Just realized I never put up my starting info or updated or anything! So here are the first two weeks in the life of Ophelia Marshall and Felicia Upton (Marshall & Upton - new from CAS) - all pictures except the Sims themselves will be under the spoiler buttons to keep the post from being ridiculously long. This is Week 1, with Week 2 coming right after.
First up - Ophelia. Bodybuilder aspiration, Active, Foodie, Outgoing traits:

And her housemate - Felicia. Best-selling Author aspiration, Lazy, Glutton, Loner traits. She's pretty much the exact opposite of Ophelia and is going to add even more challenge to this challenge, since having her do anything strenuous (which is pretty much everything to a Lazy sim) will drive her into the 'too uncomfortable to do whatever it is I'm wanting her to do' range:

Next, the house - Stuck Together Stucco. I used the shared kitchen option, and included a vault for each of them, which meant the house was even more basic than it would've been otherwise. §22,000 goes by really quickly when §6000 is used up in vaults. :smiley:

WEEK 1:
First thing they did that sunny, spring morning was get jobs. Ophelia found a team in need of a waterperson, and Felicia answered a job posting looking for a writer's assistant. Since Felicia's job and aspiration both require writing, I decided that she needed to get moving on that during the first week. So she'd be the first one controlled. First up - before they ever made it into the house - a trip to the newly opened Oasis Springs Library (which used to be the Futures Past Museum) where Felicia could get started writing and Ophelia could start meeting people:

But that quickly changed:

While Felicia was dealing with how noisy and crowded the library had gotten, what was Ophelia up to? Getting started on her fitness journey, and making friends:

Then it was time to get to the gym. Ophelia talked with Marcus Allen, then found a trainer in Supriya Delgato (who apparently has given up on her desire to be a veternarian?):

Meanwhile, what was Felicia up to? Jogging, so she could watch tv. The jogging didn't last long though. At least there was still tv to watch:

The next couple of days passed much like this. Go to work, come home, go to library to write (drag Ophelia along so she can socialize and apparently search for a penpal online - I got the notice for that one evening), come home, eat dinner, send Felicia out to gather, then home to read until it was time for bed. Then things changed:
Wednesday night, while Felicia was out gathering, they had a visitor:

I wondered if Ophelia, who is outgoing, and was home and awake at that point, would answer the door. However, it appears she wasn't up for visitors that evening:

No joy, Vlad!

Then Lilith tried on Thursday night, after Felicia had returned from gathering:

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7842/46204352095_0e725932dc.jpg
No joy for her either!

Friday night, it was off to the Spice Festival!
Felicia ordered a bean burrito, and Ophelia chose the pho:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7866/40153473643_c81483cbac.jpg
They sat down to eat and chat:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7829/46394528364_95cd1a08c6_c.jpg
But then Marcus showed up, and Ophelia apparently decided he was much more interesting company, and took her pho and went to talk to him:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7838/46394527024_656b54a4d4.jpg
Which left Felicia alone in with a bunch of strangers. To curb her loner stranger issues, I sent her to harvest the plants. And there she met an interesting person by the name of Maximiliano Irwin. What makes him so interesting? The fact that he scanned her in mere moments after they met (unfortunately I missed capturing the scanning itself and got only the leaning backwards reaction that happens from being scanned), and she got the confident Xenophilia moodlet (from finding out a sim's alien status through socialization) and they continued to stand there and chat until it got late, and then parted with a hug:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7824/47065938972_871799446f.jpg
Saturday evening, Maximiliano called to ask Felicia if she wanted to go get something to eat - not a date - and I had Ophelia join them so she could satisfy her foodie tendencies eating the fancy food at Chez Llama:

Photos of food were taken and now reside on the kitchen wall:

Standings at the end of Week 1:
Household funds: §2313, which dropped to 1758 once I purchased a desk and chair for Felicia to put the Milton Word Processor on.
Promotions: Both of them moved up in their career - Ophelia made it to Locker Room Attendant, and Felicia to Blogger - so level 2 of their respective careers.
Aspirations: Nothing for Ophelia this week, but Felicia made it to milestone 2 of her main aspiration and has only one objective to complete before moving on to milestone 3. I also started her on the Curator aspiration, but kept forgetting to switch her over when she went out, so she got the first milestone completed and a little of milestone 2.
