Gen 1 - Chapter 1
Xolani moves into the Sapphire Shores lot in Sulani. Unless something goes really wonky, I plan on them staying on the same lot for the whole challenge. Mermaids are the only occult I have available in my game, so that's what we're going for. Xo immediately starts perusing her phone, completely unconcerned that this is an empty lot.

She gets a micro house built with the little money she has left after buying the lot. The lot comes with the Oceanic Paradise trait, and I added Homey and Science Lair. I also added the Off-the-Grid challenge to start out, since she is mostly broke after building the house.

Xo immediately gets a job in the Culinary field, since her aspiration is to be a Master Mixologist.

Which reminds me that she needs a bar for her aspiration, so we plunk one down outside. (She already has stools inside.)

Xo must realize now how poor she is, because she decides to hunt for seashells on the beach.

A bit later, the Island Welcome Wagon shows up with some kava, so Xolani goes to greet them.

She is good friends with all the ladies by them time they leave thanks to the micro house bonus, despite the fact that it's super dark in the house and there's not much seating. Thank goodness they weren't too judgy ;) Why is the house so dark, you ask? Well, Xo's awesome builder (that's me) always forgets about off-the-grid lighting and puts regular lights in until she sees the darkness in a house. :D

The next day, Xo discovers that there's an easel just up the path from her house! So, she tries to make a bit of money painting before work begins.

Then, she wanders off to head to work, staring at her phone the whole way. The phone thing is driving me a little nutty. She just won't stop looking at it.

The next day is a day off, so it's time to go meet some folks. Xo does have 6 pregnancies to get through. She heads over to the bar.

An evil girl yelled at her for no reason, which made Xo very angry! She was no good at talking to anyone after that. So, I sent her off to do some fishing at the beach until she calms down. Obviously, I forgot that's a bad idea for her... Not a very productive day off.

The next day, things are looking up. Xo runs up to the easel and paints a masterpiece! That's going on Plopsy immediately!

She invites Paka'a over to hang out, since he is the only unattached YA that she met yesterday, and he becomes her boyfriend!

Xo heads off to the public beach to bum their wifi to buy a lottery ticket. She seems convinced that her money troubles are over now.

Then, she goes back home and invites Paka'a over again for a big surprise!

They immediately elope, because this is a thing that you can do in TS4. (Have I mentioned she needs to have 6 kids?)

And, they are so happy that goofball Paka'a has to go to sleep as soon as he moves in to save himself from his hysteria.
