Sim 66
Sim 66 is a story created around my new, experimental Sims game set in the 1960s. As well as decking out my Sims, both PC and NPC, in groovy gear and in period houses, I'll be playing them as Boomers...

Sim 66, part 34 continued
Suzy thought about what Gillian had asked for...a simple matter of introducing this girl to some of her modelling contacts. There was a risk; if she proved to be a liability and as demanding as Suzy had suspected it might reflect badly on her. On the other hand, if what she had to say was revelatory then perhaps she would be forgiven if the story was good.
"OK, I know people who might help your modelling career" said Suzy, hoping she wouldn't regret it. "I have a business card from a top photographer...it's yours IF you tell me about this guy." She held the card aloft, just out of Gillian's reach.
"Alright....I've been dating Malcolm Landgraab...the heir to the Landgraab fortune" the girl said.
"I know the Landgraabs. Go on" said Suzy.
"Well...he's no angel but then again, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree if you get my drift" Gillian continued.
"This I already know" said Suzy, turning the business card over in her hand.
"OK...here's the dope..." said Gillian leaning in and speaking softly. "Malcolm's been supplying the party scene with some substances that the cops wouldn't take too kindly too: 'Shrooms, acid and especially space cookies. It's his way of 'expanding' the family business with a sideline of his own."
"And the family business is, what, exactly?" asked Suzy.
"The old man's a ruthless business tycoon...as you know. But he's REALLY cutthroat. Putting people out of business, cutting off their water and power supplies. It's less like a corporation and more like a protection racket. But not to be outdone is Mommy Dearest...she's into ALL kinds of criminal activities! She pretty much runs the Sim City underworld!"
Suzy said nothing. She was shocked by this revelation...the Landgraabs were way worse than she had initially suspected. Clearing her throat, she asked Gillian "So are you going to keep dating Malcolm?"
"I guess...depends on him and whether he'll stand up to Daddy" she shrugged.
"Well, if you hear anything new...here's my contact number. And here's that business card I promised as well...thank you Gillian"
The girl looked at the cards she was given and smiled broadly. Suzy walked away Good luck... she thought you're going to need it.

Suzy headed into town for some light relief and noticed that there were bright pink and psychedelic colours decking out the public squares. One look at the signs posted everywhere told her it was "Romance Festival" night. "Oh no!" she thought, remembering how dull it was last time. However, all was not a total loss...a familiar face was present.
"Bakko Jang...always where the party is!" she said, smiling at him.
"You know me, sis" he replied. "Gonna dance?" he asked.
"Maybe later...I'm hungry right now" she replied. Suzy headed over to a vendor for one of this week's special "romantic" dishes but they usually turned out to be regular meals but with more chili sauce on them.

Do you have a licence to wear that coat?
Looking around the festival, it was the same old bunch of middle aged men on the hunt and female fashion disasters as the divorcees attempted to look hip but failing. Still, the food was nice and after she'd finished she headed back to talk with Bakko.
"I'm doing a live spot later...it's open mic night at the bar and I've got me some new material" said Bakko, enthusiastically.
"I look forward to seeing it" said Suzy.
"Hey, it's either one of my fans...or one of yours...coming towards us" said Bakko, nodding in the direction behind Suzy. She turned around to see Nancy Landgraab approaching them.
"Bakko..." Nancy said "I'm very much looking forward to seeing your act later on. I'm so glad the money and time we invested in your career is starting to pay off"

Now there's a backstory that should be told
"Thank you, Mrs Landgraab...enjoy the show" replied Bakko.
"And Miss Kent, how lovely to see you again. I rely on your publication to inform me of the latest trends" she said, showing off her latest outfit. A bit racy for a woman of 40 but Nancy had the courage...and the looks...to just about pull it off.
"Pleated skirts are the height of fashion right now" replied Suzy. "Are you with your family tonight, by any chance?"
"Geoffrey's here. Malcolm was invited by he's with friends this evening" Nancy replied, haughtily.
"Yes, I hear he's quite the socialite" said Suzy. "He's been seeing this aspiring model I believe?" Suzy was trying to get a reaction from Nancy and she didn't have to wait long either.

This day is longer than I thought....it'll need a part 3 which will be along later.
