in the final round only the romance bar counted for the leaderboard and i can now announce that BILLIE WEST @devotedsims got the key to xavier's heart in the end ❤️❤️❤️

and now we conclude this amazing experience! my sincere gratitude to all who sent me their sims, it was so nice taking care of your pixel people and i really hope i treated them alright! i grew very fond of them all <33

a big thank you to all who interacted with this crazy challenge. it was so fun to play and to edit! we'll hear more about billie and xavier in the (very) near future, don't worry!

harper bachelor challenge will publish more 2 posts in the next couple of days because this story is to be continued... in a way.

like i said above, i plan to include all contestants in my future legacies and generations because they're part of the family already, hehe!

once again, thank you all and i really wish this was as much fun to you as it was for me 😘

hum... and a piece of advice *whispers* think twice before starting a bachelor challenge with a mean and high maintenance sim... dear me, it's the key to (un)success! 😂😂😂

@bakersimmer @prossims @solis-legacy @violetkii @simsinfinitylt @jazzytrait

thank you for sharing your sims with me! let me know if it’s okay to keep them in my save for future use in my legacies 🙂

tomorrow another recap of the rendez-vous moment with each contestant!

2ND HOUSEHOLD: CYLENE + HARVEY + JOURNEY + PENELOPE + RANDOLPH

first introductions are very... moody 😂 but oi! first crush!! 😶‍🌫️ and harvey knows it, look at his smug face!

look, first he pees himself, then he sees his crush in the pool, jumps to the pool (because who needs a bath?? lol!) to discover he has fear of swimming... xavier is not having a good day, OKAY?

and he is not alone... oof! what a day! 😳

@aresember @jonquilyst @simgrump-main @violetkii @minty-plumbob

(if you don't want me tagging you in each post your sim appears, let me know, please! no worries if you don't, notifications can be a nightmare sometimes 😉)

[akitasimblr]

MONDAY - HOUSEHOLD 1: BILLIE + FRANCESCA + KLARA + LOGAN + THAYER

thayer grew a beard overnight and xavier forgot to shower. aren't the prospects amazing for their first date?! 😆

i think "loving is caring" was in force that day... cannot explain it any other way 🤣

OMG! thayer, seriously? xavier's sister?! fortunately, the fun does not end here! time to go home...

penelope caused a stir that night!! logan missed her chance while cesca made the first move and logan ended up talking with her imaginary friends but she is always on a good mood, bless her! 😁

in another part of the house, randolph did manage to get his 3 minutes of fame! tried to engage in a funny introduction with klara; made a CRUSH impression on cesca and exchanged numbers with billie! and all of it while he was enranged 😆

just between us, cesca's clumsiness has already broken the two dishwashers of the mansion and by the rules i cannot do anything and NO ONE in that house fixes it!! 😱😆

@wileyfern @violetkii @moonfromearth @windslar @minty-plumbob @nugsims @devotedsims

[akitasimblr]

WEDNESDAY - HOUSEHOLD 2: CYLENE + HARVEY + JOURNEY + PENELOPE + RANDOLPH

okay, randolph was just trying to clear the tension; but the choice of joke didn't sit well with xavier... after all, xavier likes furry sims, remember? 😉

it was definitely something YOU said between the multiple - and only - mean interactions, xavier... 😆 let's take them home before... oh no! too late 😂

back at home things were animated!! it's official, we have 10 broken objects at the mansion and NO ONE is skilled enough to autonomously fix them... 😡

and looks like cesca has moved on from her broken heart... let me tell you, cesca and penelope are growing closer by the minute. i suppose xavier got jealous and decided he'd be the third wheel before there was too much romance in which he was not included 😂😆

and braylon and journey were interrupted by a very annoying intruder! 👀 journey asked braylon if they wanted her to go and bite the 'curious' lady 😆

@minty-plumbob @aresember @simgrump-main @moonfromearth @windslar @violetkii @prossims

[akitasimblr]

FRIDAY - HOUSEHOLD 3: AGGI + COLT + DRU + MARIGOLD + RUNA

so it seems we have a third party in this date 😳🤭

billie monopolized xavier's attention but dru didn't seem to mind much... 😋

the best way to put an end to an argument 🤭 AWOOOOO! 😂 also, this happened and i'm not sure what it meant... was randolph trying to take down xavier's from his own bachelor star contest??!?! 👀

@noeyinthemist @devotedsims @bakersimmer @simgrump-main @aresember @minty-plumbob

[akitasimblr]

SUNDAY - HOUSEHOLD 2: CYLENE + HARVEY + JOURNEY + PENELOPE + RANDOLPH

a quick recap of the first hours together. penelope was relieved no one was naked the minute she entered the door! oof! 🤭 cylene was pretty antissocial and jumped to the pool. and journey is seriously worried: what do you mean, ONLY ONE can win your heart?

whoa! this group date is destined to be P-E-R-F-E-C-T!! random generator decided we would be going to the gym at del sol valley!

like i said... perfect! 😮

so... xavier feels attracted to randolph but only werewolf-randolph and he expects to win randolph's beastly heart with... beef! 🍖😂

randolph, don't worry! you made it an... UNIQUE group date 😉🤭

@violetkii @jonquilyst @aresember @simgrump-main @minty-plumbob

[akitasimblr]

SATURDAY - HOUSEHOLD 2: CYLENE + HARVEY + JOURNEY + PENELOPE + RANDOLPH

harvey!!! you broke xavier's heart! 💔😳 better take you on that group date + xavier's family!

xavier's brother, paris did try a romantic interaction with penelope - to no avail!, though 🤭 journey did manage to have a nice talk with xavier's dad, leo! and xavier is CLEARLY holding a grudge against harvey 😳 ooops...! 😆

agreed, judith!! 😂 this is the second death in this household! omg!

XAVIER, IT WORKED!!!!! (psst: just between us, xavier won't shut up about saving randolph's life...🙄)

harvey and xavier decided to scream irrationally at grim the reaper... i think they almost scared the grim to death 🤭😂

a few minutes before changing households, journey decided she needed a last bite goodbye from xavier 😎

and these are the final scores of household 2 - round one. the first red bars....😳

@aresember @violetkii @simgrump-main @jonquilyst @minty-plumbob

[akitasimblr]

THURSDAY - HOUSEHOLD 2: CYLENE + HARVEY + JOURNEY + PENELOPE + RANDOLPH

journey insists on sleeping outside... 🙄 but let's jump to the solo date!

whooooa!! 😮 cylene is mad at xavier!! 😆 believe it or not, but these two actually had an almost friendship bar before this date! i guess having two high level maintenance sims on a bad day = bad date!

let's go home before things get... worse? look, this was probably the less successful date until now 😳 but cylene's faces are simply the best!! 😂

there's love in the air. at this point cylene was indeed the only sim in the house who wasn't on bad terms with randolph, hehe! 💕

no comments 🤭❤️‍🔥

@aresember @minty-plumbob @simgrump-main @jonquilyst @violetkii

[akitasimblr]

colt did like xavier's attempt to seduce; but he wasn't much convinced with xavier's talk about fantasies 😳

someone save runa from xavier's public declaration of love! on the other hand, a bit of a risque question does wonders! 🤭

penelope loves small gestures of love like being given a rose; and she definitely enjoyed xavier's talk about fantasies! 😁

mischievous marigold's heart melts with the offer of a rose and cannot be indifferent to a public declaration of love! 😀

billie heart skipped a beat when xavier whispered sweet nothings to her ear; and a bit of flirt never hurted anyone 😉

candice is not indifferent to an innocent compliment of appearence and xavier totally got her with the rose offer! 🌹

braylon was melting away the minute xavier hold their hands; but xavier's screeching voice while public declaring his love was too much 🙈

everything can happen... romance bars were all over the place after four days of inconsequent woohoo, unbound romance and piercing betrayals!!

KEEP AN EYE ON TOMORROW'S SMOGUE MAGAZINE EDITION TO UNVEIL THE WINNER 👀😮😎

[akitasimblr]

MONDAY - HOUSEHOLD 2: CYLENE + HARVEY + JOURNEY + PENELOPE + RANDOLPH

the date will have to wait for the night due to vampire issues; we don't want to kill anyone right on their first day, right? oi! journey... 🫣

the plead didn't work so the watcher had to intervene (it's in the rules! no one dies here!).

from death flirting with harvey and penelope helping cylene recovering from the 'deadly encounter' earlier, i think things are running smoothly. but wait a second! we're about to go on a date and journey has an irrestible thirst?! seriously?? 🤨

looks like journey & xavier's date turned into a kidergarten encounter 😆

why are you asking, CHILD? 🤨😂

@aresember @jonquilyst @simgrump-main @violetkii

[akitasimblr]

THURSDAY - HOUSEHOLD 1: BILLIE + FRANCESCA + KLARA + LOGAN + THAYER

xavier... this is a weird date already, don't make it weirder, PLEASE!

unfortunately, xavier kept 'impressing' the other contestants in his birthday suit...

penelope, i think it was a glitch with my wwhims ...🤣🤣

cesca keeps breaking things and fallin' in love 😉 and thayer is still NOT SLEEPING at night, mixing drinks instead and almost freezing to death in the pool. normal stuff! 😆
