Round Seventeen - T. Harrison

[kayleigh83]

Last Round - Theo died of food poisoning, but thanks to a mod loophole I didn't remember I had, he was able to beg for his own life and be resurrected immediately! Thanks to ROS he woohooed four times with four women in four different locations! He also went on two dates with a townie named Daphne.

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.





Up in the morning to cook up a healhy omelette before it's off for a day of work at his gym, Iron Theory!





Hustling to sell those gym memberships!



Customers seem to like these treadmills. Not enough to give any loyalty stars mind you... progress on gym businesses is painful.



They shopped at the same place for their shirts!





Theo loves personal training because it gives him a credible excuse to be mean and yell at people!



Lucy is there working on her fitness!



Max gets one on one boxing lessons.



I tried adding this climbing wall because I thought it would be a cool addition and hopefully help attract customers and rank the business up faster. But it doesn't seem like it has autonomy for business patrons because nobody used it ever, except for Theo. Or the advertising is way too low? :/ So I'm not sure if I'll leave it for looks or just remove it next time, but that was kind of disappointing.



All of the elder Lewis clan showed up today (Whitney was out of frame but she was there too!)



Theo's mom Angelie dropped by to visit him when he got home from work that night, and they hung out for a while and watched a game on TV.





That's something I can accomodate!





He does seem to quite enjoy karaoke.



A flair for the dramatic!



Jasmine Dionne was there and their chemistry is really strong, so he said hello. She might be the cousin of his on again, off again girl Sabrina, but when have such considerations ever stopped Theo? Never, that's when!





They flirted a little bit and he asked her on a date, which she accepted.



Now it's karaoke duets!





They had a bite of sushi after that, but I guess her motives were pretty low so the date ended prematurely!



Hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave!



Undeterred, Theo found Simone (with her janky haircut, and wrong pants thanks to a merging glitch) in a dark theatre, and they accompanied one another to the photobooth.





Onward and upward I guess!



Theo tried to drop by Louise's house that night, but thanks to apartments being how they are, it was just really glitchy. Louise was frozen and unable to be interacted with, even after trying to reset her.



He was able to dance a little with Ronin which was kind of cute!



The next day it's back at the gym - his sister Starla shows up wearing the wrong maternity wear!



That's better. Hope she's being careful at the gym what with being in her third trimester!



Chandler takes a go at the punching bag.





The dramatic expressions on the treadmill are so funny.



Trying a slightly more gentle and encouraging tone with his personal training today, apparently!



Poor Marceline has already borne the brunt of his usual techniques before, so she doesn't seek out any personal training for herself.





Theo and Hiroko do the whole long and elaborate secret handshake routine.



Plus a little light flirtation.



Well you know what, sure! The day is almost over anyways!



Ooooh, ouch Clementine!



That's better!



Clementine turns out to be Theo's blind date! And would you look at that, they also have excellent chemistry.



Unfortunately getting that date rolling was harder than expected. As soon as he closed the business so they could actually go do something, she decided that meant the date was ending.

He called and asked her out again, but the date was ended when they tried to leave the lot.



Finally got it to work by having him go to the restaurant first and then call and invite her from there.



Dining at the newest restaurant in town, La Cantina Marinara - owned by Theo's cousin Veronica!





They're so cute and were having a very romantic time.





Strutting over to give her a big old kiss.





The night ended with a little exhibitionism!



That was a very long work day followed by a very long date night!



While he was out, the landlady let herself in to leave some spoiled hot dogs on the counter (a possible traumatic reminder for Theo, who did after all die last round thanks to food poisoning).



She also turned on his stereo and left it playing. Rude :/



At least she's dealing with the roach problem. 



Today he wanted to see Clementine again so he called her over.



I read Clementine as such a ditzy, head in the clouds girl (like Phoebe from Friends) so her showing up to stand in the garden and laugh at the flowers like they were having some kind of private joke is so on brand for her.







After a little dancing, he asks her what she wants and....



Her wish is his command! This is a much more comfortable and private venue than last night too.



They enjoyed a bite to eat before she headed back home for the night.





It was upon reviewing these pictures of ultimate gym bro Theo going on a monologue to this poor teen townie (about macros and supplements or something probably) that I decided I need to change his hobby from sports to fitness. It's just the best fit for him! I'll be doing that next round for sure.

Also he kind of reminded me of this meme lol



OMG Tyler I take back everything bad I ever said about you, thank you for the loyalty star!!!



He finally ranked up 😭 God this business is a slog...



Mom Joanna is there to show support! But even she didn't give a loyalty star 🥺



Ronald and Adela always seem to coincidentally show up at community lots at the same time. Which I'm choosing to read as them having a strong friendship and co-parenting relationship. I do mean to remove their love flags when I play one of them next so they aren't doing autonomous romance interactions, since they never roll wants for each other and also Ronald is engaged now. They really were just a one night stand type thing anyways, so I don't think either would have any old feelings to hold on to anyways.



But that's it for the day for Theo!



Theo rolled this want which I've never even seen before! Not sure exactly which Sims the game defines as service Sims? No one has maids or gardeners in town?



Fate deposited another potential date for Mr Serial Romancer Secondary - Agnes was reading his paper on his porch when he got back home. So he invited her in.



She laughed a little too hard at his jokes - surely Theo can't be that funny...





Well one thing led to another and it turned out.... she got pregnant. Risky woohoo strikes again! Funny that's also how two of his usual girlfriends (Louise and Adela) ended up having kids too. And now it's Theo's turn!

I decided that Theo would ask Agnes to move in, feeling it was the responsible thing to do. Besides, it's not like he's asking her to marry him or anything. He doesn't have any obligation to be faithful - in his mind!

So I moved her in and gave her the full townie to playable Cinderella makeover, including calculating her aspirations and such (we'll get more into her stats momentarily).

They don't actually even have a strong enough relationship for her to move in when asked, so I cheated her in. Since she had a well paying level 10 job before I made her quit, I also decided to cheat the move in money she would bring with her, but I kept it relatively modest at I think about $6000.



One of Agnes' first wants is to make a bit of money. We'll have to figure out how she can do that...



The illness hits really quickly!



Off to bed - Theo's life has changed extremely quickly, totally unexpected for me! In a matter of hours on the last evening of his round, he's got a kid on the way and a new live in girlfriend. Life comes at you fast!



Let's properly meet Agnes, and see her new playable makeover!

Agnes Wilkins - Family B/Fortune B (Huge Family/Shady) - Sagittarius 2/3/9/7/4 (sloppy, active, playful)
Hobby: Cuisine (sub-hobby wine & cocktails)
Traits: natural cook, clumsy, nurturing, greedy, good sense of humour
Turn Ons: Bad Reputation, Creative; Turn Off: Lycanthropy

I've got some fun ideas brewing for Miss Agnes once I saw all her stats, can't wait to get into things next round, and meet their baby! Ready or not, Theo's gonna be a dad!

Well, well, look who's joining the surprise baby club 😂
Also, that was a rocky start of a date with Clementine! Maybe it's a sign, even though they have a lot of bolts.

[kayleigh83]

Yes lol I really didn't think they would go anywhere serious, cool as that would be. They both have romance A in their "charts" (it's his secondary but her primary) and the only reason he's trying to settle down now is out of a sense of responsibility for becoming a dad - his moms would kill him if he didn't do the right thing lol.

I also have some plans in mind for Clementine and her future :) :) :)

[purpleplumbob]

Oh my goodness! Theo’s rounds are always so interesting! From dying last round to becoming a surprise dad in this one, his life is always a rollercoaster!
Just a quick question about how you go about townies becoming pregnant from risky woohoo. Do you add them to the household before they woohoo or do you roll a dice/percentage and decide that way?

[kayleigh83]

It is always something with Theo, and it's completely random drama I could never have predicted!
I do a dice roll, same percentage as my risky woohoo which is 15%. She rolled an 8 I think it was, so just like that their lives change!

[purpleplumbob]

That’s good to know; I also do the same thing, although my risky woohoo is slightly lower at 10%. I’m trying to keep my population under as much control as I can for now!
Looking forward to seeing what becomes of Theo and the rest of Brightmaple soon!
