Thank you so much to everyone who submitted a sim! Even if your sim wasn't picked in the end, know that I appreciated seeing your entry and trust me when I say this was NOT an easy decision, so much so I ended up going 1 over the original intention of taking 8 sims. And to those who have been selected... well, good luck! ;)

First Day: Free Day

Most of the sims were immediately drawn towards Dakota's record player and started cowpoke dancing. Rory and Mauro especially were having the time of their lives.

A few sims gravitated towards each other for one on one convos, already making friends! Asher also quickly made friends with Dakota's horse, Joan Crawford.

Day 1 then ended with stories being told around the campfire.

some bonuses for y'all under the cut:

Spooky Day Party!

Tricks and treats were had by all!

Dakota made ghost cookies for everyone, which they all seemed to enjoy. He also got to show off his sick mixology skills!

All the contestants seemed to be having fun at the party and took some time to interact with one another and deepen some friendships.

When asking for a treat, Rory got a little trick from an impish Clive, while Cisco got some candy from Lucky.

Towards the end of the party, while everyone was dancing away the last of their energy, Levi went and got his ass handed to him by the beer keg lmao.

Last post for a little bit! I'm too busy atm to play so we're having a little hiatus

bonus: the morning after the spooky day party

idk why everyone woke up so early, but they did despite some of them being hungover lol

i love how proud levi looks of his cooking

grumpy mauro <3 grumpy about cooking despite me cancelling the interaction bc levi had made food already

they're all waiting on dakota to wake up and take some of them on speed dates 👀

First Impressions: Part 1

To start off the first round of first impressions, we've got Asher, Lucky, Francisco, Clive and Mauro!

Asher and Dakota both thought positively of each other as impact-conscious people. Dakota finds them very attractive, while Asher doesn't seem to have any strong feelings about Dakota attractiveness-wise. They have amazing compatibility.

Lucky's first impression of Dakota was that he's an interesting sim, he also has a crush on him. Dakota on the other hand found Lucky to be egocentric. They both think the other is very attractive. Their compatibility is neutral.

Francisco thinks Dakota is clingy, while Dakota values that he is impact-conscious. Dakota finds Francisco very attractive, while Francisco finds him attractive. Their compatibility is amazing.

Clive thinks of Dakota as a nature-maniac, and Dakota views him as sophisticated. They have amazing compatibility, but Dakota thinks Clive is just basic-looking, while Clive thinks he's attractive.

Finally, Mauro thinks Dakota is funny and Dakota appreciates that Mauro is strong-minded. They have amazing compatibility, and Mauro thinks Dakota is attractive, while Dakota thinks Mauro is very attractive.

Free Day!

After the first elimination and with a party on the horizon, the whole house deserved a little free day to unwind and hang out.

If there's one thing the contestants are always doing when they have some downtime, it's dance.

Clive was so precious playing the air guitar, I am eternally charmed by him.

There was a lot of cross stitching but I would be exceeding the limit of photos if I tried to show everyone cross stitching lmao they just couldn't stop.

As you can see by the swimsuits, a few of them took advantage of the pool.

Levi, Rory and Asher remembered they were in a competition and made an effort to chat with and get to know Dakota lol.

I just love seeing everyone in their element, doing their own thing, I was so happy to see Mauro play the piano.

First Elimination... Part 1

Oh boy, here we go... Part 1 of our first elimination of the challenge! Eight sims get to stay, but who will be the one to leave us at the end of the night?

First to get a rose is Xolo! He and Dakota have a whole 10 points of friendship above anyone else, they just got along so well throughout the competition so far.

With the second highest relationship and amazing compatibility, Cisco is next to receive a rose!

Mauro, Asher, Lucky and Levi all had pretty similar numbers with Dakota, some just had better compatibility and sentiments than others

We have three contestants left and two roses to be given away... Tune in next time to find out who's leaving the ranch!

Speed Dating #1

Here we are with the first round of speed dating! We're going with the 4 with the lowest friendship to Dakota, though I promise the order of the dates was random

1st speed date: Rory Liang ; Rory met Dakota at the coffee shop and it was impossible for both of them to get coffees at the same time lol but Rory enjoyed a cup while they talked.

2nd speed date: Kiley Coltrane ; Dakota finally managed to get something to eat, Kiley wasn't hungry, they chatted on the porch but for the most part nothing in their sentiments to each other changed ): they were both kinda grumpy about being alone together.

3rd speed date: Lucky Wolff ; now these two are always in a flirty mood with each other, they're so attracted to each other it's crazy, so they chatted by the campfire and got their flirt on.

4th speed date: Asher Downey ; these two get along so well! They had a lovely time cloud gazing, and Dakota finally got his hands on some coffee, after all this dating he really needed the caffeine boost.

Next time we'll be moving onto our first elimination round 🙈🙈

First Group Date: Part 1

First off, group dates at this stage are being done in 2 different groups ( I didn't want to handle 10 sims bowling lol )

Everyone did a few rounds of bowling against each other, with Dakota being crowned the victor in the end.

Then they all went off to do their own thing, Dakota started with making drinks for everyone.

Clive had a real good time dancing!

Dakota and Asher chatted for a bit before Dakota went to play some games against Kiley, who ended up winning.

Second Elimination | Part 2

We return to Rory and Clive getting their roses, their places swapped from last time, though they're pretty close in relationship level with Dakota. Dakota likes them both well enough, but neither seem to make too much of an effort to connect with him, while Dakota's been drifting towards the others.

Still, they have another week to build up those relationship scores! It's just a matter of if they're willing to fight for their place in the competition.

On the other hand, while Lucky did pursue Dakota, it eventually came down to the fact that Dakota didn't seem to reciprocate the interest in the end, and negative moodlets and sentiments were starting to form.

Obviously he was pretty bummed about having to leave, but Dakota gave him a few words of encouragement before he went to pack his bags.

I'm so sad to see him go! Lucky was such a delight to have in the ranch and his entry into the competition made me so excited to see where he'd go and what he'd do. He's such a charming lil guy and I love him, we'll definitely miss him around here!
