Been remodeling Bridgeport and made a fancy loft that replaces The Tidewater. It's got spectacular views in all directions (though perhaps invest in some quality noise-canceling headphones for bridge traffic).

-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?-

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.
