Portia Montez for @rainymoodlet's Rock of Love Bachelor Challenge! <3

in depth info + full wardrobe below the cut! ↓

✮ Portia was born and raised in Evergeen Harbor, an industrial port town known for it's huge import/export businesses and even more so - it's heavily polluted environment especially at the shores of the sickly brown-ish sea. The early death of Portia's mother directly caused by the affects the bad air had on her health has instilled somewhat of a love-hate relationship towards Evergreen Harbor into the then 8 year old girl.

✮ Her father tried his best to raise his daughter by himself but despite his long working hours in a local shipyard the money was barely enough for them to survive, the possibilty of moving away far out of reach.

✮ Early in her youth she found her talent and passion for skateboarding, winning many prizes in junior competitions all over the country. After barley graduating from highschool (some ppl just aren't made for the educational system lol) she became a promising professional and quickly made a name for herself in the skating community all over the world. Her biggest successes were two back-to-back street skateboard world championship titles and several self-invented tricks where named after her. Life was good for Portia not only professionally but personally too after meeting Davide Montez who became not only her manager but als her husband.

✮ Sadly, as the saying goes though - nothing lasts forever and about a year ago, Portia found herself forced to retire from competing professionally because growing up in the bad environment of Evergreen Harbor finally started to catch up with her own health. Her retirement caused her marriage to suffer as well and soon after she announced the end of her career as a professional, Davide called it quits and they agreed to divorce on good terms.

✮ Now with her financial stability and free time to pursue new things, Portia took the chance and applied for the bachelor challenge to win Jackson Roth's heart. This is mostly thanks to her friends pressuring her to try after catching her gawking at one of the billboards with Jackson's photo on it (i mean HELLO?! he's hawt! °-° she just... doesn't like the music lol). Portia is (somewhat) ready for a new adventure and maybe, just maybe she'll find love again! <3

[none-of-these-days]

Interviewer: Mr. Landgrab, what are some of your favorite activities outside of work?

Johnny: As a business owner there is barely any time for hobbies. But I enjoy a good match of tennis or golf. When in Mt. Komorebi I always try to get at least a few hours to enjoy the snowy mountains and go skiing.

Interviewer: Sounds tough! You probably don't have time for any pets, do you?

Johnny: My family owns a prestigious horse stable in the countryside of Brindelton Bay. I started horse riding at the age of 5 and still do so when time allows. Other than that, my mother owns three poodles. But I consider myself a cat person rather than a dog person.

Interviewer: Holiday season is coming upon us! Where is your favorite travel destination?

Johnny: I travel a lot due to work. I'd say my favorite destination is Tartosa. It's known for it's magnificent sun downers and exquisite cuisine. There is nothing better than enjoying a high class meal and some good wine while watching the sun down.

Interviewer: Rumors have it you're invited to Mr. Straud's Halloween party. What will your costume look like?

Johnny: I'll keep it traditional and simple. I enjoy high fashion - wearing silly costumes however is not something I'm especially keen of. I decided to go as a vampire. The suit was tailored by one of my favorite designers. It did cost quite the money but I say it's worth the price.

Part 1 out of 2 of CEO Johnny's introduction for @cawthorntales bachelor challenge. I hope you like this little interview Johnny did. I was figuring out how to offer as much info about CEO Johnny without it reading weird in his actual video tape (which will be posted tomorrow). So I decided to split things up. I think it's very fitting for succesfull business owner Johnny to do these kind of interviews.

I've also included the Halloween screenshots in this post! :D

(Also sorry if anything sounds off. English is not my native language and I'm running out of brain juice atm. I heavily relied on DeepL and hope everything makes sense.)

Izan's ISBIBC

So I'm still kinda in setup/build hell but I'm getting itchy to play so I thought I might do a little bachelor challenge to get my fix while I continue to build. To start let's get the general details out of the way first so you can know if this is for you or not:

This is a GAMEPLAY oriented BC. Posing will be limited to fun story things for introductions and exits.

I will play this ISBI style, meaning I ONLY control Izan. I can do group commands like "call to meal" but that's it.

I will do rounds of eliminations based on Izan's relationship with the contestants. I think it'll be every 3 days so they have some time to make their moves and maybe do an off lot activity.

I will take a maximum of seven contestants, any and all cc is fine.

It is first come, first serve and your entry isn't counted until I have the sim's files in hand.

So with the basics out of the way, let me tell you a little about Izan.

He's 23

He has three very young children.

He's a witch

He has adhd

His main traits are Adventurous, Socially Awkward, and Self-Assured

He is the youngest of six.

He is one of my main sims of my current generation so he plays a main role in most of my saves and stories. He is a prince of one of my countries in the royal sims universe, he's a townie in Rio's save in ts3, and he's Atlas' best friend in NSB. So there will be a lot of opportunity to see your sim build a life with him.

Now for what he is looking for:

Izan is pan so any gender is fine.

Occults are fine

Gotta be okay with being a step-parent.

No one perfect. Please give them at least one negative trait.

If you want to make a post to introduce them, feel free but otherwise you can just send me a message with a bit about them. I mostly need to know their gender identity so I make sure they are set right with my mods, and if possible two talents and two weaknesses I can set them up with.

Anyway, I think that's finally it. The tag for this is IzansISBIBC. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hendrix Lothario for @cawthorntales Landgraab BC

Hendrix Lothario Young Adult Gay Aspiration: Successful lineage Traits: Unethical, Family Oriented, Hot headed

Yes, Lothario, as in THE Lothario family. Hendrix is Don Lotharios cousin and where Don might be known for his prowess and noncommittal lover boy mentality. Hendrix, took more after Dons uncle, his father {redacted} Lothario , who though a bit of a rake is known more for his darker dealings. From the desert of Oasis springs to the back alleys of San My Hendrix has been working his way up in family business. Hendrix doesnt mind getting his hands dirty but he works on keeping a low profile. Something he has learned over the years is sometime the thing that is seen the least is the one that is sitting right out in the open. Crazily enough its being out in the open that has him signing up for this BC. What better way to throw the sent off of some of his more recent activities than to be blatantly preoccupied with tempting a one very uptight looking golden boy. And secretly this may give Hendrix the chance to get to know someone he could possibly have a romantic interest in for more than a fleeting moment

🐴Once Upon A Time In Chestnut Ridge: A Bachelor Challenge

Meet Dakota Blue Heron, Chestnut Ridge's most eligible bachelor!

Dakota is 29, stands 6'3 tall, living on Crow's Head ranch, primarily a horse ranch that is open for guests in the spring and summer months. The ranch is owned and operated by the Heron family, being passed down through generations for over a century. Kindly, Dakota's parents have allowed the ranch to be used this season, in hopes that the show's popularity will help bring in more guests and customers.

Dakota accepted the network's offer to be Bachelor in hopes of finding a life partner, having little time to meet new people in his regular life. Also because, in his words, "this seems fun!"

Here's a few things he wants potential contestants to know about him: he spends his days working in various different parts of the ranch (in the horse stalls and gardens especially), he grows most of his food and whatever he doesn't grow he sources from local and ethical producers, he loves being surrounded by people (especially those he holds dearly), occasionally hunts (deer and invasive species mostly). He speaks navajo, navajo sign language, english and spanish, and is a tribal member of the navajo nation. Dakota wants kids and is looking for a partner with similar desires to start a family.

Keep reading below for more info!

Likes: fellow animal enthusiasts, physical contact (his love language), his grandmother's cooking, gardening, spending his days outside, being with family, cinnamon, old hollywood films, people who are connected to their families or communities, fry bread

Dislikes: being cooped up inside, snow days, musical theater, cilantro (he's got the soap taste gene), sudden loud sounds, stand up comedy, cold showers, people who don't like getting dirty, cops, cigarette smoke

GUIDELINES:

8 contestants will be accepted

contestants should have at least 5 likes and/or dislikes

contestants have 15 skill points to distribute as they wish

contestants can have 3-5 traits, except for unflirty or romantic, do give them at least one negative trait, it's more fun that way

unfortunately, only human contestants for this one. YA and adult only, any amount of story/backstory, any aspiration except for romance related aspirations, any gender (pleaseeee give them pronouns). include all this information in your entry please.

any cc and outfits, though try to keep to 1 outfit per category. maxis match or maxis mix is fine EXCEPT for alpha hairs, no alpha hairs please.

Download can be private or public, up to you, BUT please include ALL cc in the download!

i own most of the packs except for some of the kits, but i do have the ‘kits made bgc’ so i can replace stuff if needed

i will be changing skin details and giving them more outfits, if you submit a sim you are consenting to have them be changed to fit my sim style. honestly i highly encourage everyone to use sliders and custom presets, i think sims look a lot better with those and i dont love how vanilla presets look tbh

if you do not have the horse ranch pack but would like for certain skills, traits or aspirations from the pack to be used on your sim, let me know and i will add it in game!

tag me in your posts and use the hashtag #chestnutbc

UPDATE:

NEW DEADLINE: AUGUST 14

PLEASE READ:

As stated previously, Dakota likesmasculine-leaning sims. No strict gender preference, but I am looking for masculine contestants. Be it women who are more butch, masc leaning non binary, cis or trans men on the masculine side of the spectrum. Dakota's type tends to be people with muscles, masculine-leaning, who look like they could pick him up and throw him around. Dad types are a plus too. He prefers people who aren't very skinny, who have some meat on their bones. Strong types, protective vibes, and obviously people who can and are willing to work on a farm and live and deal with animals every day, it's not easy work!

[none-of-these-days]

Dear Mr. Brendon, my assistant forwarded this video tape to me and I must confess that at first I thought your message was a joke in bad taste.

There have certainly been cheaper attempts to get hold of my family's assets. However, after extensive scrutiny by some of the experts I have engaged, it seems that your request is indeed true. Even though I find it hard to believe in things like magic and alternative universes, your message has piqued my interest.

As a successful businessman, love has always been of secondary importance to me. Between meetings and business lunches with potential clients, there has hardly been any time to devote to this topic.

But at 31, I'm gradually getting to an age where it's socially expected to tie the knot. My beloved mother is also eagerly waiting for me to finally find a suitable partner.

As you and my alternative self seem to have had a special bond, I am looking forward to have the opportunity to get to know you better.

Part 2 out of 2 of CEO Johnny's introduction for @cawthorntales bachelor challenge. :D

CEO Johnny Trayfiles / CEO Johnny CC

Some other facts not included in the interview nor the video tape:

Just like canon Johnny, CEO Johnny used to be very passionate about comedy. But Nancy started making fun of him early on in his childhood, which caused him to lose interest in it.

Johnny studied at Foxbury University and has a degree in Business Administration.

Johnny became CEO of one of the family's many businesses at the age of 25. He's a very successful businessman, but doesn't have much time outside of work.

Johnny is very close to his mother and younger brother Malcom. In this universe, Nancy and Geoffrey separated a few years ago. Johnny has had no contact with his father since.

His mother has three poodles. But Johnny considers himself more of a cat person rather than a dog person. The family also has a horse stable in Brindelton Bay. Johnny's horse is called Amadeus, after the famous composer Amadeus Mozart.

Johnny has a private secretary who manages his schedule. Her name is Veronica.

Johnny travels a lot for work, so he's rarely at home. However, he does have a maid and a gardener who keep his house looking good.

Fun fact: The family name in this universe is not Landgraab, but Landgrab. That's because Landgraben is a real word in the German language and my brain automatically corrects Landgraab to Landgrab :D

[theosconfessions]

Brock for @cawthorntales Bachelor Challenge

Brock grew up in the dry ass but GORGEOUS hills of chestnut ridge. While ranching is his passion in life and it wouldve been pretty easy for him to settle into a what his parents/friends/anyone he came in close contact with normal life..and that he did for awhile..until him and his longtime girlfriend broke up. So in the midst of a semi almost but not really close to midlife crisis..brock packed up and moved to Oasis Springs..this might not seem like a big change to your or me but for this wee babe it was. it may as well have been new york for real. while hes been settled here for a month hes finding out that maybe his ideals arent meshing with his current city..hes very much a good ole boy type mindset. he can be a bit of a diva deep down but hes very much his way or no way. and thattttttt isnt favoured by his friends in oasis springs..much less any relationship hes ever been in. while he could romance with the best of them..and sweep them off of their feet..its never for long.and he finds himself right back on tinder...again.... grindr... again... so when he seen the casting call for mr hearts bachelor challenge he had to jump in on that..not only was he SUPER fucking hot....BUT... hes also based in a new city that may seemingly fit his mold a little better.two birds.

[also note from me ..have so much fun doing this bachelor challenge. theyre a lot of work but SO interesting to watch how your babe plays off the others.]

Gem Barrett for @rainymoodlet Rock of Love BC

Private Download if chosen

Back story:

Gem, born in Willow Creek County to the local Pastor and his wife, she was a precocious child and nothing like her older brother. No worries both her parents reminded her constantly of that shortcoming.  For a while the "wild child" curiosity was accepted as toddler antics but as Gem became older her outgoing way was frowned on especially by her mother. It was around the age of 8 when that shift occurred. Gems mom was pregnant with her baby sister, and she remembers everyone being so excited and her parents heading to the hospital so they could bring her little sister home, except only her parents came back. Her mother was never the same towards her again. She would hear her parents arguing and around the age of 12 is the first time she heard her mom utter the phrase "bayou bitch baby" It was not too long after that when she found out the woman that was raising her wasn't her mother at all. It did not make sense to Gem though because neither was her brother. Her older brother was from their fathers first marriage, his mom did not fancy being the pastor's wife or a mom so she left and divorced their dad.

The bomb was dropped when she was 14, her father the good pastor, had an affair early in her mom's marriage to him that resulted in her birth. Due to his standing in the community he didn't want his or his family name to be tarnished. His solution was to have his now wife fake a pregnancy (all while knowing she had fertility issues) until Gem was born. He went so far as to arrange for her birth mother to stay with them towards the end and had a home birth there in the room Gem called her own. That's how they were able to pass her off as her "mother's" child. They kept her birth mom around for the first month and then sent her on her way, no one the wiser.  When her mother lost her baby sister, she lost EVERYTHING that would allow for her to ever carry a child of her own, the only thing that she nurtured now was her bitterness and resentment of Gem. 

Thank god for Gems BFF Liza, or as she was affectionately known, Lying Liza. She was her rock through that toxic childhood, she was her escape.  It was Liza home that she felt loved and wanted, not her own, and she spent more time with them. But Lying Liza was called that for a reason as she was known for the extraordinary tales /Lies she would make up about the things she did and people she met, especially as they became teens. Gem wasn't allowed to listen to much music, especially none of that sinful stuff! With Liza, she was introduced to an eclectic array of music but both their favorite was rock. Iron revival, a rather new band at the time,  was Gems go to when she was needing to get lost in her emotions.

  Liza swore she was a groupie that got to meet some of the leads in their favorite rock groups over spring break and even shared a hot kiss with one though she refused to name( insert eye roll,) ok whatever you say Liza. But it was the summer of their 15th year that she and Liza got the chance to go to an indie rock group festival. The sights, the sounds, so much for Gem to absorb. Needless to say, at the end of that festival Gem came home with more than a T-shirt. 

Nine months later Gem gave birth to a daughter, with her mother staring her down and mumbling, "Bayou Bitch Baby just like HER". Forced to give her up, Gem got 24 hrs with a child she would never see again. They wouldn't even let her name her for the birth certificate. When she could no longer hear the small cries as her parents left with her daughter and when she could no longer finish screaming out her loss and pain because she was empty, she looked and there Liza was, her rock, the only person she confided in with her plan. Six Months later Gem left home and hasn't been back since. 

Fast forward, Gem made her way to the Pacific northwest and met up with some local bands in the Granite Falls area.  She realized she had a knack with people, planning, and an ear for music and how to best showcase it. Though she might have been the wild child her parents barely tolerated, one thing for sure that not even they could deny was how smart Gem was.  She spent the next several years building her business and brand. When it came to giving the smaller bands, the break needed to help boost them, you went to see her. She started to be known as the go to, Promotional Gems was a name those on the come up could trust. She was always about giving people a chance. Fairly sure it was to make up for all the chances her own family never extended to her. 

Liza would come up and visit her over the years, bring news from home, it was a few years back, right before Lying Liza went and found love, picket fences and 2.5 kids that she brought word of Gems father. He was on Hospice and wanted his daughter to come home, Gem refused him the visit, but not the letter he sent her. There he told Gem about her biological mother, how she showed up one day a couple years back, told him of the letters she had been writing and that he knew nothing about. Seems Gems "mother" had been intercepting all those letters and had hid them. He promised he would have her brother mail them to her along with where she could find her if she desired. That day wasn't until after her father passed away when her brother showed up at her office with the all the letters her biological mom had written to her over the years.  It was too late though, when Gem went back to Willow Creek County (seems her mother hadn't gone too far as she wanted to be close to her daughter) she found her in a nursing home with late-stage Alzheimer.  

Gem spent her mother's last few months going back and forth between Granite falls and Willow Creek County.  During this time, she began to think more and more of family, specifically the daughter she was made to give up, the mother she never got to know and what she may want to do with her life.   

When one of her favorite bands from her youth has a member show back up in the spotlight and willing to do a BC.. the teen heart that played their CD's until even the walls of her room knew the lyrics, she melted at the chance to connect with someone whose music unknowingly was part of her healing during her darkest time, was a beacon and safe harbor whenever the headphones went on. So Yeah, Gem is signing up in hopes of...... 

Hope, love and even the nerve to try and find her the daughter lost to her 

Does she have what it takes to Rock it out long enough to be Jacksons Rock of Love 

*Gem is a townie remake from @cowplant-snacks Townie group C
