information 💜 form 💜 rolls 💜 lilac bio 💜 previous misadventures
A group of singles find their way to the promised vacation of a lifetime: an all-expenses-paid stay in an exclusive country homestead and the chance of finding love with a ‘beguiling’ bachelorette.
Well, after a shower, that is...
The part about the exclusive country homestead? True, all true. However what was mentioned only in the fine print is that this lot has the simple living trait - no butlers or caterers anywhere in sight. Apart from a trip to the grocery stall at the beginning of each household’s rotation, everything they need to survive, they will have to forage, grow or catch.
In addition to this, all existing skills will be set to level one* once the real game begins. The premise is that our contestants will be somewhat unprepared for this life off the land, and let’s be real, it’s just more fun to watch low skill Sims fumble their way into competence than how overpowered my legacy heirs usually are once they hit adulthood.
*The one exception is vampires, who can have some level of Vampire Lore skill. This score will be subtracted from their total at the end of each round - ie. if they are a 10 in Vampire Lore, ten points will be removed from their final score. Conversely, vampires will also be shut in their coffins for a few hours per day/night. This is so that their lack of need to sleep doesn’t give them an advantage when it comes to skill building.
As occult tiers do not count towards skills, an occult Sim can be at any level that you like. I would recommend however that werewolves at least achieve transformation mastery for the fun element of it all. And while the Watcher will do her best to keep any vampires in sunlight resistance cocktails, it may be worth giving them the Daywalker trait a la Caleb Vatore, which I believe you can cheat regardless of occult level.
So, will your sim thrive, or merely survive? Submit and tune in to find out...
See you there! MAX OF 18 CONTESTANTS.

Name: Piper O'Donovan
Age Group: Young Adult
Orientation: Confusion. She/They
Hometown: City native, recently re-located to Mt. Komorebi.
Occupation: World-renowned gardener for vampires
Traits: Bro, Loves the Outdoors, and Unflirty
Aspiration: Nature
Likes: Anything outdoorsey, really
Dislikes: Anything you have to sit down and focus to do, and cooking.
Gifts: Holly, blue milk, and eggplant (literal)
Misc: Likes dirt.
Other: No CC whatsoever. In desperate need of better party/formal attire (note: they will be covered in mud eventually)
In Depth: Piper's love for gardening first blossomed when they came across their grandmother's rooftop garden. She didn't realise that some plants came from her grandmother's homeworld, nor did she care. It's all about getting covered in dirt babyyyy
Piper's father took her on a fishing trip one time because he wanted to explore the city, and accidentally got his girl utterly obsessed with it. Yeah, it was pretty clear Piper wasn't cut out for city life at all.
The first thing Piper did when they moved out was get her very own garden! Full of only the weirdest and wildest. Had the watcher placed a bed in there, Piper would never ever leave.
But leave they did! To explore new worlds! Gain new skills! Make every day an adventure! End up on their Watcher's banner image thing!
But none of that backstory or skill building matters anymore, after a tragic skiing accident knocked Piper out, depriving them of her memories. She doesn't even remember how to garden! I bet they probably think they just sprouted up from the earth themself.
Will this unflirty gremlin manage to flourish in her new surroundings? Is this reset exactly what they needed to figure out how to love? I guess we'll find out!
Another thing she doesn't know is her sister Sereia already failed at @samssims bachelorette challenge due to being too ace for Mildred! So there's the double bonus of seeing if the lack of love runs in the family!
Oh, and she's a mermaid. So she might water herself along with the plants.
Expect chaos.
Watcher
Are you comfortable with your pixel person:
Flirting with other contestants? (The bachelorette will have the ‘player’ trait cheated and her boundaries set to no jealousy, so it will not impact your sim’s relationship with her.)
WooHooing other contestants?
Flirting with/and or woohooing NPCs?
Flirting with the host?
Changes to traits via gameplay prompts? (ie. Evil to Good, depending on what your Sim does, or adding traits)
(Humans Only) Becoming an occult?
(Werewolves Only) The Fated Mate mechanic? (If a werewolf ends up winning the challenge, I will cheat out that sentiment)
@ethicaltreatmentofcowplants If any of these happen I will be delighted
I will be announcing a bachelorette sometime during the second week of October!
(No, Araminta will neither be starring nor competing - but she will be hosting 😉)
While I very much doubt that there will be a need for this (I'll be grateful if I have enough pixels to launch the competition at all, being only a smol simblr), if you want to compete but may not be around at this time, let me know and I'll reserve you a spot. Young Adult preferred, any gender and orientation (so long as women are at least one of their preferences) welcome. Occults, minus our friends from Sixam, are also fine.
NB: While all cc used is gorgeous separately and well made (much love to the creators), Araminta would like the Watcher to share that most of her outfits were contractually mandated. Also no pixel butterflies were harmed during the making of this graphic...
ARAMINTA: A Henford Hello to you all, and welcome to-
LILAC: The plum are you wearing? HAHAHAHA
ARAMINTA: We are here with our bachelorette, who many have described as ‘sophisticated’ and ‘cultured’...
LILAC: You going to milk the cows for us today, Pippi Longstocking?
ARAMINTA: No, but I’m here to explain how the second round will work. And to offer an apology on behalf of production for putting you in a position where you suffered verbal abuse from a - now happily - former contestant.
LILAC: Verbal abuse? More like ‘verbal wet tissue’ for all the shots he was able to land. And pfft, you guys are fine. You had Lou on standby and I could have got him involved earlier - I just chose not to.
ARAMINTA: Still, I wish-
LILAC: Oh no, don’t you be sorry. It just made me even more sure that I’d made the right choice. He thought that he was the [beep] but he wasn’t even the fart. Anyway, what you got for me today, Bo Peep?
ARAMINTA: Firstly, an announcement of what Lilac was informed after Round One, but during this rotation each household will only have three days, not four. The extra day between rounds will be used to run competitions for who goes on solo dates with Lilac, and to give her some downtime.
LILAC: Dodo and I are going to be hitting up those spas, for sure.
ARAMINTA: He’s really looking forward to a manicure. While points will be weighted much the same as they were during Round One, compatibility will be worth more this time. Five points for ‘good compatibility’ and ten for ‘amazing.’
LILAC: Cool-cool.
ARAMINTA: Also since First Impressions have by now faded, while positive sentiments will still be worth five points each, for the first time sims can lose points through negative sentiments. If you, for example, had a ‘festering grudge’ sentiment towards me, then I would lose five points from my total score.
LILAC: Gotcha. So to recap: points can be gained - or lost - through friendship, romance, skill total, attraction levels, compatibility and sentiments.
ARAMINTA: Correct. This round there will also be a second lot challenge: wild foxes.
LILAC: Bwahahahahaha Lou is going to have a great time.
ARAMINTA: Actually, he wants to become a vegetarian.
LILAC: Mister ‘Raw Steak Sandwiches Are Our National Dish’? Ha.
ARAMINTA: The final change that I want to discuss is how the table will work this time. Rather than picking a bottom three, or whatever the number would have been, we will be working through data clusters.
LILAC: Through what now?
ARAMINTA: Take last round’s table, for example. You’ll notice that there’s a gap between Forest’s score - and Jayla’s.
LILAC: Well I don’t notice. But I assume that you’ll have it onscreen for the good people at home.
ARAMINTA: Yes. Say if last round, we had sent the bottom five home instead of the bottom three. That would have been quite hard on Jayla, who was only one point below Avery and a reasonable amount above the rest of the bottom five. By making the decision according to cluster, however, we would decide that Jayla has been high enough scoring to stay, but that Forest would still go home.
LILAC: And happy days for you, I guess. Don’t worry - he knows that he has a fire under his butt for this time [winks]
ARAMINTA: Likewise say Avery and Jayla had lower scores, making the clusters different, there would have been six going home last round, and not three.
LILAC: Makes sense to me. Or at least that’s what I would say if I could see that invisible board you’re pointing at.
ARAMINTA: It’s to lessen the possibility of forcing you to send home someone who has genuine potential with you. Now, we have some viewer submitted questions.
LILAC: Oh goody.
ARAMINTA: The first one is for me, from @changingplumbob. Do you see the footage or just get recaps from Lilac? Well, I have behind the scenes access, but as I’m not onsite during filming, we don’t communicate apart from what you see. So I stay informed through work, and I receive an overview of the previous night when I arrive the next morning.
LILAC: Probably for the best. I’d just whine at you if you ever showed up during the household rounds.
ARAMINTA: Next one is for Lilac, from @riverofjazzsims. If…. ‘Daddy Vladdy’ ever showed up on the farm, would that be it for the competition?
LILAC: [bursts into laughter]
LILAC: Oh wait, that was serious. Well ‘Vladdy’ was one of my Asylum challenge housemates, so we go back. He’s fond of me, in his way. Early on he bit Ted Roswell, so since he got a POSSESSED top up every night, he didn’t need to drink from the rest of us all that often.
ARAMINTA: I just… you say that all so casually-
LILAC: Well when you get used to something, it becomes your normal, right? Also Rory kicked his butt and established dominance early on, so he was on good behaviour.
ARAMINTA: I will take your word for it! Next question is from @abbysimsfun - what’s been the most surprising thing about this experience so far?
LILAC: Huh, I’d say that I wasn’t expecting to feel as overwhelmed as I did during Household Two. I’m not an idiot. I knew ‘okay okay, I can only pick one person when I’d potentially be happy with more than one and make choices that will be directly responsible for another person’s happiness,’ but that was when it really sank in. And I just wanted to be by myself - or alone with a very good friend who has no expectations of me - but I was stuck in the middle of this household with six other people who I had to socialise with and give my best possible chance to. Avery and Caden probably caught the worst of it. They were both really understanding but I do feel kind of crummy about it, and I’m glad they’re both returning.
ARAMINTA: They seem like good people. And don’t worry about having moments when you’re not at your best. Those are important to show and share if you’re to be a couple?
LILAC: Yeah, I’m sure that you could speak to that better than me, Ms. Deserted Island. Though I have trouble imagining you doing anything other than constructing dental floss out of palm tree fibre and just keeping yourself poised and elegant at all times.
ARAMINTA: [dryly] As you saw, that very much did not happen.
LILAC: I bet even your stink fumes smelled like laven - oh hey, Do-dud.
DODO: Are you going to let her talk to me like that?
ARAMINTA: It’s Mister Do-dud, actually.
DODO: Thank you. Best of luck, Slacker.
LILAC: Later, Slob. And Heidi.
post credits
LILAC: She’s equipped with a microphone so the entire studio can hear your ‘suggestive whispers,’ you know…
LILAC: Welcome to the second edition of gardenside chats, where we are explaining how the introductory round works. Araminta, how does it work?
ARAMINTA: Firstly the good news, no one is going home at the end of this! This is purely a chance to get to know each contestant. Everyone will have three in-game hours on a lot together with Lilac and me, and after a FRIENDLY INTRODUCTION from both of us, full autonomy will be active.
LILAC: Full autonomy, huh?
ARAMINTA: Yes. They won’t be able to leave the lot until the time period has concluded, but that will be it.
LILAC: So how is this going to work?
ARAMINTA: Well with us to demonstrate, we have local business owner Sara Scott! Sara - hi!
SARA: Hi! What’s this First Impressions thing all about?
ARAMINTA: First Impressions is a mod by Lumpinou and we’ll be using the timed decay version, since first impressions do fade. Now with your permission the Watcher is going to delete your relationship bar with both me and Lilac - don’t worry, she’ll restore it back to our previous levels - to demonstrate.
SARA: Will it hurt?
ARAMINTA: Oh no! You'll be fine.
LILAC: And while Araminta does have the POLITE INTRODUCTION interaction unlocked through her GOOD MANNERS trait, we’ll be using the FRIENDLY INTRODUCTION for everyone - for fairness and because the POLITE INTRODUCTION can be overpowered.
ARAMINTA: Lilac, you’re up first.
LILAC: Okay, so Sarah and I both have AMAZING COMPATIBILITY - nice to keep the local bartender on your good side. I thought that she was an interesting sim-
SARA: Why, thank you!
LILAC: -while she thought that I was a nature maniac, which is a negative sentiment. Boooo!
SARA: I’m so sorry!
LILAC: You’re fine, I’m just messing with you. Now with Araminta you also have AMAZING COMPATIBILITY, she thinks that you’re fun to be around, and you think that she’s strong-minded.
ARAMINTA: Really? That surprised me.
SARA: Well you did go off and compete on that deserted island. And you need a lot of discipline in equestrian sports. Lilac, I really have no idea why I thought that your FREEGAN trait was a bad thing - I did move out to the countryside after all!
LILAC: And none of your traits seem to conflict with it. Minta, say if we had BAD COMPATIBILITY, a negative first impression each and Sara was madly in love with me…
SARA: Then I’d have to talk to my husband.
LILAC: … would that be the end of the line for Sara?
ARAMINTA: Well, no. First impressions are just that - initial impressions. Tempest initially thought that Dodo was annoying and they had NEUTRAL COMPATIBILITY, and she ended up being one of the strongest contestants.
LILAC: Likewise he thought that Lucian was in dreamland and I think we were all in love with him a little by the end of the show. 'In dreamland,' you could say.
ARAMINTA: Truly one of the most genuine and kind pixels I’ve ever had the good fortune to meet.
ARAMINTA: Also since traits like GOOD versus EVIL and ACTIVE versus LAZY appear to be weighted the same by the gameplay mechanics - even though to me the second one is purely a lifestyle choice rather than a morality issue - you can get someone like Daisy Darling. Who for example had positive relationships with most of her housemates, but BAD COMPATIBILITY due to what I assume was her LAZY trait clashing with the amount of ACTIVE and LOVES OUTDOORS types that the competition naturally drew.
LILAC: Yes but because she wasn’t a MEAN or EVIL Sim, she managed to get those relationships no problem. So what Minta’s saying is that if you get a good score from the introductory round, cool. But don’t count yourself out if you don’t. So, looking at our friend Sara. If she were a contestant on Simply Lilac, what would her introductory round scores be?
ARAMINTA: Well friendship with you is 40, no romance bar, six points for AMAZING COMPATIBILITY, and another five for one positive first impressions sentiment. So all together, 51 points.
LILAC: And you?
ARAMINTA: 28 points, no romance bar, add another six for AMAZING COMPATIBILITY, and 10 points in total for each positive sentiment. Which brings us to 44 points!
LILAC: Ladies and gentlefolks, do we already have a contender?
SARA: (chuckles) Scott may have something to say about that! Oh, obviously Lilac is the priority here, but any bonuses at all for a high score with you, Minta?
ARAMINTA: The contestants who I have the highest level of friendship with, will get a small bonus at the end of the round. Not in terms of spending more time with Lilac, since our friendship has nothing to do with their relationship with her. But it will definitely give them a slight advantage in terms of the rest of the competition.
SARA: I can’t wait to learn more. Also Minta, do bring that Tarzan of yours down to the village square sometime, will you? It’s a rite of passage for all the new swains to get acquainted with Agnes’ purse.
LILAC: Oh, I can’t wait for this…
ARAMINTA: Poor Dodo (chuckles, then checks notes). Now for woo-hoo…
LILAC: Yes.
ARAMINTA: During this introductory round, the Watcher will be cancelling all ‘Ask For Sex’ interactions-
LILAC: No!
ARAMINTA: Her reasoning is that Wicked Whims seems to go a little insane during the initial days of gameplay-
LILAC: Like when you booty call the bachelor’s identical twin
ARAMINTA: -by mistake. And so she’s giving it time to settle. However, each ‘ask for sex’ interaction will also gain an additional five points. This will be the only time that woo-hoo counts for points, as it will be allowed for the rest of gameplay, and friendship and romance increase naturally through that interaction.
LILAC: (drily) Unless it’s bad woo-hoo. What if the ‘ask for sex’ interaction is directed at you?
ARAMINTA: No points lost nor gained. Likewise denied - and hopefully Dodo is not nearby.
LILAC: Yeah, starting the competition with a black eye will probably not make a great first impression. So there we have it. Everyone, see you next time where hopefully the Watcher wasn't a total flake and managed to fill out that First Impressions post!
hope your sims' ears weren't burning too much: @panicsimss @jonquilyst and @mdshh. lot by @ariafaeyt. dodo harper by @akitasimblr
[post credits scene]
LILAC: Now, is there any of that 'grape juice' left? Also Watcher, what is this shit? Are we Marvel Studios? Is Stan Lee going to make a cameo...

Each lot will start with a variety of fully grown crops, both seasonal and not, two chickens, a cow, a mini goat and a sheep. As well as a small pond on the lot, there is a fishing spot within easy walking distance.
There will also be plasma trees on hand for any vampires.
Lot traits will be set to private, with additional to be temporarily added according to rolls. It has the permanent challenge of simple living. Again additional challenges may be added according to rolls.
At around noon each day, the Watcher will assign each Sim a skill building task. Cooking and Gardening are the two that Sims will likely level up the fastest in, as they are more time consuming than most others, so the Watcher will keep a roster and make sure that these tasks aren’t repeated per sim in each round. Allowing for possible glitching, I will instruct a Sim to do a task twice: any more nagging from me and they will have the day off skillbuilding - and thus lose the opportunity to earn some points.
As per rolls and rewards, additional skill building items may be unlocked.
Each day I will make the bachelorette perform roughly two interactions per contestant, ie. two friendly, one friendly and one funny, or two flirty. Other than that, I will allow the Sims complete autonomy. Everything else is down to them. Apart from doing my best to ensure that the contestants are fed and watered, I will only be controlling the bachelorette.
Other than that, I will be using the club function from Get Together. One will be the ‘self-care’ club (sleep, clean & repair objects) activated at night, while the other will be the ‘social’ club - mainly so I can keep contestants in one spot when we travel off-site.
At the end of each round, the contestants with the lowest total points will go on a speed date with the bachelorette to see if they deserve a second chance. Eliminations will occur once all households have been played. The amount of contestants eliminated will depend on how many applications I get (max contestants is 18).
Mods Etc
UI Cheats, Wicked Whims and First Impressions mods will be active, in addition to a few smaller quality-of-life mods that limit Sims getting sick and reduce the amount of phone use and doom scrolling. No explicit Whims animations will be shown; pregnancy, STDs, menstruation and peeping toms etc will be toggled off. Whims is purely present for more dynamic gameplay and fun, not the significantly less fun real life stuff.
To be extra sure there are no mini contestants running around, your Sims will receive a completely painless and easily reversible ‘surgical’ snip in my CAS (ie. I'll be deselecting 'can get pregnant/get other sims pregnant' where applicable).
If the ‘ask for sex’ interaction is accepted, I won’t give the participants the ‘make happy’ cheat, but I will use UI cheats to temporarily nudge all their ‘needs’ bars into the green, particularly hygiene and bladder. This is just so I don’t feel bad for pixel people woo-hooing while they’re miserable. Also if it is ‘bad woohoo,’ then they only have themselves to blame, mwuhahaha 😈
The option to request to join existing sex acts will also be toggled off.
When you don't have an original thought in your brain, what else is there to do but steal? 😉 Thus on the days that each household remains onsite, I am grabbing the idea of @akitasimblr's and doing a daily roll of the (virtual) dice in order to determine everyone's fate.
[2] Today is New Skill Day - for one of your Sims, at least. Everyone will receive the 'make happy' cheat, and one lucky sim will be given a skill building item of the Watcher’s choice that goes in their inventory. A new skill building item will also be added to the lot.
[3] Let’s celebrate Rebate Day! One new skill building item and one new livestock animal of the Watcher’s choice will be added to the lot.
[4] Love wins - well, Love Day at least. The Sim with the highest level of friendship (with little to no romance) will go on a short date with the bachelorette. To make up for the time spent offsite, the remaining contestants will also gain one point towards their current highest skill. Finally, the main dwelling will receive the ‘romantic aura’ trait for the next 24 hours.
[5] Today is New Year’s Eve - in our hearts if not on the actual calendar. A bar, a stereo and a keg will be added to the lot, and after chore time, everyone will receive the ‘make happy’ cheat (all the better to see it through until midnight, my dears…). The lot will also be given the ‘party place’ trait.
[6] Yes, this one is from an earlier edition of the Sims, but it’s too good to pass up. Today is Goosebumps Day! There will be candy, costumes, music and dancing. There will be an evil rooster or hen joining our ranks. There will also be the haunted lot trait. Oh, and with the ‘vampire nexus’ trait added, Vlad may pay us a visit. Watch out for things that go bump in the night…
[7] Arr! It’s Talk Like A Pirate day - and what do pirates do? Steal. Yep, one comfort item and one animal will go missing, ne’er to return (for the rest of the round at least). On the plus side, the lot will be given the ‘cat hangout’ trait for the day, as our feline friends are an essential to have on the high seas.
[8] Geek Con is on! And no, while we’re all still stuck on site, several themed skill building items (a chess set etc) will be added to the lot. Each housemate will also temporarily be cheated the ‘focused’ moodlet.
[9] Oh no - it’s Neighbourhood Brawl, and time to watch out for those flying handbags. The lot will be given the ‘mean vibe’ trait for the next 24 hours, and another lot challenge that the Watcher will roll for. To boost the mood, we'll also have some very special eggs...
[10] Night On The Town means that for ten in-game hours, the entire household travels offsite to a venue with both a bar, food spreads cheated by the Watcher, and several freely accessible skill building items present. The ‘convivial’ trait will be active on the lot.
[11] Winterfest can truly happen at any time of the year, and it is happening today. Each contestant will be given a secret giftee! Additionally the 'convivial' trait will be added to the lot, and a special someone will make an appearance.
[12] Once again harkening back to the Sims 3, today we are celebrating Leisure Day. The contestants will have a break from chores and instead receive one point towards their current highest skill. We will also receive a golden hen or rooster to help us out with the gardening, and the ‘clothing optional’ trait.
Realized part of the reason why I'm so tired is that I have a cold again lol. I couldn't sleep at all last night because my throat was sore and my temperature fluctuating. But my mood is still good.
With the amount of interest in the bachelorette (nine people I think have pre-held so far and I'm capping spaces at 18), I was going to push the official announcement forward a few days since I don't want people to think I'm being suss in not revealing the bachelorette's identity lol. I just wanted to give that option for people who'd be away and honestly thought I'd get one or two at most holding in advance, and have been pleasantly surprised by the interest. But with this cold I'll likely have to stick to my original plan of the day after Mad About Dodo wraps because I doubt I'll be able to prepare anything earlier.
So yeah, sorry if the whole thing seemed sketchy. Simply because of the amount of people who have pre-held, I'll reveal the bachelorette's identity now, though I'll keep the official announcement and concept for the planned time since I'm not well enough to get the prep done earlier.
It's Lilac Moon. I'm still posting for gameplay but I have finished that save, so her current aspiration is complete.
