---they need to have dance skills too, so trying to get their singing, dancing, and playing instrument skills up plus all the random odd ones needed for their jobs.

  Jungkook gets more phone calls than Taehyung at the moment.  He got his first Fame point, and I put it on Noticeable. His phone number was made Public as well.  So now he gets trolled too, lol

  The girls in Sims4 are mean...standing people up, using people's computer's without permission...outrageous...ha

  Not too much progress towards Aspiration goals, been working on mostly job related ones at the moment.

  Also...in draft, my pics look pretty enough, but when posted, they look muddy, haha  So I may end up changing the picture edit---so, sudden color may be coming.  Pity, I really like the antique look.

  Korean language bit (Konglish) : Selca is the term many Korean's use for selfie, it combines the words selfie and camera.

  BTS song bit : Speaking about "Mikrokosmos" in a global press conference, J-Hope said: "You see buildings with their lights on late at night and that's someone working hard at something. Each one of those lights is what gives us these beautiful nighttime city views. The song is about giving courage and comfort to those people by talking about this warm attention and praise for all of these people."

  Thanks for watching the nonsense!  Stay tuned for the next episode!

Episode 2: Are You Ready to Party???

V (in front) Jungkook (behind) : the REAL DEAL

BTS "Dionysus" MMA 2019 Awards -Jungkook focus-

BTS "Dionysus" MMA 2019 Awards -Taehyung Focus

INT. MORNING - V and JK'S HOME

Jungkook bounds out of bed, ready for the day.

 

 Jungkook updates his Instagram. People ought to love JK in PJs...

Jungkook takes care of his necessary needs which includes some singing in the shower (more practice and inspiration!) and then he practices for work.

 

  V doesn't even get to say hello, his ride for work shows up and he is gone.

  ...time passes...

                                                                               ...and passes...

                                                            ...and passes...

 Like two ships sailing through the night, V comes home as JK goes to work.

 

  JK

I miss you Hyung.

  Taehyung's turn to practice for work.

  The phone rings and V answers it, on the other line is Manager Park.

  V

Hello Manager!  Hey, what is up with...

  MANAGER PARK

 Listen up, I have something important to tell you.

  V

What?  

MANAGER PARK

The Partihaus Club is having a meeting tonight, and you are invited.

  V

 I'd rather wait and go with Jungkook.

MANAGER PARK

No can do.  Jungkook works too late, and you need the meet and greet for your life aspiration.

  V

My what?!

MANAGER PARK

Never mind all of that, just get down there, and join the club.  Look for the crown, she is the one in charge, Jade.

V sighs.

 MANAGER PARK CONT...

 Also, the only way to gain fame quicker is to be seen!!!  So get out of the house, go be seen!!!

EXT. NIGHT - PARTY
 

V

Hi, I'm Taehyung.  Can I join your club?

 JADE

 I hardly know you.  Ask me again when I know you better.

  SCREENPLAY WRITER (SPW) sighs.  *spam socials*

V

Hi, I'm Taehyung, can I join your club?

JADE

Absolutely!!  We would love to have you!

V

Awesome!

  SPW does self high five, one thing off of V's checklist...

INT. NIGHT - COMMUNITY LOT

 

Taehyung engages his Dance Machine Trait...

A Dance Off insues between Taehyung and random hat guy.

  V is killing it.

SPW 

(wonders outloud to herself)

 ...but who won the dance off??? O.o

it never said

 

Taehyung's phone rings in his pocket.  He pulls it out to answer it.

V

Jungkook?  Aren't you supposed to be working?

JK

I just got off of work, and a co-worker of mine invited us to a huge, one of a kind, party.  Are you ready to party??

V

(happily)

I'll meet you there!

EXT. LATER THAT NIGHT - OLD RUINS

 SPW

(smiles happily to self)

They dance perfectly in sync...just like the REAL DEAL. Too cute! ❤️💜❤️

 

  Ten seconds later...

  Jungkook falls asleep on a stone bench and starts snoring.

 

SPW

(muses to self)

So apparently, these special parties, do not allow you to go home. This is Forced Fun y'all.  Poor Kookie though, he worked hard all day...I guess a stone slab works in a pinch...

  Tae takes one look at Jungkook sleeping so peacefully...and joins him.

SPW

(reacts)

XD

  ...meanwhile...

  The party goes on.

 

SPW

...how many hours has it been?  I've lost track...

(muses to self again)

What time did they arrive at this party anyway?  Uh, uh, oh, I guess long enough that Kookie wakes up feeling refreshed...

          

JK is ready to party again, and jumps back in without missing a beat.

  V wakes up and joins him.

 

Suddenly, instead of feeling the need to dance, Jungkook needs to do push ups.  He promptly starts doing pushups. Tae is used to him, and doesn't even bat an eyelash.

JK jumps up after doing several minutes worth of push ups, with his phone in hand, and a triumphant smile on his face.

JK

I recorded all of it, and now I can upload it!!

 

  With that, the party ends without any fanfare.  It gets a high rating, and both boys are pretty pumped from attending.

  They are even happier to go home, and get a couple more hours of sleep before work...

*ADDED NOTE 4/4/20 I have decided to add myself in as the Screenplay Writer, otherwise known as SPW...*

  Notes: I really had no idea that once you accepted an invite to that party, there was no going home until it was over!!  First Silver social for Tae!!  Yay!!

  I usually don't mess with parties...but there is Tae... *sigh*

  He needs to know a lot of people.  He needs to throw 3 parties.  At least their house has lots of things for people to do.

  I find it hard to build fame for both at the same time.  As far as I can tell, they don't lose fame?  I have been working on Jungkook's fame more than Tae's.  Once I get JK up, then I can focus on V's fame.

  Jungkook's aspiration, he needs to reach level 3 in 2 careers.  He had reached level 3 in the musician career, so I had him quit and become an actor.  I read somewhere that they gain Fame faster as an actor.  Once he gets through that, I'll have him quit and become a musician again, since that is where his heart is. <3

  I use different names intermittently.  V is Taehyung's stage name.  Jungkook doesn't have a stage name, his name is his stage name, but he has been called JK, Golden Maknae and Kookie...among many other nicknames, lol

  Mythology bit : DIONYSOS (Dionysus) was the Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity, madness and wild frenzy. He was depicted as either an older, bearded god or an effeminate, long-haired youth. His attributes included the thyrsos (a pine-cone tipped staff), a drinking cup and a crown of ivy.

  Korean Language bit :  “Maknae” is a term referring to the youngest member in a k-pop group. “Golden maknae” is used to indicate a maknae who is basically an all-rounder, a whole package; someone who has got multiple talents and or/abilities.

  Stay tuned for the next episode!!!  Thanks for watching!!

💜💜💜

Episode 1: Fame is Hard to Catch

EXT. DAY - DEL SOL VALLEY

Del Sol Valley

G.C.F in Helsinki (a film by the real deal)

  Del Sol Valley.  The sound of it, brings to mind heat and death, but MANAGER PARK swears up and down this is not true.  This is not Death Valley, but Del Sol Valley.  The who is who and the what is what, they all live in Del Sol.  Not sure if they actually believe Manager Park or not, JK (JUNGKOOK) and V (TAEHYUNG) decide to take a chance, roll the dice, and see what they can find in Del Sol.  They have nothing better to do at the moment, and if all goes well, they'll find success.

 V glances down at his phone, it only has 7 contacts in it.  Manager Park is one of them, and the other 6 belong to his brothers, well, band mates, but they might as well be brothers. The oldest five are not able to join them yet, so on this little adventure, it is only him and the youngest, Jungkook. 

V

We need to meet some people. 

Taehyung has to repeat himself, to get Jungkook's attention.

  With the push of a few buttons on his phone, he and JK are on their way to Studio PBP, reported to be the hottest spot in town.  Both he and Jungkook need to do some networking and get their name and talents out there, so the hottest spot in town sounds like the best spot.

EXT. DAY - STUDIO PBP

 

  There are plenty of paparazzi around, so they know they are in the right place. Jungkook waves to them, but they ignore him, almost like they don't even see him.  Tae has to do some pretty fancy footwork to keep from getting entangled in a way too friendly sim's arms. 

V Cont... 

(mutters)

"Sorry! I don't hug strangers." 

He makes his way to where Jungkook is standing.

  The enthusiastic sim is still following Tae, eager to keep trying to talk to him.  Jungkook can read the panic in his brother's eyes, and smoothly intercepts.  V makes a beeline for the door to the club while JK keeps the exuberant sim occupied, only to realize...they are not famous enough to enter this club.

CLUB BOUNCER

Only level 3 celebrities are allowed here. 

JK

 What level am I?

  JK looks at his phone.

 JK

(shocked)

I have zero Fame points! And no fans???

V

(shocked too)

  Really?!  Let me see.

 They both look at the Jungkook's phone, and then Tae's phone, and still the statistic boldly stands there.  Zero.  For both of them.

JK

 We have to start over?

V

(grumbles)

I knew the Manager was hiding something.

JK

(shakes head)

 This is a big something! Treachery, and from someone so close too!

He pushes some more buttons on his phone. 

JK Cont...

Looks like there is another club here, let's try that one.  It's called the Orchid A Go Go.

INT. DAY - ORCHID A GO GO

  They easily pass through the doors, and when they get inside, they can see why.  Not many people are there, just one lone elderly woman off in the corner talking to herself.

  Jungkook spies a microphone though, and heads straight for it. 

JK

(happily)

I'll sing a song Hyung.

As soon as he starts singing though, a gosh awful noise comes out of his throat.  He stops and stares at Tae, who is staring at him.

JK Cont...

(aghast) 

Was that me?

V

Couldn't be, right?  Try it again.

  Jungkook makes the same noise.

JK

(starts to panic)

What is wrong with my voice?

  Tae is already looking at his phone. 

V

(sighs)

It looks like your singing skill level is zero too. I guess we really are starting from the beginning!

 

 RANDOM WOMAN

I love your singing!  Please sing more!!

  Jungkook doesn't need to be told twice, he is always happy to make a fan happy, even if she is crazy old.  He starts to belt out some Opera.

  Taehyung notices that the club has a few more people in it.  Maybe they just arrived too early?  He pulls his phone out of his pocket to see if the club hours are posted anywhere, but he can't seem to find any.  He really wants to plug his ears so he can't hear JK's Opera, but he doesn't want to hurt his younger brother's feelings either.

  What was that old adage?  If you can't beat them, join them?  He won't be able to broadcast his voice quite as loudly as Jungkook can, still, he'd rather practice quietly and get his singing level up before approaching a microphone.

  A disturbance behind V throws him off, and he turns around to see what the big deal is.  The Big Deal turns out to be a star...of some sort.  She struts through the club, like she owns it, but she won't make eye contact with anyone.

BIG DEAL 

(strikes a pose)

I'm beautiful, I know it, go ahead and take a picture.

 

  V is bemused.  Should he know who she is?  And what happened to Jungkook???  He was there just a few moments ago...

  Jungkook didn't even notice the could be Star.  After singing his fourth Opera, he is feeling pretty thirsty, so he decides to grab a drink.  Now that he is sitting at the bar however, he also starts to feel pretty famished.  Is there anything worth eating here?  And wait, if he has to start over with skills and fame, does that mean he has to start over with money too?

  His crazy fan had given him some money, at least enough for a drink. 

JK

Hey barkeep, do you have a menu?

The bar tender slides a menu over to Jungkook.  The prices looked reasonable enough, but just how much money does he have anyway?  He tries to call his Manager, but she isn't answering.

 

 V

So that's where you went.

  JK

(wheedles)

Hyung, buy me food. I'm hungry.

  V

(sighs)

Order what you want.

  Jungkook happily complies, and before long is munching away on several different dishes.  After filling his belly, he is surprised when a yawn comes out.  It didn't seem like a lot of time had gone by, but apparently it had.

INT. NIGHT - V AND JK'S HOUSE

Back at home, they head straight for bed.

JK's phone pings, and a message from Manager Park is revealed.

 Sorry, was in meeting all day.  Did you need something?

 

*ADDED NOTE ON 4/4/20: I took a scriptwriting class in college, and decided to convert this to a screenplay style---will update all the chapters I have posted as I get time.*

 
  Notes: Super short. I am undecided on a lot of things.  Undecided on what tense, undecided on length, undecided on...ah well, I'll figure it all out as I go along.

  Fame is...hard!  I even thought it might be broke for a while, but no, it is not broke, just excruciatingly slow and painful...

  The celebrities are not nice either. =(

  I'm glad I only have 2 sims to keep track of right now, that keeps me plenty busy.  Trying to keep their motives up while getting stuff done so they can get promoted at work, while trying to raise their fame while trying to fulfill their wishes while trying to work on their life aspiration...whew!!

  I have a lot of different packs/expansions that I bought that I haven't done anything with.  Last time I actually really played was when the toddlers came out...even though I keep buying things...why do I buy things I don't use??  I guess for times like these.  All of that to say, JK and V might end up going on vacation to an island, attending University, visiting Strangetown, play with magic...a whole list of things I need to try out!!!

  No toddlers for them though...not for a REALLY long time...haha

  Korean language bit---Oppa (오빠) and hyung (형) mean 'older brother', noona (누나) and unnie (언니) mean 'older sister'. However, the meaning of these terms expands much further than just your blood related siblings.  Hyung is a word used by Korean males to address another male older than them who they are close to. It can be added on to a name ("suga-hyung") or used by itself.

  Stay tuned for the next episode.  Thanks for watching! =)

Intro: When KSims come to Town

~Introduction~

  What happens when two charming, talented sims move into the neighborhood?

•  a gameplay story 

• starring the two youngest members of BTS
•  more to join later (maybe)

Credits:

  I hate making/building anything in Sims4---so what I am using was made by far more talented people than I am.  I downloaded everything off of the Sims Gallery in game.

•   The House: version I downloaded said it was made by Annejca and the original was made by mmuseic.  It is called, " BTS Beautiful Home 5 BEDS".  It is a beautiful home! <3
• Jeon Jungkook : So many fan made versions of him, this is the one I thought looked most like him.  Made by thainabm.
•  
  
• Sim Details: Renaissance Sim; Traits: Music Lover, Ambitious, Active, Quick Learner 
• V (Kim Tae-hyung) : Again, a ton of fanmade versions of him, this is the one I liked best.  Made by grigkot  
• 
• Sim Details: Party Animal Aspiration; Traits: Dance Machine, Childish, Insider, Gregarious
• As per Korean naming practices, the name listed first is their last name, the one after is their first name.  
• Photoshop Action : I'm also terrible at Photoshop, so at the moment I am using an action by Lieveheersbeestje Old Tones V9 Old Time.

  NOTE: I haven't done much with Sims4, I preferred Sims3, but my Sims3 game is currently under construction (something somewhere is haywire with it) so I decided to give Sims4 another try.  At the moment I am obsessed with BTS music (like a lot of other people in the World, haha) and thought it might be fun to try out Fame and explore other things using BTS sims.  So I am attempting to fulfill wishes/lifetime wants/work related stuffs/etc.  V has a party aspiration, which should be interesting, I typically hate trying to throw parties in Sims... In Sims3 I could handle like 30 sims in a household (or more!!), but since I am pretty much a newbie with Sims4, I'll stick with 2 at the moment.  If I get better at managing them (or find a version of the others that I really like) I might add them later.  So this is just for fun for me, but I love writing stories more than just about anything---it makes the game more enjoyable. =)  Also, I want to get back into writing (and improve), so this works as a prompt of sorts.

  NOTE2: I love CC and mods, it is probably what is wonky with my Sims3 game, but since I use so many with it (and it has been like a year since I played so I don't remember half of what I have, ha) it will take a really long time to go through it all.  I used to have quite a few Sims4 mods the few times I played it, but this is pretty much a fresh install.  I only have one mod, by Scumbumbo, that lets me change autonomous options on the fly.  After playing about 30 minutes, all Jungkook did was drink water ALL the time, so I was off on a search to curtail that particular action.  I may or may not add as I go along.  I usually only add mods to fix things that bug the heck out of me...lol

NOTE3: I apologize for the pictures, hopefully I'll get better at taking them in game.  I wonder if there is a Sims4 camera mod like there was for Sims3?? *must remember to check*

NOTE4: Also, at the moment I have turned aging off, since I am trying to explore the game, I don't want to feel pressured with my poor sims' lives ticking away.  I may turn aging on later, but at the start, they are all going to stay the same ages... 

NOTE5: Hey---these Sims really aren't BTS...so... 
NOTE6: And this is Sims so...
NOTE7: This is sooo loosely based on them...super duper duper ooper loosely...

NOTE8: It's all in good fun, don't take it too seriously!! =p
