@3KNPen Cecilia is really cute. She should find a sweetheart in no time
Love that house as well. Would you be willing to share links to Cecilia and / or her home?
I LOVE this challenge, @EuphorialQueen and @BUTTONSGINGER. and it will go perfectly with the Romantic Garden Pack coming out next week. Can't wait to try it then!
While doing some collecting Cecilia finds the DJ Candy My Sim Figure. I decide to take this as a sign and settled more firmly on Candy though we did still introduce ourselves to other Sims just to make sure.
I concentrate on working on her dance skill so that she can try to join the Spin Masters (at this point I admit I was trying to have her meet Joaquin Le Chien whom despite being our neighbor we had yet to run into anywhere in Windenburg (which amused me since he walks by my house in Oasis Springs in my current Legacy save 9 times a day but when he lives right down the road from Cecilia not once have I seen him in the wild).
As a Loner Sim you can imagine how happy she was being sent to a crowded club and being forced to dance and interact with people.
I have Cecilia work on her friendship with Candy. One of the extra challenges I gave myself is that before we could start any sort of romantic relationship with someone we had to have a full friendship bar. It just felt natural that Cecilia wouldn't even attempt to be romantic with someone until after that point. I believe this photo was taken after we reached Good Friends status with her.
Cecilia also continued to work on and upgrade her little garden and to work on her aspiration. We joined the Garden Gnomes but unfortunately we don't do much with it because she's been so focused on trying to find someone and working on her own garden. Once things are settled I will probably get her back into hanging out with them. (Later on we were also invited to join the Paragons but we declined that invitation).
She gets the skill she needs in dance and then asks Candy for an invite into the spin masters which she receives. They all head to a dance party at the bluffs were Cecilia models her new jacket and shows off her stuff on the dance floor with the rest of the group.
While there Cecilia gets flirty and lets me know exactly whom she was interested in when she could keep her eyes off Candy the whole time.
Following day Cecilia is feeling 100% sure of her decision and since their friendship bar is completely full she can move onto romancing her crush. She freshens up at the mirror to get herself flirty and then invites Candy over.
Candy arrives in a tense mood but Cecilia quickly gets rid of that with some interesting conversation and some light flirting just to set the mood. Then she asks Candy on a date to the cafe where they first met and Candy agrees.
The date goes well and they quickly get to Gold Medal status. After the date ends Cecilia gets her very first kiss.
The second date happens the following day on the bluffs. It's just as successful as the first date and they easily get their Gold Medal. And I accomplish the second goal of the challenge which is Earn Gold on at Least 2 Dates.
This challenge has been a lot of fun. I've had fun exploring a lot of the Get Together features which I haven't really had a chance to yet and concentrating so fully on the relationship without all the stress of a full time job and all that comes with it has been refreshing as well. Well done on this challenge guy I like that it's so gentle and easy going rather than needing to keep track of every single point earned and things like that
Are we allowed to use the CAC (Create-A-Club) filters to find potentially compatible mates?
With the upcoming stuff pack, are sims allowed to wish for children (probably great alternative for LGBT sims)?
Was trying to decide how to incorporate Clubs / Get Together into this challenge. I would say that is a great option.
The next pack is available next week. I was wondering about that Wishing Well.
Will discuss options to wish for children with @Buttonsginger and get back to you.
Great ideas @EmmaVane
@EmmaVane I think wishing for children would be just fine.
I LOVE this challenge, @EuphorialQueen and @BUTTONSGINGER. and it will go perfectly with the Romantic Garden Pack coming out next week. Can't wait to try it then!
@DameDallas I'm looking forward to hearing how you like the challenge
Here's a small update from Penelope: Find her story thread here.
I met this attractive fellow with a fantastic beard. His name is Emmett Michael. A local fisherman. I can tell by the smell. He is plagued by the clumsy trait and always landing in his bucket of chum. Smell ya later Emmett!
I didn't catch this gentleman's name. He was shocked by my opinion of Dina's plunging neckline. I asked about his career and learned he was a stay at home dad. I assumed he was married. He was a bit on the angry side and the conversation quickly became unpleasant. We parted ways.
I heard it was ghost night at the local tavern and decided to stop by for a drink. I ran into Darrell Wray and we chatted for a bit. He's my mail carrier. Nice guy but no sparks. Too bad, I really like ginger hair. The ghosts were mostly friendly. Not as creepy as one would think. A few snobs in the bunch, which I really liked but they were too busy haunting things to get to know. Must be a dead thing.
Did I tell you that I've started writing books? Didn't I? Well, I have, just a few short stories and children's books. I've been able to self publish and made a nice bit of change. Anyway, Gunther Munch is a fellow writer and invited me to join the Avant Gards club. We exchanged numbers. I tried chatting with him but he had to run to work. I hope the next club meeting is soon. I like his smile.
Things continue to go well for Cecilia and Candy. The day after their second gold level date at the bluffs Cecilia invites Candy over. Candy has to work later in the day but agreed to come over before then. There is much flirting between the two.
Cecilia then asks Candy to be her girlfriend. Candy says yes and they're both super excited and super adorable about it.
Cecilia's had this particular whim locked in for days now so I allow her to fullfill in the convienently placed bush in her front yard.
After the romance I send them down to the beach near where Cecilia lives to hang out and play with the fire until it's time to let Candy go. I have them take some pictures. I will probably update Candy's after I give her a makeover once she moves in. She's a cute Sim and I love the pink tips but I'm not overly pond of the hairstyle other than that.
So Goal Number 3 Have a Boyfriend/Girlfriend is complete. Next up will be getting Cecilia to work up enough nerve to get ask Candy to marry her and hoping that Candy says yes.
This is Ferguson Fisher and his humble home. He lives alone so he doesn’t need much space.
He loves food and eating so he prepares many dishes a day. One night while cooking he found out that life can be dangerous. When he was making a cheese sandwich his stove caught on fire. He was terrified but he managed to put out the fire.
After this incident he sat on the armchair and deepened in his thoughts. Maybe it was time to find a love in his life. Life is short and it would be fun to share your thoughts with another human being instead of Goldie the goldfish.
Early in the next morning Ferguson went to fishing from the pond behind his house. There he met this nice looking young woman named Amelia. He decided to impress her with his muscles. Everything went well. Too well. Ferguson found out that she had two matching traits with him: loner and loves outdoors. They were even too similar to be lovers but Ferguson got a new friend. The first one in his life to be exact.
Ferguson thought that maybe a bar would be better place for finding ladies. He went straight to the dance floor and met three women. They were already taken, evil or just out of his league. Quickly Ferguson started to feel too tense to being in such a crowd. He decided to go home. Maybe he has better luck tomorrow.
Hello @Hemera123 and Ferguson! Oh.....too bad about the matching traits! I am sure anyone as handsome as he is will find a love soon Can't wait to see more!
We met a long while ago when I moved to Windenburg. It is a picturesque town perfect for an artist. Before Windenburg I had only my art to keep me occupied. Oh yes I had best introduce myself. Hello I am Arlen Winthrop. I was lucky enough to earn a scholarship to study at the Champs Les Sims Art Institute. Even in such a place known for romance I have not been lucky enough to catch the eye of anyone special. And that brings me back to my beautiful Maaike. As a joke some of my so called friends sent an application to enroll me in a Lonely Hearts Club. The joke was on them in the end. Maaike and her Avant Garde club were meeting at a South Square Coffee in Windenburg where I decided to stop for a coffee. The rest is history.
Cecilia proposes to Candy in front of the bonfire on the beach near her house. Candy quickly says yes.
The following day in preparation for the wedding I invite Candy to move in with us. I also give her a bit of a makeover and give her a guitar. She was in the entertainment career but I had her quit it so that we can concentrate more fully on growing the relationship since they're both on the short life span. My plan is for her to make money writing songs and have her collect when she's not concentrating on that.
Then it's time for the wedding which takes place at the Von Haunt Estate in Windenburg. I've included some highlight pictures but for a more detailed look at their wedding please check THIS post.
Mimsy started playing the piano halfway through the ceremony. It was a lovely happy accident that I am so thrilled to have had happen at this particular wedding.
After the wedding Candy took over the piano and played for Cecilia. She had no skill in the piano but Cecilia didn't really seem to mind at all.
And the wedding photos in their bedroom.
So the goal to get married has been completed. Up next will be doing some collecting and saving up some money to go on a brief honeymoon in Granite Falls and then adoption.
I had so much fun with the first part I am having their Son carry on.
His parents died within minutes of each other.
I was able to invite them back into the household. They are playable ghosts and very happy to be back together. Debating on if Son should stay in same house or move out. Decisions decisions.....
@EuphorialQueen What fun! I can't wait to see what you decide
I really like the remodeled house ... but I always have them stay on the original lot. With his parents back as ghosts they could stay there.
Moving him out at this point would take him back to basic limited funds. He could always 'inherit' a few of Dad's Masterpieces and some of the Perfect Harvestables.

@EmmaVane I think wishing for children would be just fine.
