Gabriella Duke has always been a painter — it was, as the cliché goes, written in the stars. (Or more specifically, designated by The Sims 4’s Stories feature in Create-A-Sim.) Then she discovered grilled cheese sandwiches.

Thankfully, cheat codes unlocked the rocket, and Gabriella spent a few days of PTO building it. Grilled cheese goals come before work goals, after all. With her trusty excellent-quality grilled cheese sandwich on her
