Ok so on my new laptop Sims is actually blazing fast! So I’ve been playing again. It’s been a while since we had a sims story on the blog, so I thought I’d share this one.
I’ve been seeing people on Tiktok do this 1×1 room challenge where you start a sim in just a plain 1×1 square room and they have to take and sell photos of themself to make money to expand it and buy the basics. I thought that sounded fun.
If my sim is going to be taking and selling photos of herself, I made her into a generic influencer girl. Her name is Freddie and that was the name the generator gave her – I’d have given her a better name if I realized how much I was going to enjoy and keep playing this particular game! I also would’ve taken screenshots.
The 1×1 room.
Anyway, Freddie starts off in her 1×1 room and takes and sells a bunch of pics. It’s a rough start at first.
So embarrassing to have to sell photos of yourself in a 1×1 room.
But soon enough she made enough to expand the room and add a toilet, then a mini fridge, etc etc. Eventually she gets good enough at photography and selling her photos that she’s got a fairly decent little studio apartment/house deal going on.
She meets the guy from across the street – it’s one of the basic households that comes with the game, the “BFFs” house that includes a guy named Travis Scott. They fall in love and oops they end up having a baby. They named her B Boy (Chase was sitting next to me on the couch and I asked him what to name her, and that’s the name he gave me LOL)
Travis and Freddie
B Boy’s early life wasn’t great because Freddie didn’t have money for baby necessities. Plus she was too busy making videos on her computer and posting them trying to be a fashion influencer to spend much time with B Boy. But when B Boy was a toddler, Freddie had earned enough from her videos to move them into the cute little house next door and B Boy finally got her own room and bed and toys.
Freddie tried acting for a while but it didn’t go anywhere, so she switched to the social media carrier and did fantastic. She went viral numerous times, with millions of followers and eventually became world famous. It’s all she ever wanted.
Her relationship with Travis never wavered either. The two eventually secretly got married, but to maintain her fame, she never let him move in with her and B Boy. He had a key and came over all the time so he was still a regular in their lives, just not publicly.
They also adopted a cat named Oliver. One of B Boy’s traits was cat lover so of course they had to get a cat. And boy was that cat sick ALL THE TIME. Freddie was so irritated at having to take it to the vet every other day.
Oliver
Anyway, as it turns out, B Boy was a genius. She excelled in many skills as a toddler and then as a child, all on her own while Freddie was doing her influencer thing.
B Boy did great in school and eventually went on to college, where she graduated with all A+s. She went into the astronaut career, and quickly went up the ranks thanks to all of her skills she honed as a teenager.
Freddie meanwhile grew bored of the social media career and making videos, so she decided to try acting again. Right after she switched careers, she got an intriguing call from a person offering her a job as a secret agent. She accepted, and the very next day she stumbled into some government secrets she couldn’t sit on. So she blew the whistle, and got fired from her secret agent job. Well that didn’t last long. At least she can make some crazy youtube videos about her experience. She went back to the acting gig.
B Boy felt lonely. She’d had a boyfriend in high school, but she was an adult now and he was still a teen so she needed to find new companionship. On Love Day, she decided to send a flirty text – she had an acquaintance named Korey (who had a fabulous beard), and he seemed like the perfect option for a Love Day Date.
Seriously that beard is magnificent!
He responded to the flirty text inviting her to the bar, so off they went. When they arrived, B Boy tried some flirting, and that… didn’t go well. Korey didn’t like it. So she reverted back to some friendly interactions and… half of those Korey didn’t like either. B Boy was still in a very flirty mood so she tried to seduce Korey, and that made him INCREDIBLY mad. Like seriously their relationship bar went into the solid red. Annnnd they fought, right in the middle of the bar. B Boy won, because she’s jacked from working out to be an astronaut LOL But that Love Day did NOT go as planned. Seriously I had meant for them to date and I was going to move him in!
Back at the house, Travis called up Freddie to ask her out on their usual Love Day date. They went to a bar, had a good time, flirted, had some drinks. But then it was time for Freddie to go to work filming a commercial, so she left the bar. Control reverted back to B Boy who was back at home, asleep in bed.
A minute later, B Boy gets a phone call. It’s from a random sim expressing their condolences over the loss of Travis. What?! Sure enough B Boy is now sad over the death of someone close. Freddie gets home from work and she’s sad over the death of a spouse! What the heck happened! We just left him at the bar!
B Boy goes across the street to Travis’ house (the BFF house) and sure enough, it’s only his 2 roommates there now. She goes inside and there’s Travis’ urn right there by the front door. What the heck even happened!! I think I may have to add B Boy to that household temporarily to see if she can take the urn back to their house.
Wow.
Anyway, that happened. Wild. B Boy still had to go to work the next day. Freddie has the self absorbed trait, so while she still had a sad emotion, it wasn’t overwhelming and she was happy doing other stuff. Typical. I decided she needed a new romantic partner, so I opened up her menu of friends to see who she had the best friend relationship with that we could build a new romantic relationship with — and you’ll never guess who it is.
That’s right it was KOREY!!
So she invited over Korey while B Boy was at work and the two of them REALLY hit it off. Just as they were having their first kiss, B Boy gets home. She immediately walked up to Korey and declared him her mortal enemy!
Oh the drama!
I think I’m going to move him in and move them to the city in a nice apartment. They’ve really outgrown this little house. I want Freddie to retire once she hits elder (she already took one youth potion to deage) and I want B Boy to change jobs. I’ll update again at some point. Or I won’t. There’s no telling with sims.
