On your own, or not just yet ... - August 2020

Last update: A second option


On your own, or not just yet ...
Samantha Bradshaw is 25
(Stella Terrano is 32, Anna Min is 21 and Niels Bleek is 20)
As expected, the bookstore has been put on hold ever since Anna gave birth to her second child. She didn't mind that much, it's summer so she could enjoy the beautifull weather. She did try to stop by at Anna's occasionally.

She sometimes couldn't understand how the quiet and calm Anna could survive in this hectis household. There were just too many people to just sit down and relax. Not that she minded she loved having people around and could relax almost everywhere, but she just couldn't see Anna like that. She always had fun watching the kids together.
She sometimes wondered what had gone wrong with her life, after all she was 25 now, and there still wasn't some one special in her life. Sure there have been guys, and she did love them, but somehow they almost allways were "wrong" for her. She didn't like to think about these kind of things since she was happy with her life. She loved seeing the world, meeting new people, being able to do all kind of different things, but still things she loved.
With the bookstore on hold at the moment, she was able to put some more energy in her work at the newspaper, and Stella was really happy with her work. Stella felt more comfortable giving her some first-page articles as well, and she was feeling pretty succesfull at the moment.

Since she was getting more importand pieces at the newspaper, the pay was gettting better as well. Even to the point where she started thinking of looking for a place of her own. It didn't have to be big, just somewhere she could live, and write. At the moment she always had to go down to campus, where there was an "internetcafe", to write her stories, and with all the students walking around it sometimes was hard to concentrate.
One day she even got the nerve to talk to him, and before she knew it, they talked for hours. It was like meeting Anna on the day she arrived, like they had known each for years. He was good company, and she had a good time.
They started going out several times a week. She felt really comfortable with him, and always had fun.
The few times she was in the Bookcorner, Niels  even came by to help. He was becoming a really good friend, some one she could talk to about everything, now that Anna was busy with her kids and school. She never though more of it.
Untill he kissed her, and everything suddenly was different.

Notes: 
  • Well, finally, a real update! You guys have been waiting for it long enough! I'm not completely back on shedule so the 'coming up'-section is still on hold, I hope to change that soon, but well' just see for now, with some luck, you'll get Elisa and Harald's wedding later this week.
  • On to the update now. I have to admit, it's not completely gameplay here, or playing with Samantha's wants. I don't know why, but my sims never seem to roll any interesting wants, even if the sims aren't mine! And I coulldn't keep writing about her work in the bookstore or for the newspaper.
  • Niels seems like the kind of guy to do this kind of things, and since campus is the only place at the moment with 'public computers' it was kind of logical for him to show up there.
  • They only have 1 bolt, but such thing isn't something to hold Niels down. I'm 100% sure Niels isn't the right guy for Samantha, he has a girlfriend, and she got pregnant, but he's not looking for any comitment, read more here. Samantha doesn't know he has a girlfriend, so I figured she would be happy with the attention from a guy, who she thinks is free.
  • I know my profiles aren't really up to date anymore, I was planning on redoing all of the pictures, and adding some more information on my sims when my game started acting up, so it was put on hold. I will be doing it soon, but I have no idea when. At the moment I'm just looking forward to playing my sims :)

  1. Whoooaaa, wow Samantha doesn't have the best "jerk radar" does she :P Well, maybe the attention is nice and that's all that it will be for the moment.

  2. OMG Samantha! lol! Wow, that's what makes this project so much fun, I think, that she comes into a neighborhood and stirs up trouble with all these characters who have fully formed lives and stories of their own. Love it, lol!

    On the other hand, I'd like to say to Samantha, Get your head back in your news stories, young lady! Because that boy smells like trouble! :o

    I love to see her doing so well in her career though! It must be such a nice change of pace for her to have that focus, and be making such significant progress. Well, you know, until she met Niels, lol!

    You're doing great with this Tanja! I'm really enjoying it! :)

  3. Oh man! Stay away from Niels! I can see her enjoying someone to talk to, especially since they hit it off conversationally speaking. Still, bad news! I'm glad she's doing so well at the paper, and is still keeping in touch with Anna.

  4. LOL @ Laura! It's true though, Samantha really should try to focus on her work! These romantic ventures always seem to get her into trouble and it doesn't seem like Niels is any different!

    I feel bad for the poor girl, always running into these unattainable men!
