more bellow the cut

a little bit of a backstory

Growing up Ashley always felt alone. At first she couldn't understand why her parents were so cold to her, so she tried to earn their love by always being good, studying hard, winning every competition, but as time flew by she finally saw that no matter what she did they won't care about her. She was just an unwanted child.

The moment she turned 18 Ashley packed her things and moved to San Sequoia. Starting a new life in the city where no one knew about her wasn't hard, but now when everything in her life is stable, she can finally acknowledge that deep down there were always a feeling as if something was missing. Ashley dreamed about meeting her soulmate and having a family of her own. So maybe, that's it? Maybe Arvin will be the one for her? She won't know if she wouldn't try...

Socialite and architect Francesca Williams presents herself as a candidate for @d4isywhims's Hearts for Arvin Bachelor Challenge

Born and raised in the suburbs of Brindleton Bay, she knew she always wanted to be an architect. Despite coming from a family full of lawyers and doctors, her father fully supported her. Her mom..? ehh not so much... She moved to Britechester, earning a degree in architecture. She now owns an architectural business, which she loves and cherishes deeply. That said, she can be very snobbish if something isn't to her taste. She is not afraid to voice it. She is however very empathetic and generous. Her mother was very disappointed in her career choice and even more that she hasn't gotten married yet. Francesca never really thought of marriage after her first failed engagement. She has temporarily handed the title of CEO to her right hand woman in order to try her luck at winning Arvin's heart... and securing the bag. If not, well she hopes to make friends, and eventually be a bridesmaid for one of the lucky girls.

Likes: R&B, walks in the park, art, fitness, architecture, a nice composed song, blue, gray, comedy.

Dislikes: Yellow (in terms of clothing), Gossip, pranks, the cold, argumentative people...

Few facts about her:

She has a few stories she has written

She built a charity in honor of her twin brother, whom unfortunately passed away at birth.

She plans on adopting a child..

In a trailer in Oasis Springs...

"My name is Johnny Zest, but it hasn't always been that. I suppose since you sent the tape then you know that already."

"What you may not know is that I'm a werewolf."

"The Landgraabs in this universe are a powerful and prestigious werewolf pack in Moonwood Mill. My mother, Nancy, is the pack's alpha... I'm the oldest son, and was supposed to take over. Her and Geoffrey, my sire and her fated mate - and our pack delta, have had my entire life life laid out since I was born."

"As you can imagine, I hated that. I ran away as soon as I could, and I've been hiding out in Oasis Spring since then. Hopefully, you're not set on having in-laws."

"Living without my family's wealth is tough, but I'm making do. I'm hoping that I can become a comedian. Maybe I can do that in your universe too?"

"I have a knack for making people laugh. I can even get Agnes Crumplebottom to smile!"

"I hope that you don't mind my eating habits. I try to not be too messy, but... you know..."

"Anyways, I would like to find a partner - especially one that isn't picked out by my parents. This whole premise with magical tapes is fascinating, and I'm curious what the other Johnny Zests are like. You're cute, and hopefully this tape works!"

Extra information below the cut for @cawthorntales!

Johnny's up on the gallery for you!

He's got no CC and is unmodded. I didn't set his werewolf XP so he's still a runt and hasn't had a full moon yet. If you need/want me to take care of that, then I can. :)

He's got a Halloween costume set up on his second party attire.

Some bloopers from Norton's bachelor challenge 🤡

You could spot Fiorella arguing with almost every female crossing her path

I laughed as this is all I saw, but I know she was just beating up this girl

She even ended up her friendly meeting with Norton to go "talk" to this passenger.

Of course, her being enemies with Catherine was fun to watch whenever they were at the same place more than 2 seconds

Funny enough it was all just staring at each other with anger, I never saw them talking

Catherine was very...intense. This poor lady was just talking to Norton, and she autonomously slapped her and beat her up 👀

Also, on her first day on board the cruise captain drowned in his private pool and she was so happy (I didn't save)

Pretty sure she killed that one girl at the bar !

... and she killed Norton as he was joining Fiorella for their friendly meeting 😂 (I didn't save)

To finish, one night Fiorella appeared out of nowhere to watch Norton sleep, c-r-e-e-p-y. Let's say she got the wrong cabin haha

🪻 Cynthia Gray 🪻 for @d4isywhims All the Hearts for Arvin!

Despite her status as a successful, fan-favorite romance novelist, Cynthia Gray has no idea what it’s like to be in love. She might be a hopeless romantic at heart, but at twenty-seven years old she’s still only been in a handful of romantic relationships, each of them short lived and shallow. If you were to ask her about it, Cynthia would claim she simply doesn’t have time for a real relationship. Her mother died in an accident when Cynthia was twelve, and her father passed from illness eight years later, leaving Cynthia as the sole guardian of her younger siblings, Samuel and Sadie. The past seven years of her life have been dedicated to taking care of them, and while she loves them with all her heart and wouldn’t have it any other way, it doesn’t leave much time for romance. And so, to fill that longing in her heart for companionship, Cynthia turned to her imagination. But now, with Sadie seventeen and almost ready to head off to college, and Samuel twenty-two and entering the workforce, Cynthia is faced with the reality that her siblings are starting their own lives… and she should, too. When Cynthia heard that the Vandeleur heir was seeking a partner, she threw caution to the wind and signed up for All the Hearts for Arvin. At the very least, she’s likely to get a good story out of the whole thing. Will Cynthia walk away from this challenge with new friends, a new story, or a new relationship? Or will she walk away with worse: her very first heartbreak?

More information below the cut!

* I have the more traits in CAS mod, but if you don’t have that, then feel free to stick with just Overachiever, Lovebug, and Loyal!

** Feel free to remove any traits that are too cheat-y/would give her too much of a leg up! I just picked what best fit her character :)

*** Same as the traits, I just picked what best fit her character. I know she can only have 12 skill points total, so for the challenge I’d like her to have: Charisma - 4 | Logic - 4 | Romance - 4 please! Feel free to erase the rest if you want haha and thank you! (God I hope I didn’t pick wildly incorrectly LOL)

FUN FACTS

She’s a horrible cook and hates doing it, but doesn’t mind baking.

She’s always wanted a dog, but never had one—raising two teens as a twenty-something was difficult enough!

She finds it a bit difficult to make friends—not because she doesn’t want to, but because she’s so focused on trying to be the best at everything she does. Deep down, she’s terrified of failure.

She’s intensely loyal to those she’s close to, and very honest.

While she’s skeptical of things like dating shows, the hopeless romantic in her secretly wishes Arvin is the one.

She didn’t come from a huge fortune or anything like that (though her parents left them enough to live comfortably while Cynthia finished college)so while she’s climbed up the ranks in her career, wealth like Arvin’s is still incredibly foreign and awe-inspiring to her.

She’s shy about dancing, but get a few drinks in her and the party animal comes out. She doesn’t get a lot of opportunities to let loose, so she takes them when she can!

If her brother and sister don’t like a partner for her, it’s over—her siblings always come first.

She loves to do things that keep her hands busy, like knitting, gardening, etc.

While writing is her true passion, she adores other creative skills (like painting, singing, etc.), mental skills (research & debate, logic, etc.), and even a few physical skills (dancing, snowboarding, etc.)!

She wants to someday find a love as deep as her parents’ love was for each other.

I am proud to announce Eloise Coleman, by @fruitysimsy, as the winner of the Love On The Ranch challenge! With Albane Dubois by @spillgrand coming in close second.

-----------------------------------

After revealing the winning contestant to Asher, here is what he had to say:

Asher: I had high hopes for Eloise. I feel like we really hit it off when we first met. Though I had pretty good compatibility with the others, I felt very drawn to her. It also kinda helps that she has a tremendous love for animals. I think my biggest goal besides finding a soulmate, was to find someone who loves Tulip as much as I do; and I think El is the perfect match for the both of us.

Interviewer: El? You've created a nickname for her already?

Asher: *chuckles* How could I not? I feel like I've grown pretty close to her to call her by a nickname, y'know.

Interviewer: Well, now that Eloise has been declared the winner, when are you going to propose?

Asher: *smiles* I plan on proposing to her as soon as we land in Tartosa. There’s a beautiful beach there, and I decided to have everything, including dinner, set up there.

Interviewer: Dinner? *giggles* You don't strike me as the cooking type.

Asher: Haha, very funny. Yes, unfortunately, I never learned to cook. My dad was always away and my mom passed during childbirth. It helps knowing my soon to be fiance will be able to help me out with that *laughs*

Interviewer: How do you feel about being married and sharing your space with someone else?

Asher: I'm a little nervous, but also excited. I've spent most of my life alone, so it's all I'm used to. I feel like a change in environment and lifestyle would be the perfect chance for a new start in life. Yes, I know I have Tulip, but she's too big to cuddle with *laughs*. The loneliness gets suffocating, but I feel like Eloise is my opportunity to finally breathe.

Interviewer: That is very sweet of you.

------------------------------------

Stay tuned for Eloise and Asher's engagement post + wedding invitation announcement soon! Congrats again to the winning contestant :) And thank you to those who participated.

Sims and Sensibility: A Mini BC

This one goes out to all those period drama loving people like myself. I will be taking 5 Sims only, you are free to reserve a spot, for a mini dramatic bc. I will be using mods but every interaction is gameplay based and each Sim chosen will end up with a respective partner. There's going to be love, drama, and everything in between.

Catherine (Cat) has been sent to live in Henford for the cold season with her two closest siblings Marianne and Dominic.

1 bachelor/bachelorette, aka any gender and sexuality

Human Sims only!!

Entry Sim can be with a family, but only one Sim is needed for the BC

Maxis match hair ONLY, any other cc is fine (I'm Maxis Mix)

No sliders, presets are ok but might look distorted, and eyes either need to be facepaint or in the skin detail/occult eye (NSB has some eyes in that category!)

[kirsicca]

Pack you bags, book your trip and TAKE a HIKE with Frankie Shirey!

Does your sim need to get away from it all? Are they maybe trying to get over their failed marriage (like our main man here), or forget a relationship that shouldn't have happened? Maybe they're running from their tragic past, or seeking a cleansing experience to cure their raging alcoholism! Or maybe they just hecking love nature, or need a way to finish their frog collections in an organized environment. Whatever the reason, BACKPACKING ACROSS SIMNATION promises to bring together total strangers in rudimentary accommodations, where we all are forced to face the harsh yet freeing simplicity of camping.

MAX 7 PARTICIPANTS 🏕️ 🧭 No eliminations, we're all in this 'til the end 🧭 Romantic goal not guaranteed nor required, the challenge will go with the flow! Main focus on storytelling and building relationships and experiences!

• any gender, young adult, adult or elder • human only • rich backstory encouraged, family members/pets/household also welcome (they won't be part of the challenge, but they're free to roam to world) • can have skills, any level you want • please add likes and dislikes as much as you want • no alpha hair, clothes can be maxis mix • can have multiple outfits per category, but keep in mind that we're camping in the wilderness!

I use Wicked Whims, Lumpinou's Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul Collection, Basemental drugs, so sim can have traits and other features based on them. (Such as wicked attributes, thoughts on kids etc.) Sliders and presets are fine! I have my own defaults so please don't include any override cc though!

Deadline for entries is the end of October, or until there's enough backpackers. Tag #takeahikechallenge and @kirsicca

Welcome along on this wonderful journey!

Alejandro Flores for @akitasimblr's Mad About Dodo BC

Traits: Cheerful, Goofball, Bro

Alejandro Flores is originally from Selvadorada.

He loves the beach, surfing, and sandwiches.

He's a sweet guy- very golden retriever coded.

The thing about Ale is that when people first meet him they think he's amazingly chill and wise but his close friends all know he is really a space cadet and pretty clueless.

He's looking for love...Or a new friend. Maybe just an excuse to go surfing in Sulani. Actually, he's looking for his wallet. He has no idea where he left it.

A New Contestant Stands Before the Ranch

Let me introduce you to Albane, the contestant I created for @snderist 's bachelor challenge.

Left blind after a gardening accident, Albane was left to struggle with a low self-esteem and an instable future. Managing to stay strong and continue her career as a caterer, she is now searching for the one that will accept her whole... even if a piece of her is now missing.

I hope she'll get a chance to be in the contest !

You can read all about her below:

As soon as she could remeber, Albane was always gifted for gardenning. Since her early childhood years, the young girl spent countless hours in the garden of the house she shared with her family, observing and tending to the flowers. This passion for gardening was passed down to her by her mother, Simone, a rather well known botanist that tought her how to take care of the many flowers that populated her garden. But one particular plant would change Albane's destiny forever. When her daughter reached thé age of fourteen, Simone thought that she could safly introduce Albane to the cowplant in the back of the garden. Sadly, things did not go as planned. When it saw the young girl approch, the cowplant lost it's calm and attacked, leaving the girl dangerously injured. After being urgently taken into the nearest hospital, Albane woke up after multiple surgeries to be greeted by the voices of her relatives through complete, pure and frightening darkness. The accident had left her blinded and without any hope of being able to see again. Albane had to learn everything again, from walking to doing basic tasks. Gardening wasn't impossible to adapt to her blindness, but it took a painfully long time. Left wondering how to live her life with such a burden, Albane didn't really consider possible things such as dating. Her blindness often tried the patience of anyone outside of her family, so much so that her everyday job had bean a miracle to get. How could someone bare it enough to date her. But an anoucement she heard on the radio changed her mind. A dating show? She had Heard about some in the past, but never thought about it seriously. Maybe it would be a good introduction to dating. As the anoucement ended, she picked up her phone and registered. Sure, she wasn't really experienced in that domaine, but, like her mother said, better late than never.

When her mother described to her a picture of Asher, something inside of seemed to awake, something that she had never felt before. A rancher ? She dreamed many times of having someone close to nature for herself. Could he be the one ? She was willing to fight for it, even if it meant changing.

So much athletic prowess...

[blvckentropy]

Starting off hot for our Red Team with the beautiful, Kierra Wright @invisiblequeen

Words from our host, she was really feeling Richie

Happy to say, they were both eager to see each other

Though their attractive scale says different (but over here basic is not a bad thing!)

They each shared in some heartfelt jokes to break the ice

Richie complained about the cloudy weather (same!)

Had a little chat before parting ways

Let's see how everything goes with these two on....

psssst.....there might one more spot left 🤐 [you didn't hear that from me tho]

[flotheory]

As he was about to talk to Chloé, Catherine autonomously interfeered to flirt with Norton and he agreed.

He immediately rolled the wish to play a video game with Chloé and proceeded to go talk to Fiorella.

After a friendly nod she received a text so he returned to chat with Chloé. She was having a blast on the dancefloor haha !

                              •MALLORY BLACK•

Mal is 25 years old and had always lived in Willow Creek until she moved out as as a Young Adult to San Myshuno to start her ‘city girl’ life. Emphasis on the quotation marks because, despite her fashion sense, the only thing Mallory really wants in life is to have a loving partner and happy ending. She literally cannot handle heartbreak (see: her first boyfriend in high school and the first girlfriend she had in the city).

She never really stopped watching kid shows since she was constantly babysitting either her baby cousins or helping her friends babysit their siblings, so occasionally she’ll swallow her pride and turn on an episode of Miraculous Ladybug or Winx Club.

Being raised by her aunt and uncle, Mariam and Marcus, because of her parents’ messy relationship, she was always taught that you should think through who you committed to and is staying hesitantly optimistic about this new experience ;)

Aspiration: Big Happy Family

Traits: Goofball, Clumsy, Geek, Jealous, Childish

Likes: Orange, Green, Pink, Retro Music, Hip-hop, Nicknames

Dislikes: Blue, Yellow, Spooky Music, Americana Music, Writing, Mixology, Gardening, Liars

Career: Space Cadet

Hobbies: Rocket Science, Programming, Guitar

Sexuality: Chronically Bisexual
