Lore3The Wolf Household
3 members · Wolf · §4,000
Celebrating something? You absolutely want to invite Rebecca, Bianca, and Monica! They're not only the life of the party, they ARE the party. However, life has a way of reminding us all of a simple fact: we all have to grow up at some point. Will these three friends be able to handle the ups and downs of careers, bills, and maybe even family life, all while continuing to uphold their status as partying legends?
Lore2The Marquez Household
2 members · Marquez · §7,843
All great towns need a great place to eat, and Sebastian is here to deliver. Alongside his son Eli, Sebastian's goal as the new chef in town is to open a fantastic restaurant for the residents. He's often seen outdoors, picking vegetables for recipe testing or hiking with his son. However, getting to know Sebastian may reveal hidden, unexpected secrets...
Lore2The O'Reilly Household
2 members · §3,000
Florence and Faye have been happily married for 30 years! They've been together through thick and thin, supporting each other and holding hands through the best and worst of times. Both now retired, Florence can focus on her garden, and Faye can relax and listen to her favorite vinyl records. Every morning, they enjoy reminiscing about beautiful memories created over a lifetime. They both relish every single day knowing soulmates exist, waiting for the next life where they'll be sure to find each other again.
Lore1The Barnes Household
1 member · Barnes · §2,000
Kareem loves all things cozy and comforting. He enjoys the simple things in life: rainy days, black coffee, and a good book. He spends his time escaping into stories, as the trials of day-to-day life are a little overwhelming for him at times. Maybe he'd like someone to share his stories with?
Lore1The Gervais Household
1 member · Gervais · §5,740
Julien is good at his job... maybe a little too good. It's all he thinks about! He considers his ambition and perfectionistic tendencies to be his greatest qualities. His compulsive need to be the best is fed by his relationship with his corporate rival, Samantha, in an epic battle of professional passive aggressiveness. However, he'll never admit the pang of loneliness he feels when he's out of the office... Maybe there's more to life than overhead fluorescent lighting and cubicle walls?
Lore1The Nasser Household
1 member · Nasser · §3,271
Anisa is quite well-known in town. Thanks to her job at the coffee shop, she knows everyone by name and manages to brighten everybody's day!

Who will she meet?
Lore1The Reed Household
1 member · Reed · §2,018
If charisma had a name, it'd be Lian Reed! He knows exactly how to charm and schmooze his way into getting what he wants. It's essentially his greatest quality, but maybe it's even... his greatest flaw?

1 member · Stark · §3,000
Samantha has worked her way to the absolute top! She prides herself on engaging her employees through team building activities and curating a positive workplace environment.
