This thread is a collection of all my posts for "Maria's Realty", originally posted in the Happy Play Thread.
As for me, well, I actually made a new Sim. As I`m still stuck with building, I decided I needed someone to "help" me with budgeting my materials. So welcome Maria Stewart.
There's not much back story to her as she isn't a sim I use in my main games. Basically, she's studied business and wants to work in realty, helping sell and build houses for new homeowner sims. She was actually inspired by a thread that someone posted looking for a cute Bohemian home for their sim. We actually ended up building one too.
I think Maria turned out quite nice. And yes, she's already on the gallery.
***********
Our first customer:
Harlow Vlorn and his daughter, Lacey
Some of you might know him from my family showcase a while back. In Maria's save, he called her up just after leaving Melissa. Obviously, as it was very impromptu, he doesn't have a lot of money, but also wants a place for Lacey and himself so they can feel safe and start anew.
Looking for:- Place with two bedrooms and basic facilities
- Needs to be in a quiet neighbourhood, far from Oasis Springs
- Needs some means of music
- Must have comfortable beds
- Must have at least a teddy bear for LaceyBudget: $10,000
Note that doesn't include cost of the land
So Maria and myself set out to the lot in Newcrest next to the empty Boho residence to start building.
We found that by literally cutting corners, we could save up a bit of extra money here and there.
We even cut corners on the rooms. They're really small, but in Harlow's case, anything probably beats sleeping in a bed with his abusive ex-wife.
If one thing Maria wants for her clients is for the appliances and furniture to be as reliable as they can be depending on budget. With the cut corners, we could get quite a few things including toys and an activity table for Lacey, and an updated stove from the YumCooker. Also, all houses Maria builds are required to have an alarm and sprinkler system for safety, especially in homes with children.
Maria calls up Harlow to tell him the good news.
"It's a bit small, but it should do you. You and Lacey should be safe for now while you live here."
Harlow meets up with Maria to talk and thank her. They did hug, but I didn't catch it because of the freezing/lag bug. I repaired the game after this so hopefully the next customer won't have so much issue.
The house is on the gallery if you want it. It's called Cosy Corner Cutter.
***********
Customer #2:
Twiggy Caesar and her brother, Carlos
I don't think I have ever showcased this family (or maybe I did). Basically, they are the household I use for when I need to do a vanilla save test for bugs. Here, Twiggy wants to find a place with lots of land to do her gardening and allow her teenage brother to relax from the stress of their parents' divorce.
Looking for:
- Place with a lot of space
- Some place rural
- House itself doesn't have to be huge, but does need at least two bedrooms.
- A place for gardening
- An area for writing, thus meaning will also need a computer.
- Try to be semi-eco friendly
Budget: $20,000
Note that doesn't include cost of the land
Surprisingly a bit more of a challenge. Our budget is bigger, sure, but Twiggy is very much into the outdoors and wanting something semi-eco friendly means checking over specific items, some which may be expensive.
We decided to go with this big lot next to Agave Adobe. I know we could have went with a bigger one, but Maria didn't want to be overwhelmed. We can only work with so much.
Not exactly sure what to go with at first. We could have just made it the single house, but with Twiggy being outdoorsy, we wanted to be sure she got some fresh air and wasn't cooped up.
We eventually decided to go with something a bit different: Have the bathroom in a separate building, similar to an outhouse. We also decided to make a sort of shed for Carlos so he could work on his writing and just to escape as he is also a bit of a geek.
We decided, much like her brother's 'shed', that we would give Twiggy her garden space by making a large fenced area.
And this was the final result. We called it Sunny Side-Out.
As asked, it has two rooms although small with a basic kitchen and a sitting area with a bookshelf. Yes we went with the basic appliances, but it doesn't matter too much as Twiggy's place also has a cooler and campfire! We also put the dining table outdoors. Should a seasons pack get released, this could be modified. The best thing about this lot is most of the stuff is either semi-eco friendly, reclaimed/recycled, or just natural all around. We made sure to get as much as we could out of this budget.
As it was night, I didn't want to send Maria out right away to find another client so she decided to 'test' the lot. Oddly, instead of going to the fridge, she went right to the cooler for yogurt.
She decided then to test out the fire and, stun-like, burnt her arm. She's a realtor/contractor, not a girl scout so we'll cut her some slack.
After a brief moment of reading, she tested the computer out for a bit. We didn't get the all in one power PC, but this one should do the trick.
Helllooo Bella Goth.
Of course, we had to test out the bed. It's made from reclaimed barn wood.
Next morning, cooler cereal.
Eheh...eheh...no Don. She ain't interested. And no, she's not a scone either. Move along
The happiest "I gotta pee so bad firefighters would look on in awe* face ever.
Finally, we called Twiggy to tell her the place was ready.
They had a rough start but eventually Maria was able to get through her to show her excitement about the place.
"It's cool, lady. Although you kinda look like my grandmother in that get up. Loosen up a bit sometime, yeah?"
Eliza Pancakes walking home sad for some reason.
And finally, Carlos showed up to show his gratitude as well.
Comments
Ava Abaven and her daughter Lexie (AKA A Human Glitch?)
Now here's something interesting: Ava as human. As suggested about going with a single parent, I didn't want to go with Lucy and her kids as I usually do. Instead I went with Ava, although now having become a sim. Who knew she was actually a blonde (I checked with genetics)? Also Err, her daughter, is actually named Lexie (Randomized name). Story-wise, Ava has left her AI and immortality behind (Hinted with her arm tattoo having gone black), with Lexie having been remade in CAS as she becomes a sim by default and is now looking for a place to live. Unlike Harlow, she does have some more expendable income so building will be a bit easier.
Looking For
- A place close to a playground or park
- Must have at least three bedrooms
- Must have a study.
- Must have a workshop for crafting.
- An activity table for Lexie
Budget: $50,000
Higher budget but a bit more of a challenge for location. In this case, we didn't build in Newcrest, but rather in Oasis Springs because, compared to Willow Creek, it had a much better playground/park area.
We decided to go with this lot close to the park. Obviously, this house just won't do so we had it demolished and will put the money towards a public build in the future. Note to self: Keep track of funds.
I wasn't sure what to go with at first, although I did know that we would go with something with more than one floor as we had more money to work with and there was quite a bit requested.
This was our final result: Sandy Dune Oasis (Original name right?....lol)
Ava requested three bedrooms instead of the usual 2 that others had requested. I'm wondering if she was hinting at something? Not sure. I don't play her so.
The downstairs with study as requested. Ava, like Maria, is a genius so needs somewhere to study and work to increase her mental skills.
Living in Oasis Springs, I figured it might be good to have a pool, especially since we had the extra money that we could do so.
And Ava's workshop. She's a renaissance sim so, like Emma from my Main Save, she will also need something to work her handy skills.
This was another "we built in the night so let's test the house" sort of deals. Yup. Computer's workin' fine.
The first thing Maria ever 'cooked' in her life. She cut herself a bit but at least she didn't sneeze in the salad.
I keep forgetting how busy Oasis Springs is compared to a lot of places. I actually found Twiggy walking out and about as she passed this girl that's a member of the Paragons I think.
The scowl says, "Like, what a hipster."
Sergio looking dumbfounded as if he's thinking, "Wow! What a hipster!" Get that cloth from your pocket, bub. You're droolin' on the pavement.
Hellllooo Bella Goth.
No, we didn't sleep in Ava's bed, but we did test out watching TV from the bed. As it is with Maria, she turned on the cooking channel to increase her skills.
Maria actually slept in the guest bedroom
So last time,we built a house for Ava and Lexie and then tested it out. This morning, before we could even go for coffee, we were suddenly greeted with the welcome wagon. I was sure that was bugged or something.
Woman loves her yogurt.
Okay. This has got to be the funniest scene I have had yet: Maria gets out of the shower just as the welcome wagon comes and then we get a text from a kid she's never met asking if she wants to join a club of rebels. Kid, she's old enough to be your mom and....ooohhh...right...Sorry kid. Still, no.
And it turns out the neighbour is Johnny Zest. I could think of worse people to have over. Maria invites him in anyways, although explaining her actual purpose in the house.
The two start talking and Johnny gets an interest in Maria's work, requesting if she also does renovations and makeovers. She seems really excited.
"Now it may cost a bit, but I'll check out the place when I can, okay?"
It was around lunch and the welcome wagon was still going on so I had Maria fix grilled cheese sandwiches for her and Johnny.
"What the heck am I doing?!"
Johnny's a nice guy, although a bit of a goofball. He turned out to be the friendliest person to Maria yet.
As if on cue, Miss Landgraab shows up all angry. Maybe she heard the rumours about the Landgraabs and Johnny Zest?
Johnny explains the situation, which seems to shock Maria. Definitely know our next customer. After Johnny left, we went for the daily coffee.
Yeah Bob. From what I've heard, I don't blame you sizing up Maria. Either or you're so hungry you're sizing her up like a scone. Don't you go pulling creepy Don Lothario on me, Mr. Pancakes. I actually like you.
We call up Ava to tell her the house is ready.
These are definitely modern sims. When we go to visit, Ava is already in her study on the computer playing Blic-Bloc. Can we have this as an actual game?...lol. Yeah, yeah I know. It's just Tetris for Sims.
Maria gets to also meet Lexie who joined her and Ava in the study.
"Maybe you should be careful, Miss Stewart, or I'll tell Mommy that I found Grilled Cheese in the fridge."
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Customer #4: Johnny Zest
For this story, Johnny saw Maria's work on Ava's place and asked her to see about some renovations to his trailer.
Looking for:
- Just renovations. No adding or subtracting from the building itself.
- Landscaping is allowed
- More color
- Keep the flamingo
Budget: $15,000
Before we work on Johnny's place, we had to get rest for the night. Before that though, Maria decided she wanted to read a book.
And then decided that reading outside might be nicer.
The next morning we had the welcome wagon...right when Maria was showering. As there is only one neighbour in Newcrest, it was obviously Harlow. I may move her to the future business district so we can avoid future welcome wagons. If I keep moving her back and forth, I don't need Harlow coming over each time.
No need to try and call her, she'll be out in a bit. Do you seriously want to see her naked?....Uh...Don't answer that.
She showed him some pics of her latest work.
This is our mailman? O-o
They eventually moved over to the living room to chat, the welcome wagon visit still going on. Oddly enough, neither Johnny or Harlow brought fruit cake. Then again, I still got Sakura over in Main Save with that bug so maybe it's not a bad thing.
I gave Maria the "Always Welcome" trait as she had accumulated a lot of points from our building contracts. I guess it affects her reaction to other people too as Harlow just went into our fridge and grabbed the last grilled cheese.
I know the visit is over, Harlow, but you should know better than to leave it on the floor. There's a free table over there in the kitchen.
After the visit, we went to see Johnny and his trailer.
He was actually outside on his tablet reading something. He was really focused.
Aw! This Johnny Zest actually became an entertainer!! If you read his backstory, he actually wanted to become a comedian, Johnny Zest being a stage name after the Landgraabs kicked him out. Poor guy.
Maria steps in and ooohhh....I think we know why he needs a renovation. I know it's a trailer, but good mighty it needs a unicorn to fart some rainbows on it. Or at least colors other than storm grey and sick sea blue. We can work something with this red and gold though.
Maria shows Johnny her ideas for the place.
"Ah-ah! You leave it to me! Once we're finished, it'll be a whole new place!"
Now then, time to make the Johnny Zest's trailer from Drab Flab into Dab Fab! First things to go! The mod pod sleeper bed and the...ugh...level 1 appliances. With $15,000. We can do so much better.
I will say now that I did this a bit different. I didn't have Maria and Johnny move around, as I didn't want Johnny to lose his job if he ended up being played. Instead I just built, manually calculating the funds on my phone.
Sprinklers are a must. Actually found out they're supposed to go on the outside wall, not inside.
Even if the colors are brown and yellow or gold, they can add so much to a room!
With the extra money from the renovations, we added a pool! When living in the desert, you need some means of cooling off, and sometimes other than air conditioning.
I know it doesn't look like much, but this is a lot more pop than before. That and Johnny even has more sitting space for guests. I tried four chairs to a table, but it made everything look crowded.
I sent Maria home to get some food. She made excellent mac & cheese and this is only her second time cooking!
Well can't say that your folks aren't making you work, Malcolm. But man I wanna slap that snooty look off your face!
Figured Maria should try this movie thing. We watched that "Diamonds Are Forever" or something one. She chose it, not me.
She was crying in this shot, although at what part I have no idea. I didn't declare it her fav. I may watch others and see her reactions. Would be nice if they could kinda do this autonomously.
And while she watched her movie, I got distracted by Twiggy fishing in the pond across the road.
Then we went to the cafe as usual. The glasses are just for show, Mr. Landgraab?
Maria was talking to Harlow when this happened. Whoops!
So after the cafe I figured sending Maria over to Johnny's place to see what he thought of it. To our surprise, he was already at the cafe! So we found him and chatted. "Yeah it ain't bad. Thanksa bunch!"
Awkward...
"Yeah, yeah. Don't mind her. If she wants her place done up, she can pay for it."
And then the two hug. Aw. what an ending.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
First though, we hit up the library so Maria could have some mental stimulation.
I had Maria take up a book on Logic so she could have a new skill to develop. I was considering the violin, but I really don't see her playing an instrument.
I saw this old guy and that Max kid fighting. I found out that the old guy is actually his dad. Oh my. No wonder he looks like he could eat one's soul.
Hellooo Bella Goth
Finally after some food and shower, we hit the bars. At the first one, Don Lothario was actually working.
Apparently it was Knight Night. As one can suspect, Mortimer Goth had a costume. Swears that guy was probably some geeky cosplayer back in the day. It's kinda awesome.
Other knights arrived as well including this one, Nancy Landgraab, who was apparently sad.
"Mr. Goth, I have no interest in you. Please stop trying to flirt with me."
We eventually went to the cafe for food and coffee, Maria chatting up this nice girl, the one that gave Twiggy the glare one time.
With the confidence of America Coffee, we were ready to try another bar! Allons-y!
Took me a moment to figure out who this was but looking closer, it's Twiggy!! Seems she decided to get a job working at the bar.
The only other person that was here was Ava. While she's a really nice lady, I really don't see Maria hitting it off.
What is it with everyone around Maria getting flirty?!
Maria eventually clunked out like any sim out on the town.
With early morning coming up, Maria actually ordered a drink and chips all autonomously! Usually you need to force a sim to do both!
Eh...Spoke too soon.
There we go.
**********
And now, back to the adventures of Maria Stewart, Realtor/Contractor and apparently, flirt coercer?
This time, Maria was tense again so I figured, why not check out that giant mansion, Von Haunt, in Windenburg.
It's a nice spread I must say.
I sent Maria to go read the plaque and...uhh...Maria...That dresser thing is...floating. o-o
Lady Shallot (?) was flirty too. Dang it Maria!
Hellooo Bella Goth. Hey she keeps showing up.
Maria was soon talking with Miss Ghost and this guy.
Maria ran off to the bathroom and...Gah! Mr. Landgraab!
I think she was justified to telling him off.
As we were freaked out by the ghosts and still embarrassed, I sent Maria to the pool. Either he works here or Marcus just wanted to go swimming.
She was quite enjoying it.
Then I saw this missus in the shower...messing with it.
In fact we had stumbled upon a meeting of the Renegades.
Who cares if they're infamous, Maria. You're an adult woman, tell them off!
We find out the redhead, Fyres I think?, is Good. What? Yeah I don't get it either Maria.
So after that mess, I sent Maria home to relax and get a nice steamy shower to try and hit up the lounge scene. I think Maria was tired of young adults and teenagers. And the first thing Maria did was try a flirty introduction with the guy playing the guitar. And it was autonomous too. I only made her flirty to see what she would do. His name is Peter Roco.
She even stayed around during his comedy bits, although I like to think the poor guy was trying to sing and confused as to why everyone was laughing.
After the show, Maria sat down and chatted with Peter, along with Harlow, Mortimer Goth, and Ava. And believe me, you don't wanna see what Ava's wearing. Let's just say I missed an outfit when converting her over to human and it does not work with her human form.
Thank the mighty she changed into her other party gear after.
And at the end of it all, I sent Maria to the library to practice her chess skills. We had the whole thing to ourselves.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
We start first with a movie. As usual, I let Maria choose. I'm sure we'll find one she prefers.
A horror flick? Okay...
While Maria watches her movie, I decided to look around. I found Joaquin (Spelling?) Le Chien fishing. What is with this pond?
Hellooo Bella Goth. We'll actually be coming around your place later.
Dancing zombies? Are we watching a Llyod Kaufman film?
Just after the movie, Maria gets a call from Mortimer Goth, wanting to meet her for a very important proposal.
We go to his place, it even said he was home, but we didn't find him. And yes, I searched this pic. If he is there, it's like playing a game of Where's Waldo?
As he wasn't home, we went out to the cafe and...Don stop being creepy!!!
This is how restraining orders start, Donny.
Stop. being. creepy!
We soon went to the library, Maria taking up a book to read, which she actually almost finished!
She eventually found Peter Roso at the computer. Dude, really? You're dressing like my grampa. At least you got a nice suit for work.
Maria tried to converse, but he didn't seem interested. Yeah I'd be mipped too, Maria.
"Are you even listening?"
After Peter left, Maria actually went autonomously to write some jokes. Guess Peter was a bit of an influence. She has found, however, she
is not exactly a comedian.
**********
And now back to Maria's Search for her next client, Mr. Goth.
So after the library it was starting to become evening so we hit up the usual haunts. First up, the lounge.
Okay, Marcus. I know you're into exercise and whatnot, but good mighty you're adorable with those glasses. You sure you're not a geek?
Peter entertaining as usual and Liberty Lee dancing while looking like she was dressed by Steve Urkel.
And she was still dancing...
And even when Peter was finished on guitar, she kept dancing. Okay Maria let's try thebar.
Twiggy was on again and I swears Mr. Looney Bin is always here.
It was guys night so no surprise Mr. Landgraab showed up for the cheap drinks. As revenge for catching Maria with her pants down, we tried the joybuzzer. Unfortunately, as said before, she's not a comedian so...
After the shock, Maria decided to try and make amends with Mr. Landgraab. The two are all that friendly, but she doesn't want to chew him out.
The next day, we tried the Goths again and OMG we found Waldo....I mean Mortimer. Yes he was eating cereal, yes Maria had to pee.
Maria sits to talk to him.
"So what did you want to discuss with me?"
"Follow me."
"See these candles? This style?"
Mr. Goth explains that he wants to build a Victorian style public library and says he will give us a budget of $150,000 to build it.
"M...Mr. Goth, that is incredible. I'm sure we can build something great with that much!"
It also mean a big amount for Maria's work too.
Late again, back to the lounge and...whoa what's wrong with you, Peter?
And then he chews out Maria! What the heck man!?
Needless to say, Maria was not impressed,giving Mr. Grouch a good glare.
Mortimer Goth was there and the two chatted.
"He insulted a fine lady like you? Well then that is not fair at all."
Mortimer appeared to have a few choice words to the man that chewed out his new friend.
"You sir, have made enemies with the wrong person."
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Looking for
- Victorian Style
- Lots of Flowers
- Candles
- Statues
- Paintings
Budget$150,000
Total Cost: $143, 313
Story goes that this library originally burned down, Mortimer Goth wanting to rebuild it after 100+ years as he acquired all the old surviving antiques from it.
We seriously had no idea what we were going start with.
Finally we started over and went with a shape a bit closer to the final result.
Once we set it as a library, Maria went back to check it out and holy sweet mighty the librarian is actually at the desk set for him.
Although it looks like he's just browsing the web. Then again, actually working said job, you do get those hours where there's nothing else to do but google your name. Not often, but once in a while.
Bob, the book is not food.
Yes Maria, I'd be proud of this too.
We called Mortimer to invite him over to see the library, although apparently he was busy.
So we played chess instead.
Attempting to visit him said he was at the lounge. Of course, he was not there. Peter was entertaining with another lady. This pic is actually kinda cool.
Maria ordered a drink, probably from the frustration of trying to find Mortimer "Waldo" Goth.
We finally went to his place and...seriously Mr. Goth? Just when she went to the door? Maria, he's over here.
She told Waldo about the library.
He was quite excited.
Player! I need to pee!!
And thank the mighty they had one upstairs as Mr. Goth had claimed the downstairs one.
Alexander, I know your family is a bit different, but I'm quite sure your parents would want you out of their room!
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
And lo and behold! An invite to a dance party at The Bluffs from Harlow. Plum yeah!
She was quite happy to have been invited.
Hellooo Bella Goth. Hey I'll stop the running gag when she stops showing up everywhere.
Mr. Landgraab you're kinda reminding me of that uncle that only has one dress shirt and wears it everywhere. Either that or you remind me of Ned Flanders.
Apparently Landgraab is trying to do this 'hip' thing all the younger 'kids' are doing. Here's hoping it doesn't actually 'break' an actual hip.
Uhh....Why are you looking like that?
So apparently, like in real-life, you get the right music and your sims will change mood. As well as it changes the dance. Maria looks so cute!
So as she was flirty we decided to take advantage of this and compliment Harlow on his appearance. Am I the only one that saves before these moments? I'd just hate Maria to be snubbed....lol. That's just me of course.
I guess Harlow was thinking something because it looks like here he's a bit jealous or worried about her talking to "walkin the dog." He doesn't have the jealous trait, don't worry.
Eventually Maria inhaled a bit too much of that 'fog' and got a bit buzzed. And like anyone buzzed, right into the bush we go. Wooo!
Still buzzed? Sugar cookie munches! Originally they were supposed to be for Harlow during a visit but he wasn't home so she brought them with her.
Oh boy. Maria is out of it. Time to head back home, girl.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
How to start your Pub Crawl: Maria Style.
Step 1: Take a flirty shower and get dressed up for the night. It is preferred that your sim has watched some romantic TV as well, but it is not totally need.
Step 2: Avoid sketchy bartenders. Nope! Nope! I remember the last look he gave. C'mon Maria. We're going to the Shrieking Llama!
Step 3: Realize that bartenders work in shifts. Twiggy must work later in the night. Also, who brings coffee to a pub?
Step 4: Chat up people while you drink up. Once Bob Pancakes makes you hungry from chatting, hit up another pub.
Step 5: Accept that Don Lothario always...Twiggy why are you washing your dishes in the sink back there? You're at a pub and you're not working. Let Mr. Potential Restraining Order do that.
Step 6: Question your past clientele's company. Twiggy I know you're single and got a teen brother at home, but this guy don't look like your type, girl. Ah well. Ya never know.
Step 7: Order food and juice together. While it's said food helps absorb anything from the juice, some consider it a myth.
Step 8: Join in on conversations to make things interesting. Don't forget to bring your food and drink.
Step 9: Accept that you tend to have an aura around people. AKA Maria makes every flirty!
Step 10: When the bars are done, try other spots such as the lounge. Not often we see you two out together, Mr. and Mrs. Landgraab.
Step 11: Listen and enjoy some music. Seems Peter was to be on later. Who wears these clothes to work though? Maybe she's a country singer?
Step 12: Chat up potential business just as your potential crush appears. Hi Harlow.
"Miss Stewart, I'm over here wanting to discuss a possible build."
"Ahh...yes Mr. Landgraab. I'll call you. Excuse me"
Step 13: Compliment and try to make your friend/potential crush feel better when you realize they're tense for some reason. Bad time at the llama game, Harlow?
Step 14: Insert running gag. Say it with me. "Hellooo Bella Goth."
Step 15: Hug your good friend/potential crush before you head off into the night after chatting them up.
Step 16: Walk home plum tired with the widest, silliest grin on your face after one awesome night.
And that's how you do a Pub Crawl: Maria Edition.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
First off was visiting Mr. and Mrs. Landgraab to discuss a possible build deal.
Mr. Landgraab wasn't home so we went to chat with Mrs. Landgraab.
"So I was wondering Mrs. Landgraab..."
"Hold on! I'm telling off this person on the internet. 'Simder's director knows nothing about comedy. Movie sucked. 1/10. How can you defend that trash?"
"Now what were you saying?"
That look pretty much is the equivalent to the proverbial facepalm.
Maria shows her some pictures of her past work and explains her job.
I sense a disturbance in the force. As if two women were talking about me, and then went silent. But why?
Talking with Landgraab, we finally learn that he wants to build a playground/park area in Newcrest. An odd request as we usually work buildings, but hey, whatever works. And they do have the money. Ohhh booy.
That evening, I took Maria out shopping for a bit and yes, that is @Simslover163 's sims Blake and Mason (Sorry if I messed up the names. XP) working the shops in Magnolia Promenade. I still find it comical that they both decided to work at the same thing.
Maria got excited for a new track suit. I do take her out exercising once in a while.
The World's Saddest Chair!
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
As Maria needed a bigger house for her latest aspiration (which will help majorly in the future for build supplies), I planned on moving her out. We decided to visit Harlow, her friend/potential crush/neighbour to just talk and the like before we started the big move.
I figured before anything, the two should at least be best friends. Although from the screenshot, it looks like they accidentally ran into each other and did a comedic splat.
Then the most magical thing happened: They autonomously embraced and the lil pink bar showed up!! I sadly missed the embrace, but I was so excited!!!
Seems Maria was too.
Now that Maria has started to crush on Harlow, I figured it was a perfect time to take up an instrument, since he is a music lover. I don't see Maria really playing guitar so violin might work....We're gonna need to work on that.
Later that day, Maria went to visit Harlow again, this time with Lacey around as it was a Saturday.
Hellooo Bella Goth.
I'm starting to think she knows she has become a running gag.
I had them take a pic for Maria's wall, hoping to get Lacey in the shot. Too bad on the latter, but man they're adorable!
And this is why I'm not allowed to initiate romantic interactions anymore when it comes to Maria. I decided to see if they would embrace, but Harlow backed off, which made them both embarrassed. I'm thinking maybe because Lacey was around. I'm sorry you two!
Again, remind me I'm never allowed to mingle in her plans of courtship!
And yeah. This is where we ended up. Don't worry, Maria. We'll head out to the bar next time, make some friends, and eventually get a bigger house.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Hmm...I wonder who might be an alien in disguise.
If we go by with the disguised aliens wearing that CC artificial arms I have, I apparently have Terminators in Maria's world. O-O. Sara Conner you're not in this game, right?
Finally, an actual alien showed up!
I don't know if guy is an alien or not. I do know he was apparently sad and went to hide in the closet.
And another one. She's kinda pretty.
Dang it Maria! We've made everyone watch the romance channel!
Too bad I didn't catch the brain scan. Maria looks really surprised though.
"You're not Sara Conner?"
"Wh...Who?!"
Seems Maria was quite proud to find her out though. Maria is definitely a quirky sim.
And now, Maria's new house. We moved to Oasis Springs and bought this place. Eh...tis a bit drab...
Much better.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Harlow what's wrong? I'm gonna assume maybe he didn't spend enough family time with Lacey, but maybe he's lonely, or stressed. Life is pretty tough when you're a single dad wondering if you can make it day by day.
Maria spoke to him and he began to perk up, Lacey even saying hi.
The two eventually sat down and I caught Maria blowing Harlow a kiss! Woot! Again, remind me I am never allowed to meddle in their courtships! This woman knows what she's doing.
Ooo! Steamy conversation there, Maria?
The two actually started dancing together.
Uhhh Maria? That's not exactly subtle!
Eventually, Harlow had to go to bed, Maria running off into the night. Sweet dreams, Harlow.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
He was inside watching-what else- the comedy channel. I find it funny that in Main Save, he's a high ranking scientist (Not as high as Glitch though) and in Maria's save, he's living his dream of being an entertainer. Sim worlds and timelines are funny like that.
Maria I know your fun is down a bit, but that's his tablet. Ah well. She's got that 'always welcome' trait. Guess that includes using people's tablets too.
They were having a pleasant conversation when Maria autonomously got a phone call. I think it was Landgraab.
"Yes sir? Oh! You forgot to tell us something?"
"Oh wow that would explain things, Mr. Landgraab."
Apparently, we're not exactly building a park/playground, but fixing up one that the Landgraab's bought in Newcrest. I'm sure there isn't too much damage.
I set Maria to give Johnny a hug, and apparently, they needed to go outside to do so. I was looking around though and then noticed a familiar face.
Holy buckets, Harlow! What's wrong? Maria? Come here? Shoot. He disappeared before we could catch him.
We ran straight to his place and...Harlow that's not your bed. Man, he was crying though. Poor guy!
Aw man! Maria? You mind getting in here? I know you aren't at the level of cheering someone up, but man this looks serious!
Don't worry, Lacey. Maria's just having a chat with your father in your bedroom. Ngh that face.
It seems the stress and worries of being a stay-at-home dad take their toll, as this is twice we've seen him depressed. One sec while I go attack the ninja onions!
In her own fashion, Maria tells him a joke to cheer him up, which does seem to work. I think it's that duck one where they sound like a chicken.
"I know this may sound weird, Harlow, but the player had an idea so you and Lacey won't feel so lonely. I have a larger home now with extra rooms. Want to move in with me?"
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
And apparently so could Harlow! I got a notification that my fitness skill was maxed and couldn't figure out where. Seems Mr. Vlorn has been busy.
Really busy apparently. Harlow, love. I know you and Maria aren't exactly together yet and the Landgraab's fortune is tempting, but Nancy's married. That and you would probably fall into the same situation as before with Melissa. Maybe. We'll see how it pans out.
Dear Brody and Harlow. I want your children. I don't mean in a fangirl sense. Tell Lacey and Abbigale to come to my place to clean up sometime. AKA Lacey took this out on her own, kinda like what Abbigale does with the dishes in Main Save.
Taking after Dad it seems for music.
The guitar came with the house so I figured since Maria is working on her violin, why not let Harlow try the guitar. He was at least enjoying himself, even if he needs the practice.
Next morning, Maria and Lacey had a lil bonding time. I do the same thing as I do with my other kids: 4am wake call!...lol
Harlow I know you got a good body there, but if you're going outdoors to talk, at least put on actual pants and not your underwear. Then again, this is the same guy I caught skinny dipping at a pool in Main Save. Is it possible for him to be a closet nudist?
Peter I know Maria didn't choose you after, but this is just creepy, man. She's a teenager! Either that or you're really hungry and trying to bum for free food.
Still a long ways to go with that violin.
Eventually Mr.Closet Nudist turned on a romance. Maria joined him after, although it didn't result into anything.
I gave Harlow some more shirts for his wardrobe and this was one of his new ones. And no Harlow. Just cause the salad has no calories doesn't mean you can eat all of it.
I sense a disturbance in the force. As if my side fling was laughing and having fun....without me.
Clean-up time. Harlow washed the counter autonomously when I was about to make Maria do it. Gosh I love these three already.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Hmm...that looks familiar...
Yup. At least it wasn't Harlow.
And then they just plop her down like a sack of potatoes. "We hit the wrong house. Sorry."
Wow. She got zapped pretty bad. Well you gotta head to bed anyways. Oh wow...
So yeah. Even when my guys aren't in a save at all (May be bringing Sakura and Peter's family in this save, not sure yet), the aliens come around. Guess they just love my sims. ...lol
************
As promised, here are some pics of the Landgraab's park that we had to fix.
Oh....Aw man! This isn't a park, it's a dump! Hah...C'mon Maria. We gotta fix this place up.
There! I think that's a decent job, right?
As it was early morning, I had Harlow cook while Maria got a bath. Please don't burn down the place.
Really Maria? He's making scrambled eggs and you're getting a salad? You don't need to watch your weight at the moment ya know.
Yeah we still need to work on those folksongs.
With Lacey gone to school, I had Harlow follow Maria to the park. She called Landgraab to invite him to see the new park, but he was apparently busy.
Phil trying to up his logic it seems.
Phil looking at the gardener as if to say. "What are these two doing?"
Maria and Harlow soon cuddled under that gazebo shrine thingy.
Yeah...As I said once before, I think they're stalking my saves
Maria was out of it. Aliens know how to really mess you up.
Maria you should go to b-
"I EAT EGGS!!"
Maria...Time for bed...
"LEMME GET EGG!"
Oh boy...
And Harlow is asleep the whole time. Oh be happy they didn't come after you.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Maria and Harlow just finished lunch, the two chatting about going to the park.
"Ngh...I wanna steal somethin'..."
"Grr...I wanna break something..."
Wait...That lil red dot...Is that?
Why yes! Hellooo Bella Goth.
While yes, the Landgraab's Revival Park is rather nice, it also tends to be a rather closed off area. Magnolia Park seemed like a good spot.
You're the richest man in Windenburg and have a house. Why are you sleeping in the parks? Yes, you're insane but...why the park?!
I had Harlow and Maria sit on a slightly secluded bench, Maria autonomously flirting with Harlow. Ngh...They so close...
And then the two hug. N'aw!
But that's not what we're here for. Maria? Go for it! Woot! Now that's a Valentine's background right there...LOL.
Harlow was over the moon!
Uhh...Maria? You don't just kiss and run. That's kinda rude. Especially when you run off to watch a chess match.
See even Mason agrees.
So I had them move over to this quiet point...where Harlow asked Maria to be his girlfriend! As you can see, these two were really excited.
And then, a cute embrace.
Although, something a bit extra once they got home.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
We started the day with gardening, or in this case, mopping the lawn.
Oh my. Hey @RedDestiny92 ? Make sure Kendra doesn't go taking our stuff. She's got the Villareal's for that. Eheh.
Lacey needed to get her fun and social up so I had her talk to Dino. Thinking of renaming him.
And Mr. Semi-Nude goes strumming. Yes I know she loves him but I swears when they go out on a night sometime, he's gonna go full-on commando when I ask him to change sometime.
Luckily we did put pants and shirt on though when we went out for a kiss.
Lacey's gone to school. Seems like a perfect time for a date. Invisible taxi, get us a ride to the lounge! Harlow, you're paying.
We have Beethoven apparently at the lounge.
I'm just gonna assume Harlow is talking about his ex here.
Johnny, you're a good guy, but you seriously don't need to be pulling a Jeremy Jinglebottom. Let MattShea's sim keep that look.
"And then she...ugh! You could never really understand what it was like!"
Johnny! Move!
After Johnny finally moved, the two moved in to kiss. Hey it says we have to do 10 socials. Kissing counts.
Have I said before these two are adorable!
Sweet-like, I had Harlow order Maria a drink, but then the counter got dirty. Okay we're changing seats!
Maria, that's not exactly sitting together. Try again, woman.
That's better.
"Mr. Decals, why are you staring at my violin?"
"Ohhh no reason."
Eee...Gotta love it when you get shots like this. The hearts are aflyin'! And with that, gold star! Congrats Harlow! Now time to head home.
Talk about a long afternoon. I had Lacey get at her homework while Harlow cleaned up. I think Maria went on the computer or something.
I think Dino knows Lacey's Dad enjoyed himself.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
While Harlow and Maria were gone to bed, Lacey had energy to burn so we started using the activity table. Man, I want a magic crayon that could color everything like that.
The next morning, she was up and chatting with Maria. Hey if she possibly marries Harlow, Lacey might as well be friendly with her.
As mentioned before: Harlow? Brody? I want your kids. They clean on their own!
After Lacey went to school, Harlow got up, actually dressed himself, and went outside to cook...hotdogs? Well they could be breakfast sausages with toasted buns. Sometimes you need some imagination when your sims do odd stuff like cook lunch food early in the morning. Still, wouldn't change anything for the world.
Apparently Maria was fine with it anyways.
"And you didn't burn yourself. Aw! Good Job."
We then headed off to Landgraab's. For some reason I didn't capture Maria trying to chat with them, but I did grab proof again that, when you're close enough in a relationship, bathroom privacy tends to lower. Also who puts toilet paper up that high? They don't have a cat.
Harlow then was the one to go up and say "Hi" to Geoffrey. They're good friends in the panel, which may also explain Nancy's infatuation with the guy.
Maybe we should test this out. Maria, you mind compli-Where are you two going?
I apparently have the most polite sims in the world. They went downstairs and went in the bathroom to compliment and flirt a bit before just chatting.
I finally got the to sit down with Landgraab. He seemed pleased with her work and Maria was able to keep a good chunk of money. After this, I figured let's hit up the lounge.
Seems Marcus is off tonight. Again I swears he's a closet Geek. I know some may not like the look, but he looks cute in those glasses to me.
Harlow was in a playful mood so I had him tickle Maria as a tease.
Oh! Oh my! So they did this autonomously. At frist, I thought it was a kiss, but nope: They were making out right there on the couch. That might be a sign.
Uhh Mason? This is really awkward, bud. I don't blame you for looking a bit irritated.C'mon Archie & Edith. Let's get you two back home
Once home, Lacey was put to bed and I had Maria take a flirty shower. And I was right. She wanted to then woohoo with someone, which matched Harlow's want to woohoo with her. I tried to coax them a bit with some passionate kissing.
"C'mere loverboy. You ain't the only one that can sweep someone off their feet.
Eheh....That's my girl!
And then Harlow had wanted to go to bed, but not right now, man! How about returning the favor?
Hah...when nudging don't work, just outright ask them if they wanna woohoo. Maria asked Harlow, eventhough he was a bit tired and...
I think the picture speaks for itself.
How to tell when you can make good woohoo? When you literally knock your partner out. Usually they get up, but Maria was so good, she KOed Harlow...lol. Okay it was probably because he was exhausted after, but for first time woohoo, they both really enjoyed it.
Hah...Good night Harlow.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Harlow was rather perturbed one morning as Maria went out to sit with him.
"Harlow? You look upset. Is everything alright?"
"I was just thinking about how, this time a couple years ago, I had been with Melissa, just up the road even. Plum she was terrible."
"Your ex? Was she that bad?"
"Bad? The worst! She was horrible! I don't know why it even took me so long to realize it!"
"Oh my!"
"After Lacey's mom had passed away, I thought that meeting someone else might be the best way to get over it. I eventually met Melissa and we started dating. She was hot-headed, sure, but I figured we could work on that. She was friendly with Lacey and, well, I didn't think I would meet anyone else so eventually we eloped. Her place wasn't big, but we were together and she set up a mattress for Lacey until we could get a proper bed."
"I always tried to keep on her good side. She enjoyed a bit of romance, especially once Lacey was gone and it was just us..."
"Sometimes though it...didn't always work..."
"Are you trying to kiss up to me, Harlow? You've been seeing someone, haven't you! Admit it!!"
"As time went on, I realized she was more than hot-headed: She was a controlling monster. Anyone I tried to meet, she'd freak out."
"You came here with me, Harlow. Not that tramp! Not that guy! Me!! You should be talking to your wife!"
"She'd always get mad at me for the littlest of things."
"You cheated I swear! Ugh who the plum plays chess anyways on a day out?!"
"I wasn't sure when to talk to her."
"Did I say I wanted to chat? I'm here to exercise. Go build some muscle or something."
"She'd even make fun of me."
"You called that punches? You punch like a llama! See here, folks! The great llama man! Able to knock out nothing!"
"Once we were home she'd try to say sorry and make it up to me."
"But then something else would set her off again."
"Are you really that plum, Harlow? Anyone could have told you that! You had to get your daughter to tell you?"
"I felt ashamed. I felt...trapped."
"I eventually realized Lacey was picking up on her habits. I told Melissa about it, but she just fired back that it wasn't her fault I wasn't raising my daughter right. Even told me she would kick me out if I ever blamed her again"
"I asked her to forgive me, begged her, even believed that it was my fault! She eventually accepted."
But then she turned around the next day, after our daily visit to the gym, yelling at Lacey for almost breaking us up. Heh...Ironic isn't it? But that was all I could take. Yell at me, tell me off, jeer me if you wish, but you do not yell at my daughter!"
" 'That's it! We're through, Melissa!!' I told her. I wasn't going to take it anymore."
"I went outside, Melissa following me with Lacey soon after."
"Are you seriously breaking up with me? Where you going to go, huh?
"I was ready to explode, but I grit my teeth. 'Somewhere far...away...from you! You...monster'!!"
"And that was it. I felt terrible. I was sure Lacey thought that it was her fault, and now she was without a mother again. But I didn't want her hurt! Heh...Like all parents though, when Lacey came back I tried to keep a good face on for her, right? Tell her we would be okay. Tell her that...that it wasn't her fault...Tell her that...she wasn't to blame...That her Dad was the one that broke him and Melissa up..."
"It was hard though to accept that we were on our own again. I called the taxi that night and we soon moved off to a temporary house in Willow Creek. Before you made that small place for us Newcrest, I thought we were to be stuck there until Lacey was a teenager. I could barely afford living in Willow Creek until you pretty much saved us. Heh...and now here we are."
After Harlow's story, the two had moved inside, Maria embracing him.
"Oh Harlow...I can promise you I'd never hurt you, nor Lacey. You're the sweetest father and man alive. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise."
"Mmph...thanks, love."
****************
After a long night, Maria has to return to work as she gets a call from a new family that needed an extra room
She gave Harlow a kiss before heading out. N'aw!
Again, for my older readers, look familiar? Yup. Brody and Jaz and the kids have moved into Willow Creek. Good mighty it's gonna be weird not controlling them.
Brody was the one to call Maria after finding out that the house they had bought didn't have enough rooms for the kids. Sure, Abbigale and Ryder could share a room, but as Abbigale was a bit older, it would have been nice for her to have her own room.
Jaz seems to like Maria.
"Where are you from, Mister?"
"Would you believe from a place where you're a teenager and going out with my step-niece?"
Maria shows her some ideas she has for the room.
Set up the grid paper. It's time to renovate!
There we go. Simple, but functional. Abbigale and Ryder can fight over who gets it.
A small renovation to Jaz & Brody's room.
Sadie's room needed something more suited for a teenager.
Ugh...Let's spruce up this yard while we're at it.
A tree, some flowers, some new paint on the monkey bars and some fresh grass. Makes it look much nicer.
Maria calls Harlow and Lacey over so Lacey can meet Ryder and Abbigale. So weird for me because in Main Save, Lacey is Sadie's age AKA a teen
Jaz cooking up supper.
There you are Abbigale!
Lacey seems to be friendly with Ryder. I actually changed her aspiration as she is actually very chatty on this save.
Ahaha! Every time. Hellooo Bella Goth.
"So, what you think?"
Seems Brody enjoyed the renovations, especially the surprise garden renovation.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
So Maria took Harlow out a cafe in Windenburg, Harlow hugging Maria for another successful day.
Maria then took him out by the waterfall just outside the cafe.
"Harlow, you know I love you more than anything, right?"
"Even more than your job?"
"Of course you silly man."
"But there is something you should know?"
"Yes?"
"If I didn't have my job..."
"...I wouldn't have been able to afford this. Will you marry me, Harlow Vlorn?"
And he accepted! We now officially have the two engaged.
By the time these two got home, it was morning, but they were both flirty and...well...
Oh mys. Save it for the honeymoon you two.
Guess you're returning the KO Mr.Vlorn?
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
"Ooo! Wedding shop in Windenburg! You're mine now! Teehee!"
Aaaand the first thing she does is dance with the mannequins.
"Shh...They're just shy."
"Oh don't mind The Player, Billy. I know you have potential."
"No, Bob. I don't know why they'd stick you down here when your girlfriend is upstairs. Silly Player just can't tell who's who, ya know?"
Ceecee then dresses "Billy" in formal wear. When I have a sim own a clothing shop, I always allow them to dress the mannequins first, just to see what they can come up with. Not a bad start.
Real nice! Some of that genius is showing through it seems.
Spoke too soon. Ceecee, this is what you would wear if you had ever been a child AI. Try again.
I also dressed the female one as she probably wouldn't set wedding gowns on her own.
Hah. -_- That's it. Gimme the mannequin.
There we go. Much better.
Sadie...Did you go out to the bar again? I don't think Brody and Jaz will be happy hearing you've been drinking juice underage.
"It's an original Coco!"
It's also not wedding apparel. C'mon. Gimme the mannequin.
After pricing everything and setting up shop, Ceecee went to try on party outfits an...uuuhhh...Ceecee...
"Yeah I know. My elder AI granny probably wore this back in DOS days."
"Sims weren't even made for DOS."
"Shhh...the pixels can hear you."
You're not a teenager, woman. XP
"No but I look fabulous!"
Yeah...Let's just get back to the house. Maria and Harlow will be needing to stop by at some point soon to talk about themes for the wedding.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Harlow practicing his guitar. Contemplating changing this room into a music room. Then again, with Maria's aspiration of a bigger house, they may move again after the wedding.
Ah yes. The moment when you realize you're an unplayed household and Miss SPT#3 won't be coming to abduct you again. Enjoy the good life in this world, Brody, cause at some point, we're going back to Main Save and who knows about 2nd World. Eheh.
Maria gives Harlow a reassuring kiss as they discuss meeting up with Ceecee the next day.
"See, love? She does pretty much what I do, except for events like weddings, birthdays,..."
"Why is she putting party hats on the balloons?...And then drawing smiley faces on them...and trying to feed one cake...?"
"Umm...Her work is expressive? Either that or her apparent coding is open source and someone dropped her software...Oh but don't tell her that."
Grilled cheese for supper sounds good. Not unlocking the aspiration. They just wanted grilled cheese.
Lacey was making fun of adults, to which Maria gave her a hard look.
"I promised not to yell at you, but that is very rude young lady."
"Sorry Maria."
And so we end off with Maria trying out her violin again. Don't worry. Sonnets weren't written in a day.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
I think Harlow's fascinated that Maria used to live here. The place isn't totally changed, although a bit messy given Ceecee's train of thought.
"Oh you must be the two totally awesome lovebirds of this world, huh? C'mon in! Don't mind the clothes. I'll get them clean at some point. They don't smell."
"Oh...umm...alright then..."
Maria explains to her what they were thinking of possibly having.
"Lace an' flowers? Sounds like a good start..."
"Good start?"
"Well yeah! You're talking to Ceecee. I don't just slap two things together and that's that. We gotta branch out more. Widen the spectrum..."
"Maria...she's kinda weirding me out..."
Just had to catch this. Harlow blew a kiss to Maria and I got the hearts in the shot.
Eheh. These faces are just cringing.
"So yeah...Have you ever considered something like an underwater theme. Could get you dressed in a lacey mermaid dress, maybe your man there wear just dress pants and carry a trident or something. The flowers could be sea anenomes!! Or maybe scuba gear!!"
"Harlow I'm starting to think maybe..."
"You can't say anything now...you brought us here...."
Maria tries to change the theme topic.
"Oh Harlow, weren't you talking about how you wanted a guitarist at the wedding reception?"
"I wa-Oh yeah. I mean I could play but I still need the practice. That and I would be kind of busy."
Ceecee seems to perk up.
"Ooo! Music! That would be an awesome theme, ya know? I mean we could have music and underwater but my radio would probably short circuit, right Johnny 5?"
"You named your radio?"
The three move out to the living room, Harlow starting to think on the latest idea.
"Maybe...Jazz?"
"OO! I like it! We talkin' like early Jazz? Modern Jazz? Ooo! There's an idea..."
"Well...1940's?"
"I can see that. Classy gowns, elegant tuxes...."
Harlow was actually the one getting excited surprisingly. "A grand piano? And...And maybe those slipback chairs?"
"Could totally work for the reception area! Get the venue done up like an old jazz club! Ooo! And for the wedding part we have it with all the lace and flowers you guys were mentioning!! I think I got some outfits down at my shop that might work for you two too. You gotta check them out when you can!"
By this point I think they were ready to go.
"Thank you very much Ceecee. We'll keep in touch."
"Totally! Like I said, swing by the shop! Oh just be careful of Bob. He's still upset that his girlfriend was put upstairs."
"Who...is Bob?"
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Today started off with Harlow exercising though. I noticed he had gained a lil weight after so long and, story-wise, he may wanna shape up a bit more before the wedding. The guy has a Lvl 10 fitness so shouldn't take him too long. Look at it this way, Melissa: He ain't no llama man now!
After a good hard boxing round, Harlow felt pumped and confident, going over to Maria who was gardening and laying a suave kiss on her hand.
Milady indeed.
Next was a good hard run on the treadmill. This got him sweatin'.
Honest question: Can modern treadmills even do this?
Yes Mr. Vlorn, I'm happy you had a good workout too, but that shirt is not going out shopping. Save it for the summer jogs.
Ceecee hires some...interesting folks it seems.
Including Mr. Clean apparently.
@Simslover163 Looks like Mason lost his job at the Promenade. Don't worry. Ceecee hired him.
"Well? What do you think?"
"Hm? Oh sorry! I got distracted by the giant flowers."
I've never really seen Harlow as a 'white tux' kinda guy. Sakura can pull it off back in the other saves, but I dunno. Just doesn't seem Harlow.
"Mr. Vlorn? I think I found the perfect dress."
Seriously. She tried this one on three times and always got excited wearing it.
So apparently you can't buy an outfit for others so I had Lacey come over after school to get the blue dress for sale. She really didn't like Wolfgang.
Gotta admit, she looks really cute.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Which one you think might actually work for the venue? I mean they're both big tanks, but we're going for like a jazz club vibe.
Miss, I don't even like fish. Can I go back home to Peter and the kids now?
So, curtains, palm trees, sound good?
Seriously? I'm the Ultimate Error AI with the ability to corrupt worlds, destroy sims, and even mess with The Player and you dragged me here to discuss wedding decor? Why am I even here?!
So like, ya see what I mean? They weren't even helpful at all when I tried to get their opinions on stuff. You got an idea how hard it is to coordinate stuff?
Ehh...Honestly, I'm not supposed to be active yet. You mind putting me back in 2nd World before it corrupts?
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
First things first though, we apparently wanted to autonomously practice guitar. Well that is what we get with a music-loving man...lol
For once, Mason is actually happy!
Man my shots are bad sometimes, but Harlow actually sung to Maria. Squee!!
I don't care if it's a bug or not, teens leaving their homework around is a legit thing in real life. Been there, done that, I now work giving books to some...lol
Ceecee was really not happy that the game selected her to be the park bench sleeper.
"My insanity is caused by my creative programming, not my want to sleep outdoors, isn't that right, Mr. Maximus?"
I wasn't attempting a gold date this time around so to fill out the 10 socializations, why not some interactions on the fountain, such as makin' a move. Smooth Mr. Vlorn.
Dear mighty these two are adorable!!
"You know what?"
"Mmph, what?"
"Right now, I feel like the luckiest man alive."
And then breaks into a make-out session...lol
"What Mr. Bench? I know! I know! I really need to get back to work. Oh a butterfly!"
Harlow was playful so decided to give Maria a small splash. It was a bronze date, but hey, was a success to me. Now for his new aspiration, he actually needs to marry Maria so we're soon all set.
Guess it must have successful. Eheh. Get a room you two.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
