    1. Star sign: Gemini
    2. Career and/or university degree your Sim is pursuing: Freelancer artist and photographer
    3. What are 1-3 interests/hobbies your Sim has? painting pictures, taking photos, cooking
    4. What is one thing your Sim is doing to prepare for the trip? What is your Sim most looking forward to on Day 1? One thing my Sim is doing to prepare for the trip is doing her research on the places she'll be exploring with her fellow travelers. She looks forward to try out new food, exploring the city, meeting her fellow travelers, and getting pictures for her travel scrapbook.

    @Simslover163 Huzzah another photographer! Hayden will be happy. I love the idea of a travel scrapbook.
    1. Star sign: Pisces!
    2. Career and/or university degree your Sim is pursuing:Currently unemployed, but has dreams of hosting a TV show or acting!
    3. What are 1-3 interests/hobbies your Sim has? Reading romance novels, painting watercolours, and socialising!
    4. What is one thing your Sim is doing to prepare for the trip? What is your Sim most looking forward to on Day 1? Getting to know everyone else!

    I'm legitimately so excited for this!

    @lilypadmeulin A TV show would be cool. I've never tried something like that in the Sims. Ooo... and watercolors. Nia might enjoy the rooftop easels at the Torendi Tower Hotel.

    @AdamsEve1231 Here's my answers to your questions! :)

    1. Star sign: Virgo
    2. Career and/or university degree your Sim is pursuing: Tech Guru
    3. What are 1-3 interests/hobbies your Sim has? Video games, playing with his dog and writing stories based on the games he plays (he wants to be a video game designer one day and write the plot for the game as well).
    4. What is one thing your Sim is doing to prepare for the trip? What is your Sim most looking forward to on Day 1? He'll prepare himself mentally to be around all the other travellers - he feels a little awkward around a large group of Sims (though he knows Cathy). He's looking forward to seeing the city, trying out new dishes and hanging out at the cafe (playing games) and reading new books at the library. He's also looking forward to hanging out with his friend and old college professor, Cathy (I know you haven't written about them in H4TH yet, but you could pretend that happened a few years ago).

    PS: If you want, you can give him the Loner trait as well (and maybe Art Lover, Music Lover, Bookworm, Perfectionist and Unflirty).

    Hooray, @divanthesimmer! This story will take place later... like after H4TH in the timeline. I'll be sure to send him to the computer cafe and the library if I can. I'm going to try and do high autonomy. We'll see what kind of chaos insues! :D

    @CathyTea Hooray! Akira is a great Sim. I have been playing the Cognito-Kibo-Ojo family lately. Aged everyone up appropriately and gave everyone a makeover.

    Oh.... that brings up an interesting question.... for a different version of CT is in LASL. And she knows Cog and Akira. Hmmm.... Oh, well, it's just multiverse. Nothing unusual for SimLit! XD

    Does the star sign affect your sim's personality in any way? Or is it just a cosmetic type thing?

    1. Star sign (If you don't want the game to randomly assign your Sim something, let me know your preference.) Gemini
    2. Career and/or university degree your Sim is pursuing (could be both / also unemployed at any income level is fine too and this will be the default unless you specify) various part-time jobs until she got up to Assistant Manger in one of them

    3. What are 1-3 interests/hobbies your Sim has?
    Reading, singing,

    4. What is one thing your Sim is doing to prepare for the trip? What is your Sim most looking forward to on Day 1
    Packing a first-aid kit as well as the normal stuff. Since you never know when something might happened when the tour guide isn't around. Just being able to see new people which aren't her family members even though she probably like to be left alone just to take a swim.

    Yes, @15aewar. Actually, it does affect personality some, or at least the way I interpret things in game. Or both.

    Multiverse Cathy! :)

    Actually, I kinda wondered about that too. I was toying around with the idea in my timeline that Cathy Tea the Younger in Livin' a Simmin' Life is the same person as Cathy Tea the Elder (the professor) in Home for the Holidays (H4TH) because Sugar Maple is the same person. At least in my head canon. I also toyed with the idea that Cathy Tea the Younger was named for an aunt (Cathy Tea the Elder). So if this CT is the former, but older than she already knows Riley/Akira. If this CT is the latter, then she could be meeting Akira for the first time. It's all so wonderfully complex. :)

    Is there some way to find out what each zodiac sign does? I'm totally clueless in this regard. :lol:

    I'm using NatashaEllenX's Zodiac mod. Unfortunately, she no longer has it posted on MTS. But... Deligracy does a vid about it here (minus Capricorn) and StormyDayzGamez does a brief overview here. Luna shared the files here.

    @lilypadmeulin, @CathyTea, @divanthesimmer, @Simslover163, @VanPelt81, @MadameLee
    I haven't forgotten everyone over here. I've been a bit consumed by other things, but I did finish my renovated lots for San Myshuno and most of Hidden Hollow (the equivalent of Forgotten Hollow from the Sim Union, but in the country of Cascadia). Your Sims are in for a real treat. I'm kinda lazy so I downloaded some gorgeous lots by very talented Simmers (I'll be sure to share original names/artists) and made some minor modifications for the purposes of this vacation.

    A few minor updates to the schedule to allow your Sims to take in most, if not, all the festivals while in the city. More details and pictures to come.

    Day 1 - Torendi Tower Hotel

    Day 2 - Fashion District
    Do a little souvenir shopping at the gorgeous updated mall, grab lunch at the food court, and get your geek on at Geek Con.
    If your Sim attends Geek Con and they'd like to participate, what costume would they prefer? (I can post a list of costume options if you need)

    Day 3 - Uptown
    ...with a renovated night club, Prism and a gorgeous bowling alley/karaoke

    Day 4 - Myshuno Meadows
    ...which I renovated to be a lovely botanical garden with all sorts of activities and the evening will include a farm-to-table dinner

    Day 5 - Spice District
    It's a full day! Get your blood pumping in the morning at the renovated gym with celebrity trainer, Spencer "Swagger" Jeong from my Lost Christmas short and browse the books or wind down with poetry/story readings and tea at the library with celebrity writers from my stories. Or if your Sim is feeling brave, they can share something they've written too! We'll finish the evening at the delightful summer Spice Festival.

    Day 6 - Hidden Hollow
    We'll head to Hidden Hollow and check in to the Hollow Point Inn (with its surprisingly large underground suites and amenities).

    Day 7 - Hidden Hollow
    Enjoy a cup of coffee at the local cafe in the AM, meander through a spooky store or two, or take a stroll through town center. In the evening, we'll head the mausoleum and night club. Sounds spooky right? Don't worry. Vladislaus Straud has long since met his demise. :#

    Day 8 - Return to San Myshuno
    You'll have part of the day free, but be sure to head over to the Arts Quarter in the early evening for a delicious dinner in the Fountainview restaurant with a delightful musical performance. Then head on down to the streets for the Humor and Hijinks festival. (Which team will your Sim choose? Will they drink the light or dark tea? Do you have a preference or do you want to be surprised? )

    Day 9 - Granite Falls

    Day 10 - Granite Falls

    Day 11 - Granite Falls


    Day 12 - Free day
    You are welcome to take a later bus back to the city and remain in Granite Falls longer. When you return to the city, might we recommend the Cabash Art Gallery in the Arts Quarter? Or if you didn't have an opportunity yet, pick up a souvenir at the mall. Or explore the city at your own pace and return to your favorite places.

    Day 13 - San Myshuno
    Today we'll have a fun scavenger hunt throughout the city. Then we'll head to the famous romance festival. Don't worry if you don't have a sweetheart. There is still plenty of fun things to do at the festival. And if the romance festival really isn't your thing, you can order room service and enjoy the hotel amenities.

    Day 14 - San Myshuno
    The flea market's in town. Feel free to make arrangements with the hotel and they will ship purchased items to you. Enjoy a leisurely brunch and late check out at the Torendi Tower Hotel. And then a goodbye party in the afternoon/evening at a special to-be-named celebrity's home!

    It's sure to be a fun-filled week! Can't wait to travel with your Sims.

    Thanks @VanPelt81, @divanthesimmer, and @Simslover163. The type of tea you select determines the team. :# I'll try and direct your Sims, but you know Sims. They have a mind of their own.

    @divanthesimmer I'll do my best to recreate your request in game. I do have the cc.

    She doesn't really care about costumes-so if you think she wants to participate just put her in something

    Let the game choose! I think my Sim often doesn't wear a costume to Geek Con, but that's fine!

    Which team will your Sim choose? Will they drink the light or dark tea? Do you have a preference or do you want to be surprised?
    Let the game choose! My Sim usually whims to join a team, and it's usually the Jokesters team (light tea). But let her whims or autonomy choose.

    So fun, Lizzie!

    Thanks @VanPelt81, @divanthesimmer, @Simslover163, @MadameLee, and @CathyTea for your responses.

    @lilypadmeulin if you get a chance and want to respond to the question above, great! No worries if you can't.

    I do enjoy interactive responses. :)

    I will be away over the weekend so I won't have access to my computer to play/work on this story. I promise it's still happening. With my work schedule, I'm really only able to work on stuff on the weekends so I hope you don't mind a slow release.
