We are back in Desiderata Valley at 153 Main Street, the residence of John Mole.
It's a nice little bungalow, albeit rather monotone in colour.
John is a Popularity Sim with a lifetime wish to become a Media Magnate. The job isn't available so he fulfils another wish by inviting someone over.
It's Sharon Wirth (who is in love with John and vice versa) and Natasha Una.
Not long after they arrive the welcome wagon joins them, it's Cyd Roseland, Trisha Traveller and Mary Gavigan.
Mary shows off her impressive 'flying' skills, otherwise known as a belly flop.
:D
John made a plate of sandwiches and the neighbours have a good chat.
One thing I learned about John this first day, he is a terrible gossip!
He seems to have lots of gossip about Tara Kat,
and her many cats!
After his neighbours left John walked to the Gothier Green Lawns.
He scoped the room and found he quite liked the Contessa Marisa Tan.
He also had a good chat with Wanda Tinker, in fact by the end of the day he'd got himself 7 friends.
The beauty of knowing a Vampire is that they can be called at any time of the night and Marisa came over in the early hours when John couldn't sleep. She likes John quite a lot.
On Tuesday John did some tasks around the house, still didn't find Journalism, but as he's already a CSI he went off to work anyway to earn some money.
John returned home with his friend Marcel Jocque and a promotion to Surveillance Operator.
He had the night off and asked Marisa on a dinner date.
They were just about to tuck into their meal when Sharon Wirth came up and got very jealous.
She gave John a big slap and shouted lots of things, none of them nice!
John tried to salvage the (now) bad date as best he could in the remaining time but it ended up as 'boring'.
Of course that meant that John would be paperless for a week at best or having his trash kicked over the yard at worst. Sometimes Sharon just came by to pout like she's doing here.
Nevertheless John continued to make new friends and after a late shift to Reconnaissance Communicator he bought himself a car to do up.
He started work on it immediately as it needed a whole new engine and lots of bodywork.
Another shift saw John promoted to Rookie Field Agent.
As he was working evenings he got up early to work on the car.
He soon made friends with Postie Gina Patch.
By Thursday John had made his first 5K.
John did some much needed yardwork as the Autumn leaves were falling and the hedges getting overgrown.
On Friday a chance card gave John a promotion to Field Agent and a boost in funds to 10K earned.
John wanted to visit a community lot so he went to the local Gardens.
He met a townie and they sat and had a game of chess but there weren't too many new Sims on the lot that night.
Back home after more yardwork John suddenly went very cold.
Hot chocolate wasn't enough to warm his greying skintone so he sank into a hot bubble bath.
much better!
On Saturday John finally got the new engine in!
Now he just had some bodywork to sand and paint.
But he wanted to throw a party so invited all of his friends.
How funny that Wanda's outerwear is so old fashioned. :D
John ordered some pizzas and a good time was had by all.
He even felt he and Sharon were making good progress again.
Of course the Police came and broke up his roof raising party.
On Sunday morning John finished the last of the pizza for breakfast.
ah, it seems Sharon hasn't quite forgiven John!
John asked his friend and bartender Brooke over to become his newest best friend. She stayed a while before heading home.
So it's not just Wanda with the 'old' outerwear. This time around I put the 'Castle' collection into my downloads so I'm guessing that's the reason.
hmm, isn't it Knowledge Sims that usually play with Rubik's cubes?
John chose a simple charcoal grey with a flame design to finish his car, just in time too as Winter is here!
We leave John 'spying' on his neighbours' until next time!
Summary.
John had no luck at all finding Journalism this week. He is also unsure of his path in life regarding family, he has 1 bolt for Contessa Marisa, 2 for Sharon and 3 for bartender Brooke but still didn't wish for anyone in particular. Maybe next time when it's Spring he will.
It was still an enjoyable week at John's place.
John had a good week in spite of him not finding his dream job, and a great party. Him having three bolts for Brooke would settle it for me 😊
ReplyDeleteI like the outerwear on Wanda, but it does not look all that warm, does it.
Yes the 3 bolts doesn't happen naturally very often does it so perhaps next time around John will make things official with Brooke! :)
DeleteWanda's outwear is probably very heavy! :D
This is a fun update! Sometimes it can be slow playing single sims, but John has plenty going on to keep it interesting. I'm looking forward to eventually seeing which (if any) of the women he will settle down with .
ReplyDeleteYes me too! :D
DeleteI think John being a Popularity Sim was never lonely for long as he always had someone come over.
