Straight or Gay? and Orlando Gets Naked
Blaze was the shy, sensitive one in the family.
He lived alone in a small apartment and was apprenticing to be a chef. All the other men in the family were cops. The rest of the family sometimes wondered if Blaze was gay.
Tasha lived in the apartment below Blaze's. Sometimes she'd go upstairs and watch TV with him. She thought he was cute, but she never got the vibe that he was interested in her.
Blaze would often hang out at his brother's place. "So, Blaze, ever think about getting married?" Boden asked, subtly trying to figure out if Blaze was gay or not. Blaze just grunted noncomittally.
Boden was romantic like his father had been. Sometimes he'd spontaneously grab Laura and start dancing with her in the street - it didn't matter that there wasn't any music.
Boden spent a good deal of time helping his sister, Bliss, out around the house since her husband, Orlando, wasn't always there to take care of things.
Everyone could see that Orlando was an alcoholic except Orlando. Bliss would go to church a lot and pray for Orlando to get better.
Orlando would spend all his nights (and many of his days) at the bars.
He'd drink and drink until he was falling-down drunk.
Because Boden and Laura were concentrating on their careers and didn't have kids yet, they had some extra cash flow. They decided to put in a patio with a jacuzzi. The back yard was small, so they put it in the front.
While they were relaxing, Boden brought up the subject, once again, of starting a family. "I feel like we're running out of time," he said.
But Laura still wanted to focus on her career. "I'm not a baby-making machine," she said. They began to argue.
Orlando interrupted their heated exchange when he got into the jacuzzi butt-naked. He smelled like beer. "Um, Orlando...you do realize this is the FRONT yard??" said Laura, redirecting her anger onto Orlando. Orlando didn't seem to care.

Notes for Simmers--I like watching the sims' speech bubbles and building their conversation in the story from that; makes it more fun and more of a challenge, too.
Notes for Newbies--If your sim has enough playfulness points, he or she will autonomously get naked before going into the jacuzzi, even in a public place or on a commercial lot.
