I wanted to attempt to complete one challenge each month this year. We'll see how that goes. I missed January and got sick during Valentine's week which is when I wanted to start this challenge. Oh well. So, this month of love, I'm doing the challenge of "love??", The Bachelor. I've never played this challenge before.
I have all Eps, Gps, Sps, and got the Grouchy trait plus some CC traits. I will not use any of my CC traits. Every Sim must have one of the three Romance type traits: Romantic, Lovebug, Romantically Reserved. The Bachelor will have Romantic and Lovebug traits. I will decide the Bachelorettes romance trait by spinning a wheel online. (I have a mod that gives me 5 trait slots in CAS. My Bachelorettes will have 3 traits plus a Romance one, but my Bachelor will have 4 +1).
While creating the Bachelorettes, I changed my mind about using Unflirty as I don’t want to put anyone at a disadvantage right off the bat.
Also, I'll probably put more screenshots on my site's version than on here because I'm not sure what the max storage is here (and I've noticed sometimes the images hosted off-site don't show up). I'll try to keep it as essential as possible without taking away the fun. So, if you crave more screenies they'll be over there.
And I'll have links to previous and next episodes at the end of each post plus an episode list below. The longer threads get the harder it is to navigate (at least it is for me) and want to make this as easy as possible.
>!Immediately, Eric finds one of the bachelorettes ugly! Whaaaa??!!! Dude, we just started. I didn’t know you were so shallow. What am I saying? This is The Bachelor. Duh!
I’m dying to know who it is. Let’s take a looky-loo…
Oh no. He’s Very Unattracted to Morgan. He’s also Unattracted to Zuri and Scarlet. That’s nearly half the women! Aww, that makes me sad.
On the other hand, he’s Attracted to Kaley and Very Attracted to Valentina.
WHAAAAA?????!!!!!! I checked the women and NONE OF THEM are attracted to Eric. They are ALL Unattracted to him except Leah who is meh about him!!!
This is unacceptable. To CAS!!!!
So, I’m going into CAS and setting all the bachelorettes’ Characteristics Turn Ons to be Romance Enthusiast, High Energy, and Spirited. Hopefully, these changes will make the women more open to being attracted to Eric.
And I changed Eric to like every hair color the women have lol. He’s still unattracted to Morgan and Scarlet (I must side-eye Eric). But now he has Amazing Compatibility with all the women so, ok???
Now only Jasmine, Zuri, and Leah are Unattracted to Eric. That’s better than everyone, lol. Oh no, Morgan is Very Attracted to him. Gulp. Kaley is, too. The other woman are neutral. Sigh. Hopefully, things change as everyone gets to know each other.
I’ve hired a butler and maid. We’re going to order pizza, sit around the table, get to know each other. Unfortunately, only Eric, Morgan, and Scarlet sit at the dining table to eat. The other women gather in the kitchen. I forgot Jasmine is a vegetarian. Should of went with my gut and gotten cheese instead of tikka masala. She’s sick to her stomach. Eric and Scarlet have an awkward convo (I missed it, but Scarlet had the embarrassed moodlet and they were at the table together).
While everyone else goes to bed, Jasmine, Scarlet, Leah, and Morgan watch the sunrise in the jacuzzi. Later, Valentina joins them after Leah goes to bed. They’re probably discussing their first impressions of Eric.
After everyone else goes to bed, Val and Jas play ping pong in the basement. Jasmine wins 3-1!
The bedrooms work like this: Eric gets his own private room that’s locked for everyone but him. For the bachelorette there are two rooms. One with three beds and the other with four. I assigned them based on whoever lay on a bed first. So maybe you get a room with your bff; maybe your nemesis. It’s your random choice. Then there is a special bedroom that is locked for everyone until a later time. But more on that, well, later.
Here's the mansion that I used on the Gallery if anyone's interested.
QuinShay5This is funny. I've been developing a VERY different Bachelor... Michael Bachelor. In Sims 1 he was a young adult with a university degree and no job, and I'm working on his university degree while he lives with the BFF household.
There's a group vibe happening in the house this morning. I feel like it's a part one of the group date. In the morning, Kaley grills some tofu with glazed carrots. She’s also a vegetarian. (In my head cannon, Jasmine is a vegan; Kaley a pescatarian.) Jasmine can eat the same meal with everyone without vomiting.
Jasmine happily eats her breakfast while chatting up Eric. Eating food that you can digest and actually enjoy puts me in a good mood, too. The two seem to hit it off. I assume they're discussing 1,000 ways to eat carrots, or why isn't the color orange called the color carrot? Or debating the implications of the orange carrot's authoritarian regime when everyone knows the purple carrot is the one true king.
Eric thanks Kaley for cooking for everyone and they have a conversation. They joke around about dude bros. I guess Kaley went too far because Eric gets a negative moodlet and then leaves to bowl. Way to show her you're not a dude bro... go do sports stuff.
While he’s bowling, Leah comes down to watch him. Well, she’s watching something. I don’t think she’s paying much attention to the bowling part, but she is enjoying the show.
More come in to see what’s going on. No one joins the game. They just watch. From one corner. It's kinda creepy. (Someone tell the butler to lock the knives up... just to be on the safe side.)
Eric is finally paying attention to someone not named Kaley. Zuri is not giving any attention back. The bachelor's over there. Stop smiling at the cameraman! Wait... I'm the cameraman. Don't smile at me! Look away. Look away from your Maker!
Leah, is everything ok with you? Are you... sniffing Eric's farts?
Eric slips and slams onto his back. Welp. Leah’s over it. She likes guys who keep their balance. Besides, she can’t stare at his butt if he’s on it.
He limps toward Kaley who does not give a flying plumbob. These girls are cold-blooded. Their dating profiles say Winners Only.
Eric fires Jasmine up. He likes her healthy lifestyle. He asks for tips on eating more vegan dishes. She shares some of her favorite recipes. He's impressed with her culinary expertise. Or maybe he's impressed that she wears a bikini all day. Who knows.
Morgan and Eric are getting along well. She invites him to a morning workout sesh. Eric stays ready to pump some iron.
Then Kaley enters and he forgets Morgan exists, focusing all his attention on her. Hello! Still standing here! (Tell the butler to leave out one tiny hobbit knife. A little stabby stab might be justified ...and good for ratings.)
Sims spent over 24 hours around the mansion talking, playing games, being weird, and not killing each other (because the knives are locked up). It's noon and time to leave for the Group Date.
In Part 2, we'll go off-site to allow our bachelor and bachelorettes to get to know each other in a different environment. See you there!
It’s Day 2 and time for the Group Date. This is a great opportunity for the bachelorettes to get to know the bachelor in a casual, public atmosphere, and definitely not claw each others' eyes out to up our ratings. *fingers crossed* Kaley is the only bachelorette who's friends with Eric so the other girls have some catching up to do.
Eric wants to go swimming. It’s the last day of autumn, so I placed an indoor pool for them to visit. At noon, everyone travels to the pool. They're all ready for a good time.
Leah wears nothing but a towel. Girl, this is a public pool. No skinny dipping!!
I don't know if the Watcher has been following this show, obsessively posting on social media, and is not Team Leah. Or if one shouldn't go swimming while completely exhausted and starving.
...but Leah drowned.
There's the Grim reaping and everything. Take a beach bod selfie with Death, girlies! Don't forget to post "watching the competition literally die" to your stories on SimTok.
Anyway.
I left the game without saving and went back in because apparently I discriminate against occult sims. Jk. Seriously though, I'm not playing a ghost or any occults in this particular challenge. So, I had to reverse time and ensure Leah doesn't die. (By forcing her to take a nap and eat.)
Alternate Timeline
Eric and Morgan sit at the side of the pool and talk. It starts out pretty standard "if money wasn't a concern, what would you do with your life" type date stuff.
Then Morgan confides in him that she can't shake this feeling that she's been here before. She has this dreadful, fuzzy dream of someone dying in front of her in these very waters. Eric freaks out. He thinks he's recently felt the chilling fingers of death also, but he can't place--
Whoa! Whoa! Guys, what? That's craaazzyy! Nothing like that has ever happened. A death during production would be a public relations nightmare. Everyone would be talking about it. They're not so it didn't happen... Those SimTok videos are AI faked! Obviously, Leah is right here. You two need to lay off the bubble bar. Also, do not mention your "concerns" to anyone else. Ever. Sign this NDA!
Quick! I need a distraction.
Snow begins to fall. (It went a mild warm day to cold enough for snow? A little extreme, not helping my "nothing strange is happening here" argument, but gets the job done.) The confused contestants rush inside the cafe to get out of the sudden cold weather.
We’re making the best of the situation. Dancing. Having fun. Forgetting that there’s a heated indoor pool and hot springs here.
In the cozy cafe, Eric, Morgan, Valentina, and Jasmine sit at a table and talk while eating tapas and hummus. Kaley joins as they discuss mental health and the importance of self-care.
Scarlet and Zuri sit off to the side at a table by themselves. Neither attempts to talk with Eric all day. Hmm… I think I know who I’ll start with for one-on-one dates tomorrow.
The snow turns into a torrential thunderstorm. (Seriously?! Who's in charge of weather? It's probably some nepo baby. Fire them!) We’ll head home early. I don’t want anyone getting struck by lightning forcing me to manipulate time and minds again.
Plus, these guys are ruining the vibe with their dramatic freakouts. It’s a storm not the end of the world, people. And you’re inside, but keep running outside into the danger, screaming, and we have to leave right now because I’m gonna need the tiny hobbit knife if one more Sim–
Back at the mansion, the grill catches on fire. I don't know who started it. No one confesses, but there are three suspects. 👀
Everyone freaks out except Zuri who grabs a fire extinguisher and bravely puts the flames out. Honestly, she’s a bit too calm. Like this is a normal daily occurrence. How many fires have you extinguished, Zuri? And how many of them did you start?
As soon the flames are extinguished, the fire sprinklers turn on. Oh c’mon! The irony isn’t lost on a now soaking wet Zuri.
I let her have a relaxing mud bath as a thank you for saving the expensive mansion we're renting... I mean lives, for saving lives.
While she's relaxing, everyone else is outside screaming. Leah is having a bit of an existential crisis as this terrifying "near death" experience has unlocked a buried memory where she died.
While we bring out our on-set psychologist to convince her that's a lie and she's crazy, er, to help her through this difficult trauma, we'll end our day. Next episode our bachelorettes will be going on their first one-on-one dates with the bachelor. See you there!
Let’s see where the relationships stand in anticipation of today’s solo date.
Eric and Morgan are now friends. Their sentiments are that "they are growing closer from spending quality time together". Jasmine and Eric have also become friends. Eric and Kaley have become good friends. And they’ve started a romance relationship on their own! They are romantic interests: it’s too early to tell, but there could definitely be something there. Ooo lala
Finally, getting some action happening. But that’s not the focus of today. Today are our first one-on-one (solo) dates.
Each bachelorette will go on a “Get to Know You” date with our bachelor. Dates run about 3 hours in game. Each date will be at a park -- a neutral, public space. We’ll start the first date at 8am and get through as many as we can by midnight. There will only be time for four dates which is perfect considering 3 bachelorettes are friends of the bachelor’s and the other 4 are not.
Each date will have the same goals: Socialize - Friendly, Socialize - Funny, Food or Drink, Star or Cloud Gazing
The dates will go in the following order (from lowest to highest): Scarlet, Zuri, Leah, Valentina, Morgan, Jasmine, Kaley
These dates won’t have any romance directed at anyone through me. They're friendly and all about seeing who clicks with Eric, who really wants to be here, and who isn’t feeling it. Any romantic actions that happen autonomously are fine. This is each bachelorette’s chance to show Eric that she’s worth keeping around because tomorrow is Elimination Day.
Date #1
Bachelorette: Scarlet
Location: Duke’s Hall, Chestnut Ridge
Crap! I’ve already run into a problem. Scarlet can’t go on an official date with Eric because they don’t have a high enough positive relationship. All I can do is have them travel together. But I’ll keep the directed actions to the above goals.
Eric takes Scarlet to Duke’s Hall park in Chestnut Ridge because she love horses. The plan is to get breakfast and pet horses. Hopefully being in an environment she enjoys will open her up. Gulp. Eric’s checking his phone and Scarlet is hangry. This isn’t getting off to a good start.
Scarlet: FEED ME!!!
I get it, girl. There’s a food stall and bar, but neither are open this early. Sadly, there aren’t any horses either. Eric tries to make conversation, but Scarlet pulls her phone out in a reverse uno. *facepalm* Well, I guess it’s good television.
Scarlet seems interested in talking about video games. She gets really into telling Eric about her dream vacation. Eric shares his. Scarlet thinks climbing Mt. Komorebi is frightening, not fun. After he finishes, they fall into silence.
Welp. This screenshot sums up this date.
Eric asks how her day’s going. Kind of a dumb question, considering that last screenshot.
Eric: Sooo… How’s your day going?
Scarlet: How do you think? There’s no food and no horses.
Eric: Let’s look at the bright side.
Scarlet: I haven’t cannibalized you, yet?
Eric: … um, yeah?
For some reason, I couldn’t get the option to cloud gaze to come up. The mixologist finally came, but the date had already gone on for over 4 hours so I ended it. We can't spend all day on them; we've got several dates to get to.
Date #2
Bachelorette: Zuri
Location: Myshuno Meadows, San Myshuno
For date #2, Eric and Zuri are going to Myshuno Meadows park in San Myshuno. Zuri is a city girl so she’ll feel more comfortable in an urban environment. First thing Eric asks her how she’d survive a zombie apocalypse. She thinks it’s a weird question.
… But not that weird because, unlike Scarlet, she keeps the conversation going.
Zuri: I’m not surviving; I’m out as soon as it begins. All I ask is that I not become a zombie.
Eric: I’m finding a supermarket I can fortify. All the food and resources I need to live for years are there.
Zuri: You and every other person within the area. You don’t have to worry about zombies because the humans will get you first.
Eric: Good point. You’ve given this some thought. I'd be stupid not to have you on my zombie survival team.
The two develop a mischief dynamic between them and scare each other over and over again. (Honestly, it’s a little annoying.) Oh no!! “Zuri has left the date after receiving too many mean or mischievous interactions from Eric.” sigh
We’re taking Leah to Mt. Komorebi because she’s a creative type who’d be inspired by the area’s natural beauty.
Eric asks her what causes she cares about. Leah loves this question. (Opps! I didn’t pay attention to the heart in front of the question. I just thought it was an interesting question. It’s a romantic interaction. Sorry. I will not click on any more romantic interactions at all.)
Kaley calls Eric during his date. Girl, tryin’ to keep things in check! Reminding him where his mind should be. Hint: on her.
Leah and Eric hug. And they hug again. Again. Again…
THEY KISSED WHAT THE– *faints* I swear I didn’t make them do anything. They were just having small talk and I looked away for a moment.
Ok, Miss Leah is not here to make friends, y’all. She said I’m here to win. You better play the game! Things are getting steamy and out of control. I need to pull the reins. Discuss interests! This is not discussing interests! What kind of interests are you discussing? It better not have anything to do with positions!
They are the first I’ve gotten to eat together and star gaze. That date went well… too well. Nothing I can do about it now. Leah secured her spot.
Date #4
Bachelorette: Valentina
Location: Hare and Hedgehog Cafe, Windenburg
We have time for one last date today. Valentina still has a low relationship so she is up next. (Geez, the way these things have been getting progressively better, she’s gonna be pregnant by the end of the night.) Anyhoo, it’s 11pm. Much too late to hang out at a park. Instead, Eric and Valentina go to Hare and Hedgehog Cafe in Windenburg.
Their date is pretty chill. No drama in either direction. They stargaze right before it starts to snow. Both are sleepy, but they have good conversation. Honestly, they are just cute and sweet together.
They get the most hyped while debating the existence of vampires. It's nice to end on a chill, drama-free, no surprises, just a good time date.
They actually get a silver medal date which is the highest of the day! I’m happy that we got through four dates. The last three don’t need a date to get to know Eric because they already have gotten to know him. But they will be the first on the next one-on-ones.
Alright, that's where we end tonight. Next episode we'll say goodbye to one unlucky bachelorette. See you there!
Jasmine and Morgan discuss who they think is going to be sent home while playing chess. Neither of them got to go on a date with Eric. Does that mean they’re in danger of being eliminated? They were making headway with him, but the other women could have gotten him to be more into them while on their dates.
Morgan: I love Scarlet, but I don’t think she wants to be here. She complained about the date she went on with Eric. If he picked up on her negative vibes, she might be the one leaving.
Jasmine: Better her than us.
Morgan: I know that’s right.
****************
Meanwhile, in an upstairs bathroom:
Scarlet: I was rude the whole time. I was just so hungry. He told me we’d get breakfast together. I would have grabbed a snack before anyway, but we had to leave so fast.
Zuri: It’s one thing to be rude. I ended the date early! Am I crazy?
Scarlet: What happened?
Zuri: We were talking about zombies and we started scaring each other. Just dumb stuff, right? And I don’t know, he kept going when it wasn’t funny or cute anymore. I got irritated and told him I’m leaving. Sometimes, I just do stuff in the moment. I’m definitely going home! I don’t want to be the first one eliminated!
Scarlet: Hey, it’s gonna be ok. The date was good otherwise, right?
Zuri: *sniffle* Yeah, but that’s what he’s going to remember.
Scarlet: You don’t know that. At least there were good moments he can recall. Nothing was good about our date. I signed up for this and I feel like I didn’t give him a chance. I’m the one who’ll be gone.
Zuri: No, it’ll be me.
Scarlet: No matter what happens, we were unapologetically ourselves. No act like some people here. We’re honest. That’s just how we are. I’m here for you.
Zuri: Same!
(Scarlet and Zuri became good friends after this conversation.)
**************
Later:
Morgan: No one’s even talked to Val yet. Who knows, she might have completely bombed. It could be a disaster.
Scarlet: I doubt it, but... yeah, maybe.
Morgan: Anything can happen, girl. It's not over 'til it's over.
******************
Rose Ceremony
The bachelorettes line up with Eric standing before them. Next to him is a bouquet of roses. He’ll pick six roses to hand out. The contestant who doesn’t receive a flower is immediately eliminated. She must leave the mansion in a waiting limo. Her belongings will be brought to her later.
Eric inhales deeply. He begins handing out roses. The first goes to the woman with the highest relationship with him.
He holds out a single rose and says,
"Leah."
She squees and takes her rose.
Next are:
Valentina.
Kaley.
Morgan.
Jasmine.
That’s five. There’s one rose left. And two bachelorettes: Scarlet and Zuri…
They squeeze each other's hand as they hold their breaths waiting to hear the name Eric says. It feels like forever (and as the producers are milking the anticipation for all it’s worth, in a way it is taking forever).
Finally, Eric holds out the last rose.
He says,
“Zuri.”
Shock and relief swirl through Zuri as she takes the rose. Scarlet sadly accepts what she knew and feared. The other women hug her and say their goodbyes (as does Eric) before she leaves the mansion.
Post-Elimination Interviews
Scarlet: I hate being the first one eliminated. Maybe I could have tried harder, but I don’t want anything that’s forced or faked. This is probably for the best, but I wish I could be there for Zuri and Morgan.
Eric: I am looking for my soul mate here. It’s very important to me that we are friends, first and foremost. Scarlet and I just couldn’t seem to click. She’s the only person in the house I’m not friends with. Without that foundation, there wasn’t a point in keeping her around.”
Ultimately, the decision came down to the fact that Eric is friends with all the women except Scarlet. Sorry, girl! Love you. Things are gonna get poppin' in the next episode where Eric hosts a house party. See you there! (I did add a few more screenshots that I liked, but didn't feel were necessary onto my site so if you want more screenies check out the episode here)
I was hoping for a little drama during the party, but yikes! Not what I was expecting 😬 (though I probably should have). Let’s start at the beginning.
The day starts with Eric doing his daily workout. This time, Kaley joins him in the gym.
We have to throw a house party. I wanted there to be other people here, but quickly realized that Eric has no friends or acquaintances. So, I had him go out and meet people so we’d have a full house.
The party was set to start at 8pm. Let’s gooo! We have DJ and bar with mixologist set up in the living room. The music is bumpin’, the drinks flowin’...
So why is everyone in the kitchen???? They are drawn to this kitchen stereo like night bugs to the light. (And why was I too dumb to just get rid of the stereo so they’d have no choice but to gather ‘round the DJ booth?)
Eric talks to Val.
He hands her a rose. Val is shocked and flattered.
Val: Does this mean I don’t have to worry in the next elimination?
Eric laughs.
Eric: Well, no, but it’s pretty like your hair.
While Eric and Val are flirting, Leah watches them, glaring. She stares at Val and her hands curl like she’s ready to choke her out. Yes! Let's get the drama going.
But instead of going for the rival bachelorette
Leah walks over and
SLAPS ERIC!!!
She slapped the bachelor, y’all! I need to show you this 3x like a k-drama.
1
2
3
Leah walks away like she didn't just slap the plumbob off Eric.
She goes into the living room and stands in front of the DJ booth, still trembling with a mix of anger, hurt, and shock. Zuri is already watching the DJ. She notices Leah looks off and asks her what's wrong. Leah tries to play it off like everything is fine and dandy.
Zuri shrugs, says the music sucks, and walks away. Leah follows her and stops her in the dining room realizing that if she enters the kitchen there are plenty of witnesses to what happened. She wants her to hear her side first.
Leah tells Zuri what went down.
Leah: I thought he was my soulmate. How could he give another woman a rose when it's not even the ceremony?
Zuri: I get that was hard to watch, but this is a competition.
Leah: But I love him. I want to be with Eric forever.
Zuri: Ok, but he doesn't feel that way about you, yet. You’ve got to show him why he should love you. Slapping him for showing interest in someone else isn't going to do that.
Leah: What if he hates me? What should I do?
Zuri: Talk to him. Maybe he’ll understand.
Leah: I can do that. Thanks, Zuri.
Leah and Zuri hug.
*************************
They don't notice they're being watched.
Val takes Morgan aside.
Val: She slapped him!
Morgan: Shut. Up!
Val: Pop, pop, pop, pop! Like a cartoon.
Morgan: Oh my plumbob!
Val: And now she’s over there crying and acting like a victim.
Morgan: What’s wrong with her? That’s wild.
Val: He picked her first at the rose ceremony. So what? They’re not married, not in a relationship, yet she’s acting like he belongs to her alone?
Morgan: If she can’t handle the heat, get out of the competition.
Val: Exactly. She’s gonna try to smooth things over with Eric. I think we should get to him first.
***********************
Meanwhile, Kaley was in the basement bowling while the caterer kept going downstairs to talk with her instead of cooking. Jasmine stayed in the jacuzzi the entire time only coming out once. We got a gold medal party anyway!
(I called these solo dates, but they’re actually speed dating in the rules. There’s another round called solo dates. Opps.) For the second round of speed dates, we’ll go from the top to the bottom prioritizing anyone who hasn’t gone on a one-on-one date.
Currently, the relationship order is (taking both friendship & romantic levels together): Kaley, Morgan, Valentina, Jasmine, Zuri, Leah. Taking out those who were in the last round of dates, we're left with Kaley, Morgan, and Jasmine.
Today is Winterfest and we start off with some festive celebrations because I don't want everyone annoying me with sad moodlets over not having an amazing holiday. So, they sing together, light up the tree, and exchange gifts. Blah, blah, blah... Let's get on with it!
1st Date: Kaley
Location: Romantic Lounge (by ), Ciudad Enamorada
As they walk up to the lounge, Eric slips on the ice landing hard on his behind. Between giggles, Kaley asks if he’s ok. He is and joins the laughter.
The lounge is cozy and romantic. There's even live music with a violinist and pianist. They order the mushroom steak. Kaley tries and fails to hide her amusement as Eric takes a big bite. She told him it tastes just like beef steak.
It does not.
Eric: It doesn’t taste just like regular steak.
Kaley laughs.
Eric: But it’s good in its own way.
After dinner and wine, the two go upstairs to talk. And flirt. And stare into each other's eyes for disturbingly long amounts of time.
They end the night with a passionate kiss.
It's a Gold Medal date!! That's what I'm talkin' about!
*******************
2nd Date: Morgan
Location: Orchid La Go Go Lounge, Del Sol Valley
Outside the lounge, Morgan and Eric waste no time getting flirty and physical. Morgan goes in for the kill and lands a big one. Eric is surprised but he's not complaining.
Eventually, they pry themselves apart and head inside. Their conversation is a mixture of flirting, swapping stories, and joking around. They laugh together the most out of the three dates today, and keep up the romance throughout their time together.
Eric watches her waddle to the bathroom. He’s a boo-tee man.
They order the Hot and Smoky cocktails (because things are fire between them *wink*).
Their date ended with another gold medal!
****************
3rd Date: Jasmine
Location: The Screaming Gecko Lounge, Tomarang
Jasmine was very hungry before the date started and we feared/hoped a Scarlet sequel. But Jasmine got a sandwich as soon as she walked into the lounge and after scarfing down a PB&J had that "I'm satisfied" high that one has after filling an empty belly.
(Disclaimer: I did not condone her eating a peanut butter & jelly sandwich on this date to Tomarang when there was delicious South Asian food to be had, but Jasmine had pulled it out of a fridge and was halfway done before I realized what was happening. Sims. Can't take them anywhere.)
She happily chatted Eric up, laughing and flirting. The two move to the bar and order sugar juice.
Then things got serious. I don't what was said, but her face says either, childhood trauma or I can’t believe the series I’m streaming ended that way.
They both head upstairs for a potty break. Then start making out.
They slow dance. It's super cute, except...
They're next to the toilet! The toilet! Where people poop! Strangers poop!!!!
Like, I get wanting some privacy, but eww. A public toilet? Really?!?! 😧
After getting hot, heavy, and romantic in the poo room, the two sit on a sofa in the hall like normal people to talk some more. (Probably about how they'll always associate the stringent scent of urine with their first kiss.)
These two like to discuss heavy, personal stories. More "why my life sucked after wasting it on that dumb Simsflix series" stuff... or childhood trauma. I dunno, same difference. It's good that they feel comfortable enough with each other to be vulnerable and open up.
