GO HOME, PAO!
You know what? Cruel irony. While Sandy the Romance Sim finds parenting a breeze, poor Christy somewhat struggles with it. Her aspiration meter is high enough, but she constantly hungry, stressed out or exhausted. But then again, Sandy is financially stable and can afford nice furniture, while Christy and Remington are dirt-poor and have only the cheapest furniture… And we all know how important expensive furniture is for the well-being of a Sim.

On a positive note, Andy just learned how to walk. Go, Andy! (And with that, the twins have learned everything they need. Time to grow up, I guess?)
Over at the little farmhouse (?) where the Harris family lives…
Puppies and kittens with patterns you say? Indeed! It turns out that coat patterns can be enabled for the tiny ages, so I jumped right on it and threw together a new download to share with all of you. And let me tell you, they are so cute! I absolutely adored having kittens and puppies run around with markings on them, and it even had the added bonus of making each one more easily distinguishable from their siblings. As with most all pet mods I’ve had experience with, this will only affect pets that haven’t yet been born in game. No magically appearing markings, sorry guys. Even so, just imagine the possibilities!
I hope you guys will have as much fun with this cuteness as I am!
Sometimes, parenthood means that you have to interrupt your dinner to potty train your daughter. As long as Sandy still manages to have time for herself, I don’t think I have to worry too much about the two of them. Romance Sims can be loving parents, too. And both Sandy and Brandon dearly love their little princess.
Housework. Sandy still has quite a few vacation days, so I figured it would be easier to let her stay at home than to hire a nanny.
It’s getting warmer again, so Sandy changed into something a bit more appropriate for the warmer weather.
“Say Mama!”
Cue temper tantrum.

She eventually got it, though.
Chloe is up early next morning and therefore, Sandy, too.
He doesn’t stay for the night, though. Sandy doesn’t mind. She’s exhausted.
Sorry, Brandon. He got a bit neglected because Sandy (and I) was busy taking care of little Chloe. But she made up with a little slow dance.
