Kevin and Thea's BIOMY Home
Guess who's computer broke down? Thankfully, my sims save was backed up and I could retake the last screenshots needed!
For Kevin and Thea I picked a more modern/industrial look because I think that they value functionality a lot with their Raven upbringing (also I wanted to build houses in different styles).
Individual posts for each house: [The Villa] [Minyard-Josten] [Katelyn+Aaron] [Allison+Renee] [Matt+Dan] [photoshoot]
Downstairs we have an open plan that can eventually be closed down, with a little play nook for John since Thea mentions she likes to keep an eye on him while cooking. They also got two cars, since they're both playing in different teams.
Upstairs we have a small laundry room right by the stairs, the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and closet on the left side, and in the middle a guest bedroom. On the right we see John's room, a shared bathroom, and the office space/place where Kevin sleeps when he's snoring too much.
The entrance is at an open landing, with their many medals and trophies right where you leave your keys, because why not? They have an enourmous TV for when Wymack visits and watches games with them (and yes, you can see a portrait of Kevin with Andrew and Neil at the Olympics in the living room)
They have a big kitchen and, don't worry, the wine bottles are purely decorative. John's space has a lot of drawings, because I figured this could be a cute way for him to express himself since he doesn't talk, and everything is space themed because Freddie's room used up most of the other items (special attention to the gallery wall, please. I just know Kevin and Thea are the hottest couple in Exy history)
Kevin and Thea's bedroom and bathroom follow the same style as the house, but I think even with all the brick and metal it looks cozy! The door by the mirror is the one that leads to the bathroom, which you have to cross to get to their shared closet (the door seen by the toilet).
John's room follow the space theme, and is one of the few spaces I could fit tinted windows. I can see this space evolving to a really cool teen bedroom when he grows up!
And finally, the other upstairs spaces. I know the bathroom mat is a basketball court, but let's all pretend is an Exy one. There's also a bunch of city posters around the house, I put them up as if they were photographs Kevin took while traveling. And of course the office carries not only their first Court uniforms, but more trophies, because they're good enough to have a B-list selection of their awards.
As always, inspired by the fic Blame it On My Youth, by @yourficstheyglow

And then they all settled into the break room to watch the latest Season Premiere! Yes, because it just so happened to be that particular pop-up holiday, and I was like, "Well, they have a nice big TV right here." XD They thoroughly enjoyed the shows on offer, though about midway through Smiler and Alice both got distracted by flirting with Victor. XD But they watched enough of them all to complete the tradition, and that's what matters!
And better yet, by the time they'd all completed their required watching, the blizzard had cleared up, and the snow outside was starting to melt as it was in fact now kind of warm! "All right," I thought cheerfully, "let's just get a picture of the trio in front of their new store, and then we can open!"
...yeah, uh, that ended up TAKING SOME DOING. The first issue I ran into was when I tried to set up the tripod myself at the edge of the lot and have Alice set the timer for a picture -- apparently it was too close to the front of the store, meaning that instead of standing OUTSIDE the store as I'd intended, the group went INSIDE and stood behind the flower-arranging bench in front of the windows. Which, might have been okay if I believe Alice hadn't been entirely blocked by the shelves of flowers. XD So I had to put the tripod and camera back in Alice's inventory and have her place them in the world in the middle of the road, hoping the tripod would face the right way when she did. Fortunately, she did put it down facing the store, yay. First hurdle passed!
Second hurdle -- uh-oh, Smiler is feeling the thirst. Well, fortunately, that is easily taken care of -- they always carry a bunch of plasma packs and plasma fruit. They sipped on that while Victor and Alice had a little make-out session, and ended up refreshed enough that I didn't have to worry about shitty needs while taking the picture. Second hurdle passed!
And then we came to the third hurdle -- ACTUALLY GETTING THESE IDIOTS TO TAKE THE PICTURE. Dear lord, this was SUCH a thing. Because either Alice would go to set the timer, and then just IDLE there for long enough that I would think something had gone wrong and cancel the interaction, or while "waiting for the photographer" Smiler would randomly wander off down the road, and if I tried to teleport them back into position by changing poses when Victor and Alice got in front of the camera, they would end up merged INTO Alice, which, not good. FINALLY getting the shots I wanted took so long that not only did I have to have them change clothes halfway through as they were too hot in their winter wear, it was SUNSET by the time I went "FINE I'M TURNING AUTONOMY OFF SO YOU CAN'T MOVE." *facepalm* Granted, I actually think the sunset photos look pretty cool, and I was happy with the photos once I got to take them, but cripes. Make me suffer for my cute threesome shots, why don't you, game?
