Isn't it weird that Summer Holiday AND Travis Scott are always single?

This thread is gold, pure gold. Love especially the Liberty/Travis nudey story. :joy: :joy:

I guess everyone knows that I watch a few Let's Plays here and there, and the first time I really noticed Summer Holiday, was in James' The Sim Supply Rags To Riches Challenge. His Sim was Duke Silver, a guitar playing, park eating, Gym showering, bench sleeping kinda guy. I'm sure you can relate. Anyway, as soon as he got the semblance of a house, with a very new door, Summer was knocking at it. She was On The Case, and would come over two, three times a day. If anyone is familiar with James' play style, you know that he loves to grind those goals. So it was necessary that Summer be very persistent to make any sort of impression on Duke. Duke in the meantime, had discovered painting, and was going at it like there was no Tomorrow.

Summer would sit and talk to him for hours when he was painting, and multitasking was new to James then, so he was fascinated by the fact they could do this, and let her. Aside from this, tho she had a hard time distracting him. But she kept coming over, day after day. Finally they had pretty full bars, and it was almost all from her autonomy.

James had the idea that she should move in, just to support Duke with meals, etc, while he was painting. She got a job, in the Writing Career. But they would still converse lengthily while they were both painting and writing. Somehow their first romantic interaction happened, and then, we were Off To The Races. Then James had them Woohoo just to get Duke's Fun and Social up together. Summer was in.

There was a brief time period when Dina Caliente flirted with Duke, but it was short-lived. Summer was merciless and drove Dina away, even fighting her in the street outside the house. Duke was inside, oblivious to it all. The Let's Play culminated with Duke reaching his goal of 100,000 Simoleons, having a mansion, and marrying Summer. The ceremony took place in the Willow Creek Park, right near where Duke used to wait around for folks to cook, just to he could eat. The wedding got a Gold Medal.

Moral of the story: Summer will know what she wants when she sees it.....in this game, it was self made Sim Duke Silver. In the next, who knows?

Travis? I'm not sure where he was during all this. :smirk:

How do you know he's gay? Don't make assumptions?

You're literally on a post about how a male character should be making a movie on a female character (which assumes he's straight) just because she's considered "attractive"... so, by your logic, why are we all assuming he has to be straight?

"Maybe if they are in a romantic room (emotional aura on) they might flirt? I don't know, try that."

Again, why are you assuming he needs to be straight and with a female?

Probably because he spends most of his time on a computer and dresses like a grandpa. Maybe Summer is one of those girls that looks for bad boys.

I did play the household once but just kept them as roomies. Mostly their jobs were too intensive for any social activity to go on. Well, Summer's job is not very intense but Liberty and Travis have jobs that require a lot of time investment.

I loved reading everyone's ideas for The BFF household.

I never pair any of them up, like some I think its unfair to one or the other who win Travis.
However, I've paired him up with many sims I've made or other premade sims, because Travis is a great all around good Sim, with some really good genetics.

Now that you think on it, I should revisit their home and play with Summer or Liberty, I never have!

Why don't you do a good deed as a neighbour, level up the Science career and clone Travis ? Everyone wins.

The mind now boggles:
If there are two of Travis and both are gay, will they fall in love with each other?

You just don't get this with Skyrim.

In a modded Skyrim anything is possible. ;)

Maybe I’m weird, but I always have Travis and Liberty get together in my game. They have more compatible traits than he and Summer do in my opinion. I always envisioned that household as Travis crushing on Summer, while Liberty crushes on him, and when Summer gets herself a serious boyfriend, Travis has an epiphany about Liberty and how well the mesh together. They always end up being a really happy couple in my game, having stinking cute kids, and being very supportive of each other’s careers.

I guess I always assumed Summer would get really bored and annoyed with a partner who has to spend so much time in front of a computer in order to advance in their career, she being an active sim who is always wanting to hit the gym and make new friends.

I tend to have summer marry Mitchell Kalani, and they end up being such a cute and happy pair. He makes her laugh, and she inspires him to get in better shape. They bring out the best in each other, I think.

Same here!

They always end up married in my game. One married my first generation (Travis...And promptly died of hysteria on the sidewalk just after the wedding...) Then Summer married my 2nd generation daughter (I play with aging off for the neighborhood and only aging on for the active household).

Then in another save, Travis married Don Lothario and Summer married Johnny Zest.

Sometimes he's gay in my game as well. MC command center has a bit of a habit of creating more gay couples than straight ones and sometimes Travis just so happens to be in one. Sometimes my sim also gets him before Summer :lol: But most of the time he just stays single for some reason. Maybe he's just not into her after all?

Hehe, my opinion...they're just too alike in looks for me. Both are blonde and blue eyed (I don't have a problem with that as its my coloring as well) but it just means they'd have blonde blue eyed babies who'd have more blonde blue eyed babies...I prefer diversity so I'd never let them marry each other even if they wanted to! By the way, anyone who's not too worried about non traditional families...Travis Scott and Don Lothario make gorgeous babies together!

No, no, no, no, no. A lot of you have it backwards.

Travis is not the Sim who is gay. The game itself describes the situation as a triangle and it is much more like the Summerdream/Capp triangle in TS2. Travis wants Summer, Summer wants Liberty, and Liberty wants Travis.

Travis is an ENTJ if you know MBTI types. ENTJs are little nerdy and weird (I'm one myself) and very focused on our careers (think of people like Carl Sagan, Bill Gates, and Nancy Pelosi). Career trumps flirting with potential partners, although flirting is fun, too. Ideal matches for Travis would be an aged up Cassandra Goth or even Zoe Patel, but he'll end up with Liberty if you are passive about it.

Summer is an ENFJ. ENFJs are bubbly and easy to make friends with and much more flirty, although the targets of their affection don't always have mutual feelings. The only one she's ever ended up with in my game was Ulrike Faust (Summer aggressively and autonomously pursued her at the Romance Festival), which can be a problem, because Ulrike is really supposed to be with other characters.

Both ENTJs and ENFJs have a blind spot about when we make people around us uncomfortable, like talking about science stuff on a date or inviting 35 different people on a group outing when they don't know each other.

Liberty is an ISTP. ISTPs are interested in things like rocket science and nerdy TV shows, but not big with social skills. There is a strong link in real life with Asperger's. She could be a good match for Travis, but she might be a better match with Paolo from Partihaus or anyone with the Bro trait.

For science, I created a brand new neighborhood and moved Summer Holiday into that apartment next door to the Rasoyas (that really obnoxious Sikh and his mother). She has already rolled a Want to fight with him. She made very fast friends with Miko from The Karaoke Legends household, and this happened:

Always check your presumptions before jumping to a conclusion about someone.

Let's be honest, those two are made for each other.

They may as well be made of wood. How can any guy LIVE WITH Summer Holiday and not make a move?

This guy has more opportunity than any other Sim in the known and unknown Simming universe.

This really hurts the game - it really hurts it.

Maybe he's gay and not interested? ETA: Summer is not all that anyway. That is one Sim I try to get rid of if she shows up anywhere...look at her top...so sixish for a 2018 game, she needs a fashion lesson.
