lookbook: zahra simmons

Here at long last she is! Admittedly I initially struggled with her look, but when @riverofjazzsims picked "retro" for her clothing style, everything fell into place. Since this lookbook is cc heavy, I did list where the vanilla items are from just so people wouldn't think I had forgotten them. But normally I don't. Because... EA.

If you want to know how Zahra came together, go here!

I know pride month is almost over, but I got @someone-elsa's pride hearts and pose pack found here, and wanted to use it for the Feldman-Kim family. 😊💖

Nick Feldman is Piper's uncle on her mom Luna's side. He's the son of her great uncle Luke Feldman and late great auntie Chelsea Kinney. Nick met and married Lily Kim in his adult years, and they have two kids, June and Julian Feldman-Kim, both of whom got Nick's red hair. Nick and Lily are both trans, and Nick is pansexual while Lily is bisexual. June, who's a teen sim, is lesbian and demisexual.

Edit: I really like the Feldman-Kim family too, but with so many sims that I rotate between, I don't get to play them as much. Still, they're living a happy life in San Sequoia. 💜

It's Finally Maya's Turn

I know there's only about 3.5 of you who even know who these sims are, but I am soooo excited to introduce them to you! Maya is from my first legacy story, Pruett Family Legacy. She is the first born of generation 10, and the story ended shortly after she was born. I created a spin-off story called Delicious Dishes & Dreams that continued the story but also began as a restaurant challenge I made up. I never finished that story and don't intend to, so as I was putting together this new Pierson save and thinking of who could be part of it, I thought of Maya and Ranveer, and her sister Aubrey and family. Aubrey is a restauranteur, so we'll probably hear more about her when we're with Rodney. But anyway, Maya has an important role to play soon, so I figured we should meet her first. They live in Oasis Springs, so I'm sure they'll be welcomed additions to Melanick's crew.

For those who read Delicious Dishes & Dreams, let me know if you're interested in how it was supposed to end. I may not want to finish, but I definitely want to give you some closure.

Here's the article text for easier reading.

It's Finally Maya's Turn

By Averie Hart, Senior Features Editor

The Pulse is coming back.

Yes, really.

After a quiet disappearance from most people's watch lists, Sim.TV's celebrity interview series is getting a second chance. The original version, hosted by Orange Bailey-Moon, built a loyal following thanks to thoughtful conversations and fan-submitted questions before eventually fading into the ever-growing graveyard of entertainment concepts that sounded good on paper.

What no one expected was who would revive it: Sim.TV's own CEO, Maya Singh.

Yes, that Maya.

The woman with the corner office.

The one who signs the checks.

The boss lady herself.

Naturally, we assumed there was a strategy presentation involved. There was not. Instead, there was Maya.

M: I got tired of watching everyone else have all the fun.

We initially assume she's joking. Forty-five minutes later, we're reasonably certain she wasn't. For someone who runs one of SimNation's largest entertainment companies, Maya spends a surprising amount of time talking about fun. Not growth. Not metrics. Not shareholder confidence. Fun.

M: I think people assume I wanted this career.

AH: You didn't?

M: Not even a little.

That answer catches us off guard. Mostly because Maya Singh is very good at her job. Annoyingly good, if her career history is any indication. What began as a low-level social media position eventually became a tour through what appears to be nearly every department in the company.

Community management.

Writing.

Public relations.

Communications.

Leadership.

Executive leadership.

More executive leadership.

And eventually CEO.

M: I just kept saying yes.

AH: That's a strategy?

M: Apparently.

R: She's leaving out the part where she was good at all of them.

M: Nobody likes a showoff.

R: You're not a showoff.

M: Thank you.

R: You're an overachiever.

Maya narrows her eyes. Ranveer smiles. We've been here less than ten minutes. This is apparently their dynamic. For the record, Ranveer Singh wasn't supposed to be part of this interview. In practice, interviewing Maya while her husband sits nearby appears to be impossible. Not because he interrupts. Because she keeps talking to him. And because, despite being one of the most recognizable executives in entertainment, Maya seems significantly more interested in having a conversation than giving an interview. Which, as it turns out, explains quite a lot.

The higher Maya climbed within Sim.TV, the further she drifted from the thing she loved most.

People.

M: I had this huge office. Everybody thought it was impressive.

R: It was impressive.

M: It was lonely.

That lands with surprising weight. Because for all the talk about promotions and titles, Maya doesn't describe success the way most executives do. She describes it the way someone might describe a beautiful house that never quite felt like home. The irony, of course, is that Maya was probably never meant to be a suit in the first place. By her own admission, her younger self had exactly two ambitions: find a handsome husband and avoid waking up early. Somehow, she ended up running a media company. The disconnect became impossible to ignore during her years overseeing communications, a role that came with Maya's least favorite professional obligation: Press conferences.

The mention alone earns an immediate groan.

M: I hated press conferences.

R: Hated is a strong word.

M: I ha-ted them.

R: What did press conferences ever do to you?

M: They're fake.

No hesitation. No diplomacy. No executive-approved talking points. Just immediate conviction. And suddenly, The Pulse starts making a lot more sense. Because Maya doesn't hate communication. She despises performance. She dislikes conversations where everybody already knows the answers. She loathes carefully rehearsed moments pretending to be spontaneous. In other words, she hates almost everything a press conference is designed to be.

The Pulse, on the other hand?

M: It's just people talking.

She shrugs.

M: That's all I've ever wanted.

At the time, the answer feels almost too simple. Later, it becomes the answer to nearly everything. Most people assumed The Pulse had quietly run its course. Maya disagreed.

M: The Pulse wasn't broken.

AH: Wasn't it?

M: Ouch.

R: That felt personal.

The truth, according to Maya, is that the show's original concept was never the problem. The interviews worked. The guests worked. The audience worked. What stopped working was the spark. The spontaneity. The feeling that viewers were sitting in on a conversation instead of watching a carefully managed appearance.

M: Everybody is so worried about saying the right thing now.

AH: That's a bold statement from a CEO.

M: See? This is what I'm talking about.

R: She's been waiting years to say that.

M: I really have.

The Pulse wasn't broken. It just wasn't pulsing. And no one seems more aware of that than the woman who spent years feeling much the same way. Of course, reviving a podcast wasn't the only thing Maya had in mind.

Under her leadership, Sim.TV is undergoing a broader shift toward creator partnerships, artist development, behind-the-scenes storytelling, and projects designed to connect audiences with the people behind the headlines. In other words, less talking at people. More talking with them.

Or, as Maya puts it:

M: People are interesting.

A beat passes.

M: That's it. That's the strategy.

We suspect the boardroom version is slightly longer. Then again, maybe not.

Years ago, while Maya was climbing the corporate ladder, Ranveer was quietly shelving his dream of becoming an actor. Maya had other ideas. The couple made a deal. He would chase the dream. She would keep things stable. When promotions came, she'd take them. When opportunities appeared, she'd say yes. When leadership was needed, she'd stay. Eventually, she became CEO.

AH: That's a pretty significant sacrifice.

Maya immediately makes a face. Which is unfortunate because it suggests we've accidentally pinched a nerve.

M: I don't think of it that way.

AH: Really?

M: No.

She doesn't hesitate.

M: I made a choice.

AH: What's the difference?

M: A sacrifice sounds like I lost something.

That gets everyone's attention. Including Ranveer's.

M: I didn't. We had a plan. He'd get his shot. I'd keep things moving. Then we'd figure out what came next.

AH: Did you ever think that day wouldn't come?

For the first time all afternoon, Maya pauses.

M: Sometimes.

R: You never told me that.

M: Because it wasn't your problem.

R: Maya—

M: No, seriously.

She waves him off.

M: Watching him become happier wasn't the hard part. The hard part was realizing I wasn't.

For a moment, no one says anything. Not because the room becomes uncomfortable. Because somebody accidentally told the truth.

AH: So what changed?

Maya leans back in her chair.

M: I thought I was tired. Then I thought I needed a vacation. Then I thought maybe I was just bored.

Ranveer starts laughing.

M: Don't laugh.

R: You were bored.

M: I know that now.

AH: So what changed?

M: Watching him.

She points at Ranveer.

M: You're happy for them. You should be happy. And I was. But eventually you start wondering what happened to your thing.

The excitement. The fun. The part of her that once genuinely loved being in the middle of things. Then one day she stopped waiting. Not because she wanted a different life. Because she wanted to participate in her own again.

Today, The Pulse sits at the center of that decision. For years, Maya built platforms for other people. This may be the first time she's stepped onto one herself. And this time, she'll be hosting alongside Ranveer. When asked why he was her first choice as co-host, Maya looks genuinely confused by the question.

M: Have you seen him?

AH: That's not an answer.

M: It is if your eyes are open.

R: Maya...

M: What?

AH: So your official explanation is "look at him."

M: That's my professional opinion, yes.

R: Fortunately, there are other reasons.

M: There are?

R: I hope so.

M: ... He's good with people.

Honestly, it's a little obnoxious in the best possible way. Maya and Ranveer have the kind of chemistry that makes you suspect they've been having the same conversation for fifteen years and simply invited the rest of us to listen.

AH: Why do you think this will work?

Ranveer answers immediately.

R: Because she's happy.

The room goes quiet. Not dramatically. Just long enough for everyone to register that he means it. Maya rolls her eyes. But she's smiling. As our conversation wraps up, she's already pitching guest ideas. Ranveer is pitching different ones. She rejects most of them immediately. They're debating celebrities, finishing each other's thoughts, and making plans before the microphones have even cooled. For a woman who spent years managing other people's stories, Maya seems surprisingly excited to finally tell one of her own.

We eventually stand to leave. Neither of them appears particularly concerned. Maya is halfway through a new idea. Ranveer is halfway through explaining why it won't work. The interview may be over, but their conversation clearly isn't. We arrived expecting to interview a CEO. Instead, we spent an afternoon with a woman who forgot she was supposed to be selling us on a podcast. Which, oddly enough, may be the best endorsement for The Pulse yet. Because if this afternoon taught us anything, it's that Maya Singh doesn't need another title. She needs an audience. And for the first time in a very long time, it feels like she's found exactly the right one.

TAUPE - YET ANOTHER SIDE QUEST (198)

Claiming (2)

The grand Duchess took her morning stroll, had her breakfast, then checked her itinerary.

To her great surprise, she was scheduled for an audience with Count Akachi ??

Strange - she didn’t recall agreeing to that. No matter - best to get it over with; she sure he’s heard about the Marquess’ visit by now. Shirley he’s coming for answers. Or consolation. Or both.

He arrived right on time.

The Grand Duchess has the sharp skill of being able to read faces - usually. However, the Count’s face was a little vague this morning.

Ah. There it is.

This morning, his smile is not reaching his eyes. He has a particular stillness; assessing.

The Grand Duchess is determined to not overthink it; we do not know what he knows, nor do we know what he has come for.

He compliments her beauty, as he does every time he sees her. She offered him a beverage and invite him to sit.

He tells her perhaps he will have some refreshment later; meanwhile, there’s something heavy on his heart.

Something heavy, indeed.
