Roommates, Round 1
Two families combined again. Then there is one more after this before the rotation starts all over again. And, OMG, I am ridiculously in love with them all. Also, I wish I could think of a decent name for this neighborhood. I can only ever think of really stupid crap. Bleh.
Of course we've met Frances before but in this life she's a proud nerd - her goal in life is to reach the top of the oceanography career track - who is slightly introverted but only around people she doesn't know very well. And she is known to enjoy rocking out on her guitar in the privacy of her own home.
This is her roommate and BFF, Abigail, who is the complete opposite of an introvert and isn't afraid to show off her larger than life personality through her crazy hairdo and bright makeup. She dreams of being a famous journalist one day.
Honestly, this picture just exists for me to drool over Gaspard some more. It's kind of scary how incredibly attractive I find this bundle of pixels but it's true. And I'm not sure what exactly it is about him. I think it's the huge glasses; I find glasses extremely sexy most of the time. Also, he's just hot. I mean, look at those cheekbones, damn.
Abigail: Listen, bitch, I saw him first. Now get out of my way!
Actually, I don't think Abby minds missing out on her opportunity with Gaspard much because she and Frances have got a little thing of their own going. My original plan was for them to slowly but surely fall for each other. Well, they didn't exactly pay attention to the slowly part but oh well! They're too terribly adorable for me to care. Meanwhile, Fleur tries to fulfill her socializing quota for the day with another neighbor.
Fleur: Are you a fan of downhill skiing, by any chance?!?
Kate: WTF? Downhill skiing? What kind of a stupid question is that? I hate all sports!
Fleur: OH MY GOD HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY TASTE IN SPORTS!
Annnnnnd... I think someone needs to go home before she has a major panic attack.
Once they've said goodbye to the welcome wagon, Frances and Abby decide to head out for a night on the town and the first thing they do is head for, you guessed it, the photo booth! And not for picture-taking purposes. Well, I guess they're not wasting any time, now are they?
It was apparently a smashing success.
My Sims seem to have an uncanny talent for being in their underwear at even the most awkward of moments. But, then again, doesn't everybody stretch out on the sidewalk to half-nakedly admire the beautiful morning?
Paper Boy: They don't pay me enough to deliver the paper to all of these fucking freaks who live in this town.
Frances & Abby: *discuss fish tanks and bath tubs*
Me: *entirely clueless as to where this conversation is going*
Abby: OMG! Wasn't that woohoo in the photo booth the other day so incredibly amazing?
Frances: Yes, it was. And I think we should go try to recreate the moment in our bedroom... right now.
Well, this isn't awkward at all... and she has a camera too. For some reason, I find that creepier than anything else. Who knows what she's planning to do with that thing.
OH MAH GAH SO CUTE!
Abby: Hey, Calista, sorry about what you had to walk in on back there! I hope you're still interested in being best friends!
Calista: Hmm... I might be willing to take you up on that offer... if you let me make out with your super hot girlfriend first.
Abby makes some super bad ass guitar-playing faces.
Like so.
Frances: Woo... Hoo.
I'm telling you, all of my Sims are sex-crazed nymphomaniacs. It's all they ever think about.
Awwww, isn't this sweet. It's good to know that you guys are interested in each other for things other than the great sex.
So the girls decided to adopt a pet and this pretty awesome elf-eared police officer with epic facial hair came over to drop their new baby off.
FUCK. THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLY CUTE. By the way, the kitten's name is Edison because one of his traits was genius. So I thought it was fitting.
Frances is amazed by Edison's super cat powers.
*SQUEEEEEEEEEE*
Of course, the most important thing is that Edison passes the Abigail test.
And I think he just did! So in celebration let's get all of the adorable kitten spam out of the way in one go, shall we?
Tiny kitten, huge basket = way too cute.
BB! THAT'S WHAT YOUR GIGANTIC BED IS FOR! EVEN IF THIS IS TERRIBLY PRECIOUS! I guess he was just still getting used to his new surroundings.
Ted, consider this punishment for spying on Fleur and ruining your relationship with her earlier.
Ted: YOU STUPID BITCH, HOW DARE YOU SPY ON MY PRIVATE RESIDENCE! I COULD CALL THE COPS ON YOUR ASS!
Abigail: Why, good sir... I've done no such thing. As you can see I've been busy here fixing my broken trash compactor so I've had no time at all to do as you claim.
I'm not sure how he managed to gain aspiration points through this less-than-friendly interaction, LMAO.
NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID, YOU ASSHOLE! YOU MADE POOR SWEET ABBY CRY!
Ted: Goddamnit, I can't do anything right! Now I've ruined my chances with her too.
Later, Abby and Frances continue to be all adorable and lovely while dining out together.
Then Abby decides to surprise Frances with a huge shiny engagement ring!
Frances is SUPER STOKED.
And more cuteness abounds after she accepts.
Meanwhile, apparently the bubble blower, not the food, is the main attraction in this place. All of the townies seem to be drawn to it like moths to a flame.
Frances: Dear, please move out of my way so I can go put these roses on our front porch for you.
Abby: But... I'm... right... here?
Elf cop keeps giving Frances a ring. Now I can understand maybe once or twice to check on how Edison is doing but I'm beginning to think he might have ulterior motives keeping it up like this.
At the end of the week, the girls and another work friend of Abby's, Callie, celebrate their engagement by hitting this super hip and very neon nightclub.
Abby: This one goes out to my lovely lady sitting at the bar over there. I love you, babe!
They kind of sucked but, hey, it's the thought that counts, right?
I would find Callie's creepy stalking very unsettling if I wasn't so distracted by the adorableness occupying the rest of this picture.
No nightclub experience is complete without a spin on the dance sphere, of course!
Abby: Ow, that hurt.
Frances: Oooooooh, this looks like fun!
Now we must leave Frances and Abby for a moment to meet some other Sims. Here's Finn! He's a total nerd who makes a living as a gamer and is generally just a nice guy who eventually wants to have a big family.
This is Finn's husband Leo (and their pet womrat Squirt!) who is basically a starving artist and I gave him facial hair in a moment when I forgot it was Finn's turn-off, haha. But it looks good and they love each other anyway. Facial hair clearly cannot get in the way of a love this strong!
And this is their best friend, Kate, who is basically just a crazy fun girl who likes to have lots of friends. And she would apparently like to find herself a well-off man to support her until she becomes the rock goddess she one day dreams of being.
Finn: Kate, this cooking show sure is entertaining and informational, isn't it?!?
Kate: Oh yeah... I'm feeling totally enlightened right now. *rolls eyes*
Finn: Suit yourself! You don't know the good time you're missing!
LOL. I am endlessly entertained by Sims who do these crazy dance moves.
And even more entertained by ones who are clumsy.
Kate plays the violin but she would like everyone to know that she isn't playing any wimpy classical music and is rather totally rocking out. Got it?
I apparently have to over-do it on lovey-dovey, only here because they're adorable pictures for every single one of my Sim couples.
BUT THEY'RE SO AMAZINGLY ADORABLE!
SEE?!? YOU CANNOT DENY IT!
Kate, meanwhile, really needs to find herself a man to love too because she 's just fast asleep in her room right next to theirs blissfully snoring away.
Finn: Hey, honey, how about a little good morning peck?
Leo: Don't even start. You know I'm not a morning person at all. Now shut up before I scratch your eyes out.
Kate: Awwwwwwwkward.
While his housemates are off doing, you know, real jobs Leo stays at home in his undies all day and paints. Hey, a guy can't help what form his muse decides to arrive in - even if that form is half-naked.
When he starts to feel blocked for ideas, he just goes outside and sniffs the flowers (also in his undies, naturally) and suddenly his brain is positively brimming with inspiration!
Finn: Well, hey there, foxy lady. Can I buy you another drink?
Kate: ...Yeah, you are totally drunk right now.
LMAO. This is like a boyband dance routine gone all wrong.
These fools kept me entertained for far too long, I must admit.
Leo and Kate kind of like to dork it up together by taking ridiculous photo booth pictures.
And playing intense games of rock-paper-scissors.
Kate: Haha, rock crushes scissors, I win!
Kate: FUCK YEAH! TAKE THAT, MOTHERFUCKA!
Leo: Damn it, you always win! Tell me your secrets!
Finn, meanwhile, spends a lot of time trying to master the art of not waking the llama.
Finn: Curse you, you stupid llama! I will defeat you one day, mark my words!
Finn: YES! FINALLY! I REIGN VICTORIOUS!
Leo: Good morning, honey! Aren't you glad to see me making an effort by greeting you instead of threatening to murder you?
Finn: Yeah, that's nice and all but, oh God, babe, now I can see why you're so distant in the mornings! It's because you totally reek!
Seriously. This underwear problem that is afflicting all of my Sims is starting to get troubling. I think an intervention is in order or something.
So... let's just pretend that Kate has been undergoing artificial insemination for awhile now because she is officially a surrogate mother for Finn and Leo's first child. For some reason, I can get behind male impregnation through alien abduction but I just can't get behind same-sex reproduction in the game yet. It's a phenomenon I can't explain but, anyway, I didn't want their genes to be totally useless in the grand scheme of things so I decided this would be an interesting course to take rather than adoption. And with that, we will leave them for the moment and hope to come back to an adorable spawn.
