I looked outside in the blizzard and saw this. I was and wasn't surprised to see this. Zeph was only a notable newcomer too.
But, there was literally a blizzard... Why? And during a date too.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52054351665_a38319b615_b.jpgZeph tried to make the date worthwhile with stories about robot invasions, but being a geek could only be so charming.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52053864446_b97ab3b865_b.jpgFor a moment, I thought the fans would leave them alone, but I was mistaken. Zeph really did try hard during the date. Sefina did love his geek nature. Zeph was her geek after all.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52053863891_134134f0b3_b.jpgI had Zeph stop his date to sing Agean's Question to Sergio. I was hoping that would be enough to make him leave, but I guess the celebrity sighting overpowered the tense moodlet. I also think he didn't want to go out into the blizzard. Zeph was trapped in a small room with a bunch of fans intruding on his date.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52054351595_3210e7ebc0_b.jpgA Vampire Townie showed up and had a few choice words when I finally got to leave the date. I kinda like her.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52052817062_1c89f89066_b.jpgDylan played wing-merman and helped his brother recover. First, he removed the sub-par DJ. I'm very impressed with the range of a Siren's Call. Sims across the map get lured into the sea. But, most merfolk abilities can impact entire neighborhoods and worlds.
Fun Fact: if a mermaid or merman calls a thunderstorm. Every single neighborhood in a world is subject to that thunderstorm. Leaving the lot to go to a different neighborhood won't change the weather.

Dylan has so many different ways to change a sims mood, but that's the power of art.
Note: If you look, Cecelia showed up too. Dylan didn't invite her to hang out, but she showed up anyways.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52053896558_f25547dcc6_b.jpgDylan on the phone: "Operator, my brother is love struck. He's still lost in the party."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52053864326_af16437627_b.jpgUnfortunately, being a Marine Biologist doesn't yield any fame, but I did learn that shooting a nature documentary brings in Royalties. I had Dylan take pictures of Mua Pel'Am and I didn't get any pictures that could be sold or shared for fame.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52054099909_12345916e8_c.jpgThis wouldn't be a bad profile picture for Zeph. He's looking good and knows it too.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52052816582_a53ae4a20d_b.jpgOf course, if any sim can sing as well as the twins, they would build fame quickly. Dylan and Zeph gained a lot of their fame from Karaoke Performances.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52054100209_2c4b51fc77_b.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52054351430_0cdc64d872_h.jpgEventually, I went back to the Sand Bar and realized that the roof was still in bad shape after my attempt at getting my twins struck by lighting twice. I redid the bar and put in a stage for performing. I had Dylan and Zeph dress in their merman attire, with a shirt and shoes. They would be drawing attention to themselves after all.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52104751299_295201ae70_b.jpgThe Bar also has a small area that should make it function as a lounge too. I might change the lot type so Talent Shows can take place in Sulani.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52104536413_237155082e_b.jpgThis is when Dylan caught Cecelia Cheating with another merman. It was minor Flirting, and the moodlet was overpowered by tons of positive moodlets. Needless to say, Dylan was upset at first, but he was quickly unaffected by her flirting.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52104498051_9bc8a3fcfe_b.jpgI think the game got upset that I ignored the drama it so conveniently put in front of me because Dylan was struck by lightning....
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52105008225_01c54f9c3d_b.jpgZeph was taking a break from performing, and he changed into his merman attire for cold weather. He had a moment with Sefina.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52104535578_c1aa9358c7_b.jpgHere's a look at the stage for performing. And yes, Sims can actually perform with a Guitar or Violin. With enough Simoleons, performers can be hired.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52104536388_7474f69a4c_h.jpgI also had Dylan and Zeph perform at the Flea Market. After I made my post about where my Twins like to hang out, I remembered that Zeph actually enjoys the City and Island Festivals. He's a regular at these events.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52104752159_25f0f4bba4_h.jpgI made another Karaoke Bar/ Bowling Ally in San Myshuno and the twins went there to perform. I had Dylan and Zeph get excited to see each other there. It was really hilarious to be honest. They were both ecstatic to see each other because they were both celebrities. Dylan and Zeph spend so much time together that they actually get powerful moodlets from being near each other. With sentiment system, they often get the stronger moodlets that last for days.
In my game right now, Dylan is feeling protective of Zeph with the Adoring Sentiment and Zeph is getting playful with a Good Times Sentiment. This is actually pretty normal with the twins. They are that close.

Zeph dressed like Dylan does in his Everyday Merman Attire.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52103472752_b9f97b9566_b.jpgI ended up changing them back into their Merman Attire for Cold weather with shirt and shoes. They weren't in Sulani and had to at least blend in with humans somewhat. They ended up posing for the Paparazzi Together. After seeing what would happen with different perks and quirks, I had the twins step out of the spotlight so they could build their fame naturally. They have unstoppable fame, so it's only a matter of time before they become world famous celebrities.
