We ended off the round with Cleo doing what she does best <3

[cloverhog]

Cleo didn't know how to help Andrew, she wasn't really the best with words.. or emotions. So if she couldn't help him, she would at least make sure he was happy. Even if it was just for a little while.

Andrew: 'You cheat!'

Cleo: 'Cheat?! Oh you wanna see a cheater, Mr. Martin?-'

Cleo: '-how's this for cheating?!'

Andrew: 'Pfft, you think that'll stop me?'

Cleo: 'Hey! That is so not fair!'

Andrew: 'You're no match for me, Cleo. Just admit it!'

Cleo: 'Uh-'

Andrew: 'Um.. I should-'

Andrew: '-I should probably go.'

Cleo: 'Yeah.. cool.'

Riverblossom Hills - Intro Round Roth: Morty, Stella, Sandra, Xander

Perfect house wife by day, extramarital dabbler by night. The thing that Stella cares most about is her image, so marrying Morty was a no-brainer. Rich, sophisticated, hot - he has it all. It's just a shame that he's really boring, to her at least. So she'll play loving partner and mother during the day....

...but at night, that's when Peter spices things up a bit.

Just to go back home, climb into bed with Morty and do it all over again.

The thing is Morty isn't actually boring, he just enjoys the slow life. Reading books and good views - that's why he moved them to Riverblossom Hills!

He even got close with Mortimer Goth! Who almost felt like an alternate version of him? Eh, probably just a coincidence.

And I mean, really close.

His daughter Sandra was, well, a brat. And acted like it too. Morty tried to teach her to be kind and grateful but, growing up in the city with money made her arrogant. She deserved everything good in life! And right now that was Jacob Martin.

Nightmare blunt rotation ->

Whereas Xander couldn't be more opposite, he was shy and caring. He loves all forms of life, and was happy to just be happy! He even rolled a fear of the fish dying that I've never seen before :')))

Riverblossom Hills - Intro Round Wan; Patricia, Cleo Shikibu

Sometimes people wonder how Patricia and Cleo even ended up as friends. They're so wildly different, Patricia is a bit of a prude and Cleo is definitely a free spirit but despite that their friendship seems to work!

Their days mostly look like this.

Moment of appreciation for Ms. Shikibu :> One of my absolute favourites after a good makeover lol.

Patricia and Gabe's relationship is still going strong, despite the best effort of that horrible daughter of his. Patricia hates kids, but Gabe's good to her so she can tolerate Jules - for now.

She's always talking shit about her and Gabe doesn't tend to say much back. Gross, Gabe.

(I've been putting off giving sims traits until they 'earn them' through gameplay but I immediately gave Patricia dislikes children & snob, obviously.)

This sums up the girls pretty well I think.

Patricia: 'Cleo, just because you're hiding in a plant doesn't mean we can't see you.'

Cleo: 'Sorry. You can't crack open the bar without me though.'

The next day, Patricia invited Andrew Martin over to build some connections for work. He and Cleo hit it off immediately (yay!!!) but it's clear he's still in mourning and Cleo's not looking for a fixer-upper so they'll just be friends for now.

Andrew: '3-0, things aren't looking good for you Cleo.'

Cleo: 'No fair man, you literally do this for a living.'

Back at the party things were kind of, awkward. Unbelievably, Betty had gotten quite close to Loki Beaker and found out he had a cute (and single) sister!

She invited her to the party hoping there would be instant sparks between Erin and Andrew but, despite their surprisingly high chemistry, Andrew was clearly not interested.

Erin: 'You can scoot up, you know!'

Andrew: 'No, thank you.'

Which continued over an equally awkward dinner.

Things with the kids weren't much better either. Jacob had recently started hanging out with Ripp Grunt and Sandra clearly did not approve of her boyfriend spending time with someone who wasn't her.

Ripp: 'Hey! Sandra, right? Jacob's told me-'

Sandra: 'Ew! I have a boyfriend, creep.'

Ripp: 'Creep? Aw, man. :('

Whilst Ripp was getting torn to shreds, Jacob managed to sneak away from Sandra for a brief moment.

Jacob: 'Jules, I'm sorry about her. You know what she's like.'

Jules: 'Yeah, I know. You need to get out of that relationship, Jake. It's not healthy.'

Jacob: 'Heh, she's not bad once you get to know her! I think.'

Jules: 'Right. Well, if you say so.'

Cleo: 'So... how are you?'

Andrew: 'I think I can finally admit that I'm not doing great-'

Andrew: '-things have been tough since my wife.. well. You know.'

Cleo: 'You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.'

Andrew: 'She'd be so disappointed in me.'

Cleo: 'That's not true, everyone handles grief differently. You've just got to go through it at your own pace.'

Andrew: 'I can't, I've got a son. I can see what I'm doing is affecting him but.. I just can't stop-'

Andrew: '-I've been a terrible dad, Cleo.'

Cleo: 'Come here-'

Cleo: '-don't talk like that. Listen, how about you stick around for a while? We could play some videogames or something.'

Andrew: 'Yeah.. I'd like that.'
