A Stylist’s Life –
Week 1
Welcome to A
Stylist’s Life! In this series we will
follow a sim through a career or profession without me using any cheats
(seriously, this is proving VERY hard for me!).
The first career is the Stylist Profession!
Let’s meet our Sim -
Megan Monroe.
Traits – Artistic,
Charismatic, Friendly, Perceptive and Photographers Eye.
Lifetime Wish –
Fashion Phenomenon (of Course!)
Megan lives in
Riverview. She bought this beautiful
little cottage (The Little Sunflower Cottage by Linsiminaus Big hugs!! –

After buying this
amazing little cottage, Megan starts with a grand total of 510 simolians.
So, first things
first! Lets get that career on the
go! Megan joins the Stylist Career at
Level 1 – fashion Fledgling. Megan has 1
day off before starting work.
As we all know
simmies are a nosey sort and some neighbours soon showed up to see who the new
girl in town was. Please say hello to
Nympadora Tonks and Meadow Carpenter – Rhodes.
Megan set to work
preparing Brunch for her guests.
While they discussed
how clean Megan’s Home was, now there’s a plus!
Not having enough
room for her guests to sit, Megan invested in a picnic table for the garden.
Nymphadoria told
ghost stories as dusk settled.
After everyone had
finally left. Megan settled down for her
first night’s sleep in her new home.
Monday arrived along
with 140 simolians worth of bills to pay.
Realising that she
may need to generate some simolians Megan spent the morning tending to her
little garden.
Then off she went on
her little scooter to the Sidewalk Art Gallery.
Not having the funds
for an easel or drafting table. The
gallery allowed Megan to work on her painting skill for free.

After a day of
gardening and painting, Megan settled down to bed anxious about her first day
of work in the morning.
Megan awoke
early. She prepared (and burnt) waffles
for breakfast.
All too soon it was
time for her very first assignment.
Megan ran all the way to the salon, filled with excitement.
And there he was, Don
Lothario. After a bit of chit chat and a
long discussion about fashion. Megan
invited Don over to the Styling Station to discuss his new Swimwear.
Hmm, yes I see what
you mean – Yellow really doesn’t suit your skin tone.
So here is the finished
result! A nice pair of trunks in green
and black.
He wasn’t very
impressed. However he did let her take a
photo for her portfolio.
With no more clients
scheduled. Megan headed to the Art
Gallery to work on her painting some more.

She ran to work as
fast as she could. Her next client was
already waiting at the salon.
Client number 2 was
Nymphadora Tonks who needed new shoes.
Megan wasted no time
in getting the job done.
Nympadora’s old
shoes…
And her new shoes.
Nymphadoria was very
pleased with her new footwear and allowed Megan to take a picture for her
portfolio.
With no more clients,
Megan headed home and had Lunch.
Reaching level 2 cooking.
That night Megan
dreamt of her future as a stylist. She
hoped she could make it.

Not having the money
to hire a maid, Megan spent the time before work cleaning her little home.
Just as she was
leaving for work, the toilet broke. Not
having the money for a repairman, Megan is going to have to learn the Handy
skill! But first, work calls.
Her client today is
Henry McGlum who needs new swimwear.
As Megan tried to persuade him that heels were not a good look for the poolside a fight broke out in the salon between Robert Newbie and Harry Cooper.
Megan swiftly moved
Henry away from the brawl and to the styling station.
Here is Henry’s new
look!
And he loves it!!
However he would not
let Megan take a photo for her portfolio so she boo’d him out of the salon.
So with no more
clients – again! Megan heads of to the
gallery and continues painting. Megan
reaches Painting level 3 before heading home to bed.

Megan awoke
complaining about a bad nights sleep in her cheap bed.
Also, having not done
it the night before, the toiled needed unclogging!
At the salon she
decides to chat to Jebidiah Wilson while she waits for her fist client. He was quite offended when she started
complaining how little money she had!
Finally her client
arrives. Sherman Bagley who wants
Stylish Sleepwear.
Apparently he wanted
heels. What is it about those red
stiletto’s?
After another
disappointing day at work, Megan headed off and finished her haystack painting
at the gallery which she sold for 110 simolians.
While Megan tended
her garden
And paid yet another
set of bills!
I bought her a new
bed. Just to keep her from complaining
about not sleeping properly!

After a good night’s
sleep in the new bed – thankfully!! Megan headed of for her client of the day,
Nellie Spenster.
Megan was really excited
as Nellie had requested a whole new wardrobe.
But when Megan arrived Nellie had some bad news. Something had come up and she had to cancel.
Megan sat in the
salon reading. Her only client
cancelled. Surely someone needed a
makeover?
Then she saw
her. Hope Carpenter. Celeb level 1 Hope was a long shot but Megan
was not going to end the day without giving someone a makeover!
After a lot of
chatting and sweet talk. Megan finally
persuaded Hope to get a complete makeover.
And managed to reach celeb level 1 herself in the process!
So, here is Megan’s 1st
complete makeover…
First she livened up
Hope’s hairstyle and added some soft make up.
New Everyday…
New Formal…
New Sleepwear…
New Athletic…
And new swimwear.
Unfortunately, Hope
was not impressed and found the whole experience quite a bore!
Megan headed home
after another disappointing day. As she
slept soundly Larry Cooper peered through her window before running off into
the night.

Megan welcomed her
days off as she prepared breakfast the next morning. After a bad week at work she was looking
forward to a couple of days getting to know Riverview and its residents.
