\"\"<\/p>\n

Love Day has arrived. As a reminder, Love Day is a Sims version of Valentine’s Day. It is a default holiday created by EA\/Maxis that happens once every Spring season.<\/p>\n

It was a special day for Reese, so why not make something different for breakfast. A scrambled eggs kind of day. Oh, and bacon. A special day to have bacon with those scrambled eggs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then it was time for Reese to head off to work. I and Reese were counting down the in-game hours for him to get home and get ready for his Love Day date. I picked out a venue for him that was in the gameplay before the Reboot. Levi went on a date there. Now it’s Reese’s turn.<\/p>\n

Reese finally returns home to his apartment complex. Tonight he is going to skip going to the Willow Creek Archive<\/em> Library and Skye Fitness Gym<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Reese gets on his phone to order a gift – A special flower for a special lady. Plus it’s part of the Love Day tradition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(Behind the scenes look: While Reese was at work, we have a stranger by the name of Ekram Elderberry enter his apartment and use his bathroom sink to grab a glass of water. I have Reese lock the door at night before he goes to bed and unlock it when he gets up. No intruders during his work shift until now. But since he was only after a glass of water, it’s alright.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then it was time to call up this special lady and Ask on Date…<\/em><\/p>\n

He requested she meet him at a specific venue for this date of theirs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then Reese met her again. Elizabeth Landers. First he saw her singing at a karaoke machine with a beautiful voice. Then, unbeknownst to him, when he wasn’t aware, she would be watching him but disappear before he had a chance to converse with her. They met up again at a karaoke bar and were finally able to talk to each other. It didn’t take long for these two to become Friends, but she still hid from him her traits. Reese went to the Romance Festival looking for his new Friends he had made, but only one made an appearance. It was Elizabeth. Although he was high on the Sakura tea and made some moves on her, she freely accepted them. There were sparks. Even the Romance Guru had pointed some hints about her. A tall dark stranger.<\/p>\n

Now Reese was officially going out on a date with Elizabeth. He brought her to a place where they could have a lot of fun – The Llama Bowl-A-Rama<\/em> Bar.<\/p>\n

Before going inside, he presented her with a red rose. The red rose symbolizes romance, love, beauty, and courage. A thornless red rose means love at first sight. Reese (and myself) knew he liked her the moment he saw her sing. Members of The Sims Forums<\/a> voted Elizabeth as the most fitting and interesting for Reese of the five Friends he had made in San Myshuno. And the Romance Guru predicted someone with her features.<\/p>\n

After Reese gave Elizabeth his gift…<\/p>\n

Elizabeth gave Reese a gift along with a thoughtful message:<\/p>\n

“Everyday we share together, we’re creating our own fairytale. I look forward to our happily ever after.”<\/p>\n

The gift can be found in Reese’s inventory.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elizabeth gave Reese not just one, but two roses. Double what he gave her. I guess these two were really meant to be together. She doesn’t seem like a shy person, but maybe she was nervous to approach him earlier and that’s why she spied on him. But why would she run when he tried to talk to her when he first saw her?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They found a table and sat down. I had Reese Flirt<\/em> with Elizabeth and then had autonomy take over for a bit so they could do their Main Goal: Socialize with Your Date<\/em> on their own. Brant stopped by. The three talked and Brant left, probably knowing Reese was on a date.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reese’s Hunger Need moved to the yellow, so I had Reese and Elizabeth go to the front bar and order some food. Reese continued talking there. I think he was even talking about himself. Maybe talking about his job. Elizabeth kept staring and listening to him. She is so into this guy. *laughing*\u00a0<\/em>Elizabeth begins to open up and share about herself, too.<\/p>\n

Reese has learned the following traits about Elizabeth:<\/p>\n
