Welcome to Gaudy Shore!

Power, fame, wealth— for decades, Sims have come to Gaudy Shore seeking fortune. On the outside, the glitz and glamour are dazzling, but the dark, seedy underbelly of the city casts a long shadow. Will these families shine bright, or will the shadow swallow them up?

Featuring 12 households, Gaudy Shore sees the return of some much beloved and missed families from Sims 1! Set 25 years in the future, this hood can be played as a companion hood to Pleasantview, or on its own.

Every family has their own storytelling album so make sure to check them out!

Keeping reading to learn about the families in Gaudy Shore!

Returning families:

The Mashuga Family

Content to dance the night away, - every night, for decades, - Frankie and Sylvia Marie have taken a hands-off approach to raising their children. Now that they're in their twilight years, what are their kids willing to do to get what they believe is owed to them?

The Hick-Charming Family

Elden only ever wanted what was best for his family, but somehow got himself involved in shady dealings. Charleigh is young and full of life, but will that get her into trouble with the boys? And will Clarke ever leave her bedroom?

The Jones-Smith Family

The Jones-Smith family has been a pillar of the community for decades, and the death of Chris has sent everyone reeling. Nick has vowed to honor his mother by setting his career aside to focus on his family, but that's easier said than done.

Michelle loves to dance, sing, and drink the night away, especially after the death of Mama Chris. Is her new interest in the town magnate genuine, or just another way to extend the party?

New Families:

The Banks Family

Rich, powerful, beautiful— the Banks family is known throughout town for everything beauty-related. Obsessed with only herself, will Arie uncover her husband's secrets? Lux thinks of himself as a good man, but is he really? Will Benjamin choose to follow his heart or his mind?

The Ramoz Family

Nora has always dreamt of being a famous movie star but has found mild success in the writing and voice acting world. Can that be enough for her, or will she strive for bigger and better things? Julien had his heart broken by his two best friends in the world. Can he ever forgive them? And will Carlos find himself involved in the shady underbelly of Gaudy Shore?

The Ermírio de Moraes Family

Wealthy, powerful, lonely, José has it all… except love. Is he blind to reality, or is this new relationship the real deal?

The Jenkins Family

Naive, sheltered Alyssa has lived her life under the strict thumb of her mother, Miriam. Will she be willing to ruin someone else's life to get the love and affection she's always desperately craved?

The Nelle Family

Quiet and reclusive, only a few Sims in town really know the Nelle family, but it doesn't take a genius to notice that something isn't quite right with them.

The Waltzman Family

Ever the partier, Wesley finally grew up and changed his outlook on life, but this has left him a little over protective of his sister, Wilma. Will he ruin her chances at happiness? And will he find love despite his ties to another?

Heartbroken for years, Wilma has finally gotten over her first love… or has she? She just met Donovan, but will her wandering eye lead her to her family's demise?

Four strangers living under one roof and a fresh divorce. Can Walda and Walter Waltzman get along after their divorce, or will they disrupt the perfect harmony Ines and Fernando Ermírio de Moraes have enjoyed for decades?

______________________________________________________________

Gaudy Shore features 12 playable households, 20 community lots, 3 apartment buildings, and 10 empty houses all built by me , except for Cafe Petit, a lot bin cafe (I like to think of it as a chain). Terrain also made by me. The hood comes with its own unique townies and strays; a few townies even own and work at some of the business around town!

This hood is not CC free but it isn't a lot

CC that I didn't use a lot of and the hood is fine without:

Wire Fencing by Cyclonesue on TSR

Stair Wall Fix by JRW on MTS

Photos & Plaques Hide with Walls Down by Numenor on MTS I used A LOT OF PICTURES taken with the career reward camera and the walls are very cluttered with photos, so I do recommend this mod.

Diagonal 3t2 Bungalow Windows by Nysha on MTS

Natural De Fences by Rosebine on MTS

CEP by Numenor on MTS

CC that will alter the hood significantly:

Bespoke Build Set by Bespoke on MTS

Shiftable Everything by Lamare on MTS

______________________________________________________________

I've been working on this hood on and off for a long time now, and I'm so happy that it's finally finished. It is definitely a labor of love and I hope you enjoy it <3 While Gaudy Shore was originally intended to be a subhood to complement Pleasantview, there are no ties to PV at all and can be played on its own. Please make sure to check out all the story images I included, I had a lot of fun taking them! For those adding the hood as a subhood, José, Michelle, and the Waltzman kids have which apartments they are supposed to be in at the end of their bios. And for the retirement home, I left it as a normal residential lot, but can also be converted into an apartment lot, or you can maybe use dorm doors, or mods to set each apartment to the correct Sim.

I have also gone through every Sim to set their intended names across all languages, so if your game is not in English, the Sims should still have the names I gave them!

Thank you to everyone that helped me along the way and play tested the hood for me, I really appreciate you <3

Download Mainhood || Mediafire Box

Download Subhood || Mediafire Box

If the names got scrambled, you can use this program from MTS to fix them, it's really easy! Can also be used to fix any other neighborhoods that get messed up :)

Please let me know if the subhood version works as intended and does not yeet itself out of the game, test on a testhood!

Edit: Only download ONE version at a time.

The Art of Being Seen - a Nancy Landgraab story

୧‿̩͙ ˖︵ ꕀ⠀ ♱⠀ ꕀ ︵˖ ‿̩͙୨

𝔓𝔞𝔯𝔱 𝔒𝔫𝔢 - 𝔜𝔬𝔲𝔱𝔥

Prev / Next

AN / Transcript under the cut

AN: Nancy's story will consist of 3 parts: Part One- Youth | Part Two - Uni | Part Three - Wife Three pivotal moments in Nancy’s life that shaped the Nancy we know today.

As mentioned in the prologue, this story may contain mature and possibly even uncomfy themes and all posts will have their corresponding trigger warners in the post as well as the tags. Trigger Warnings are: Homophobia / Religious Trauma / Death via Car Accident/ Drugs / Alcohol / Infidelity / Sex & Nudity

Also, I have experienced CAS burnout lately, so I aged down most of the townies to teens lol. I figured this version of Cassandra Goth can be the AU version since I’ve already wrote Bella and Morti Goth into my Briar legacy, which this story is apart of that universe.

Transcript:

Cassie: This is Blair Hall, the senior girls’ dorm, and if you ask me, it’s the best one. We have our own private library. Down there is the rec room; we’re not allowed to have the boys over unless it’s with a chaperone.

Cassie: We’re also the closest to the church, which is great for when we have group sessions before service. You won’t have to rush and scarf down breakfast, plus you can sleep in a little!

Nancy: [sarcastically] Gee, how’d I get so lucky?

Cassie: Sister Agnes always says, It’s not luck—it’s a blessing! Vacancies are hard to come by. My old roomie withdrew; she had a really hard time fitting in with the other girls. They can be... kind of intense.

Dina: Oh, look. Another pretty blonde rich girl. Like those aren’t a dime a dozen here.

Nina: [scoffs] Here we go...

Dina: I am not joking. I better not catch her ass around Don. The last hoochie he was tonguing down was also a skinny, flat-chested, blonde bimbo.

Vanessa: You need to put his weenie in a cage instead of fighting every girl that breathes the same air as him.

Dina: Well, he wouldn’t be tempted if these floozies would stay away from my man!

Vanessa: I guess dyeing your hair blonde isn’t working for you, huh?

Dina: Oh, shut it, VV. You’re just jealous he isn’t into redheads.

Nina: Hmm, I thought he was into redheads though.

Dina: Ugh, as if!

Cassie: You can pretty much decorate your space however you want. Just nothing that’s on the prohibited list. There’s a room check every night before curfew, and-

Nancy: What do you know about that redhead on the balcony?

Cassie: Dina?

Nancy: No, she said her name was Vanessa. I ran into her this morning but she didn’t mention her last name.

Cassie: Oh, yeah! VV. Vanessa Villareal. She’s- eh, one of the mean girls. I try to stay out their way. Probably best you do the same.

Nancy: [softly to herself] Villareal. So, she’s old money, too.

Cassie: Her family built the school. Guess that’s why she feels like she can do whatever she wants- eh, don’t tell anyone I said that!

Cassie: But, erm, you’re welcome to hang out with me and my friends during rec and lunch and stuff. I know how tough it can, being the new girl and all.

Nancy: Yeah? ...thanks- Cassie, was it?

Cassie: You’ll totally like my friends. They’re the coolest people on Earth.

Cassie: Definitely better than some people. You can tell who goes here because of their faith and who was forced here because of their lack of it.

Cassie: Hey guys! This is Nancy, she’s my new roomie.

Bob: No way, they filled Angela’s spot already? Money talks. I’m Bob, or Bobby, and this cool, tall drink of water is Geoffrey. Welcome to Paradise.

Bob: [whispers] Geoffrey! Say something to the pretty girl!

Geoffrey: [voice cracks] W-we’ve um, met already.

Geoffrey: Our dad’s are friends. I just haven’t seen her since we were 10 years old. She looks so... different.

Bob: Oh, I seeee. First love? Your ears are beet red, my man.

Bob: Take a seat, newbie! Are you into D&D, perchance?

Nancy: I have no idea what that is.

Bob: Oh, ho ho! You’re in for a treat, m’lady. I’ll catch you up from the beginning of our campaign.

Vanessa: You look so bored. Want to get out of here, new girl?

Vanessa: Don’t worry, I’ll return you back to your nerds in one piece.

Cassie: [grumbles] Um, hello, we’re sitting right here?

Nancy: Go where, exactly? This place is in the middle of nowhere.

Vanessa: Guess you’ll have to come and find out.

Nancy VO: [I learned then, that I would follow her anywhere]

Dina: There she goes, taking in another stray.

Nancy VO: [All she had to do was take my hand]

[cowplant-snacks]

I felt like making a collection of tips and tricks that I’ve learned over the last year since starting a Simblr.

No EXTRAS in the shot please! - When taking screenshots I recommend placing extra teleporters out of the way of pics to pull townies or pets, etc… out when they walk into frame.

Invisible Wall - I use Bakie’s invisible wall to block off stages or other places I don’t want sims to gather. If I need any sims on the other side of the wall, I just use the teleporter to get them there.

TOOL - you can move props, like plants etc…, and even move posed sims with this tool. So handy!

WW - you can moved posed sims and place items from build & buy mode without the posed sims resetting!! But I have found it doesn’t work with all the sim ages. (makes sense!)

SAVE AS - Sometimes while working on a harder or maybe just a more chaotic scene, I do a save as so I can pop back in at that exact moment and get more shots, if needed. This way it doesn’t also mess up the timeline with my gameplay.

RESHADE - I have different versions of my reshade saved and tweaked for taking shots at night or in darker lighting.

TAB Mode - I recommend exploring shots from different angles after entering tab mode. And I recommend tweaking your camera settings using this or this.

Reblogs or comments with additional tips and tricks welcomed and encouraged!

My 𝐓𝐨𝐩 24 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 from 2024🎉

Thanks @theplottdump for the tag, mwah! <3

-> tagging @kissalopa @sharona-sims @limeysims @mosneakers @eurosimmer @waaneco @pixelshary @pudsim @polarmoon @butteredfrogs @simsfvr @whyeverr @buildbuymode @zorteh @philodendrontrait @kazroze @marcishaun @nervousgnome @charsimsalot @enchantsims (sorry if you've been tagged/done this already! and no pressure if you dont want/can't do it, just have fun ˙ᵕ˙ ) and anyone whose my dummy brain forgot, please feel free to do so if you want too ♡

I don't have screenshots for every month unfortunately, (i took an almost two year break and came back to the game for real around april of this year) so this will be just 24 random screenshots i love (in no particular order). Not much happens in my game because i don't interfere that much, but i hope this isn't too boring heh

The usual Realm of Magic shenanigans: distracting Simeon from his job, fangirling over L. Faba, and old man being old.

Ellie's house renovation was my favorite thing to decorate over the months. I'm always adding things to it, and by things i mean frogs. All of the frogs.

Her garden is also my favorite place to be. Sometimes i just like to watch the bunnies running around, the grass moving, the birds chirping... and then i remember the game is running. It's really nice though.

Change doesn't happen very often in my game, but something cute sparked between these two after i decided to stop constantly ignoring and re-rolling her wants. I'm not gonna say much about it cause - and i know it's not that serious - i'm still processing it two months later lol, maybe one day...

Life and Death was so much fun, Ravenwood is now my favorite world to visit! I had no plans of getting the pack anytime soon, so i still can't believe i got to play with it when it released (thanks little fairy ♡)

Some of my favorite edits i've done this year. Apart from Ellie's shot (which was taken with no reshade on a day the game had some crazy good lighting), the others were done while i was trying to learn some stuff from one of my favorite editor's (strange-townie) speed edit videos. I hope i get more time this year to practice and learn more! (before & after album)

Favorite pictures of Ellie's best friends: old goofy lvl. 1 wizard relaxing in his new home & the unbothered rebel sage.

This year i also got to play with my favorite nerdy gamer boy. He was just a sim from a cas practice thing i did. I don't usually get attached to random sims i make, but for some reason he was just very special to me ( ꈍ ᴗ ꈍ ) ♡

I wanted to end this by saying i'm very grateful for everything i have experienced this year, and the warm welcome i've received. I'm really happy some people like my silly saturated pictures :D i promise next year i'll annoyingly fangirl and obsess over other people's lovely creations even more, so thanks for making this place such an inspiring one to be ♡ Happy holidays!◝( ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ )◜₊ ⊹₊ ⊹

New Beginnings Masterlist

Welcome to Litchton, North Carolina! Population: 2, 358 "North Carolina's own little slice of Heaven."

Trevor Zegras wants a boring, drama-free summer with his friends. He and his friends rent a house in Litchton for thirteen weeks and find themselves fascinated by the town and its inhabitants. After a chance meeting their first day in town, Trevor finds himself enchanted by a mysterious and beautiful townie named Honey. He'll do anything he can to win her over– and he will win her over, even if she acts like she couldn't care less about his existence.

As for Honey, she's got a past she'd rather not rehash. She's spent the past five years in Litchton, living in her parents' old vacation house. She's inserted herself into the community and made a home here, the only place where she's ever felt like she can truly be herself. The appearance of five new boys in Litchton throws everything awry, especially Trevor's persistent efforts to win Honey over.

(note: all this graphic does is depict Honey and Bea as i(!!!!!!) see them. if you want to envision yourself as honey, go for it! if you want bea to look like your best friend, good! i never actually describe their features in the fic, so use your imagination!)

Back in Main Side Plott central it's time for a Bebe to be born!

Kale: oh 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠.

Oh fuck indeed.

Kale: 𝘜𝘩𝘩𝘩. Mom? What's all this?

Hinoki: Happy Birth-Day Baby!

Hinoki decided to go with a tropical theme for the birth, and even threw a big Life and Death™ (of Townie Dave) Kava Party downstairs.

Kale: Like I know what I did to deserve this, but it's still an unnecessarily cruel move by the Watcher.

Kale: Mom- I feel stupid. Hinoki: You don't look stupid baby! Do you know how long it took for me to find a third trimester belly shaped pool floatie?

Kale: Shouldn't we call the doctor or something? Hinoki: Oh baby, why do you think Kyle came along? Kale: 𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦.

Kyle: Don't worry Cabbagebro, I'm great with kids! 😀

Townie Dave: Hey - You doing ok? Kale: No. My mom's a psychopath.

Townie Dave: I think she loves you a lot. Kale: I think she's overcompensating for abandoning me for my whole childhood. Townie Dave: You know- that makes sense.

Townie Dave: You ready for this? Kale: Are you?

Kale: 𝙁𝙐𝘾𝙆 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙈𝙊𝘿𝘿𝘿𝘿𝘿-

It's a boy! And not the son of Satan either! Welcome to the Family Tree 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘁! 🥳🎉

And just like that Hinoki is off to take her warpath somewhere else.

Townie Dave: You're not sticking around? Hinoki: Watcher no Darling! Kale: She hates babies. And toddlers. And children.

Hinoki: Got lots to do. Places to be, busy busy. Kale: Mom- are you scheming? Hinoki: Me? 𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳. Besides Cauliflower, we're not to that part of the story yet. ;)

Hinoki: But I'm sure you and the townie- Townie Dave: Uh, Dave. Hinoki: Nono that's okay dear. I'm sure you'll both do just as fabulously without me.

Toni: I guess if I'm ever in Del Sol I'll look you up? Kyle: Bet. And make sure the Watcher lets you live a little. Life isn't just University Homework and grinding for skills. There's also Pop Ups and Random Phone calls and Satisfaction Points. Toni: I do have a couple things on my bucket list…

Kyle: Good luck Toni. You're a lot cooler than you think. Toni: Catch me on the flipside? Kyle: Catch you later. 🧡

Create-A-Sim Roulette

Hello fellow simmers!! Here’s a challenge for you all to give a try! We (myself and SimGuruMelo) pulled together a challenge that allows simmers to create a new sim or townie without the struggle of having to find new ideas. It is recommended that you use a random number generator to roll. Custom Content is also highly recommended as this allows for more creative freedom.

Rules:

1. You can only roll once unless otherwise specified (plumbob = how many rolls)

2. Overlays, Face Masks, and Full Body Masks are allowed. I understand how frustrating it can be to have a plain looking sim without skin details.

3. Facial features are completely up to the creator (eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, jaw, chin, forehead shapes)

4. Color is not specific to one shade. Each color can follow a spectrum. For example, brown does not have to mean 🤎. You are more than welcome to use different shades of color.

5. Body types are similar to hair and eye color. They can fall under a spectrum of different sizes. We will leave this up to the creator.

6. Traits and Aspirations are up to the creator. We recommend going based off of the Aesthetic and appearance of your new sim.

7. If you do not have content for a specific topic (it’s time to go cc shopping) you may re-roll.

8. You are not limited to what can be used.

9. Makeup, Accessories, Hats, and Jewelry are up to the creator.

10. Please keep your sims SFW when sharing on social media.

11. Only everyday outfit is required.

12. Take full advance of Creator’s Choice! This is your opportunity to express your own style within the challenge.

13. NO CHEATING! Keep it honest. It makes the game and experience super fun and unique.

14. HAVE FUN! Be creative and think outside the box. This opens up a realm of townies that can live in your save file and interact with your sims. You can even give them fun and interesting storylines.

15. Share and tag #simscasroulette so we can see all your gorgeous sims!

HERE'S AN EXAMPLE

[collegetennisoriginstory]

Idk if u have played stardew valley but if you have who would the ROs romance / want to romance?

This is such a fun ask, I had a blast researching and thinking about the question, so thank you!

So, I've not played stardew valley but I've heard so many things and I really have to sit down and play it one of these days!! From the premise alone, I REALLY, REALLY want to write an IF with a similar game mechanic, set in a sci-fi or fantasy universe, where you run your own tavern/restaurant/diner and get to go fishing/fix up your house etc. while romancing the townies.

Anyway, I read this article on Stardew valley love interests, and this is my best attempt! Additional theories super welcome because yall's guesses will probably be much more well-informed than mine!

Under the cut, cause it got LONG.

Sam: Sebastian

Apparently Sebastian also has a friend named Sam whom he opens up to?? Also the trope of a slightly reserved/withdrawn person warming up to a sunshiny chaotic best friend who's always there for them (and making them laugh) is too good to resist. I do feel like Sam's the kind of person who likes meeting new people and making new friends, but ultimately, they always end up falling in love with the people whom they've known for a long time and have the deepest relationship with.

Tobin: Harvey or Emily

Emily: I feel like Tobin would match really well with someone who's full of zest for life, and who can match their fun-loving, sweet side and add even more color & energy to it! Also I read that they DANCE and COOK and that's just absolutely up Tobin's alley. I can imagine Tobin coming back from a big tennis match and just... hanging out in the kitchen and dancing/listening to music with Emily. I said before that Tobin wants someone who can build a home and a hearth with them, and Emily honestly sounds like that person.

(Also that person Emily's talking to in the screenshot absolutely looks like they could be Tobin.)

Harvey: I feel like they'd be so romantic and happy and cozy together, and as I said before, I think Tobin tends to want to take care of their loved ones and shower love everywhere but it's about time someone did the same for them! Also if anything I can see Tobin really gelling with someone a little older, because of their boomer lifestyle habits (waking up early/sleeping early, aversion to spending too much time online, and going to the library).

Rayyan: Maru

The moment I read "quietly passionate" and "brilliant scientist", I knew this person was for Rayyan! They both understand what it means to pursue excellence and push the current limits of human achievement in their respective fields (and would absolutely support each other in these dreams. I'm imagining Maru cheering Rayyan on at a game and Rayyan helping Maru test out her inventions?)

Also family's a complex, yet important aspect of life for both of them (and there's definitely a parallel with Maru's dad trying to keep her from being her own person, Rayyan sort of feels like their dad doesn't quite approve of their desire to be a pro tennis player) , so they'd get each other on that front too.

Sidenote: "Come to my room if you want to tinker with my gadgets???" Umm....

G: Abigail

Abigail: I think G would instantly be super attracted to Abigail's unorthodox, adventurous spirit, and if there's anything that's G's kryptonite? It's exploring random places (like graveyards/rooftops/mines) and doing new things. They'd probably bring Abigail on some really cool adventures too! And eventually, their relationship would deepen into something that goes beyond 'adventuring', into mutual respect and love, especially as they both start opening up to each other more.

(P.S. It just so happened that the top few love interests mentioned were female)

Ain't no sunshine.

Summary: Joel didn't know how to feel about Jackson...that is until he met you. (Joel x Baker/Maker!Reader)

Rating: M

Word Count: 7.4k

Content: 18+ content, Minors DNI. PnV, swearing, dirty talk, possessive Joel, spit kink? kinda...a hint of degradation.

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

Tommy found you out by yourself in the next town over.

You had been by yourself for a while after your previous group had been ripped to shreds by a hoard. You being the only survivor. Ironically. 

Almost everyone in Jackson had taken a liking to you, Tommy and Maria especially. There were always the few who didn't like anyone for no good reason at all. You mostly worked at the bar, or you did some of the patrols when others couldn’t. Working at the bar caused many to talk for hours with you, hence why so many of the people in Jackson love you. You’re just so easy going, vibrant, kind hearted.  

You had been living in Jackson for quite a while before Joel had come back from Salt Lake City, never meeting him when he stopped there to try and dump Ellie on his brother. When he came back with Ellie, he wasn’t expecting such a warm welcome from the town. Especially not expecting a knock on his new front door and baked goods being shoved into his arms by you. Gorgeous, bright, all smiles. 

You had brought over a welcome basket for the two new townies. You bake on the side, the best in town...well the only one in town who really bakes all the time. You made plenty of goodies for them, from cookies all the way to a baked homemade cake. You even threw a bag of coffee in the basket, hearing from Tommy how much he loves the substance.

You were probably the only one who had it, never sharing it with anyone, besides Tommy and Maria, because of how hard it is to come by, but you wanted to be nice to one of Tommy’s relatives, since he brought you in and saved you from being alone.  

“Hi,” Your eyes brightened when seeing just how attractive the older man was.  

Joel’s eyebrows furrowed at the sight of you, heart skipping a beat at your smile, “Uh..hello?” 

“Joel, right? Tommy’s brother?” You asked, already knowing the answer but wanting to ease into a conversation. 

Joel nods his head as he looks at the semi-heavy basket in your arms.

You smile yet again, “I brought you and your kid a little housewarming gift.” 

Joel snorted, “Little?”  

You smile bashfully, a small blush runs across your nose, “Mhhm.” 

Joel reaches for the large basket, eyes scanning over the many delicious treats you provided for him and Ellie, “You didn’t have to do all this.” 

You waved him off, “No biggie. I bake all the time or at least for whoever is willing to try my goods.” 

Joel coughed at your choice of words, “Yeah,” he choked out, “Uh well, thank ya. I 'ppreciate this.” 

You nod your head, “Anytime, you ever need anything I’m just a few houses down,” you pointed at a small blue house down the road, “Have a good night Joel and welcome to Jackson.” You give him one more smile before turning and heading back to your small home. 

Joel calls out a soft goodnight to you as he slowly watches you walk off; he stays like that until you get to your house and inside safely. He backs into his house and closes the door, walking to the kitchen and setting the basket on the table. He slowly unpacks everything, scoffing at the ridiculous amount of baked goods you baked for them before freezing at the bag you threw in just for him. He opens the bag and smells it, groaning at how good the coffee smells. He had to repay you.  

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

Joel had asked Tommy about you. Not getting a name from you the other night, so he tried his best to describe you. 

Tommy threw up his eyebrows in question, “What about her?” 

Joel chewed on his bottom lip, shifting his feet, “You know her?” 

“Of course I do, she’s mine and Maria’s favorite.” 

Joel nods, “What’s her name?” 

Tommy sends him a knowing look before saying your name. 

Joel nods again, “She like anythin’ in particular?” 

“Why? You wanna swoon her or somethin’?” 

Joel shakes his head this time, “No, no. Stop that. She jus’ gave us this big basket full of treats as a welcome gift, even gave me a bag of coffee. Jus’ wanna give somethin’ back as a thank you or whatever.” 

Tommy’s eyes bulge out of his head when Joel mentioned you giving him coffee, “She gave you a bag of her coffee?!” 

“Yeah?” 

“Whew, she must like you. She rarely ever shares her bags, she does with Maria and I because, well, we’re her favorites.”  

Joel rolled his eyes at Tommy, “Don’t be stupid. She was jus’ bein' nice.” 

You were way too pretty for him, Joel thought. There was no way you could be into a man like him when you looked like that. Besides, when you find out how much of a grump he is, would you really stay with that? 

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

You were working a night shift for the night, only a few people littered the room that night. Very slow. 

Tommy had begged Joel to go see their bar, “C’mon. Only a few beers. I promise.” 

Joel reluctantly agreed, “Yeah, whatever,” 

Walking in, you call over your shoulder, “That better be you Tommy, you promised you would come and save me from this long boring shift of mine.” 

Joel gulped at the sight of you, you made him nervous. 

“It is, I brought a guest if that’s okay,” Tommy said back to you. 

Your back was still turned to them, “Is it Maria?” 

“No, a slight downgrade I’m afraid,” Tommy jokingly said. 

Joel sends a glare his way as you turn around. 

At the sight of him your smile widens, Joel’s feels his heart beat out of his chest. 

“Hi Joel,” you say sweetly, putting Tommy’s usual on the bar.  

Joel nods his head at you, “Hi.” His hands were sweating.  

“What can I get you?” 

“Whatever my little brother’s havin' s’fine,” he tells you.  

You nod and turn your back to them once more before turning back and setting his drink down on the bar. 

“Here ya go sugar,” you said. 

Joel can feel a slight blush rising on his neck from the nickname, “Thank ya.” 

He takes a sip from his drink and slightly grimaces, you laugh, “It’s not the best but he drinks it.” 

Joel turns to Tommy, “You drink this shit?” 

Tommy shrugs, “It ain’t that damn bad.” 

Joel shakes his head and slides the beer to his brother, “What else you got?” 

You smile once again, “What do you like?” 

Joel shrugs, “I ain’t picky but somethin’ that doesn’t taste like that shit,” he says as he points at his brother’s drink.  

You laugh as you bend down under the bar counter, grabbing a special kind of whiskey that you helped make, “I got somethin’ for ya.” 

Tommy watches as she pulls up the good whiskey, “Ain’t no way.” 

Joel’s eyebrows furrowed, “What?” 

Tommy shakes his head with a small grin, “She’s giving you the good shit big brother. Hell, she rarely lets me have some of that.” 

You shake your head, grinning, “Now Tommy, Joel is new here, so he needs to try the whiskey I made.” 

Joel looks at her surprised, “You made it?” 

You nod, “I helped make it, I won’t take all the credit, but I am the one who made the recipe and the only one who knows it.” 

You slide him a glass of your whiskey, he raises it to his lips for a sip. He’s pleasantly surprised at the taste, “Oh wow...this is nice.” 

Tommy nods his head, “She won’t make a new batch until that one is gone. She doesn’t ever share her recipes with anyone, not even Maria and I. Whiskey, cookies, brownies. Hell, whenever she runs out of her supplies, we put that on the top of the need list. She’s just good with her hands at just about everything.” 

You blush, “Oh stop. They’re alright.” 

Joel shakes his head in disagreement, “Nah I ain’t ever had a treat like the ones you made Ellie and me. You have a real talent.”  

You smile at his kind words, “Well thank ya, just let me know if you run out and I'll make some more. Maybe even suggest a few things you like.” 

Joel nods, before bringing up a certain bag, “And I wanna thank ya for the coffee, I haven’t had a cup of coffee in a while and I...if there’s ever anythin' you need jus’ let me know. I’m not a baker but I am a handyman, or if you need more supplies, I’m sure Tommy’ll let me go out and get it for you.” He rambled on. 

“Well, that’s generous of you but you don’t have to do that Joel,” you smile at him, “I wanted to give you that coffee and goods as a welcome gift.” 

Joel nods, “Well yea but Tommy said you don’t give your coffee to just anybody, so...jus’ let me know okay?” 

You nodded, “Alright,” you turn to Tommy, “Stop makin’ me sound stingy.” 

Tommy holds his hands up in surrender, “I ain’t, I ain’t,” 

Joel lets out a chuckle as he sips on his drink, humming as it goes down smoothly.

You tend to the rest of the people at the bar as the shift goes on, stopping to talk to the two men every so often. Refilling Joel’s glass a couple of times despite his protest. 

“Alright, yer gonna get me drunk if ya don’t stop,” Joel tells you., his southern drawl getting thicker.

You laugh, “Alright.” 

Tommy was a few beers in, slightly tipsy, “You know, I think I should head out. Joel, you stay as long as you want.” 

Joel nods his head, he was a little buzzed and not really wanting to leave the pretty woman behind the bar, “Alright little brother, head home safe. Tell Maria I’m sad she missed out on tonight.” 

Tommy waves him off as he steps out of the bar, Joel turns to look around. It was just him and her in there, “When do you usually close up shop?” 

“Around this time,” you say as you wipe down the counter. 

“Am I holdin’ you up? I can go-” 

“No, no,” you stop his words with a smile, “I don’t have to do much since it was a slow day, I’m almost done.” 

Joel nods, “Alright, we can walk out together then.” 

You finish up closing and grab your things, Joel stands up from his stool and walks beside you holding the door open for you to walk out first. What a gentleman. 

You lock the doors behind both of you and head off in the direction of your homes.  

“You likin’ Jackson so far?” You question him. 

Joel nods his head, “Yeah, it’s alright. Jus’ tryin' to find my way here.” 

You nod your head in response, “It’s gonna turn out okay, this a great place for you and your little girl.” 

Joel nods his head at your words, “Yeah, I know it is...especially since one of our neighbors is a bakin’ goddess” 

You laugh at his words, tipping your head back, “I don’t know about the goddess part.” 

“I do,” Joel says as he lightly smiles at you.  

Your smile slightly turns into a shy one, blush spreading across your face. You both stop in front of your front door. 

“Well this is me, thank you for walking me home,” you look up at him, his frame hovering over you. 

“Of course,” Joel tells you, “I...I’ll uh...see you around then?” 

You nod, “Of course.” 

“Alright then..goodnight,” he says as he slowly starts backing away from you towards his house. 

“Goodnight Joel,” you shoot him one more small smile before heading inside. 

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

Joel thinks about you more than he’d like to admit.  

Your soft smile and plump lips, your soft shiny hair and the way you talk. You are by far the sweetest person he’s ever met, and that was one thing he loved about you. You are more than happy to help everyone that asks for it.  

Like today, you were filling in for the person who was supposed to go with Joel on patrol and Joel couldn’t be happier. He likes spending time with you, even if it’s for a short amount of time.  

He waits for you by the stables, petting the two horses he grabbed for the both of you. Tommy watches him from afar when an idea springs into his mind, he walks over to his older brother. 

“Big brother,” Tommy said in greeting. 

“Hey Tommy,” Joel said without looking up from the horses. 

“I have some bad news,” Tommy began to say, and Joel started to frown. 

Did you back out on patrol with him? 

“Maria says we’re short on horses and need to be lenient on how many we send out at a time, I’m afraid I can only let you take one horse out.” 

Joel frowns at his words but inside he’s excited to share a horse with you, have you pressed up against his back, arms around him.  

“Alrigh’, shouldn’t be a problem then,” Joel said as he hands one of the horses off to Tommy and sees you walking towards him.  

“G’mornin Tommy!” You said with a cheery tone. 

“Good morning sunshine,” Tommy said with a chuckle. 

You turn to Joel with an even brighter smile, “Good morning sugar.” 

“G’mornin’ darlin’.” 

You blush at the nickname, “So, where’s my horse?”  

Tommy chuckles while leading the other one away, Joel furrowing his eyebrows at his little brother, “Tommy said we’re short on horses, so we can only take one out with us.” 

You shake your head at Tommy’s words, you know damn well there were plenty of horses, but that doesn’t stop you from going along with it, “Alright, then I guess we’re sharing buckaroo.” 

Joel shakes his head at the nickname with a smile, he climbs and mounts the horses reaching a hand down to you to help pull you up onto the horse. You wrap your arms around his mid-section, causing an eruption of butterflies in his stomach.  

You both were checking out the furthest part of the patrol paths, horseback was the obvious smart option. Riding in silence, you watched the trees from above you. Joel would shoot a glance back at you every so often, trying his best to not get caught. 

You both came to a stop in front of a path that consisted of a few abandoned houses. You hop off the horse first and head into the first house, checking each of the rooms and then signing your name in the book. You walk back outside and nod at Joel. You both did that for the remaining houses while making small talk. 

“You okay on supplies?” Joel asked you. You hadn’t made him any more goods in a while and he was slightly craving them, plus your attention. 

“Yeah, I’m okay. I still have plenty,” you tell him with a small smile. 

Joel kind of deflates at your words, he doesn’t want to flat out ask for them, “Alrigh’.” 

You notice the shift in behavior, “You okay?” 

Joel snaps his head at you while clearing his throat, “Yeah...yeah. ‘M alright.”  

You smile, kind of knowing what he’s hinting at, “You wanting more of my baked goods Joel?” 

Joel sheepishly smiles at you, making you laugh a genuine laugh. 

“What all are you wanting?” You ask him. 

“Uh, ‘m not sure. Whatever you wanna make me...us,” he corrected himself. 

You nod your head as you both head back to the horse, already finishing up the path, “Alright then, as soon as we get back, I’ll get started on it for you sugar.” 

Joel blushes, “Alrigh’,” he’ll never get tired of that pet name.  

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

You both made it back to Jackson safely, heading to the stables to put the horse up. Tommy was around chatting with some of Jackson’s residents and watched the two ride in. He excused himself to walk over to you two. 

“Well, how did it go?” Tommy smirked. 

You shoot him a look, “It went well, nothing out of place and no infected.” 

Tommy chuckled, “That all?” 

Joel grunts in annoyance, “Yes Tommy, what else would there be?” 

You and Tommy chuckle in unison. 

Joel looks at you with a questioning look, you smile at him, “Tommy lied about the horses.” 

Joel looked back at Tommy, “Huh?” 

Tommy was not surprised you caught on; he shrugged his shoulders at his big brother. 

“Alright boys, I have to go start baking,” you say as you back towards your house, “I’ll see you both later.” 

Joel nodded his head, still thinking about what you said. You knew but still decided to ride a horse with him. He’ll have to ask you about that later. 

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

You walked into your small humble home and started getting out all your ingredients to make Joel plenty of baked goodies.  

You go to turn your oven on, but it wouldn’t turn on? 

You kept messing with it but eventually groaned in frustration. How will you bake for Joel? Unless... 

You smile to yourself as you get a basket out of your pantry and start loading up all the ingredients you’ll be needing.  

Stepping out of the house, you make your way down the road and to Joel’s house. Heading up his porch stairs you find yourself in front of his front door. 

Knock 

Knock 

The front door stays closed for just a few seconds before you see Joel’s handsome face. He’s surprised to see you already but looks down and sees the basket that didn’t have treats in it but the ingredients for them. 

“Hey?” Joel says, it comes out as a question, “You makin’ me bake my own treats this time?” 

You shake your head with a small laugh, “No sugar. My oven isn’t workin’, so I thought it would be okay if I came over here and made them?” 

Joel nods his head, “Of course, yeah...let me take that from you,” he grabs the basket out of your small arms and nods his head for you to enter his house. You walk in and head into the small kitchen, you start rummaging through his cabinets for bowls to mix in, finding a few that were suitable. 

“I ain’t got much for bakin’,” Joel starts to mumble to you, but you wake him off. 

“That’s alright, I brought over all the stuff. Just need a few bowls,” you turned his oven on and started heating it up, “You wanna help me? Or just watch?” You send a wink his way causing him to smile with a slight blush. 

Joel walks slowly over to where you were, “What do you need me to do darlin’?” 

You were the one blushing now. 

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

A couple of hours go by, and you both successfully made a few batches of cookies and brownies. The only thing left that was baking was a pumpkin loaf, which you swore to Joel was the best thing ever. He wasn’t the biggest fan of pumpkin, but he didn’t mind. You said it was your favorite, so he had to try it. 

“Alright, I successfully destroyed your kitchen. Let me clean up a bit before I go,” you tell him. 

He doesn’t want you to go, “Uh....would you...” he starts to say but he goes quiet. 

You look at him patiently, “Yes Joel?” 

He looks up at you almost bashfully, “Would you like to stay for dinner? Since you baked for me, I can..uh..cook for you?” 

You beamed at him, “That would be lovely! I just want to wash up a bit before, I also have a bottle of wine I've been savin’, this is perfect for that.” 

Joel nods at you with a smile, “Alright, let me help you clean up then.” 

You washed and he dried, talking about the simple things.  

He loved coffee and playing the guitar. Back before this time, he loved a good ride around town, the view green of trees and backroads never got old to him. He also admitted to loving action movies, but he was a sucker for romance. He had you swear you wouldn’t tell anyone, which you simply laugh and held up your pinky. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. 

“C’mon, give me your pinky! Please tell me you know what a pinky promise is?” 

Of course he does, Sarah had him pinky promise a lot of things. Never understanding the significance of it but he did it for her, nonetheless. He just didn’t know you did them. 

“Of course I do, but I didn’t know a grown woman still did them,” Joel says to you playfully, he hooks his pinky with yours. His finger was humongous compared to yours, engulfing it completely. 

“I’ll have you know Mr. Miller, is that I take pinky promises seriously. I never break them,” you swore to him.  

Joel nods his head with a loving smile, “Alright then.” 

Pinkies still clasped together, you smiled at him. His heart is beating like a drum at the sight of you. Standing in his kitchen, flour on your blouse, some of it scattered along your nose, smiling up at him with the most gorgeous smile.  

“Alrigh then,” you say back to him slowly pulling your pinky from his, “I just need to go wash up and then I’ll be back, okay?” 

You grab your basket full of stuff and wait for his response, “Alright darlin’.” 

He sends you a smile as he walks you to the front door, opening it and telling you a quiet bye.  

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

Joel was stressed out.  

You were coming to eat dinner tonight.  

With him. 

Just him. 

Ellie was at a friend’s house and was staying there that night.  

Joel was picking up around the parts of the house that you haven’t seen. It wasn’t necessarily dirty, but Joel was panicking. 

He didn’t know what to expect, if this was a date or not. He sure hopes it is. 

Walking into the kitchen and towards the pantry, he looked around at what he could cook for you. He isn’t a chef, but he’d say he’s an okay cook.  

He can’t give you a five-star meal, but maybe steak would pair well with the wine you bring. He nods his head at the idea and walks out of the house to Tommy’s.  

Surely, he had what he was after. 

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

You had showered and changed clothes. Blow drying your hair and taming your fly aways. You changed into a cute blue short-sleeved sundress, pairing it with a pair of white-ish sneakers. (Not so white since it’s the apocalypse and legit can’t keep anything clean.) 

You walked into your bedroom and towards your closet to pull out a red wine bottle that was hiding in the back. Looking at yourself one more time in the bathroom mirror, satisfied, you head out of your house and back to Joel’s. 

The sun was about to set, just above the trees.  

You were slowly walking over, basking in the feeling you felt in your body. Joel had asked you on a date. You surely thought this would never happen.  

Looking towards Joel’s house, you spot him on the porch...talking to a certain red head. 

Angeline. 

Angeline was this pretty little thing; she didn’t like you very much. Never knowing why, but she never had anything nice to say to you. 

They were flirting.  

Or so you thought, Angeline stopped Joel on his way back with what he was making for dinner. She was trying to get him to go out to the bar with her tonight, but he was letting her down politely.  

“No, ‘m sorry. I have plans tonight, ‘m about to cook dinner in just a bit,” Joel told her. He was holding the steaks and sides in his hands. 

“Are you sure? What about if I join you for dinner?” 

She was persistent. 

“Uh...no, sorry. I have dinner plans with someone else,” Joel tries again. 

“Well, then who?” Angeline was getting agitated; she’d been trying to spend time with Joel for a while now. 

He says your name and Angeline scoffs, “Her?” 

Joel furrowed his eyebrows at her tone, nodding, “Uh yeah.” 

Angeline was about to say something not nice before he got a glimpse of you from the corner of his eye, he turned his head to you and smiled, “There you are.” 

You had watched the interaction between them but not hearing what was said, so you glumly nodded, “Here I am.” 

Angeline sent you a small glare before turning back to Joel, “Well if you change your mind, you know where to find me,” she glided her hand down his arm before turning and walking away, sharing a glance with you. Smirking. 

You felt yourself falter 

Joel noticed the glum look you had on your face, “Hey? You okay?” 

You nodded your head without looking at him, “Yeah, ‘m fine.” 

Joel didn’t believe you but didn’t want to push you, “Alrigh’....well I thought since you were bringing wine over that it would go well with some steaks...if that’s okay?” 

Steaks sounded amazing; you haven’t had one in forever.  

“Steaks sounds great,” you tell him as you walk up onto his porch.  

Joel let out a sigh of relief, “Okay good, I didn’t know what you would like...so...” he trailed off. 

You shoot him a small, close-lipped smile that didn’t reach your eyes. 

Joel can feel himself start to panic, what happened? Did he do something wrong? 

You walked into his house and into the kitchen, setting the bottle of wine on the kitchen table. Joel walked in behind you, setting all the things he brough with him on the counter. Without looking at him, you walked to a cabinet pulling out two short glasses.  

“It’s a malbec, so it’ll go really well with steak,” you tell him. 

Joel nods, his fingers twitching from nerves, “Are you okay?” 

“Huh?” You turn slightly, looking at the wall behind him. 

“You uh...haven’t looked at me since you got back and...I just wanna make sure we..we’re okay,” he mumbled out you.  

Your heart sank, he thinks you’re mad at him, “Of course Joel, we’re okay.” 

“Then why are you still not lookin’ at me darlin’?” 

Your foot is slightly shifting back and forth on the ground while you played with your fingers before you decided to answer, “Angeline.” 

Joel’s eyebrows furrowed as he puts his hands on his hips, “What about her?” 

You shoot your eyes to the floor before shrugging your shoulders, “Do you like her?” 

Joel was trying to decipher the conversation, “Uh...I guess so? Don’t know her well enough but I guess she’s alright?” 

You shook your head, “No Joel, do you like her?” 

Joel shook his head with you, not understanding, “What are you askin’ me honey?” 

You flush at the new nickname, “Do you...do you wanna be with her?” 

Joel’s face falls in understanding, slightly smiling, “Wait, are you jealous?” 

You flush red, “I...what? No..I-” you stumbled with your words. 

Joel’s chest rumbles with a chuckle, “Don’t lie to me sweet thing.” 

You sigh out, face still warm, “Don’t...put me on the spot like that Joel.” 

Joel was biting his lip, trying to contain his large smile, “M’ sorry honey, c’mon.” 

You snapped your eyes to him, finally looking at him, he smiles, “There they are. Those beautiful eyes of yours.” 

He keeps you red, loving the way your blush danced across your face and up your neck. 

“Joel...stop,” you plead while putting your hands over your face as you smile. 

He walks over to you and gently grabs your hands from your face, “Hey now, lemme see you,” pulling them away, you both look into each other's eyes, “Yeah...that’s....wow.” 

You both are smiling while looking at each other, Joel is the first to break the silence, “No.” 

“Huh?” 

“No, I don’t wanna be with her. She’s not the woman I’m interested in.” 

You flush, “Well...then who is.” You just wanted him to say it. 

Joel shoots you a look, “C’mon now, I know you and I know you’re smarter than that.” 

You shoot him a sly smile, “I dunno what you’re talkin’ about.” 

He hums out as both your heads get closer to one another, “She is this ball of sunshine, a heart of gold,” you hum at his words, “best baker ever, best damn treats,” you laugh, “the most gorgeous smile I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing...and she blesses me with it every time she looks at me.” His forehead lays against yours.  

Your eyes closed at the feeling, “Hey, hey no...lemme see your eyes baby.” 

You opened them, his nose runs along yours as you keep looking at each other. He nudges his nose with yours, silently asking. Your hands clutch onto his shirt as he leans down, capturing his mouth slowly with yours. 

His hands move from your hands, down your arms, down your sides, to your hips. He pulls you closer to him as your mouths explore each other's. Your arms let his shirt go to glide up his neck, one staying on his neck while the other presses into his hair. 

He groans when you scrape your nails on his scalp, his tongue lightly skimming your bottom lip. You open your mouth slightly to allow him access. His hand comes up to hold the back of your head, lightly caressing your tongue with his.  

He pulls away, slightly panting, “As much as I want to continue this honey...I promised you dinner,” you frowned a bit, also panting, “What kind of gentleman would I be if I bed you before our first date?” 

You smiled at that, nodding your head, you let out a small ‘okay’. 

Joel smiled at you before leaning down and giving you one more kiss. 

He lets you go before turning to start cooking dinner, while you pour two glasses of the wine.  

Handing him one of the glasses he hums, “Thank you darlin’.” 

You smiled at him; the blush that was across your face slid down south.  

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

Dinner was amazing, you and Joel talked about anything and everything. The bottle of wine was finished, and Joel had busted out some whiskey he had gotten from Tommy.

You both were now snacking on the pumpkin loaf you baked for him earlier. 

“God this is pretty damn good,” Joel told you while shoving more of the bread into his mouth. 

You laugh at him while also eating more, “I told you! It’s delicious. By far my favorite thing to bake.” 

Joel hums, “Well you can make this for me anytime darlin’.” 

“I’ll keep that in mind,” you take another sip of the whiskey. 

You both are pretty buzzed from the wine and now whiskey. Joel had put it away after the last pour. Not wanting either of you to be too incoherent. 

Joel had reached over and put a hand on your thigh as you talked, rubbing his thumb back and forth. It made you stutter over your words. Joel smirked at that. 

“Didn’t mean to make ya nervous baby,” Joel tilted his head at you, still rubbing his thumb over the flesh of your thigh. 

You shake your head at him, blushing, “Yes you did, don’t act all innocent.” 

Joel gave you a mock offended look, “Me? I would never darlin’ you havta believe me.” 

His southern drawl was becoming thicker from the alcohol. You found it sexy. 

“Alright cowboy, I believe you.” 

Joel chuckled before standing, grabbing both your plates to put in the sink. You had gotten up from your seat to walk around the small home.  

Simple. 

Homey. 

A small guitar sat in the corner of the living room. 

“Can you play?” You called out to him. 

“What’s that honey?” Joel called from the sink. 

“Can you play your guitar for me?” Joel had walked to the threshold between the kitchen and living room, leaning against the wall, you looked up at him with pleading eyes. 

Joel sighs, “Whatever you want darlin’.” 

You smiled at him before grabbing his guitar and handing it to him. 

Joel takes a seat on a small chair across from the couch, where you sit yourself. 

He started strumming a few notes. 

“Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone.” 

Hell, you didn’t expect him to sing, let alone be able to sing. 

“It’s not warm when she’s away.” 

You're watching him closely, almost as if you’re afraid you’ll miss something. 

“And she’s always gone too long, anytime she goes away.” 

You watch the way his fingers strum effortlessly, how relaxed he is when he plays. It’s memorizing. Sexy even. It leaves your mouth dry as you watch him, heart beating out of your chest, breathing slightly ragged.  

He finishes the song and looks up at you, smirking when he sees your shocked expression. 

“Well?” 

You tilt you head at him with a smile, “I didn’t know you could sing.” 

Joel smiles, “Not many know, so shh. Don’t tell no one.” 

You stick your pinky out to him with a wide smile, making him chuckle while wrapping his pinky around yours. Stretched out to reach you, he doesn’t let your pinky go. Simply just stares at you with dark eyes. 

Your smile fades slightly, his dark eyes intimate but intimidating.  

“C’mere.” 

You don’t have to be told twice. 

You rise without breaking eye contact, as well as your interlocked fingers. Walking over to him, he pulls you into his lap and locks his lips with yours in one motion. His fingers are wrapped around strands of your hair, slightly tugging and stroking.  

Your hands were on both of his cheeks, stroking his beard. His other hand roamed the back of your head, neck, and cheeks. Noses bumping every so often. 

Your legs were on either side of his hips, dress bunched up a bit. His hands reach down to play with the hem of it around your hips. Sliding his fingers across the sides of your thighs, he gently bites down on your bottom lip, tugging on it and catching it back between his lips. 

You swipe your tongue against his, making him groan and squeeze your thighs. Suddenly, he shifts forward. Dipping you down, so that your head was angled to the floor. You squeal while he laughs, hauling you up by your hips. He wraps your legs around him as he heads for his bedroom.  

You were giggling into his shoulder as he carries you. 

“What’s so funny?” Joel asks as he plops you down onto his bed. 

You shake your head at him, smiling. 

Joel hums at the sight of you, plucking at the blue dress you wore.  

“Tell me to stop and we will baby,” he tells you. 

You look at him with soft eyes, pulling him down by his neck to kiss you, giving him your answer. He shifts your dress up past your hips, getting a glimpse of your panties, sucking in a breath when he sees a wet patch. 

“Jesus your pretty,” he mumbles as he latches his mouth to your neck. Kissing, sucking, biting. You arch into him, tilting your head back to give him better access. He licks a broad strip from the bottom of your throat to the top.  

“Joel,” you moan out, running your hands up his back. 

He hums against your neck, sliding a hand up your thigh toying with your panties before dragging them down your legs and throwing them to the floor. He lifts himself off your body to yank his shirt off his body, throwing it somewhere in the room. He grabs a hold of your legs and drags you to the edge, pulling your legs apart to spread you for him.  

He just stares. 

Stares at your glistening cunt. 

Mouth open like he’s parched. 

You squirm under his gaze. Trying to close your thighs, he stops you.  

He kneels while shoving his head closer to your heat. Wrapping his hands around your thighs to push them around his head, enclosing his head between your thighs as he wraps his mouth around your pulsing clit. 

You moan out loudly at the feeling, raking your hands through his hair as he sucks vigorously and flicks his tongue against you. Your dress was hiked all the way to your breasts. You reach down and pull it over your head, leaving you completely bare for him. His head raised to get a look at you, his lips were glistening from your juices.  

His lustful eyes, scanned your body, soaking in everything you have to offer, “Fuck,” he muttered. 

His eyes contact yours. He slowly lowers his head without breaking eye contact, pressing kisses against your mound and making his way up. He gets to the valley between your breasts, licking and nipping at your right tit. His mouth wraps around your nipple, harshly sucking. He lets go with a ‘pop’ before giving your tit a small slap.  

Your body jolts at the contact, mouth open in a small ‘o’, hooded eyes staring at him intimately. Joel reaches his hand out and places his thumb against your open mouth dragging your bottom lip down then shoving it in your mouth.  

You wrap your lips around his thumb, slightly biting down causing him to groan. 

“Fuck you’re perfect,” Joel tells you, gripping your chin between his pointer and thumb. He unbuckles the front of his jeans and slides them down his long thick legs, leaving him in his plain boxers. 

You palm him through the thin material, him smirking down at you as you eye his impressive bulge outline. He’s big, very thick. You’re a tad nervous with how big he is, you haven’t done this in years, especially not with someone this damn big.  

Joel moves both of his hands to your face, lifting it to make you look at him. He leans down and kisses you softly. Running his tongue over your top lip softly, he caresses your cheeks with his thumbs.  

He drags his head back from you, “You don’t know how long I've dreamed of this.” 

You looked up at him with hooded eyes, “Show me then.” 

Your making Joel’s heart beat out of his chest, his cock throbbing at your words. Without speaking, he pushes you back on the bed and runs a finger through your slick. He teases your hole with his pointer while he grips the base of his cock through his boxers. He slides his boxers down to his ankles and steps out of them.  

“Careful what you wish for darlin’,” Joel tells you as he takes his slicked fingers away from your heat to slick his cock up with your juices, guiding his thick cock to your entrance. 

“I think I can handle it cowb-,” you’re cut off by him sliding into you, moaning loudly you throw a hand around his neck as he slides to the hilt.  

“God damn...knew you’d be tight,” Joel strains out to you, “Been dreaming of this tight cunt ever sin-...ever since I met you,” Joel was choking out words as he slowly thrusted into you, warming you to his length.  

You're gasping for air at his words, mewling every time he drags his length in and out of you. Joel gripped your legs to throw over his shoulders, gripping the back of your thighs when your feet were beside his ears. 

“Fuck you feel so goddamn good,” Joel’s hips were slamming into the back of your legs, his pace unbearable. His cock was hitting all the right places, even brushing up against the deepest parts of you.  

“Joel-,” you cut yourself off with a loud high pitch moan as he brushes up against your g-spot. 

“That’s fuckin’ right baby,” Joel kept his pace the same, slamming against your g-spot every time he thrusts into you, “You drive me fuckin’ crazy, so god damn sweet n’ pretty...prettiest thing I've ever seen.” 

You can feel your release building coming, “Fuck..I-...I’m gonna cum,” you slur out.  

“Cum all over my cock baby...fuck give it to me,” Joel was rambling, he pressed his forehead against yours, “So pretty...fuck you’re so pretty and all mine.” 

You whine at him claiming you, not minding, “Yours.” 

Joel pulled out of you and squeezed the tip of his cock. He bends down to swipe his tongue around your clit, sucking harshly, he shoves two fingers into your throbbing walls. You cum immediately, body shakes as you do so. 

“Fuck Joel!” You wrap a hand in his hair, tugging slightly. He hums against you as he works you through your orgasm. Licking you clean. 

He stands back up and lines himself with your entrance again, “Fuck you look so pretty when you cum, gonna give me another one? Hm? Gonna cum all over my cock this time?” He swipes his cock against your slick slit, nudging your entrance, “Be a good girl, and,” he slides all the way back into you, “Take it.” 

You’re a mess. Tears streamed down your face, mouth wide open, wrecked moans leaving. You’re cock drunk.  

“Look at you honey...dumb on my cock. Can’t even speak huh?” He picked up his pace, if that was even possible, slamming his hips harder and harder against your thighs.  

Drool left the side of your mouth; Joel ran his thumb up your cheek to collect it. Bringing it to his mouth and licking your spit off it. Then he brings his thumb back to put in your mouth, gripping the bottom of your chin with his other four fingers. 

“Nobody can make you feel this fuckin’ good,” Joel says in your ear, “nobody but me, you hear me?” You bit down softly on his thumb, before sucking on it, “God look at you. Made for me...only me.” Joel’s possessive side was showing but you didn’t care. You’ve been pining after this man since he arrived in Jackson.  

You can feel your second orgasm coming as he continues to pound in and out of you. He can feel your walls tightening, sucking him in.  

“I can feel you baby, come on. Cum on my cock,” Joel demands you, “Fuckin’ give it to me.” 

“Give.” 

Smack. 

“It.” 

Smack. 

“To.” 

Smack. 

“Me.” 

Smack. 

You let out a scream as you cum around him, body racking in waves. He immediately pulls out of you from the feeling of your orgasm, it causing him to cum all over your stomach and chest. 

You’re both gasping for air by the end of it. He’s gliding his hands up and down the side of your thighs, gently laying your legs down off from his shoulders. 

“You okay sunshine?”  

You smiled at the nickname, “Sure am cowboy.” 

Joel let out a breathy laugh, “Lemme find somethin’ to clean you up with baby,” he leaves and heads for the bathroom, coming back with a small wet cloth. He wipes you clean from his mess. He leans over your body to plant a kiss on your lips, gathering you up in his arms as he lays you both back on the bed.  

He’s lazily drawing circles on your back, pressing small kisses against your neck, you break the silence, “Am I staying over?” 

Joel hummed against your neck, “You ain’t ever leavin’.” 

You let out a laugh, but he isn’t joking. Joel doesn’t plan on letting you go.  

“Fine by me,” You didn’t want to be let go. 

“Good,” Joel pressed a kiss against your temple, “Now let’s get some sleep so you can cook me breaky in the mornin’.” 

You snorted, “Of course sugar.” 

Joel hummed; he wasn’t feeling anything but content.  

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

Tommy did you both a favor.

If he hadn't of snuck into your house when you both left to unplug your oven...who knows what would've happened instead of you going to Joel's to bake.

He didn't exactly plan it that way but thought maybe Joel would come over to "fix" it...but it all worked out in the end.

[grimismywife]

After about a year, my base game save is finally done! My goal for it was to pretty up the world a bit/make it more interactable with twistedmexi's TOOL mod, and to make an overall fun gameplay experience!

Despite being base game, there are packs I highly recommend, being Seasons and Get Together. Seasons are not really necessary, there's only one seasons trait and career used, but most people have it anyway so. thought I'd mention. I do however, highly recommend Get Together. There's a ton of clubs, from classes, friend groups, dating pools and more.

There are no empty homes, but you can evict anyone you want. Go wild.

📌All three base game worlds refreshed!📌

most of the TOOL additions are in Willow Creek and Newcrest, as Oasis Springs is already perfect to me (ily oasis springs). There are no park lots in the world, instead you'll have to find them around! I wanted to encourage exploration as much as possible, I even found nice sceneries I didn't know existed while I was making it!

📌Hotels!📌

There is at least one hotel in each world, from shabby to glamourous! (Hot player tip™️: bring a gnome with you. Or just something that you can drag from your inventory to block a door. It basically locks the door! you're welcome)

📌University!📌

You may not have $50 to spare on a boring university experience. So why not have a taste in the base game? (Get Together is recommended to have more fleshed out classes, but not required) Complete with dorms, a Cafe, library and garden!

📌Retirement home!📌

Need a place to dump your elders until the 17th+ expansion pack, Get Old? Here is the perfect place to do it! (For Rent could be used on this lot if you prefer that playstyle) But just because everyone's over the age of 60, doesn't mean its short on drama!

📌Lore & Drama! 📌

Every household has its own storyline, for better or for worse. There's a ton of new households, as well as some old ones. the old ones have all been given makeovers, and some even have new lore!

📌Challanges!📌

In case you're not a story-based player, there's a few challenges in the world! Big day for rags to riches and 100 baby challenge fans.

📌Mysteries, for the player to solve!📌

There are several untold and unfinished storylines around the world. How many will end in a happy reunion?

📌And lastly, townies!📌

Every single townie has been given a makeover, So you won't get randomly generated sims clogging up your world! Or so I thought. It turns out, even if you give every randomly generated townie a makeover, the game will still generate more :( I think the only solution is to get a mod that controls how they spawn, I haven't tried any yet, so I can't give any recommendations.

And finally, the download! Enjoy homies

Just drag the file into your saves folder! Remember when downloading save files to back up your own. Make sure you don't have any save files with the same name! If you do this one might override it.

📌Additional notes:📌

📌Willow creek and Newcrest are pretty close in my mind. I'm going for a realistic playstyle, where distance between worlds is considered. (People is Oasis Springs probably don't know many from Newcrest, for example) But there is some overlap between these two worlds.

📌There are a few lots that you can use For Rent with.

📌The secret lots have also been made over!

📌If you don't have Cottage Living, delete the NPCs from that pack before playing. I kept them in, so the game didn't randomly generate anyone to fill the roles. (If you don't, you'll have them walking around naked)

📌You may get an error entering households, that you're missing content. This is likely just from traits from the mods I had in at the time (Although this was made with no mods in mind. So traits from lumpinou's mods may not line up with the storyline sims have been given)

📌I've had a bug where saving as a new file clears some relationships. Idk if that's just my game, but something to keep in mind.

📌eventually, more worlds will be done over! So far on the list is: Windenburg, San Myshuno, Tomarang, Brindleton Bay, Magnolia Promenade, Moonwood Mill, Del Sol Valley, Evergreen Harbor, San Myshuno, StrangerVille, Sulani, Forgotten Hollow, Henford-on-Bagley and Tartosa.

📌most sims have bonus traits from the rewards store! I feel like it fleshes them out a bit more. and I never play with bonus traits.

until next time!

Sim Request!

I am looking for some new townies for my savefile. Specifically I’d love a few marine biologists to work at the local aquarium. 🐠 🐳 🦈

Preferably they’d be CC Free or CC lite.

no sliders or presets (or if you add them you’re cool with me removing them if it fits my preference better - well, that may happen for other minor details too).

I’d love for them to have a back story, likes/dislikes etc. I’m open to them even coming with a family/partner.

I prefer maxis match styled sims. Must have clay hair etc…

simlish and 2D eyelashes only.

I’d love for them to be diverse, including visible disabilities (hearing aids etc), any age group, any gender presentation, etc…

please include a work outfit (your own - my preference or the one in game).

No pack limit. Use any or all of them.

If you have any questions, please feel free to DM me or send me an ask.

Deadline: Thursday, Feb 29

The aquarium is San Sequoia. One of my main sims will be working there. Coworkers and superiors (bosses or supervisors etc) are all welcomed too.

You can check out my sim style here.

My defaults are pondskater eyes and this skin.

Mirror of myself/ Shadow of myself (Cars, AU, Humanized, story concept)

Imagine after a race in a big city, Doc and Lightning want to go back to the hotel. Lightning drives. He takes a wrong turn. They drive a long time and end up in a smaller town. It's already dark outside when they decide to get a motel room there and do a few errands in a small store first.

Doc's POV, he is in the store with Lightning and goes to another aisle. Lightning looks for other things. Then Lightning comes back and Doc speaks to him. He is a little surprised that Lightning is suddenly wearing different clothes, but it was a long day. Maybe he just didn't notice. Still, something is strange, and "Lightning" also seems confused. When Doc’s kid suddenly joins them, two Lightnings are standing next to each other. They look the same, except for the style of clothing and hairstyle.

Lightning's parents died when he was a toddler. He doesn't remember them. He doesn't remember his old life and didn't know that he had a twin. Both, Lightning and his brother didn’t know. Both are overwhelmed and find it incredibly cool.

They get to know each other better, and exchange interests, Lightning's twin (let's call him Shadow) comes with them to Radiator Springs.

The press has its lucky day. Ever since the two appeared together, the media has been full of them.

Lightning is overjoyed. They do everything together. He feels like he has a part of his old life back, his biological family.

Until his thoughts start to become toxic. Lightning no longer feels unique. He thinks he can be replaced just like that and no one would mind. In a rush, he catches Doc accidentally talking to Shadow, thinking that it is Lightning. (The fact that he noticed it after twenty seconds doesn't count for Lightning). Lightning sees the RS townies laughing at Shadow's jokes, welcoming him into their midst like they did back then with him. Even Sally seems to like him. His mind tries to convince him that Sally likes both of them equally and that it wouldn't make a difference to her. But she just wants to be nice. She would be able to tell the two apart from a hundred meters away.

Lightning is less happy, doesn't tell anyone, gets depressed, and loses one race after another.

Doc knows. He always knows. He talks to his kid for a long time one evening. He tells him everything that is unique about Lightning. It's a long night. Lightning cries. Lightning heals.

And that's the moment when he realizes that he can never be replaced. He also begins to notice how different he and Shadow are. It's also fun to trick the others with pranks where both pretend to be the other. His friends always notice. The press never notices.

Shadow was happier at home. He has his own friends, people he calls family, his own hobbies, and his own job as a software engineer. Lightning would never have the patience for that. Shadow goes back home. They stay in touch.

They phone once a week. They meet once a month.

(And once in a while when Lightning is annoyed with too many interviews, also online interviews where he only has to appear on a Video Call, he asks Shadow. His brother tells them the funniest most random stories and they never notice it’s not Lightning. It’s one of Lightning’s favorite things to do; watching the interview the next day)

Alternative titles: Reflection of myself/ I want to be enough.

I thought I was Done with the Redden's

Welcome to the next household in the playthrough. The Redden Household. Wait?? Didn't I just get done with that household?

Weeelll, originally, Lori was living with her cousin Shorty and his girlfriend, Jasmine, but even SHE couldn't take it and SP moved her out pretty much at the beginning of the playthrough. I freaking LOVE Lori! She's unique to say the least. Like Jasmine, she is a klepto, but she's also neurotic and talks to herself frequently. Her look is inspired by those of us who've tried and failed at bleaching our hair at home. You know what I'm talking about, making the mistake of applying bleach to your scalp first so the end result is platinum roots and carrot colored length? Yeah...that's NEVER happened to me before...clears throat. Anyway, Lori is a ton of fun when she's not working and she has a super cute cat, Kip, so enjoy!

Cats and dogs are great for catching animals and sniffing out collectables...not so great for keeping furniture looking nice. Even the park bench isn't safe!

Just an average morning of ice cream for breakfast and yelling at herself in the mirror. All while rocking her formal wear of course.

Kip meanwhile is engaged in battle with some kind of little creature. It got away, lucky animal!

Oh Gawd Lori! PLEASE be careful! You don't have any handiness skills and I'm still mourning the loss of a couple of sims in one of my upcoming playthroughs!

Phew! She's safe! And Kip is making friends with a random townie. Hmm...this gives me an idea. Like many of my households, Lori is near broke and doesn't have much in her inventory. However, she lives pretty much behind the community garden so maybe she can collect and sell some produce!

Lori happens to be off work tonight (She's in the Criminal Career) so I thought I'd send her on a date with her boyfriend, Isaiah Gage! I absolutely LOVE these two together! They're both eccentric in their own ways, they make the perfect couple! They're the St. Bernie version of Reggie and Brianna in a way though they're nothing like Reggie or Brianna.

Aww...not bad for being exhausted! Don't worry Isaiah, we'll try another date by the end of my time with Lori. Just promise to wear a shirt next time LOL!

NCT Legacy Challenge

Inspired by lilsimsie and alwaysimming's not-so-berry challenge and sims-himbo's Barbie Legacy Challenge, I give you the K-pop collaboration idea that comes from combining the large numbered group NCT and our beloved Sims 4 Legacy gameplay.

Make sure to use the hashtag #NCTLegacyChallenge, so I can catch a glimpse of what you're making on various social media platforms and in the gallery.

Still unfinished (NCT WIsh members are to follow)

For easier access, here is the link for the Google Docs of the challenge

Welcome! To the 26 generations of a legacy challenge inspired by the 26 members of NCT!

Here are some of the basic rules of the challenge:

Play on short lifespan this is to make sure that we get through all 26 generations of this let’s play.

But if you want to play on normal life span please refer to the normal life span rules

This legacy is patriarchal, meaning only male sims can be the heirs of this let’s play.

The firstborn son would be the recognized heir.

All skills and careers should reach level 7

Unless stated otherwise 

All aspirations must finish the third level

Unless stated otherwise.

All generations should start with 2,500 Simoleons

Unless they are set to inherit the previous sim’s wealth.

Auto aging should be on even for townies.

You may opt to, but are not required to:

Edit your sims to look like the NCT members

Edit their names to be the same as the generation

Live in different lots per generation (if moving is not a requirement)

Follow with mid life crisis situation and change paths as long as you've reached the level 7 of your career.

Before we continue, I want to apologize with the fact that I used a lot of packs for this legacy challenge.

This legacy is still unfinished, the last six members (all from NCT Wish) have yet to updated as they've only debuted and I need to get to know them better so I can plot out what their generation would have and need to complete.

Also, this challenge doesn't reflect real life personalities of the members. It is simply inspired by SOME aspects of their personalities and what they show to us as idols. I also do not own NCT, nor is this challenge affiliated with them.

If you're a simmer, who happens to want a little more legacy challenges to play with and is not familiar with NCT please feel free to follow through with the legacy challenge and use the hashtags #NCTLegacyChallenge in all platforms (including the Gallery)

Why did your father pack up all his stuff to move to the countryside? The boring, lifeless countryside.

As your parents put you in some after-school activity– cough drama club cough– in hopes that it would help with your shyness. But it doesn’t seem to have worked at all.

ENFP | Leo

 As seen by your ancestors, a popular father has always had its downfall, but to you, it was no disadvantage at all. You loved the attention, but you weren’t exactly the writer that your father was– though you are talented as a singer, you just couldn’t see yourself pursuing it.

ENTP | Libra

You lived under all the spotlight. It was exhausting! Constant cameras in your face and your parents were just as obsessed with fame as everyone was obsessed with your parents. So all you could really think about was moving out as soon as you could– and as far away from your parents as possible. What better way to run away from people than to constantly work from home– but that only seems too hard for an extrovert like you.

traits: outgoing, cheerful, lactose intolerant

Finish the aspiration

Give your neighbors (all those in the neighborhood) crafted items from the woodworking bench.

CUTE | Aries

You lived in a town of romance. Surrounded by several beautiful things in your life. It doesn’t really come as a surprise that you turned into a romantic. You adored watching sunsets and were a lot more drawn to the ocean than normal. So, it doesn’t come as a surprise that you want to give back to the ocean and make sure it’s in perfect condition.
