Looking For A Partner



Carlos has had to buy a double bed as Shirley has taken to staying over most nights but he's still struggling to get a meaningful relationship going she even turned down his first kiss which as you can imagine got Carlos very upset. It's now Friday only one day then it's the weekend hopefully Carlos and Shirley can spend some quality time together.

Saturday didn't quite go as planned due to a very public toilet Shirley ended up wetting herself and going home embaressed so Carlos decided to explore town. After repairing a TV for a young lad who was very grateful he visited the park and had a relaxing read on a park bench and as evening approached he started feeling peckish so he knocked on the door of the first occupied house he came too.

It was owned by the Spence family and they invited him in and started making pancakes. They got talking and Carlos started gossiping about Shirleys little accident and before they knew it the pancakes had burnt.
Even though they where almost uneatable they all tucked in. Then it was time for home. Carlos decided to call Shirley first thing and spend the whole day with her.

Finally after alot of wooing Shirley and Carlos had there first kiss.

Shortly after this they started going steady wonder if Carlos can convince Shirley to move in before the day is through?

Shirley and Carlos just tried for a baby in the double bed outside under the stars and the first child was conceived and Carlos been a gentleman immediately proposed marriage and was accepted. To top up his good mood Carlos got promoted at work he now earns 53 Simoleons maybe he can start building the house now and stop living in the middle of a field although sleeping under the stars may be something he decides to keep up.

To finish things off nicely Shirley and Carlos had a private wedding ceremony and Shirley moved in the household funds are now 5000 Simoleons. Stay tuned because in the next installment the first heir or heiress may be born and Carlos and Shirley will start work on there dream home.

My Legacy Challenge Starring Carlos Zanzibar




Yesterday the rules for The Sims 3 version of The Legacy Challenge where made available to all us eager simmers the link is below:

I have decided to create a blog based on my attempt at the challenge and here is my founder Carlos Zanzibar not sure where the name came from:



and as per the rules of the challenge he starts out with very little:


Carlos started out with the following traits: Absent Minded, Great Kisser, Handy, Ambitious and Lucky

Should be an interesting mix.

The first aim was to get a job to earn some much needed cash and then to meet someone for romance and hopefully a move towards continuing the legacy. A job was found in the science career as a test subject which brings in 44 simoleons an hour not much but it's a start. In the romance field he started off by chatting up Fatima Simovitch which turned out to be his bosses wife not a good move!!! So after a trip to the local juice bar he started to get on well with Shirley Lin who is a hopeless romantic very friendly but has no sense of humour also she went mad when Carlos began to flirt. She has one hidden trait so things should be interesting. She works as a Bed Pan Cleaner in the local hospital.

So far all Carlos's meals have been cereal eaten on the toilet and he's using the gym for showers. Well after a hard day of work tonight is the night Carlos is going to invite Shirley over and try and get romantically involved and maybe find out her hidden trait.
