TS4: The Roomies - Week 3

After only a few months in real life, we are already back at the Roomies - this time for Zoe Patel. You can read the second week here.

 On this Monday morning, the first thing Zoe does is mop the floor in her bathroom.

 Her housemates go to work (Gavin Richards here)...

 ...repair a broken faucet (J Huntington)...

 ...or need cheering up (Mitchell Kalanis).

Zoe's lifetime want is to be "Friend of the World", and so for her, it is socialise, socialise, socialise. Here, she has spotted Giulianna Riley walking by, and is eager to get to know her.

Shortly afterwards, Pierce Delgato, Olivia Spencer-Kim-Lewis and Geoffrey Landgraab - all of them familiar faces in my game - join Zoe in conversation.

On Tuesday morning, Gavin reaches a milestone while he is still asleep: He has now written five books.

 Any free minute he has, J can be found working out.

Zoe was worried about Mitchell being so down yesterday. She makes sure to sit at the table with him while he is having a meal before going to work. Yes, she is a good friend.

One of her best friends is Summer Holiday, who has the same lifetime want. More often than not, she comes over on her own accord, and is always welcome. 

 It is Wednesday morning, and Zoe wakes up in a playful mood.

Olivia Spencer-Kim-Lewis, the little girl she befriended earlier this week, invites her to her birthday party! That is a welcome surprise, and of course Zoe dons a party outfit, wraps up a present for the girl, and heads over to the Spencer-Kim-Lewis house.

Bella Goth is their hired caterer, and strangely enough, she makes two cakes - one with candles, one without. 

Zoe talks to Olivia's mother Alice and fellow guest Travis Scott.

Then Olivia turns into a young adult - what happened to her teenage years?! I am confused and wonder whether this is a bug in my game. Maybe it has something to do with the TWO birthday cakes, making Olivia age up twice instead of once?

Anyway, here she is, talking to her friend Zoe.

To the left you can see her younger sister Ophelia, house mate Guilianna Riley and her Dad in the back.

J should have been part of the party, too - look how well he can mix drinks!

It is Thursday when Zoe has more friends visiting on their own accord: Mortimer Goth and Olivia Kim-Spencer-Lewis.

Zoe must not forget working on her charisma if she wants to reach another milestone.

Gavin returns from work with a promotion: He now works as an Advice Columnist. Zoe is the first to congratulate him.

Mitchell has been promoted, too: He is now the Opening Act to any comedy show he's booked for.

On Friday, Zoe invites Giulianna Riley, Geoffrey Landgraab and Summer Holiday. Gavin (standing behind Summer) has been writing away in his room for hours and should really socialise a bit, too.

Saturday is a typical day at the Roomies: Zoe is on the phone, talking to her friends; Mitchell eats...

...Gavin writes...

...and J works out.

I'm in for a surprise on Sunday. The lady wearing a headscarf and bare-shouldered dress is no other than Katrina Caliente, apparently! I would not have recognised her and wonder what my game is up to, changing Sims' outfits autonomously and growing up kids to adults skipping the teenage stage.

It was a fun week with several achievements for everyone. Zoe still has plenty to do; of the 20 friends for her next milestone, she has only 10 so far. We are going to be back here when it is time to play the letter R (as in Gavin Richards).

No romance yet for any of them, but I noticed that J Huntington and Travis Scott are now best friends - and when they were chatting on Sunday, Travis was in a flirty mood.
