[Day Twenty-Two] Final Rose

Rowan Paris had 67.4% of the final votes & is Fern's final rose pick. He was the first contestant to walk through the doors to the bachelorette mansion. He was the first crush Fern developed & the chemistry between these two was undeniable from the very start. He may be 20 years her senior; but these two haven't nor will they let that be a factor in their relationship. I love that he can be funny & goofy with her, make her laugh uncontrollably or even get deep & have some heart to heart conversations. They can go out & have fun together or just spend some quality time in each others company. Thank you SO much @theosconfessions for submitting this hunk; I've had an absolute blast playing with him & getting to know his personality. I can't wait to continue to play with them & see where their life together leads them!

Which means, unforuntately, with 32.6% of the votes Gabriel was asked to leave the mansion. Thank you SO freakin' much @aniraklova for submitting Gabriel. I truly love him so much & for awhile I really thought he was going be the final pick. I can guarantee he will be in Fern's life long term; the connection they had was so intense!

Thank you to every single person who submitted a sim for this challenge. It was my first ever time doing a challenge like this & I had so much more fun than I thought I would! I appreciate you all taking the time to create a sim for Fern & if it was up to me, they all would've stayed! Also huge thank you to all of you that voted in the poll! It was pretty close; Rowan was in the lead for awhile but then Gabriel swooped in like he does at the end.

Who will win the final rose & Ferns heart?

[Day Five] Speed Date (Afterwards)

After the day of date after date; Fern was feeling in the mood to create a painting. While doing so, Rowan walked in & joined her…

[1] Soon as this man is around her, she's instantly flirty & doing her sexy little poses. [2] Trying to distract themselves… [3] …Which didn't work. [4] I don't know if I need to adjust some ww settings but these two can't keep their hands off each other. [5] AND THEN.. just as I was about to move my attention elsewhere, I noticed GABRIEL SITTING THERE WITH POPCORN. This man really said "this is the free popcorn I've been lookin' for"

[Day One] First Impressions 1/8

Introducing Rowan Paris by @theosconfessions

For Fern's first contestant it was quite nerve racking for her; but once she saw him, it was an instant crush. The conversation was pleasant the entire time. They seem to both think the other is attractive & they have amazing compatibility.

[Day Night Nineteen] Elimination

Welcome to the last rose ceremony before the final decision is made! The sim getting the first rose tonight is again Rowan Paris! He has been really stepping up his romance game, coming in with a 92% romance bar! This man was flirting with Fern every chance he got. I also didn't get any screenshots of it but he was really going hard with the autonomous "recite poetry" interaction. They also have the soulmates sentiment now.

[Day Sixteen] Speed Date #3

The last date of the day was with Rowan. She figured they both loved the outdoors & she's always wanted to ride on the back of a motorcycle; so she pulled some strings & managed to rent one for the night. They took a scenic night cruise & came across a pretty dreamy waterfall. They spent the late hours talking… amongst other things. The only thing I initiated was the talking - ww did the rest (apparently these two just can't have a date without her riding something else.)

I also opted to not having a one on one with Gabriel considering he had one recently on the camping trip; I wanted to give the others a fair shot.

[Day Seventeen] Elimination

Welcome back to another rose ceremony on Yearn For Fern! The first sim to receive a rose is Rowan Paris! Their one on one date really boosted his romance bar to a 66% (for the record; I always run the relationship cheat just to see how high the romance accurately is; which is why alot of them end up being super close). It's undeniable that these two have chemistry & feelings for each other; they also have the "lovers" sentiment now.

[Day Twenty] One on One With Rowan

Fern & Rowan took an overnight trip back to Granite Falls, just the two of them. They spent the day fishing together & cloudgazing, having deep conversations. Over dinner Fern finally asked Rowan if he was interested in having children & luckily, they were both on the same page (neutral on the idea). After their homecooked meal that Fern made for them, they spent the night by the fire… keeping warm in more ways than just one.

[Day Eighteen] Movie Night

Before the movie ended Fern & Rowan snuck off to her room… ya know, to discuss the movie…

[Day Nine] Speed Dating

For Fern's last date of the day; her & Rowan went to a drive-in movie. They didn't spend alot of time actually watching the movie, these two wouldn't stop flirting with each other. They did do a little chatting here & there while stargazing. They ended up in a bathroom stall… leaving them with a gold medal.
