==> Wake up, mister hero.

-Good morning, Nic. I see you’re ready to start!-

“I don’t think I am. Nope, definitely not. What if they think I’m boring, or too focused on Parallax, what if they all just decide to go home? They’re all going to hate me!”

-Don’t you think you’re being a little dramatic?-

“Am I though? … Okay, yeah, maybe a bit. Get it together, Nic. They all signed up to meet you. You’ve got this.”

-Are you quite done?-

Noelle Farrington for @heavensims​ HSBC2

- Is this thing on? Ok, it says “recording”... Hi, I’m Noelle and I want to submit my application to be your eh... well, I mean, I saw the ad for your girlfriend search thing, and I’d like to meet you. If you’d like to, of course. I apologize, my people skills are a bit rusty, it seems. To be honest, I haven’t been interacting with others all that much in the past two years. There’s kind of a funny story there, actually... coughs...but anyways! Yeah,  paint. A lot, as you can see. This one isn’t finished yet, so sorry about the mess. This was kind of a last minute decision and I probably should’ve cleaned up here a bit, hmm. Anyways, I’m 29, single, obsessed with art, according to everyone... I don’t usually join things like bachelorette challenges, but I saw your advertisement and something just resonated, you know. I sort of know what it’s like when the things we love come between us and the people we love.

Daniel Seymour for @heavensims Bachelorette Challenge

Tell us a little bit about yourself!

Hello! I’m Dan, I’m 24 and I live with my lab, Butter, and work with my mother. She has an Art school and I help her with management. The school was her project and she made it happen almost single-handedly, so I’m proud of the fact I contribute to its story and help to make a legacy out of my family’s hard work. I’m passionate about enjoying my days to the best, and spending my free hours outdoors is probably the easiest way to take care of my body and mind: I enjoy running (so does Butter), yoga and country walks when I can. Music is also one of my passions - I’m a prog rock nerd and sometimes play with friends. That’s another way of keeping my sanity and enjoying moments. That’s the kind of music that makes me feel out of this world, in my own peaceful place. I consider myself pretty chill, quick to forgive and open to talks. I know I can also be stubborn and demanding when I put my mind on to something.

Why did you join the Bachelorette Challenge?

Brandon Lorenzo for @heavensims' Bachelorette Challenge

After his parents died in an sea related incident when he was still a toddler, Brandon was raised by his grandfather who was a proud angler. He was already taught fishing at the age of six, and little by little his grandfather passed on all the secrets of fishing and life skills he knew until the time of his passing. Growing up Brandon never did fear or hate the sea, but reminded him that it was the reason his family, and now he alone, have the means to live. Brandon's interest not only in fishes, but also sea creatures, developed in his high school biology classes in which he decided: he will become a Marine Biologist someday.

Brandon is a fast learner, after all he was taught very young. He is adequately skilled in fishing, but is still learning and discovering new techniques enhancing his grandfather's old ones. He also loves cooking, with seafood recipes as his obvious specialty, and a little bit of handiness that he is willing to hone more. Most of the fishes he caught are sold to a local supermarket in Sunset Valley which is generous enough to provide him stable income, a part of it he is saving for college to pursue his dream job.

Brandon never really bothered dating before because he was used to being alone, although he likes being outdoors and doesn't actually mind meeting and talking to people. And now he is turning 25 he is now open to committing to a relationship "if the right person comes", that he always says whenever some friends tease him about marrying. He is hopeful of Nic being the "one" for him, and finally get her on his first try who knows?

Nicola ‘Nic’ Yeung was raised in the heart of Roaring Heights by two successful parents. She “didn’t apply herself” in school, instead choosing to spend her time immersed in fantasies of her own making, scraping by with only passable grades. While working as a barista after graduating high school, Nic began posting her stories online, eventually teaching herself basic programming skills to develop text-based adventure games and branching out into modding best-selling games to add new quests.

It was in one of her online forums that she met Max, another avid modder who endorsed her quest mods and offered his help programming and animating future ideas she might have. The two hit it off and began creating bigger and more complex mods for their favorite games until they finally decided to meet IRL. Nic and Max dated for the next 3 years, during which they formed their own small indie company, Shadoware Studios. Their debut title, Parallax, won Best Debut Indie Game. Nic was only 25 at the time. The much anticipated sequel, Parallax II: Call of Thoggus is set to release next year.

Though she hates crowds and being the center of attention, Nic is easily in her element when advocating for her game and characters. She’s truly passionate about what she does (she’s loathe to call it “work”) and will fight tooth and nail for her studio. Nic longs to find someone who understands and accepts her passion, but someone who can also be a balancing force in her life. Max cares just as deeply for Shadoware and, ultimately, the two never made time for each other outside of work. When it became clear it was either their relationship or Shadoware, both equally and unequivocally made the choice to pick their true love over each other. Nic needs someone who can understand this and not be threatened by her devotion to Shadoware (and her close relationship with an ex), but who also encourages and entices her to live outside her fantasy realm. 

Nic rarely makes time for her personal life outside of work and has thus decided to become the next bachelorette in the hopes that the producers can help her meet her match.

Rules:

12 spots available!

Male and female sims.

Vanilla only. I'm too boring for berry.

No supernatural/occult sims.

CC is acceptable but I do ask that you use it discerningly, rather than just for the sake of using CC.

If you do use CC, it must be linked and/or included.

I'll be using my default eye and skin replacements, found in my FAQ, so if your sim uses something different, please use non-default.

.sim files only. I don't install anything through the launcher.

I have all EPs and every SP except Movie Stuff.

The sooner I can get this going, the better! That said, I’d like to put a hard deadline of February 4th on receiving all sims.

Each sim should have a small, accompanying bio please! I'll need a good feel for each contestant as the challenge will be told in a narrative style. I will also be sending questionnaires for confessionals, like with Jesse’s BC. Participation is optional.

Your sim may have 5 total skillpoints. You may include which skillpoints you’d like in either the bio or a private .txt in the download and I will make sure to assign them with master controller at the start of the save.
