    Heard some strange music and after stracking it down, I saw this happen to one of my neighbours and it freaked my sims the out. Never seen it before. Can someone enlighten me as to what is happening here?

    I think I'm going to do my story a slight bit differently than I thought. Instead of basing it in the 1950's, I am just going to make it take place in the past of the "current" Sunset Valley. This way, I don't have to find period appropriate clothing, or worry too much about making Sims be a certain real life age or anything. I've dressed Simon and Prudence up in a way that I like for them, and didn't worry about making them look like the 1950's. I'm now working on adding some more CC hairs and a few other things, but only because I am lacking on good hairs. Before I do that, though, I am going to get rid of a couple CC hairs that I'm not so fond of. A few have weird parts in the hair where the Sim almost looks like they have a bald streak right down the middle of their head.

    @emorrill You're welcome. :lol:
    That's good.
    Thanks, he's hoping to become a police officer for our hometowns police department. Being a small town of 2500, it's not as bad as being an officer in a big city usually.

    @Sprottenham You're welcome.

    @Middleclaw It means that one of the Sims in town is a Ghost Hunter and that particular house is being haunted. The Sim who is the Ghost Hunter will probably be there on the lot somewhere, dressed similar to a Ghostbusters character. It plays creepy music the whole entire time until the event is over.

    You got ghosts - it's part of the "ghost hunting" career in Ambitions.

    Installing a few select store items "saved" from my purchases. Might be a bit before I can get back to the story - That DasmX86Dll.dll error is causing me to not be able to use my Pets EP at all. I only have it enabled for the hairstyles unless I can either get it to work again through some herculean method of fixing the problem OR I've pretty much lost $19.99 for a pack I can no longer use. Oh well.

    Dang their "spaghetti code".

    I’ve decided not to do the past Sunset Valley and will instead just start a new game there with the “current” townies. I’m going to give them makeovers first though, then will start the story. This way, I can tell the part of the story I really want to tell and not worry about past events or anything. Basically, it will be a better version of the story I did a few years back. I’m not putting Ava Sinclair or Emily Jones into the save, and will just focus on everyone who already exists. I still plan on the Calientes and Don Lothario for the future too.

    So far, I’ve only got Gunther and Cornelia done. I want a good hair for Gunther, he currently has the hair Dwight Langerak had in my other save but I want shaggier hair.

    The next morning:

    Screenshot-271.jpg
    Grace: And why can't I let Anna come to spend the holidays with us?
    Grace was personal Secretary to William Danials, the richest man in the city.
    She was here to invite someone from the shelter to spend the holidays with them.
    Miss Hannigan: Because she's a drunk.
    Grace: Pish Posh, Anna how would you like to spend the holidays with us?
    Anna: Boy would I!


    Screenshot-272.jpg
    Miss Hannigan: Now wait just a minute, you can have anyone in the shelter,
    except Anna.
    Grace: Miss Hannigan, this doesn't have anything to do with the police?
    Miss Hannigan: She's all yours.

    Screenshot-273.jpg
    About 45 minutes later, the limo pulled up in front of a mansion.
    Anna was overtaken with amazement, she thought it was a train station,
    until Grace corrected her.

    Screenshot-275.jpg
    Grace: Now, Anna, what is it that you would like to do first?
    Anna: The walls, that way when I do the floors, I won't slip.
    Grace: Anna, dear.Your our guest here, you don't have to do any chores.
    Anna: I don't?
    Grace: No.

    Screenshot-276.jpg
    William: Grace, I'm home..Are there any calls for me?
    Grace: Just the president sir, He said its very urgent and to call him
    as soon as you got in.
    William: Tell him I'll call him later...and

    Screenshot-279.jpg
    William: Who is this?
    Grace: This is Anna, the young lady from the homeless shelter. She'll
    be spending the holidays with us.
    William: I thought you were going to get a boy and an orphan?
    Grace: You didn't say it had to be a child or a boy, so I offered it to this
    young lady.
    Anna: I'm sorry, I'm not a boy or a child, sir.
    William felt like a fool after not being so welcoming to the young lady
    standing before him.

    Screenshot-278.jpg
    William: I couldn't be happier to have you spending the holidays with us.

    Screenshot-280.jpg
    William: Uh...what are we suppose to do with her?
    Grace: It is her first night here.
    William: Right, Anna have you ever been to a broadway show?
    Anna: No.
    William: Great! Then you'll go see a show with Grace.

    Screenshot-281.jpg
    Anna plops down into the chair, all depressed and sad.
    Anna: Aww, Gee.
    William: You don't want to go see a show.
    Anna: No...I do...just I thought you'd be taking me.
    William: Anna, I just got back from a business trip and..

    Screenshot-282.jpg
    Anna: Aww Gee.
    Grace: Sir, the president is on the phone.
    William: ...Tell him I'm escorting a young lady to broadway
    and I will call him back.

    Screenshot-283.jpg
    Anna: Oh boy! I never been around NY before.
    William: You live in New York and never seen it?
    Anna: Well, Miss Hannigan.
    Grace: That's her employer at the shelter
    Anna: She doesn't allow us to leave the property.
    What's NYC like?
    William: NYC, what is it about you? You're big, your tough.NYC
    I go years without and I can't get enough


    Screenshot-284.jpg
    William: Enough of cab drivers answering back in language far from pure.
    Brother you know your in NYC, too busy to crazy. Too Hot, too cold too late
    I'm sold again, on NYC


    Screenshot-285.jpg
    William: Hurry up you slowpokes, we got to get to the Roxy
    before the prices change.
    Grace: NYC the shadows at sundown.

    Screenshot-288.jpg
    Grace: The roofs that scrape the sky.

    Screenshot-287.jpg
    William: NYC, the rich and the rundown, the big parade goes by.
    What other town has the empire state, and a mayor 5 foot two, no
    other town in the whole 48 could half compare to you.


    Screenshot-291.jpg
    William: The City's bright as a penny arcade, it tilt it gleams it shines.

    Screenshot-290.jpg
    Anna: To think that I lived here all of my life and never seen these things. NYC I give you
    fair warning, up there in lights I'll be. Go ask Go ask the Gershwin's or Kaufman and Hart the place
    they love the best, though California pays big for their art, their fan mail comes addressed to NYC tomorrow
    a penthouse that's way up high tonight the Y why not, Its NYC


    Screenshot-292.jpg

    Screenshot-294.jpg

    Screenshot-299.jpg
    William: Grace, how long is Anna with us?
    Grace: Just until after New Years.
    William lets out a sigh of disappointment.
    William: That doesn't seem long enough. Good Night
    Anna.

    @Nikkei_Simmer you need a dedicated graphics card as well as plenty of memory for pets. When pets was released my computer stopped working for Sims 3. That’s when I learned about dedicated cards. So, since I was working at the time and the computer was getting old and I really wanted to keep adding content I got a new one built. It worked for a while but I eventually had to upgrade it too.
  • MiddleclawMiddleclaw Posts: 23 Member
    @Nikkei_Simmer , @Brandontaylor Thanks for the info. Despite having the game since day one, there are things I still do not know about the game, and probably forgotten during a 10 year hiatus.

    Got Apploosa Plains (Sims 3 Pets) on sale today because, I got tired of waiting for Sims 4 to have an Olden Days Western World. I also made a new cabin & my Prairecree sim in Sims 3. ;)

    Hey, everyone! Long time no see!

    I decided to show up because I'm playing the sims 3 again. XD
    I uninstalled the game in July to focus on other games but I miss my sims. Right now, I've been building.

    I saved "Paradise Pools" from Sunlit Tides and I adapted them to the lot up the waterfall in Sunset Valley:

    52519460632_18aca32cbe_c.jpgScreenshot-2 by Marcos Da Silva, no Flickr

    52520484013_e1916de212_c.jpgScreenshot-3 by Marcos Da Silva, no Flickr

    It isn't 100% but I'm happy with it. I'll upload when I play with it a bit.

    Right now, I have my third generation save in Twinbrook. Conrad is an elder and the heirs are very similar to his father and mother. I'm not sure if I will keep in playing in there. I played a bit my ancient Sunset Valley save (2018) and the Appaloosa Plains one (2015). However, there are so many messed things that I intend to reset the gameplay.

    By the way, does anyone know who @tallcoolone is? I've gotten a lot of gifts and I wish I could thank for them.
    @texansky , you're also amazing. I think the Bayside Kitchen Set will look great in Sunset Valley. Do you have a thread with all your updates that include my simself. I want to see the children he had with @emorrill 's simself. LMAO

    Lots of love for the folks that always talk to me here!

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I start a 6 day week tomorrow so won’t be on much. I think the first full week of December will be a little better for me and I should have a bit of time to play by then.

    @thuggishsplicer
    Here is the link to the Simselves story. I haven't played it for a while, but it is up to date with the game.

    https://ladyaylaina.wixsite.com/my-legacy-families/blog/categories/simselves-challenge

    I've been playing a Perfect Genetics game. I won't be blogging this one as I haven't been taking screenshots. They haven't gotten an heir yet. I think she is pregnant with her 9th child. I gave both parents fertility treatments now, so who knows how many she will have this time. I think she's had 2 sets of twins so far. They are both adults, so I have young again potions ready in case they don't get an heir soon.

    @texansky Cool! It's your blog! I remember it. I loved Precious' story and she's an elder in my Sunset Valley save. I'll try to get some pics before she passes away.

    @McTosh That wedding was very cute! Congrats for the new married couple!

    I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

    Previously on "The People of Simbria"...

    Optional recap since it's been such a long time since Iast updated this story.
    W0fnGhe.jpg

    In Sunset Valley, Eirin Motorsen had invited her daughter Ranveig and her two sons, Oliver Freddy and Robert Bråge, along with the family of Oliver Freddys girlfriend, Inge Reppe, over to celebrate christmas..

    5sjIKmf.jpg

    The party was a success and everyone had a good time, though as the party was coming to a close, Ranveigs anxiety took hold of her and she started questioning Inge about her and Oliver Freddys future. What their plans where after graduating from university, if they would move in together, and whether they would marry and have children.. Ranveig loved both of her sons very deeply, and the thought of them moving out was sometimes a heavy one to bear..

    K1xQI5I.jpg

    After most of the guests had left, her father Ingmar, that had kept to himself most of the time, had a conversation with her that calmed her down and pulled her out of the dark little corner of her mind she would sometimes found herself trapped in...

    YNaW64O.jpg

    Further north in the town of Sprottenham, a few weeks before christmas, Gaute Chitrakaar-Bråheim woke up early after having an unpleasant dream of going to a hospital and meeting up with a strange doctor that kept referring to him as "the undertaker"...

    529DOlE.jpg

    The rest of the day went by as usual, as he went to work at the military base. In the afternoon, he got a visit from his long time friend from Selma Vaddelmyr. She had been his friend ever since childhood, when they both grew up in the small town of Dole Plains by the Appaloosian Mountains...

    EvR349W.jpg

    Leya, his wife, had already gone to bed, and it was bedtime for Bodil, his stepdaughter. Just as he went to pick up a book to read her a bedtime story, he got a distressing message from Leyas mother.

    KIH7Dp1.jpg

    She had tried to call Leya several times, because her father, Deepak, had been rushed to the hospital after he had a stroke and fell in the bathroom.

    COpI3pL.jpg

    And as if that wasn't enough, shortly thereafter Selma went into labor, so Gaute had to take her to the hospital where she gave birth to a little baby girl she gave the name Rebecca.

    4BQT2vL.jpg

    Gaute wasn't the only bothered by nightmares before christmas. Sofia, married to Leyas brother Palash, was having her own struggles dealing with her pregnancy...

    PzfTu3I.png

    Her last dream was a particularly terrible one, where she took her then young boy out for a stroll to the park on what started out as a nice summer day, before winter fell and an ambulance suddenly came by with full sirens on...

    G720bcN.png

    The very next morning, Palash woke up to a phone call from his mother...

    KDGFqBl.jpg

    They rushed to the hospital where they were greeted by a sweet and friendly doctor...

    cxOScde.jpg

    Sofia immediately took a dislike to this doctor. The ways he held Palashs hands didn't seem right..

    iFVQovV.jpg

    They had a good meeting with Deepak, Palashs father. He had been taken good care of by the doctors at the hospital and already showed great signs of recovering, possibly returning home just in time to celebrate christmas...

    vF0NZ6Z.jpg

    Before leaving, however, a confrontation happened in the hallways between Sofia and the doctor that first greeted them, where Sofia felt that the doctor delivered a threat to harm someone, possibly her unborn baby...

    WrSinSP.jpg

    An ominous sounding weather forecast was delivered by the radio as they went to the hospital cafeteria to eat, and later that night as conditions outside began to worsen, Palash and Sofia had a fight regarding the doctor, but they managed to settle the dispute and Palash calmed her down before they both went to bed, the rain still hammering hard on the window..

    XZ4i5md.png

    By next morning Gaute had finally delivered the news to Leya about her father, and her reaction was immediate. They would be spending christmas in with her mom, and hopefully dad, in Bewickton this year.

    tN8topE.jpg

    Chances of everyone spending christmas together this year looked good, as Deepak was really making a speedy recovery, thanks to his won grit and stubbornness. He certainly wasn't going to sit around in a wheelchair!

    H3ASiHv.jpg

    It was an emotional moment for everyone in the room as they visited him in the hospital. Bodil had been anxious about her grandpa all the way from their hometown of Sprottenham, and was really happy to see him.

    lTs7SnH.jpg

    Orinder met his grandpa for the first time, before everyone had a nice meal in the hospital cafeteria being excited about the upcoming christmas and christmas presents..

    4EFyNnK.jpg

    Or atleast Bodil was..

    paSVu1H.jpg

    On the third day of their visit, they went to visit Leyas brother Palash where Bodil ended up having a disagreement with her uncle about their dog, Yumi, but they both settled it and became good friends by the end of the night..

    And a long story made a little shorter, that's pretty much where I left off last time..

    Actual update begins here..

    I was originally intending to have this part (everything christmas related) done by october, but somewhere along the way I lost a bit of motivation to continue, so this update may be a little uninspired, but it is what it is, and I really do what to make a contribution to keep the thread active, so here it is. :P


    Chapter 17.6 – December 2022: Part IX – Welcome to the family...? / Cold in December


    Josie Dunne - Cold in December

    3TwNZdc.jpg

    Bodil woke up early this morning as Orinder was in need of having his diaper changed, and the hotel they stayed at didn't offer the luxury of separate bedrooms for the kids..

    q39ZaWk.jpg

    For their third day, Leya wanted to visit her oldest sister, Udisha, but she was busy with work. Not surprising as she had always been the most ambitious of everyone in the family, so instead she opted to take the family to the park to wind down a little. Even though everything seemed to be going fine with her father at the hospital, and her mother, brother and her youngest sister was dealing with it alright, the last few days had been pretty stressful, and she thought it could be useful to take one day to just relax a little.. The weather forecast promised good weather, but cold, so they would have to put on their warmest clothing..

    KShfKrb.jpg

    Bodil was having her concerns about the cold, but those concerns were unessecary, because the forecast and the weather seemed wildly out of tune..

    0yrBKBR.jpg

    The cold crisp weather that was promised, was nowhere to be found. Instead, they got mild weather and rain.. Not the most ideal for a trip to the park, but Leya thought it might do them good, and decided to take them anyway..

    5M4iy0f.jpg

    Bodil and Gaute walked into the park, but their stay didn't last that long, because shortly after they arrived, Leya got a phone call from her youngest sister, Nitya. She was throwing a party and invited them to come over. Of course, Leya couldn't turn her sister down, so their trip to the park was cut short.

    7j81Jqi.jpg

    Back to her mom and dad and her sisters house they went.

    hMZbkWW.jpg

    Meanwhile at the hospital Deepak continued to make great progress, as he was now relearning to walk. The physiotherapist Beate Stenstad was really enthusiastic about her patient. It was clear he was very motivated to finish the program and get home in time for christmas to spend time with his family.

    3IYa4wA.jpg

    Trying to explain why sims do what they do is sometimes an interesting task..but apparently as Leya and her family entered the front door, the party guests had already gathered in the bathroom where things seemed to be happening...
    Kajsa Tangstad, the drummer from the band, "The Bushweeds", was already criticising Bhavan for his, according to her, poor taste in music...

    QMcgLWc.jpg

    His girlfriend, Beate Curious, didn't think his taste in music was at all bad, and she loved it everytime he would serenade her with his guitar. ;) Penny Pincher-Peddler thought Kajsa was being ridiculous for criticising others taste in music like that...

    xdD6CDg.jpg

    Just another awkward sims moment.. Bhavan and Beate clearly walked into the bathroom for some time alone, but obviously, that wasn't going to happen. What Katinka Hunter is doing there, I don't even know.. well, there is rarely a time for Bhavan to be alone. There's just something about him that makes him irressistible. The poor boy can't help it! ;)

    Continues in spoiler:
    yvfYsfY.jpg

    Gaute had gone out in the backyard for a game of darts, when he was approached by Leyas sister Nitya. She didn't know Gaute very well, but there was still something about this man her sister had chosen the marry that piqued her interest. It waned though, as soon as he started talking about the the beauty of the forest, and that he might want to go camping later. So boring...

    L0apmXc.jpg

    Inside Bhavan and his girlfriend had learnt that the bathroom wasn't giving them the privacy they desired, and had left it to enter his parents bedroom instead.... Bhavan was always happy to see his mother, but..

    bhS2C4b.jpg

    .. he couldn't resist it when his girlfriend suggested they have a little fun... on his parents bed..

    nj9dUQL.jpg

    I mean, if this wasn't his parents bed, and if his father actually wasn't at the hospital recovering from a stroke, this would've been cute and all, but.. no...I find this to be quite disgraceful, to be honest! :P

    F5x8CAk.jpg

    His girlfriend Beate certainly didn't think so, and was very proud of herself for having been naughty outside her home..

    Y6PLkTn.jpg

    Maybe she eavesdropped on them, or maybe she just saw what happened through the windows, because as soon as they were finished Penny Pincher-Peddler walked into the bedroom to make some advances on Bhavan as well..

    C9bqe21.jpg

    Beate wasn't to impressed, but she had no need to worry as he dismissed her and walked away with pride as well. Nitya had also entered the room now, probably not to impressed with what her brother just did in their parents bed...

    him6tQ5.jpg
    Beate was still completely without any shame, thinking this was a family she could easily marry herself into... Better hope your future parent-in-laws won't learn about what you did and that everyone will warmly welcome you to the family if that should be the case. ;)

    oG8zz2V.jpg

    So proud...

    TuiNAWw.jpg

    "Now time to sneak out of here and go home, before Bhavan's sister figures out what just happened..."

    dNLHUHg.jpg

    While all this was going on, Leya had gone out to the little garden house to relax by herself in her parents jacuzzi, just like she did on their last visit. Except this time she had the decency to keep her clothes on. :P Which is more than what can be said about her brother Bhavan.. neither Leya nor Gaute had caught what he did, as Gaute was upstairs looking after Orinder.

    2xYNpbc.jpg

    --

    FO0IZHz.jpg

    Downstairs again, Bhavan, Penny and Nitya had gathered in the hallway talking about more mundane things, while Bodil was once more being the Mighty Queen of the Chessboard Kingdom..

    t19Diuj.jpg

    As Penny cheered her way out, saying it was an awesome party in spite of its slight weirdness, and some random paparazzi entered through the back door, Nitya the party host thought the party was over, so she retreated to her room to finish a painting she had started to earlier.

    ic5tFYK.jpg

    kXlVwhS.jpg

    At the end of the night only Kajsa and Katinka was left of the party guests, and Bhavan thought he could finally let off some steam about how he felt always having people flock around him for no apparent reason..

    HRBIixU.jpg

    A message that was not very well received..

    9Co2miB.jpg

    Gaute had taken Orinder out to enjoy some clean fresh air, when Nitya, who had now finished her painting, snuck up on them and thought she'd take the chance of what she had thought about all evening.. She had heard so much talk from her sister on the phone about how good he were with the kids, so why not? After all, if her sister could marry this man, then why couldn't she...?

    WvYTlMO.jpg

    Gaute: No, no, no.. what is this? What are you doing? I can't do that...

    Oh the shock and disappointment, but what did you expect? You're only 19 years old, you have an entire life ahead of you.... why on earth would you want to date a much older and already married man with two kids* and a step daughter..?

    * Gaute has one child (Robert Bråge) with Ranveig that lives in Sunset Valley, in addition to Orinder with Leya. Bodil is only his step daughter.

    Well, Gaute tries to put her off by talking about how much he enjoys working out and spending hours at the gym, but that backfires and turns her on again.. who doesn't want a fit and muscular man?

    Gaute: No... come on, that's not what I meant..
    Yeah, he has to reject her twice, before she finally gets it and gives up. :P

    Before the night ends, Laranya decides she wants to entertain everyone by playing some new tunes she's been working on. "I think I'll call this one 'Lonely heart blues'" she says, while she strikes a sad chord on her guitar to set the tone.. And even thought Deepak is not there, she still keeps the light off in the hallways, like he always did.. or does, because "it keeps the electricity bill down".

    Is it always this cold in December...?

    They hang out in the hallway for a while, sharing jokes and listening to grandmas music, before Nitya gets tired and goes to nap on her bed.

    Bodil is impressed with grandmas house, and wants to sleep over. She thinks it will be much better than sleeping at the hotel, and better yet, zero chance of waking up to a screaming smelly toddler...
    And of course, she is most welcome. There's always room at grandmas house. ;)

    No one shall ever go to bed hungry in the Chitrakaar house, so Laranya immediately went upstairs to prepare a meal for her grandchild.

    Gaute hugged Bodil goodnight one last time before they went back to the hotel. "God night, sleep tight, and we'll come pick you up tomorrow morning where we'll have another go at visiting your aunt Udisha if she's not to busy working again..."

    Laranya really enjoyed having Bodil over for the night, and they spent a good time at the table, discussing music, art and the theatre. Laranya often felt lonely in the house with Deepak at the hospital, and even though their youngest daughter Nitya still lived at home, it wasn't the same. Nitya was a young adult (that should be) more or less ready to move out, and she already lived a pretty independent life from her parents.

    Having her grandchild over brought some much needed life into the house again. Laranya had never felt as old as she did after Deepak went to the hospital, and watching her granddaughter play at the dining table made her almost feel young again.

    Since Bhavan moved out, his old bedroom had been converted to a guest room, and finally Bodil got to sleep in a bunk bed for the first time. ;) Top bunk, of course!

    Back at the hotel room, it was bedtime for Orinder, Leya and Gaute as well, and soon everyone was well on their way to Dreamland, sleeping safe and sound on this calm December night...

    Good night. ;)

    @GraceyManor I know, I hope so too. As for me, I’m doing okay, just been busy with work due to the holidays and Black Friday. Usually only have enough time to play a quick save after work, if I get the time. My next few schedules are a bit better, should have some time to comment and maybe post something to help move the thread along.

    So, when I'm not helping Ruby Broke get into shenanigans, I started a new game in Bridgeport. The whole purpose was to get Lotta Greaves into my household, without using cheats. I picked a random male sim from the bin, a redhead named Mark. He moved into a small starter home just outside the big city, and I played him for a few days, always heading to Plasma 501 after work, in hopes Lotta would spawn that night. She doesn't spawn every night, it seems like once a week. My work was cut out for me, as I found out that ghosts do NOT retain their friendship settings when they go back into their graves. The first time she spawned, Mark was there to talk to her, but 6am came quickly and I wasn't able to make friends with her before she went "back underground." I got lucky and found a friendship potion in the consignment store, one day. So the next time she spawned, I was ready. Mark charmingly introduced himself, and then threw the potion at her. Success! They were instant friends, and she warmed up to my sim and got hearts for him. <3<3 They talked, they flirted, they kissed. :* Once she went back to sleep at 6am, I was finally able to grab her tombstone, and moved it to my lot.
    Now, I also had a plumbot, luckily he came with the fishing and cooking trait chips, so I sent her out to the graveyard to find life fruits and deathfish. I have a mod that sells life fruits in the store, so I grabbed one and planted it so I could make its next generation better with fertilizer while I waited for the deathfish. Eventually my plumbot caught a deathfish after a few nights of hard work!! So she made ambrosia, and I waited with it in the fridge for Lotta to spawn on Mark's lot. I kept an eye on it too, to make sure Mark didn't eat it! Mark waited up every night for his soon-to-be-beloved to spawn, but she stubbornly remained in hibernation. He went to bed at 2am one night, exhausted, and wouldn't you know it, she spawned shortly after. And even better, she retained her memories of him and was still his romantic interest. I stumbled over myself to pause the game and get the ambrosia out of the fridge and onto the table to entice her. Because she died by fire, she headed to the shower first, as those sims do. Sorry no pics of that. o:)

    After her shower, she noticed the ambrosia on the table and went for it. :mrgreen:

    And the magic happened and she became a living, breathing sim again!! <3

    Mark the doofus was still sleeping, he had not woken up yet!!! (He is a heavy sleeper). And my plumbot was in her charging station as well. And then, my luck ran out. Much to my dismay, Lotta walked out the front door, got into a cab, and took off for parts unknown. :'( Nraas says she's considered homeless, and currently hibernating off the map. I hope the game brings her back to me, so Mark can start dating her and ask her to move in and get married. But I had to post my success story so far, before I tackle that next obstacle.
