Dina knows nothing would seduce Mortimer like encouraging him to talk about entomology.

Finally, Mortimer rolls the want to get married to Dina! You will have to take my word for it, because wants are barely visible in my tiny UI.

Leaving aside Dina's fiscal interests, I think these two could genuinely be happy together.

Would it even be a real date if they didn't end up making out on a park bench at dusk like horny teenagers?

It's getting late, and Dina asks Mortimer to come back home with her. The date was going great, but for some reason Mortimer rolls a want that had eluded until now: to get married to Bella.

The grand vampire scares Mortimer! Yay!

Dina: Hold your friend back, that man is taken.

At least Dina has enough money to order a drink while...

Mortimer decides to play cards again, this time with the grand vampire and a heavily pregnant Ana Patel.

Ana: I'm so comfortable here.

Cassandra comes to keep Dina company on the meantime.

Cassandra: So happy to be of use 😠

Nina starts her morning with a splash in the pool!

Dina starts her morning by once again failing to find any job she likes. She seeks solace in chatting online with Mr. Big (!) only to discover that they have no chemistry whatsoever (!!!).

Dina: No ninja.

She ends up spending the whole morning working on her financial advice scam again, which eventually pays the bills.

Nina: I don't know how her master plan of persuading the old man to marry her by talking about ants could have failed.

Don, do you live here now?

Don: 😁

Dina: Is this to be endured?

While Dina and Mortimer are at the park, Nina spends the afternoon with Don.

Nina: I got the job with the Boxing Llamas!

Don: Let's celebrate!

Dina and Mortimer come back home eventually, but don't linger downstairs.

They had a dream date, but I chickened out after seeing Mortimer's want to marry Bella and didn't make Dina propose.

Some hours later, Don wakes Dina up to complain.

Don: Whose place stinks now, huh?

Dina: Come on, Don. Don't be childish.

Dina, on the other hand, isn't as lucky. She has a want to earn money, but there aren't any jobs available that I think she'd like. After fulfilling that by giving financial advice to idiots on the internet who'd pay to get some from someone with literally no clue about Economy, all that's left are stupid wants for buying expensive things and the "marry a rich sim" one. So I guess it's time to follow the scripted events and "be agressive".

That means we're asking Mortimer out on a date.

You're not coming with us this time, Bella.

Bella: That's what you think.

Both Nina and Mortimer have Nature as their predestined hobby, so we're visiting Woodland Park (@executables-sims makeover 💚) this time. As you can see, Dina has but one thing in mind.

Next up are the Caliente sisters. Looking good!

The round starts with some skilling as per the sister wishes (I never ignore skilling wants).

Nina: I know this has been a rough time for you, but Michael's been gone for months now, and it seems like you've moved on. So, don't you think it's time to settle down on your own? You wouldn't want to live in your sister's condo forever, would you?

I like how conversation topics are not reflected in mirrors, it's like they're vampires 🧛🏼‍♂️

Even though we've given Bella her own house, she insists on sticking around.

Bella: My house doesn't have a pool.

There's a public pool just down the street, you know.

[themeasureofasim]

In the afternoon, the carpool comes for Nina.

Nina: Do I have to wear this? 😮

Yeah, sorry, I don't know how to replace it yet.

While Nina is at work, Dina gets a call from Mortimer asking her on a date Downtown. How could we say no?

I sent them to "Lucky Shack", not realizing that after paying the bills she had no money left to play cards.

Dina: That could change if you would just follow my wants.

I know, worst watcher ever.

At least dancing is free! Also one of the grand vampires is here while Mortimer is not controllable, great.

Sophia Jocque was having a blast with the karaoke.

Grand vampire: Nice neck.

These are still @tvickiesims condos, but I redecorated a bit in the style of Nina's original room (the blue one, according to the family album). I think it suits her shy and serious personality better. Nina's also super neat, so clothes on the floor end up in Dina's room 😉

As I did with Don, after paying the first week's rent, I set their funds back to the amount they start the game with: §1,040. Both sisters are unemployed but have career LTWs, so this shouldn't be that bad?

Eureka! Nina finds a position in her dream job during the first day! (In case you can't read microscopic text, it's the Athletic career)

Nina: I've worked so hard today.
