TS4: Love Is a Burning Thing (Part 18)

The Sims 4: Love Is a Burning Thing

Apparently I completely misunderstood how dating works, since running up to someone and immediately hitting on them seems to be a sure-fire way to get them to call you back. The obviously-insane man, who goes by the name of Maxwell Quintanilla, asked Lilith on a date to the local nightclub, and she was all too happy to acquiesce. Still, she didn't want to seem desperate, so she made sure to show up at the club all calm and collected.

Okay, maybe not calm and collected, but at least she didn't begin flirting immediately again, right?

Okay, not sure what she's doing there, but apparently she's desperate to get him to fall in love with her, repeatedly attempting to seduce the guy. It seems to be going well, and he slowly begins to reciprocate her feelings. Eventually they move into the nightclub (since they can't very well stay outside) where they dance, talk, and drink (gasp!) the afternoon away. They seem to have a lot in common, so I use my god-like control over Lilith to have her ask Maxwell out, and he says yes!

Nothing says "I love you" like a selfie!

Shortly before going home, Lilith and Maxwell share their first kiss:

Over the next few days, nothing really interesting happened. Lilith and Maxwell hung out every opportunity they have as I increasingly suspect Maxwell to be actually homeless as he's constantly walking back and forth in front of Lilith's place (maybe they go well together because they're both stalkers?). Eventually, she asked him to "stay the night" so they can "fool around" in bed (which is basically the same as "woo-hoo", but they keep their clothes on).

Then their relationship took a turn for the worse. I don't know how Maxwell felt, but Lilith was downright embarrassed from Maxwell's poor "fooling around" performance. It was so bad that she broke up with the bloke the very next morning.

I just noticed that the two portcullises don't match.

Oh boy here we go.

Teenage drama. Great.

That's it with Lilith's adventures for this episode. The other household members kept going about their regular business. Since both were at the top of their respective fields, I spent a little bit of time remodelling certain areas around the house to prepare for their twilight years. The first thing to change was to remove the second-floor bathroom and reading area and replace them with a small private gym.

I don't like the fact that it's kinda claustrophobic and currently lacks windows, but anything else I did felt wrong and awkward. Another thing I did was remodel the master bedroom on the first floor in order to increase the bathroom size.

The walls are a little too barren for my tastes, but I'm sure they'll be cluttered in no time! Anyways, that's it for this update. Next time, on The Sims 4: Friendship! Cake! Musical Talent!
