I really don't see the point in Thorne Bailey and for some reason I really despise him... Does anyone else share this?! I'm not sure what I think of him even though Orange Bailey-Moon seems quite nice...
( recommend me some good maxis clothes/ hair

i think a really big part of why i dislike them is who they're based on (some of my least favorite 'celebrities' in real life) but they're different enough not to warrant instant deletion. though they might head to the bin if i get around to making enough famous sims in similar lines of work to the two of them
also, i was totally expecting this to be another 'thorne bailey keeps hogging the spotlight with his jumping around stuff' and was going to point out that any and every 4 and 5 star celeb can and will do exactly that. though thorne seems to do it more than any other (probably due to one of his quirks and/or fame purchases)
I feel bad for the guy. I mean it's annoying the sims stop doing everything when he's around but he's a regular sim.
I didn't know they were supposed to be based on anyone. I think Orange's name is a reference to Apple Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter.
Thorne has the paparazzi darling quirk and he can Incite Cheers which is probably why he can be so annoying in public.
Every....
Single....
TIME!
Yeah... not a fan.
@citysimmer It is so annoying when celebs incite cheers! Anybody else?
@ChelleJo The same happens to me, when I go to a bar or a talent showcase he arrives and everyone stops listening to me and the 'Thorne Bailey' bubbles appear above their heads! At least I still have a few obedient fans...
@LadyKyn 100% steals the spotlight... they definitely *were* the power couple but I feel as if Thorne steals Octavia's spotlight and takes advantage of her... I'm not sure if that is just me or not though! (agreeing with @citysimmer) Love the picture too!
@Simpkin Yeah I understand that... it is frustrating though when everyone drops what they are doing to catch a glimpse at the 'all magnificent' Thorne Bailey!
Sorry if I missed anybody off...
I like to build stuff
He's pretty much guaranteed to take the spotlight being a musically talented sim as most of the other premade celebrities won't as much. Sims just seemed instantly attracted when a celebrity is playing music, doing comedy or singing.
In one save decided to have him pursue acting and ditch the entertainment career. Barely saw him at any venue's. He'd pop up now and again, but not as a entertainer or to play. He ends up being less obnoxious then again I like that he pops up anyway if you have a sim trying to gain some fame in entertainment. The struggle makes it interesting.
Octavia is a good mom and wife even with her juice problems. Probably due to all the stress and work of writing her books and also writing Thorne's music.
Haha, what a wonderful idea for a story! Thorne Bailey alone and lost in the wild forest for a week!
As far as the back story to the Baileys, I look at it the other way. Octavia is a writer, her name and face is a lot less recognised than Thorne's. She latched on to him and insisted that she write his music, making herself invaluable and people would see her more on the arm of a celebrity like Thorne.
She keeps him under her thumb and discourages him developing his own writing skill.
Their home has 3 double bedrooms, 1 clearly implied to be feminine and 1 clearly masculine. I think their relationship is purely for appearance sake and at home they lead separate lives.
Strange how things change from game to game. I see him pretty often as I hang out a lot at his place of work and I never once saw him flirting with other sims. With my sims that I entered relationships with him it actually takes a lot of work to get him into a romance.
I think that's what he does too. First song she helped him with and he probably begged her to keep writing them for him. He has the talent but not the creativity to make his own music. Obviously Octavia is stressed and drinks a lot due to him.
Doesn't even feel like a family even lives in that house it's pretty...empty?
Given his reputation feel like he was Del Sol's bad boy before hooking up with Octavia.
@CorkysPetals & @Simmerville I totally agree! I can see it on the news... 'Thorne Bailey takes time off his career to 'find himself', he left this morning without alerting his beloved Octavia Moon. What will happen to Bailey?'
@Ladykyn As soon as I got 'get famous' I adopted a little girl, got her career started and then looked for a bit of romance... without knowing about Octavia they fell in love and then got married (of course by then I realised about Octavia) so I divorced Thorne for so easily falling in love again without even mentioning Octavia. So I guess I blame Thorne for that little 'blip' in the circuit When you mentioned 'In one save decided to have him pursue acting and ditch the entertainment career. Barely saw him at any venue's. He'd pop up now and again, but not as a entertainer or to play. He ends up being less obnoxious then again I like that he pops up anyway if you have a sim trying to gain some fame in entertainment. The struggle makes it interesting. ' I really think that was a cool idea... If I have enough motivation I might try and turn Thorne around!!
@simm621 Aww I've never seen that side of him before! I've just seen the other.... I really like that theory of Octavia... and the evidence to back it up could make this statement true. I think the thing stopping me believe this is that I can't forgive Thorne... but then again wouldn't he want to get away from Octavia so dating my sim would get him away? And he wouldn't want to tell her because she is demanding? I don't know! Great theory though
@mika I think he's v obnoxious and I'm sure he has a bit of a bad reputation on my game too, I think it is just how he flaunts around!
@simm621 (on your second contribution) I had the opposite! He was quite easy to flirt and very quick to woohoo... very very quick... I'm just very confused with him at the moment!
@LadyKyn (On your last contribution) I do think Octavia drinks because of him... again another theory with a good amount of evidence
I like this theory, very stable too! Maybe this is it? Maybe not? Ahh if only a little bit of information could be revealed about sims each week/month and then finally we could be able to solve many of these sim mysteries!
