Billy Ghote is caught at last - ironically, with someone he's never been to bed/hot tub/photo booth/changing booth/elevator/sauna/hammock/back seat with, and hasn't seen since he got married.



I suspect Luz is going to forgive him, though.



Trent's triple bolt match turns out to be an elder, and at this point, I'm disinclined to be picky.

Ryan and LaShawn

Ah, the fated couple. They ended up making the stablest family I ever played back with basegame-only, and it only took one flirt from Nervous before they scampered off to bed this time around.





Loki was not amused by the shenanigans. He was, however, somewhat titillated...





The Beakers...so in love! Or...well...look below...





Yeah, right. There's Loki, catching flies, while Circe is awakened by a near-miscarriage that was her first inkling that she was pregnant (would have been mine too, if I had the lullaby disabled -- I'm glad I'm too much of a control freak for that).

Sally and Joshua Ruben get their moods up.




Simulating Nemo's social awkwardness by free ranging him except when he needs to do something he can't do autonomously works well most of the time; but when he dates Gracie Hawkins, he fulfills his wants and hers as fast as I would anyway.



"So. What do you think of Gramary?"
"Does it matter? I might as well have an opinion about the moon or the stars."
"Of course it matters."
"Not near as much as it matters what she thinks of me, I expect."
"She'll like you if you let her. Why do you have to make everything so hard?"
"Because you like me better for it. Somebody has to teach you to work, Mr. Rich Boy."



I love free will. Just thought I'd mention that.

My young adult couples:

Piper Nova and Anthony Jones:




Lyric Swain and Malcolm Landgraab V:




This was at Lyric's grad party, Malcolm is excited that Lyric is graduating because it means they can finally have kids and hopefully the first child will be a boy that will carry on the Malcolm name.

Neo Shankel and Leah Dreamer:




Brian Bubbler and Raven Beare:

Gee, I know their parents!



So it was Frank's turn to ask Amanda out. There was less horsing around and more serious talking this time, though Amanda felt she had to ride him about the fact that theoretically he wouldn't have to work after graduation, he could just coast on his family money. "What makes you think I'd want to? Or Pa'd let me? Mark's the one who's going to move back home and give him grandchildren and whatnot. We don't even know if I can do grandchildren. I probably would make a lousy employee, but I could do like Uncle Oliver did - open a store. Or a venue somewhere, pictures of Gramary all over the place. Or do you think that'd be coasting, too?"
"It might be, rich boy."
"So what do you want to do with your life?"
"I'll do what I can, like always. It doesn't make any difference what I want."
"Of course it does."
"No. It doesn't."



"Yes. It does. Even if it doesn't matter to you, it matters to me."
"Are we still talking about work?"



"Look, I'm just being realistic. You'll meet somebody -"
"I won't! Why don't you trust me?"
"It's not a matter of trusting you! It's a matter of the way the world works. The way my life works. I am not The Girl Who Gets What She Wants, okay?"



"Oh, so you admit you want me?"
"Of course I do! But it's just going to hurt so much when...And I like where I live. It's my space, I control it. If I say Yes to you, you'll want to get engaged and then you'll sweep me off into that madhouse you live in like Mark did Marsha, and, and you'll - you'll eat me up."
"What if I don't? What if we go try out the squiggle and I, I join the frat or something and you live where you live and the only thing that changes between us is we woohoo occasionally? And I'm the only one who has to say the L word? Which I'm going to keep saying till you believe it. Could you deal with that?"
He must be doing something right because her back is arching and her breath is coming short and she says: "I could try?"

Daniken Howe and Juniper Smith decided to engage in the time-honored Strangetown tradition of front yard silliness by singing karaoke in their pajamas. Somehow they managed to turn Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs's classic "Little Red Riding Hood" into a duet.





They think they sound awesome.





...But love may be deaf, too.

Sandy Beech has definitely broken up with her baby's father, and offers a make-up massage to her husband, the man who's going to help her raise that baby.



Kestrel Hawkins lives at Alma Mater House and Ashy Pitts-Upsnott lives at the sorority, because if they shared a residence neither of them would ever get any work done.



Pollux Stacks keeps asking Brittany Parker out, thinking that this time, surely, he'll seal the deal and get rid of this pesky virginity; but she keeps losing interest right at the crucial point. Yet he still has a great time with her. Go figure.



Maddy Estic Moiselle meets her husband for lunch. (They randomly walked into the restaurant separately in the background of a date, homed in on each other, and started smooching it up in the kitchen.)

There's absolutely no privacy at the Casa house, where they live with his parents. When Emilio and Lily want to be by themselves, they go down to her beauty store.



There's no piped-in music, but he can hum.



"For crying out loud! You know that old plumbing scalds the shower when you flush the toilet!"
"Sorry! It's such a cold morning I figured you wouldn't mind. And that potty chair was -"
"I know what the potty chair was like, but the commode's clogged."



"You're always doing something like that! You are the most inconsiderate thoughtless -"
"You're so hot when you're angry. What do you think, do I need a spanking?"
" - uh - beautiful hot what was I talking about?"
That's pretty much Heather and Kevin's relationship right there.

Lyric Swain Landgraab and Malcolm Landgraab V get started on making their family right after getting married :





Lyric is now pregnant, hopefully it's a boy to carry on the Malcolm name!

Richie Riches and Contessa Carla Wilsonoff (former grand vampiress of Downtown) cuddle together:

"I sneak out to the garden to see you, we keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew...."




I'm sorry, I can't look at this picture of Romeo and Juliette without thinking of that song!

Grimnir and Madeleine had a fight at her last party, but she came to the warehouse with Diff after school and it looks like they made up.



The two heterosexual romance sims residing in Townie Hall (a home for elders with no family who are sufficiently entangled with the story that they need to keep aging), Sandy Bruty and Ryker Thayer, get to know each other better in the restroom of the store one of the other elders owns. "I'm not going to let you grope me in a nasty restroom!"



"Groping me in the communal dining room? Much better!"



"Good morning, Sunshine!" Joshua and Sally Ruben. Guess who went permaplat from dating his wife overnight?

Adrina (Leong) and Zack Nott









Ok, let's see if I can even keep this story straight. After his (now ex) wife Caryl left him for his nephew Ethan, Myles Leong decided the best form of payback was to romance Ethan's daughter Brielle Phillips (who is both Myles' great niece and second cousin, that's another long story). Brielle takes after her father and is a Romance sim herself, with 11 total lovers so far. So she was game for engaging in a relationship with the much older Myles. Since the time of these pictures, Myles has aged to an elder and the two of them have married. He ended up falling madly in love with her and finds comfort in her companionship, while Brielle finds comfort in the contents of his bank account.

During development of Widespot, Romance elders Angel and Valentine Heart were all over each other 24/7. They looked to be all set to be the kind of romance sims who make one relationship their life's work. With Angel in place, the house was harmonious, well-run, and happy.












This, of course, is why Angel had to die.

Thomas Jones and Zach Ruben lose their woohoo cards (Thomas had just graduated and had the want to woohoo, Zach is still in college):





Dulce Harris and Nicholas Broke dance at the sorority toga party:





Carrie Nova and Ralph Reamon:





Griffin Ruben (he's the brother of Zach Ruben, seen in the first pic) proposes to Erin Starchild:





She accepted! Look for wedding pics in the wedding thread.
