Back to this family's introduction | On to Week 2 (Coming soon)

Well, it's time to do my next family in the townie rotation. (And the starting picture.. yes.. it snowed in Oasis Springs this week. What the heck?!) Since publishing the introduction, there's been a Freelancer career introduced, and that sounds like something perfect for a Lazy sim like Nina, so that's the first thing I do. Get her a "job" .. or at least something to do, because I don't plan on starting a family this first week. They simply don't have the money to upgrade the house. Hence the getting a job thing.

Next thing to do is to get them together.

First a little chat.

Then checking out the clouds.. through the roof. Because Sims Logic. At least Nina's outfit is cute.

Ooohh.. Romance!

Way to go, Steve!

Poor Nina.. she asked him to marry her... and he refused. Don't worry Nina, we'll ask again.

Never tried this Freelancer thing.. so we give it a go. Interesting mechanic with the "gigs" like Acting.

Then, her sister randomly stops by and I decide we really ought to talk to her.

Steve needed to practice music for his work.. so here he is.. playing a guitar. Badly.

Bye, sis! It was great talking to you!

Back to "work". Researching reference images on the computer.

"Ooohh.. Shiney!" See, Nina, I told you we'd get you two together!

Dinner. Garden salad, of course, so he doesn't burn down the house.

Being funny to sims for his aspiration.

Harvestfest! Wonder if Grim Reaper Gnome likes coffee?

Nope. Sorry!!

Forgiven. Whew.

Inner tube gnome likes pie. First try.. Way to go, Steve.

That Grand Breakfast looks burnt there, Steve. Ew.

.. But at least it fulfills the tradition. Even if it is a poor meal.

Work. I'm starting to get tired of those undies, girlie.

Celebrate the night with a little woohoo? Of course!

Spooky Day! Let's have fun with pumpkins.

Hooray! Success!

Too cute. Nina, you did a good job.

Steve's turn. I choose a green one this time.

Hehe. Love the crooked one.

Working on handiness. Somebody's got to.

A costume before work to cap off the evening.

Never saw a trick or treater.. but we found a ghost to chat to in our Maid costume.

See? I told you someone was going to need Handiness.

With mostly Nina's money earned, and a few promotions from Steve, we finally afford to expand the house and add the pool that this house is just screaming for.

Our last day - and Mom, Katrina, stops by.

Can't see it, but Nina got an award at work, and it's above the computer now.

These are from her work, too, and they fit here like they were meant to be.

And that's this family's week. Pretty boring stuff.. but you gotta have some boring stuff to get to the fun stuff, right?
That.. and having a small family for playing was a bit of a relief for a change.

See you next post!
