Growing Sims

After Steve and Tash moved out the guys were left in the house with no girlfriends and Sinead was left alone in the house next door.  I thought she might be a good match for Rob but he didn’t seem that interested.  There was a little interest from Mike but he was difficult to woo as Sinead found out after inviting him over twice.  I needed an extra woman to lure at least one of the guys, so I created Cara who moved in with Sinead.

My plan was that Mike would have a blonde girlfriend, and Rob was to go with Sinead, but these Sims really do have minds of their own.  Their preferences didn’t indicate any obstacle to attraction (no red-hair turn-off for example and a preference for makeup which both had).

Well, Mike seemed immediately attracted to Cara so I let them go with it and persevered with Mike and Sinead.  In no time at all Cara had moved in with the guys and “woohooed” with Rob.

Sinead invited Mike over again but he refused to move in and didn’t even like smooching although he seemed to respond to charms and admiration and romantic hugs.  Grouchy bugger.  I didn’t think I’d made him grouchy but he obviously is.  He stormed off after a while.  Ho hum.

Meanwhile over at Steve and Tash’s…  They had a housewarming party and the guys jammed together in the basement.  A day or so later Steve and Tash decided to get married and invited people over for their wedding.  There were lots of people standing around in the tiny backyard toasting each other but doing little else.  I don’t think anyone actually ate any food – what a waste.  During the wedding I noticed that a blonde townie had the hots for Mike and wondered if I should try and get them together but found out later he doesn’t even know her enough to call her up.

I tried one more time, getting Mike to invite Sinead over and she stayed the night. The next day he asked her to move in and she agreed.  So the household was now a foursome, leaving the house next door empty.   Interestingly, Rob now found Sinead attractive enough to flirt with.  Fickle buggers!

The very latest news on the Kent front:  Tash is pregnant.
