I just realized that mr. Adrian Benzi has been getting allot of downloads on the sims3 exchange. I never even thought of him as someone other people would put in their game. Made me feel a bit warm inside. People love Adrian as much as I do.

Short Biography: Adrian awoke on a large open empty lot that oddly carried only a bed, refrigerator, bookshelf, and toilet. Looking about he suddenly felt compelled by the view, this beautiful vista just took his breath away. Then he realized he had no recollection of... well anything. Not even what he looked like. He felt a wallet in his back pocket to he grabbed and went through it. There was an ID for an Adrian Benzi. It said he was twenty two with brown hair and blue eyes. Looking at the picture Adrian felt pleased that this may be how he looked, he felt eager to find a mirror and check himself out, but knew he had more important things to do at this time. The wallet also included a gym membership, a library card, a frequent user cab card, five simolians and a small piece of paper which read:

Spoiler Alert: He forgot about Amber!
Day 1

Note: The story line actually follows what happened in his sim day. Just with dialogue and emotions added in.


An unexpected vibration went off in Adrian's pocket. Apparently he owned a cell phone. He tried to answer but got it too late. He couldn't call back because it was from a restricted number. He wondered if this was Amber. Adrian felt guilty that he could not remember her, from the note she sounded like they really had something strong together. But he couldn't let the past, especially a past he didn't remember in the first place hold him back. Adrian looked at his body, it was muscular and he could feel athletic energy flowing in his veins.

He knew that to survive he would need more than five simoliens so he had to get a job. And with his body what better path to follow than a sports career. Suddenly an idea came to Adrian, he has a cab card, maybe a driver could help him find a place to work. He called the number on the back of the card with his cell phone. It wasn't long at all before a driver arrived eager to take him wherever he pleased. "I've never been around this town before, I just moved in, but I'm looking to find a job involving allot of athletic activity" "I know the perfect place for yo
u to apply, and I heard they are hiring too! The LLama Memorial Stadium."

Adrian was excited to have gotten a job in the sports career path. He had to start out as a rabid fan, which wasn't his ideal situation, but a low paying job is much better than no job at all. He worked from 3-9pm Monday through Thursday and Saturday. Adrian could tell by his body that he was capable of vigorous athletic ability before whatever it was that caused his memory loss.
He decided that the only way to improve himself was to gain more athletic skill. He asked the cab driver to take him to the gym and once there Adrian worked out until he couldn't s
tand it any longer. He was completely fatigued.

Adrian though to himself how much he would love to buy a bathtub, but knew that he didn't have the funds. Besides he could take showers a the gym just as easily. After that workout he
definitely needed one. As he was walkin
g towards the stall he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. "WOW!" he thought "How awesome is it to just wake up one day and look like this" Some might consider his self admiration snobby, but he was just glad to h
ave not looked like a butterface. He felt so handsome it gave him a bit of a mood boost. Once he got into the shower he felt much better, that smelly sweat was all w
ashed off and he was squeaky clean. As much as Adrian wanted to stay at the gym and increase his Athletic skills he was too fatigued to do anything about it. He decided to go back to the lot and see what he might have on his bookshelf.

At home, Adrian was glad to find some instructional books on his shelf. One in particular seemed to be calling his name. Handiness Vol. 1: Unplug It First. He picked it up, laid on his bed and started to read, It interested him so much that after readi
ng it he definitely felt that he has increased his ability to repair electrical objects.

With hunger creeping up on him, Adrian decided he would check out the fridge. He had no idea how to cook anything so he decided to pull out some ice cream and try it. He didn't want to eat in his bed or standing up so he decided to go sit on his toilet. When he was done with his ice cream he realized he actually needed to use the toilet for it's original purpose.

It was now nighttime, and Adrian had a hard time even keeping his eyes open, he decided to finally have some shut eye, it has been a long first day.

Yea, Snob is the family trait.





Day 2


It was 1 am. Adrian awoke without notice. The night was silent and dark, whispering the secrets of those no longer living. Adrian knew this was coming, he was in a desperate situation and desperate measures were called for. He would have to go rummaging. We called went jogging to some houses on the other side of town, not wanting to take the chance of his actual neighbors seeing him. he went through the trash with a grimace on his face and extreme paranoia of getting caught. There is no way this was legal, and the last thing he wanted to start his new life with was a fine or a visit to jail. Mostly all he found was trash, he also got three newspapers, not that they were any good, a rubber ducky, a candle, and a space rock. What were they doing in this house to be throwing out space rocks?

After all that digging through trash cans Adrian definitely wanted a bath. So he headed off to the gym. luckily it was open twenty four hours so he wouldn't have to wait till morning. He took a long relaxing bath that not only helped him feel less revolted by the odor of his clothes from being in garbage, but also helped his sore muscles from working out the day before.

It was now morning but staying up all night really had Adrian tired. He decided to eat some jam on toast and sleep until he had to leave for work. When he woke up he was still a bit hungry so he drank a juice box and headed off. he was in a normal mood, but he got a great head start on his athleticism from working out the day before. After only his first day Adrian was aspiring to get a promotion. His co-workers agreed e was a littler over ambitious.
At work he decided he wanted to build his skills so he just worked out in the gym his entire shift. He felt as if he had reached a second milestone in his goal to become as athletically skilled as physically possible. His boss saw that he was working hard so he game him a book Adrian might be interested in, When to Rave and When to Riot, Adrian was excited to get started on it.

Coming home, Adrian now had seventy seven simolians, he felt much better with some cash in his wallet. He decided to buy a mirror on his way home. He loved to look at himself and didn't want to alway shave to walk to the gym to do it. He was upset to have spent fifty simolians but felt it was worth it.

Arriving at home Adrian decided to check the local paper. He was pleased to see that there was an Amateur Olympics event coming up, with a cash prize! Adrian knew that he would have to enter, but it was very late and he was tried from working out all day. He decided to slumber.


Day 3&4


Note: It's really weird, i keep typing David instead of Adrian and having to go back and fix it. shame on me mixing up my very own legacy founders name.

Waking up Adrian felt very hungry, since he was also in the mood to bathe he decided to jog down to the gym and eat for free. Once he got there he ate himself some ice cream and took a hot bath. For some reason today he was feeling lucky. And sure enough he gets a phone call from a Monika Morris asking if he could please help her fix her television. She said she would drop it off where he was living and he could bring it back to her later. Glad for any extra money Adrian accepted the offer and headed right home. He didn't have much time to work on it though because he had to go to work. his jogging had helped him athletically so he was doing excellent as far work, and he was in an outstanding mood too, which always helps. Instead of working out Adrian decided he would meet some fellow team members. Working so much made Adrian hungry and even though he was still in an excellent mood it wasn't as outstanding as before.

Adrian was able to get meet a Leighton Sekemoto, but not talk to him too much because he wanted to work out some more. His athletic skills boosted to outstanding and his, he still wanted more though. Adrian aspired to gan more athletic skill as he knew he would. Adrian's boss noticed how athletic and ambitious Adrian was. He decided he was perfect sports material and promoted him a snack hawker. This still wasn't quite what adrian wanted but he would be making more money, keeping the already familiar hours, and he received a bonus that day for one hundred twenty six simolians. Feeling good about himself Adrian was thinking about how much he'd like to check himself out.

He called a cab and went home. Still thinking about how awesome he was, Adrian decided to check himself out in the mirror. "Still handsome" he said to himself. With this bit of extra money he got from his boss he decided to buy a sink. This way he could eat dishes that required plates. after a quick meal of Jam on toast He got to work on Monika's television. He finally fixed it and was excited to bring it back to Monika the next day, but tonight he had work to do, dirty work.

Yes, it was another night of rummaging for Adrian, he didn't enjoy one second of it but was intrigued to find a lime, and a rainbow gem. He cleaned himself off at the gym and by then it was morning. He went to return Monika's T.V. to her and she was very grateful. He also learned that Monika is snobby just like himself, and that she is single. She thanked Adrian and gave him a fine sum for fixing her T.V. and Adrian was now up to six hundred twenty nine simolians. They had their goodbyes and he went home.
He decided just for the heck of it he's see if there was anything in the mailbox. maybe a note from Amber. But all he found was a bill, which he paid. He decided to look at himself in the mirror for a while, it was always a good self esteem boost. He decided with his bit of extra money he would buy an easel to practice painting and a stereo so he could listen to his favorite music and workout to it too.

Suddenly Adrian realized it was almost time for work, but he had not slept in a long while. he was still in a great mood and feel excellently athletic so he proceeded to exercise in the gym at work. As he got more tired his mood dropped down to a bad one, luckily just in time for him to get off, come home, and sleep it off.




Day 5

Note: eek i forgot to take pictures this day except at the very end. sorry. I'm new to this whole thing.


Adrian woke up with the sun and decided to start his day off with a nice carton of ice cream on the toilet. He was feeling lucky, so he decided to go to is favorite place in town, the gym. While waiting for an available treadmill someone caught his eye. Completely forgetting that he even came to work out he decided to chat her up. She was the lovely Zelda Mae, “that’ll have to
change if we marry though” thought Adrian “I couldn’t be wed to a woman named Zelda, how weird is that?” But despites his disapproval over her parents name choices he really liked her. They talked about the weather and money and all those things people just meting politely talk about. Adrian finally worked up the courage to ask if Zelda was single, and he was very leased to find that she was. Thinking this was perfect timing Adrian complimented Zelda’s appearance, but she felt awkward about it until Adrian being the gentleman that he is apologized to her. He decided he should probably et to know her a little better before making his moves. So he talked to her about politics and travel, himself (a lot), he found out that she works as a roadie in the music career, which he wasn’t impressed by, but not disgusted either. She seemed to be interested in science because she wouldn’t shut up about space and all Adrian wanted to do was talk about himself. It came to a point where both of them had to head of for work, so they said their goodbyes and hopped into their co-workers cars. Not wanting to break a good habit he decided once again to hit the employee gym and work out.
He was in a great mood and feeling pumped. He even learned some new things and reached a whole new level of athleticism. Apparently Adrian boss Mr. Mary Keaton saw something special in Adrian, or he felt he should test him because he gave Adrian an opportunity to prove himself bytaking his jog-o-meter and asking him to jog around town for an hour or so and return it once he had completed the task. Excited, Adrian jogged to the gym from work, took a shower, then jogged all around town stopping at the bookstore, the grocery story, the theater, and many other places. By the time he was done jogging many hours had gone by and the sun was starting to peek up. Adrian was very tired but knew he needed a shower first so he stopped b the gym, cleaned up and took a nap on the lounge chair, until he could muster the energy to call a cab home and sleep in his bed.




Day 6


Once Adrian awoke he felt that he wanted today to be very productive. So he checked his mailbox and paid his nine-simolian bill, ate a carton of ice cream, and called Zelda. She said she could only stop by for a short while but she would love to. When she came over Adrian was checking himself out, his confidence boosted and he complimented Zelda on her athleticism. Finding out that Zelda was flirty he decided to flirty with her a little more, and she flirted right back, until Zelda had to head off to work. It was Adrians day off so he decided to work on some painting skill. He painted for hours, but when he bladder overtook his want to paint he had to put down the brush and use his toilet, which broke. Adrian didn’t feel like unclogging the toilet right then so he ate some more ice cream and went to bed.









Day 7


In the morning Adrian realized he had some money he hadn’t spent and so he bought a table and chair, no more eating on the toilet for him. He wanted to further improve his handiness skill, but athleticism always comes first so after his bowl of cereal he headed to the gym. He knew he would have to take another one afterward but he was still in the mood to shower, so he took one before hopping on the treadmill. He felt totally pumped, until he took a whiff of himself and realized that it was time for that second shower.
He remembered that he still had to return the Jog-o-meter to Marty Keaton, so he jogged over to his place. Outside he met Marty’s wife Justine. He has thought of her for a second, but only a second because remembering when he had seen that movie Good Advice (anybody else love this movie? I do), he knew stealing your boss’s wife was definitely not a good career step. Justine let him in and he returned the jog-meter to Marty who gave him a cash prize for completing the task. He was now standing at 798 simolians Adrian stayed for a while and chatted about sports and work, which to these men are the same thing. At two, the carpool came fro both of them and they headed off to the stadium.
Right away Adrian hit the employee gym. He had gained enough hours to be eligible for the town fitness nut challenge, and body builder challenge meaning he would never have to feel fatigued again. Before he left Marty found him and told him that he was promoted to a Toddler Sports Coach, glad to finally be doing something on the field Adrian stopped at the store and bought a shower to reward himself before he went home, and slept.




Day 8




Note: Do Sims not dream anymore? I haven’t noticed any thought bubble above Adrian’s head in his sleep. =[
Adrian got up and grabbed a carton of ice cream, “good thing I’m so athletic or I could never get away with eating so much of this delicious mint chocolate chip ice cream” Adrian thought to himself. Then he took his very first shower in his very own shower, one that he quite enjoyed. He decided to paint for a while but felt like he should be more socially productive so he in invited Marty over to thank him for the promotion yesterday. Marty wouldn’t shut up about his vacation, and Adrian couldn’t stand to listen about other people too long without talking about himself, but he found that interrupting your boss to talk about yourself is not a smooth move. But he caught himself and apologized before changing the subject to work. With perfect timing because right then Marty had to go to work. Still feeling like he wanted some social interaction Adrian invited over Zelda. He was glad that she seemed ok with him not having an actual house, Adrian talked about himself a bit, which
Zelda also didn’t seem to mind, especially when he decided to turn the tables and compliment her. From that point they continued to flirt back and forth, until Adrian finally went for a kiss. Zelda on the other hand was not ready and got upset. Adrian apologized but was no longer in a mood to talk to someone so misleading so he asked her to leave. Then he unclogged his toilet so that he could use it, ate some more ice cream and went to bed.





Day 9



Now that he had a shower at his… lot, Adrian would work out without going to the gym. So he did some cardio to his radio and then painted for a bit, he got bored doing that so he worked out some more. Tired of eating Ice cream every day Adrian at some cereal, and then he showered. He was awfully tired so he fit in a nap before work, but his mood that had started off great turned sour as the sleep deprivation and hunger increased. Luckily someone brought in doughnuts and Adrian was able to get some food, which brought his mood up substantially, but when he got off work there was only one thing he wanted to do, sleep.
