⸺ The Taylor’s ⚜️
A lot has happened since the Christmas party… Both Nora and Naoki have reached new heights in their careers, and when they have free time, they decide to spend it together. With the arrival of spring, they have a holiday together: Love Day.
Naoki decided to wake up Nora and his roommate Nancy with a new breakfast recipe he was testing for the restaurant he works at. They both loved it and Nancy told them about a new guy in town she was meeting, but Nora had to leave to take care of an architecture assignment. As soon as she got back, she decided to take an afternoon nap with Naoki.
After their nap, Nancy suggested they go to the Festival at the park, after all it was Love Day! The two decided to follow her suggestion and went for a walk, since it was still early.
As soon as they arrived, Nora ran to the Love Tester Machine and begged Naoki to test her with it. Oh! The machine started flashing and went crazy, giving back the money they had spent and claiming that their love was so strong and beautiful that the machine felt bad for taking the money. The two burst out laughing and kissed, then went on to enjoy the other things at the Festival.
To end this lovely date, after sharing an ice cream, the two decided to go to the pool club, which was behind the park. They changed their clothes and had fun, deciding to go to the children's sandbox to build a sand castle. After Naoki knocked down Nora's castle many times, she ended up making a little star and he made the two of them.
the way she looks at him.. ♡ and then he scares her by screaming about a shooting star

💖 Current obsession: Idk if it's really an obsession, but I've been craving a cold Tapioca Cake for weeks now. It's summer in Brazil, and since I live in Rio, the weather here is rising rto 40°C, so all I can think these days is about eating this deliciou, cold cake...

happy 2025 to everyone reading this✨✨
posting this cute pic of naoki's cat sleeping on the coffee table to warm someone's heart! tomorrow I'll be back at university - crying a lot - and I probably won't post anything until the end of the month, when my semester will finally end… well, at least the 24th isn't that far away!
Winter has arrived in Simeapolis and with it, the snow arrived too. Nora took the opportunity to finish her last work of the week since she would have to take a winter break from her job.
Nysha decided to renovate a space in the house to set up her laundry room and trusted Nora to do it, who gifted her with a painting she had painted herself — and Nysha loved it.
With the paycheck that she received, Nora was finally able to pay her bills. Despite the many works she was doing by the city, the payment wasn’t enough to keep her apartment, which meant that some of her bills were being paid late… But by a winter miracle, she was able to pay her bills early and still have some left over to plan a holiday party!
The next morning, while Nora was texting her friends inviting them to her holiday party, she received an email from the City Council granting her the title of "Décor Debutant" and a payment raise! She was so happy about this! She definitely needed a raise and more recognition for her profession.
Soon after, she received a call from Naoki, saying that he was in the lobby waiting to take her to the Park to see the winter attractions. She smiled at the sound of his voice and promptly got ready to meet him downstairs.
Naoki's old car was covered in snow and it made Nora laugh a little, but inside, the heater worked like a charm. The whole city covered in that white fluff made Nora's eyes shine. When they arrived at the Park, the two started a snowball fight, which Naoki ended up winning and as a prize, he took Nora to participate with him in the pie eating contest, but they both lost!
Nancy, who was nearby, was the winner of the contest. Nora, excited, ended up approaching her friend and told her about the romance that was blooming between her and Naoki, asking her for advice on what to do. Nancy was surprised by the news, since Naoki had broken up with his ex-girlfriend a few days ago, but told Nora to follow her heart: if it's Naoki that her heart wants, then go for him. Well, Nora did follow her advice — and her own heart — and kissed Naoki in front of everyone.
In the evening, Nora began preparing the decorations for her party. Unfortunately, her Christmas tree stayed at her parents' house, so she didn't have the time (or money) to buy a new one. Instead, she decided to hang up her garland and a mistletoe. Her guests arrived with big smiles and delicious food and Nora was very happy to see everyone there.
When Naoki stood under the mistletoe, Nancy pointed it out to Nora, who took the opportunity to play with him. Nora approached him and started talking normally, until she pointed up and showed the mistletoe to Naoki, who was surprised and then smiled.
"Aren't you going to follow the tradition?", she asked him. "What tradition? I don't know any," he joked as he pulled her in for a tender kiss. "That's the one I was talking about!" "Oh, this one?" he kissed her again. "But I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Everyone, please gather around here!" Naoki shouted until everyone paid attention to him.. "Before we open our presents, I want to introduce to you all a person I have been taking great care of lately. This is Nora, my girlfriend." "Hey!" Nora started blushing when she heard what Naoki just said. "But you didn't ask me to go steady! I didn't even get a chance to say no!" "Are you saying you would have declined me?" he made a puppy face that melted Nora's heart. "No!" I'd never decline you, she thought. "I like you! A lot!" "Then do you want to go steady with me?" "Yes, I do", she jumped on him and kissed his cheeks while everyone started cheering.
Well, it truly was a good holiday party...
happy holidays everyone! or boas festas a todos! wishing that everyone is well and healthy at this time of the year 💗🎄
Snowflake Day Tree + Activities
I actually started to make this two years ago and forgot about it but then I got the idea to do it again and remembered that I had already written most of the code. It was sort of like finding money in your pocket you'd forgotten about. 😂
Much like in real life, I prefer to spend my holidays in-game with family instead of randoms and I just want to open presents without having to throw a Gift Giving party. So I made a Christmas Snowflake Day tree to do that where you can decorate and add gifts to open on Snowflake Day.
I also added some holiday activities for kids and toddlers if you have the More Activities Activity Table. It's an add-on so you need that mod (and whatever requirements go with it) if you don't already.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
More info after the cut
23 Dec 24 Updates:
Huge thanks to Christmas Queen @zemyna for creating a TS3'ified version of the tree. It looks sooo much better. It's a separate mesh so you can download it here and I've added it to the existing collection file which you can also redownload.
I also realized that the original tree file didn't have compressed textures so I fixed that, new file is now much smaller.
Brazilian Portuguese translation now included thanks to @m00nlynn. Thank you!
Sims can read holiday cards in their inventory. Redownload Addon
Toddlers can ask others (Teens+) to help them hang an ornament on the tree. Redownload MAIN
Some small string updates.
Thanks for all the kind words and comments, sorry I haven't been able to respond to each and every one but know they're seen and appreciated! 🤗 Wishing everyone a happy holiday and a great 2025! 🎄🎇
⸺ Nora's apartment
After kissing Naoki last night, Nora needed to think for a while. Since it was Saturday, she decided to wake up late and go to the beach to watch the sunset, taking advantage of the end of spring. Since she was near the new bar in town, she decided to party a little to clear her mind with games and good live music.
On her way home, she decided to check her mailbox and found a letter from Naoki, as if men still wrote letters! As she was reading it, BOOM!!!! a guy just slammed the door and caught her attention. It was Anthony, the new downstairs neighbor. They talked about the broken washing machine and Nora kind of noticed that he was struggling to keep the conversation going. He also noticed that Nora wasn't really in the mood to talk, so he waved goodbye and invited her to a coffee shop next time they saw each other.
After Anthony entered his aparment, Nora picked up her cell phone and called Naoki, telling him that she had read his letter and wanted to see if everything he had written was true. She took the elevator up and changed her clothes when Naoki, in his work uniform, dialed her apartment number, ran up the emergency stairs, grabbed Nora and kissed her. This time, she was sure of what they were going to do. She asked him if he wanted to join her in the shower and… well, he wasn't going to say no.
After that, the atmosphere got a little awkward again, just like in the hot tub. The two were watching TV, but without any conversation. Nora asked if he wanted pizza, which he immediatly answered, and then she went to the kitchen to order. When she sat next to him, Naoki finally took control and decided to talk about what had just happened, saying that he liked it, but most of all, that he liked Nora. She blushed and moved closer to him, giving him the confidence to kiss her again and, when they were finally making out, BII-BII-BII!!! the pizza delivery guy came. Yep…
At least now the mood was fine. They were laughing, eating and kissing, what could be better?
Since Naoki and Nora didn't have to work the next day, they decided to spend the morning at home, testing recipes and watching TV. Saying goodbye to him in the afternoon was the hardest part for Nora, but she had to do it.
okay i had to post this pic separately because seriously i took this without any shader, just a regular gameplay and then my sim started serving 🤤 im jealous
After moving to Simeapolis on the recommendation of her best friend Nancy, Nora arrived by taxi to her new apartment and got a job as an architect. After a few drafts, her first job that afternoon was to remodel the living room of Nysha, a college student. She bought all the materials she needed and did the best she could within her budget. Nysha freaked her out by making those weird facial expressions, but she liked the end result!
So, Nora decided to throw a party to celebrate her first day at work! She invited Nysha and her friend Emma, and also introduced them to Nancy and Naoki. She made them some veggie hot dogs — which they loved! The girls spent the evening gossiping and playing table tennis, and towards the end of the party, when everyone started to leave, Naoki decided to get in the hot tub with Nora… The conversation was a bit weird, but for some reason, maybe because of the late hour or the heat of the water, something between the two of them changed. However, when Nora started to joke around with him, he decided to suddenly get up and leave the apartment. Weird. Nora had never been Naoki's best friend, but they had a mutual friendship because of Nancy and never in all those years Naoki acted like this.
Nora couldn't sleep after that and got out of bed. She rubbed her eyes and looked in the mirror, almost seeing her thoughts externalizing her mind and becoming real… She decided to change her clothes and run to Naoki's apartment. Nancy, her roommate, opened the door and said that he wasn't there yet, but Nora could wait in the living room. She ended up falling asleep on the couch, after all, it was almost 5a.m. Naoki, in his pajamas, woke her up and asked what she was doing there. All Nora could do was kiss him, as a way of confronting everything that was on her mind.
YAYY~ this is my first time doing a "written gameplay" (? idk what to call it), so i hope i'm doing it well haha and ofc i'm using this to practice my english skills since i've barely used it this year outside social media :(
