And here we are for the last part of Day Six, where Spencer is redirected by someone (me) to do yoga instead of spying on people.

(Someone will also be going home tomorrow but we don't talk about that now, no no...)

Vlad did what now? This looks like an unpleasant interaction, but Pauline is actually regaling her good friend Delphine with what is supposed to be an UNBELIEVABLE STORY. We can believe anything's possible where that fanged freak is concerned, honestly.

Outside Caden, Lilac and Tiago are getting along famously - with the occasional flirt even. Tiago just seems happy that he doesn't have such a tough crowd for his MEMES.

Spencer! You're in a great mood after yoga, yes? Enough to stop giving people TENSE moodlets by spying on them, yes? Cue Padme and Anakin meme here. Elsewhere Mister takes out the trash while he contemplates a new comedy routine.

The budding friendship cluster of Caden, Lilac and Tiago wonder if they should submit Jack-E-Chan to the next Finchwick Fair in memory of Giovanna. In "memory" of? She's not in a GHOST life state, you three - just chilling in Forgotten Hollow with family.

Maybe Caden thought that "giant pumpkins" was an euphemism or something, because he once again got quite FLIRTY - but still took time to check in with Pauline after the bumpy morning she had.

And tonight, everyone hates my decor so much that they're eating dinner outside (or something). Nah actually, they're discussing how to best get this anti CLAIM TO BE A CRIMINAL MASTERMIND NAP passed. Delphine thinks Agnes is a shoe (purse?) in, but doubts she's in the matriarch's good graces after the first round. Maybe Caden could approach her? Old ladies are bound to love him!

Delphine - get away from there! Your LOGIC level is nowhere near high enough to look safely to the skies at night.

As the dusk sets in, some pixels seem highly aware that tomorrow is Elimination Day. Pauline goes in for a cheek smooch, while her bestie Delphine gets both the whims to HOLD HANDS with Lilac and KISS her in short succession.

Then we have Spencer receiving a rose from Lilac, and potentially giving her the same rose in return? Whatever, as a FREEGAN sim she may appreciate this example of reusing - and indeed she gets the prompt to pick up the ROMANTIC trait again.

(He looks so fucking pleased with himself here - I can't 😂)

But in spite of being a party guy, Mister is hitting the hay early!

Interesting tactic from him, especially when everyone else has the bachelorette standing in the kitchen all but overcome with lust.

However, part of being a successful businessman is knowing when to close the deal - and so it's Caden who Lilac heads upstairs with.

I'll let their "AFTER" looks speak for themselves.

And therefore it's also Caden who gets tonight's BED CUDDLE! Not a bad way to end the day before elimination at all.

"Another that I would swipe right on, were this a dating app? Watcher, did you bang your head or something? She is très cute, isn't she - Minta? No, we're assuming it would not be you initiating the flirting. And yes, we know that you wouldn't penalise Delphine for being friends with Shay, because you have "class" and "play fair" - concepts that you're aware "certain people are unable to appreciate"... Uh Dodo, can you come 'distract' her for a moment? Either she needs to fight Shay, or make out with her - just a suggestion..."

Delphine Hubert - SFS

For @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants Simply Lilac BC. Her entry is below but since she is cc free (you will need the below packs for everything) I'm putting her up for everyone because I like sharing.

EDIT: Omg I forgot to mention she has a dolphin tattoo on her ankle because that's one of the meanings of her name Delphine!

Shay: Okay Delphine, finishing touches in CAS and you're all set! We just have to do the intro questions. Normally the watcher asks them but since I gained the paranoid trait I get to help her out

Delphine: Alright, fire away!

Shay: Tell me all the boring stuff I'd need to steal your identity. Name, birthplace, job and so on

Delphine: *laughs* I'm Delphine Hubert (the t is silent). You've probably picked up on my accent. I was born in France, stayed there through high school. I live in Chestnut Ridge now though, trying to start up a nectar business, being an Expert Nectar Maker is my aspiration, but I don't seem to be able to gain skills in anything.

Shay: Oh I had that! Don't worry, it passes

Delphine: I'm bisexual and biromantic. I'm a... forgive me English is my second language... cisgender woman? I use she/her pronouns

Shay: Oh my gosh me to! Are you human? Wait, what is this question? Of course she's human

Delphine: I am human but trust me, vampires are out there. Several nice ones live in France you know

Shay: I did not know that, weird. Moving on *checks notes* tell me some more about you. How would others describe you? How would you describe you?

Delphine: I'm doing my best to be a Rancher, really get in to the life of Chestnut Ridge. I ah, I am quite... what is the word... Clumsy? Oui, clumsy. I am also Creative, I enjoy making things you know?

Shay: So why are you applying? To you know get sent to the middle of nowhere

Delphine: *laughs* You are asking this? That is irony, no?

Shay: I know, I know, I'm still finding sand everywhere!

Delphine: *chuckles* Well Lilac seems like a- an impressive woman. She has done a lot for her short number of years, no? And très jolie.

Shay: Gossip time! Tell me some things you like, in others, to do, that kind of thing

Delphine: My favourite colours are green, brown, blue and purple. For fashion I like the country and rocker styles. I enjoy flirting and gossiping, and find I like others who are idealist or spirited. I really enjoy nectar making, and gardening which you need for that. I have always wanted to try horse riding to, and I enjoy cooking.

Shay: And what about things you dislike?

Delphine: I do not enjoy dressing in polished clothes. I find it hard to get along with others who are egotistical or emotional decision makers. I do not enjoy when other complain, or when they... deceive? Deception? Lie! I do like to fish. I also haven't enjoyed bowling or snow-boarding. I also do not enjoy playing video games.

Shay: Oh girl you got some cute outfits! Alright, what's on your gift shortlist?

Delphine: For me or Lilac?

Shay: *checks* To give Lilac

Delphine: Oui. Ah... I am a classic, will go with some flowers. Likely rose. She is a music lover? Maybe guitar, cannot fit a piano in my inventory. Then... oh she likes photography, oui? A nice camera

Shay: *sighs* time for the awkward questions... will you be comfortable flirting with other contestants?

Delphine: I plan on flirting with Lilac

Shay: Oh I am with you, go for the goal right! But say there are some other cute ones around...

Delphine: I may flirt with other contestants but I cannot see myself woohooing with them, or any NPC's. My goal is Lilac, no?

Shay: How are you with changes? Gaining new traits or- becoming an occult? Seriously?

Delphine: *laughs* I am open to changing my personality but I do like being a human so I will choose to stay human

Shay: Final question! Are you comfortable- oh come on! Seriously?

Delphine: There is problem?

Shay: It asks if you're comfortable flirting with the host, Araminta. She's got a guy! The one I was going for, don't tell me she's forgotten Dodo already. Anyway, this is about you, not me

Delphine: I would flirt back but not initiate flirting

Shay: Good answer. Now make sure you don't tell her we're friends or she's bound to penalise you for it. Good luck Delphine!

Delphine: Merci

And here we are for the seventh day of the fourth round! Delphine is on breakfast, but that's not our most pressing business.

Sadly, we have to say goodbye to one contestant, and the unlucky number 13 to be eliminated is...

While he and Lilac had enough raw chemistry to power a small village the size of Tokyo, some questions had been raised about his relationship longevity - and once the households merged, he kind of checked out of the competition.

I'll do proper farewell posts at the very end of this round (along with a smol surprise gift), but thank you @igglemouse for sending the moustachioed one my way! May he get the CRIMINAL MASTERMIND part he was potentially method acting for - and let's hope he doesn't do anything truly drastic, like shaving off his 'stache.

He took the departure amicably enough, but it wouldn't be Mister without one last MISCHIEF interaction.

(Also if you're wondering why his score is actually lower this time, that's because I'm no longer counting SKILLS.)

Keep in touch, Mister.

In spite of Delphine's EXCELLENT quality aubergine parmesan, Lilac's a little somber over breakfast.

But the rest of the group do their best to rally and lift her spirits.

And in spite of him being a little so-and-so at times, Spencer and Pauline actually have a good friendship and an almost sibling-like dynamic if we ignore those attraction pings 💀

After breakfast, Lilac is suitably buoyed up to go on an one woman kissathon! First up is Pauline. Then Caden, who still has those lingering good moodlets from last night's BED CUDDLE.

Spencer. I thought we had discussed this?

Because Caden's an actual grown up, he takes care of his TENSE moodlets through yoga.

Lilac sighs. She needs to have a Talk with Spencer, doesn't she?

This household hasn't been as dramatic as the first one. This household also lacks a Spencer and a Forest (Jerrod with his moonlit grilled cheese jogging brought the chaos, but not so much the drama). However, this isn't to say that things have been uneventful, so this is just a small* post to wrap a ribbon around the day.

*Turns out I lied.

Tiago's hoping that Mister will be distracted from any further claims of villainy by his delicious cupcakes. Good call, Tiago. Not everyone can talk and eat at the same time.

And this is when Delphine receives an attraction ping - from Caden! Much like Spencer in the first household, however, Caden keeps his behaviour friendly and doesn't act on it.

Someone feeling a little gloomy and left out is Mister. Mister, there was a spare seat at their table and yet you chose to sit all the way over there by your lonesome?

Fortunately Tiago has just the thing to cheer him up.

When I tell you that the instant he sat next to Mister, I groaned aloud and said "oh no, buddy, no..."

Yeah, we all could have told him exactly how that would go down. Caden however perceives Tiago's distress and makes a point of applauding him 🥲

Otherwise, dinner continues to be a merry affair for... almost everyone. Mister, I get that not everyone likes memes, but look. If your reaction were any more of a production, Ridley Scott would be directing it. I have him attempt to GIVE HIMSELF A PEP TALK.

Someone having a better night is Delphine, who gets the WHIM to ask Lilac on a date! This will count towards her points.

Having calmed down somewhat, Mister gets the idea that he should lead by example in showing Tiago something so much better than memes: claiming to be a CRIMINAL MASTERMIND! Clearly the superior form of humour.

(I love these looks on their faces afterwards - the kind of strained smile you get at a wedding when the best man has just made a really inappropriate joke 🤭)

Later on, more flirtations are exchanged with Lilac by Delphine (and Tiago), and Mister has an epiphany....

This lover of classic westerns knows just what he needs to convince everyone of his ruse - a black hat! Everyone knows that only the most dastardly of cowboys wear them.

And he isn't the only one experiencing a lightbulb moment. After a perusal of Beyond Big and Bad, Caden becomes a WEREWOLF ALLY.

Mister daren't risk more memes by sharing a room with Tiago - he's going off to sleep in the Shag Shed instead! While Caden cleans out Moojito's shed and Tiago finds a new audience (you wouldn't bee-lieve how much they love his memes), Delphine therefore snags the last BED CUDDLE of this household.

@mdshh @changingplumbob @igglemouse @simsfvr

(up until bedtime, the shirts mostly stayed on - 👕👕👕)

[ethicaltreatmentofcowplants]

prev | next

Like last time, I have no pictures of cute animals to post, so let's start with a shirtless Mister and collect our daily flag. Love the look on Caden's face - "well, we won't be flagged because of me."

Tiago is just happy to be in the great outdoors and no longer around such a dastardly criminal presence as Mister - "...he's standing right behind me, isn't he?"

(Mister was actually complimenting Lilac's appearance, but let's pretend.)

For some reason, everyone is congregating around this one tile. Perhaps Tiago figures there's safety in numbers? Delphine shares Caden's skepticism about Mister's claims, and he's too busy locking eyes with Lilac to convince her otherwise.

And look, we are three for three in shirts! This is not a drill. For this momentous occasion (👕👕👕), Mister receives a hug of gratitude from Lilac.

Lilac is just vibing when she receives a text from Spencer. Naturally she declines, but that pixel is nothing if not persistent 😅

Next minute, we have a surprise and very unplanned guest. Spencer. What are you doing here? This isn't your rotation. And oh, the old "neighbourly gift" story - when you're currently loaded into a San Sequoia household and should not be able to visit anyway!

Barrel Bunny (or more accurately, Caden) soon send him on his way. I made sure that he and Lilac never interacted, so this little visit doesn't advantage him in any way.

But Lilac is not the only popular lady in this household. Our security woof-woof Lou Howell invites Delphine over to his pad! Men, Lilac, isn't she right?

Interruptions apparently done with, the rest of the afternoon settles into a more familiar routine of flirting with and serenading the bachelorette (and shirtless Misters). Even Tiago no longer seems concerned about the villainy in their midst.

At one point no-one is talking to Lilac, nor has any interactions queued with her. So as a kind of litmus test I send her back inside alone - and surprise! Caden is the pixel thoughtful enough to check on her. And flirt, naturally.

Caden then autonomously DISCUSSES HIS FEAR OF COMMITTMENT, and in spite of Lilac's hands on hips stance, the conversation goes well.

By now, I feel that his NON COMMITTAL trait no longer suits him. As there's no way to get rid of it short of proposing (which obviously isn't an option), I message @mdshh and ask if it's cool to remove it. So Caden is no longer a NON COMMITTAL pixel, but still has MATERIALISTIC as a negative trait in the context of this challenge.

Elsewhere Delphine is smart and strategizes, picking up a skill book to increase her chances of making it to the merge. Since skills will no longer count past that point, this is the last time anyone will be able to take advantage of them.

Later Tiago is showing off his moves in the kitchen - and Mister is once more insisting he's a CRIMINAL MASTERMIND. Mister, please! No one seems to like that joke anymore 😅

"Oh Watcher, how you spoil me. This one is going to be hilarious. With that interest in the big screen, it seems like you should have been on Mad About Dodo to meet Leonardo, Mister, but I see now that you're one of our token straights (don't worry, I'll protect you). I will call you 'Mister,' but it will take something else for me to call you 'Daddy.' Aaaaand Minta just choked on her tea, everyone..."

Mister Maxwel

For @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants Simply Lilac BC!

Name: Mister Maxwell. Yes, that means if you call him Mr. Maxwell you'll be saying his full name.

Age Group: Young Adult

Pronouns: He/ Him

Orientation: Heterosexual

Hometown: Chestnut Ridge

Occupation: Unemployed just living life but one day he'll be a big action start making millions.

Skills: Is flexing a skill? Otherwise, no skills at all!

Traits: Goofball, Party Animal, Self- Assured.

Aspiration: He wants to experience as many parties as possible. Is this a party?!?

Life State: A complete hunk.

Likes: Acting, Bowling, Fitness, and photography...alright that last one means he likes being in pictures as well as taking them.

Dislikes: Painting, he just doesn't understand it.

Gifts: He'd give flowers of course, he's not very original.

In Depth: Alright alright alright, it's time for me to take over and speak for myself. Actually, just scroll back up and check the pictures. Better yet, check the pecs, the biceps, and most importantly, the stache.

I guess I'm supposed to put something about me here? I was born in a boring town, Chestnut Ridge, so I grew up wanting to get out of there and so spent most of my life going between Del Sol and San Myshuno. Usually I hit the gym in the day then find a party at night and I usually leave with a woman on my arm. So I'm not a one woman man but maybe that's what I need? I'm going to be a star one day after all!

Back home, Lilac wastes no time at all. Caden receives first a compliment, then a massage, from our leading lady.

We're just going to ignore Spencer lurking in the background like the SOON meme that he is. Yeah, you better stay put, warns Moojito.

Elsewhere Delphine boxes, Spencer gets cozy in front of the fire - while Lilac and Caden continue to act cozy.

Tiago is enjoying his best audience yet for MEMES - the bees.

Back indoors, Spencer gets some affection from Lilac, then Pauline makes the bachelorette an offer that she has to refuse (for now). Because our reward for making the top six - a keg party - is about to start! I know of at least one moustachioed pixel who's about to be very happy.

Mister's got this! (Spoiler alert: he don't got this.)

Sadly, one pixel has taken the earlier "mindfulness" as "mind full of other people's business." Spencer - you've likely had your share of keg stand days. Stop spying and tap us our juice!

(I didn't quite catch it but he got the job done. The party is a-go!)

And we are just going to ignore how Caden - and the other yoga participants - are sweating profusely due to my Whims settings going AWOL, yes yes. However this acted as my "canary in a coalmine" and I did restore them before things got too far.

Next to get an IOU for woo-hoo is Tiago. Lilac's collecting a lot of appointments for later tonight.

Tiago's happy to wait. There's music, a keg - what more could a pixel want? Lilac and Delphine then chat, and flirt - and Lilac gains the GROWING CLOSER FROM QUALITY TIME sentiment for her.

Mister is in his element - wahoo! (Also thank you to him and Caden for giving us our one White Man Shuffle of the evening.) Just when the moustachioed one thinks that his night couldn't possibly get any better, the Watcher instructs him to order pizza.

Yup, you have the night off cooking, babes - enjoy.

Caden De Loughrey for @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants' "Simply Lilac"

Name: Caden De Loughrey Age Group: Young Adult Pronouns: He/Him Orientation: Heterosexual Hometown: Newcrest Occupation: Investor in business career Traits: Perfectionist, materialistic, noncommittal Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy Life State: Human Likes: Horse Riding, Piano, Black Dislikes: Video Gaming, Fishing Gifts: Easel, lily, strawberry

Caden comes from a wealthy family - his father was a successful businessman, his mom an actress. Since early childhood he's been under his father's pressure to succeed in life and continue his legacy. He didn't have a lot of friends since he was always busy attending private school and extracurricular activities. His mom was a kind soul, that you can't tell about his dad. Being deprived of all electronic devices, piano was his only joy, he enjoyed making beautiful symphonies.

Now Caden is a young adult. He is a cold-hearted businessman and there was no place for love in his life. Until he decided it was time for a change. Maybe Lilac is the one he was searching for?

As @mdianasims once said, in the Sims there's always one shot of a party where it actually looks like a party - and here it is!

Actually, let's make that several more:

I mean, when even Mr Prim and Proper (Caden) has loosened his tie, you know that it's a great night.

cw: mild sims spice - guide to my warnings

Mister receives a flirt - and a Lilac WHIM! That will be five points to you, sir. Although she is a LAZY pixel, so it's equally likely that she's just making a play for his slice of pizza.

Together Pauline and Spencer wonder what makes a successful keg stand more likely. Is it the PARTY ANIMAL trait? Nah, that's tied to a completely different pack. Gotta be go BRO or go home - that one's base game compatible. (Mister's probably just happy to mark his pizza safe from Lilac.)

This is probably the only beverage MATERIALISTIC Caden has ever consumed that was served in a paper cup. It's not half bad, however - does anyone know the vintage?

Elsewhere Mister airs out his by now well-worn* CLAIM TO BE A CRIMINAL MASTERMIND routine. Pauline and Delphine are both suitably whelmed.

*I am taking a look at his CAS later, as no one else is claiming to be this, like, every other sentence 😅 Struan and Spencer are also GOOFBALLS, but Struan only claimed to be a criminal mastermind twice (if that), while Spencer does sometimes, but to a far less frequent degree?

Official time on the party is beginning to wind down, so Lilac considers her... other commitments.

(And yeah, Pauline can safely go for the neck in this life state.)

But even if Caden is busy being responsible and junk, the party don't stop until Mister walks out! (I was trying for a Ke$ha reference here - shush). It's time for party tricks and keg stands, baby!

Now, now. He's just out of practice.

If at first you don't succeed? You dust yourself off and fall again - right, Mister?

Then Pauline (refreshed from her Lilac session) asks Delphine to hoist her up. A CLUMSY pixel? Spencer knew there was only one way that was going down - which was hard on Pauline's tailbone.

Ooof.

Just when I think that Mister and Tiago are finally bonding - nope, it's another CLAIM TO BE CRIMINAL MASTERMIND. Fortunately Caden and Delphine are conversing more pleasantly.

I agree, Pauline. That's enough keg stands for tonight.

And so Spencer gets the BED CUDDLE - while maybe dreaming of a white Winterfest or something 😏

I have no cute solo pics of animals for today, so instead here's Tiago grooving with Jack-E-Chan.

Welcome back to what may well be the final day for some of these pixels! Yes, I know already who's going home - and I'm not saying anything, mwuhahahaha.

(I'm kidding. If you're anxious about the fate of your own pixel, message me and I'll give you a 'safe or no' answer.)

This morning's chef was Mister, who was cornered by a roving Lilac where she suggested that they... do an activity together. Yeah, what happened was that I'd already sent Lilac to bed when I noticed that she'd queued up an "ask for sex" interaction. Since everyone was asleep, I cancelled it and had her do an IOU the next day.

Elsewhere Delphine does not want a fruit salad for breakfast - she wants candy! Yeah, that's exactly what happened and not her making a CHEERFUL self discovery, mmhmm. After everything he's experienced here, a nearby glowing pixel does not bother Caden in the slightest.

Tiago persists with the memes - and fortunately finds a more receptive audience in both Delphine and Caden?

And yup, we are currently zero from three with shirts (👕👕👕). Will no one think of the children? Who will see much the same as this if they go to the beach, and who should be 13+ to access Tumblr anyway?

As he is the closest we have to a PROPER pixel, Lilac chats with Caden and tries to convince him at least to put on a shirt. Fine, Lilac - but he doesn't have to like it.

Tiago is manscaped for the gods and relieved that he wasn't asked to cover up, so he hugs Lilac in gratitude - and then pranks her? The pixels in this save once again making the most of me not having Lovestruck installed 😅 (Bonus: Caden in the distance going off to find a shirt and looking none too happy about it.)

Have shirt, will flirt? Delphine is determined to make the most of the last day before the merge and smooches Lilac not once, but twice!

Poor Caden was upstairs and missed the kissathon. Try to do the right thing, try to think of the children and find a shirt - and where does that get you? Nowhere. Watch him never do anything nice again! From now on it's exclusively stealing candy from babies and cancelling Winterfest. Fortunately Lilac makes it up to him by what I can only describe as yet another spectral reach embrace...

...and some sexy posing! Ooh la la!

If you feel that Mister has been quiet up until now, then well. The latest pixel in my save to CLAIM TO BE A CRIMINAL MASTERMIND, he's perhaps repeating this act enough for it to overstay its welcome as far as his housemates are concerned, where it annoys Delphine and alarms Tiago.

Caden merely looks indulgent. Would a real criminal mastermind go around telling everyone as much? Probably not, unless he thought that by making it so overt, you therefore wouldn't believe him and he would be beyond suspicion. Now that's some "sims are smarter than ever before" level thinking.

As Tiago despairs about such a rogue sort in their midst and the hardened criminal mastermind Mister showcases his raw genius via Rubix Cube, Caden continues to receive attention from the bachelorette.

"San My represent! I expect great things from you, hometown girlie. And oho, a HIGH MAINTENANCE Sim? Your Watcher was not playing when she picked your negative trait. Even being a FOODIE is going to cause some uncomfortable moodlets - at least until everyone's cooking skill picks up. Still, maybe if we're extra good the Watcher will send over Dodo to cook for us. Also, which no-name townie did your Watcher sacrifice to get you that ombre? Watcher Hayley, a girl can never have too much cc, you know..."

Jayla Madison for @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants' Simply Lilac Bachelorette Challenge

Name: Jayla (Jay or J for short) Madison Age Group: Young Adult (I would say around 25) Pronouns: She/Her Orientation: Bisexual Hometown: San Myshuno Occupation: Restaurant Rater in the Critic Career, Food Critic Branch (doesn't actually have this occupation set but it is what I imagine her having) Skills: None Traits: Foodie, Creative, High Maintenance Aspiration: City Native Life State: Normal Sim Likes: Black, Red, Dancing, Mixology, R&B Music, Pop Music Dislikes: Yellow, Gray, Fishing, Programming, Kids Radio Music, Baroque Music Gifts: Love Potion #4 Drink, Any Experimental Food Photo, Rejuvenating Facial Mask

Jayla has lived in San Myshuno all her life. She is definitely a city girl by heart. Being a contestant in this bacherlorette will be different than the life she is accustomed too but she is ready for take on the challenge if it means she can find true love with Lilac.

Jayla knows her way around the bar and can make all sorts of drinks which is the only thing she has used as a creative outlet but she isn't opposed to trying something new she can get creative with. She doesn't really cook since she finds it more convenient to get her food from the food stalls or from all the amazing restaurants she visits for work. Jayla is a high maintenance sim which means she puts a lot of effort into her appearance and small inconveniences seem to sour her mood. She loves having her nails done and likes doing skincare by using facial masks.

I hope Lilac will like her! I am never good at writing descriptions so I feel like what I wrote is lame but I hope it is enough to see what kind of sim Jayla is.

After their bout last time, Lilac had just commenced a tickle attack on Caden when Mister decides to sit across from them while drinking a glass of milk. Awkward. Perhaps he's advocating the importance of calcium for bone-ing?

Still, Lilac is careful to give everyone some of her time - and is also starting an one-woman kiss-a-thon, by the looks of things.

First is Tiago, after SERENADING him in the garden.

Next for the "sing and smooch" treatment is Mister.

And then it's full circle back to Caden in the kitchen. Delphine got hers by the she-shed that morning - it's the early access tier.

Caden also helps out with the clean-up, which is something Lilac would otherwise especially mind, being a LAZY pixel.

Boink. Tiago is seeing stars, which is concerning when you consider that we're in Henford, not Del Sol - and the Watcher has that 'home regions' mod. The culprit is a ball from his inventory, which he must have 'borrowed' from that communal site in the first round.

Yes, a nice soak may be a good idea. Which now makes Caden the last shirt standing (👕👕👕).

For everyone else, it's socialisation in the lounge hour. Or making eyes at Lilac hour, if you're Caden.

Mister suggests to Delphine that she perhaps try some of the cursed candy which earlier brought him so much joy, but she's distinctly not amused by the idea.

Then it's Take Two for flirting between Delphine and Lilac! D'awww - look at that last one.

Over low-poly aubergine parmesan where Mister finally seems to warm to him, Tiago contemplates sharing the joy of memes. Sorry buddy, I don't think he's much into them.

Also once again we are two out of three for shirts (👕👕👕).

As everyone starts to wind down, I put Lilac to bed. With her SELDOM SLEEPY trait, she doesn't actually need to bunk down all that often. Still, who doesn't like BED CUDDLE? Certainly Caden does.

Welcome back to Day Three, where we kick off Household Two! Don't forget to hug a mini sheep and autonomously interact with the bachelorette 🫡

Tiago is the first to greet Lilac, while Caden is on breakfast (but seemingly still gets to appreciate certain assets later).

cw: moderate sims spice - guide to my warnings

So far we are three for three in terms of Men in Tops (🎵) but let's not mark ourselves safe from Tumblr just yet.

While breakfast is otherwise full of good food and high spirits, Tiago does struggle with impressing the Cool Kid (Mister).

Don't change a thing about yourself, buddy.

Also while I wasn't quick enough to catch it, I only realised that Tiago and Caden have never before been in a household together when Caden autonomously walked over and introduced himself with a handshake. D'awww.

Moojito is meanwhile holding a NO BOYS ALLOWED club at her she-shed. Stay away, anyone who isn't named Delphine or Lilac! No men. No men. None.

Lilac ends up talking about marriage of all things - then ooh la la!

I think Moojito approves.

Indoors, Lilac continues to be a pixel on a mission. While Tiago is still a little blue about his lack of success in impressing cool guy Mister, Caden gets his Lilac cuddlegram (and then a bonus jump scare). Fortunately spending so long with these gremlins means that the otherwise cultured Caden no longer minds MISCHIEF interactions.

Speaking of 'mind,' Lilac soon proves to have other things on hers.

Yeah, I think we Watchers have seen enough.

This means of course that everyone else gets chore montage hour! Tiago shares gardening duties with a BORED Mister (though they later get assistance from a bun-bun), while a significantly more enthused Delphine manages to avoid swimming with the fishes.

And as Mister autonomously started using the punching bag earlier, we are now one shirt down (👕👕👕). Two, if you count Caden's current state of undress.

Back indoors, Mister finds his own means of fun - and Caden becomes the first pixel of this round to get a Lilac whim! This will count towards his points.

"Finally, another occult! You're lucky I left the four legged life behind, otherwise gameplay mechanics would dictate that we start as (im)mortal enemies. Still, enemies to lovers is a trope for a reason. The passion! The intensity! The drama! I see that to my admittedly limited knowledge, you're not at a high enough tier to be a daywalker like your father, but we'll keep you stocked in sunlight reversal cocktails - don't you worry. Just remember, we only nibble consensually in this household..."

Sage Graves-Vatore for @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants's Simply Lilac BC

Yeah, I'm taking another chance with ANOTHER Graves legacy spare after sending Tempest out to the Mad About Dodo BC ! I did say that Tempest would return home and brag about her experience lol. She definitely pushed her little sister into this one since her big brother Timber is married and other brother Benjamin isn't into women. Sage is her last hope. SO ANYWAY I hope you like her!!

Name: Sage Graves-Vatore Age Group: Young adult Pronouns: She/Her Orientation: Bisexual Hometown: Windenburg Occupation: eSports competitor  Traits: Kleptomaniac. Cheerful, Geek Aspiration: Computer whiz Life State: Vampire (prime vampire rank) Likes: Video gaming, photography, programming, dancing, S-pop/Pop music, the colors gray and purple Dislikes: Cooking, fitness, classical music, ranch music, the color yellow Gifts: Tamed cowplant skull, emerald, snowglobe (I forgot to add stuff to her inventory i’m sorry) Bio:  Often the most overlooked child in her big family, Sage has found solace in joining online communities for occults. Her brothers and mother are werewolves, her big sister gave up vampirism in favor of fitting in with humans and her father is… well, he’s Caleb. It’s lonely in this big world and she’s made it her mission to find like-minded people. It’s partly why she chose to pursue a career in gaming, to host livestreams and curate a little online bubble for those who enjoy video games AND monsters. She’s just a sweet, nerdy girl who probably needs to touch grass from time to time. This challenge may just give her just what she’s looking for in life, a chance to make more friends and disconnect from the online world that she’s clung onto for so long…and finding love along the way wouldn’t hurt either!

We are back for what has already been a busy morning! And if you are indeed a criminal mastermind, the very best thing you can do is to keep it to yourself.

Lilac has Had It. She is putting a moratorium on any further claims of being a criminal mastermind. Look, Tiago's with her. Fellas?

"C'mon, man - would it really hurt you to try?" "That's what they said about broccoli, and the 'stache has only been a 9.8 out of 10 ever since..." [shudders]

Thanks, Delphine! Lilac knew that she'd have your vote.

And Delphine has still more good news. Not only is she backing this new embargo of Lilac's, but she is submitting it as a Neighbourhood Action Plan! (Gotta make use out of the Eco Lifestyle gameplay somehow.) Talk dirty to her more, Delphine...

Outside Lilac shares the news of Delphine's NAP with a very excited Pauline. Tiago feels that it can't come soon enough.

Okay, so today many are in an 'affectionate' mood. Spencer heads outside to EMBRACE Lilac (with Pauline perhaps giving her some kind of look? 🤭). They're only aware of the look that they're sharing with each other, however.

Ahhhh! A wild MEME has appeared! Don't worry, Delphine - Tiago will catch it for you.

At some point I noticed that Delphine had major TENSE moodlets, thought that perhaps she was tired of Tiago's CRINGE - but nope, it was Mister up to his old (very old) tricks again. Now she has a FESTERING GRUDGE towards him. That NAP cannot be passed soon enough.

No, I don't think she's going to "just calm down."

Moving right along. Caden gains the ADORING sentiment for Lilac when she thanks him for wearing a shirt compliments his outfit, but Mister's antics have her so TENSE that she responses adversely to Pauline's TALK ABOUT MARRIAGE interaction 😟

Sigh. I have her circle back to anyone who just happened to catch her in an "off" moment, so she'll check in with Pauline later. Caden however advises his new GOOD FRIEND not to worry - he's sure Lilac's reaction had nothing to do with her.

Back inside, Lilac shares a moment with Delphine.

And Caden.

And then - for variety's sake - she heads back to the garden to flutter her eyelashes at Tiago.

With these new improved moodlets of hers, Lilac and Pauline do restore their relationship points over a game of chess 🥲
