Wow, thanks for showing off the house so well, ombradellarosa!  As you know, I had a lot of fun working on it, and am so glad that you asked me to help with this project. :)  You're doing a really great job setting up the story.  Can't wait to see what comes next, and to see what sort of stuff the bachelors bring to fill in the bunk room!

I appreciate everyone's nice comments about the mansion.  Maybe after the show is over, I'll release it on the Swap Shop, so you can own a piece of Bachelorette history. ;)

Wow! Just, wow! That house is flippin' fantastic! Great work, intl_incident! I especially like the color pallatte in the foyer. I'm sure all of the bachelors and Marielle are going to love it. Once they see the house, they'll be more reluctant to leave than ever!  :P

It warms my heart to see so many compliments on intl_incident's work. She deserves to have more people oohing and ahhing over her work than just me all the time!

(I myself have a number of different personality sides but I don't know if I could count them...one day I will though^^)

I was too busy assuring you of the true identity of the builder to answer this part. As I said before, these are only the five that are working on the show--it states on my Facebook page in About Me that I have more sides than a trisoctahedron and I would be willing to prove it if need be. I'm a little disappointed that no one has tried to guess the traits of these particular aspects. I left some rather broad hints in the writing...

Simply gorgeous! Woah  :o

Glad to hear your game is behaving better, Rosa!  :)

That's the face I make every time intl_incident sends me screenshots of her work. It truly is simply gorgeous. And lucky you, all of you, because you will get to see much more of her work in the future!

Me too! ;D Thank you. Better than ever, actually, because of the extra RAM I can play my bigger files. I'm so happy!

Absolutely stunning!

I wish I could build like that! Usually, I just build modern homes for my sims. I would rather have them live in something like this though! I loved the outdoor area the most, especially that pool.

Me too. I informed intl_incident that once The Bachelorette was over I plan to move my Sim's family into this house. The houses I build are just sad in comparison. It's because she has the patience to add all the perfect little details. I could never mention them all, but I challenge you to look through the screenshots and notice how many tiny details there are that make up the pleasing whole.

The pool, I know! Amazing right? I love the fountain. That's why Devin Ashton a while back mentioned to check out the pool, way back in the introduction I think it was! And yes, the whole back outside area is just too lovely.

Actually, I considered the meta joke of my own. You know, the one you responded to with the devil horned smiley, but I don't think anyone else has really pieced together yet? Somebody came close though.

And I love the mansion! If I'm building something, my sims usually end up in shacks like a bunch of suckers.

I remember that, but I don't remember what the joke was at the moment. Was it here or on your story?

Yep, yep that sounds about like me too.

I'm speechless when I look this update, Rosa ;D
Keep it up! Can't wait to see next update.

(Rosa Sim... Hmm, I just wonder. Is that your Simself? *just guess* :P)

I guess that I'm not alone here. Me too, when it come to building just *facepalm*. I wish that I can build something like that in the future...

I know, right? It's because intl_incident is such an amazing builder. Anyone would be speechless. I'm glad you are liking the story.

That would be the same as Rosa from the previous update. The producer/director in the pinstriped suit with the megaphone. I gave them all the last name Sim because I was not being creative.  She's the one in charge, and that's why she has my moniker. Although I suppose that Rose is probably the one writing most of the time, but that's far too confusing to get into. And yes, she is one of my many Simselves. I used to play Simselves exclusively. It's really down to this Forum and its assorted challenges that I started playing anyone else!

My advice to you would be practise, practise, practise. I think I'm not very good at building--I don't enjoy it much, so I rush so I can get back to Live Mode--but I also think I'm getting better, partially through practising, partially because of the examples and ideas I get from looking at other builders, and partially because some of my work is in my stories, so I want it to look good out of sheer pride.

Wow, thanks for showing off the house so well, ombradellarosa!  As you know, I had a lot of fun working on it, and am so glad that you asked me to help with this project. :)  You're doing a really great job setting up the story.  Can't wait to see what comes next, and to see what sort of stuff the bachelors bring to fill in the bunk room!

I'm glad you liked it :) I don't think I take screenshots of the house half as well as you did, because I'm used to taking close-ups of people, but I wanted to take my own so Emily could be in them. I'm so glad I asked you too! You have been an absolute joy to work with, and to borrow a beautiful and applicable compliment from Magz, I am constantly amazed at the breadth of your talent. (Thank you, Magz!) I can't wait to see what comes next either! And oh my, when the bachelors come in it should be interesting! We didn't know during the building process that there would be conflict between some of them. Sponsors, prepare to pick your beds! ;D

I had Emily point out the artefacts and paintings because it seemed like the thing someone wanting a Private Museum would do.

I would encourage everyone to download this gorgeous and historic house, because there is only so much that can be shown from screenshots. It is truly beautiful inside and out.

Wow! Just, wow! That house is flippin' fantastic! Great work, intl_incident! I especially like the color pallatte in the foyer. I'm sure all of the bachelors and Marielle are going to love it. Once they see the house, they'll be more reluctant to leave than ever!  :P

I loved that too! It's so cool with the floor and the vase, and all the things, I had to point it out in the tour. Marielle has actually seen it already, and she does love it! I'm not sure I'll be able to convince her to leave it when we begin to travel. Little does she know what lies in store! You can see what she says about the Bachelorette Mansion in the first part of her introduction, which took place in the family room of the mansion itself. I can't wait to see what things the bachelors will enjoy! This was built long before we knew who any of them would be. It's nice to see they each have areas they will enjoy. Sponsors, for extra credit, tell me what places you see your bachelor gravitating towards in the mansion!


I don't know if this was clear, but Emily Springbrook represents intl_incident. That's why she holds the title of production designer and why she was qualified to give you a tour of her house!

Hm...Della is a heavy sleeper, Rose is a bookworm, and neurotic, Ombra is a workaholic and a computer whiz, Rosa is probably charismatic, and Bella is charismatic and artistic to say the least.....as far as I can tell^^

Yes, she is! She is deserved that!
And your story are enjoyable, not only enjoyable your writing style too have it's own uniqueness, it is awesome.
I can't imagine it too about your hardwork when you making this story, for example when I looking at those picture with fitting bubble speech. You must be giving your all. I'm so glad that I found your story :)

Hehe, it's like that you have multiple personality. That's kinda cool.

Thank you for your advice, Rosa. I think that goes same with writing too right? I envy with those with great writing style and great stories out there, including yours. I know that they practise hard. I just wish that I can write my own story too, though I'm not good with words ^^

I have nothing left to say and I'm still speechless.
Wish all the best for your story. Go, Rosa! Go! ;D

In a way, everyone has multiple personalities. What you show to those at work or school isn't usually what you show to family or friends. Even there, you might show parts that overlap but are entirely different between friends, family and significant other.

You're only bad with words if you believe you are, Eld-san. Just because you put words together differebtly than most people, doesn't mean you can write a story. If you come up with who they are, what they're doing and why, what their personality and looks are, how and why they got pulled into doing it,  where it's happening, and when it's happening, then all you need to do is fill in the details, figure out how to start it, what might try to stop it or continue it on, the character's personalities, and how it'll end. It's not always easy - I myself usually lose myself in the timeline that I don't have for a story or don't write part of it, or I end up going on and on, plus I always seem to set up my stories to be long, not short ones at all.

Anyways....I raise my glass to intl in awe for having created such an involved and beautiful mansion for the Bachelors and Marielle to enjoy.
Rosa-chan~
Are you adding interludes because you want to, or is it partially because you don't have the last bachelor yet?...and who is the sponser of him?

Agreeing with ladyaya.  Eldrige, you should go ahead and write stories.  Coming into this writing community as a nooboo, I know full well that others do Sim stories far better than I do, but I've met with nothing but kindness and support surrounding good, constructive criticism. 
On that subject, thanks to everyone who has kindly given comments/feedback/encouragement to newcomers (and yes, Rosa, I particularly owe a debt of thanks to you).

I have the best readers ever. I'm just saying. You are all amazing. I'm really feeling tugs on my heart right now.

With that, here is a warning that this will be a really long post because of all the lovely wonderful long comments. I just eat them up like fruit ices, they are so good!

I was just about to ask intl_incident whether Emily was her simself :).

Yep, Emily is based on intl_incident.


Yay!

Yes, she is! She is deserved that!
And your story are enjoyable, not only enjoyable your writing style too have it's own uniqueness, it is awesome.

Awww, thank you Eld! It's so wonderful to be appreciated, and yes it does take hard work and a lot of time to get the right speech bubbles! Especially when I have something planned out to say. This one was easier because I had no really strong ideas ahead of time so I just went with the speech bubbles, but the bachelor interviews, since they were written by other people, were much harder! I took at least a hundred
 screenshots for each one. Some of them gave me a really hard time! A lot of them seemed to talk about nothing but babies and houses, I think they are getting ahead of themselves! I'm glad you found my story too, because you just made me very happy with this comment :D

Hehe, it's like that you have multiple personality. That's kinda cool.

Oh, I definitely do. Ask anyone. Ha ha.

Thank you for your advice, Rosa. I think that goes same with writing too right? I envy with those with great writing style and great stories out there, including yours. I know that they practise hard. I just wish that I can write my own story too, though I'm not good with words ^^

Definitely, the same goes for writing. If you look at my first Sims story, the Callahans, I didn't have a clue what I was doing and I think it shows in the beginning. I always hope that my newest story will be a little better than the others before it because I have more experience. Thank you for counting me among the great writers. I think there are many that are better than me but I'm glad you like my writing, it really does just make me so happy when people like it. I agree with Pippin and Anna, you should absolutely start writing. Just start! Sometimes it may not be the best but I find that posting it and getting feedback is a wonderful way to get better. It's good because unlike other things you write, the readers can write back right away and there are many of them!

I have nothing left to say and I'm still speechless.
Wish all the best for your story. Go, Rosa! Go! ;D
*wait for next update*

Thank you! You're so sweet.


In a way, everyone has multiple personalities. What you show to those at work or school isn't usually what you show to family or friends. Even there, you might show parts that overlap but are entirely different between friends, family and significant other.

That is quite right, Anna are you studying psychology or communications? Because that is spot on like from a textbook! I would go further and say you could be different with different friends. I know I am.

You're only bad with words if you believe you are, Eld-san. Just because you put words together differebtly than most people, doesn't mean you can write a story. If you come up with who they are, what they're doing and why, what their personality and looks are, how and why they got pulled into doing it,  where it's happening, and when it's happening, then all you need to do is fill in the details, figure out how to start it, what might try to stop it or continue it on, the character's personalities, and how it'll end. It's not always easy - I myself usually lose myself in the timeline that I don't have for a story or don't write part of it, or I end up going on and on, plus I always seem to set up my stories to be long, not short ones at all.

That's quite right. Anyone on the Forum can write a story! There are no requirements! What a wonderful thing. You're right, once you have the characters down or the plot, you fill in the rest! Some stories, like the Callahans (not trying to plug my own stories I just know them best so they are ready examples) start out with no clear plan and evolve. Others, like House of White, are rigidly planned and follow a strict outline. I recommend starting with the former! It's much easier to learn and more forgiving. For example, I could go back and add a screenshot I missed to the Callahans but I wouldn't do it in House of White.

Anyways....I raise my glass to intl in awe for having created such an involved and beautiful mansion for the Bachelors and Marielle to enjoy.
Rosa-chan~

~Anna

Agreed! A toast to intl_incident, master builder!

Both. I had interludes floating in my head and when I had to wait for the final bachelor I decided to put them down in writing. Lilygirl is the last bachelor sponsor and she has had worse computer troubles than me and a lot of things going on in her life, so I completely understand why she has to be late this time.

Again, quite right. This forum is the most supportive and caring group you're likely to find on the Internet. A better group of readers you won't find anywhere! And they will give great feedback, too, as I said before.

Aww, thanks Pippin, you're making me blush ^#_#^ You're welcome.


Thank you so much ladyaya... or should I say Anna and thank you for PeregrineTook too ;D

Good. The more you post here, the more encouragement you will find!

Agreed! I would read it!


Thank you to this wonderful, nurturing, encouraging group of readers. I'm glad to have provided something that leads to this.

Anna, you are really good. Wow! Yes, those are all right, except for two. Rosa is not charismatic (though Bella is) and Bella is not artistic (though Rose is). Anyone want to guess at the other traits?

I'm totally making somewhat random guesses, but is Rosa grumpy, a vehicle enthusiast, or a workaholic?

Will we be seeing more of the "producers" as the show goes on, or was that a one time interlude?

I think so. It never shows in the show, but in a parody of similar shows on Psych they showed a literal bunk room--nothing but bunk beds in there. Ours is much bigger and nicer!

It really is. Sure, download it when the show is over and move your Simself in!

Mmmm, no. I think Ombra has the hidden vehicle enthusiast trait, though. Guess again!

Note: The only two that have overlapping traits are Rosa and Bella. They have two traits each that are the same as the other.

These traits have been guessed correctly: Rose--neurotic and bookworm, Della--heavy sleeper, Ombra--workaholic and computer whiz, Bella--charismatic.
