So I'm not sure if this belongs in the sims: forum edition thread, since it's a household with my characters, but in the same apartment as the forum sims. Originally I was just going to redirect to the post in my writing thread, but fuck it, if oyu don't want to read it, then it's under a spoiler tag.
Emery. In the story he's from he's a reporter investigating a gang seeking to tear his city apart for their own gain. In this I decided to make him a club owner bc why not?
Zola. In her story she's the Princess of a kingdom torn apart by revolution and is forced to flee from her home. In this.. well, she's a teenager, so basically the only thing she can do is go to school
She does also play the violin so that's something.
Conall. He's supposed to be a giant but I can't alter the height of a Sim. He's the Lord Protector, so I made him Zola's father. He... doesn't do much tbh
Cedric. For the record none of these are really close to how I've imagined these characters, but Cedric is especially not close. You... really can't make ugly Sims? Also scars aren't a thing. I made him a criminal bc he's sort of a bounty hunter in the story he's from.
Fawn is Emery's partner and closest friend. I decided that she's the one who's going to try and be a reporter. She's really dedicated to her work which means she doesn't do much with the other sims.
Eve is a vampire. Her story starts in France in the 16th century, then moves to the Carribean during the golden age of piracy, and finally the American Revolution. In Sims she just gets up to vampire hijinxs prtty much.
Roawn is Conall's sister. In the story she's supposed to have antlers but obviously that's not possible. She's also supposed to be a giant. Again, not possible. I decided to make her chef bc someone had to cook. I also made her a vegetarian though, so she only made vegetarian food.
And finally Elizabeth from What Comes After/my Walking Dead story. She's a doctor.
Even though they've got the biggest apartment, it's still super crowded. I don't think Elizabeth is even using that computer, I think she's just sitting there so Zola can't sit at the desk to do her homework.
Appearnetly Eve is helping Zola with her homework from the other room? Okay.
Gotta love when a sim first starts playing an instrument and they're terrible.
SOS decided to come over to welcome them to the neighborhood.
After fighting vampires, Rock now finds himself flirting with one.
That's what happens when you let your guard down
He seems... pretty okay with it.
So Rowan decided to try and convince Eve to be a vegetarian, and Eve agreed to give it a shot... but how does that work? I mean, she's technically not eating meat... so is she a vegetarian?
The conversation heated up quickly
Aw, their first kiss
Aaaaaand Eve ruined the moment by asking to drink from Rowan.
Okay, to be fair that was me. I noticed that they were "lovebirds" now and wanted to see what would happened if Eve asked to drink from her.
SOS invited Emery and Eve to a dance party later that day
Eve immediately... uh, wll this is supposed to be flirting. I think she's doing a "sexy pose"
"making a move"
He looks so surprised.
By this point I was a little surprised with how forward Eve was being. She seemed to be flirtign more aggressively than even other sims with the romantic trait. Maybe because she's a vampire as well? I think they've got extra charm or whatever.
lolol decided to see if SOS would go for being drunk from
They mended things with a dance battle
Oh huh, you can see little bite marks on Rock's neck
Decided to see what "drink deeply" did
Not really sure what SOS thinks about this
Man SOS got over the whole "wants to drink his blood" thing real quick
Decided to start Emery's club. Conall, Harp, SOS, Rock, and some girl named Candy are also members. They like dancing, singing, drinking, listening to music, and being romantic. Fighting and being rude aren't allowed. They're just a nice party club.
The uniform is just "wear something green"(hence SOS new jacket), and they're secret handshake is to just do finger guns at each other.
Pfff gotta love Conall's club uniform.
the fuck is up with your arms Emery
show 'em what you got
I don't think SOS is very impressed
damn after just one night at the club he mastered all there is to dancing
The ultimate dance move is a backflip but it's hard to shwo you with a screenshot.
So eventually I unlocked this club jacket, and I thought the idea was you just put the clothes that are required on the dummy, and then the sims will just add it to their outfit, but... no, if you don't design a complete outfit for them, then they just wear the jacket and nothing else
This was the uniform for all of 10 seconds before I switched it back to just having green be a required color
See, Conall know what's up. He just flat-out refused to wear that uniform.
aaaand he also refused to go back to wearing green.
just.. . hanging out at the bar in his pajamas
oh shit the leader of a rival club
that can only mean on thing
DANCE BATTLE
she just fucking face-planted when she tried to do a backflip
I think Emery won
oh fuck
SOS came over bc his water was out and he needed a shower
....i .... i don't think he saw anything though
Just... chilling at the neighbors apartment... in nothing but a towel
Rowan saw SOS and ve hugging and came over to make things clear
I fucking love how the bar just drops
Shit the romance bars for both of them dropped
And Rowan is feeling "drifing love"
this might be a problem
Eve just seems to flirt with either of them whenever they're around, so, she's certainly not going to make a choice. Guess it's up to me then?
Teleported out into the city for...
...
I actually forgot why
Wasn't long before Eve started burning and I had to bring her back though
SOS just came over randomly looking sad and drinking coffee
Meanwhile Eve took a small drink out of Conall.(he seems big enough to deal with it)
Eve tried to flirt with SOS while Rowan was napping
But she woke up
I don't... he's confessing his fear of vampires.... to a vampire.
Rowan got very sad and wanted Eve to turn her into a vampire.... I actually feel really bad for her.
So the main household was being loud and Carlos was rude to Zola... and now they're just.... passive agressively talking very loudly right outside his door.... i don't.....
i didn't tell them to do this what
Okay, so here's a plan, I'll just go with whoever she wants to be with based on her whims
Evidently they were being to loud and Jake came over to complain. Conall was pretty dismissive.
lol Jake had to calm himself down with the mirror in the hall bc his apartment has no mirrors.
So Jake came inside for some reason to watch a movie with Conall even though they don't like each other?
They ended up bonding over the movie and they're okay with each other now I guess
Shit, feeding off her friends probably isn't a good idea.... and feeding in the city won't work unless it's night.
Wait
The perfect prey
Be seeing you soon, Sonic
Rock deided to invite Emery, Elizabeth, and a few others to celebrate Fawn's promotion
SOS came by(he wasn't even invited) and ruined the celebration by turning it into a gathering for Nexus instead
lol what a fucking square.
to explain: I tried to make the requirment for the uniform a style instead of a color. I went with "polished"
needless to say I went back to green uniforms after this
nice tank top
Conall still doesn't give a fuck about the uniforms
Elizabeth, Conall, and Fawn were at least trying to have some kind of celebration over by the bar while the rest of Nexus did.... whatever
Eventually Fawn ended yp passed out on a park bench and I sent her home
Got a game console for Zola since her fun requirment was always super low since most of her life is school and practice(like a real student!)
Eve did some research and found plasma juice she could buy from the internet instead of blood.... kind of bummed it means she doesn't need to feed from Sonic anymore
Again?
It's... a slightly different colored maid outfit.
okay
So Emery's been running into this guy Gavin and eventually it lined up that they met while Emery was flirty.
The two of them got together. That's pretty sweet. Emery's got a lot going for him, actually
Decided to have roawn venture out into the spice district to learn some new recipes.
Went about as well as it usually does
Eliabeth finally started as a doctor
Most of her tasks just have to do with drinking coffee and talking to her coworkers? I actually almost didn't complete her tasks because I was trying to help people instead of slack off.
This other orderly kept talking to the receptionist so no one got admitted for the whole day except for two kids Liz admitted.
After a pretty successful fist day, Liz went home and made some sweet dunks
Carlos heard Zola playing(who's pretty good by now) and decided to come in and watch
Soooo Eve got the ability to command people to do things and I decided to test it out on Carlos
I told him to repair stuff, but noting was broken, so he just went about his business. Pretty disappointing, overall. I later found out I could command Conall to work out,
but that's pretty dangerous because at one point I forgot to remove to spell and I think he would've worked himself to death if I hadn't caught it and removed to spell eventually
lol went to feed on Sonic a second time(it gives more experience) and realized he still has no idea who Eve is because she just drains him and leaves
Well shit, she got tense bc now she has a weakness that she becomes guilty for drinking from people without permision
I don't remember why, but Cedric and Rock don't like each other very much
lol Rock kicked his ass and now he's Cedric's sworn enemy
okay this tim there's no excuse, this receptionist is just terrible at her job why is she ignoring all these people
SOS invited Emery and Rowan over to chill
I used ti as an excuse to level up Rowan's mixology skill nice SOS has a bar
SOS, Zyph, and Emery just played games
So I asked Harp and SOS what they thought of Nexus and they both said something along the lines of, "it's great! I love hanging out with that Emery Taylor guy! Love what he's doing with the club!" but... they're saying it... to Emery Taylor. Referring to him in the third person. Um, okay
SOS pissed himself because Heisen broke the toilet and then just left, and I took that as a que to leave
Emery and Gavin decided to go to the Romance Festival
passionate kiss clipping through another sim
They both dang karaoke and had a good night. It was about time for emery to go back home when Harp invited him to another bar for a club gathering
They did a group dance number, which was pretty cool, except the dj left and there was no music and it was kind of awkward
Emery passed out on the dancefloor and that felt like a cue to leave
Medtating to recover dark energy while losing dark energy because she's in the sun. I really need to get her the sun resistance power
I got alluring aura instead bc reasons
I love how Emery is the only one unaffected by her alluring aura
I honestly don't know what Cedric's problem is
Hey, at least he won this time
Hey it's that moment I foreshadowed earlier where I almost killed Conall by accident
Bio came over to watch Zola perform a concerto
Eve and Elizabeth became best friends and...
Huh, Liz actually let Eve drink from her.
I noticed I forgot to remove to spell about the time he started to get dazed from the constant running
So Eve and Roawn were flirting(and I think Emery is cherring them on?) when...
perfect fucking timing
So it was finally time for Eve to make her choice, and I was prepared to just deal with it later after she inevitably didn't make a choice, when
Rowan just told him to fuck off and then asked Eve to be her girlfriend right there in front of him. Eve said yes
I guess now that she was officially Rowan's girlfriend, this made Eve's choice a lot easier, because she just turned to SOS and said they should just be friends
SOS was pretty angry at the time, but later he called Eve to congratulate her after hearing that she and rowan were dating....
Which...
You were there SOS
but nice save I guess
Anyway as the eventual result of meeting a street performer in the spice district, Rowan joined a club called the paragons and went with them to the public pool for a blub merting. Eve went along as well
The paragons were using the closet for a little fashion show but
Eve and rowan needed it more I guess
The rest of the club just kind of stood right outside gossiping the whole time
This is supposed to be Eve's swan dive
Needless to say it was not successful
Even and Rowan were having a romantic moment by the pool when
Fuck, the sun
A little meditation and she was alright.
Rowan still didn't want Eve to drink from her, but she didn't get so upset this time
Eve got sick. Can... xan vampires get sick? Anyway, good luck there's a doctor in the house
The game chrased shortly after this, but the wrap up: Eve got an ability to steal life force permanetly from one person and give it to another, so I decided to have her take Sonic's and give it to Rowan. Sonic wasn't home though, so I started something cooking in his oven and then left, hoping it would set his apartment on fire bc that's be pretty funny
