Heads UP :)

I'm going to try to make you all more interactive with my game instead of just watching all the time. So whenever I can I'm going to. This time I think is going to be pretty fun. I'm either going to today or have already posted a poll on my Instagram for you all to be able to help me figure out who should be Adam's 'Belle!' I'm going to be aging him up in the next couple of posts so I wanted to let you all have the opportunity to vote for who you think will be the best Belle for our story. As always my game is loosely based on Disney's stories. Sometimes I draw inspiration from the books that they're based on, the original animation movies/TV shows, or even their newer movies. So the list below may surprise you a lot! If you've seen Mr. Adam's dating palooza he went on not too long ago, you can see it here, then you know he's very open-minded when it comes to love, and to be honest, my two favorites are Karson and Karla. I just want Adam to not know Belle until after he's already a Beast and has her/him captured. So here is a list of my townies that I added to the game I created 1 and the rest I got off of the gallery. I kind of already introduced them a little bit because originally I wanted them to add to the teens at Adam's parties but I feel like we ended up being pretty okay with how our parties have gone so far. 

I'm going to list their traits but to make things even fairer we can change their traits to make them more Belle inspired if we pick them, I also have more custom traits now that I feel like would be more Belle inspired. That'll be another bridge we will cross later. Right now I'm more concerned with who we want to be Adam's, future love! Another thing I went way, way too in-depth with their backstories. I either created them all myself or drew inspiration from their creators. I also made sure they had at least 2 everyday outfits and I'll tell you more in-depth on what I've changed to the sim as we go through the list. 

I'm going to be posting the voting links in a few different places. The first and most easy (I hope) will be on Instagram I'll have it posted in my story as well as ads to go vote on my Instagram. Right there will be two different ways to vote. Then I'll also post them over in the Facebook groups that I'm in and I'll keep a master count list over on Excel.

I'll even tell you who I hope it is/was after we have a winner because I love all of these sims just the same and I don't want my favorite to win because it's my favorite. One last thing I will add a father figure to whichever sim that wins because I am planning on recreating he/her saving the father from the Beast and taking his place. 

Arya Huntley

Arya is the sim that I created, and I just love her. Her facial features and hair remind me of a lot of Ellie from Degrassi: Next Generation. As soon as she started looking like Ellie I really fell in love with her just couldn't scrap her to just download stuff off of the gallery. Arya currently has the Calm and Extrovert traits, both are custom traits that I got from the amazing Snowiii95! I have basically all of their traits so far. You'll probably see more of them creep up throughout the sims on this list. Her aspiration right now is Leader of the Pack. My original idea for this group for them all to be completely different living in a group home so I tried to make them all different Arya be the one that can just get along with all of them. She just looks like someone that would be so sweet and easy to get along with! Here are her outfits! I tried to showcase all of them and I also tried to go out of my comfort zone a little bit however she would be the one that I stayed within my favorite outfit rotation the most. 

Calvin Chavez

Calvin is one of the sims that I got off of the gallery. He was created by the amazing SimmieSweetness who created 3 of the sims on this list! I'm not the best builder or sim creator but I love story play and dressing them up so I really didn't change much on Calvin. I think the only thing I did for him added an outfit in his everyday queue since he only had 1 everyday outfit. I believe that the guys each only have 2 everyday outfits while the girls have 3-5 outfits. Calvin's traits are Clumsy and Geek so based on those I felt like he would be our hot guy who doesn't know that their hot and is totally a smart nerd who is so precious! I felt like the girls in the house would've had crushes on him but he would just think they're being nice. Kind of a role reverse since normally it's always a girl in the story who just doesn't know that she's beautiful. He currently has the Renaissance Sim aspiration because he wants to do a little bit of everything! Here are his outfits! I tried to keep with his nerdy outfits but still stylish a little bit. I really loved having the freedom to dress these sims up because I got to just have fun with it.

Jackie Davies

Jackie was another one that was created by the amazing SimmieSweetness! She just looks like the classic girl next door, barbie girl! I really loved how she looked and all of these creators created them without CC! I feel like she's our sporty girl of the bunch. I just feel like that's what she would do. But the game currently has her traits as Creative and Art Lover, along with the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration. I mean she feels like she would be the girl next door persona of the bunch. I just really love her and thought she would help round out the bunch. I did give her a couple CC outfits here and there but for the most parts, I left her outfits alone. I added eyelashes to all of these sims and then they automatically got CC eyes since my game has them as default. 

Toby Rose

Toby's our bad boy of the bunch. He was created by SimmersWorld-YT and I just thought he looked so interesting and that he would be good for this group. My goal was to get this bunch as rounded out as possible. I'm pretty sure Toby is probably the one I did the least amount of changes to. I think the only thing I did to him has added another outfit to his Everyday rotation since he only came with 1. His current traits are Romantic and Outgoing with the Party Animal aspiration. Out of all of the sims in this family, I think Toby has the most similar traits to Karson and I really liked how much Adam wanted to spend time with Karson and Karla. Like those 2 relationships truly created themselves because Adam just built them up on his own. I'm really curious how these two would bounce off of one another. Then again I feel like he could potentially be a really good Nick Wilde when Judith ages up but that's literally FOREVER away since she's only a toddler at the moment. Here are his other outfits.

Hillary Hanna

Hillary is our snobby girl, and she was created by the very talented SimmieSweetness. I told you I got a lot of her/his sims! Which I didn't even mean to do I didn't even notice they were all from the same creator until I went back to get the creator's names for my previous intro blog post to them.  In my head, I see her as this little rich girl who's always got everything that she wanted growing up and isn't used to hearing no. I really loved this spoiled girl attitude she came with. AND it made her the perfect sim to model some outfits that I just downloaded from Sentate! Sentate is another creator that makes some really cool CC over on Patreon that I just feel like is really different than what we have in the game, definitely more fierce! You'll see the outfits that she came with and the ones that I added to her because the difference is really stark but at the same time, I feel like they all go so well together on Miss Hillary. Anyways she has the Creative and Snob traits, and to be honest I feel like I should change one of those to Spoiled! I've become really obsessed with these custom traits. I just feel like it gave my game a new fresh breath of air and it has been really fun to play again. Anyways her aspiration right now is Bestselling Author. I don't think I changed any of her traits or aspiration I'm pretty sure it's all the same thing that she came with. So here are the outfits that I keep talking about for her. 

Bastien Lombo

I think Bastien is one of the most interesting sims that I've seen so far in my game. I think he just looks so pretty and different from my other teens. He has gray hair and almost gray eyes! He was created by Vale1968. He's also a pretty muscular guy which you'll see below. But in my head, I kept thinking that he would've been one of the hides in the dark, loner types. Which in my mind when I was adding him to the group he was going to be our loner. He even ended up being the only one in the house to have basically his own apartment in the house. His current traits are Loner and Recycle Disciple and then since we are a house of teens I felt like we needed some hidden talents so his aspiration is Master Chef! I just felt like he would be the chef of the house and that would be how he makes friends is by cooking their dinners since he is out loner boy. I should change the recycle one to shy but I liked that he's kind of building the bridge between everyone else and Bianca who you'll meet last. Again I think the only thing that I changed for this sim was that I added an everyday outfit but that's it, other than the eyelashes and CC eyes. Here are Mr. Bastien's outfits. Oh yeah, I also updated his formal wear to match more of his aesthetic. 

Shawna Peterson

Shawna's another one of those sims that  I downloaded just because of how amazing she looked in the creator's pictures! I just think she looks stunning and I've been dying to use some CC that I that think would look amazing on her and take her hair to a whole other level! She's created by the amazingly talented TheSims18900, who has a lot of other sims. I kept her original outfits and traits but I added more outfits and updated some of her hairstyles. Shawna has the Influencer and Art Lover traits along with the Musical Genius aspiration. I think I changed her traits because I remember downloading her thinking she was going to be our mean girl but the more I played with the outfits I just couldn't make her mean! I mean she looks amazing not like a mean person so I gave her those traits. Looking back I don't think Art Lover really goes with her but I think I did it so that she and Jackie would have something in common. I tried really hard to make the little clicks make sense inside this house. Here are her outfits. I did give her some CC skin details and outfits. One thing that you might notice towards the end of her outfits is the fact that her hair changes a little bit because she ends up having a hairline. One of her braid hairstyles I loved so much but I wanted the picture that the hair has in CAS and she has a few flyaways in the picture unfortunately I don't have the same hair things that they had to make that look so I used the hairline that I had and it looks better but it isn't perfect. It also goes well with the rest of her hairstyles so I left it on her because I really like it more overall even though it's not perfect. 

Bianca Sommer

I intentionally left this beauty for last. I think Bianca physically looks the most like Belle out of all of these amazing sims and I love her! She's probably tied for my favorite of this household at the moment. I just think she looks so interesting and makes you really want to look at her and play the game with her! So I got her added to my game and saw that she is a good clean sim with an edgy side and I loved it even more! I felt like she was going to be our rebellious baddie who has a heart of gold but she's been through some things that made her have to be tough on the outside! I just loved her so much! She currently has the Green Fiend and Maker traits along with the Master Maker aspiration. I feel like that helps her be even more wholesome because all she wants to do is save the world one dumpster at a time! She's another sim that I had so much fun dressing up and playing with the new CC that I got for skin details. One more really cool thing I did for her is made her eye colors different from one another. I really think if it was purely up to my picks she would be a high contender, and definitely tied with my other favorite from this list. 

If you've missed my previous post where I originally introduced all of these kids here it is. But keep in mind my original intention was for them to add more teens to the party scene for Adam versus one of them becoming the new Belle. I will post a little story in the next hour or so of playing in the house so that you can experience them a little more and also to have more pictures to post of them over on my Instagram throughout the week of voting fun. Let's see how this goes out. :)
