Last Round Mama J managed to max out all 7 of her skills earning not only her LTW, but an IW in the process.  For a CAS elder that is big points, and super excited for me to have done. Rich and Jenn danced and tried to get pregnant, she really wants another baby. Family Sunday was had and caused drama with the Norwoods, and Camden grew up into a romance teen.

So before we start the round, something strange happened with this lot.  I'm not 100% sure what caused it but I realized after I had played it that Rich and Jenn's LTW had switched around.  Jenn wanted to graduate 3 kids from college and Rich wants to be a Hall of Famer.  Neither had reached their LTW's yet so that wasn't the cause.  I also had an instance in which my USB drive (where I keep my neighborhood files) crashed.  Still not 100% sure if it was the drive or the port but backups were made, drive scanned and repaired and play was able to continue without issue.  I checked many of the other houses in the hood and all LTWs were correct still so it was just these two. I went ahead and reset their LTW to what they should be at the end of the round, but I did play this round thinking Jenn wanted to graduate 3 kids.

We start with Jenn and Rich where they tend to be, in bed.  Rich is getting an inheritance payout from someone, likely Moria who passed away in the last house we played.  Jenn still really wants another baby, but time is getting short and ACR's risky has not given in.

Rich is in the Law Enforcement career and wants to become captain hero.  He isn't very fit, but is doing pretty well in his career and got a few promotions this round.  On this day he brought a friend home with him.

Rich was then invited for an outing downtown.  I let him and Jenn go and quite a group came with them.  I don't remember which sim it was that invited him, but they went to a coffee shop I believe.  While there ACR had a couple of townies (I think) start crushing on each other and Rich and Jenn were all over each other as usual.

Rich ended up inviting the group to come hang out at their home and so they all piled into the taxi and came home where they watched TV and talked some more.  The outing ended as a Fun outing and many people stayed around after and hung out some more.

Unfortunately, though we hadn't yet seen her, right as the outing ended Grim showed up with his hula girls to take Mama J.  It was very hard on Jenn and Camden, who were very close with her.  She had a good life though, met her LTW and taught her family well.  It was Monday, November 4 in year 22 when she passed at around 8:13 PM.  She initially wasn't happy to see grim, but with drink, in hand, she was happy as she went. 

The family almost instantly received the inheritance left to them by Mama J.  She only had 1 non-family sim that she left money to, most of her time was spent skilling.

Rich got sick with the flu and then without prompting from me both father and son decided to go out and try to pet a skunk that had come on the lot.  Rich stopped before actually trying because he got in a coughing fit, but he was standing right next to Camden as he tried and got sprayed.

Camden, in other news, danced his way into getting offered the chance to visit the music and dance hobby lot.  He still does his homework every day and while he hasn't skilled much this round, he has lots of skill points, so uni should be pretty easy on him.  With this, he should also get the dancing scholarship.

Jenn wished, multiple times, to get a puppy.  Since we know there will be sims who want to raise puppies and kitties she went down to the pet shop and bought a couple of dogs.  They got along very well and pretty quickly were able to try for puppies.  It was a success and some puppies will arrive next round. The dog's names are Katie and Keith (named after the YouTube people I was watching at the time)

Rich got himself promoted and reached a money milestone, which made him very happy as a fortune sim.  I believe it was Jenn who brought home the woman in blue as she is in the Law career currently.  Her and Rich were getting past the point of having any more kids, so I had Jenn take a swig of elixir and then she started fertility treatments.  If risky doesn't give them a baby in the time it takes for her to get too old again they will only have Camden.

Camden had somehow, last round, not yet gone and gotten a cell phone, so Friday night he hit up Inter@ctive, which tends to be a teen hangout and bought one.  Sadly not really any teens were there that particular night, so he played some games and then went home.

With that, we are already through this house.  I admit I didn't do a whole lot with the family as I was worried about the crash that happened, so I was cautious.  Luckily everything seems to be working properly and I had no further issues or strangeness, so I might chalk it up to just some weird fluke or perhaps something that happened while I was attempting to fix something else. Either way, the hood checker was run and no issues found, and I have seen no additional hints that this neighborhood is headed towards disaster so I will just keep my backups going and proceed.
