The Sims 4: The Fogel and L'Amour Household - Week 2

About four years ago, I last played these two households. Therefore, I did not remember exactly what had been going on, and had to re-read their first weeks before I started to play them again now. If you want to do the same, simply click on the labels "TS4: Fogel" and "TS4: L'Amour" and scroll down to their first weeks.

Last "week", Steve and Babs decided to live togehter at Steve's house here in Oasis Springs. It is a pretty little house; the small pool was added by me as per Babs' wish in 2015. Together, they have 11,009 Simoleons.

Here they are. Babs still wants to have romantic relationships with more than one Sim, and one of her milestones is to kiss 10 Sims. Steve is determined to advance further in the entertainment career; he is working on his comedy skills mainly.

On Monday, they have breakfast together. Babs is rather tense as she feels "smothered" in her relationship with Steve, who has no idea of his girlfriend's discomfort.

When Steve is out for work, she invites a passing townie in, Abel Alcala. Here she is striking a flirtatious pose for him.

Ooops! Were is Abel's hand?! Don't worry, he wasn't really grabbing her breast, the camera perspective just makes it look like it. But there is certainly something going on between these two.

When Steve comes home, he spends hours at the computer, writing comedy routines and jokes in order to refine his skill and get promoted.

Babs lingers outside and talks to almost everyone she meets. Here she is doing what she likes best - chatting to a group of admiring men!

Not everybody instantly falls for her charms, though!

On Tuesday, she repeats her look-out for new acquaintances. Bradley Milton - we've seen him before, I am sure - is interested, though. And in the distance you can see an NPC I am certainly going to try and make playable: Summer Frost. Why her? Because, if you remember, there was playable student Ellen Frost in TS2, and I want to include all TS4 Sims who have "playable" surnames from TS2.

Nancy Landgraab comes visting on her own accord. Although Babs is not interested in female friends, she politely sits and chats with Nancy for a while.

On Wednesday, a bit of house work is called for. Babs repairs the broken shower, while Steve mops the floor. I must say that both of them are rather good about cleaning, putting plates away and so on.

Another sunny afternoon for Babs, spent talking to her male neighbours.

Thursday starts with breakfast taken standing around in the kitchen. I have not yet worked out what makes a Sim decide where to have their meal - at the table, on the settee, even on the bed, or just standing near the fridge where they took the food from.

I send the couple to the "Solar Flare", a community lot not far from their house.

Here, Steve uses first the open mic and then the guitar to attract a small audience.

Babs prefers to explore the vicinity, and finds a time capsule.

Later, they meet at the bar for a drink and some chips/crisps before heading home.

On Friday, Babs invites Summer Frost over. Travis Scott is also there.

The man whose back you see here is one of Babs' many conquests, I believe it is Deandre Bundy, whom she met during her first week while she was still single. The two of them have just shared a kiss when Steve comes storming in, rightly accusing his girlfriend of cheating on him. Poor Steve! He walks around very angry for the rest of the day, and the next. Babs' attempts to apologise are not well receipts.

Here she is on Saturday morning, chatting (to a man, of course!) while Steve practises the guitar, his back to her.

By the way, "Zombie Carl" was in the time capsule. It is a deco object putting Sims in a playful mood.

The week ends with the couple reconciling in bed, but Steve can't help feeling sad - it slowly seems to dawn on him that what he considered the love of his life will probably never be entirely and solely "his". 
Still, he completed several milestones and was promoted, so it wasn't too bad a week for him.

Travis Scott has met Summer Frost, so I hope to see more of her when I'll play his household again.
