Iza has been working on getting back out there since her last heartbreak. She's gone on a handful of unsuccessful Monday night dates from SimDa. But that all changed when she went out with Akira.

They hit it off pretty well, and spent most of the night cozy and tipsy by the bonfire sharing life stories and getting to know one another.

It went so well that she even kissed Akira while exchanging numbers. The next morning, Akira texted Iza asking for another date.

She said yes, of course. She's never felt this pulled to someone in her life. Since their first date, they've gone out biweekly. They've gone to fancy sit-down dinners, cozy movie viewings, and fun trips to the arcade. As the month progressed, their friendship started to grow right along with the attraction.

In between carting Erik to school and building her relationship with Akira, Iza has been working hard at the firm. Green Pines Land and Conservation Management even promoted her.

Now that she is an equal among her peers, she feels less like a desk jockey and more like a real legal professional.

Make no mistake, relaxation is something Iza is trying to get back to now that her schedule is getting more...filled up. While she does feel fulfilled, fulfillment comes with a hefty price tag: sleepiness.

When she is with Akira though, she feels recharged. She takes on world better, and she feels more like herself than ever before. On a casual date to a local comfort food restaurant, she just straight up asked Akira if he felt the same and if he would commit to an exclusive relationship with her. It came as no shock to her that he was ready for that next step and wanted to be apart of her future.

This is the floor plan. I have not included screenshots of the bathroom because its literally so boring, but everything else is included!

After discovering her high school sweetheart Deacon was cheating on her with her friend Sabrina--Izabella decided a *BIG* change was in order.

She left behind her student housing complex filled with her lifelong pals, dropped out of Tri-Fruhm, and moved to Tomarang on a student exchange program to finish up the last year of her degree. But not without making a stop home first to pick up her cat Monty and her toddler brother Erik (and a bottle of black hair dye).

Over that last year, Iza proved herself on her school's soccer team while remaining dedicated to her law studies. She also has remained steadfast in her decision to distance herself from her mother too. She has only seen her once in the last year, that being during Winterfest when her parents came to Tomarang to celebrate and see how much Erik has grown.

And while she was so focused on getting her school work done, Erik aged up into a child. On a sadder note, he has more memories of Iza and his nanny than his own father and mother. He knows very little about his parents due the distance and the lack of calls because of their busy work schedules as higher-ups in politics and crime. He prefers his older sis Iza anyway. But Izabella is taking great care to make sure he feels loved even if she has a rocky relationship with their parents.

Iza has just completed her degree in Language and Literature with Honors from Ubrite, and has just begun her role as a litigator for a firm located in Evergreen Harbor--worlds away from Tomarang and Ubrite. While she was moving back into Simmerica, she made a stop in San Myshuno for a week long vacation and ran into a former soccer teammate, Lilah MacDonald.

Lilah was NOT shocked to find out that the reason Iza had even left Ubrite on a study abroad program was because of Sabrina and Deacon. She invited her out to a tiny karaoke bar nearby her family's apartment to explain everything. While Lilah's parents watched Erik for a small sum, the two former teammates spent the night talking about the drama in their circles that had happened during her year in Tomarang.

Apart from Deacon and Sabrina actively betraying Iza, the pair had convinced a majority of the old friend group that it was Izabella that was lying about the timeframe between her finding out about the cheating and the breakup. However, Lilah knew through a freshman on the team that Deacon had been seen kissing Sabrina on campus long before the pre-finals final bash party Iza, Lottie, and Rowan (Sabrina's brother), had thrown at the apartment complex that lead to the cheating being discovered.

Lilah sent video proof of them kissing in the old party group chat while Izabella was MIA. Knowing that she had removed herself from the group that night, Iza had no idea anyone was defending her. With that cleared up, Iza was now aware of why most of her old friend group had stopped talking to her and why they all stopped following each other online.

I'm most likely going to have to restart my Alvania Falls save due to unforeseen file corruption pertaining to Srsly's blank save. I've recently re-opened the file after not touching it for a few months. I'm trying to download as many lots as possible, but the save file is prone to crashing.

This is Izabella Gratz, my current legacy sim!! I just needed to share her because she's simply my favorite sim I've ever played thus far. She just recently graduated high school and is currently on summer break! She starts at UBrite in the fall.
