Round 7: City Living with Noisy Neighbors

In a detour from the original structure of the Globetrotting challenge, Ruby and Paolo moved into a one-bedroom apartment in San Myshino’s Spice Market because that’s my favorite one. It’s so fun!

As you can see, they furnished the apartment largely with Ruby’s crafted furniture and got a TV upgrade! By the end, they splurged on a talking toilet, too. Because who doesn’t like to get a massage or watch the news while they poo?

With her loving husband’s help, Ruby was able to complete BOTH CL collections: the posters and the snow globes. 

The aspiration required Ruby to visit all four festivals, too. Which was so much fun! Paolo and Ruby both joined the Jokesters at the Humor and Hijinks Festival and won! 

During the Romance Festival, they renewed their wedding vows. It was very romantic. You may recall from this random post that Paolo likes to (autonomously) serenade his lovely Ruby despite hating singing. And she is so smitten by him! It’s no wonder that when Ruby asked about her current relationship, the Guru said, and I quote:

A match made to last the ages.

I literally do not think I’ve ever had a sims couple so in love. I usually end up just getting them together, having babies and then they never talk again or something. But with Ruby’s outgoing nature and busy lifestyle, her social need decays quickly, and Paolo is always there to pick her up.

Ruby picked up a couple new skills in San Myshuno! Sure, she needed the singing skill for the aspiration, but she didn’t need to win 2 separate karaoke contests! Mic drop.

She also picked up the guitar and became slightly famous. On the right, you can see her in her party outfit that she never gets to show off. She put it on to entertain fans at the Arts Center. I think I have those boots…

Paolo started painting because he didn’t have much to do. Turns out, he loves it! He helped out tremendously when the aspiration wanted Ruby in an apartment worth 100,000 simoleons. 

Ruby also picked up some more programming skill to compete in the GeekCon Hackathon. She went a total of 3 times. We really had to extend the time in the city, since the second GeekCon got rained on, destroying the computers. You can see the rain didn’t damper the Roccas’ romantic spirit, though. ;) 50-mile high club!

I also converted the rooftop bar at the Uptown gym into a little spa. Ruby got some face masks, a pedicure, and both she and Paolo got massages! 

TBH, that was my first time using the Spa Day gameplay items. It was exciting. 

It was a long aspiration to complete because of weather, and there was hardly any walking room when we finally filled the apartment with enough valuables to make it worth 100k, but boy, was it fun!

What adventures await our lovely couple?

The challenge gives the following options: GlimmerbrookorForgotten Hollow.
