The Romance Festival happens right outside Penny’s apartment, so she pops down to try some of the sakura tea. In a flirty mood afterwards, Penny calls Khaled Assaoui, who invites her over to his bachelor pad in the Arts Quarter. It has an amazing view of Uptown.

Ooooh, excited to see what happens!
What happened next is NSFW ๐. I like Khaled. He was initially a skinny guy (I think you can see it in an earlier picture in Salim Benali’s story) but then started getting a belly from eating at San Myshuno food stalls.
But then he started showing up at the gym autonomously in the background whenever I sent my sims there and one day I noticed that he’d become as buff as Hercules. I love it when the background NPCs I don’t play have their own stories.
