  • 08 – Introducing, Don Lothario



    150 Main Street, home of Don Lothario. The latest resident of Sim Heights to have a day in the spotlight. Here you can see his split-level deck with Telescope, Bar, Hi-Fi and Hot-tub.



    The single room upstairs, Don’s Bedroom.



    The ground floor, comprising entrance way, open plan Kitchen / Diner / Rec Room / Lounge and separate Bathroom.



    Don has the day off today from his job as a Medical Intern, and decides to spend a little time tidying up random piles of rubbish which are scattered around his home.



    Don calls Dina Bachelor, inviting she and sister Nina Caliente over.



    As he waits for his guests, Don has a protein drink.



    Still no sign of his guests, Don reads up on Cleaning, a requirement of promotion.



    Still no sign of the sisters but Gretchen Chin randomly walks by.



    Don wastes no time in introducing himself.



    And is quickly turning on the charm.



    Moving a little too quickly for Gretchen, she rejects his advances.



    Changing tact, Don tries a slower approach. Christopher Tsang, another random walkby, has nothing which appeals to Don and is totally ignored.



    The slower approach pays off as Don and Gretchen become friends.



    Gretchen reveals she is related to Don’s boss and promises him a promotion.



    Don skilfully turns the charm on again and steers Gretchen towards the house.



    Don shares some gossip on Mortimer Goth (Father of his Fiancée, Cassandra) as another random walkby, Troy Go is also ignored.



    Don has managed to work his way indoors as the charming continues.



    And yet further inside as Gretchen falls even more under his sway.



    Don presents Gretchen with a gift (a ReNuYuGen Bottle).



    Nina Bachelor calls to apologise for the sisters no showing as Gretchen helps herself to one of Don’s protein drinks.



    As evenings falls, Don takes things to the hot-tub.



    With Gretchen quick to follow.



    Don suggests relaxing on the bed. To ‘cool off’.



    Things soon develop the way Don intended.



    The pictures speak for themselves as midnight hits.

    With the benefit of re-publishing magic. Don did indeed get the promotion he was promised.



  • 07 – Introducing, Marigold Gardner



    Meet Marigold Gardner. New owner of 1 Observatory Way and the latest resident in the district of Strangetown. As a plantsim, her needs are very simple: Sunlight, Water, and Love.



    Her house is a spacious but practical Bungalow. An open plan Kitchen/ Lounge, separate Bedroom area and Bathroom.



    Despite her simple needs, Marigold still requires an income and checks the local newspaper. She spots vacancies for a Security Guard.



    Playground Monitor.



    Or Army Recruit. None particularly appeal and Marigold opts to live off her savings until something more suitable can be found.



    Eliott Stargazer stops by to say hi. He and Marigold get on wonderfully.



    Eliott can’t leave Polly for more than a couple of minutes and is soon forced to head off. Marigold takes the chance to throw out the newspaper.



    Then on to her keep-fit routine.



    And on to a bath as Midnight hits…

  • 06 – Introducing, The Stargazer Household



    5 Observatory Way. Home of Eliott Stargazer, and Daughter Polly. The newest residents of Sim Heights. This time in the district of Strangetown where the abnormal is, well, normal.



    With only himself and Polly to accommodate, Eliott requires a minimal amount of space. His single level dwelling has an open plan Kitchen/ Lounge, Bathroom and single Bedroom.



    With his Daughter’s future in mind, Eliott wants to find employ.



    Jobs in Social Services, or as a Masseuse, are too low paid for too many hours. Pro Wrestling is not something he has considered but the hours mean he can work while Polly sleeps and the pay is good.







    Ever the doting father, Eliott ensures Polly is fed.



    Before fixing Spaghetti Bolognese for himself.



    He settles down in front of the TV with his food.



    Before checking on Polly and then turning in for the night.



    So ends another un-eventful day in Sim Heights. Twice in a row? Something is brewing…

  • 05 – Introducing, The Bachelor/ Caliente Household



    Welcome to 170 Main Street, home to sisters Dina Bachelor & Nina Caliente. Here we see the roof deck. Hot-tub, Bar and Sun Loungers, complete with (waterproof?) Hi-Fi.



    First Floor, Nina’s room (Blue) and Dina’s, which she shared with her late husband, Michael Bachelor, the Bathroom and a small balcony.



    Ground Floor, Kitchen/ Dining Room and large Lounge with Exercise machine and Urn (Michael Bachelor’s).



    As Nina heads outside to collect the paper she notices a small potted shrub which reminds her of Mary Gavigan. Nina HATES Mary Gavigan.



    Nina opts for a job as a Masseuse.



    As Dina pours some drinks.



    Drink in hand, and with evening approaching, Nina enjoys some music.



    Dina however, decides against drinking and watches TV instead.



    Easily the single most eventful thing to have happened in this household today.



    Quickly rendered mundane.



    The girls settle down for the night.
