Since Pets, ghosts have gone all weird. Or at least the Daye ghosts have. Puddle and Lola can frequently be found floating in between floors. It’s really peculiar. They’re still functioning though, so I’ll put up with it.

Lola has caught 12/20 mini pets. We don’t seem to be able to catch birds, though I suspect I’m doing something wrong here. Do I need to buy a net? She was letting them go – but now we’ve discovered she can sell them, we’re doing that instead. I will make myself entertain a household of mini-pets eventually. But not yet (poor Greenpeace).

Oh dear, we suck so hard.

Sending a vampire out to do collecting is always a sensible move. Every time Lola passes out or does anything wrong, she gets a disgraced pop-up. Every time Alley does – nothing.

Blackberry aged up. With an F in school thanks to Generations making it IMPOSSIBLE for them to ever get to school. I can’t believe there isn’t a mod out there that sorts this nonsense out yet. Or if there is, can someone tell me where I can find it? It drives me up the wall.

While the family were at graduation, I got Lola and Alley to make out and woohoo. Guess which one got the shameful story in the press? Yep, not Alley.

Alley also NEVER gets any celebrity opportunities, unlike Mona or Puddle.

So I decided to cheat – I’m using Master Controller to trigger celebrity opportunities for her. She’s 88 and still not level 5. I swear she’s a bit borked. Mona got to Level 5 without any effort at all – although this was mostly through being a designer and her clients becoming friends along the way. Alley does have her share of celeb friends though. We’re really running to the wire with this one. If she dies, I’ll just change Lola’s LTW as she’ll probably complete the Lifestyles… one automatically. This 20 pets in the wild thing seems pretty easy so someone else can do that if necessary.

Graduation was hilarious. Blackberry failed. But didn’t fail. Wonderful.

I think she’s just glad to have stopped with that incessant scolding.

Her mother, meanwhile, is just deluded.

I have no sympathy with this ‘babies are whining’ nonsense. She was supposed to be out riding Ecover, not changing nappies.

Out of order update is out of order. Leon Jackson is a creepy floating vampire boy.

(Floating may be due to texture fail but sssh).

Mona finally earned enough LTH to buy an age freeze potion but the camera clicked off her to age the dog up so I missed her drinking it. 77 top scoring makeovers down, 23 to go…

I finally got these two out for a ride, instructed them to jump

…and this happened. You both want this. Sort yourselves out.

Now pet scolding, I can deal with, because you get to choose how your sim handles their pets. Why on earth you can’t choose how they handle their children I do not know.

Too much riding about and Ecover moans she’s had a saddle on too long, whilst Blackberry gets saddle-sore. Give it a rest, ladies, you barely do anything.

It made me laugh that Blackberry got this moodlet from riding a horse to a location though.

I sent them to the equestrian centre thinking they might be able to enter a competition, but Blackberry isn’t good enough. Then I saw the option to ‘breed mare’ and I couldn’t resist.

I went for ‘Troy’. Potentially interesting genetics. Ish.

I’m so going to regret this.

I also don’t like how townies think they can get friendly with my horse. Go away townies! Or go and play with my dog whom no-one cares about.

Speaking of the dog, it can’t come inside because of the lot fail issues and outdoor pets get stupid fleas. Gah. Maybe it won’t get them if we buy a kennel?

By the way, has anyone else noticed that wild horses spawn in packs? Dogs and cats seem to spawn one at a time, but in both this and OP, I’ve had horses spawn in groups of about four. So weird. Or so broken. One or the other.

The kids have both got imaginary friends, and when I went to the mail to get them, I saw this. An option to pay bills. BUT WE HAVE THE NO BILLS EVER LTR.

Gah, gah and double gah. Other than that, Puddle is almost finished with the sculpture skill challenges and Bramble is making slow, steady progress on the mixology ones. So nothing new, there. Puddle wants to marry again, but the strippers won’t come over and see him. We don’t have room for them anyway, I suppose.

While we’re on the topic of glitches, retired Alley wants to quit her job. Er? Oh, and her social suggests maybe she should play with the dog. The dog’s not a celebrity but it’s probably still more likely to make the papers than she is.

Join us next time to see if Alley will ever reach her LTW and what happens when a horse has a baby!
