Yoshi & Matilde

Meet Yoshi Nakamura and Matilde Barton, my sims for @jenba‘s population project.  Yoshi and Matilde first met as kids when they moved next door to each other.  They were best friends until Yoshi’s family moved away when they were in high school.  By happy chance they attended the same university, fell in love, and realized that they never wanted to part again.  These newlyweds are excited to start their lives together in Newlyn Hills - they bought a little house they love (the Dunford starter) and opened a bakery and tea shop.  

Info under the cut...

Yoshi & Matilde will be in @jenba‘s Newlyn Hills world save which will be released sometime next month.  They are also available for download in the Gallery under my Origin ID vicarious-sims4.

Watch out for Jacques Villareal!

Well what a coincidence, I was just reading about Jacques Villareal’s debauched and libidinous ways when this happened in game…

Kashaya was enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot tub at the Refinery Pool & Rec when Jacques sauntered by, brazenly dropped his robe, and hopped in.  At first she was hesitantly polite but then Jacques started talking.

Jacques: Hey baby, I don’t know what’s hotter in here – you or this water? How about we take it to the boiler room where we can make it scorching? Kashaya: Excuse me?  Did you come up with that pick up line specifically for this place?  I mean, you get maybe half a point for your feeble attempts at creativity, but NO, that’s a hard pass. Jacques: You know what else is h…? Kashaya: I’m going to stop you right there you perverted lech.  Ugh, YUCK!!  I wouldn’t be interested in you if you were the last person on earth! Jacques: I’ll have you know people pay lots of money to get a look at my hot bod. Kashaya: I’ll pay you to not have to look at it!  And I’ll pay extra if you get lost! Jacques: Your loss, there’s plenty of babes on Simder who’d love a chance with me. Kashaya: Ew!  Keep telling yourself that.

And with that Kashaya promptly rushed off to make herself some extra strong nectar in hopes of forgetting this rather unpleasant interaction.

Honestly, @cabsim, Jacques is showing such flagrant disregard for his marriage vows.  Personally, I think Penelope deserves better!
