Vince autonomously goes for a jog after cuddles with Brutus. Brutus is too small for Vince to take him out and tag along while jogging.
Just before Vince is going to take a shower from his afternoon jog, one of his little sisters calls to chat.
Then, Vince is in the mood for chili when it comes to dinner time.
Before bed, I have Vince do some yoga he learned earlier. This gets him to where he Likes Wellness.
I don’t know if this is coincidence or part of his traits, but Brutus again went to bed when Vince did. I think this is too cute.
The next morning, it’s a fruit and yogurt breakfast for Vince.
Then Vince heads off to work. He’ll get another promotion today or get very close to it.
As Vince is at work, I keep an eye on Brutus to see if he gets into any shenanigans. I found this cute. He falls asleep at his food bowl right after eating.
As suspected, Vince receives another promotion and is now a Champion Bodybuilder.
He also is awarded a Jr. Solar System Trophy, which I place on Vince’s desk next to his laptop. I’m glad I chose this career for him as this trophy also pays tribute back to Geordi’s career of being an astronaut and going into space in the first generation.
The money tree I had Vince plant in a previous chapter is ready to be harvested. Although Vince is financially stable right now, any children he has will inherit some of the simoleons, especially the heir(ess). They will take a portion with them when they move to the next World and begin their adventure and continue the legacy. I mentioned in the previous Generation that this is not a challenge-based gameplay. It’s just me having some fun and exploring. I may add some personal challenges, but nothing based on other challenges out there. And I also believe if a Sim earns reward points, the rewards are there to be used. The money tree is one of them. It’s not cheating if a Sim earned it.
It’s time to take Vince to the Burners & Builders Gym once again. I have him introduce himself to one of the Gym Trainers he hasn’t met yet, Hamza Mounib. Vince has a speech bubble with a no flies symbol. Not sure what kind of conversation he is starting, but I’m laughing on the inside.
To my surprise, Aoi is at the gym. Vince is co-workers with her, so I just assume there are days he sees her at work. But it’s nice to have Vince also see her at the gym. Of course, I have to have him talk to her about fitness.
Even Karmine shows up and cheers Vince on. Not sure if because he has a girlfriend, or how his career is going so well. It could even be both.
Vince really didn’t get much of a workout in at the gym, but it was nice he was able to meet up with his girlfriend and stepsister. When he gets home, I have him take a bath with a muscle-relaxing soak.
Then it’s dinner time for Vince. He’s been cooking since he was a teenager and his skills are almost excelled to its max. I’m working on his gourmet cooking more as of late. I enjoy how he admires his food as he’s taking it to the table.
Brutus is in need of attention, so I have Vince give him a little bit of tender loving care.
Finally, before Vince’s day is over, I have him do his daily meditation. Even Brutus is curious what Vince is doing. Vince has not been in a negative mood for such a long time now since I make this a regular thing for him to do.
As the next day arrives, Vince has Thursdays off. He starts the morning with a light breakfast of just a bowl of cereal.
It’s also a day for a TV Season Premiere. Vince watched one of these last generation with his mom and dad when he was a toddler. Perhaps in the evening hours, I’ll have him invite his parents over to watch this one.
I have Vince head to the gym for his second yoga session. I think he enjoyed the first one. Soon enough, he’ll be leading his own meditation and yoga classes of his own. His stepsister, Karmine, is there as well. I find it funny that Vince ends up doing his own thing. It looks like one of the other participants is confused.
After the yoga class, I have Vince take a shower. His next activity, he will want to be smelling nice.
Aoi also has Thursdays off from work. This gives Vince an opportunity to go on a second date with her. Events have to move quickly in Sims time versus real time. This time, I have Vince and Aoi go to Celebrazioni D’Amore in Tartosa.
The date requirements are similar to Vince’s last date. I have him perform all the necessary actions to get him and Aoi a gold status date.
Once gold status is achieved, I end the date. But not before Vince has one more thing to do. And I make sure to do it in front of the live entertainment. It makes it a little more romantic, since the singer has been keeping an eye on the two lovebirds while she sang. Vince gets on one knee and proposes to Aoi.
I am going to end the chapter here with the proposal. There may be a wedding next chapter, there may not be. I have a specific day in mind set up which will also be explained next chapter.
