Yeah, Loren, it’s nice that you are so confident in yourself, but you’re literally blocking the bathroom when roughly eleven Sims have to pee.

I wanted something without commitment, to play whenever I don’t feel like playing Middleground, so I came up with this. My goal is to have all six children of Jon Smith Tricou grow up into adults (don’t know whether I’ll send them to college or not) and ultimately have one of them reach the top of the Occult career and revive Jon Smith and his family (a college degree would be helpful for that), all while leading happier lives than they- presumably- had before. For an added challenge, I might turn some of them into supernaturals during this… challenge?

So, this is 31 Mendoza Drive, the quite shabby home of the Teens (gotta appreciate Eaxis ‘moldy’/’shabby’ wallpapers. They are great!).

Swan, Kestrel, Tiave and Orion come back from school with varying degrees of happiness about their marks. Because each of them brought home a friend from school, poor Loren is beamed out of the school bus. I have no idea where Patrick is, but he is there. Somewhere.

This is what happens when you turn more than 40 Downtownies into Townies manually. It took them roughly 2 hours to clear the lot.

Disclaimer

From tonight onwards, I will alternate rounds of Middleground with days played of a new “project” of mine (because my queue and drafts sections hold roughly 150 posts combined and I’m really ticked off about having too much unposted stuff). I hope you’ll like it as much as I do, and don’t worry: I won’t stop playing Middleground. In fact, I just fired up my game to play the neighbourhood again.

(I’m not sure I like my method of alternating both neighbourhoods. If you by any chance have an idea how to do it better, feel free to hit me up.)

Remington visits with good news: he has found a house and they will be able to move in immediately. Looks like everything will turn out alright for this little family after all.

Domestic life. Christy (whose hobby is Tinkering by the way) is a big fan of that little RV.

With a young baby, sleep is far and few. Somehow, Christy finds herself taking out the trash at 4 in the morning.

It’s a boy: Timothy ‘Tim/Timmy’ Stratton.

He moves into his provisory nursery on the upstairs landing. Actually, if everything goes according to plan, they won’t stay in this house for much longer. Christy’s current boyfriend Remington is trying to secure a loan to buy a bigger house with more than enough room to fit all three of them.

Late that night, Christy finds herself in labour: The baby’s coming!

Andrea’s next door neighbour, Christy, spends her last day of pregnancy at home.
