As promised, I'll be kicking off the new year with a Bachelorette Challenge series while I wrap up the remaining odds and ends of my Strangerville story!
You might recognize Quinta from Mini's Match, a Bachelorette Challenge by @wrixie. Although things didn't work out with Mini, Quinta's not ready to give up on finding someone to spend the rest of her life with!
I'm looking for at least 7 contestants, but knowing me I might end up loving more sims than that, and if that happens I'll take up to 12 contestants! Please tag me, @alltimefail-sims, in your submissions and use the hashtag #QuintasBC so I'm guaranteed to see your sim (I will reblog your submission). You can submit two sims max!
The deadline for submissions is DECEMBER 30TH.
Submission guidelines & info on Quinta are below the cut! ↓
Meet Our Bachelorette:
Quinta Saeed-Parisi | Age: 27 years | Pronouns: She/her
-> Also goes by: Quin, Q, and Queenie (by close friends and family)
-> Currently she's an attorney but dreams of being a "style influencer" and writing for a reputable fashion magazine.
-> Her 5 main traits are: loyal, ambitious, moody, romantic, and creative. She has the "Big Happy Family" aspiration (she was an only child, so she wants to have a big family of her own).
-> She was born, raised, and currently lives in Tartosa in a two-bedroom condo with her hedgehog named Winston.
-> She’s got a degree from the University of Britechester in language and literature and graduated with honors. She was also the valedictorian of her high school!
-> Likes: the color red, pop, Latin pop, playing piano, cooking, mixology (she loves a good red wine), writing, dancing, research and debate, and writing. She loves food, traveling, shopping, and writing in her free time.
-> Dislikes: Jazz and metal music, handiness, mischief, baking, fitness, fishing, and country fashion. (In other words, let it be known that she’s not super outdoorsy lol).
-> Fun facts: Her favorite artist is Lizzo (she starts her morning routine with "Juice"); she LOVES all things style and fashion (she's got far too many designer bags and shoes than anyone needs); and she comes from a very traditional, strict family (but is not traditional by any means).
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
Quinta is a lesbian, so she is looking for a woman-identifying and/or nonbinary (she/they, they/them) sim to spend the rest of her life with!
Young Adult - Adult sims only (we'll say irl age cap is 45).
Sims should have 5 traits. You don't need to download the mod I use, just let me know what 5 CAS traits you'd like your sim to have. They must have at least one negative trait. They can have as many bonus traits as you want (reward traits, pack-specific traits like chopstick savvy or responsible from parenthood and etc.)
They should have likes & dislikes!
Any fame level is welcome. Any career is welcome.
Any existing occult is welcome. If they are an alien specifically, please indicate if they use their human disguise exclusively, sometimes, or at all.
No existing townies/townie makeovers/children of townies - original characters only, please!
Please dress your sims in 1 everyday outfit and one formal outfit; the other categories can just be left blank! (Please be mindful that I might have to tweak your sims just a little to fit my game style or existing cc, but I promise I won't change them drastically!)
Maxis match hair only, but I'm maxis-mix otherwise! I use these default eyes, but any non-default eye contacts are probably good with me!
I'd really love for you to give me some insight into their life and who they are. Backstories can be as long and detailed or as short and simple as your heart desires! But know that with me there is no such thing as too much info. I want to do your sims justice! ❤ Do they have a child? Were they previously married? What is their family like? Seriously, I want to know as much as you want me to know!
That being said, skills don't matter (they can be anything you want) and the bare minimum I need in terms of a backstory are where they live/where they grew up (if they are different) and what their current job is.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to inbox me.
I'm so excited to see all of your sims... and Quinta is, too!
For @alltimefail-sims Quinta’s future love - Kirima Marniq (30, she/her, Taurus)
- Hot-headed, Handy, Self-Assured, Loves Outdoors, Loyal
- Outdoor Enthusiast
- Looking for someone to love almost as much as she loves her Jeep
A born and raised native Alaskan, Kiki may prefer a colder climate but her fun-loving, charming (albeit a little rough around the edges) personality is sure to warm Quinta’s heart! She is from a long line of mechanics and currently manages the family business Marniq Motors. When she’s not elbows deep in a Ford F-150, Kirima is building community initiatives, hoping to strengthen the queer community in her rural town. It’s a small, loyal, and extremely tight-knit community, and Kiki definitely wouldn’t mind having someone new to share it with.
Here’s my submission for Quinta’s bachelorette challenge by @alltimefail-sims!
Lyric Pruitt is a 26-year-old music tutor who was born and raised in San Myshuno. She is the only child of 2 musicians who devoted lots of time to helping Lyric hone her musical talents. All of that one-on-one attention made her a bit self-absorbed and (at times) she can be grandiose. She dreams of making it big as a blues guitarist and singer. She needs someone who will support her musical pursuits but also keep her grounded. More below!
Lyric is pansexual and loves to pamper whomever she’s in a relationship with. She is loyal to a fault and often finds she is more invested in her relationships than her partners. Lyric’s childish nature makes her a big hit around the kids she tutors, and she hopes to have children of her own someday (and maybe even start a family band).
She likes blues and world music, the color blue, guitar, piano, singing, comedy, and writing. She dislikes electronica, tween pop, the color pink, gardening, and DJ mixing.
CC used:
Hair: Tessa Twists Retexture
Skinblend: Amendoim face mask
Sunglasses: Stylish Glasses
Shirt: Mellow shirt (w Tee)
Pants: Oh Darling pants
My Entry for @alltimefail-sims ‘s Bachelorette Challenge!!
I’ve always wanted to do one of these and Quinta’s really cute. The amount of time I spent thinking about and creating this character is kinda ridiculous lol. You can find her on the gallery at karikahgames, under the name “Bachelorette Challenge”.
Virginia “Ginny” Louise Pierce | Age: 25 years | Pronouns: She/her
Ginny presently works as a freelance writer, but hopes to make a living as an actress. (She recently played the role of Ocean O’Connell-Rosenburg in the Oasis Springs Community Theater Production of Ride the Cyclone.)
She was born in Strangerville, but her and her mother moved to Oasis Springs after her father was killed in an accident at the “Secret” lab. She’s very close with her mother and got her love of Broadway and musicals from her.
She has a Drama degree from the University of Britechester.
Ginny’s been called ‘weird’ more times than she can count. She thinks it’s a compliment and has no clue that people are more often than not making fun of her.
Her five traits are: cheerful, creative, goofball, socially awkward, and clumsy. She’s blindingly optimistic and kind of a ditz.
She’s bisexual.
She has an odd sense of style, which is full of bright colors and funky patterns. She likes to wear mostly skirts.
She’s allergic to peanut butter.
Likes: the colors blue, pink, and yellow, singing, dancing, knitting (loves to make animals that look like clowns), writing, vintage Mid-Century furniture, retro, americana, and alternative music.
Dislikes: the color brown, S-Pop (she thinks its overhyped), and tween pop.
Fun Facts: Ginny and her mother collect Uranium glass and her favorite animals are armadillos and horses.
CC I used:
I intentionally used very little so that she’d be easier to edit.
REMUS SIRION’S MINIGENE EYES DEFAULT and MINIMALSIM FRECKLES #05
I haven't shown Quinta's family off yet, so here's a side-by-side of the Saeed-Parisi family!
Tanit is a stay-at-home mom who makes and sells candles and soaps at the local farmer's market. Gabrielle is a chef and he owns his own catering business!
You can submit a sim to compete for Quinta's heart! If you're interested, you can see more info on that HERE!
(Note that by doing so you might subject them to intense scrutiny by her loving but very strict parents haha! 😉)
