Welcome back to the madhouse!

Any fails that happened in that time, I guess I’ll just ignore… but it wasn’t much playtime, so I don’t think I missed much. Anyway. On we truck. The first thing I notice is I completely forgot a roof on the addition. Not to mention, Maxis’ original roof is driving me bonkers. So I fix it. And add a few windows. And buy Jesse an easel so he can stop running down the road. Which puts us down to 315 Simoleons. Ugh. Oh, he’s at 34k simoleons earned so far. Doesn’t feel like it. But that’s what the Rosebud Achievement says.

Upon loading the save, the first thing I notice is that I forgot to roof the addition. And I hate EA’s roof on the rest of the house. So I fix it.

Man, Sulani really is gorgeous. It’s almost too bad they don’t do much outside the house in this save, because Jesse is always working on his aspirations, and I can’t control anyone else.

Jesse’s first action.. fixing the sink. While Fetia showers. Hey, priorities.

..Then she goes for an ocean swim. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the shower??

She cleans the tub while Jesse is back working on aspirations/money making. When I fixed the roof, I spent a bunch on windows, too… and so they’re poor again. Or still. I’m not sure which.

Fetia decides to do something useful. I think.

The kids. Jesse really made some cute boys. Coty’s the one in the hat, Tyson is the blonde, and Jaxson (the first born) is the redhead.

Oh, good job. You broke it.

They’re all pretty good at doing their homework. And if they forget, Jesse is sure to remind them. Gotta get those points from grades, you know.

Another food-bringing party. Sure, guys. One less thing Jesse has to cook. Welcome!

Working from home can sometimes be annoying. Jesse has to go use a bubble blower in the Myshuno winter. Fun.

Aww.. Thanks, Coty! Too bad that mop is as big as you are!

… That’s a rain puddle, Fetia. Although I guess you get brownie points for trying. LOL.

Coty without his hat for a change.

Happy New Years! I really need to buy them a better TV.

Putting the kids to bed.

Happy birthday, Fetia! Welcome to adulthood!

I decide the plumbing needs auto-cleaning. All of it.

Was your birthday really that bad?? I mean, all you have to do is wander around and see to your own needs.. so what could be so bad about that??

Happy prank day! *chuckles* At least Jesse seemed to enjoy learning Mischief skill on his kids. (They get offended WAY less easy.)

Working from “home” again. Gotta review a performance.

More autocleaning.

Fetia, you really don’t have anything better to do than WATCH Jesse write books?

Jesse needs to help kids with homework for one of his aspirations… so everyone is getting homework help all of a sudden. They don’t seem to mind, though.

Yay! it’s age-up time for Jaxson!

… interesting trait roll.

… And that’s the second time a kid has aged up into the wrong hair color in this save. Erm. OK. Jax.. you’ve been putting on the pounds, I see.

ROFL. He’s pretty proud of himself, though, it seems.

And… since this is as good as place as any.. I’m going to split this post here. It’s about half of the monster post I was ending up with… so I’ll tally points in the next part. However, best thing I can say: no fails so far!! Yay!
