Leod McGreggor: Adult Male | Fortune/Popularity | LTW: Become Business Tycoon | First Wishes: Obtain a Pet, Earn $100 (Locked), Earn Some Money, Be BFF with Gabe (O'Mackey) | First Fulfilled: Earn Some Money
---------------------------------------------------
Leod lives on a nice farm with an orchard of trees and places to grow food, but really all he wants, in the beginning, is a little bit of money and a lot of friends. He would like to be a business tycoon but does not yet have a job. We will see if he wishes for one. To start off though, he wanted money. Since he is a fortune sim first and foremost he can give financial counseling for money, so he does.
The wish for a pet left, but he wants to meet people and make friends, so we decide the best way to do that is to take him to community lots. Maybe he'll even meet someone he is attracted to so if he begins to wish for those things this season we have someone to call. To start we take Leod to the pet shop, thinking perhaps the wish for a pet will come back.
It doesn't, but he does meet Tara Kat, but I think they only have a single bolt of attraction. Plus, I really liked her for.....Cyd Roseland...maybe, if he wishes for her. Anyway, no wishes for pets anymore so we moved Leod to a new community lot.
At the park, he met Jill Smith. She is a couple of bolts hot I believe, but he doesn't have any major wishes for her. He looked around a bit more, chatted with a couple of people and threw a new wish for a pet. Sorry, Leod, you were just at a pet shop and we are on a quest to have you meet as many of the playable women as you can so we can hopefully find someone you might connect with when those wishes start to show up. So we take him to one more community lot.
Here he meets not only Priya Ramaswami but also Hannah Bell. Both of them are attached and not more than a single bolt anyway and Leod is now tired, hungry, needing a bathroom and a shower soon so we decided to send him home. The next day....or maybe it was later this first day we get the welcome wagon, which is made up of two very pregnant ladies and....I cannot remember who he is.
I saw something I have never seen before. Mrs. Roth went straight out onto the deck and started a painting on his easel. I haven't ever seen a guest start painting before today. My guess is this might be a part of the community skilling, but I have used it for a while and still haven't seen it, so I'm not sure.
Cleo Shibiku walked by and was greeted and joined in with the rest of the group. Leod's popularity time is very happy with having all of these people around to work on making friends with. Cleo is a 2-bolter, but we really like her for Andrew Martin more than likely....or no, sorry, John Mole.
I believe he might have also thrown a party right around this time. Then, of course, he was invited out for an outing downtown. This is a common experience we have discovered, that a "new" house is always invited out. The headed out to a slightly different place then I've been before. It was less a group outing and just an outing for 2 as it was just this guy out with Leod.
They took some time out to visit with others in the hot tub, and Leod met as many playables as he could while there. It was a basic outing, no rating or anything, so they were able to just do whatever.
We then see a fight starting to form over in another area of the lot. We notice that it's Mr. Curious, and I'm not sure who he was fighting. I'm not even sure who won as Leod was headed home before it was finished.
When he got home everyone was still over and left in a good mood shortly after. Leod had gone to bed. The next day he woke up wanting to make friends with some of his new acquaintances. He spent a good portion of the morning on the phone.
After he made some friends and hung up the phone, but it instantly started ringing. Since one of our rules says we try to always answer any phone call and accept any offer, we tell Leod to pick it up. It was the same guy as before asking us on another outing, so out we head.
While there we see Cleo Shibiku is there and greeting someone she might not want to fully get involved with if she doesn't want to be loved and left. Maybe she would be ok with it though. Either way simmers will recognize this face easily.
While he was there we see Brandi Brooke walking by and Leod heads over to greet her. Having a husband ready for Brandi would sure make the beginning of her time with us easier, but they only have a single bolt, and he doesn't appear to throw any wishes for her. He also greeted Mary Sue Pleasant, which could make for an interesting turn depending on how her house goes.
After another large snowstorm hit we see the penguin show up and make it's way to the back of the house. I have never used the scarecrow and had no idea that the penguin would come talk to him. Turns out, he will.
So far most of the two-bolt romantic interests for Leod have been married, and while that doesn't, necessarily, mean anything specifically for Sims, unless it's wished for we won't take that direction. Here is Mrs. Contrary, I believe, hanging out talking with Leod, but there is nothing happening here.
Then Leod threw a sudden wish to earn a skill point. Hoping this will lead us down the road of wanting to get a job we have him go earn a charisma skill at the mirror.
Sadly this does not lead into any more wishes for skills or a job. Instead, we are back to wanting to gain friends with different people, best friends with people in general, and even reach a certain number of BFF's. So we start talking on the phone again,
One of the people we didn't see Leod meeting recently was Erin Singles or Beaker I believe. Erin is actually a two-bolt attraction, and Leod had gotten up to a high friendship with her. So when he threw a wish to ask a sim on a date, he called up Erin. Sadly, he apparently took to long to get into the cab and while they arrived together at the same place, they were not on a date. Still, they did things together to rebuild up the relationship on her end.
The next day Leod wished to flirt with someone, and be flirted with. So we invited Erin over. They still needed some work on their relationship, but by the evening they were much better friends again and she accepted a flirt.
The next day we were back to wanting to flirt and ask someone out on a date. As soon as he called Erin up he always threw a wish to kiss someone. We locked it in before the date started, and he got the first kiss fairly early on.
Then Leod threw a traditional wish for popularity sims, even secondary pop sims, and wants to throw a party. So he invites everyone on the top of his list and easily gets wishes in for the day.
During the party Leod wants to pillow fight with a sim. Luckily Erin is still on the lot and so they head out to the yard and have a fun time playing with each other.
He then wants to flirt again and after some time with Erin again we find love...at least on Leod's end. I don't believe Erin is yet in love with Leod, but that's ok. It will be interesting to see how she wishes when we get to her.
After this nice turn of events for us, Leod once again wishes to throw a party. So we invite all the current top friends, or almost friends, for Leod. This now includes Dina Caliente. We had Leod great Dina just in case, but they don't feel anything for each other, but do get along. We also see Mrs. Roth is finishing up the painting she started before.
On one of the final days of the season Leod threw a wish to woohoo. This is a wish we try and acheive so we invite over Erin. She asks to bring over a friend as well and we say ok. Once she arrives we ask her on date, which he also wished for.
After some dancing, flirting, kissing, etc, we realize Leod doesn't own a double bed. So after a quick remodel of his room we are able to let Erin and Leod take their relationship to the next level. So far there are no additional wishes for a more permanent relationship so far.
Summary:
Leod McGreggor: A pretty easy sim to keep happy most of the time. Most of his wishes revovled around making friends with all the different people he was making, and then wished for best friends and BFF status with most of those same sims. So far he has wished for a couple of skills, but no wish for a job yet. Hopefully that will start to change in the next round. I'm interested to see what Erin's wishes are when we get to her later.
Ending Wishes: Win a Cooking Contest, Be Best Friends with Dina (Caliente), Meet Someone New (Locked), Buy a Florist Bench
