Fifty Questions Tag

@thesimperiuscurse​ was kind enough to tag me in this tag and since I’m supposed to study for exams, I thought I’d do it right away. I’m heading off to procrastination station! :D

I’m answering these questions for, who else, Gina, but I’m going to do it under a cut, so you don’t have to scroll so much on your dash.

How old is your sim? 24.

When is your sim’s birthday? 3rd of April.

What is your sim’s zodiac sign? Aries.

What is your sim’s ethnicity? Italian.

Does your sim have any nicknames? She goes by Gina and her uncle calls her Cupcake. He’s the only one who can get away with it.

Do they have a job? If so what is it? She’s a gang leader who also works as an art thief.

Where does your sim live? In Monte Vista.

Who does your sim live with? She’s lived alone with her dad in Monte Vista since her brother moved out, but her dad has since moved to Collesena to live with her mother.

What environment did your sims grow up in? She grew up in a loving and caring environment, despite the close connection with the gang.

What are your sim’s favourite foods? Gina will eat nearly everything and she absolutely loves food. She has a special fondness for sweet stuff, especially cake (Hence the nickname Cupcake by her uncle).

What is your sim’s favourite drink? White wine. Her and Carlo constantly argue over whether white or red is better, though they generally agree that wine is fantastic.

If they have one what is your sim’s favourite color? She likes teal but it was sort of a surprise to her when Lotta first pointed out that she nearly always wears teal - she honestly didn’t think much about it and never really thought much about a first colour.

Does your sim believe in any clichés? (love at first sight). Not really. She’s a romantic at heart and wants both the big white wedding and family, but she has no illusion that it comes out of nothing.

What is your sim’s sexuality? Straight.

What is your sim’s gender identity? Cis female.

Is your sim type a or type b? If we’re talking A and B personalities, she’s more on the A side.

Is your sim introverted or extroverted? She’s more extroverted and is the type of person who invites someone over rather than being alone.

What is your sims favourite woohoo position? Gina is up for plenty of stuff and doesn’t have a particular favourite position.

Is your sim a pet person? If so what is their favourite animal? No, she is not. She likes animals but she can’t be bothered to have one herself. She would probably like the personality of cats better, but she thinks dogs make better pets but again - she wouldn’t get any.

Does your sim have a best friend? Yes, Carlotta Allegri. They’ve known each other always but only been friends for eight years.

What is/was your sim’s favourite school subject? Lol. No.

Is/was your sim a high, mid or low achiever in school? Low achiever. Very, very low.

Are they planning to go or have they already been to college? If so, what would be or what was their major? Gina went to university for around a year, studying art history. The stuff she retained was useful enough but she loathed studying.

What are your sims political beliefs? (If they have them). She doesn’t really have any. She’s happy to use the gang’s influence to affect political decisions but she mostly does it for the good of the gang.

What is one thing your sims wants to do before they die? Make a name for herself in the underworld - and she’s well on the way to doing it.

Does your sim have a favourite TV show (cable) and/or movie? So, I don’t like to connect pop culture to my stories. You will rarely, if ever, see me referencing real life works that aren’t old (we’re talking 100+ years old). It’s my attempt at keeping the stories fairly timeless, though that’s obviously impossible. To this, therefore, I’ll simply answer that no, I don’t think she has any favourites - she will watch a movie or show with a friend, but she doesn’t care enough to pick a favourite.

Is your sim a Netflix viewer? If so what are their top 3 shows. Yet again, I’m not going to mention any actual works, but as with the movie question, I don’t think she’d have any top 3 shows. She simply doesn’t care enough about movies or tv.

Does your sim like books? If so what’s their favourite one? Oh hell no.

Does your sim enjoy video games, if so what is their favourite one and do they play on PC or console? I can imagine Gina playing with her nephew when he’s playing a console game, though she’s terrible at it. She’s actually terrible at technology.

What is your sim’s personal style? For work, she likes to dress in dark clothes and to send a certain image, which results in hear nearly always wearing her leather jacket and shiny black boots - at the same time, she will still wear revealing clothing as a sort of reminder that hey, she’ll completely kick your ass and you’ll probably be lowkey attracted to her while she’s doing it.

Does your sim have a lucky charm? She does not, but she is a little superstitious so she’ll be the first to tell you not to do certain things before an art heist.

Is your sim religious? No.

What kind of music does your sim listen to and who is their  favourite artist? Again, not going to mention any particular real-life artists (also not going to make any up for the story). Gina likes to listen to music that sounds good when played obnoxiously loudly and especially when she’s driving at high speeds in a stolen car. Though she also likes piano music.

Is your sim a festive person? If so what’s their favourite holiday? She’s festive when it comes to holidays that involves family so Christmas would probably be her favourite.

What is your sim’s favourite type of weather? She likes it to be sunny and very warm.

Does your sim prefer to start fights or finish them? Oh, she does both. Gina is a tiny ball of anger and it doesn’t take much to provoke her, though she’s gotten better as she’s aged. In her teen years, she was happy to start fights at the slightest provocation and she wasn’t popular with teachers as a result.

Does your sim have a dream job? She’s working it!

Does your sim have any siblings? She has an older biological brother, Giuliano, and an older adopted sister, Marta.

Does your sim get along with their family? She does, though she gets along best with her dad (whom she adores) and her siblings. Her and her mother have a healthy respect for each other but they’re too similar to really get along.

What is your sim’s favourite hobby? She likes to take a long, fast drive in the countryside and preferably in a vehicle she doesn’t own.

What does your sim look for in a romantic partner? Mostly, she looks for a connection and especially for someone she can talk to for a long stretches of time without getting bored. Though she’s not aware of it, she also looks for someone who grounds her.

What is a secret about your sim? She still has a little stuffed rabbit that she was fond of as a kid. It’s pink and because she loved it so much, it’s absolutely terrifying now. The only person who knows about it is Enzo.

What is a wish your sim has? She doesn’t verbalise it but she really wants a stable, long-lasting relationship and a loving family like the one she grew up in.

What is a flaw your sim has? Her terrible, terrible temper is her biggest flaw - with it comes a tendency to act rashly and to find it hard to forgive.

How do others generally perceive your sim? She’s generally perceived as sweet and fun-loving, though also as someone to watch out for, due to her temper.

Does your sim have a greatest achievement? Her greatest achievement is yet to come - it would be spoilery to write it here. ;)

If they have one, what is your sim’s greatest regret? She regrets getting together with Doriano Montanari as a teenager and even more she regrets not knowing that her now future sister-in-law, Flora, was seeing him as well. She wishes she could have warned her and prevented the pain Flora went throlugh at his hands.

Does your sim have a favourite emoji? Gina is completely baffled at technology and can only do the most basic things with her phone so no, she doesn’t have a favourite emoji.

Does your sim use simstagram? If so what’s their @? Another nope. (This is also my own aversion against referencing social media in my stories - re: My attempts at making the story more timeless).

What is the last text your sim sent (and who did they text)? She only texts Carlotta and all her messages are to the effect of: “get your ass over here i have wine.” (All in lower caps, of course).

Welp, that was a long one and I’d better get back to studying, so I’ll skip the tagging this time, unless somebody wants to do it in which case: You have hereby been tagged - go forth and do it.
