Press Charges, 2013

Remar, summer, 2013
Benjamin Endeavor and Rashid Cunningham are 27, Rojo Herendez is 21


Benjamin's summer started off great. He was promoted on the basketball team and the newspapers referred to him as a superstar, he was the face of Man Smell Deodorant and his pay increase and endorsements meant that he could afford a bigger and better place. 




Thier new loft was amazing, bigger bedrooms and better views. Benjamin could have hoped for room for an indoor basketball court, but perhaps when he decided to stop renting. 


But first he had to save up more cash. He wanted his first home to be spectacular and amazing and he wanted it mortgage free and with all the bells and whistles. 




Even though money wasn't an issue for him, Benjamin was finding that others were not quite as accepting of the perks that celebrities of his sature should enjoy.


The only thing he ordered was a slice of cake,


was it unreasonable to expect the meal to be free. After all, he was sure that his prescene made  the establishment more popular.


Unfortunately they didn't see it that way and thankfully they didn't press charges, Benjamin just had to pay for the meal.


He was bring in plenty of simoleans and could afford to throw parties.




Low key though with only a few sims, he still needed to rest for practices.



But he managed to have enough energy to entertain both Regina and Ming. Regina still seemed ok with their arrangement, but sometimes it seemed that she wanted more.


She said he was getting too old to keep dating around and needed to settle. He wasn't even 30 yet and besides, now was the time in his life that he could date celebrities and hot chicks like models.


Rashid on the other hand seemed to be itching to settle, maybe it was the pressure from his family as the oldest son, or perhaps the competition with his younger brother Marchon whose own love life in Riverdale was going great, or maybe it was the fact that he had bumped into S'Ahmisa in an international airport. Benjamin didn't understand that, but he respected it.


The guys spent a lot of time fishing, something they picked up from a class during the summer Apple Festival. 

It was there that Benjamin had introduced him to Angel, Regina's roommate. 


It was there that Rashid had spent a date with the young woman, playing silly games in the dark, but Rashid hadn't mentioned her since his return.


Benjamin assumed that the extra time that Rashid was spending on the internet was with S'Ahmisa, even though he denied it.


Rojo on the other hand was similar to Benjamin, he felt that there were too many women to just pick one.


His current conquest was a cheerleader from Pierce University.


At first she gave him a hard time with her refusals to engage in anything more than platonic dinners, but this made her more challenging to Rojo. He pulled out all the stops and eventually used his music production card. He had just singed a contract with SiMusic to produce their music. He received a large bonus and worked over 8 simdays at Winter Fest where his skills were well received.


It worked  as now the cheerleader was willing to give a few kisses now.

  1. I lol'd at Benjamin trying to skip out on the bill! I think you can afford to pay for your cake guy lol. And I can see Rojo opening with the music producer line from now on!

  2. Benjamin being a cheapskate, how funny! It is strange, though, that when you get money more things come free! That must have been embarrassing.

    And I wonder if anything will happen between Rashid and Angel! She seems cute and fun.

    1. So far not much of anything, Angel is working on her acting career and Rashid thinks that is a bit flakey. Thanks for commenting and reeading

  3. This update was hilarious.I can't believe Benjamin tried to skip out on an $8 dollar tab for a piece of cake.But I guess it's the principle that as a star athlete he should get it completely free.I definitely love this group of guys already.I like how Benjamin and Rojo are young and not ready to settle down; I wouldn't expect a 20 year old nor a basketball superstar to settle down so quickly.On the other hand, Rashid is still into S'Ahmisa, but his friends try to hook him up with another girl.This just seems so typical and relatable.I can relate these characters to so many people I know.I can't wait for the next update :)

    1. Yea, they have different priorities. Rashid wants something stable like his parent's marriage and he's surrounded by men who are really enjoying their youth :) thanks for reading and commenting.

  4. SO funny that he tried leaving without paying for a slice of cake! I like that he got it though, even though he can afford it, you wrote it in really well. Angel is adorable, but I'm not sure I want Rashid to pair with her...

    1. When I got the ROS I had no clue how to implement it, but then I thought about the news about celebrities ranking up these bills and expecting not to pay, lol. Thanks for commenting and reading.

  5. Having just visited my cousins' house (three guys all in their 20s), I had to smile at the liquor bottles on the shelf above the computer! That seems like such a guy thing - my cousins have quite the collection on top of the cabinets in their kitchen!

    LOL, Benjamin! I think you can definitely afford a slice of cake, you cheapskate! That's definitely not going to impress any hot models! ;)

    Angel is a cute girl but like Maisie, not sure if she's for Rashid. Perhaps I am too invested in the idea of Rashid and S'Ahmisa though!

    1. Glad you noticed the bottles, I need to show a picture of their rooms, Rashid has clothing everywhere and Benjamin is such a neat freak. That's not even half of their liquor collection :) thanks for reading and commenting.

  6. Another fun update - I'm setting up lots for the young singles of Kulo Seeri to share, and now I'm really wanting to play them! So far I only have two who are out on their own, but I can't wait to have more now. The Nuidya have always been too busy surviving to have a chance to be young and single, but your updates always make me think that once it gets started there's never a shortage of entertainment! :)

    1. Oh yes, and can you remind me how old Li and Serendipity are, and let me know roughly what time of year their birthdays would be? I'm reworking my calendar and I need to know. :)

      Delete
    2. Roommate households are lots of fun can't wait for you to try them. According to the family tree in the sidebar, Li was born simyears 1976 and serendipity was born Simyears 1997. When they left Serendipty was 18 and Li was 38. Thanks for reading and commenting

  7. I love how you worked that cheapstake-ros in! Somehow Benjamin seemed like the perfect one for this, with his new status and all!

    Theis place looks really nice, and with the liquor bottles on a shelf above the computer it seems like a true bachelor-pad!

    1. I enjoy the bachelor pad and I hope they can stay together longer, but it seems like Benjamin is itching for his own place and besides who has heard of a superstar athlete sharing an apartment :p thanks for reading and commenting.
