#now that dorothy has a boyfriend i'm hoping to focus on maybe pap next

[tardytothepardy]

These last few days have been very Dorothy-centric, but that’s probably due to the fact that I have more of a plan for her than for her brothers. At any rate, here’s the breakdown:

Dorothy met a stray dog named Doris, and they seemed to have a pretty good connection, enough that I think they’re friends right now? 

Idk. But Doris isn’t in the household, because it’s already chock-full of Sims just bouncing off of each other and clipping their way through the furniture. 

In the last post, I mentioned how I was searching for a potential Sim to be Dorothy’s partner (at least while she’s a teen, I don’t plan on this Sim being her forever partner; I just find that really weird), and she did! His name is Liam Barbour, and he lives with his mom, Tracey, in Oasis Springs. How exotic. As their relationship was growing, I saw that little roommate offer thingy, and I tried to have Liam ask her to move in with him and his mom (they have a huge spare bedroom), but she declined, saying something along the lines of “There are people in my household that depend on me”, which I thought was dumb. I mean, yeah, Nick and Kris are children, but Sans, Papyrus, Grim, and Tiffany are all more than capable of taking care of Nick and Kris, especially when one considers the fact that those two are taking pretty good care of themselves on their own.

But anyway.

My initial plan with her moving in with Liam is that she could bring Doris along with her, because he has the animal aspiration, and I was considering giving Dorothy the “dog lover” trait once she grew up. Instead she’s still haphazardly smooshed into the tiny house along with everyone else. (Not a literal tiny house, like the stuff pack, it’s just way too small for 8 Sims, but I refuse to move them out to a larger lot because I’m clingy) 

As of today, Dorothy and Liam are officially dating, and it took many days of breaking curfew (set at 9pm) to do it. Her responsibility took a hit, but it’s fine.

(this is just a collection of pictures showing their relationship, because it’d just be ridiculous to put all of them separately, especially because I don’t even have many great shots to showcase.)

Speaking of responsibility, I managed to drop Dorothy’s grade down to a C. She wasn’t the most pleased about it, but to me it makes sense. She does have other things going on in her life, like Doris. 

I’ve had Papyrus, Sans, Nick, and Tiffany all working on things. Papyrus is working on writing another song on his violin, and I discovered today (with mild horror) that he only has three skills. Sure, his violin skill is maxed, but I still think he should have a wider range of musical talent, because he really does have that kind of spare time. I gave him a guitar for a reason.

 With Sans, I’ve been having him be kind of an asshole, as he has to have two people dislike him for his aspiration, so that’s always nice. Nick’s been working on his Llama Scout thing, but not too hard, because then he won’t have anything to do as a teen. (It’s really weird thinking about him as a teen) Tiffany recently got promoted to C-Lister, which is level 3 of the Entertainment Career. Before I know it, she’s gonna be a comedian, which is just what she wants, currently. 

Finally, back to Dorothy, I gave her a minor (yet majorly ridiculous) re-vamp to her wardrobe:

If I could have her eating an autumn salad, I would. (I know that’s a thing in The Sims 3, but I’m trying my half-heartedness to maintain a fall aesthetic with her, as a child of a scarecrow.)
