On this particular Tuesday night, Dae, wearing his favorite boxers was pacing back and forth in his apartment, lines from his new script scattered across the floor. The living room lamp cast a warm glow on his furrowed brow as he practiced his lines. His character, Arnie Lee, had a particularly intense scene coming up, and he was determined to get it right.

Meanwhile, Kordell was just getting back from a late-night shoot for his new segment on Sherman Bartholomew, creator and writer of the hot show Metropolis. Accusations are being made of plagiarism.

He started to unlock the door to his apartment and let out a sigh, his shoes echoing in the quiet hallway. He noticed the light from under Dae's door and wondered if his neighbor was also burning the midnight oil.

Kordell had seen him several times since he moved in back a few months ago. An attractive young guy, probably a little younger than himself, Kordell was curious about this neighbor, but being a little introverted, especially in regard to meeting new people, Kordell, turned, unlocked his apartment door, glancing one last time at the light under his neighbor's door in Apartment 2B.

Dae's black hair looked like it had seen better days. He was a little nervous about tomorrow's scene but excited at the same time. It was a big opportunity for him.

He had been practicing for hours and still felt like he wasn't ready. He decided to take a break and get some fresh air outside and have hit or two while he was there, so, he pulled on a T-shirt, then as he stepped into the hall...

he saw Kordell, the guy from 2A, going into his place and he heard him locking his door.

Will Baker and his sister Sallie, have been together since birth. (Will being older by 14 minutes and 27 seconds) Growing up, wherever you saw one of them, the other was never far behind. They may have been twins, but their personalities were never alike. However, that never broke their bond.

Now they have graduated from Foxbury, each with degrees; moved to a new city (San Sequoia) and trying to make it in the real Sims world. It's a new start for them both and this time heading down different paths. Will they really be able to go their own ways?

Let's find out!

Nicholas and Andrew cuddle on the couch after work, finding comfort and warmth in each other's embrace. They breathe in sync, their hearts beating as one, lost in the intimacy of the moment.

OFF TO FOXBURY

Unfortunately, after Frederick's services, Kel had to get on the train to start his 2nd semester at Foxbury. Time must go on.

Saying goodbye to his dads was difficult, but his hardest goodbye was to his Grams.

RAQUEL - Now I have packed you a few goodies to eat on the train, and enough to have for a week or so. You take good care of yourself, Kelvin."

KEL - Grams, you are the best, and I will do the best I can. But, you have the difficult job... taking care of my dads!"

He finally arrived at his on-campus apartment he would be sharing with other students. He was excited to meet all the guys!

[gingerbeardmansim]

RAYMOND - "What are we going to do mom"?

KEISHA - "We'll get through it, babe, your dad had plenty of life insurance. No worries, you will have your college tuition paid for, dear and this house will be paid off as well".

RAYMOND- "That not what I meant, but that is good to know, I suppose."

Who thinks that was what Keisha was waiting for? (she does have the materialistic trait)

[gingerbeardmansim]

Frederick, or Fred Pence, is the son of Raquel Pence, and the father of Chad, Daryl & Raymond Pence. Chad and Daryl were with his first wife, and Raymond is with his current wife, Keisha Pence.

Fred is a retired patrolman with San Sequoia Police Department as s his wife Keisha who is a dispatch officer, which is where they met one another. There was a 20-year age difference between them, and their son Raymond was born when Fred was in his early fifties.

Raymond Frederick Pence is a recent HS Grad from San Sequoia High School and will be attending his first year at the Community College in San Sequoia in the next semester, where he will be studying Political Science.

Their home life is full of love and respect. Keisha has been a life saver for Fred, as he was a heavy drinker when they met, and had a hard time keeping a job. Now he is 17 years sober and retired from the Police Department after 20 years.

FRED: "Kee, babe, can you come in here for a minute, I am really not feeling well. I think something is wrong."

[gingerbeardmansim]

"Mind if I take a seat?" He said as he sat down, not waiting for my response.

"Sure..." as I watched him as he sat down next to me, smelling of musk. It was enticing to say the least. This guy was going to be my roommate.?

"You want to have lunch?" he asked, his voice soft and low. I hesitated for a moment, feeling both drawn to him and nervous. Not sure why. I didn't even know this guy, but I needed to find out all about him, as we would be living together for the next school year.

"Sure," I managed to croak out. "That'd be great."

He started to stand up and as he did, he pulled the fabric from his sweats and readjusted himself. It looked as though it had gone back to normal size, which was still impressive.

 "I need to shower; do you know where they are?" he asked.

"I think they are just down the hall to the right. Hold on and I will follow. I need to shower too."

He looked at me strangely. "I'm not comfortable about showering together."

I laughed. "Oh, no there are three shower stalls in there from what my brother said. He was in this hall a couple years back."

"I figured. I just wanted to see your reaction." He laughed, as he stood up went over to his bed and grabbed what looked like a small Dopp bag and a bath towel. "I am all ready here roomie." He said and turned and walked out the dorm room into the hallway.

First a little background information:

Braden Alberto Moretti is the youngest of two sons, born to Emilio and his ex-wife, Frankie (Francesca). Brenden’s older brother, Vincent is a couple years older and supposed to be enrolled at Britechester, but more on that as the story progresses.

Braden is 16, almost 17 and has somewhat of an arrogance about him. Due to his family being wealthy, he really does not know any other way of life. This somewhat pampered lifestyle he has known all his life, combined with his self-assuredness sometimes comes across as arrogance. However, his outgoing demeanor helps that somewhat.

Braden is the type of person that would do anything for his friends. He is fiercely loyal and has no problem standing up for those he cares about. The problem is that he has very few friends. Not for a lack of trying, as he craves having friends, especially a best friend. Somone to trust and confide in. It also does not help that some people are intimidated by him... and his family.

The Moretti family has been very well known in Tartosa for generations. They have a long history of success and wealth. But that history and wealth comes with a price. Everyone in the family is expected to live up to certain standards. For Brenden, that means being the best at everything he does. It's a lot of pressure for anyone, let alone a teenager.

Braden's father, Emilio, is a cutthroat businessman who expects nothing less than perfection from his sons. He has high hopes for Vincent, but with Braden, it's always been a bit more complicated. Emilio loves his son deeply, but he can't help but see the flaws that hold him back. He pushes Braden harder than he does Vincent, hoping that it will toughen him up and make him more resilient.

The pressure from his father, combined with the expectations of the rest of the family and the townspeople, is almost too much for Braden to bear. He tries to be the best he can be, but sometimes he feels like he's drowning. He longs for a friend, someone who understands him and accepts him for who he is, flaws and all.

Braden is also a die-hard romantic by nature. However, his parents divorce has made his father very suspect, almost somewhat paranoid regarding people outside the family and has instilled into his sons, to not trust anyone and do not let “love” blind them.

Despite his father's warnings, Braden can't help but feel drawn romantically to one of his few friends, Philip Dresden. Both he and Philip are both out, but their connection is much more than that. He is attractive, kind, and always seems to understand him. They share a love for music and art, and their conversations flow effortlessly. But he is afraid to go beyond that friend line, afraid that his father might be right, and by giving himself to someone romantically will only bring him pain and heartache.

We both finished showering about the same time, and I reached out grabbed my towel from inside of the stall and dried off, then wrapped it around my naked waist. He was walking out of the shower room as I walked behind him and headed back to our dorm room.

When we got back to the dorm I quickly got dressed. I put on a sleeveless T-shirt and some shorts and a pair of sandals. Of course, no underwear, as it was so hot, I knew it would be extremely uncomfortable but wasn't sure if I should now that I had a roommate. but why should I change who I am for someone I just met, as I never wore them anyway. As he was dressing, I noticed that he too was commando as well. That's one thing in common...

"So, what do you like?" He said as he fastened his shorts that he was wearing. I thought to myself, I really like how you look, but instead I said. "Burgers, or we could try out that Indian restaurant down on the corner."

His eyes lit up. "Oh wow, that sounds great. I love Indian food."  We then headed outside and toward the corner.

It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was a cloudless blue. We walked down the sidewalk, him leading the way. He had an athletic build, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His ass was just perfect, round and firm. His long, muscular legs seemed to eat up the pavement beneath him. I found myself unable to take my eyes off him as we walked.

"Here we are!." I said as I opened the door to the restaurant for him.

We sat ourselves as the sign indicated and right away he began talking.

"Now that I've showered with you, got naked in front of you, I guess we should introduce ourselves." He laughed, and I did the same.

"Sure, I'm Braden, Braden Moretti."

"I'm Michael Rutledge, but everyone calls me Mick, as my dad is Mike too so that distinguished us from one another."

"Nice to meet you Mick."

As I was playing around in my game the other day in my newest save, that I call the Potpourri Save; as It has Sims created from my favorite creators and some of my own Sim creations, I realized that I have not played one Sim from beginning to end. Well, not without cheats anyway.

So, I took all my male sims in this save, that were teen or younger (I prefer male sims over female.) numbered them, then used a number generator to pick ONE sim and play with JUST them until their demise.

This doesn't mean I will only play him, but everyone else (family, friends, co-workers, peers) will all be set autonomously.

So with out further ado;

MEET BRADEN MORETTI

His background, traits, aspirations, etc. will be forthcoming. I will be posting, (not on a schedule), but at least once a week, or as time allows.

Thanks to all my mutuals for hanging in here with me!

One of the more quiet and serene areas of Sims County is Brindleton Bay. There are two names in Brindleton Bay. One is Saunders, who we will meet later. The second name is Wallce. These two families have been vital to Brindleton for decades. Most recent was Marshall Wallace, II one of the most the well-known, rich and respected Veterinarians in all of Sims County. He died several years ago, and left his only child their family home

Marshall Wallace III; a 33-year-old General Practitioner, his reddish blonde hair is perpetually disheveled, as if a gentle breeze has just danced through it, framing his freckled cheeks and the ever-present five-day scruff that seems to suit him perfectly. His green eyes, often lost in thought, are sharp and observant, hinting at an intellect that's both curious and a tad weary. He stands tall, though not overbearingly so, with a lean physique that suggests a man who values his health but not at the expense of his favorite comfort foods. His attire is a blend of the latest trends and the comfort of the familiar, favoring tailored suits that whisper of his affluent upbringing.

Born into a family of old money and raised in Brindleton Bay, Marshall's path was laid out for him from an early age: private schools, Ivy League education, and a career as a general practitioner. Despite the expectations, he embraced medicine with a genuine passion, driven by the desire to help others. However, the sudden loss of his parents left him grappling with a sense of isolation and the burden of their legacy. The grandeur of his childhood home where he resides, now feels like a prison, a stark reminder of the family ties that once bound him.

Introverted yet charismatic, Marshall exudes a warmth that draws people in, only to find themselves on the outside looking in again as he retreats into his own thoughts. His anxiety manifests as a constant need for order and control in his personal life, which can make him seem a tad neurotic. In relationships, he's as clingy as he is caring, seeking stability in a world that often feels precarious. Despite his guarded nature, he has a sharp wit and an endearing quirk of speaking to his houseplants as if they're his confidants, sharing secrets and fears that he dares not voice to anyone else.

Recently single after a long-term relationship, Marshall has sworn off dating and focusing on his practice. Chances are that sworn self-promise will not last long.

TORY- "Rosa, that was not very nice. Sometimes you can be really arrogant."

ROSA- I'm not arrogant, Tory. I am just honest. The guy is weird. Why would he look you up and start talking to you. Everyone knows we are a couple. He even questioned Rafe at school yesterday and got Rafe to invite him into the Chess Club!"

TORY - "Sorry, I should not have said that. You made some good points. He very well may be a stalker. Forgive me, I shouldn't be so quick to react."

ROSA - "No need to be sorry. I know you have my best interest in mind. "

TORY - "I do, Rosa. I want you to be safe. I need to head to football practice, just stay away from that guy, Okay?"

LYRIC - "You turned that situation around and had him eating out of your hand."

ROSA - "Don't I always??"

this will be the last post of the Castro's for this year. Look for more coming in January.

Ace & Beck will also return in January with their move to Tomarang, as well as their renters in the new property they just acquired.

Until then, posts will be a little sporadic. With the holidays, and then a change in jobs, I am going to be quite busy.

The inside of the restaurant was cool, with an aroma of spices filling the air, making my mouth water instantly. We were seated at a small table in the corner and a server quickly came over to take our orders.

Mick ordered Chicken Tika Masala, at 7 hotness. I ordered the same, but at only 2 hotness.

"Can't handle the spicy, Braden?"

I laughed. "No, not really. My friends used to say that I had a wimp for a palate, but I've learned to accept it."

Our server returned with our drinks. The cool, refreshing lemonade helped to cool me down from the heat outside. The conversation flowed easily between us, as we talked about our families, our High School experience, and our interests. I learned that Mick had three siblings, he was the youngest of three boys and one girl.

Majoring in business, and he was from a small town in the Midwest. He had moved to the city to attend school here and was loving the experience so far. I shared my experience, that I too lived in the Midwest, near Newcrest and was majoring in communications, and was wanting to go into Law School. The conversation just came naturally.

Say hello to one of my newest creations;

KADE BRANNON and his sidekick, Charlie.

Kade being a personal trainer for the stars, prefers the quiet coastal town of Brindleton Bay over where he works on a daily basis in Del Sol Valley. He also shares his free time with his little buddy Charlie, a rescue he found when he moved to Brindleton Bay.

BECK- "Ace, we really need to talk."

ACE - "What have I done now?"

BECK - "You haven't done anything, except get sexier. It's our houseguests."

ACE - You are really stressed about this, let me massage while you talk."

BECK - "I am happy we moved here, and bought the house, but my mother..."

ACE - "Yes, your mother. She is certainly something. I am glad your brother didn't take after her. And he has a job."

BECK - "Well, we still need to try and motivate him to get his own place."

ACE - "And take my nephew with him."

BECK - "I'm glad we agree on this."
