Death by lawn clutter… what a way to go.
• A Controller scans for instances of gnomes, flamingos, and newspapers. When the number of gnomes, flamingoes, and newspapers reaches our determined threshold, the "unfortunate events" are triggered.
• At the next hour, a TNS (i.e. dialog box) appears warning the player that he/she has too much lawn clutter. This TNS is not shown in the movie.
• An NPC shows up and kicks a flamingo.
• After another hour, another TNS appears with a second warning, and the NPC reappears to kick a flamingo.
• If the player still has not removed the items from their lawn, at the next hour a final TNS appears which alerts the player that they are cursed to damnation by the SARB.
• 3 NPCs appear with bibles. They stop next to the mailbox, open the bibles, and curse you passionately.
• Fire drops from the sky: The fire effect was attached to the satellite animation, and is instanced to fall next to every flamingo and gnome on the lot.
• Flies swarm inside: The Flyswarm effect was attached to the fire-holder model and instanced under every counter (i.e. flat surface) in the Sims house.
• Insanity ensues.
