Educated teen run away challenge

Tuesday and Ali heads to school alone. While there, she gets a pop-up from Jeb, who she was trying to matchmake with Luna Villareal. Oh gosh...Luna is involved with someone? Who?

https://i.postimg.cc/5tvTxm4q/luna-has-someone-special-they-are-not-going-out-now.png

Ali gets an embarassed moodlet. Does this mean that Jeb is single again? Oh gosh, she really thought they would hit it off.

https://i.postimg.cc/kGkWXWXK/ali-then-gets-this-moodlet.png

When she gets home, she gets another pop-up about Luna and Jeb. Aha! They must have worked things out.

https://i.postimg.cc/XY2drMJn/and-another-notice-from-jdb-now-they-are-going-out.png

When she gets home from school, Ali is in a bad mood and for some reason wants to invite Noah over. Ali, you have computer club...you won't be able to spend much time together. Um, yeah, maybe that's a good thing, because she is enraged due to a mood swing.

https://i.postimg.cc/Ls3dtVc4/oh-gosh-ali-is-in-a-foul-mood-tues.png

She heads to the restroom (to take an angry poop) to try to get rid of this angry mood before Noah comes for a visit.

https://i.postimg.cc/VLKWC0Zy/and-ali-breaks-her-toilet.png

Oh no! Now her toilet is broken!

https://i.postimg.cc/k510Y5gL/she-just-leaves-noah-there-and-is-off-to-computer-club.png

Well, that doesn't help, but she has to leave for Computer Club, so she just walks past Noah without even saying anything to him. Look at that walk of hers! Oh Ali...the hormones are raging today.

When she returns from Computer Club, Noah is gone. Do you blame the poor guy? Ali is still angry, so have her try to calm herself down in the mirror. That seems to help. Maybe a change of scenery would do the trick, so she heads to ThriftTea.

https://i.postimg.cc/NG7y4cp7/luna-and-jeb-are-now-official.png

And while there, she gets yet another pop-up from Jeb. Wow! The guy works fast!

Ali does a lifestyle review on the microphone in ThirftTea and also the chess set in the park across the street.

https://i.postimg.cc/1t3djPDn/ali-does-a-lifestyle-review-on-the-microphone.png

While she is writing her review, a teen she hadn't seen before, Takumi Sasaki, sits down beside her. She glances at him, and boom, suddenly feels all hot and bothered. Yes, Ali has a crush on him!

https://i.postimg.cc/G2CPSjY4/ali-meets-a-new-teen.png

https://i.postimg.cc/C15M03bX/ali-has-a-crush-on-takumi.png

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Ali has a good day at school on Wednesdsayl, and decides to attend the Exam Prep session.

https://i.postimg.cc/BZyTrsxW/ali-attends-exam-prep.png

Afterwards, Ali calls Jacob Volkov to meet her there. Ali wants to apologize to him for the snaffu with the prom last week. She doesn't want any bad feelings between them. When Ali apologizes, Jacob doesn't seem upset with her at all, which is quite different from the reaction she got from Jeb. Um...In fact, Jacob is quite smitten with Ali...and...um...wow...Ali is very smitten with him, too. They both have a crush on each other!!! And the way Jacob is looking at her with his puppy-dog eyes...well, it makes her heart go all pitter-patter. Could this be true love? (Note: This is the first time that both Ali and another sim have had a mutual crush on each other!)

https://i.postimg.cc/mkB7cCvH/ali-apologizes-to-jacob-at-school-for-prom-snaffu.png

Ali was going to try to match Jacob up with someone because she has a lot of pink in her relationship with Wolfgang. But the way Ali is feeling right now, maybe Jacob is the sim she is meant to be with.

https://i.postimg.cc/Sxhjmmpn/ali-has-a-crush-on-jacob-and-jacob-has-a-crush-on-her.png

Oh gosh, and while she is talking to Jacob, her other crush, Wolfgang, comes towards her. Oh gee...what should she do? Ali takes a chance and decides that she and Wolfgang will just be friends. And Wolfgang seems to be okay with that. She is still best friends with Wolfgang...that hasn't changed...but maybe, for now, she needs to be with someone else. Who knows what the future will bring?

https://i.postimg.cc/VkqgNsrp/wolfgang-i-really-like-you-but-ive-fallen-for-someone-else.png

https://i.postimg.cc/PJFXYkLk/yeah-okay-ali-friends-is-best.png

After Jacob departs, Ali gives Wolfgang a hug and then heads down to the computer room and enters a novice tournament. She hopes she did the right thing.

https://i.postimg.cc/gJgmbPH6/thanks-for-being-a-friend-wolfgang.png

https://i.postimg.cc/q75H1GJ8/ALI-THEN-ENTERS-A-BLICKBLOCK-TOURNAMENT.png

And it seems that things are alright between Ali and Wolfgang because he follows her down to the computer room, sits down beside her, and plays some games himself.

https://i.postimg.cc/fb56JftG/ALI-AND-WOLF-PLAYNG-GAMES.png

https://i.postimg.cc/yxN97s4q/ALI-AND-WOLF-NOW-FRIENDS.png

And even though Ali didn't win at Blickblock, at least she and Wolfgang are still friends and there aren't any bad feelings between them.

Thursday, and I decide to join Ali at school. She gets this pop-up. What? Had she accidentally set Jacob up with Darling Walsh? Noooo! Oh this is a disaster! {Oops! I think the Watcher may have done this by accident.]

https://i.postimg.cc/GmXrhcdK/WHAT-OH-NO-ALIS-CRUSH-IS-GOING-OUT.png

Ali was going to ask Jacob to prom. But she doesn't have a promposal sign...maybe she can just ask him to go to prom...or go to prom as friends. Oh...this is terrible!

https://i.postimg.cc/wj8RcQmZ/WHO-WAS-THAT-CUTE-GUY-SITTING-BESIDE-HER.png

Oh wait! Is that the cute guy, Takumi, that she met at ThriftTea last night? Maybe he'll go to prom with her.

https://i.postimg.cc/J7SSxs4S/SHE-SEES-WOLFGANG-IN-THE-CAFETERIA-AND-HE-BANTERS-WITH-HER.png

Ali sees Wolfgang at lunch and he banters with her. Ali still has feelings for Wolfgang, and can't deny that she still has a major crush on him and is having a hard time getting over him. Maybe she made a terrible mistake asking him to be friends. Maybe she should ask him to the prom. But what if he says no? Oh what a mess she has created! Her mind and her hormones are just in chaos right now.

https://i.postimg.cc/3xjMd3hV/she-still-thinks-of-wolfgang.png

And as the day ends and she heads to Computer Club, Ali has not asked anyone to prom, and no-one has asked her. :(

https://i.postimg.cc/sXCPNCqP/OFF-TO-COMPUTER-CLUB.png

https://i.postimg.cc/P5Lmfqkz/PROMOTION-ON-COMPUTER-TEAM.png

Well at least she got some good news and has been promoted on the computer team! Woot!

Ali decides to head to ThiftTea and get help with her homework, and when she arrives...oh my gosh...Jacob is there, too. It's now or never, and Ali gets up the nerve to ask Jacob to the prom. With no promposal sign, she just asks him and holds her breath.

https://i.postimg.cc/kXL2cFkK/HI-JACOB-DO-YOU-WANT-TO-GO-TO-PROM-WITH-ME.png

And yes! He wants to go with her!

https://i.postimg.cc/BvS4cjQ2/response-from-jacob-on-prom-invite.png

Ali is soooo happy!

https://i.postimg.cc/gkcjmcZS/HOW-COULD-SHE-SAY-NO-TO-HIM.png

Ali starts her homework feeling better and she sees Takumi approach her table. Um...oh no...he wants to go to prom with her as friends. Why didn't you ask her at school, Takumi? Ali looks at his face and can't turn Takumi down the night before exams, so she tells Takumi that she will go with him. ALI! What are you thinking? You now have two prom dates!!

https://i.postimg.cc/ZqzhYjQb/TAKUMI-ASKS-HER-TO-PROM.png

Ali needs some air and heads outside, only to be followed by both Jacob and Takumi. Look at Jacob giving Takumi the eye, like, are you having thoughts about Ali, dude...because it's not going to happen.

https://i.postimg.cc/L6hqj68q/JACOB-YOU-MOVING-IN-ON-ALI-DUDE.png

After Takumi leaves, she chats a bit more with Jacob and finds out he's a vegetarian and is very outgoing. (Note: He's also a werewolf, but Ali doesn't know this yet.) All she can think about is Jacob, and all Jacob can think about is sports cars? Um...okay then. Ali then heads home.

https://i.postimg.cc/4xyVBQ41/ali-is-thinking-of-jacob-her-crush-and-jacob-is-thinking-of-cards.png

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

It's Friday, exam day, but first Ali has to head to her Simfluencer job. She decides to work from home, and since she hasn't created an outfit in awhile, heads to ThirtTea and creates a preppy look.

When she does, she suddenly gets a pop-up that she has been promoted to Mega-Simfluencer! Yes! She is now at the top of her career!

https://i.postimg.cc/d125wjyy/promoted-to-mega-simfliencer.png

Since this is the last step in the Goal Oriented Teen Aspiration, Ali completes that aspiration. Yes! Congrats Ali!

https://i.postimg.cc/y8KczCTv/goal-oriented-teen-aspiration-completed.png

What a great way to start the day! Because Ali has now completed the Goal Oriented Teen Aspiration, this will be the last day of high school for her. She will have a birthday party on Sunday and age-up to Young Adult and then apply to uni.

During her first exam, Takumi wants to become her new BFF. Oh gosh, this is getting serious. She really has to talk to him after exams, but in the meantime, she tells him she will be his new BFF. Maybe this will help her get over her crush with Wolfgang.

https://i.postimg.cc/3rtKgd9g/during-her-first-exam-takumi-wants-to-be-bff.png

At lunch, she wants to smooth things over with Noah for just leaving him at her house the other night. He totally understands and all is good between them.

https://i.postimg.cc/W37brxZb/apologizing-to-noah-for-the-other-nite.png

Ali heads to the cafeteria, and while there, meets a sim named Haych Ausage. Wow! He's a hottie! And you guessed it, Ali now has a crush on Haych! He is loyal and a green fiend.

https://i.postimg.cc/L6ntmFGp/such-a-cuties.png

https://i.postimg.cc/bJPXjTv7/now-ali-has-a-crush-on-haychi.png

Ali heads off to her second exam, and during the exam, Haych wants to be her new BFF! Um, what? She just became new BFF's with Takumi...but alright, sure, you can be my new BFF.

https://i.postimg.cc/Bn5kBFpN/haych-wants-to-be-bff.png

Ali did pretty well on her exams and after exams, Takumi chats with her. Ali decides that she has to tell him that she can't go to prom with him. It's the right thing to do.

Oh my gosh! She didn't realize that Takumi would take it so hard. He's crying! Oh...Takumi, I'm so sorry.

https://i.postimg.cc/s2q5qQHZ/i-cant-go-to-prom-wityh-you.png

https://i.postimg.cc/c40wpNhT/omg-i-didnt-know-hed-take-it-so-hard.png

What a day Ali had. There is a Cheer competition, but Ali decides to skip that. On her way to her locker, she sees Greta Laurent and tells her about Takumi. Maybe she and Takumi will hit it off.

https://i.postimg.cc/Bncv8sYy/gretas-response-to-takumi.png

Ali decides to head home. Her moodlets and hormone swings have been out of control lately. Um, yeah, that's an understatement, Ali!

It's Ali's last weekend as a teen, so she decides to join Scouts and quit Computer Club. Scouts is an after-school weekend activity and I figure she can earn whatever badges she can in Scouts before her birthday party tomorrow. The day is dark and cloudy and it's Talk Like a Pirate Day.

https://i.postimg.cc/KjbbhpBT/on-her-last-weekend-as-a-teen-she-will-join-scouts.png

I was going to have her keep her job as a Simfluencer until she started university, but I guess it conflicted with Scouts, and the game automatically had her quit her job, too. Oh well.

https://i.postimg.cc/v8CqTxNP/quit-computer-team-and-quit-simfluencer-job.png

She gets a pop-up that Akira Kibo wants to purchase her preppy outfit at $50,190 simoleons! Woot!

https://i.postimg.cc/nh3wHSbm/akira-kibo-buys-preppy-sat.png

And Mayor Whiskers, who is a cat, wants to purchase one of her paintings on plopsy! She didn't know that cats had simoleons.

https://i.postimg.cc/d3MJ5t5J/sells-a-painting-sat.png

But the very best call she got in the morning was from Jacob, who asked her on a date. She had to decline because it was in Windenburg, but this just made her day. Of course, she'll see him at prom tonight, so it's still good.

https://i.postimg.cc/5NnZ028j/jacob-asks-ali-on-a-date.png

Even though it's Ali's last weekend as a teen in high school, she still does her homework. Ali then changes into her Scout uniform. She looks pretty good. There is a leaf pile near her house that is stinky, so she decides to burn the leaves to get rid of the smell. Oh gosh! Her outdoor skills are sadly lacking as she nearly sets fire to herself!

https://i.postimg.cc/mZ0015nW/birning-the-leaf-pile-and-nearly-herself.png

Maybe she should try something she knows, like fishing. Much better and she earns that badge. She also donates all those mounted fish she's been carrying around in her personal inventory to charity for another badge.

https://i.postimg.cc/8CKRJxtR/wo9rking-on-her-outdoor-badge.png

When she arrives back from Scouts, she got promoted to Griffon Scout! Way to go Ali!

https://i.postimg.cc/ZqNmW5gk/griffon-scout-promo-ali.png

It's now after 4pm and prom starts at 7pm. She decides to do some paintings for another badge. She gets another notification that she has been promoted to Unicorn Scout and gets a bronze trophy! Yes!

https://i.postimg.cc/gJRk3ZGY/promo-to-unicorn-scout.png

Time to get ready for prom. Thank goodness she already bought her dress! teehee

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

At promptly 7pm, Ali is whisked away to the prom. I am determined that she will get a gold reward this time! Ali grabs a drink.

https://i.postimg.cc/Y9gq19mB/ali-grabs-a-drink.png

And thank goodness one of the prom party goals is to eat something because she is starving.

https://i.postimg.cc/nrp2xX4H/gosh-shes-hungry.png

She heads over to the dance floor and she and Jacob sit down together. She finds out that his favorite color is green! Just like hers! He looks so good in that shirt and bowtie.

https://i.postimg.cc/k5LWJ2d0/jacob-and-ali.png

After dancing, gossiping and talking to a lot of sims, it's time for the Prom Royalty Presentation. Ali voted for Hugo Villareal for Jester, and, of course, Jacob for prom royalty. And they both won!

https://i.postimg.cc/MKkMvCNQ/jester-and-prom-royalty.png

Ali asks Jacob to take a photo with her in the photo booth...a romantic photo!!

https://i.postimg.cc/nh4vFFLr/a-great-photo-shot.png

I guess it was a good photo, because she gets this moodlet! lol

https://i.postimg.cc/Gmgsh4Cc/oh-my-whatr-did-the-photo-look-like.png

Jacob might be prom royalty, but he never forgot who he was there with. Ali and Jacob dance a sweetheart dance together. The night couldn't be more perfect, and Ali gets that gold reward! Yes!

https://i.postimg.cc/440Mt5Qt/magical-nite-together.png

https://i.postimg.cc/Nf5KCgXS/prom-royalty.png

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

But the night isn't over yet, and her friend Liam invites her to an after-prom party. Ali accepts and invites a bunch of friends.

https://i.postimg.cc/tT84L6Wc/after-prom-party.png

https://i.postimg.cc/1XZZGrpy/everyone-is-here.png

Ali asks Jacob to go on a romantic ride with her in the cuddle carts (no mess around option, probably because they haven't kissed yet). Here goes nothing! On the ride, there are some cheesy props, and Ali wonders if she should just joke about it all or try to put a flirty spin on this cheesy ride?

https://i.postimg.cc/v8LmP4D0/corny-jail-on-ride.png

Ali decides to go for the flirty spin, and Jacob loves this playful side of her. Oh gosh, and they have gained even more romance between them!

https://i.postimg.cc/43B5bfVy/ali-leans-into-the-atmosphere.png

After the ride, Ali and Jacob can't keep their eyes off of each other.

https://i.postimg.cc/FRx7JzLC/a-oosef-in-luv-with-jacob.png

And Ali herself is swooning....yes, swooning over Jacob. Ali has never felt this way about another sim like she is feeling with Jacob.

https://i.postimg.cc/P5cZtCWm/ali-is-smitten.png

And, as is tradition, Ali plays a song on the guitar and gets tips from her friends.

https://i.postimg.cc/0QShtKfZ/the-end-of-the-night.png

Some of them start to head home, but she and Wolfgang head to play chess together. As they play chess, Ali knows that Wolfgang will always be a special sim to her.

https://i.postimg.cc/25Q42zWh/a-i-and-wolfgang-play-some-chess.png

It's time for Ali to head home, too, and she says goodbye to Jacob and gives Wolfgang some props. What a perfect night. Sweet dreams, Ali. :heart:

https://i.postimg.cc/LX0hV7xj/tome-to-head-home.png

Last night might have been THE perfect night for Ali, but the same can't be said for a few other sims. For some reason, she has a bit of pink with Noah Kane, Kevin Puri and Rohan Elderberry, and they are all upset with her for not inviting them to prom, and Ali is upset that they didn't ask her. Um...well...Ali...did you really want to go to prom with someone else? Think about it! Um, no...yeah, I thought so. Well, Ali will have to fix this before her birthday party, and hopefully won't get any more crushes on a sim between now and then. (I really hope that when she becomes a Young Adult that all these crushes end. It is soo crazy.)

https://i.postimg.cc/jSh46H7t/kevin-resentful.png

https://i.postimg.cc/6pHG5YZ2/rohan-resentful.png

https://i.postimg.cc/cH3KhWbw/noah-kane-resentful.png

To clear her mind of all this drama, Ali goes for a jog in the neighborhood. She is also trying to work on her fitness badge. And oh gee...she doesn't quite make it to the restroom in time. Oops!

https://i.postimg.cc/tgZF0n4x/ali-goes-for-a-jog-and-doesnt-quite-make-it-home.png

After making it home and using the toilet and taking a tepid shower, she decides to start applying for uni scholarships. And holy! Ali has a lot she can apply for. Of course she applies for them all! (I couldn't get them all to fit in one screenie, so after the SuperScout is the Copperdale Resident.)

https://i.postimg.cc/nzbgy3Wm/ali-has-a-lot-of-scholarships-she-can-apply-for.png

She then gets a call from Jacob to come to the flea market in San Myshuno with him. Ahhh...two days in a row he calls her, but unfortunately Ali must decline.

https://i.postimg.cc/Kz1jWvdj/two-days-in-a-row-jacob-asks-ali-to-go-to-the-flea-market-with-him.png

Once she has filled out all the scholarship info, she decides to call Kevin and Noah to try to apologize for the prom snaffu. She also does a bit of decorating for her birthday party. She was able to smooth things over with them. She then calls Rohan, but he appears at the same time she has to leave for Scouts, so she will have to make amends with Rohan another time.

https://i.postimg.cc/YCpwyQ8d/ali-does-a-bit-of-decorating-for-her-party-and-invites-kevin-and-noah-over.png

She is back from Scouts, and has been promoted to Pegasus Scout and also earned a Silver Scout Award. She takes a selfie in her Scout uniform, as this is the last time we'll see her in this.

https://i.postimg.cc/gJVrvBRk/SHE-TAKES-A-SELFIE-IN-HER-SCOUT-UNIFORM.png

She then heads inside and bakes her own birthday cake! She decides on a hamburger cake. She immediately sets it out and places candles on it.

https://i.postimg.cc/RVVqHd04/ALI-BAKES-HER-OWN-CAKE.png

She also makes some fruit salad and puts out any food that is not spoiled. Turns out she has a lot of cheese. Well, that should hold everyone until the caterer prepares something.

https://i.postimg.cc/fTGnNWpp/SHE-ALSO-MAKES-SOME-FRUIT-SALAD.png

Then she plans her social event, and the place looks great. A lot of the same items she used from her Spooky Party, with a few new items. I also enlarged a photo of her and placed it at the front of the lot.

https://i.postimg.cc/4yjMswLV/alis-bday-party-area.png

The music is playing and the party has started! Woot!

https://i.postimg.cc/hPq6yZmR/A-FEW-SIMS-HAVE-ARRIVED.png

And the party goals this time are to play a game together! Yes! Cards anyone?

https://i.postimg.cc/sf091MV6/ALI-PLAYS-A-GAME-OF-CARDS.png

And let's not forget that slow dance with her crush, Jacob.

https://i.postimg.cc/zf0HMQvt/SWEETHEART-DANCE.png

Everyone is having a great time.

https://i.postimg.cc/sgzcCtfs/SIMS-HAVING-A-GOOD-TIME.png

Liam is listening to the violinist.

https://i.postimg.cc/8krBJ1jT/VIOLINIST-PRETTY-FANCY.png

Ali orders a round of drinks.

https://i.postimg.cc/RVBfWKkT/ALI-ORDERS-A-ROUND-OF-DRINKS.png

https://i.postimg.cc/C5VZfpQK/THE-NIGHT-IS-YOUNG.png

https://i.postimg.cc/zBHtGKsr/DANCING-ON-THE-DANCE-FLOOR.png

It's time to blow out the candles, and Ali summons everyone around. But there is one thing that she wants to do before she ages up, and that is to have a first kiss with Jacob.

https://i.postimg.cc/bvkpSScQ/ALI-GETS-HER-BDAY-KISS.png

And right after that first kiss, Jacob blew Ali a kiss. I guess that was a signal, and she blows out her candles. Ooboo Vroose Baa Dooo! (Happy Birthday)

https://i.postimg.cc/B6C3MWvb/BLOW-OUT-THE-CANDLES.png

Her new trait is Loves Outdoors, and the new Academic Aspiration for uni. She has now quit Scouts and has graduated high school.

https://i.postimg.cc/xT8Qy4Vj/ALIS-NEW-TRAITS-YA.png

https://i.postimg.cc/tTBfs9T3/NO-LONGER-IN-SCOUTS-AND-GRADUATED.png

And she graduated high school with Honors. Congrats Ali!

https://i.postimg.cc/g0q1PVbB/GRADUATE-WITH-HONORS.png

Cake time! And Jacob and Ali make a great pair when they're eating. Jacob wolfing down his food, and Ali with her glutton trait! lol

https://i.postimg.cc/YS3DPtQ5/JACOB-IS-LITERALLY-WOLFGING-DOWN-THAT-CAKE.png

https://i.postimg.cc/1zC2t94p/DIGGING-INTO-HER-CAKE.png

The party is over and she gets gold! Yes! And a new dresser.

https://i.postimg.cc/GpVKV9HS/OPENING-A-GIFT-SOMEONE-LEFT.png

There are a lot of gifts that were left for her, and she opens one of them. Oh my gosh! Not the gift she was looking for! Some prankster obviously put that in the pile! (She got a large pet poop!)

https://i.postimg.cc/Bntx349W/NOT-THE-BDAY-GIFT-ALI-WAS-HPUNG-FOR.png

Most of the guests have left, except her three closest friends, Kiyoshi, Wolfgang and Jeb. They wish her happy birthday one more time and then head off together.

https://i.postimg.cc/8c160VB0/IT-WAS-TIME-FOR-THEM-ALL-TO-GO.png

Ali thought that everyone had left, and as she rounded the corner, someone was waiting for her. Jacob! He was still there!

Jacob took her over to a brand new cake that had birthday candles on it and told her that it was his birthday, too! Before she could say anything, he blew out the candles and aged up to Young Adult, too. (I temporarily moved Jacob in with Ali just for the age-up. I used the randomizer for his trait and it came up loyal. How fitting.).

https://i.postimg.cc/nc3PTFYN/ANOTHER-SIM-WAITING-TO-TALK-TO-HER.png

https://i.postimg.cc/43P7H0Tv/EXCITING-TIMES.png

Now this was really special, and I could not believe this happened...but the moment that Jacob aged up, he went over to Ali and autonomously gave her a red rose. Wow! These two are really in love.

https://i.postimg.cc/y6tjvLDX/THE-FIRST-THING-THAT-JACOB-DOES-WHEN-HE-AGES-UP-IS-OFFER-ALI-A-ROSE.png

After eating more cake and cleaning up, Jacob and Ali head inside to sit down. Jacob needed to tell Ali something.

https://i.postimg.cc/fby04hF3/ALI-IVE-NEVER-MET-ANYONE-LIKE-YOU.png

Jacob: "Ali, I've never met anyone like you before, and I feel we have just started our journey together. But I need to tell you something, and I will understand if you don't want to see me anymore..."

Ali: "Jacob, what is it?"

Jacob stood up and held Ali's hands in his::"Do you ever feel like a misfit? Like everything inside you is dark and twisted?"*

https://i.postimg.cc/yd5480vh/ali-i-have-to-go-but-i-need-to-tell-you-that-i-am-a-werewolf.png

Ali: "Jacob, are you trying to tell me that you're somehow different? It's okay to be different, you know, 'cause so am I...we all are...and that's what makes up our Simworld. And yes, I kind of feel all dark and twisted inside sometimes, ...because...um...well sometimes I can't help it and I get angry over nothing...so yeah...I understand those feelings and feel like I'm different..." (Ali's hot-headed trait).

Jacob: "Yeah, I know you're different, Ali...but different in a very special way. I haven't told anyone this before, so, I'm just going to spit it right out and tell you that...that I'm a werewolf. I wasn't always one, but I was bitten and now I am. And when there is a full moon, I have no control and I change. But I am not a bad werewolf, my adopted father believes that we need to embrace our simselves, and try to control the beast within. There are ways, you know, to do that, and I try every full moon. There are a lot of stereotypes about werewolves, so I do understand if this is all too much for you..."

https://i.postimg.cc/tJhP4Np8/jacob-i-dont-care-if-you-are-a-werewolf-i-love-you.png

Ali kissed Jacob's hands and looked into his eyes: "Jacob...I can see how you act everyday, and that's what counts. And as far as stereotypes...I like to form my own opinions about sims...and It doesn't matter to me whether you are a werewolf or not...because I...I like being around you."

(I actually had Jacob ask Ali for Werewolf Sympathy and I guess she was alright with werewolves, so, yeah, Jacob is so happy about that and he got some Werewolf Diplomacy because of it.)

https://i.postimg.cc/hP7gf4z8/werewolf-diplomacy-jacob.png

Jacob:"Ah, Ali...I like being around you, too...actually more than "just like" being around you...I have feelings for you, Ali..."

Ali answered shyly: "I have feelings for you, too, Jacob..."

Jacob smiled, "I'm so glad you feel this way. I've gotta go, though, but I'll see you at graduation...Happy Birthday, again, Ali!"

And with that, Jacob gave Ali an autonomous kiss on the cheek good night and left for home. Ahhh...so sweet. (I then moved him back with his family in Moonwood Mill. I am so happy that I decided to have Ali go forward with Jacob. Things were never like this between Wolfgang and her. Jacob really is the one for her!)

Notes:

I wasn't going to get into a story in this challenge, but just added a little bit of dialogue when Jacob had to tell Ali he was a werewolf. And, of course, had to tie-in a song with that revelation. Enjoy :)

*Lyrics from the song, "So Am I", by Ava Max, 2019.

Thank you so much for reading our stories.

I'm not an expert on Trendi by any means, but I just found that if you stick with the same style, your chance of success is higher. So that is why when I created an outfit, I chose all of the same style. When I click the "promote current look" button to get it to Hot and then Fire, I only look at the item in her personal inventory, and then once it gets to Fire, I have her sell it. In the beginning, I couldn't get it to Fire, probably because I didn't have many Social Bunny followers. I do believe that these two are tied in somehow. So, she may have gotten a notice that interest has decreased, but I just ignore that and keep hitting the button. I don't think I've ever gotten a fail message, but, again, I never look at those messages and just keep promoting it. I also try to choose rare or very rare items in the outfit.

I know when I created her first outfit, I priced it too high and it didn't sell, so I had to sell it at a different price. That was a fail, I guess! lol

I did read one article on Trendi, and that is where I got the info to stick to a certain style. Here is the LINK if you want to read it. There are also much more in-dept youtube videos on Trendi as well.

I hope that helps. Again, not an expert here! lol Just trying to have my poor sim make some simoleons. And now that she has the entrepreneurial level 5 and a ton of followers, it seems too easy now to make simoleons in Trendi. I mean the last outfit she got over $50K for it. I might have her make one other outfit, but then I will stop because I really don't want her to get too rich. I have even contemplated starting rags to riches again when she hits uni. lol I just love that playstyle.
