ISBI: Getting to know you

Aquarius - 7 neat, 4 shy, 4 lazy, 7 playful, 5 nice

Meet Imogen Isbee. The sim-daughter of the sim version of my husband and I. She will kick off the challenge by being our very first torch holder (meaning the only sim I can control until she passes the torch to the next generation). By now, Imogen is already back at her house in Ten Flames Province, so we will catch up with her there in the next update. First, I will give you a brief rundown of her university experience.

I created her in CAS as a teen and immediately moved her to uni. Imogen is a family sim that wants to reach the top of the education career track.

With only a measly 500 simoleans to her name, the first thing she did was get to work at the local coffee shop. And then he walked through the door. His name was Quentin Jayapalan and Imogen was immediately attracted to him...I must say that I thought he wasn't too bad myself. Looks like we have ourselves a potential mate.

But I wasn't about let my little girl go to the first sim she fancied. I made sure she played the field. And it didn't go so well, as illustrated above.

So I let her have her man, Quentin, and she couldn't keep her hands off of him. Funny that these two only have one bolt of attraction (my usual rule of thumb is a minimum of two) but Imogen did nothing but role wants relating to him. And I thought, meh...why not let the girl have her man?

All of the potential husband hunting had actually paid off when Imogen inadvertently wound up a member of the secret society. With access to all of the funds she could ask for, as well as several skilling objects we began to work on getting her as many skills as possible. But the traditional method of skilling, even durring fall, was just not fast enough for my liking.

So I had her start to use the sim vac. What a useful litte tool this has turned out to be. I have to give credit to ASimWen for giving me the idea in her ISBI blog The Howdyschells.

It wasn't long before Imogen was a regular skill stealer, tho I couldn't let her max EVERYTHING this way with a clean concience. She would have to study the old fashioned way for at least a few of her points.

She also worked on a couple of badges while she was at uni. This took the ENTIRE length of her college career...these darn workbenches drain comfort like it is going out of style so there were several trips to the rejuvinator zappy mood enhancing aspitarion reward thingy!

The most time consuming project was Imogen's garden. My thought was to have her stock her inventory with fruits and veggies to save on groceries, and to get her the gardening badges. I am planning to try for the wishing well once she is back in the neighborhood...should come in handy...and I thought high gardening skills might help with that. I even had her try out her influence on Quentin having help her garden.

It was getting down to the end of her college experience. Soon it would be time to "officially" start the challenge. Imogen had made up her mind, Quentin was the one.

So in a move bolder than I would give her credit for being, she asked him to marry her...and he said YES!

Soon these two would be Mr. and Mrs. Isbee. But first, there was a graduation party to throw...

They looked great, didn't they? All in cap and gown. What a proud mama I am!
