Iridessa decided she loathed Larry the Lobster. Though the benevolent god had to admit their dance moves were a lot more interesting than Darby's
Tumblr media
Iridessa simply could not stand for it!! She would face down the horrible Foxbury Institute and prove who was the better school! Time to raise the Britechester cheer!
Tumblr media
Not many people responded. Iridessa found herself turning to the kegs, definitely not to drown out the sting of defeat, just for a little extra courage to face off the opposing university.
Tumblr media
The drink didn't have quite the intended effect. Iridessa ended up loosening up more than she thought, and making a phone call she hadn't yet realised she wanted to make.

Iridessa was feeling kind of low after the date and classes, but thankfully the spirit corp was there to help! In their small, honestly kinda miserable little corner....
Tumblr media
Armand was no longer the Darby Mascot, and whoever the new guy was put a lot of soul into the act! Iridessa loved it! She just felt like there was something between them...
Tumblr media
Iridessa did not have the kindest reaction to Pandora's crying. Thought I raised her better than that, oof.
Tumblr media
When Pandora straightened up, Iridessa was disgusted to realise that Pandora attended the abhorrent Foxbury Institute!! Boo!! Iridessa had to fight this madness!
Pandora could not care less.
Tumblr media
Still, getting between Iridessa and her beloved Darby seemed to bring Pandora great joy!

Nova is the kind of fairy you always hear about in human tales, mischievous and cunning with a certain love for pranks and deception. Unfortunately he is also very clumsy so most of his pranks end up backfiring! Thankfully he can laugh it off, as his goofball nature allows him to deal with most situations in a fun and humorous way. Similarly, as a lovebug, he sees love in a not entirely serious light. He's honest and upfront about his feelings but takes rejection well and usually manages to spin it into a funny story to tell his fairy friends when they come visit him in his garden. His garden is his passion as he loves the outdoors, it's a place where spellcasters, werewolves and humans alike can gather plants both to use in potions and tinctures as well as for consumption. He expects no reward in return but anyone coming by has to expect him to suddenly appear in front of them or for him to pull the old "This costs money now" bait and switch. They always find the money back in their pockets once they leave. Nova grew up raised by a group of fairies, according to the "it takes a village" principle they all shared the burden and joys of raising little faelings. His fairy godmothers and godfathers loved each other freely and without boundaries and Nova thus feels the same about love, it's something to be given and shared freely. He is polyamorous and experiences no jealousy but he does only like male-framed sims. He chose to participate in this bachelor challenge because it sounded fun, plus he's not been the luckiest in dating himself (and thus can relate to Andrew in that) and too wishes to have his own connected group and perhaps even little faelings to raise with his mates! @cawthorntales I hope Andrew will like Nova, they look very different but they share common interests (and Nova should be attracted to him). I will send his files to you shortly!

After a while, it started to seem like literally the only thing Paka'a could do was mischief interactions. They were spamming them like nobody's business.
Tumblr media
Iridessa did her best to react appropriately to all the jokes and pranks, but it got old for her so, so fast.
Tumblr media
It was definitely working for Paka'a though! For them it was a good segue into some cheeky flirting.
Tumblr media
But when Paka'a kissed their phone as they exchanged numbers, Iridessa could tell. There was no spark for her here. It was just awkward and uncomfortable.
Tumblr media
Class time was coming up, so Iridessa used that as an out for the date. But before she left, she was upfront with Paka'a that the romance probably wasn't going anywhere, but they could still be friends! Paka'a wasn't thrilled, but they agreed.

Malcolm: You are so beautiful.
Joaquin*blushes*: So are you.

The two contestants who wouldn't stop being romantic with each other and have been sent home. hank you @invisiblequeen and @weisskralle I enjoyed them both, but they were more into each other than Blake. Like here I caught Malcolm complimenting Joaquin's appearance.

Jasper Adair could have had a princess to call his... but she was stolen away by another. Jealousy consumed his heart after that.
Tumblr media
But Jasper put in the work, and now he's trying to open his heart once more. Will he find the true loves he's looking for? Or will @cawthorntales Andrew break his heart all over again?

Despite her hurt feelings about the love day gift, Iridessa still wanted to give the date a go. She only had 2 hours until her next class, no sense letting them go to waste and misery!
Tumblr media
Paka'a wasn't very receptive to the light conversation. It felt a bit like talking to an uncaring window.
Tumblr media
Eventually Iridessa gave up and went for light-hearted joking. She'd never been much of a comedian, despite her grandparents' best efforts, but she could reuse their jokes well enough.
Tumblr media
That finally got Paka'a invested! They loved comedy! Now the date could really get going.
Tumblr media
So our ex-roommate who got locked out wants to get with our other ex-roommate who flashed Iridessa day 1!
I'm not sure what his relationship status is tho, just that he has kids, so I left the outcome up to them. We got our own romance to focus on rn.

Paka'a had offered to meet at a cafe, but Iridessa thought they might prefer to get away from the dreary spring weather that haunted most of the world. So, she got to visit Sulani for the very first time!
As a Sulani resident, Paka'a was much more interested in other views,
Tumblr media
As per love day tradition, Iridessa had acquired a rose just to give to Paka'a. She hoped it would start the date off on a high note.
Tumblr media
Paka'a sure perked up when they learned they were getting a gift from the lovely Iridessa!
Tumblr media
The mood soured so, so quickly when they realised it was a rose. Not really sure why. Maybe allergies are a thing?
Tumblr media
Ok, that is a severe overreaction, my guy!

You may have answered this before, so I apologize if you have, but 20+ gens in - how do you decide goals for your sims & their spouses? I love how the legacy seems like such a great balance of things to achieve while still having fun!
No need to apologize! 💛 I'm always happy to talk about this kind of stuff. Long answer ⬇
Tumblr media
I usually follow a few loose "formulas" when figuring out goals for my Sims.
Things I haven't done yet or haven't done in a while. I like to challenge myself to try something new or revisit something I haven't explored recently.
A defined storyline – I often start with a concept or backstory, and then I pick aspirations, skills, or careers that naturally fit that narrative.
New Expansion/Game Packs – When a new pack is released, I try to build a generation around it to explore its features more deeply.
Skills that support the Sim's aspiration – For example, if a Sim has a social aspiration, I would intentionally build up charisma, comedy, and mischief, not because the aspiration requires it, but because it feels right for their personality.
As for spouses, I usually keep it more relaxed. I try to complete the aspiration their creator gave them, plus Soulmate. Some aspirations are definitely more demanding than others, so I sometimes have to put in a lot of extra work to complete them. My born-in-game Sims have a big advantage in terms of skills and traits because they've been developing them from childhood. But a Sim added into the game is often a blank page. That's why I don't give them many goals.
I'm definitely the kind of person who's motivated by goals and checking things off a list. But that kind of system doesn't work for everyone, and that's totally okay. What does matter is figuring out what actually motivates you. Is it structure? Is it spontaneity? Is it storytelling or completion? Once you know that, it's a lot easier to build gameplay around it.
I've also set goals in the past that I ended up changing or dropping entirely because they just didn't hold my interest or I didn't have the energy. Sorules and goals are great, but they should be flexible. If something doesn't excite you, it's really easy to abandon it. And that's where adjusting your own expectations can actually keep the fun alive. My general advice is to start simple because you can always add more challenges later on.
After 22 generations, keeping track of everything—what I've already done, which aspirations I've used, which skills I haven't maxed, even just remembering all the names—gets hard. So I trained ChatGPT to be my legacy assistant. I feed it the info, and it helps me track who did what, when, and which names I've already used.
I hope this answer gives you a few ideas to work with.

But now it's your turn. Your life, your choices. It's time for you to make your own mistakes and learn from them. Just know this: no matter what, I'm still here. Always will be. When you need me, I'll be right there, maybe not with answers, but always with support. Now it's your turn to carry the story forward, Meadow. Where it goes next, that's up to you.

Spending almost the whole day outdoors was exactly what Lily needed, a perfect distraction to keep her from thinking about Michael.
