Jill Smith - Week 1

This is about the adult Jill Smith, a former NPC Garden Club Member who was moved in by Ajay Loner, as can be read here.

Here is Jill... 
...and here is Ajay Loner's house at No. 93 Road to Nowhere, which is now Jill's address, too. 
The house is still small and still as modestly furnished as when we last saw it, and it still has only one bedroom. Ajay and Jill share the double bed, but so far, neither has initiated any romantic interaction or rolled such wishes. 
Jill is a typical Romance Sim who dreams of having 20 lovers, and here she can be seen with her three-bolt man, Abhijeet Cho.
A cosy time is had on this Monday afternoon, and Abhi does indeed become the 1st name on Jill's list - in spite of him living just down the road with Bella Goth, who is expecting his child! 
Good job that Ajay is not (yet) romantically interested in Jill, or else it would make life very difficult for the housemates with Jill inviting her conquests over. 
She and Ajay are best friends, and Jill is grateful to him for having asked her to move to Strangetown for good. We shall see how things will play out during this week. 
Ajay's working days start very early, and this Tuesday is no exception, but he never forgets to feed the fish before the car pool arrives.
Hours later, Jill gets up, ready to conquer the world (and another man). 
Just across the road from Ajay's house are a clothes shop, a small supermarket and a former chapel turned shop where magazines, videos and other things can be bought. Jill heads there late morning.
She buys some outfits and of course has noticed the attractive man across the clothes racks. 
In the groceries shop, she meets and greets Loki Beaker, who seems to find her quite attractive.
She arrives back home in time to congratulate Ajay for his latest promotion: He is now a Whale Tracker - and needs quite a few more skills plus two more friends.
The afternoon is spent getting to know a passers-by, townie Clarence Philippine. He expresses his wish to become best friends, and Jill agrees (and wants more than that, of course). 
There is enough money to allow for some improvements. Apart from the clothes I had her buy yesterday, on Wednesday a much nicer dining table and chairs are bought, as well as a new toilet and finally a bathtub with shower.
Much to her surprise, Jill spots young Johnny Smith walking by. Shouldn't he be at college (and have grown into a young adult)? Anyway, she greets him, and they become friends over a game of kicky bag.
Ajay already has good mechanical skills but getting more will be a good investment of his spare time, and so I have him repair the TV himself instead of calling the repair service. 
On Thursday, just as Jill is feeding the fish (Ajay has already fed them early in the morning, but she did it on her own initiative), Abhijeet appears for a surprise visit. 
Jill loves him, and he is her 3-bolt-man - but she does not want to keep him away from the soon-to-be mother of his child and sends him on his way after a hug and a kiss.
Sarah Love, recently graduated from La Fiesta Tech and moved to Strangetown, walks by and is invited to stay for a bowl of Mac & Cheese. She tells her host about a hobby membership she has (I am sure she has more than one, like most students who spend a lot of time playing chess, dancing or doing other things worth a membership). 
On Friday morning, Ajay and Jill go jogging together - he needs the body skill for his career, and Jill has such a low skill profile that anything is welcome to improve that. 
They are both shattered afterwards, and since Ajay has the day off, they enjoy a long nap. 
Later, Gunnar Roque walks by and is greeted by Jill - and a little to my dismay (I must admit that), she has three bolts for him! 
No wonder he is allowed to give her a hug almost immediately after she has greeted him, and by the time he leaves, they have a crush on each other. 
Saturday turns out to be a really good day for both Jill and Ajay. First, she makes Clarence Philippine her 2nd lover. 
Then, Ajay returns from work with a promotion to Deep Sea Fisherman - and because he has been skilling whenever he wasn't at work, he only needs one body skill point for the next step on the career ladder. With Jill steadily working on her love life, there is no lack of friends, either.
With it being one of the first nice sunny days of spring and Ajay's promotion to celebrate, she makes hot dogs while he has a shower. 
They talk about money, but Ajay reassures Jill that it is perfectly fine for her living off his money; she does not feel at all inclined to get a job but has to admit to a bit of a nagging conscience because of that. 
(There still have not been any romantic interactions or wishes between these two, in spite of them sharing a bed every night and having a two bolt attraction.) 
While Ajay is out jogging in order to get the required body skill, Jill manages to add a third name to her list of lovers: Christian Love. 
I guess it was just a question of time - on Sunday, Jill has just invited Gunnar Roque over to work on her friendship and turn their crush into love when who should walk by but Christian Love. 
He is not amused to see Jill hugging and kissing another man, and the scene results not only in Jill being slapped but also starts off a daily routine of having their rubbish bin kicked over. 
Still, it was worth it, as Gunnar is now Jill's 4th lover (and the second 3-bolt-man for her). She is quite frank in telling him about her lifetime want and revealing that she already has three lovers, although they only really count until the red heart has appeared. 
Maybe it will be different with Gunnar, who as a fellow Romance Sim understands Jill. 

This is where the week with the adult Jill Smith ends. I had fun with her, although I am not really a fan of her lifetime want. Fortunately, so far Ajay has not suffered, because the two aren't in love. I wonder how long before one of them will initiate something to change that! 
Off to La Fiesta Tech now, where we'll see how Johnny Smith is faring.

Ajay Loner - Week 1

Welcome back to Strangetown! We are going to spend a week at No. 93 Road to Nowhere, a small house right next to where the four ladies making up the Singles household live. 
The house is furnished very modestly but has everything to cover a Sim's basic needs, with an open plan kitchen-dining-lounge area, a small shower room and a bedroom. There is also patio at the back of the house, reached from the kitchen, where a grill has been set up. 
Ajay Loner has just moved in here, with a little more than 6,600 Simoleons left in cash, so he can afford a few first improvements (mainly a better bed). 
According to Maxis, he "has come to Strangetown hoping to find himself. Will he be successful in his new home or will the odd things that always seem to happen here drive him away?" That's his household bio; his personal one reads: "To pass the hours, Ajay enjoys counting the grains of sand in his backyard." 
Well, as he is a Fortune Sim, I suppose Ajay will prefer counting the Simoleons on his bank account; he fancies himself as future Hand of Poseidon and that should give him a nice income. But before he has a chance to reach his lifetime want, he'll have to work hard - there is not a single point in his skill profile, and he has no friends yet, only knowing a handful of other Strangetown residents. 
On this Monday, he is successful on the job front right away: Tomorrow morning as early as 4:00 am, he will start as a Fish Chummer. 
To welcome him to the neighbourhood, Chloe Singles from next door, Stephen Cho (who also has recently moved to a small property on Road to Nowhere) and Vidcund Curious join Ajay for a round of lunch meat sandwiches. 
Then, Jenny Smith - the Smiths of course have been living on 101 Road to Nowhere for a long time - rings and asks Ajay to come along for a meal at the One-Twenty-Five Café. 
Nice to see that the small group consisting of Pascal Curious, Ajay and the Smiths are all sitting at the same table! Their food has just been delivered, and Jenny here seems to critically compare her plate of Lobster Thermidor with the description on the menue. 
Because Ajay's job starts hours before sunrise the next morning, he leaves soon after the meal. Just before his taxi is there to drop him off home, he meets & greets Jill Smith, a distant relative of his hosts and neighbours. 
Although it really is awfully early when Ajay has to get up on Tuesday morning, he has slept well in his new bed and feels fit for his first day on the job. The ship model on the side table was already there; it suits his Oceanography career and so it stays. 
His smile upon his return says it all: Ajay has been promoted to Dolphin Tank Cleaner.
A shower and a mechanical skill point later, he greets another one of his next-door neigbhours, Kristen Singles. 
"That's great - first day on the job and already promoted!" Kristen says over their bowls of Mac & Cheese. But it's been an early start and eventful day for Ajay, and he soon says good-bye to his guest and goes to bed.
Wednesday sees him returning from work with another promotion, starting as a Sea Lice Researcher tomorrow. The rest of the day goes by quickly; by the time he's had a shower, rang Jill Smith (becoming friends), ate a leftover sandwich and made a mechanical skill point, Ajay is well ready for bed. 
On Thursday, Ajay's days of researching sea lice are over already - tomorrow, he will be back to wearing a wet suit, as he has just been promoted to Dive Master.
To help him celebrate, he invites Jill Smith over. Kicky-bag is great for cementing friendships AND having fun at the same time.
The two of them enjoy glasses of champagne with leftover Mac & Cheese before Ajay says good-bye to Jill and goes to bed. 
On Friday, Ajay is promoted to Underwater Demolitionists. Skills and friends are needed now; his next promotion is not going to come along as quickly as the ones until now. 
Saturday is just another work day for Ajay, but at least he manages to make friends with Jenny Smith over the phone (as per his wish, as well as being required for his next promotion), and invites Jill Smith over for the evening. The two of them are now best friends, but so far, Ajay has not shown any romantic wishes about any of his female friends and acquaintances. 
Jenny's friendship makes all the difference - on Sunday, Ajay is promoted to Marine Biologist and can now place the koi pond in his garden.
He ends the week not only successful in his career, but also by moving in former townie Jill Smith. They have no romantic relationship (yet), but with Jill being a typical Romance Sim who wants to have 20 Lovers, I guess she'll make him #1 on her list... and then will find her own place. 
She has 3 bolts for Abhijeet Cho, by the way, who lives close by and is just about to start a family with Bella Goth.

Another relaxing week with a single Sim. Ajay's day-to-day life may be less colourful than Don's, but it was still nice to play him in his small, well-ordered house and most of his wishes easy to fulfill.

Larson Family Album

Here are some pictures from the Larsons' first week in New Maximiliania:

The house where Jason and Jodie lived when they first arrived in the neighbourhood:

Back view of the house. 

They furnished it nicely.

But there was only enough room for a shared bedroom - less than ideal for two adults.

A closer look at the bedroom. 

Both found jobs in their dream career quickly.

They spent some time reading in order to get the skills needed for their promotions.

Jodie meeting Ajay Loner for the first time - and obviously liking what she sees!

She soon found out that the feeling was mutual.

Jodie asked Ajay to move in with her and her brother, and he accepted.

Maybe he had not realised he was going to have to sleep on the settee!

But already on the next day, the three housemates moved out and into a bigger place.
