... And back into our challenge. Again. This post is the last week and a half of play.. and my traditional wrap-up for the house. Nothing too earth-shattering, but there's some cool stuff I learn about Sims.

...Oh, and, the title photo? My way of keeping myself from dying of boredom. We're working on the postcards collection.

Time for Whitney to grow up.

Oh, Wow! How pretty! Too bad you can't move in old household members in the "new" Drifter rules... or I'd have her help out in house 6.

HEY! NO stoves! Bad teenager. (Photo is taken in case fire gets started.. I've got proof. LOL.

I forgot to show the updated room for Marcus.. so it's in the background of this photo. This household I decide to give the teenagers rooms makeovers. Since the dogs rarely did anything BUT watch the hedgehog, I got rid of it. Will definitely remember not to have pets and rodents in the same household again unless I want boring pets.

... And almost immediately, Marley is back to making puddles.

... And Fifi is getting filthy by rolling in them. Also.. that's the maid. It occurs to me I have so much money there's no reason not to hire one. He  doesn't seem to be happy with Fifi, though. LOL.

See?  Now the doggies actually interact. Too cute.

You went to the Vet Clinic in your swimsuit?! .. Oh, Tyler. (Fifi is sick .. again. Marley never got sick.. once. Fifi.. it's like once a week.

... It's during this vet visit I find the Pet Vending machine.. and curiously check on it.

Aha! I finally found the rodent anti aging thing.... and more...?!?!?! I have to try the anti age and ambrosia for Marley when I get home. So exciting.. so you'll have to forgive the pic spam in a minute...

Meanwhile.. Fifi doesn't look happy with the vet.

Please fix my puppy!!  <3 kthx, vet. (It also occurs to me during this visit that I have more than enough money to pay for the expensive cure... why did I put the cheap cone on Fifi last time?.. who knows. Silly me.

... A sparkly ambrosia treat for Marley.. (Why this whole scene plays out in the bathroom, I don't know.. lol .. but it did..

Floaty glowy doggy...

Presto chango! Marley's BACK!!

The age back treat.. and Marley's back to being an adult. I know this challenge doesn't have anything to do with ghosts and bringing back pets, etc.. or even pets in general.. but I just had to find out how it worked since I've never tried anything like it. And I missed Marley.

... Not again....

.. Yay!!

Sarah's birthday.

Awww.. What a cutie!

... Just two sisters eating dinner. ... Right?? Nope.. look closely.

.. Real closely.  FIFI! Sleeping under the table... ROFL!

Sarah's upgraded room.

Fixing the stove. That looks safe, there, Tyler. I'm amazed he has any hair left after the fix.

Whitney! Not you, too... why is everyone cooking when there's leftovers?!

.. Tyler cleans the grill. At least there's been no teenage cooking fires. Yet.

... Fifi has NEVER been in the pool. Marley? Several times a day and night. So cute!!

Whitney never once used the monkey bars. But at least Sarah does!

Sarah is a troublemaker. She's in time out for making MORE yard messes. After this I resort to grounding her. Twice. Finally, after that, she stops. Meanwhile, Marley is swimming with Marcus.

REALLY?! There's food on the patio table right next to you. And you make breakfast veggie burgers.... WHY?

.. Then Dad's making baked potatoes. Sigh. This family, I swear.. LOL.

Fifi playing with Sarah. And not with the puddle, for a change. (I think by this point, she'd learned not to.. hence why she's clean. For a change.)

Tyler trying out the new game system I stuck on the table while seeing if I could feasibly upgrade the TV. (I couldn't..  just not enough room.) The kids are at school, but apparently Tyler's not afraid to play by himself.

.. He then finds the new foosball table. Since nobody autonomously uses the puppet theatre. (which makes me sad).

The kids all came home.. and I had them all play Video Games. Dad won. .. Since he clearly practiced earlier. LOL

... And on the same day Marcus is scheduled to age up... Taylor finally has her birthday, too.

.. Poor baby. At least she'll be alive for a little while during the beginning of House 6, though!

Marley and Fifi playing. I am so going to miss these guys in the next house.

Marcus's turn.

And that's.. officially a wrap for House 5! Now for the wrap-up...

Taylor's finishing stats, starting with her aspiration, which I didn't really work on:

Her job:

Her skills:

Her stats: (since I didn't work on aspiration I ended up not buying any traits on her, either.)

And her Money and Mood:

What a great household this was!

Now, for Tyler's Stats starting with his aspiration, which I also didn't really work on:

.. His job:

.. and His Skills:

And his stats:

And showing the stats of the kids (other than Marcus, you'll have to wait for his...)

And, one last thing - since we were working on the postcards (I started late, or we could probably have finished it..)

Now, for the house. (I showed the treasure hunt photos a couple posts ago.. it's done, I just didn't see the need to take another picture of the array..)

Clearly, I had the house goal totally done. LOL. And, lastly, the mini house tour:

See you in the next house!!
