Townies

Naomi Royal was one of the six founding sims in my Build a City Challenge. She started out living in the Original Household and later founded the Royal Household with her husband, Jude Morgan. She's vibrant and outgoing and wants to be friends with everyone, and I quickly decided I wanted her to be the Mayor of the save (an idea that for practical purposes meant she founded the Town Council club and joined the Politician career track when it became available). Her signature color is teal.

## Original Save

Naomi was from the first Sims 4 save I ever played. I played the game very off and on for the first couple of years, setting up a couple of households in that save and then quickly abandoning them and the game in general. Finally I decided to try playing a legacy and created a sim for the purpose, Megan Royal. She married a sim from one of those other households, and over time all three were interwoven into the legacy. Megan and her spouse had two daughters, so I decided the legacy would have dual heirs. Naomi and her cousin, Leia Royal, were the generation five (or was it four?) heirs, but I got bored and wandered off from the save during their reign. However, I liked them a lot as characters, and when I decided to create the BACC with sims from pre-existing saves I quickly decided that Naomi and Leia would be the ones to represent their save. Naomi's cousin and Leia's brother, Lancelot Royal, is the only other resident originally from that save.

## Rotations 1-6: In the Beginning

Naomi was added to the save at the beginning of the challenge. She maximized her Charisma skill during the first week, which enabled us to add a new resident to the save (I used this to add Lancelot to the save at the beginning of week four). She maxed her Violin skill during the third week, which helped unlock a lounge lot for the save. Also during the third week she carried out her most important challenge task of all--she finished throwing the five gold level parties needed to unlock interacting with townies.

While all of the sims in the household got along well, none of them autonomously interacted romantically with each other until I briefly added Wicked Whims to the game in the fourth round in the hopes of some couples forming. When Naomi subsequently got pregnant by Jude, I decided they would be together. Their daughter, Avery, was the first baby born in the save. However, the mods in my game were wilding out at that point, and while I was playing Brock Redmond and Natalie Morgan's household during that rotation Naomi visited, hooked up with Brock, and got pregnant by him, later giving birth to their daughter Brielle. This didn't damage Jude and Naomi's relationship, though--in fact, Naomi proposed to Jude during the fifth rotation. Naomi spent rotation six being romantic with Jude, maxing her cooking skill, parenting her daughters, and, thanks to Slice of Life, showing up to Brock & Natalie *and* Lancelot & Maci Redmond's weddings wearing sheet masks.

## Rotations 7-9: New House, Growing Household

Jude and Naomi, with now-Toddler aged Avery and Brielle in tow, moved out of the original household and into their own starter house in Rotation 7, creating the Royal Household. At the end of their household's turn, Jude and Naomi had a sunset wedding at the Pirate Wedding Park. Later in the rotation she visited Maci and Lancelot's house on Winterfest, helped decorate their tree, and glitch-waved her arm right through Father Winter's throat. She also visited Mabel Seagraves a few times.

Jude and Naomi adopted two black cats, Flash and Shadow, at the beginning of their eighth round. While I actually don't have any pictures of Naomi with the cats during that round, Jude and the girls all loved on them a lot, and this was probably the most serene the house ever was.

Avery aged up at the end of rotation 8 and Brielle at the beginning of rotation 9, at which point their personalities began to dramatically clash. Naomi got stuck doing most of the disciplining, while Jude mostly ignored it all in favor of autonomously admiring the family portrait. He and Naomi started having some autonomous conflicts during this rotation as well. As if this wasn't enough, Naomi got pregnant again and I didn't realize it until I saw the Slice of Life moodlet about thinking about baby names. She gave birth to their second child together, Ollie, on Friday.

Jude and Naomi went through several more life changes during the ninth rotation--for starters, I had added a Town Hall to the save, which meant that Naomi was finally able to join the Politics career path. Rotation 9 is also when Jude used LittleMsSam's ATM Cards mod to take out a loan to open his restaurant, The Genesis Diner. Naomi went to work at the diner with Jude on its second day and was able to tell Leia about her pregnancy while she was there. I also made a couple of tweaks to Naomi and Jude in CAS, including giving Naomi the nose stud and sun ankle tattoo from Discover University as well as CC dimples by PralineSims. And in the middle of all of this Naomi *also* managed to max her Comedy skill, which was the final thing needed to unlock a Lounge lot for the neighborhood.

## Rotations 10 and 11: Another Daughter and an Actual-Death Experience

In rotation 10 the Wheel Decide I was using rolled for Jude and Naomi to divorce. I thought about going with it, and even added Candy Behr to the save to see if she would hit it off with Jude or Naomi, but neither of them were interested in her. I didn't want to split up Jude and Naomi, anyway, so I used the divorce roll for another household and had them re-roll. Their second roll was to adopt a child, and after randomizing to see which of the available adoptees I should go with, they adopted Marcella. While Marcella got along with Naomi immediately, she tended to get angry with Jude. (And while Jude and Naomi's marriage stayed intact, this *was* also the round where I discovered that it was really hard for Naomi, who was in the Politics career at this point, to get Jude to agree to vote for her!)

Since the starter house was now much too small for the family, I moved them into a new house. While I am not much of a builder, I was starting to put more effort into houses, and this one in particular was designed with its residents in mind--I had a large kitchen/dining room area both because Jude is a chef and because Naomi had the Party Animal aspiration and I wanted to be able to fit a lot of sims.

Naomi put in her usual round of party and gathering appearances throughout the tenth rotation, including one day at Siobhan Fyres and Ricardo Tellez's household when she accepted a briefcase of cash from Lancelot. Naomi was also seen dining at the Genesis Diner on two separate occasions during the Fyres' rotation, once with Avery and once with Brielle. Naomi and Avery had a notably touchy relationship during Avery's childhood, so seeing them get along of their own free will was nice. (Though Avery did then lash out at Naomi again during Siobhan and Ricardo's wedding.) She continued this in the eleventh rotation, and hooked up with Ricardo Tellez during a get-together at the Original Household. She also had a front-row seat at Leia and Jaxson Hill's wedding.

One party during rotation 11 was unlike any other--Jude, Naomi and Avery were having their shared birthday party at Pirate Wedding Park and everything was going fine until Leia flirted with Jude right in front of Naomi. Naomi immediately became enraged and died, but instead of having the usual death sequence with Grim Reaper I just found Jude standing next to her urn. Since this was a glitch and there wouldn't have been any way for me to plead for her, I re-added her ghost to the family and then purchased the Wishing Well once we returned home and used it to return her to life. Once that was taken care of, we baked her a cake and she aged up to an Adult. Naomi was still in a foul mood when she put in her appearance at the Morgan household later that evening, glowering at Natalie and Brock but at least having a pleasant interaction with Phoebe. However, during another visit at the end of the Morgans' week she and Jude were interacting romantically, making me think there was hope for their marriage yet. And arguably the strongest proof of all of Naomi's emotional recovery was that she autonomously tutored a very unskilled Isaac on the violin during the Redmonds' week.

## Rotations 12-: Adulthood

The Royals' rotation 12 photos were lost along with most of the other households' photos, but Naomi did put in a few appearances at the households whose photos I was able to recover. This included her attending Lancelot Royal and Kiersten Hill's Winterfest wedding dressed in a bright red sequined dress and wearing a Santa hat. She also went to their New Year's Eve gathering at home and kissed Jude on the cheek at midnight. She also met her sisters-in-law, Lara Morgan and Marie Morgan, and during that visit she was seen accepting another briefcase of cash, this one from Siobhan.

Everything seemed back to normal in the Royal household during rotation 13. The house had been added to and decorated quite a bit, presumably during rotation 12. Jude and Naomi had patched things up, and she was doing well on the Politician career track, successfully campaigning for Daisy Fitzhugh's vote among others. She also seemed to be getting along much better with Avery now that Avery was a Teen. She was also seen doting on the family's new kitten. The scariest part of their week was when Marcella caught herself on fire while cooking breakfast, but Naomi and Brielle worked together to extinguish her.

Naomi put in more appearances at the other households. She was seen flirting with Moses Hill at a party at the Fyres' house and slow dancing with Ricardo Tellez during another visit. On a more wholesome note, she and Jude put in an appearance at the karaoke restaurant while I was playing the Seagraves/Behr household. Naomi also attended Charles Seagraves and Candy Behr's wedding, where she and Avery showed up wearing matching dresses and Naomi did a bit of autonomous cooking during the reception. She rang in the New Year at the Fitzhugh house, where she blew celebratory horns with Harper Fitzhugh, bonded with Ivy and Ira Fitzhugh, and watched the Midnight Countdown with the family and other guests.

Naomi and her family kicked off the fourteenth rotation by being the first sims to visit Mt Komorebi. Naomi took a particular interest in their vacation home's bonsai plant. They visited several lots in the neighborhood and also tried out hotpot at their rental home.
