Build a city challenge

1. The New Willow Bay
Year 1 – Winter 1
Sim, Deppiesse, & Fancey Families

2. Welcome back to the New Willow Bay. Another update, another season. Seeing as we have to move things along to make
progress, my simself buys up the first community lot in town.
Rex: This is my hell.

3. This is Shadow Court Grocer’s. The official grocery store for the Shadow Court section of Willow Bay.
Rex: Jihoon, get on the cash. I got this.

4. Clearly I’m a natural at sales. Too bad I hate it in real life.
Rex: And here is more crap for you to buy off me. Fill my pockets, townie scum!

6. More business lot spam.

7. And there we have it- first level 10 business of the challenge. That means 1 position in the business career has been
unlocked.

8. And now back to normal winter life.
Rex: Can you cook me chilli one of these days?
Jihoon: Man, I don’t even know how to cook macaroni.

9. Welp. Guess my simself isn’t the one carrying this baby.

10. Jihoon: I love you so much, my dude. It’s totally tubular.
Rex: I love myself, too.

11. Jihoon: Creator, dude… will you marry me?
Rex: How many carats is this?

12. I’m so going to regret this marriage.

13. At least I’ll get some peace and quiet.
Rex: Sorry that having the child of your god is so exhausting.

14. Jihoon is so going to die during this pregnancy…

15. Was this the wedding shot? Either way, I made an honest man out of Jihoon Hsu.

16. Aw… this didn’t start a fire.
Rex: Really? You want to kill me?

17. It’s a girl! This is Eleanor Sim, mine and Jihoon’s daughter. She has blonde hair and Jihoon’s dark blue eyes.

18. Jihoon: Have a good sleep, little dude. Your other dad will probably berate you, too.
I am not that much of an asshole. I swear.

19. Hobby Leader: Would you like to join-
Rex: Excuse me, but what the fuck? I’m changing my kid’s diaper, here.
Hobby Leader: Sorry, I-
Rex: Do you just let yourself in to everyone’s home? Jesus Christ… one of these days someone aught to beat your ass.
No pictures of my simself slinging baby poo at this guy exist. Unfortunately.

20. Eleanor is definitely a cutie. She’s an Aries (7/10/9/1/1). I would have a screenshot of it, but my laptop wouldn’t let me
take one.
**Half the time I accidentally switch from US style keyboard (which is needed to play games) to the Quebec style
keyboard. Damn Canadian configuations.

21. Honestly, my simself is goal weight. When I’m shirtless, I’m too fat.
Rex: Then loose weight.
Asshole.

22. Say what you will, but I make a good father.

23. I swear Jihoon isn’t pregnant again.
Either way, this was the moment the house switched to spring, so time to let these sims rest.

24. And now we switch to the Deppiesse family. Abhijeet had some items in his inventory which made it to his new home.

25. Abhijeet had to fulfill a few wants before he set the season to winter to be on track with the rest of the neighbourhood
(although later I realized that you don’t need to have a positive aspiration for the weather machine to work).

26. Of course, with his lifetime want of wanting twenty simultaneous lovers, I need to make use of Abhijeet’s pre-existing
relationships. First up, Benjamin Long (who will be moving in).

27. Based on the rate of growth for Willow Bay, I think Ben’s want to be a City Planner might actually work out.

28. Gotta make that fellow townie fall in love!

29. Benjamin: *slurp*
Gross.

30. To keep the trend of businesses in the new Willow Bay, Abhijeet buys what will become a booming clothing store known as
Baywear Clothing.
Unfortunately, a lack of funds from his new friend with benefits means that have to get a little dirty before getting things
started.

31. This store will be the perfect way to get the townies into some decent clothing. Or at least make them look like a bunch
of mid-00s emo kids.

32. As more income comes in (from rewards), the store was expanded and employees were hired on (such as Regina Go with
the mohawk).

34. Ultimately, I left the business at level 9 for the time being.

35. But before we head back to the Deppiesse house, check out the upstairs of Baywear Clothes. Once a few more employees
are hired, it’ll be Abhijeet’s little love nest.

36. Sim Shrink: You are ze romanze sim, ja? Ze doktor recommends lots und lots of Schwertfisch!
Abhijeet: Huh?
Sim Shrink: Iz Deutsch for woohoo, ja.

37. Well, if not Schwertfisch, at least Abhijeet can find love. He never said he wanted to woohoo everyone.

38. Abhijeet Deppiesse- lover of everyone!

40. I think this is love number 5 for Abhijeet. Let’s celebrate the occasion by having Christy Stratton move in.

41. Welp… time to reveal what Christy wants to do with her life…

42. Raise 20 puppies or kittens. Really? Bad family sim!

43. Christy: *smiles creepily*
Abhijeet: Can I help you?
Christy: Love you.

44. Apparently Christy does not understand what it means to live with a romance sim.

45. Benjamin: Is she okay?
Abhijeet: Just ignore her.
Benjamin: Do you want me to lick your plate clean.
Abhijeet: Are you okay?

46. Christy: He’s MY man. How dare you sleep with him, you slut!
Benjamin: Ah- my pee stream!

47. Abhijeet: WOO! Catfight!

48. Oh dear. Looks like someone is expecting.

49. With springtime upon us at 2 Shadow Court, it’s time to send off a couple sims. First Christy moves out (to make sure no
one gets murdered).

50. Followed by Benjamin.
Benjamin: But what about the baby?
You will raise it on your own with your saliva covered plates.

51. Finally some peace and quiet for Abhijeet.

52. Both Christy and Benjamin get 2 storey homes for their inevitable families.
All homes so far designed by Alienpod on Tumblr.

53. This brings me to the final household of the rotation: the Fancey house. Melissa, like Abhijeet, also wants 20 lovers.
Her inventory came decked out with a fish tank. Which then died after a day.

54. Melissa will be taking the first position in the business career… when it becomes available.
Melissa: I have no money left.

55. Powerpoint told me to label this as a group of people in a park. Uh… this is someone’s home, Microsoft. Dumbass AI.

56. Much like myself, Melissa sleeps next to a computer.
Melissa: The warm glow keeps me up at night.
Learn to live with insomnia like the rest of us.

57. Oh wow. Look at you finding treasure chests.
Melissa: I didn’t want to starve.

58. So not much else happened in winter for Melissa Fancey. She got a job in business and a promotion while turning Gordon
Woloneski into her first of twenty lovers.

59. As of right now, the Shadow Court section of Willow Bay is almost entirely filled out. Just a few more houses & businesses
until it’s ready.
As you can see, there are at least 4 households so…

60. A stadium has been placed. This is Willow Bay Stadium (downloaded from ModtheSims). When I went in to check the lot value, the
screen was black for a bit before loading. My game then crashed. So, just for my sanity, this will just be a vanity stadium to unlock
athletic.
