Round Fifteen - T. Harrison
Oct. 15th, 2023 08:57 am
Last Round - Starla became an adult at the start of the round, and quickly met townie Travis while out on a community lot, and they hit it off! The penguin seemed to be stalking this household all round, they had at least one sighting a day. Theo had his birthday this round as well, and also is an adult now! Angelie sold the bookstore and retired. Starla went out on a date with Travis and they fell in love, and by the end of the round she proposed and they moved out together, and Theo moved out on his own too!
Who's Who in the Zoo?
Theo is the younger brother of Starla Harrison, their moms are Angelie and Joanna. Angelie was the older daughter of founders Sawyer and Dahlia Harrison, and his aunt is Marina. He has one cousin, Veronica Rossi.

Theo moved into my made-over Bella's Belles townhomes, where his neighbour is Louise Crosby who he's been seeing in her round earlier in the rotation. Time now to decorate his place!







His first want is to have a party - his primary aspiration is popularity B which is public enemy. I've given some thought to how I want to play that aspiration out since I have a few of them now, and since they're popularity Sims they're going to roll the usual wants for friends and parties despite being a little anti-social according to my aspiration system.
My plan going forward is to just really encourage the pricklier aspects of their personalities - pranking people (especially those they don't know well) and lots of arguing, annoying and poking, as well as bragging and gossiping a lot. Ideally all the Popularity B Sims will quickly end up with bad reputations!

Speaking of prickly personalities, one of the first guests at Theo's housewarming party is his sister Starla, saying hello to Louise!


A little dancing with Louise.


Brett made it to the party too!

See there's that pranking want I was looking for!

Meanwhile the good witch is making out with townie Charlie, another neighbour. This good witch is a neighbour as well, I feel like there are two good witches in town somehow, this townie one but also a regular special character, I'm not sure how it happened but... here we are! I could be misremembering but I'm pretty sure that's the situation.

Theo went in for that prank!

Sabrina also came to the party - a reminder for the drama, he's currently seeing Louise, but he was sort of seeing Sabrina when they were teenagers. Or more like they briefly dated, he got insanely angry and jealous when she went on a date with Ewan, stalked her a bunch, kissed another girl (Simone) on her front lawn out of nowhere, and then they sort of reconciled later.

Brett seems mostly oblivious to all this, he just wants to show off this cool team cheer he must have learned on TV, because Brightmaple has no university.


Oh speaking of drama, here's Theo's third love interest now, Simone! She was the one he kissed on Sabrina's front lawn (it was her first kiss too). She is also his sister Starla's best friend.

He started flirting with her, but I guess Louise isn't the jealous type (and his and Sabrina's romance hasn't been rekindled since they became adults either).

In fact everybody seemed to be getting along pretty great so far!

Did I mention his secondary is romance A? Serial romancer. I think by now it's obvious!

As all good parties do this turned into a kitchen party at the end.

One moment he's smooching Louise, the next...

I've got whiplash! However there was coitus interruptus due to the party ending, so Sabrina left before anything actually happened.


Seeya!

Louise let herself in the next day.


They were hanging out for a while watching TV, and then Theo got a call.


You know he did!

His sister was there, and also Simone's sister Carla, plus a couple townies.

They went to The Roof, Theo tried out the DJ booth.


He's not the most skilled!

But everyone was having a great time regardless!

They got some food up on the patio with a great view of the city lights.


Theo wanted to do some karaoke.


Continuing their romancing from earlier this round in Starla's turn, Theo and Simone!

The next day though, it's time for business! Theo's opened a new business in town, a gym! This is Iron Theory.






Testing out the equipment to make sure it's working well.

Mom Joanna is first at the ticket machine to support her baby boy!

I get kind of mama's boy vibes from Theo honestly. In real life he would bring his laundry home for his mom to do for him.

Callum showing up Theo in his own gym on the treadmills!

Winnie was also having quite a bit of a difficulty on these darn contraptions!

Also I noticed that she seems to have an engagement ring on.... and remember in their round I was having issues with getting her and Oliver engaged? Apparently they already are... or she is to someone... except she's not?? So that's kinda glitchy. I'm gonna look into that more...



Mama Angelie also came to show her support!


Back at home, Louise is over at Theo's place more than her own honestly! I also gave her a new outfit that suits her personality a bit better.

They had a little impromptu home date to satisfy a want of Theo's.

Cuties!


That's VERY interesting!
He doesn't seem ready for this yet, no such wants himself, but it's possible it will come since the two of them actually have nearly identical personalities, including the same primary and secondary aspiration.

In the meantime, this is a given. I made her selectable just in case of an oops baby, but no such thing happened this time.


The landlady now just awkwardly barges in while they're eating breakfast to stare at them. A little creepy...


They decided to get out of there for a while and head to the sports field for some activity.

The dang evil witch showed up and ruined the weather though :\


They found an undercover spot and made the best of it though...


Theo's got multiple makeouts on the mind, and so far he's made out with Sabrina and Louise, but not Simone. So you know what that means...


He invites her over and lays down the charm. Somehow I missed getting a picture, but as you can see, mission success:


Oh and also this happened! Once again no risky woohoo babies.

As soon as they were done Simone just got up and left which was honestly hilarious.

The next morning Theo decides to walk to work in his pajamas (?)

His brother in law Travis came for a workout today. I love how friends and family show up to support businesses so much!


Finding townies to flirt with is just another perk of the job.

Probably not the best idea, plus you have literally zero need for an employee at this business.

They've now just accepted that the landlord is always hanging around the house and include her in conversations.


Now he wants to visit the good witch neighbour.... witchy romance perhaps?


I'm still rooting for them most of all though.


More work at the gym, he does have quite a lot of debt to pay off.


Hoping to unwind after work (and hoping to hustle pool) Theo went to The Scoreboard.



Having some difficulties.

But she's not!

So much for hustling pool, he got hustled instead! Poor Theo!
On this slightly down note (don't worry, he's fine!) his round is finished for now!
