Who else dislikes Thorne Bailey?

Leave him alone.

I like him although he can be a jerk sometimes. I feel like he takes advantage of Octavia's talent. I think he really loves his son.

@Simpkin ... I think my hate comes from him and poor Clarice splitting up...

I feel bad for the guy. I mean it's annoying the sims stop doing everything when he's around but he's a regular sim.

i'm not really a fan of him or octavia, though all i've done is kick the household out of their house so venessa can have it (i also kicked judith ward out of her house to give it to a vampire)

i think a really big part of why i dislike them is who they're based on (some of my least favorite 'celebrities' in real life) but they're different enough not to warrant instant deletion. though they might head to the bin if i get around to making enough famous sims in similar lines of work to the two of them

also, i was totally expecting this to be another 'thorne bailey keeps hogging the spotlight with his jumping around stuff' and was going to point out that any and every 4 and 5 star celeb can and will do exactly that. though thorne seems to do it more than any other (probably due to one of his quirks and/or fame purchases)

I didn't know they were supposed to be based on anyone. I think Orange's name is a reference to Apple Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter.

Thorne has the paparazzi darling quirk and he can Incite Cheers which is probably why he can be so annoying in public.

I'm not fond of him, myself. I had my sim go to the Orchid Go Go and every time she would try to play guitar or sing, he would come in, hopping around like a silly bunny.

Every....

Single....

TIME!

Yeah... not a fan.

Kinda obnoxious, but then again I think he only is since he tends to end up being a entertainer since he's in the entertainment field and of course steals the spotlight when he's at a lounge. Kinda just had my sim performing at bars which worked out a lot better. Their background story is pretty interesting really and they definitely do look like the celebrity power couple. The sims team definitely make some very good premades.

I did not play him and Octavia. When I first visited DSV I found him annoying because he always showed up. But that was before I understood that he works at the Go Go. Now I think he is almost kind of cool, and wish he would perform more often.

He's annoying for sure, more annoying than other celebrities. I've got my own way of dealing with him as soon as he shows up, with the help of the Book of Chaos:

Maybe he just needs to get out of the crazy rat race, quit the spotlight and go find himself in Granite Falls.

@Seafoam_Green123 Based on their background I can't see Thorne cheating on Octavia without consequences seeing as she's the one that has the talent in writing his lyrics for his music. He only has the talent in playing guitar and not much else. Pretty sure she'd run him into the ground and he'd be pretty penniless and just a sham when the full truth comes out. Octavia's pretty much his gravy train.

He's pretty much guaranteed to take the spotlight being a musically talented sim as most of the other premade celebrities won't as much. Sims just seemed instantly attracted when a celebrity is playing music, doing comedy or singing.

In one save decided to have him pursue acting and ditch the entertainment career. Barely saw him at any venue's. He'd pop up now and again, but not as a entertainer or to play. He ends up being less obnoxious then again I like that he pops up anyway if you have a sim trying to gain some fame in entertainment. The struggle makes it interesting. :)

Octavia is a good mom and wife even with her juice problems. Probably due to all the stress and work of writing her books and also writing Thorne's music.
