I've an idea I could use help with, a woman manipulating three guys.

Not sure how it even came to mind, but I got this idea of a femme fatale who has three guys wrapped around her finger. 

I was thinking about giving her the collector aspiration, and all three men could be involved in very different jobs and hobbies that would cause them to bring back different things to add to her collection. 

She'll also need plenty of money for a nice mansion too, so possibly one of the guys could be more of a work horse to make lots of money than helping with the collection. 

Wasn't thinking about giving any of them active careers since it's about her. She won't have a job, but might go on vacation with the money they make to look for more stuff to add to her collection. Might take one of the guys along to the jungle or other places where she could use someone to do the heavy work for her and do the dangerous things. 

It's a pity relationships can't be one sided like in previous games, since I'd kind of want her to not really be into them, just romancing them to get what she wants. Leading them on. 

I'm not sure what traits might be best for her, other than self absorbed. 

I'm also considering what the best jobs and traits might be for the three guys. I imagine astronaut would be good for one, since they can pick up all kinds of stuff in space. Heck once the rocket is build she might just take it to explore space after he did all the hard work. 

I kind of want to give each guy their own angle too. Like one will just be this gullible good guy who is way too easy to manipulate. Not sure yet about the other two.

  • I've made the household and have played them a bit so far. 

    She did end up with self absorbed, materialistic and commitment issues. 

    One guy is a geek, genius and lactose intolerant. Very much looks like the awkward boring nerd, he's the guy she exploits for his smarts. Currently has a tech job but he dreams big, wants to be an engineer later, when there's funds and a place at home to work on robotics. 

    Another is a gullible good guy. Idealist, generous and heart on his sleeve. Guy wants a family and probably believes whatever lies she tells him without question. She exploits him for being a care taker. He does most of the cooking, gardening and such. And also works as a salary person to further show what a doormat he is. He looks like an average clean cut guy. 

    And the third guy is adventurous, ambitious and a perfectionist. He's hot and all muscular, feels pretty confident she'll pick him over the other two. Has no idea she has no intention to picking any one of them. He went in the army and is her main money maker, also eye candy. The one she'd be most likely to sleep with.

    He's received several promotions already so has been the only one to be flirted with so far, though the other two did get a compliment for their one promotion so far. 

    It's quite fun to play, she has her own bedroom with a decent double bed and some furniture, the guys share a bedroom with the cheapest beds. And anything she benefits from or has the want to spend money on, is the priority to buy first. In everything she's the first priority. One meal serving left? That's for her. More than one sim needs to use the toilet or shower? she goes first. 

    She does not work either, she does go around collecting stuff in the region. And practising her magic when all the men are out of the house. I play her magic as a secret they don't know about. Gives her a way to fix broken things and clean too when they aren't around, since she's not going to ever do that by hand. she has three men for that. 

     

     

  • Don't forget the Serial Romantic aspiration so she can get the Player trait where no one will get jealous. Just for ease of gameplay

  • Maybe you've made them already, but I wanted to weigh in! She should definitely have the materialistic trait as well, right?

    A "type of guy" might be the heroic sort who thinks this is a situation he can win. Active, Romantic, Ambitious?

    & of course one of the guys ought to have the Geek trait for the rare collectible odds.
