I am sorry that you had some trouble with this house and I do hope that things go better this time around.

I figured out that if their aspiration is set to a fortune aspiration, they tend to roll simoleon whims. One of them was more effective than the other, but I can't remember which one it was now!
The Driftwoods Continued!
I did have one very strange glitch at one point. The family went to work/school on a Friday and didn't come home again until 24 hours later! Not sure if that was because it was an "event" day or not and it didn't happen again but it was odd.
Elisa (the heir) is on the left and her roommate Rafael is on the right. I'm following the changed rules on the drifter challenge website.
