One of the family bin sims that comes with free time. If so, tell me your stories with him im curious to hear them

My story:
I only played with him with no cheats at all unless the mail carrier came so i could force error + delete his/her ass and i tried to get him promoted and it was successful and stuff, then when i played Nina Caliente (his friend) she had a want to flirt with Julien and so i invited him over and they flirted and etc, i didn't save this part lol, then stuck bills, when Julien was cooking food, i can't pay the bills for some reason and the repo man came and that was the last time i played as him

Is he the one with the dog, Porthos, or something?

No, Julien's the one who wants to be a cook, except it isn't often his LTW. I've played Julien lots of times, because unless you suppress the stealth neighborhoods he's in the family bin. The most interesting he's ever been was the first time, when he broke up the Travellers' marriage constantly coming home from work with Trisha and having actual chemistry with her while Trent just noodled around and could never settle down satisfactorily to life. Trisha divorced him to marry Julien, leading to Trent having a breakdown and Tina skipping college to stay home and look after him.

I don't play with him realistically. He works as a test subject for experiments with mods.

Poor Julien, poor poor Julien. ROFL

My Julien moved in on the Picasso marriage, like Peni's Julien did with the Travellers... and I was trying out Preg4AllGenders at the time. Jessica Picasso had twins fathered by Matthew, and very shortly afterwards Matthew found he was pregnant with Julien's baby! The three children all got brought up together, though I don't think I played their household long enough to see what Julien's features looked like when his daughter was older. I recall she looked interesting as a toddler.

I almost never play with him, especially since I use empty stealth hood templates.

The name did not ring a bell, had to look him up. Looked somewhat familiar, but honestly wouldn't be able to put him together with the name. It's possible I've played him at some point when playtesting the FT hood, but probably ages ago, and not for long enough for him to stick to my memory.

His head is quite distinct, similar to the Unsavory pickpocket. I don't remember if he had cooking enthusiasm by default and could therefore come to Sue's Secret Kitchen before I fixed it. You probably have seen him in the character bin. If you thought that deleting him would cause corruption, you'd see him again and again. I think he looks weird and therefore can have an unrealistic profession.

In my game Julien Cooke lives downtown and is friends with the Travellers who live there too, and knows John Burb. They know about his strangeness, his black boxy furniture and mysterious source of family money, and kept him away from Tina and Lucy before those moved to the LeTournament Academy. Julien Cooke also has a Grilled Cheese secondary aspiration to complement his obsession with cooking.

I played him, since I always end up moving the bin sims into my hoods - I'd say at least 3 times. His LTW is to have 30 best friends. He is a popularity sim with a high number of cooking points and works in the culinary career (it is also his hobby).

I find him a bit of a challenge, because he is not a very nice sim, which means he actually finds it difficult to make all those friends. He did not break up any marriages in my hoods - he had various levels of success in making those 30 friends. He adopted a boy and a dog because he needs to socialize, or his aspiration falls.

He owns a small restaurant which is moderately successful in my last hood (which I still play from time to time; the other one was lost when my pc broke). He is also happy to cook for visitors on community lots

Ah, I got the dog's name right, but the owner's name wrong (something I sometimes do in RL, embarrassingly XD).

https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Cyd_Roseland

Cool Sim, Cyd, one of my favourites.

I wouldn't have called his head distinctive, myself, though I realize my standards are perpendicular to most people's. Take the spade beard and curly mustache off him and he's conventionally handsome. I also don't have a problem with his personality limiting his friendships - some of my favorite sims are grouches - but the hours of the culinary career can make it hard for him to cultivate friendships and get out of the house at suitable hours for meeting people. This is not a serious problem in rotation hoods, though, as friendships can be worked from both sides.

In Widespot he and Cyd are sharing a house and have adopted the Critturs. Julien spends quite a lot of time looking after dogs - somehow the jobs all seem to need doing during the day when Cyd's at work, and then Cyd has free time to have guests in the evenings while Julien's working. Julien and Cyd are straight but the neighbors can be forgiven for making assumptions, as the women they're most attracted to are unavailable for one reason or another; either being single as a lifestyle choice, like Candy Hart, or married, like Trisha Traveller and Jessica Picaso. It took ages for them to get rid of their virginities, and it looks as though they're going to quietly grow old together in a welter of dogs.

Hey this story is familiar
Edit: i read this story lol https://ferretsims.livejournal.com/42758.html

Forgot to talk about his romantic interest in my hood - Julian has a relationship with social townie Marie Rauscher, whom he met through work. She is also in the culinary career. They seem content with going on dates (in the mornings, when they don't work)

That's not the same story at all! My Julien and Cyd aren't dating. They are straight. They're just drifting in the same current and will never do anything so proactive as experimenting with each other. I'm afraid they're both the kind of guy who needs the woman to take initiative and nobody finds them promising enough. For awhile Skye Weiss was throwing Cyd at Penny hoping he'd cut out her despised babydaddy Rhett Hart, but that did not happen. Penny never noticed and Cyd, who I think is intimidated by her, never tried hard enough.

I find this funny because for some reason, Cyd Roseland keeps rolling as gay across multiple neighbourhoods of mine.

In my current hood, Julien is bisexual and actually dated Cyd for a bit - it didn't exactly work out because Cyd is a bit of a health nut and Julien loves his food too much. Now he's in a relationship with one of my (female) customs... and yup, risky woohoo did its thing and now they have a kid. Since they're living in the same apartment building, he gets lots of chances to visit his daughter.

One of the good things about the sims (as a whole), there's no fixed story ultimately, you can do whatever you want and make your own story (Or no story, if you prefer.)

Lol but it reminded me of that cuz it involves julien and cyd, sorries

Yeah that's cool. Like i can make non sense like Lilith burns the kitchen and everyone turns into a toddler with cheats or Mortimer dates and cheats on Nina (based off one of my cursed dreams). This game is so awesome, even the base game satisfied me
Edit: not really base game as the only pack i've had before i got Sims 2 Ultimate Collection was Mansion and Garden stuff so basically base game with stuff pack and a few features from packs (eg: chemistry and fury from nightlife, influence from university life)

I think a story will happen, no matter what you do. If you don't make a story, your Sims will make one. And, even if you do try to make a story, your Sims are likely to change it to one that suits them. I think that's what makes our Sims so lovable!

I don't know Julien Cooke, because I don't have the right EP (FreeTime I think). But I do have a Julian in my game: Julian Moltke-Jones, Andrew's long-term boyfriend and now his husband. He pronounces his name "Yulian", because the Moltkes are a German family. He certainly changed the story in my game when, after nine real -years in a monogamous relationship with Andrew, he decided that he wanted an open marriage -- one that included the highly promiscuous Jack Gill -- the "lovable rogue" of Veronaville's young gay community. And Andrew told me that that's what he wanted too! So, to give Andrew and Julian what they wanted I had to put in a "no jealousy at all" mod! . . . But I still love them!

He's in my megahood and in a relationship with Bigfoot (I have the bigfoot romance mod). Bigfoot has a baby girl named Daphne (from Alexandra Teatherton from before Julien) and they are both living with the Traveller family - Tina, Trisha, Trent and their second child Sienna Traveller. All together in Strangetown.

Edit: I rolled and Julien is gay in my megahood to. Oh and Alexandra Teatherton is still living on her own. She gave the baby to Bigfoot. Hunter Bigfoot.

I think a couple of things to watch for with your sims:
- The wants they roll
- The wants they don't roll
- The wants they fear.

What they don't roll can be interesting when it comes to relationships. If these two never roll any wants for each other, you have to ask yourself.. why? It can be a useful tool in determining who breaks up. Have them argue a little and if they never roll positive wants for the other still, well you have your answer.

Played him once a very long time ago. He reached the top of his career, became very rich, built quite a mansion, married a very beautiful woman, died in a mysterious accident in his pool. The mystery has not been solved to this very day.
