The Sims 4: The BBF Household, Week 4

You can find Week 3 with this household here.

This time, we are here because of Travis Scott. His surname is next on my alphabetical list. Well, actually, it would be "Roth", for the Roth family in TS2. But maybe you remember that somehow, inexplicably, the Roths have disappeared from my game. And while I can still see their character files with the help of SimPE, I have not yet managed to get them back properly.

Therefore, I have to skip them once again, and move on along the list. Hi there, Travis! With him in the picture is Liberty Lee, one of his house mates.

Summer Frost is a relatively recent addition - I had her move in because her surname is that of a playable Sim in TS2, Ellen Frost.

Summer Holiday lived in this house from the start.

The house is still the same, too. Let's see what is happening on this Monday.

For her next milestone, Liberty Lee needs to upgrade or launch a rocket 5 times. So far, I have never played with a rocket in this game - a good occasion to find out more! I purchase a rocket building set and place it in one corner of the garden.

Strangely, although I had no problem placing the set, Liberty can not access it. Only after I move it to a different corner, she can start unpacking those boxes and constructing the rocket.

I leave her to it and check on Travis - after all, he is my reason for playing here this week.

The two Summers have a guest; Mitchell Kalani. You have met him several times already, he is one of the "Roomies", another playable household here.

An invitation pops up: It is Eric Lewis' birthday, and I accept. The group (minus Summer Holiday, who has to work) travel to the Spencer-Kim-Lewis house, where they meet the birthday boy. Eric is the one in the pale pink t-shirt. Travis, Summer and Liberty have changed into what they consider party outfits. I won't say any more!

I can not help but be amazed at the seemingly random choice of catering staff the game comes up with. For this occasion, the caterer is Gavin Richards, another member of the Roomies household.

Everybody cheers loudly as Eric blows out the candles on his birthday cake. He has just reached adulthood, meaning he was a young adult until now. That is funny, as the older of his two daughters is already a young adult herself.

It is Tuesday when I find Travis strutting around the place in a very confident mood. See the shiny coffee maker? That is a career rewards object I found in Summer Holiday's inventory.

Travis goes straight to his room and dances to the music from the stereo.

Liberty keeps working on her rocket and reaches Rocket Science level 3.

On Wednesday morning, Summer and Liberty have breakfast together.

Summer Frost prepares a bowl of garden salad on Thursday.

Summer Holiday takes care of today's gardening.

Meanwhile, Travis talks to Dina Caliente.

He is never short of female company, being the only man in the house. On this Friday, he and Summer Frost have breakfast together.

Mitchell Kalani and Opehlia Spencer-Kim walk by and stop for a chat with Travis later that day.

On Saturday, it is again the two Summers who have a meal together.

Liberty Lee has been working on her rocket and went for one or two trips into space already. She ages up that day (from young adult to adult), but there was no party - I was distracted by trying to keep everybody happy and working on their milestones.

Sunday starts with another spot of gardening, this time for Summer Frost.

She receives a visit by Johnny Zest. Johnny and Summer are friends, and he comes over on his own initiative. Maybe you remember Johnny as another playable Sim in this game.

Liberty is off on another trip into space, fulfilling another milestone.

Travis has not been doing badly, either. He has programmed a mobile app and spent many hours at the computer to reach his next milestone.

When talking to Johnny, Summer has the option to become best friends with him. I jump at the chance, and immediately afterwards, the two of them take a picture together on Johnny's initiative.

Travis ends the week by talking to Babs L'Amour, another playable neighbour who has been walking by.

Progress is still slow for everyone, but each of the four BBFs have managed to reach at least one or more minor goals. 

Summer Frost, the newcomer, still sleeps in Liberty Lee's bed when Liberty does not need it - the house mates still refuse to sleep in the same bed in spite of being friends, all of them. But Johnny's obvious interest in Summer Frost makes me think that maybe she can move in with him when it is time to play his household.

I had fun playing the rocket trips, reading the stories and deciding on what to do next. I wonder how many stories there are! And I also wonder whether there will ever be any romance for any of the BBFs.
