San Myshuno is as busy as it’s ever been when the subway pulls into Lavender’s new neighbourhood.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/2arZYkcj1O

After walking around the block, Lavender finds her home in a medium-sized brick townhouse.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/xTwps0Kw9S

As she walks down the hallway towards her apartment, Lavender wonders what her roommate will be like. She’s spoken to Noelle a few times online but now will be the first time they’ve met in person. When Lavender enters, all she can hear is music blaring from the room at the end. pic.twitter.com/YY0ekM1D6N

Lavender steps into the adjoining kitchen-living room.

Lavi: Huh, that bin’s kind of cute.
She’s then startled by the appearance of a bald cat licking itself on the counter.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/gMqWLax8VC
Lavi: Is that a cat?
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Noelle: Sure is! Her name’s Pixel and she’s real mean if you wake her up too early.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/kHeYVciKvG
Lavi: Oh, you must be Noelle!
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Noelle: That’s me! You must be Lavender St. James, hailing all the way from Henford-on-Bagley!#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/UyPPBdyNsE
Noelle: I’m really glad you’re here. My aunt actually rents this place out to me but I’m kinda running low on funds. Gigs aren’t paying and my job is… less than ideal right now.
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Lavi: It’s no problem, thank you for accepting me on such short notice.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/u4Z1FvoKGk
Noelle: Actually, I think I need you more than you need me, but I appreciate the sentiment. However, I do have to warn you that your room isn’t what you might expect.
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Lavi: Oh?#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/QXZ8gm7O4C
Noelle: My last roommate left in a real hurry so all that’s left is her bed.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/rKaAIB8VFb
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Noelle: The good news is that this space is entirely yours! You wanna paint the walls, go ahead! I’m actually in the middle of painting mine but again, funds are low.

Lavi: I see…#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/sL8IApelyu
Noelle: Damn, I never noticed how pale the wood is without anything hanging on it.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/s0qZ3Wyj7Y
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Just then, Noelle gets a text.
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Noelle: Oh sweet! I got a gig tonight! I play keyboard for my friend’s band. We’re called the Lady Killers. If you ever wanna come watch us play, just let me know.
Lavi: Oh, that’s sweet but…
Noelle: Yeah, you got some work to do. No big.#TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/cG00A0X5MF
Noelle then leaves the apartment, leaving Lavender to her own devices.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/zOWS2WaTtd

The first thing on Lavender’s agenda is to empty her bag and as many boxes as she can. All she can do is hang her photos, the cross stitches Azure made for her, and stack her books next to her bed.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/ddXmiPzcpG
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
However, as Lavender dives into a new book from her pile, she discovers something about herself. She finds that romance and love is something she desires just as much as her aspiration to become a best-selling author.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/2FCY6PlvK5
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
After finishing her book, Lavender is peckish and makes herself a grilled cheese. Her cooking skill isn’t as high as Azure’s and so her food doesn’t have the same quality that it used to back home.
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Lavi: Man, even a grilled cheese is making me homesick.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/yT0MIEzFdZ
However, Lavender doesn't stay alone for long as Pixel joins her on the sofa, eyeing her gooey, cheesy sandwich.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/HEfuEO3iem

After eating, Lavender retreats to her empty bedroom and calls her mom.
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Azure: [Hey, munchkins! It’s good to hear your voice! What’s your apartment like? Is your roommate nice?]
Lavi: Yeah, everything’s great, Noelle is super sweet. It’s just… there's a problem.#TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/UxljJjOn4c
Azure: [A problem? What is it?]
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Lavi: There’s no furniture here. All I have is a bed and the stuff I came here with.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/zrS5pkoBkk
Azure: [Well, I hate to break it to you, but that’s usually how things go when you move to a new place. This is why I told you to get a job. You have money saved up, so treat yourself. It’s your time to be independent. You can do this. I love you.]#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/PU9r71DXh1
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Lavi: Hey, Mom, don’t hang up just yet.
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Azure: [Sure, munchkins.]
Lavi: I miss you, Mom.
Azure: [I miss you too, Lavi. I miss you so much, but you’re going to do great things.]#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/SvfOjWGPCe
After the phone call with Azure, Lavender decides to get ready for bed. Somehow, she hasn’t realised how tired she is from all the travelling and stress until she puts her pyjamas on and cleans her teeth.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/sWJVevwyC6

Noelle returns around midnight, music blaring from her earbuds.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/x8yJDvuydp
— richie 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@melonivysims) June 10, 2023
Whilst Noelle and Lavender sleep, Pixel keeps patrol, watching the newcomer with scrutiny.#TheSims #TheSims4 pic.twitter.com/vSCfS4j7bK
