Help me pick a new bae for my sim?

So... this is Luna Fontainbleau:

She's the daughter of Paulo Roca and my Celebrity Actress sim Audrey Fontainebleau. She's a teen who aspires to use her daily shenanigans to become a Chief of Mischief, but inside, she's a gloomy and goodhearted person. Although she doesn't like being in the spotlight as much as her mom, she's a YouTube queen who livestreams her videogaming prowess and spends her time programming viruses to send out into the world. She can't wait to go to university to hang with her group of friends and start her education for her future career as a programmer. She's a late bloomer, so she hasn't had her first crush yet, but I was wondering if you guys could help me pick from three guys in her friend group to get a little closer to in her University years. Here are the possible suitors :smile:

First up is Ricardo, who Luna calls "Car" for short:

He's a goofy, fun-loving guy who spends his free-time DJ-ing and making rap mixtapes. His longer-term career goal is to be a Master Chef like his dad, though. His personality traits are "outgoing" and "bookworm." Ricardo and Luna go way back to when they used to share gummies in elementary school and go over to each other's houses to play MySimsRacing. The best part of those afternoons was when Ricardo's mom cooked up her neighborhood-famous empanadas just for them. Their fondest memory together was when they recently stayed up all night at the disco partying like there's no tomorrow.

Next up is Simon, who Luna calls "Si" for short:

This guy here is Luna's best friend. They've had that relationship even before her mom got famous. Actually, they've been that way before her dad died of hunger and her mom remarried a celebrity and got famous. He was there when she lived in a ramshackle apartment rather than a mansion, and was there to console her when her dad died. He's a super nerd who doesn't know what he wants to do with his life just yet, except he thinks he might want to do what Ricardo wants to do, since he's a sucker for good food. As to his personality traits, they're "cheerful" and "good." His favorite pastimes are debating which Star Trek episodes are best, and his favorite time of the year is when he finally gets to convince Luna to go to Geekcon! However, on top of Luna being a late bloomer, there's still the reluctance that comes with transforming a good friendship into a best-friend-romance cliche...

And, finally, Tommy, Simon's twin:

It stops at appearances though, folks. Where Simon is good, Tommy aspires to be a Public Enemy. Where Simon spends his lazy Saturdays as a couch potato watching Dr. Who re-runs, Tommy wakes up early to hit the Gym to keep his body ripped. Where Simon is humbly nerdy, Tommy is a bit of a snob. Luna knew Tommy when she was younger, since there's no hiding a twin. He was still the "cool" kid and the football quarterback then, but he was a little kinder too. Now, when they happen to bump in in the hall, he just teases her. He once even tricked her with a handbuzzer. Lately, Luna doesn't know what to make of Tommy. He's been elusive and mysterious, shy but boldly pranking. She's flipped it around, recently, by making the pranking a competition through channeling her Chief of Mischief aspiration skills. The winner: the games have just started.

  • I'll go for Ricardo. Simon is nice but if they're best friends then perhaps it should stay that way. At least for now. He's good second option, though.

    As for Ricardo - he and Luna both know what they want, so I can see them pursuing their dreams together. Besides - who doesn't like well made meal? :)
  • @ArcherDK That's a great way of looking at it! ? Something interesting just happened for the first time, and it's almost like the game knew about the poll or something, because Luna invited Ricardo over two days in a row. I didn't pay much attention to it on the first day (I was focusing on her brother at the time), but when I tuned in the second day, they were both flirty. I looked at the moodlet on Luna and it said someone gave her a compliment at school. Does that mean it was Ricardo? ?
    (Btw: I decided not to interfere, and no one made any moves or anything. yet.)
  • @Coffeecrumblecake Perhaps the game senses your intentions and agrees with you :)

    A compliment at school? Never saw this moodlet. But yeah -it very much could be Ricardo :)
    I mean - why not?

    @crocobaura That's a keen observation ? Yup, they're both pranksters. Luna was even going to study criminology at Uni like Tommy, but she's decided to keep mischief as more of a hobby alongside her programming. It's also true that maybe the extra distance that's been between them so far will ensure that any flirting starts a genuinely fresh relationship. It's just been such a tough choice, because she invites the other two guys over after school more often, and she's had more memories with them. Ughhh sim people problems ??


    Of course she invites the other two over more often because they are friends. If she goes with Tommy she will need to find time for both Tommy and her friends. Maybe her friends won't like this and will be jealous or feel neglected.
  • @crocobaura Just as in real life, huh? The ones we end up with often are out of our friend groups, and it is always important to find balance between work/sleep/socializing and taking the time to catch up with everyone ?. I'm going to test the waters with how things are doing with Tommy and everyone soon by having Luna host a house party for everyone in her high school. That way, it makes sense that Tommy shows up too, since he would have to drop Simon off (Poor Si can't seem to pass his driver's test ??) and decide to stay for something to drink.
  • I definitely think she should start with bad boy Tommy. Where they are a bad influence on each other, slack off on uni work, prank dormmates, cheat their exams, etc. Then start a criminal empire together. With a dramatic ending where he either dies or has to go to prison, or slightly less dramatic, he gets kicked out of uni (in that scenario their relationshipwould end during uni).
    Then the other two boys (or by then, men) both put in effort to help her pick up the pieces - who she'll end up with would depend on how the story develops.
  • Oh. My. God. @MDianaSims that seems so surreal and so realistic all in one! Does what I just said even make sense?? Hahaha. ?Like on one hand, the grand finale prison plot was totally unexpected, but on the other, come on, we are dealing with Tommy here! (I actually was inspired by his name from Twain's Tom Sawyer, who is a little trouble seeker himself). Wow that actually sounds like it would be a blockbuster hit if it were a movie. I'll definitely keep that in mind. Like I was just about to go to sleep now, and boom! you're post made me crack up. Thank you for that ?
  • I picked Ricardo, he and Luna would just be like super cute together. Plus, I think their personalities would mesh well together. They have both similarities AND differences, which I always think makes for a great (and successful) relationship.
  • @LunarChanel It is true that similarities keeps things together and differences keep things interesting ?
