Hello and welcome back to a double week of the Sweet Lips challenge with Dawn Cobb! The last time we saw Dawn, she had completed another aspiration, started writing a lot of books, and kissed 5 more sims. This post is going to cover 2 weeks, as neither week had a lot going on. Let’s dig in!

Weeks 13 and 14

When we are first back with Dawn, she is busy doing some more writing. I really don’t think we are going to get through the best-selling author aspiration, since writing bestsellers is not easy.

Dawn’s days have become much quieter than they used to be. She goes to work, spends time writing, and spends time in her garden.

At night, her apparition does additional skilling for her, like working on maxing out the painting skill.

Dawn hired a gardener, just to see if she would connect with the person they sent, and she did, at first.

Sadly, by the time she left, things had gone very sour indeed. The gardener didn’t like Dawn at all, and had a negative romance bar for a bit. We just let it go.

Dawn has a couple of stars of fame, thanks to her paintings, acting, and book writing. That unlocked the quirk Refined Palate.

Dawn noticed this woman hanging around and decided to go introduce herself. The woman wasn’t interested in Dawn, but they had a nice conversation.

It’s winter time, so most days are more gray than sunny, but none of that stops Dawn from tending to her garden. Most plants are hibernating, but she still collects the money fruit, and items that are in season each day.

The computer gets so much use now that it will break from time to time. Dawn has more than enough handiness to fix it without issue each time.

Dawn is really trying to get through the bestselling author aspiration milestone. It requires her to write a lot of books, and although she has already maxed her writing skill, it’s not like it’s fast to write a book.

She has, however, written and published quite a few. Sadly, she has not gotten the chance for another award since that one book during the last update.

Thanks to Dawn’s fame, she gets sent advertising opportunities, and one of the first she got was for a cooking video. I decided to go ahead and get her a streaming bot and set up a little “garage” with a video editor in it. She has plenty of money.

Dawn gets busy uploading, editing, and then posting the cooking video she made. It wasn’t the best quality, but the advertisers were happy with the product she sent in. I am realizing I’ve only really somewhat played with this video editing portion of the game.

Dawn throws herself a little birthday party, and after baking herself a cake, she is ready to turn into an elder.

It’s hard to believe that Dawn is now an elder sim. This is her final lifestage, and while on one hand I’m ready for the challenge to be over, it will also be sad to lose Dawn.

Dawn continues to work on writing a bunch of books and getting them published.

She also spends some time watching TV while eating dinner. This has become a very relatable time in her life.

Luckily, Patchy is around to talk to fairly often, as Dawn does occasionally start to get lonely.

That’s how she found herself heading out to the club. She met her friend Candy there and gave her a big hug! Both are elder sims now, which is funny since Candy is most certainly not dressed like most elders would.

Dawn may be decently famous, and she might have kissed her way through a lot of sims, but there are some things she still does herself., like clean the toilet.

Dawn does head out into the snow one day to greet this sim. She was itching for another kiss, and Armani Goth was more than willing. He is unemployed, so that’s only 5 points, but that’s ok.

Another advertising opportunity came in, so Dawn quickly recorded something and got to editing it. I really should play with this more. After uploading, the advertisers were happy, and Dawn got some extra money.

Dawn decided to try and repeal the power NAP. It caused a lot of havoc at her birthday party, because the power had gone out. So she had to get a generator. While out, she is also able to introduce herself to some more unemployed sims.

She continues to talk with people, tries to get signatures, and introduces herself to people. She does catch up with Megumi Ito, who we actually never attempted to kiss, but did give us a big hug.

Dawn was still out trying to finish up getting signatures when it started to get dark, and while she met a lot of sims, no one was really interesting enough to kiss.

Eventually, she had met all the sims that were out and about and had finally gotten the final signature she needed to repeal the NAP. No more power outages!

The next day, it was back to normal for Dawn. Writing books in the morning.

Mixing up some food for the fridge and painting in the afternoon. Life was getting pretty consistent.

Dawb did come home with a new promotion. She’s going to be very close to maxing out a second career!

Dawn’s evenings after work are also pretty standard anymore. She checks the computer, works on some more writing, and sometimes has to fix the computer.

She has, however, after all this time, finally maxed the entrepreneur skill. I don’t know if I’ll count full points for these level 5 skills at the end, but it’s still an accomplishment!

I think Dawn’s sleep projection is determined to finish up a couple of skills for Dawn. Her projection spends a lot of time cooking and doing yoga nowadays.

It seems silly that I gave Dawn a money tree, as she doesn’t get any points for money at the end. Currently, she’s got more money than she needs.

Dawn got home from work, and this young lady, who is very pregnant, was standing outside our door. Dawn talked with her in the snow, although I did try and pull her inside.

Mara Summerdream is her name, and Dawn steals a kiss from her. Sadly, she is unemployed, so it’s only worth 5 points, but it was nice for Dawn.

Mara was apparently enjoying Dawn’s company as she followed her inside and upstairs to talk to her some more. She was clearly a cheerleader as a teen, although I can say from experience, she would NOT still be wearing the top while pregnant.

Dawn saw from Neighborhood Stories that Wayne Scott is now a Pro Gamer in the Video Game Streamer career. I’m not sure why I didn’t get a picture of her asking him (for confirmation), but either way, it’s a new job, so that’s 15 points.

After that kiss, Dawn went home and maxed out her programming skill! That will be worth 20 points at the end.

Dawn reached the branching path for this career and decided to head towards being a Start-up Entrepreneur, and is now The Next Big Thing.

There was an interesting new neighborhood story that Dawn heard about, so she headed out. At the home she visits, she meets a little girl who is a fan and gives her an autograph. She then greets the girl’s father, I believe.

He is who we came here for. He’s a module cleaner, which is a job we have not kissed. That is part of the astronaut career, and his kiss is worth 15 points.

Dawn has gotten an update to her little house, and things have been rearranged a fair amount. One of the things is a new kitchen, which Dawn uses to max out her cooking skill!

I haven’t been focusing on getting kisses for Dawn, but as another neighborhood story mentions a new sim in a new job, I send her out. There she greets this woman, probably right in front of her family, from the looks of it.

Orion here is an Angel Investor, which is a job in the Investor career. That means this kiss is worth another 15 points. Dawn has done really well these last couple of weeks.

Dawn is asked to record a new video, and this time it’s just a normal video where she talks to the camera. I really do like these opportunities; they are kind of fun.

Dawn’s astral self is getting pretty good at yoga by this point and seems to do a lot of it. I don’t think we are likely to see Dawn complete wellness, but we’ll see.

The next day, I take Dawn on another little outing. There she meets another fan, in a rather fancy mask. This whole outfit is something else. Still, Dawn gives her an autograph.

Then Dawn gets a kiss from Beth Chopra. She is a Food Service Cashier in the Fast Food Worker part-time job. Since we haven’t kissed a cashier before, this is worth 15 points.

The week is almost out when Dawn heads out into a snowier part of the world and meets yet another fan of her work. Dawn has been handing out quite a few autographs lately!

Kaitlin Vatore is a Corporal at the police station, which means she’s in the detective career. That’s a job we haven’t kissed anyone in, and so, while it looks like she’s kissing Caleb’s neck, it really was Kaitlin for 15 points. That wraps up Dawn’s week.

Thank you so much for reading! Dawn had a pretty good week, maxing a couple of skills, and kissing an additional 7 sims. That earned her another 85 points. The next update will likely be the final update of this challenge, so I hope you will come see how it concludes!

Points So Far: 2,230 Points (from kisses)

Hello and welcome back to another Sweet Lips challenge update! This is Dawn’s final week as an adult. The last time we saw Dawn, she finished up her time as an actress and joined the Tech Guru career instead. She visited a bunch of different houses and kissed 10 more sims. Let’s dig in!

Week 12

We find Dawn playing video games when we get loaded into her house. Patchy is also around and dancing his heart out to our little stereo.

I cannot remember why I “cared” about doing a couple of collection runs, but Dawn did some in a couple of different worlds. It does at least add to our skills a bit.

Once she is back at home, it’s time to do some additional skill work. Dawn starts off with painting. She’s still at level 8, I believe, but maybe it’s 7. Once the painting is done, she goes and does some yoga.

Dawn had her gaming console die and had to fix it, or at least it said it was broken, and then I had to reset it anyway.

To get out of the house and do something different, I sent Dawn to Cheasnut Ridge. There she went and spectated some horse competitions. It was a good way to spend a rainy afternoon.

It was still raining when she got out, but there were a couple of people standing outside. One is our old makeup artist, whom Dawn already knows well. The other was a new guy, though.

Even though it looks as though Dawn is kissing the older guy, he walked in between them as Dawn started the animation, and she is actually kissing Jody. He is a horse trainer, but we’ve already kissed one of those, so this is 5 points.

Back at home, this lady came over and just started chatting with Dawn, who then introduced herself. They started chatting and flirting with each other.

They moved inside and continued to flirt a bit on the couch in front of the TV. After a bit more time, Dawn is able to get that first kiss. Christie here is unemployed, so this is just another 5 points.

More repairs and some more painting keep Dawn busy. These skills will hopefully be ones we can max for more points by the end of this challenge!

Dawn came home with a promotion, and that promotion helped her finish the last leg of the Computer Whiz aspiration! She rolls again and gets Bestselling Author next, which might be tough, but we’ll give it a shot.

Dawn gets started on writing her first book right away. She already has a really high writing skill, thanks to the stylist career she was in at the beginning of this challenge.

While Dawn is out tending to the garden, she gains a new mastery perk. She can now Spacebend, which is actually pretty fun for her.

Needing to write for a while while she is inspired, Dawn eats a museberry from her Tree of Emotions and sits down to write. An elder Penny Pizzaz comes by to complain about our relationship and lets us know she might break up with Dawn.

Dawn’s needs have been really easy to keep in green. She usually only needs to eat once a day, although a snack before bed is often used to keep her good through to the morning.

Harvestfest is upon us, and unfortunately, it was also power conservation day, which is very, very annoying. So Dawn is going to go out for the day.

She visits the tiger conservation in Tomorang and even adopts a tiger. That gives her a cute little plushy she will put in her house.

Dawn realizes it’s been a long time since she visited Granite Falls, and maybe she’ll get lucky with a new park ranger.

There is indeed a new ranger, and one that happens to seem to like Dawn! This is great news for her, since the last one wasn’t into her.

Dawn is able to get a kiss from Inida Healy here, who is a new NPC Park Ranger. That means this kiss adds 20 new points for finally kissing a park ranger.

That night, Dawn’s projection is once again quite busy with learning some skills. I think this skillful sleep might get her further through some of these skills than we would have otherwise.

The next day, Dawn heads into the deep woods and meets a new hermit. Now it was a bit confusing, because she also had a job, but regardless, she isn’t into Dawn, so that was another bust, and Dawn heads home.

Dawn has been busy writing a bunch of books, and I decided to have her make copies of them before she submits them. I wish they would let you “buy” them once they were published, but oh well.

Dawn hunkers down to do some more writing, as we have a lot more books to publish, and I find it a little difficult to sometimes get bestsellers written.

Dawn scheduled a repair person to show up, and when she arrived, Dawn headed out to greet her. Apparently, doing it over the wall.

The repair lady was a fan, so Dawn gave her an autograph and then tried to romantically connect with her. This worked without issue, and she seemed into it.

Kiley was able to be kissed and added another 20 points for being a Repair Technician NPC! I had almost forgotten to get the service sims.

Video gaming has become one of Dawn’s sleeping apparitions’ favorite pastimes. She almost always spends at least some time gaming at night. She might be able to max video gaming by the end.

Dawn doesn’t actually eat that much, so she rarely needs to do a lot of cooking. When she does, however, she is most often making healthy food, thanks to her health food lifestyle.

Dawn continues to work on writing a bunch of books for her aspiration. You can see the flower she pressed a few updates ago on the wall in the back. It turned out really nice.

Dawn had a book actually get nominated for an award! If only I would remember to attend on Sunday (spoiler alert, we didn’t.)

Dawn painted a fun little painting that turned out to be a masterpiece. I decided to go ahead and keep it and hang it on the wall.

Ready to go out of the house for a little bit again, Dawn spies someone new she hasn’t met before and goes out to greet him. They chat for a bit, and Dawn gets to know him.

His name is Jayce, and sadly, he is unemployed, so worth only 5 points. Still, we have blazed through a lot of sims in the past, and it’s been nice to focus more on Dawn’s skills.

The week will come to a close with Dawn working on yet another book. She has written quite a few at this point and is going to be making a fair amount of money in royalties.

That will bring this update to a close. The next time we are with Dawn, she will have a birthday. She only kissed 5 more sims this week, for a total of 55 points. That’s still nothing to sneeze at for only 5 sims. Dawn completed another aspiration and skilled a lot, so all of that will help in the final score. Thank you so much for reading, and I really hope you will be here for the next update!

Points So Far: 2,145 Points (from kisses)

Hello and welcome back to another Sweet Lips challenge! The last time we were with Dawn, she had a decent week, earning another 130 points for kisses. She met quite a few sims, and did start working on the Computer Whiz aspiration. Let’s dig in!

Week 11

Dawn is going to be working more and more on building skills and completing aspirations, as she has kissed 144 sims already. She won’t stop kissing sims if she meets more interesting ones, but our focus is going to shift somewhat. That’s why, when we first join Dawn, she is painting.

After the painting is done, it’s time for some video gaming! Dawn is actually really close to level 9 of painting, I think, thanks to skillful sleep, and I believe video gaming is around level 5 so far.

Dawn had one final performance to give as an actress, and she completed her final performance with a lot of flair. Once this gig was done, Dawn quit her acting career; she kissed all the sims she was likely to get.

Now that Dawn has quit her acting career, she has joined the Tech Guru career for her new aspiration. When the computer breaks, she has to go fix it, since we need to do a lot with the computer.

Dawn heads out for the day because I think the power conservation NAP was in effect, and goes to Innisgreen. There she greets Iris, one of the premades that came with the pack.

Turns out Iris is a Nanny, which is actually part of the babysitter part-time job. That is a new job for us and thus earns a new 15 points!

She heads to a new house in Innisgreen since she didn’t recognize the resident, and it turns out to be a new sim. Dawn works to get to know him a bit more.

His name is Kade Gaines, and while he is employed, his job is a Producer. Since Dawn has kissed multiple producers, they are piling up like Mixologists; he is only worth 5 points.

Dawn heads to a new house and meets a mom and her son. She also uses their press to create a pretty pressed flower to take home.

Victoria Suarez is a stay-at-home mom. Her kiss only brings in 5 more points, but we are really just trying to wrap up visiting a few houses.

Once she is back in Windenberg, we see these two out and about, and Dawn introduces herself to both of them. I don’t know if they are a couple or not at first.

Turns out this lady in pink, who initially rejected our kiss, is actually Patella Skeleton, and is married to the temple guardian! I am pretty sure she is someone who would show up as a skeleton in certain circumstances, given her name, but I’ll just take the 5 points.

The final house I decide to have Dawn visit is back in Ravenwood. It’s a beautiful house and I love the big gates out front.

When Dawn arrives, she greets and sits down with this sim playing chess. They aren’t in a hurry, and it was nice for Dawn to be able to really relax and get to know him.

Obviously, we have already kissed a ghost, but it turns out Kai is a secret agent, which is actually the top of the secret agent career, and is brand new. That means he brings in 15 points!

There is another sim in this house, Takama Aether. Dawn meets him a couple of rooms over and is easily able to get a quick kiss. Takama is unemployed, but that’s still 5 points.

Since the Aethers live at the top of a hill, Dawn wanders down the path a little, just exploring, and runs into this sim, who is also “new” to her.

Turns out Lacy is another Producer, so even though Dawn gets another kiss, it’s only worth 5 more points. Still, this house was worth visiting.

Dawn may not spend a ton of time at home, but she does still have to eat, and often prepares big plates of food so she can eat leftovers whenever possible.

Dawn got a promotion, which is great! She works pretty long hours now, and a lot of the day I spend just speeding through her being at work, but I’m ok wth not having quite as much time to kill.

Dawn decides to head out to the nightclub in town. It’s been a long time since she just cut loose and had fun. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t meet people still, however.

Dawn’s old co-star is at the club, and she sits down and meets this new sim. They hit it off quite well, actually.

So even though it turns out Celene is a mixologist, Dawn still gives her a quick kiss. That gives us another 5 points.

Dawn meets a few more sims and goes to boogie on the dance floor for a bit. One of the sims she meets in Yasemin Tinker, who does have a different job, but Yasemin left before much could happen.

Karmine Luna does not have a job, although I do believe she might be a werewolf. Either way, Dawn goes ahead and gives her a quick kiss for 5 points.

Before she heads home, Dawn greets a few more guys at the club, but they are all unemployed as well, so Dawn calls it a night. She was getting tired.

That night, Dawn astral projects and can be found playing video games and doing some programming on the computer. Those are both really good skills to work on with her current job.

After work the next day, Dawn heads downtown and goes to a karaoke club to see if she can meet anyone interesting. The first couple of people aren’t all that exciting.

After they all leave, Dawn grabs some food and just hangs out for a bit. Finally, Miko actually arrives, and Dawn takes the chance to flirt with her.

Dawn was happy to have found a Social Justice Worker, which is a new job for her, and thus, Miko’s kiss is worth 15 more points. That is a great way to end the week, as with that kiss, our time with Dawn is done again.

Dawn only kissed 10 additional sims this week, and only 3 were worth more than 5 points, but Dawn did make progress on her current aspiration and worked on a lot of skills, which may bring us points at the end. She earned 80 more points this week thanks to kisses. Thanks so much for reading, and next, we will be heading back to Tara with the Eater Egg challenge!

Points So Far: 2,090 Points (from kisses)

Hello and welcome back to the next Sweet Lips update! We are already on Week 10 of this challenge. Can you believe it? The last time we were with Dawn she kissed a few more sims, and worked on her career as an actress and her aspiration in the jungle. Let’s dig back in!

Week 10

Much like the last few updates, when we join Dawn, she is in Selvadorada and is hacking her way through the jungle to what I think will be her final temple.

When she reaches the temple, she has to diligently work her way through the various traps. If she gets poisoned again, I do not know that I will save her this time, so she’s careful.

Dawn makes it without issue to the final room and opens the rare chest. That is the last thing she needed to complete the Jungle Adventure aspiration. She rolls for a new one and gets Computer Whiz.

On her way home, she stops by a house in Willow Creek, I’m pretty sure. There, she introduces herself to the residents she does not yet know. It was storming pretty good.

Emmitt sadly got hit by lightning, so Dawn coaxed him inside for a kiss. He is a Fry Cook, which is a new job title and a new career, as that is the Fast Food Worker part-time job. That’s worth 15 points!

Dawn did attempt to introduce herself to another resident, but discovered they were not into Dawn like that, so she left that house.

Summer Holiday’s house is next, and luckily, the storm was not here, so no reason to run inside or worry about lightning. They flirted for a bit and connected romantically.

Now Summer is a stay-at-home mom, and thus unemployed, so she is only worth 5 points, but this did make me think of something I can try, just for fun.

The next house (or maybe it’s the same house, I’ve lost track), there were twin girls who were both YA. Dawn went in and introduced herself to the first twin. They chatted for a bit.

Dawn discovered that this twin, Demi, is unemployed, so she is only worth 5 points, but since her sister was cooking, Dawn thought maybe she would have a job.

A little time, a little flirting, and Dawn finds out Patrice is also unemployed. She gets the kiss anyway for 5 additional points and moves on.

Dawn may have maxed her archeology skill, but at night, she still occasionally works on it. I really should sell this stand; it’s not like we really need it anymore.

Dawn brought home a little mini-sun from her last trip to the jungle, and as an even bigger surprise, Patchy suddenly is into Dawn. I’m not sure what made me try it, but this time we get the kiss! That’s 20 points, as Patchy is an NPC!

Another day and another house visited, where it is storming yet again. There was only a single guy living in this house, so Dawn introduced herself.

It turns out Takuya is a Mixologist, which of course means he might as well be unemployed. 5 additional points for the kiss.

Dawn remembers we had a new makeup tech when she was last an actress and discovers he lives in the next house she visits.

Now, Stephen might be a makeup artist, but we have already kissed one of those, the first one we met, so he is still only worth 5 points.

It’s finally some nice weather, so Dawn goes fishing for a bit. We can keep working on some skills while preparing for our next visits.

She meets Jacquelyn on the street, who is unemployed, and gets a kiss from her. That is another 5 points.

Instead of continuing to visit house after house, Dawn heads home and does some work around her house. She repairs and mops up the water from a broken set of plumbing, cleans the sink, and works on some writing.

Dawn is back to making house calls, and the first one is Travis Scott’s house. We do not end up kissing him as he is a Tech Guru, and we’ve kissed one of those already.

Dawn heads to the next house, where a little toddler is in his mom’s arms. That mom is who Dawn introduces herself to next.

Lia seems into it, and they emotionally connect. When Dawn goes in for a kiss, though, she gets a hand in the face. I’m surprised, normally as soon as the First Kiss option is up there isn’t an issue.

Dawn tries a simple flirt, and it’s reciprocated easily, so we know the issue isn’t that she’s not into Dawn. Dawn slows things down a bit and gets to know Lia better.

That did the trick, and Dawn is able to get the kiss. Lia is an Advice Columnist, which is a new job, so I’m glad we were able to get the kiss. This kiss is worth 15 points.

Dawn heads home again for a while and spends some time having fun. That last rejection hurt a fair amount, so Dawn plays some video games.

Dawn meets Akira, who does have a job. He’s a live support tech agent, but we’ve kissed a live tech support agent before, so Dawn doesn’t worry about kissing him.

She heads to a home where there are 3 “new” residents for her to meet. None of them have jobs, but she attempts to encourage them to pursue their dream jobs. Maybe that could get them into jobs that are new.

Dawn goes on a bit of an introduction spree and introduces herself to many sims. All of whom are unemployed, so Dawn doesn’t bother trying to kiss any of them.

Dawn has a very new awkward kiss with this lady. She met her and they hit it off, but she went and picked up her infant while Dawn was preparing to kiss her. It was a bit weird, but worth 5 points since Charlotte here is a stay-at-home mom.

Dawn moves on to Strangerville, I believe, and thought she had a good chance with this lady, but instead got a hand to the face.

Dawn heads to the next house right as a fire breaks out. Dawn runs into and puts the fire out, then greets the woman who started it. She isn’t interested in Dawn, unfortunately.

The next house finds residents enjoying their pool. Dawn sits down and chats with one of them.

It’s not long before Dawn gets a kiss, but I apparently never marked down who this was or how many points they were worth, so I popped into the game. This is Paloma Roble, and she is unemployed, so 5 points.

That night, Dawn heads home and dances the night away. She has a new gig in the morning, another TV episode.

When she arrives at work, Francis here is also arriving, and he is a background actor. Probably not on the same show Dawn is in, but he accepts a rose.

Dawn gets a kiss, and Francis worth 20 points for being an NPC we haven’t kissed yet. You would think Background Actor might have been one of the easiest, but oh well.

With that kiss completed, Dawn heads into the makeup artist and wardrobe departments to get ready for the show.

After practicing with her co-star, they are ready, and the performance goes off without much of a hitch. Dawn was a bit sad initially, but was able to pull it together and put on a good show.

Dawn had upgraded her TV and purchased a game system during a rebate day. That meant when Dawn got home from work, she decided to sit down and play some games.

It’s a rather rainy day when Dawn ventures out to another house and greets the residents there. They move inside rather quickly due to the storm.

After moving inside, Dawn is able to get a kiss from Olivia. She is a clickbait writer, which I had to check because I thought we had that job once before, but it turns out we did not, so that’s 15 points!

Dawn heads to a new house in Henford and introduces herself to Angela Plesant, as well as her wife. Neither have jobs, and so Dawn calls it a day at that house.

Dawn visits a new house in Chestnut Ridge and gets to know its resident, at least the one at home. He seems like a nice guy and gets Dawn’s autograph first.

Of course, he happens to be a mixologist, so Dawn only gets 5 points for the kiss. Still, it was at least something.

Dawn managed to break the shower, so before it flooded the whole bathroom, she took the time to fix it.

Her projection that night was all about enjoyment. First painting a bit, and then sitting down to play video games the rest of the night. Dawn had another busy week. That is, however, where we are going to wrap up this week. Dawn got another 130 points this week, which is still really good. We are nearing the end of her adulthood soon, so we might start to focus on aspirations and skills for the rest of the challenge. Thank you for reading. This chapter got fairly long, but I hope you will join me for the next update!

Points So Far: 2,010 Points (from kisses)

To Easter Egg | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Hello and welcome back to the Sweet Lips challenge! The last time we were with Dawn, she had a crazy busy week kissing lots of sims, and becoming an actress. She completed her archaeology aspiration and started the jungle explorer aspiration. She also finished the Alice’s Sorrow “quest.” Let’s dig in!

Week 9

When we rejoin Dawn, she is back in Selavadorada for another trip. She is also in the process of “blessing” someone with the totem.

After she heads into the jungle, the path to the baths is opened, and Dawn sees this lady and introduces herself. When she first entered, this lady was the only one in the area.

Grace is a Live Chat Support Agent, which is a new job in the Tech Guru career that we have not seen yet, which gives us 15 points!

Sadly, Dawn gets herself poisoned again. I will admit I had a moment of thinking maybe I would see if she could get through it herself, and if she died, then she died, but I just couldn’t do it to Dawn.

Before we do anything else, though, Dawn opens the chest that she was searching for first. It would not be worth getting poisoned if we left this behind!

When she gets back to town, she speaks with the man who gave her the last antidote, and luckily has plenty of bone dust to use to make another antidote.

Once she feels more herself, she attempts to chat with Dustin there, but mostly just “screams” at him and instead gets to know Clifford instead.

Clifford is a Mixologist, like so many Sims are, and thus he is only worth 5 points, but it’s still 5 new points!

As she gets ready to head back into the jungle to get to the temple, Dawn quickly stops to introduce herself to this small group of ladies. Moe is a stay-at-home mom, but Dawn earns another 5 points.

Tara heads back in and starts cutting her way through the jungle again, and gets poisoned AGAIN! Ugh, Dawn, you are not helping!

So, she once again leaves the jungle to head back to town and gets an antidote after introducing herself to this lady in bright yellow. Then she heads to her rental house instead of trying to go back into the jungle for the night.

Dawn is finally able to make her way to the temple the next day, no more poisoning. Inside, she gets to “insult” the temple totem to unlock the next room. I’m sure all the frustration probably helped.

Dawn gets to the final room and opens another rare temple chest. She will need to do this one more time in order to complete her aspiration. So one more trip to the jungle shouldn’t be too bad. This trip, however, is completed.

She goes home and recovers for a bit without going back out. It was a busy trip to the jungle and a lot of back and forth to the town. Dawn is ready to be at home for a bit.

When Dawn is ready to leave the house again, she heads to Tartosa and manages to get a kiss from the flower vendor. Sadly, he is JUST known as a “Vendor,” so Faiz here would only be worth 5 points, but I realized I messed up and didn’t count Cleatus as a Vendor back then, so we will make up for it now, 20 more points!

Dawn starts talking with this new vendor, who I believe sells cakes, but he is not interested in Dawn. I’m not sure if I got the notice that he doesn’t like Dawn in that way or just that he was not interested in interacting with her.

Dawn did introduce herself to….I’ve forgotten her name, and she made it clear she did not want that kind of relationship with Dawn. That’s fine. Dawn has kissed plenty of people lately.

Dawn was apparently not done, however, since Eliza is also apparently a vendor here. Dawn introduced herself and was able to perform a lot of actions with Eliza.

Before long, she got a kiss, but Eliza is only worth 5 points. Apparently, she left Bob, or got remarried, as she is now Eliza House.

I do not fully remember where Dawn went next, but wherever she was, Dawn quickly found herself connecting with this gentleman at the counter. He was very interested in Dawn.

Turns out this was Tomax, and he is a writer’s assistant. That is a new job for us and is part of the writer career and brings in 15 points! There are still a few new jobs out there!

Dawn’s sleeping apparition starts on a new painting, and I really wish they would just finish a painting now and then. They always start them, but then Dawn can’t finish them, so I have to just get rid of them.

That painting didn’t have a chance to get finished, though, since the aliens are once again interested in Dawn. Did they retune alien abductions or something recently?

Dawn still has her little garden, which has actually grown some, and her money tree is bringing in plenty of money every day for Dawn.

It’s a lovely day, so Dawn heads out to the park in Willow Creek, where she meets Gabriel Flores, who is unemployed. Dawn still gives him a quick kiss for 5 points.

Dawn heads to the gym, and instead of working out, she meets Morgan. Morgan accepted Dawn’s flirtations.

So she adds another 5 points to Dawn’s total. She is a stay-at-home mom and thus considered unemployed.

Wanting a bit of fun, Dawn heads to the club. She introduces herself to a few new sims, but there are many unemployed sims. Dawn can kiss them all, but in a crowd, it’s easier to be discerning.

Dawn goes in for a kiss with Leila, who is a Watercolor Dabbler. That is a new job in the painter career for us. 15 more points for Dawn!

Dawn had gotten hysterical, and while I was once again tempted to see if the challenge would just end early, I decided to have Dawn calm herself down.

When she got home, Dawn practiced some yoga. I believe this is the first time Dawn did this when she was awake. Her projection does it all the time, but it helps Dawn get ready for tomorrow. She has a new gig.

Dawn heads to the set, and we are in an apartment-looking area this time. Dawn spies this producer whom she doesn’t know and takes a chance. The producer seems really into it.

That means Dawn fulfills kissing her first producer NPC, and thus gets 20 more points for kissing Ella.

Dawn goes to introduce herself to the camera operators on set, and one of them isn’t interested in Dawn. The other, however, is open to Dawn’s flirtations.

Fuchsia, on this set, is a stationary camera operator who is a new NPC. That gives us a new 20 points!

Dawn then heads into hair and makeup, and we see our makeup artist is someone new, so Dawn makes sure to get to know him a bit, even though he initially messed up her hair. I didn’t get pictures of her performance this time, but once she was done, she headed home.

That evening, Dawn was skillfully sleeping when a burglar broke in. Dawn woke up and went and confronted Robin, whom we obviously know well, and she left without taking anything.

After the excitement of having Robin attempt to burgle us again, Dawn spent some time upgrading the burglar alarm a bit more.

I decided to try something new with Dawn and had her start visiting individual houses. There, she would introduce herself to the residents who were at least YA that she hadn’t met yet. The first house she visited was Katrina’s.

We have met Katrina before, but it has been a while. In all this time, she is still an Opening Act, the career she had when we first met her. She is part of the Entertainer career, and we amazingly have not kissed an Opening Act yet, so 15 more points!

Next up is the Goth house, where we get to know Cassandra through the gate for some reason. Gotta love Sims’ logic.

Cassie is unemployed, which actually surprised me a bit, but that’s ok. Dawn gets the kiss, and that’s 5 more points.

Dawn switches over to Bella, because of course, we need to get a kiss from Bella Goth; she’s just iconic. Dawn is hoping that she will be open to the flirtations, and of course, Dawn pulls out a rose.

It’s a success, but for some reason, I didn’t get a picture of her career. Bella is actually an Intelligence Researcher in the Secret Agent career. I was surprised, but it was totally fun. That means Bella is worth 15 points!

For some reason, I had it in my head that Dawn needed to max mischief. That is actually something Tara needs to do over with the Easter Egg challenge. Regardless, Dawn decides to sabotage one of the sinks.

Dawn finally heads home and starts working on her skills. I think we are going to start switching our focus to completing aspirations and skills rather than kisses at this point.

Sure enough, in a short period of time, Dawn has managed to max out her writing skill after completing another archeology book, just for fun.

Dawn makes sure to go take care of the garden, and then she also works on some paintings. She’s actually getting close to maxing her painting skill, so that would be good to complete.

I decide to go ahead and keep going through some of the houses, especially ones where Dawn doesn’t know anyone. Perhaps Dawn can find a few more sims with new jobs to kiss.

Antonio Herndon is this Sim, and he is unemployed and only worth a quick 5 points for Dawn.

Mr. Huntington the third is next up in the house, and while I kind of expected him to have a job, it turns out he is also unemployed. Still, it’s 5 more points.

Another house and another Sim, Dawn introduces herself too. She was just speeding through these Sims.

Candy does have a job, but it’s a job we have already kissed, so she is once again only worth 5 more points.

The romance festival is in town, so Dawn heads down. Sadly, the guru is the same lady we have had since the very beginning. I’m surprised she’s still alive. Regardless, Dawn is able to introduce herself to someone new.

Raj here is a Pastery Chef, which is actually part of the Chef career (not the Chef NPC). We have not found a pastry chef before this, so that’s a new 15 points!

Dawn goes and gets some tea, and finally manages to introduce herself to Dustin here, but then he wanders off. Instead, Dawn decides to get a painting done and grabs some of the plants for her garden.

Dawn spies someone new over by the punch and goes to say hello. I do love the ‘Throw Petals” option at the festival. It’s really quite cute.

They go and sit at a table with another couple of sims, and Dawn gets to be really social for the first time in quite a while. It was a nice, relaxing festival for her.

Of course, before she goes home, she makes sure to get a kiss from Anaya, who is an Illustrious Illustrator. That’s another new job, and it gives us 15 more points!

Once she is back home, Dawn spends some time doing yoga before bed. She has one final trip, probably, to Selvadorada to make next week, and I don’t know how much longer she’ll work as an actress since we have most of those kisses already.

It was another busy and productive week for Dawn. She completed a new skill and is close to completing another aspiration. Additionally, she kissed another 19 sims, which were worth 210 points. Thank you so much for reading!! I will be back tomorrow with a new post!

Points So Far: 1,880 Points (from kisses)

Welcome back to the Sweet Lips challenge. The last time we were with Dawn she had a stellar week of getting lots of kisses! She also maxed her archeology skill, completed the archeology scholar aspiration, and got the jungle adventure aspiration in return. Let’s dig in!

Week 8

When we first join Dawn, she is already back in Selvadorada. She now needs to get to the temple a few more times, but most of the aspiration will just require a couple of small things from Dawn since she has already spent so much time here.

While she waits for the food she ordered, and looks over what is being sold, she gets to know one of the guys also looking over what is being sold. She needs to grab a few extra supplies.

Turns out Naoki is actually a Senior Manager, which is part of the Business career. Unfortunately, we have already kissed a Senior Manager, Ekade Aether, so this is only worth 5 points.

Dawn then introduced herself to Morelia Vargas. She spends time flirting and emotionally connecting with her to get to the point where a kiss is possible.

Unfortunately for us, Morelia here is unemployed, but that isn’t terribly surprising here in Selvadorada. It’s still another 5 points!

Dawn spent some time at the bar in town and introduced herself to this gentleman. Might as well hang out before heading into the jungle.

Bruno Alvarado here is unemployed and thus only brings in another 5 points, but Dawn has gotten quite a few high point kisses lately, so it’s expected to have some lower points for a bit.

Heading out into the jungle, Dawn finds another new gentleman to introduce herself to. This enchanted introduction is really useful for this challenge.

His name is Roy Prescott, and while he is a new sim, he is also unemployed, so another 5 points for Dawn!

Dawn then spends some time getting to and inside the temple. She checks a few traps and then discovers she has a new head and base for a totem, so Dawn fuses a new one for future use.

Sadly, over the course of traipsing around the jungle and the temple, Dawn gets poisoned. I am half tempted to see if she can survive it on her own, and if not, this challenge would just be done. However, instead, she heads back into town and gets an antidote.

Dawn heads back to the temple and is able to bypass the rest of the traps without issue and get to the rare chest. That is something she has to do a couple more times for this aspiration. She also has to activate the totem, so we end up “blessing” Crispin.

It’s time for Dawn to pursue a new career, having already maxed out her stylist career. Now, she will focus on being an actress for a little while.

Dawn heads to a library somewhere in the world, I don’t remember which, and introduces herself to a few sims. None of them are either interested or stick around for Dawn to kiss.

Dawn instead heads out to Mt. Komorebi and the park there. While there, she is able to meet quite a few additional Sims.

Jenna here is a Team Leader, which is actually a new job for us. This is part of the Supervisor branch of the Salaryperson career. That means Jenna is worth 15 points.

Dawn then heads to the road by the park to introduce herself to this Sim. You may recognize this guy from our Gemstone Legacy over in the Insanity Project, as he’s married to our founder over there.

Sergio is actually Quality Assurance, a job in the Tech Guru career, and he’s the first, so that means 15 more points added to the total.

Heading elsewhere, I feel like this was the rec center, but I’m not entirely sure. Dawn introduces herself to another new sim.

Gavin here is a blogger. That is part of the writer career. We have not kissed a Blogger yet, so that is another 15 points. Dawn is really checking off a lot of new jobs.

Before she is done for the day, Dawn meets Travis Scott. Nothing further happens with him, and Dawn heads home.

She is still attempting to get Patchy to come to life and spends some time outside. She has been traveling a lot lately.

We get news there is a festival in Ravenwood, but I do not remember which one. I want to say Thinned, but can’t say for sure. There, Dawn introduces herself to the Mysterious Merchant.

He’s officially unemployed, but Waylon Warez is an NPC and thus worth 20 points. I was so happy he was interested in Dawn!

Ermine is one of the Grimterns who was at the festival, and so Dawn introduced herself. Since Ermine was technically working the festival, Dawn went home without a kiss.

But she invited Ermine over after the festival was done and got the kiss then. This is our first Grimtern, and that gives us another 15 points. It was quite a successful festival trip.

Dawn is happy to be home, but while just wandering around, runs across a new sim she does not know and introduces herself.

Duane, here is a Bakery Stall vendor, and while this is a type of Vendor, it is a very specific one. Looking at the sim information, almost all of the others just say Vendor, so I’m counting this as a new NPC for 20 points.

Dawn hasn’t just been kissing Sims. She took a gig and got an audition, which she passed without any issues. She’s going to be in Growing Up Crumplebottom, which is just too funny.

Dawn needs to study some acting, so she decides to stay in and work on it. While she is working on acting, she unlocks Mental Muscles. Of course, we say yes.

Sadly, Dawn was struck by lightning while trying to tend the garden during a storm. Luckily, Patchy has finally come to life, so Dawn introduces herself before pulling him inside.

Sadly, when Dawn went to flirt with Patchy, he told her he wasn’t interested in her in that way. That was disappointing. Oh well, we have plenty of other options.

So instead of dwelling on Patchy, Dawn heads out to Tomorang, I believe, and greets this Sim just standing around.

Kasem Bun Ma is one of the Sims that came with the pack, and he is an Independent Consultant. That is a job in the Startup Entrepreneur career, and it is a new job for us. That gives us a new 15 points.

Next, Dawn stops this lady on the street and introduces herself. I wasn’t sure if Dawn would get very far, but after a bit of flirting, it was clear she was interested.

This is Citra Chanigo, and while she is unemployed, she was happy to give Dawn a new kiss. She brings in a new 5 points.

Dawn introduced herself to the newest Sim to walk up to them, and pretty soon, Citra left them alone, and Dawn was able to get to know her better.

Zhafira is a Reflexologist, but sadly, we kissed one of those a couple of updates ago, so that means we only get another 5 points. That’s ok, we will see a lot of duplicates of some of these jobs.

Dawn decided to head out to one of the bars to see if there were some new Sims around and met this guy.

Jordon here is a Bar Regular, which means he is actually unemployed. That’s ok, Dawn gets the kiss for 5 more points.

Inside, Dawn tries to flirt with this lady, but discovers she isn’t into Dawn. That’s fine, Dawn has had a lot of success this week so far.

She moves over to the table and meets Alex instead. They share some time together and then Alex leaves the bar. No kiss yet for Dawn!

Remembering that we met Knox Greenburg a few updates ago, Dawn invites him over, and they practice some acting together.

After practice was completed, Dawn gave him a kiss. He is an Elite Hacker in the Oracle branch, but he is also the Eco Master NPC sim. That means he is worth a total of 30 points!

The next morning, Dawn makes herself some breakfast. It’s her first day on set as an actress, and she needs to be ready.

When she arrives, a bunch of Background Actors are also making their way inside. Dawn introduces herself to Collin, and we thought he was going to be a good choice.

Sadly, when Dawn went to kiss him, I must have forgotten to flirt first, and Collin shut her down right away. No kiss for Dawn, and now she’s sad.

Dawn went to get into hair and makeup, but stopped by to see the wardrobe guy first. She introduced herself, and he was quite taken with Dawn.

She was easily able to get a kiss from him, and that gives her another 20 points. The Wardrobe Stylist is an NPC.

Dawn heads into hair and makeup and introduces herself to the makeup artist. There were a few other people in there as well, but we didn’t introduce ourselves to them yet.

When the makeup artist is ready for Dawn, she sits down to get her hair done and get the makeup set for her role.

When that is all completed, Dawn thanks Aanya with a quick kiss. That gives us another 20 points for a new NPC.

Dawn goes back to the wardrobe department to get her outfit for this shoot. Once that is done, she heads out to meet her co-star for this series.

Elle Syu is actually an Actress in the Actress career, and she is the Co-Star NPC, so we are going to count all of the above and get 30 points for kissing her.

Dawn goes through the required piece of her performance, although the kissing scene did not go as anticipated, so it wasn’t a perfect performance.

After it was all said and done, Dawn went over to greet the Director. We find out her name is Tatiana Crandall.

Dawn levels up their relationship enough that she is able to get a kiss out of the deal. Tatiana brings in another 20 points for being the NPC Director.

Dawn leaves work with a promotion. So the slightly less than perfect performance didn’t ultimately matter in the end.

Dawn decides she is a big peckish and heads to the restaurant I set up in Newcrest. There, she introduces herself to the hostess.

Before getting seated, Dawn flirts her way into a kiss with the Hostess, who is named Evie Delgato. She is a new NPC and thus brings in another 20 points.

Dawn has a glass of nectar with her salad and enjoys a quiet meal before heading home and working on her writing a bit.

The next day, Dawn wants to go finish up the task that Alice set out for her and find Edith’s grave. That wasn’t overly difficult, but will Dawn be able to talk with Edith?

Amazingly enough, yes, she is able to. She hears the story of Edith’s passing and is able to comfort her a bit. Edith tells her about the well and offers her mark to Dawn. I didn’t have Dawn get the mark of Edith, but it was cool to actually get that far with Edith in one go.

Along the path on the way back to town, Dawn meets Gulliver. This was a fortuitous meeting!

Gulliver is actually the chef at the restaurant Dawn just ate at. It doesn’t take long to get a kiss, and that gives us another 20 points as he is an NPC chef.

Dawn heads back to Alice to give her the news about Edith, and Alice grants us access to the Guardian Tree. I’m not entirely sure what that does for us, since I have never done this yet, but that’s exciting!

On her way back home, Dawn runs into the ghost of Lou Howell. He apparently died due to story progression, but that won’t stop Dawn from greeting him.

Lou was unemployed when he died, and since we kissed a ghost already, he will only bring 5 more points to the challenge.

Instead of heading home immediately, Dawn decided to do a quick spot of fishing. I’m not sure she caught much, but I had decided to work on some skills as we were getting through so many kisses.

For her aspiration, Dawn has to use the totems multiple times. So, once she is back in Windenburg, she does just that.

Dawn greets a couple of new sims, and one of them turns out to be Dani. Dani, in this save, has become a Mixologist, which means her kiss is only worth 5 points, as we have kissed many mixologists already.

I found it very funny that Dawn was able to “bless” Ms. Crumplebottom from the top of this path while she was moonbathing under the street light. It was just such a funny scene to me.

As she was headed back to her house, she stopped this older man and introduced herself to him.

Turns out Lary is a Wildlife Technician, which is a part of the Conservationist career and a new one. That brings in 15 more points!

To wrap up the week, Dawn is back home and working on some painting. She is actually getting close to maxing this skill, and that will be worth some points at the end. With that, week 8 is complete, and we are likely at least halfway through this challenge!

Dawn had another killer week, this week! She kissed another 23 new sims for a total of 335 points! That is now the best week that Dawn has ever had. Starting in the Acting career helped a lot, as there are so many NPC sims in that career. I will be back with another update soon. Thank you so much for reading!

Points So Far: 1,670 Points (from kisses)

Hello and welcome back again to the Sweet Lips challenge. The last time we were with Dawn Cobb, she had an amazing week, kissing many NPC sims, and a couple of new lifestates. Let’s dig back in!

Week 7

When we are first back with Dawn, she is once again working on authenticating all the new artifacts she came back home with. We still need an excellent artifact or two.

After she is done, it’s time to head out on the town for a bit. She starts by heading to Cheasnut Ridge, and no one interesting is at the bar, but she greets Sierra out by the road.

Luckily for us, Sienna is totally open to a kiss, so Dawn steals one. Sienna is a Horse Trainer, which is actually an NPC role from this pack. That nets us another 20 points.

After her trip to the Ridge, she then swings over to Tomarang and meets Mateo Markovi.

Dawn manages to get a kiss from Mateo, who is a professional pianist. That’s not our first one of those, so kissing him only gives us another 5 points.

Salome Palacios is greeted by Dawn, and after sharing a romantic connection, she gets another kiss. Salome here is unemployed, so she only brings in 5 more points.

After the kisses of the day, Dawn is back to authenticating. She is, once again, quickly running out of artifacts to authenticate and still needs 2 excellent, or maybe it’s just one, either way.

Sadly, the normal work of the day-to-day still has to be done as well. Dawn broke and then had to repair the sink before she could crawl into bed for the night.

She is then, however, back in the jungle, or at least Selvadorada. This time, while working at an established excavation site, she meets Bess. Bess wanders off before anything else can happen, though.

Over at the selling tables, Dawn then introduces herself to this chap, who I would think would be warm in the jungle. Much like with Bess, he wanders off before much else can happen.

Into the jungle she goes, where she greets this lad who happens to not be interested in Dawn like that, and so she continues her excavations.

Who should stumble onto Dawn’s camp but the man from the selling table earlier? Turns out his name is Jorge and he is, sadly, unemployed.

While it’s a bit disappointing, it’s not surprising, and Dawn goes ahead and gives him a kiss. He does bring in 5 more points after all.

Near the waterfall, Dawn meets this Sim, but they are also not interested in Dawn, so she cuts her losses and moves on with her exploration.

Malena is more inclined towards Dawn when we meet her at the baths. Dawn gets a kiss, and while Malena is unemployed as well, that’s still another 5 points.

Dawn is back out of the jungle and greets this sim, but sadly, once again finds someone not interested in her to get a kiss from. With that, Dawn’s trip is done.

When she is back at home, Dawn gives Bess a call. Bess was receptive to Dawn’s advances. She is a Construction Technician, which is part of the Civil Designer career. That gives us another 15 points.

Shortly after that, Dawn finally maxes out the archaeology skill. That means she is one step closer to finishing up her aspiration, and that will give us points at the end.

She may have maxed the skill, but that doesn’t mean she is done uncovering and authenticating artifacts. She still has to find another excellent one to finish this milestone!

One thing we did have Dawn do was start a small garden. She put a Patchy in place and spent a bit of time talking with him. I’m hoping we can get a kiss from Patchy, as he is a special sim.

Dawn is back to travelig to other areas of town and meets Sofia. She is a member of the Paragons, which I actually remember from our Easter Egg challenge. She is receptive to Dawn.

Dawn gets the kiss and another 5 points. Sadly, Sofia is unemployed. We have hit a bit of a lull with finding new jobs.

Dawn meets Alice Fitzgerald, who I thought might have a job. Sadly, she does not, but Dawn gets the kiss anyway and another 5 points. We might just crawl up the score chart 5 points at a time.

Dawn attempts to introduce herself and flirt with this sim, whose name I believe is Nin Bun Ma, but I could have that mixed up. She isn’t interested in Dawn, though, so we mark her off and move on.

We do manage to get a very quick kiss from this sim, named Lerato Sarpong, but she is also unemployed and thus only brings 5 points.

I then got really confused, because Dawn was able to introduce herself to Johnny Zest, whom I was sure we had kissed before. I went back through my notes and my blog and found out I made a big mistake. Malcom Landgraab is the unemployed Landgraab we kissed, NOT Johnny here.

Johnny here is actually an Open Mic Seeker, like I thought he was. This makes the confusion I suffered back then make a lot more sense. Anyway, this kiss gives us 15 points since that is a new job.

At the same bar or cafe, Dawn manages to get a kiss from Carlos. Carlos is a Rookie, which is another new job for us and brings in another 15 points!

After that, it was time for Dawn to go to bed and let her astral self do some skilling. Not that she needed to work on archaeology, since that’s maxed now.

The next day, Dawn is up and tending to the garden. It’s going to be a beautiful day, it looks like. After chatting to Patchy, who hasn’t woken up quite yet, Dawn heads out.

She heads to Copperdale and visits the school. There, she introduces herself to the cafeteria worker and the janitor and finds out neither of them is interested in her. That was quite the bust as those NPCs would have been good points.

Dawn then interrupts class. Well, not actually, the class had just ended, but we were hoping Gary Hernandez would be receptive to Dawn.

Sure enough, he was and he is a Class 1 Teacher, which is a new NPC role and gives us 20 new points!

Leaving the school behind, Dawn goes in search of new sims and finds out she has never greeted Ulrike here.

Thanks to Dawn standing on the street with Ulrike on the edge of the sidewalk, they share a couple of rather awkward kisses. Ulrike is an Art Book Collector, which is a new job for us and thus gives us another 15 points.

Dawn introduces herself to Yuki, who is interested in Dawn, but she is unemployed for now, so I decided to leave her for now and see if maybe she gets a job via story progression soon.

Back at home, Dawn has another sink she has to repair. I think she might have gone to bed after this, but I’m not 100% sure of the timing anymore.

Remembering that Sara Scott is not a mixologist, I sent Dawn over to Henford. I did not expect Sara to be very receptive to us, but to my surprise, she is.

Sara is a Pub Owner, which is a unique NPC, and she counts for 20 new points! Way to go, Dawn! We have had some good luck lately again.

Dawn does an enchanting introduction to a couple of sims right outside the Pub. One of those is the mayor of the town.

She chats a bit with both and discovers the guy is not interested in Dawn, but the mayor does not seem so picky and accepts Dawn’s flirtations.

Dawn goes in for a kiss, and Harley here accepts. Harley is not the normal Village Mayor, but she is the mayor now, and that means she is a new NPC and worth 20 points!

Dawn goes and introduces herself to a few more sims and gives them an archeology lecture. It’s a nice day, and they seem receptive to hearing about archeology from Dawn.

It was good enough that Dawn completed her aspiration! I roll for a new one, and wouldn’t you know it, we got Jungle Adventure now. I guess our time in Selvadorda is not yet behind us.

Shaquille was impressed with Dawn’s talk, and she was able to get a kiss before she left. Turns out Shaquille is a grocery deliverer, which is an NPC we haven’t kissed yet! She gets 20 points.

Dawn reviewed the story progression updates and found that Simon Scott had gotten a job we didn’t have. It may have been new or maybe a promotion, but either way, Dawn heads out to put her moves on him. She’s already kissed his wife, so why not?

Sure enough, Dawn is able to get the kiss, and Simon is a Cadet at the Police Station. This is one of the levels of the Detective career, so we count it as a new career and get 15 points!

It was a busy day for Dawn, and she heads home to make herself some food before bed. She is going to need to take more trips to the jungle for this new aspiration, and she is going to join the actor career.

That night, while she slept, Dawn’s astral projection played a lot of video games. I guess her subconscious might have wanted some fun!

The week isn’t over, though, and Dawn is up the next day, which is a gloomy morning. She tends the garden and prepares for the day.

Thanks to story progression, we know that Max Villareal should have a job that we haven’t kissed yet. Dawn stops by for a visit. They flirt and chat on the couch for a bit.

Dawn goes in for the kiss, and Max accepts. He is a Net Demon, which is part of the Criminal career, but we haven’t kissed a Net Demon, so he’s worth 15 points.

It was going to be a festival in Ravenwood, so Dawn heads out and instantly introduces herself to this gentleman, whose wife was right behind her.

His wife was not really happy when Dawn kissed him, but he’s a Command Center Lead in the astronaut career, and I wanted those 15 points!

To show there are no hard feelings, and Dawn isn’t interested in her husband exactly, Dawn flirts with her, too. Turns out she isn’t interested in Dawn, but that’s ok.

Dawn meets Cecilia in the town square and introduces herself. I figured Cecilia might not be interested in Dawn, but she never said she wasn’t.

Turns out she is a Freelance Programmer, and we haven’t kissed a freelance programmer yet, so she is worth 15 points!

A new Inheritance Lawyer is sitting at the desk, so Dawn goes over and he is very familiar. Turns out he was one of the mailmen we introduced ourselves to, but never kissed.

Dawn takes the opportunity, cause who knows when we might meet a new inheritance lawyer who is into Dawn. That is a new NPC, and while his career won’t count, it’s still 20 points!

That evening is the romance festival, and while Dawn shows up a bit early, it works out for her. Juan Jose Pacheco here is unemployed, but good for 5 points.

The festival begins, and Dawn introduces herself to a couple of different guys, neither of whom is interested in Dawn. Too bad, Dawn. Time to try someone else.

Maybe the pink suit should have tipped Dawn off, but sadly, this guy is also not interested in Dawn, even though she pulls out a few moves.

Dawn finally has some luck with Zoe Flex, who, sadly, is unemployed, but it’s still a kiss! That gives Dawn 5 more points.

Dawn sees the Apothecary worker and attempts to introduce herself and flirt with him, but turns out he is also not interested in Dawn like that. Poor Dawn, the week went really well, but here at the end, she ran into a lot of roadblocks.

That, however, wraps up this week for Dawn. She really did have a great week! We added another 285 points. This is now officially her biggest week, point-wise! She has kissed a total of 89 Sims so far, 23 of them this week! Thank you for reading, and I hope you are enjoying Dawn’s antics. If you have, come back soon for the next update!

Points So Far: 1,335 Points

Hello and welcome back after quite a while to the Sweet Lips challenge! The last time we were with Dawn Cobb, she had attempted to woo Agnes Crumplebottom for fun, maxed her career, and kissed about 9 more sims. Let’s dig in!

Week 6

When we are back with Dawn, the first thing we do is celebrate her birthday. Dawn is officially a full adult. Dawn needs to get moving if she wants to get a bunch more kisses done before she is an elder.

One of the first things Dawn does is take a new trip to Selvadorada. Since she is currently working through the archaeology scholar aspiration, she needs to spend some more time in the jungle.

While there, she runs into Michael Bell, who is typically the creature keeper NPC from Cottage Living.

Sure enough, he is the Creature Keeper, but he also happens to have a job. He is a Leader of the Cause, which is a charity organizer position. That means this kiss is worth 30 points for us!

She heads to the museum and tries to introduce herself and get to know more Sims. This guy is initially taken with Dawn, but then lets us know he isn’t interested in that way.

So, Dawn moves on to Oliana. She is much more interested in Dawn and in flirting with her.

Dawn’s enchanting introduction makes it pretty easy to get the next kiss. After talking with Oilana, we learn that they are a Personal Trainer, which is a position in the bodybuilding career. That means Oliana’s kiss is worth 15 points.

Dawn quickly gets another kiss from Anya, which brings in another 5 points. While she is employed, she’s a mixologist, like so many Sims. Since we already got points for a mixologist, she is just “new.”

Dawn got a lot of kissing done, so she heads to the archaeology table near the courtyard to get some work done before her time here is done. There may be a lot of unemployed Sims in this world, since it was a vacation world, but Dawn has done well so far.

When she is back from her trip to the jungle, Dawn seeks out the spa. There she meets and gets a kiss from Luz, who is a Massage Therapist. That brings in 20 new points for a new NPC.

She then manages to meet this lovely lady, whom I really didn’t expect to get very far with, as her mood was a bit low. Dawn was able to cheer her up in no time, however.

Elosie is a Reflexologist here at the spa, which is another NPC role, and that gives us another 20 points. Dawn is really on a roll this week so far!

After her time at the spa, Dawn heads into Strangerville. Her first stop is the little Curio Shop, where she gets to know Erwin a bit. She then gets a kiss from him as well. This is another 20 points for a new NPC.

Dawn heads to the bar nearby and finds it full of Military Personnel, which is another NPC role. Now all she needs to do is find one that is into her.

It seems at first that Saul is totally into it, but then Dawn gets rejected. I had missed doing a flirt first to make sure he liked her like that, and instead got a hand to the face. Poor Dawn!

Heading back into the bar, Dawn finds this lovely lady. Her name is Margarita, and she is much more interested in that kind of relationship with Dawn.

I did not get a picture of it, but like Saul was, she is a Sergeant Minor at the Stangerville Military Base. That means her kiss is worth 20 more points for being a new NPC.

Dawn heads out to Brichtchester, hoping to maybe find a teacher or someone wandering around, and instead finds a Brainiacs Member. Now I’m not 100% sure this counts as an NPC, but as I’m pretty sure the game generates or assigns sims to the club, I’m going to count it.

They share a bit of time together, because he wasn’t ready right away to be kissed, and Dawn wanted to make sure he liked her before trying to kiss him. She learned he is a stay-at-home dad.

He was into it, and Dawn gave him a kiss. I’m counting this as 20 points for a new NPC, but they can be hard to tell once in a while.

Before leaving the library, she meets Eva Volkov. Eva was quickly a friend and really into Dawn, so we grabbed a kiss before we left. She is unemployed and only worth 5 points, but it’s another kiss down.

Dawn decided to make a quick stop by the bar at the university and met this guy, but I don’t remember his name. Regardless, he wasn’t into Dawn like that, so we left.

Making a quick stop at a spot in Del Sol Valley, Dawn introduced herself to this guy. We’ve already kissed a paparazzi, so we’re not going to spend time on them currently.

Gideon here is a Fan, however, and that is an NPC we have not kissed yet. So Dawn quickly gets that done and gives us another 20 points for a new NPC. Thanks, Gideon!

Judith Ward shows up then, and Dawn attempts to interact with her, but doesn’t have any luck. That’s ok, I have plans for Dawn!

Before all that, though, back at home, Dawn works on her aspiration. She brought back quite a few artifacts, but she is at the point of needing to authenticate excellent-quality items. She is quickly running out and is likely going to need another trip to the jungle.

Before that, though, Dawn has the pieces needed to put together one of the totems. We haven’t found all the bases or tops, but we have a couple at least.

That night, Dawn’s astral projection gets up to quite a few things. First, she does some yoga, then it’s time to get some writing in.

Then she works on some cooking, does some painting, and even works on some herbalism. Really, Dawn gets a lot done at night, thanks to the projection. She’s even up to level 4, I think, of wellness and has never practiced yoga while awake.

Dawn loses power while authenticating the last artifact she has, thanks to the NAP, and it’s not an excellent quality vase anyway, so it’s a perfect time to head back to the jungle.

Dawn got lucky and was able to establish an excavation site right in the courtyard area of Selvadorada, meaning she didn’t have to traipse into the jungle just yet.

She introduced herself to a couple of sims, although no one that interesting, and/or interested in Dawn. Instead, she decided to just move on.

Dawn set out into the jungle again and found a nice little excavation site and set up a quick little camp. I actually think this works really well and is super cute. She worked until it was just too dark to see and went to bed.

She did get to deal with some spiders when she woke up, and she completed the excavation and moved deeper into the jungle.

She got to the temple and founded a new excavation site just outside of the main portion of the temple and got to work.

She came across the temple guardian again, who cannot be romanced, but he kept her company while she made camp in the temple for the night. The next day, she explored the temple and went home.

It was time for a quick stop in Innisgreen to get the other lifestates that came with that pack kissed. Dawn finds a plantsim swinging away and gives her an enchanted greeting.

They exchange plants, Dawn giving a rose, and the plantsim giving us a plantsim seed.

Dawn gets the kiss, and that gives us 25 more points for kissing a new lifestate, plantsim. Anna here is unemployed, though, so no additional points for that.

Oberon stops by, and Dawn quickly enchants him as well. Pretty sure he should be into us in that way.

Sure enough, we get another kiss, and cross off another lifestate. That leads to another 25 points, since Oberon is also unemployed.

Dawn does make an introduction to Glen, the gnome enthusiast, but he’s not into Dawn like that, so no kiss from him.

Dawn tries the Mystical Fairy next and finds out she is also not interested in Dawn in that way. They are starting to make me wish I had started with a male sim. Oh well, we will just have to move on.

Care Ren, which is just too funny a name now that I “say” it to myself as I type this, is next up for Dawn to attempt to kiss.

Finally, Dawn has a successful flirtation and manages to get a kiss. Obviously, we’ve already kissed a fairy, but since she is a Fairy Council Liaison, which is an NPC role, that will give us 20 points.

Dawn switches neighborhoods and checks out the gnome statue. She also verifies it’s Glen running the stand here, and then it’s time for her to head home.

It’s back to authenticating for Dawn. This mask is just too much. I’m not entirely sure I ever remember seeing this fake version before. They didn’t even TRY to make it seem authentic!

This knife is also pretty funny. Also, somehow, in all my time playing, I never noticed that the knife handle is actually a face. The things you can still learn in this game!

The week is just about over, and Dawn was pretty successful this week. She got a lot of kisses in and made really good progress on her aspiration. She also quit her job as a stylist, as we have plans for her.

Dawn may be sleeping when the week ends, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t busy skilling. Now she is even working on her archaeology skill at the table, and somehow managed to multitask well enough to paint and work on herbalism at the same time.

With that, however, the week comes to a close. Dawn added 245 points to her total this week in kisses. That’s the most she’s ever gotten in a single week. She kissed 13 Sims this week, and only two were less than 15 points. She is also nearing completion of her next aspiration, but we will count all those points at the end. I hope you enjoyed the update. Thank you for reading, and I hope you will come back for the next update!
