Luckiest Palm - A Lucky Palms Playthrough

Goulsquash

Hi everybody! I not-so-recently bought Lucky Palms, but I haven't really had a chance to play in it other than a quick glance around at the layout. I decided to finally play, so I stole borrowed a Sunlit Tides townie that I had saved to the bin for future use and plunked him right in (after changing all of his traits to fit my needs, of course). If you're looking for an ultra dramatic storyline or anything, this ain't it, more just me having fun with his save file and exploring around.

This is Reshay Womack, from a small island just off Sunlit Tides. He's an Unflirty, Shy, Athletic, Irresistible guy who Loves the Heat.

Reshay was scouted by the Lucky Palms' Llamas, and has moved into one of the owner's spare rental properties in town to try to make the team. It should go without saying that his lifetime want is to be a Superstar Athlete.

The first thing I had him do once he arrived at his new place was check in at the stadium to make sure everything was okay with his employment. Just because he was scouted didn't mean he got to be on the team without working for it, so the owner was letting him work at the stadium to help cover costs. It only pays $13 an hour though, so here's hoping promotions come fast.

Since Reshay doesn't have to work until tomorrow afternoon, I sent him to the pool in hope of working on his athletic skill and/or meeting new sims. What's that? He looks super uncomfortable? Well...

Apparently swimsuits are optional here in Lucky Palms. There were three hot tubs on the lot, each with at least one sim sans swimwear. This townie seems to like it more than Reshay does.

On the plus side, he did meet one new friend. This is Darleen Matlaplin, who couldn't skinny dip because all the hot tubs were full at this point is a nice girl who has clothes on. Reshay found out that she's Charismatic and Childish.

Unfortunately their convo was cut short by Darleen's overwhelming desire to show her opinion on the sims around her, which under normal circumstances I would say is not very body positive of her but I'll give her a pass considering the tacos a la hot dog parade that is the public pool today.

I sent Reshay home to work out in the comfort of his living room. Eventually, he needed some sort of dinner, so I let him make some mac and cheese. He didn't even burn it, which is impressive for someone with zero cooking skills points.

It was pretty early, but I wanted to send him out exploring again in the morning before work (just not to the pool). Here he is dreaming about being a star, having had a very exciting first day of existence in Lucky Palms

Thank you for your kind comment @Puddinroy

Day two started off simple enough, I sent Reshay out for a morning jog to top up his required athletic skill points for work. He always looks so serious in all his pictures, you'd think I'd given him No Sense of Humour or something.

It wasn't just an aimless jog around the block though, it was time for the summer festival! Or almost time I should say, I didn't time it quite right so it hadn't technically started when he got there, so he was the only attendee.

What do you do when there's nobody around to see you fail? Try something new and embarrassing of course! Thankfully he's not trying out for a rollerblading team, or he might not make the cut.

A few laps around the rink, and it was time to go home and grab some brunch. Inspired by yesterday's success, I had Reshay make pancakes.

It went really well.

Insurance paid out $160 bucks, which didn't give him enough money to replace the stove, but it did give him enough to pay his $65 rent that came in without taking all of his spending cash. We opted for cereal for a replacement brunch, since we wouldn't have access to a stove until after his first shift.

He called up his new friend Darleen to let her know about the fire, right as story progression let me know that she was now going steady with Darren Dreamer. Judging by Reshay's face, I think she might have told him too.

Soon enough it was off to work. Reshay chose to go for a "business casual" look with the Hawaiian shirt. It's actually his original outfit back from being a Sunlit Tides townie, I never bothered to give him a career outfit.

Aaaand no promotion. He did make enough to replace the stove though, which is nice. Maybe watching the sports channel will give him some motivation for tomorrow's shift.

Hey guys, hope everyone is having a good day so far Bit of a shorter update today.

Reshay is starting to get a bit lonely in his new town. Maybe that's why he went against his better judgement and wrote Darleen a love letter. Hopefully her boyfriend doesn't respond!

Embarrassed at his own actions, Reshay looks for a new friend the good old fashioned way: the newspaper. And he's in luck, the perfect friend is on their way!

Meet Echo! I was originally planning on getting a dog, but Echo had the DOOFIEST face in her picture. So we got this elder, independent, but friendly kitty cat.

I'm sure they'll get along just super

Work time rolls around, and Reshay finally gets a promotion! The bonus will help pay for all of the cat stuff I bought.

Echo might be independent, but that doesn't mean she won't come and watch the game.

She also manages to get the first smile out of Reshay that I've seen all play through with him. I'm glad Reshay adopted her, she's a sweetheart.
