Alice and Kev Challenge?
foofusmagee:
When i read the Alice and Kev story, i had to also make a homeless sim for my Sunset Valley.........
his name- Henry Earl. (He was actually based off a guy who lives in my real town)
traits- insane, klepto, Neurotic, slob, and inappropriate
His "house" is really a lot that looks like an over grown junkyard with tall trees and tall weeds. I randomly placed some household items around, but no bed. (only a bench)
he has cheapest stove, cheapest fridge, cheatest toilet and sink. The funniest part about it, is that everything is placed all over the place, so he spends alot of time walking from one place to
the other. I broke down and gave him a bathroom area, i know, but it is still outside because i only gave it one wall. he likes to go to the park and talk to himself, and has made a few
friends. Actually, he likes to invite people over, and one girl actually let him kiss her....now i want to make lots of homeless sims, WHAT FUN!!

In short, unless you can afford to furnish a house to sickening levels of opulence and your sims have nothing better to do with their time and money but wallow in decadent luxury, there is little reason you need a house at all! There's no weather, and in any case you would be unaffected by it while inside a community lot, you don't have to PAY for anything you use on a community lot, when your lot is empty you receive no bills, and nearly everything you can buy is inferior to what you can use in the field.
My only question is... where do they sleep? If the goal is to have no house at home and therefore no bills, where do you stick the bed?
J. M. Pescado:
There is nothing stopping you from putting beds on community lots. If you don't wish to do this, caffeination is also available.

I gave my homeless sims park benches and streetlights as their only furniture. If they want to shower or use a toilet there are plenty on community lots. I don't see the point of having "homeless sims" who own furniture and appliances, they will autonomously take naps on nearby benches or recliners if they are tired.
J. M. Pescado:
Furnishing their home lot defeats the point of having them be homeless, since now you have to pay for that crap on the lot! It seems our goals are a bit different here: You seem to be trying to create the APPEARANCE of homelessness, by actually providing them with an extremely badly-designed "home", whereas my goal is to truly capture the full benefits of homeless, that of no-expense, no-money-down living.
