Finding Love Interests

It depends on my mood -- sometimes I'll create the couple right off the bat and make them married in CAS. That way they can get started on the family quickly. My current family though started out with my Sim, Tiffany Leavitt, as a teen; she was living with her older sister in Brindleton Bay. (I'd made her older sister, Cassidy, with the tutorial to test it out, then created Tiffany to test some features to see if teens could do them; liked the pair so much I saved them to my Library to play in other saves.) Tiffany, an aspiring painter, went off to UBrite to major in Fine Arts; while there, she met Kolby McGowan, a Drama major living in her dorm, and the pair hit it off quite well. After Tiffany graduated, the two of them moved to an apartment in San Myshuno, where Tiffany began her painting career and Kolby started doing auditions for soap commercials and the like. When Kolby started getting better roles and Tiffany had some big painting sales (thanks Plopsy!) the pair moved to Willow Creek, Kolby getting fed up with their noisy neighbors. They're now married, with two sons (Carson, named for Johnny Carson, and Sean, named for Sean Connery); Tiffany got a job offer she couldn't turn down and is now a writer, Kolby is a Silver Screen Icon but only a B-lister in celebrity status so he's got some work to do.
