@Sprottenham Good to hear you are resting and taking in fluids! Yeah just rest and take in water, soups and what ever you can handle. my friend, before she moved to another continent would bring me her chicken soup and she swore it Cured everything! It's a chicken broth that has the most pretty clear yellow color and is divine! Then she told me hers is the Best because she makes it like her GrandMother made it in the olden days, with Chicken Feet to make the stock! :# Ack! hahaha, but even knowing that I would be grateful for another bowl of it today, it's that delicious! chicken broth is the old wives tale of curing illness, and I think old wives tales are based on truth ;) It at least make you feel better!
Ah Simies! I think from teen on to older, when the person starts lots of friendly talking to another, that Can start it the gender preference, and definitely which ever gender flirts with them first, is a big deciding factor. For example, All that talking between Lekeke and Basti on the first day altered Lekeke to go from 0 to 1 in favor of males. I had an inkling that would happen. But Basti stayed 0 undecided until Mary embraced him. He kissed her of his own accord. But Basti in the past talked a lot to females at parties (girls are attracted to him and his brother Bjorn), where Lekeke has mostly only ever talked with males at parties. Interesting!
I agree with you on the little kids, I have also seen a bond already start, But I too, always let my sims decide for themselves.
Oh I adore David Attenborough since he was a young man doing his documentaries! Hahaha I think the bonobos are not only not monogamous but they seem to love peace and community more than other species! It's interesting how they use woo to solve conflicts too! It's super funny how comparing them to chimps, the bonobos with just go for it like it's no big deal, but the chimps will look all around, hoping to not get caught when they want someone already spoken for! :D
ah, romance! I think they just really love each other, and think they found their person, that, and their traits: hopeless romantic & flirty, and their environment that has woo objects everywhere, they especially love the lounge bed on community lots. Also I 'train' them in that I don't direct them Or interrupt them, sets the pace for the entire town to realize/learn that romance is what's it's all about. It's really hard to not interrupt them, it gets super boring, like Rico and Diana, now that the witch is gone, sometimes woo all dang day and only stop, it seems, to take care of the baby or to eat or go to the bathroom! LOL that's why I combine households, so someone else will interrupt them to pillow fight or chat!
I was so surprised to see Bastian had left the house! I was only gone to Leif's for half hour! I wonder why Him, and not the other teens? and I wonder about the whole thing, him getting himself in a situation of getting embraced and all that. Did He/they Plan it? Did the Game? Did Basti want to be away from Lekeke to choose his own gender pref? ?♀️??? It reminds me of when I first got either Alfie or Max I can't remember which one, I took him to the festival to see if he would fall for someone. He was gay in Alexa's world but when I got him he was gender pref neutral. Anyway as soon as he got there, He looked at the kissing booth and Victor was the male kissing booth guy, a homeless person we didn't know yet, and Victor took one look, left his post, and RAN to his car and drove away fast! ? Now why did he Do that? LOL I always think it's because Victor didn't want even the remote chance to become gay. I know it sounds crazy but that's what I think.??
Yes Basti loooves kissing Mary! But Joe has the advantage that he lives with Mary! So Joe might win.
Yes Mary couldn't look at either boy!? LOL and Hanae was awesome, I never saw a parent do that before!
Yes baby Iliya likes Basti the best, they have a strong bond already. I was so glad Basti went to cover him, I guess there is a pull to cover babies that the napping mat has.
I'm glad you liked the episode! I want to focus on each orphan to see what they are all about. And Preacher too, I think he is so interesting. :)
