ink_sec_simsI dub this week "Someone From Every Family Visits A Community Lot Week." Dave McFly did the honors for me today - let's see where he went.
First, though, let's see what happened this morning. George is eating, Marty is getting a boatload of charisma, Lorraine is helping Linda with her homework (she STILL hasn't finished her assignment or learned to study!), and Dave is grooving to the phonograph.
Dave and Linda head to school (Linda abandoning her homework in the process, argh), leaving the adults to entertain themselves. With red hands, you perverts.
Awww, George plays with Marty. Look at that smile! Though, really, do toddlers enjoy being held upside-down?
They must! George and Marty are now best friends! (I was going to say "the bestest of friends," but then I remember that new BFF feature. . . .)
George studies Cleaning, both for his work and for his Aspiration score. I'm terrible at managing these guys -- either their needs are taking a beating, or their Aspiration is.
Dave comes home seeking fun, and I decide to send him to another part of the island to get it. Specifically, he goes to Inkwell Secundus Micro Mall. Those of you with OFB will recognize this as a slightly-redone Bluewater Village Micro Mall -- I filled up the shelves, added a proper food court with the new gyro stand, and put in a coffee shop.
Dave and a guy named Isaac locate a TV in the Robotics shop and talk about their houses while watching the chicken movie. "Yeah, I just moved in, got a nice place down by the beach. . . ."
Still in search of fun, Dave tries out my very steampunky photo booth. Awesome recolor, no?
"Dave McFly, you are one handsome devil."
But what really fills up his fun meter? Looking at the signs above each shop. Oookay. . . .
The chick standing in front of him in the last pic was a teenager, so I had him say hello and start a conversation. Never too early to start searching for a teen love. Her name is Amaya Wilson, by the way. "So, I think recycling is the best thing ever. . . ."
She rates only a "meh" on his hotness scale. Ah well, there will be other chances to find you a girlfriend.
Dave was looking a little peckish, so I decided to go ahead and try out the vending machine. I really think these are some of the neatest things ever.
His food of choice? A large bag of chocolate balls. (Called Chocolate Clusters in-game.)
Which he then proceeds to scarf down. I don't think any jokes I could make could match what you might be thinking.
Back at home, Linda is suffering from severe fun depletion. I told you, I kinda suck at this family right now.
Fortunately, Lorraine is willing to lend a very strong hand. Whooosh!
Dave also offers his assistance, trying to get on better terms with his little sister. All this still wasn't enough to get her to do her homework, though. *grumble*
I remember Marty hasn't learned the nursery rhyme yet and set Lorraine to teaching him.
Success comes with best friendship - now if only she'd had a want to be best friends with HIM, instead of her other two kids. Seriously, she's slipped into the red because all of her wants revolve around Dave and Linda and are things I can't quite accomplish yet. *facepalm*
Marty "thinks" about his new best friend, while Lorraine "thinks" about the nursery rhyme -- why doesn't that have its own unique memory icon, anyway?
Our two younger children raid the toybox. Careful, Marty, you look like you're going to get bisected there.
LORRAINE! That is HARDLY ladylike! And since does soup give you gas? Did you fill it with beans?
You see a shot of George spooning up to Lorraine. I see a flu-ridden George possibly infecting his wife. At least he got a promotion with the sickness.
Not so much happening this time, though I discovered that, in addition to three Makotos, I have two Vyns -- Vyn Jeffress, a store clerk, and Vyn Scott, an elderly lady. Game, stop recycling names like that!
