And kinda hoping you guys do No Skills, No Problem next as was brought up as a possibility :* Not interested in playing this scenario personally, but I've been thinking about doing no skills for awhile
@mightysprite and @permanentrose The girls are awesome. Loving their detailed backstories. Will get some of my own story up once I’m back at my computer and get a chance. Have been pulled to the “real” world temporarily.
Esther loves every single living creature https://i.ibb.co/3ywCmNY/14-12-2023-9-19-22.png Gui loves to paint oddly looking animals https://i.ibb.co/6w2QPBp/14-12-2023-9-26-58.png https://i.ibb.co/z7QsHNj/14-12-2023-9-28-33.png
Esther tried to flirt with Gui https://i.ibb.co/JvHFNM6/14-12-2023-9-22-04.png But he wasn't really feeling it... https://i.ibb.co/4jm0pZy/14-12-2023-9-22-20.png Aaand.... The very next day Gui got a phone call to which he responded with a yes. This is going to be interesting... https://i.ibb.co/bLmqd4P/14-12-2023-9-29-23.png
@DoloresGrey That looks like fun, I can't wait to see what happens with the homestay XD Guillermo is giving Bob Ross a little bit with that amazing hair and the painting!
@permanentrose I couldn't have a dog in the household to start with, but adopting one ingame was fine. I hope Dela and Mia enjoy their kitty!
@DoloresGrey I already love Esther and Guillermo - and I agree with @mightysprite, Guillermo is giving Bob Ross vibes. It will be fun to see how the stay over goes - I wonder if one of them will end up wooing her haha
The next day, Mia continued painting. https://i.imgur.com/nJItSMN.png
While Dela headed to the Starlight Lounge to meet with fashion A-lister Penny Pizzaz. https://i.imgur.com/fqjOknV.png https://i.imgur.com/UqRU83y.png
"Your style is so iconic - mind if I snap a few pics for inspiration?" https://i.imgur.com/WweWGxY.png
Meanwhile, Mia had decided to take a walk to get some fresh air when she stumbled upon a hungry little friend. https://i.imgur.com/x6LfQer.png
"Oh, aren't you just the sweetest thing." ��https://i.imgur.com/BYX4MBK.jpg
A woman approached her as she held the cat in her arms. "Isn't she the sweetest? I've been feeding her for weeks now but sadly I can't adopt. She's always digging around the dumpster behind that sushi restaurant so I've fondly been calling her Sushi. I do so hope she gets a home soon..." https://i.imgur.com/IGcfTgt.png
"Dela is gonna kill me..." https://i.imgur.com/afNoJWA.png
"Surprise!" https://i.imgur.com/s6EzqFf.jpg
"Mia?! What have you done? You never think anything through! We don't even have anything a cat would need, and this is most certainly something we BOTH would need to discuss beforehand." https://i.imgur.com/fRizhpE.png
"I don't care how cute she is..." https://i.imgur.com/hfpScFP.png
"Being a little menace already..." https://i.imgur.com/P7TA0Fu.jpg
"You can stay for now, but I'll be putting up flyers tomorrow to see if anyone else can adopt you instead." https://i.imgur.com/7UcC64G.png
This is a great idea @NRowe Lately I have been building so much, it is fun to play the game again. Do you mind if I join in? As it happens I have a few moments over the next few days to play the game.
Meet Adrielle and Marco https://i.imgur.com/OMjCkHX.png I created them with the story mode to create characters. Okay, I cheated a bit and rerolled the 3rd question long enough to end up with occult sims. ;)
Marco is an artist with skills in violin and guitar traits: music lover, romantic, neat, collector
Adrielle is in the culinairy career and loves cooking and baking traits: collector, good, active, foodie
One fine day Marco visited the magic realm for some errands and spotted a sim he had never met. https://i.imgur.com/ijwcYtU.png
https://i.imgur.com/UfNawlk.png
They started talking and he invited her for a cup of tea in the famous café in the magic real (let's pretend here) https://i.imgur.com/vTIUqx3.png
They fell in love instantly and had several dates https://i.imgur.com/qCeuJqC.png
https://i.imgur.com/JTaln0c.png
https://i.imgur.com/gxxxg0Y.png
For some reason Adrielle always kept her distance. He asked her to come live with her but she declined again and again. He didn't understand because it was clear to everyone that she loved him just as much as he loved her. If only she would give him a chance...
Marco didn't want to let her go so he went to the magic realm once more. He cast a magical spell upon them both so they would live together. https://i.imgur.com/yR9GMR0.png
https://i.imgur.com/oYpHqcb.png
https://i.imgur.com/wK9jLzs.png
The first days were like a dream but one night he finally found out why she was so reluctant to move in. https://i.imgur.com/tJ93Sgj.png
https://i.imgur.com/LKnJ7ii.png
She was angry and embarrassed at being exposed like this. He felt hurt because she didn't trust him enough to share her secret. Now both of them are stuck together in the same house until the spell wears off.
Edit : these pics were made with a copy of my sims without the scenario. For some reason I enjoyed giving them a proper back story. For the scenario itself I now have everything in place to start.
Last post for now, as I need to take a break to get some other projects done, and I feel like I'm plowing ahead rather quickly while you all get started haha. I am recovering from a pretty extensive surgery right now and can't do much else so it has been fun to delve into the sims again recently :)
Dela awoke early in the morning to the sound of skittering and squeaks and had to bite back a scream. https://i.imgur.com/nuHob0N.png
"Since it looks like you're going to stay, you might as well earn your keep," Dela told Sushi as she backed away from the hole in the wall. https://i.imgur.com/tFuM9kI.png https://i.imgur.com/AftswxC.png
Having a cat around with the newly discovered rodent infestation was definitely a plus, and Dela found she didn't even have the heart to scold Sushi as she jumped up on the table to join her for breakfast. https://i.imgur.com/TvBbeY2.png https://i.imgur.com/3tOCp2x.png
After Dela went to work, Mia busked for a bit. Dela had always complained that her work was too sporadic, wishing Mia would stick to one career and have a stable income, but Mia loved spontaneity and could never stick to anything for very long. https://i.imgur.com/B876K3p.jpg
She was delighted when her best friend Noah called and invited her over. (And her social bar really appreciated it too) https://i.imgur.com/yxXhPUK.png
And seeing Noah meant she got to see his adorable pug, Estelle, as well. https://i.imgur.com/71NtQzA.png https://i.imgur.com/GcnQZiI.jpg
Noah had just finished making a new cake recipe and Mia was more than happy to taste test it for him. "We should go out tonight," Noah prompted as she took her last bite. "I know karaoke was your and Dela's thing, but you're so good at it and I don't think you should let the break up ruin that for you." https://i.imgur.com/u9ytzQP.png
Mia agreed, reluctant at first, but soon embraced the night as they entered the bar. https://i.imgur.com/2uWkpMW.png
As she went to go order drinks, she noticed that of all people, Dela was there with another woman! https://i.imgur.com/vfb1ExI.png
Dela looked a bit taken aback as the woman led her up to the stage, and the two of them began to sing. https://i.imgur.com/Momd1j8.png
"Is she moving on already?" Mia seethed. "And with karaoke of all things! That's OUR thing." Noah was sympathetic, but much more rational than Mia. "That's Penny Pizzazz. She's been working on a project with Dela." Of course, having mutual friends with her ex meant that Mia couldn't expect Noah to completely take her side. "You should go up and ask Dela if she'll sing with you. Since you two are stuck living together, you might as well get on friendly terms again, and I know neither of you can resist a good duet." https://i.imgur.com/JsGOSt7.png
Mia couldn't argue with that. She downed the rest of her drink, and bravely approached Dela, who hesitantly accepted her offer, unable to help but to crack a small smile. https://i.imgur.com/uwJpxMR.png
And just like that, it was like the break up had never happened, if only for a moment. https://i.imgur.com/blkx9qS.png
As the song ended, their fingers nearly brushed, sparks sizzling between them before they abruptly pulled apart. https://i.imgur.com/GLvVWOD.png
They didn't speak until they got home, and even then, their conversation was short, as neither wanted the conversation to devolve into arguing. They could hold onto this moment of happiness for now. https://i.imgur.com/nr9fHsY.jpg
Getting these sims not to hate each other is REALLY hard, just a heads up. I looked up some tips and this is what has been working best. First, let the negative sentiments fade away before trying to interact too much (I definitely messed this one up a lot in the beginning as you can see haha). Then I saw a tip to make a club where you ban negative interactions between members and make friendly interactions the desired interactions. This helped a lot, especially after I had them both apologize over and over again. And then doing things like playing chess together also help lower the red friendship bar. It's taking forever to get them out of the red, but using these tricks, it's finally happening. Just thought I'd let you all know so you don't get super frustrated like I was if you're planning to patch up a friendship or romance with your two main sims haha.
