After the vampire bug that hit my last family I lost interest (Several days of trying to figure out if it was cc and it ended up being a known bug killed my enjoyment). So I'm having a mess about with my build test sim (and finally discovered detail edit mode in CaS when editing her).
Her name is Willow Applegate
and she's an Art Lover, Creative and Cheerful (and is most likely overjoyed to stop testing out routing etc. for me - I cheated her skills back to zero, shes racked up a few points in cooking testing out for me).
This is her new house, it was about 100 simoleans under her starter money on this lot (One of the 20x15? ones in willow creek, I want to say Crick Cabana was there).
It's fairly colourful inside, I'll have to grab screenies.
She's taken up painting to get some simoleans rolling in.
]
I've been on a mission to meet as many people as she can.
Firstly she went to the Disco Bowl (by me)
She was terrible at bowling (and for some reason decided to forego the bowling shoes) but at least met a few people and seems to be getting major flirty glances from Mr. Zest!
Next was Ritzy's (By me again, named after the dire club I went to in University)
Here she met a random chick from the free spirits? house, Ulrike?
Random chick asked her to go to the Old Quarter inn the next evening.
Johnny Zest was there and a bit depressed (Does he have the gloomy trait?).
She also went to the ruin when Marcus Flex asked her, but he bailed almost immediately.
Finally she went to the Narwhal Arms where she met Paolo who told her he was married (fast work MCC!) and she met three more blokes.
She lured them outside one by one to stargaze.
There's still a few more people I want her to meet, Bob and Eliza, Caleb (properly, not tending the bar) and Lilith etc. She's focused on her job at the moment (need those simoleans) but I suppose she'll have to date a bit too.

I finally finished Painter Extraordinaire and Willow has started Successful lineage so a boyfriend/girlfriend/baby maker was the next step.
Enter Johnny Zest who Willow took to 1,2,3, Chinese (?) which I found on the gallery.
She made a bit of headway, at least got a romantic bar but that's as far as she got.
Since Willow and Johnny have a romantic bar now, the next step was a date at Restaurante Aquarium (?), again off the gallery with a little colour change, it was dark wood.
Notice Johnny's quick change into the fabulous blue suit.
The next day Willow asked Johnny to the park to try and seal the deal.
SUCCESS!
The Straud Family Tree
It's nicely furnished inside, and more importantly has two beds!
They went out exploring
and happened upon the hermit's clearing
Basically a good time was had by all.

I've had to do my tree again due to me mucking it up, how I've managed that with two entries is beyond me.
Firstly Willow and Johnny went bowling
and then went on to Rattlesnake Pub Grub (I got it off the Gallery) for a bite to eat (Someone converted the bar to a restaurant).
One thing led to another...
It was just the once but risky woohoo got them. Johnny didn't seem to bothered and decided to take Willow out on the town.
(Restaurante Aquarium, I found it on the gallery and just changed the colours from a darker wood).
Johnny ended the evening by popping the question, since they're first gen I wanted them to get hitched.
They went to the Magnolia Promenade courthouse (Again, I found it on the gallery and then edited it for weddings),
So now Willow Applegate is Willow Zest and there's a new baby Zest on the way.
The Straud Family Tree
Welcome Tabitha Zest!
edit -
she just aged up!
The Straud Family Tree
Welcome Kaden Zest,
who has just aged up.
Shortly afterwards it appears the 15% risky woohoo has struck again so she's getting made unable to be pregnant in CaS once the baby is here. I didn't see the notification, just noticed her tummy on Tabitha's birthday.
The Straud Family Tree
Shortly afterwards Kaden aged to child
and then this happened...
and Johnny keeled over.
Finally, despite her Dad dying Christa aged up to child with all her skills a solid 3 except movement which she aced.
The Straud Family Tree
Willow and Tabitha aged up on the same day. Tabitha was very, very odd looking but new make up and hair have sorted her (Kinda). I don't like to plaster teens in makeup but it has helped to hide her natural looks a lot (Johnny Zest makes some odd looking kids, at least so far fingers crossed Kaden and Christa look better!).
Edit - Kaden looks better, but he still has Johnny Zest's features, at least he's a guy.
and Christa actually looks more like mam.
fairly heavy makeup but she's going for a darker more Gothic look, whereas Mam is kinda bright and more boho (?).
The Straud Family Tree
Willow died of old age leaving Tabitha and Kaden as YA's and Christa as a teen.
Christa had her birthday shortly afterwards.
So Tabitha and Kaden moved out with some violins stashed in their inventories and Christa moved into her new place. I cheated her money down to 5000 and then used her existing furniture to furnish it, but after selling the excess she was 122,000! So I cheated her back down to 12,000 and used the excess to buy flowers etc. She's 5000 again now.
The Straud Family Tree
Firstly she went out to the park with Finn (I look just like my Daddy) Rocca.
It started well,
Until he went and hid in the toilet and she couldn't get him out. He's either very shy, or really not into her.
Date number two was with Dashiel Longburrow, a vampire I created ages ago that gets dumped in with Vlad every new game I play.
The date was at the Cryptic, a night club I made ages ago that also gets dumped in Forgotten Hollow every time I start a game.
It's quite a bit bigger once you come down the stairs from the crypt building upstairs.
This date went much better, despite Kaden (brother) stalking her!
She took Dashiel outside to the small cemetery garden to get to know him better.
On the face of it it looks like Dashiel is going to be her boyfriend but I want to try Finn again, after all Dashiel will be around for a while yet and I don't fancy turning her in case I get the hair/eyebrow bug (which means hair and eyebrows have to be the same colour) again. Plus I think she needs to scout around for a bit to see if anymore victims men appear. In any case she can keep Finn and Dashiel apart (sorta) because Dashiel won't wander in the sunlight so lots of day dates with Finn!
The Straud Family Tree
Date 2 with Finn was at a small grill I made called Joanie's. They went out for breakfast.
In the background you can see a very pregnant Lilith Pleasant and her sister Angela is on the other table (Green Skirt). They were off the gallery and I just tweaked the ages and family relationships (I'm guessing they were done with the create a sim tool we had before launch since all 4 Pleasants were YA).
The date ended well, no hiding in the toilets at least!
In the evening Christa met Dashiel in Desert Bloom park (Re done, nabbed it off the Gallery).
This date went well too
and ended up with Christa swimming!
Now she's getting on with them both I'm more confused than ever. I still don't want to turn her into a vampire though and I guess if I leave Dashiel alone he'll be there for her descendants to romance, not really sure who she's going for.
The Straud Family Tree
this was the third call.
Christa has switched to the bodybuilder aspiration after finishing the music one so I had her start to learn Yoga
and work out at the gym. Stalker bro is back and he's a lot more buff than he was when he lived at home. He wasn't fat but was very skinny, I guess he bulked up!
Christa went out on a date with Finn to the Bluffs
It went okay (at least he didn't hide in a woohoo/toilet bush). Hopefully a date with Dashiel will be next on her next day off!
The Straud Family Tree
In hindsight, perhaps she's too tired for her date!
It started well, they both dressed up for a night at the Cryptic.
Then things started to go wrong,
and Dashiel bailed and went for a nap... in the club...
Christa was unimpressed that he left her passed out and went off for a nap in the nearest coffin!
The next day, after a good sleep, she went to the Flora Diner with Finn (one of mine).
It went better.
I'll have try and smooth things over with Dashiel on her day off, but the fact he left her bum up in the club to go and have a nap in a coffin may have sealed his fate.
The Straud Family Tree
She got all dressed up and tried to smooth things over with Dashiel but he wasn't having any of it.
Then she went out on a sorta rebound date with Finn
It seemed to be going well but they ended up in the toilets... again.
I've decided he must just have a tummy bug or something because he's pretty enthusiastic before he has to run for the loo!
