At the House of Fallen Trees (see PV 8/19/20) it was Sunday, which means the kids pretty much ran wild the entire day, while the butler and maid followed them around, cleaning up messes. At night Matthew and Maura continued to work on the skills they'll need for careers in Criminal and Law, respectively. Law came up after midnight, so I had Maura go ahead and take that in preparation for the criminal lair that will form once some of the kids clear out. Still no Criminal job for Matt, however, so he'll keep on skilling and waiting. I won't start moving in other criminals until he reaches Criminal Mastermind.
Andrzej Landgraab (see PV 8/20/20) had the day off and both he and Stacy were due for outings. Since they both had Brooke Larson on their list of friends, I decided to have them do a joint group outing (at their apartment because they can't afford to pay a nanny). Here's the tricky part: Brooke is Stacy's brother Luke's ex and the mother of three of his children. Luke and Brooke broke up not long ago. Luke was also on Stacy's list, so it would seem she was rooting for them to get back together. However, Brooke was on Andrzej's list because he's been having an affair with her. In addition to Brooke and Luke, the outing also involved Stacy's mother Amelia, Andrzej's sister Holly, and his friend from college Brenda. At first, everything was going fine; Brooke and Luke were avoiding each other and Andrzej was tied up talking on the phone. But then Brooke decided to make Andrzej jealous by flirting with Luke in front of him. Andrzej became furious, naturally, and started slapping everyone. His sister Holly also slapped Luke in solidarity with her brother. The outing score plummeted, causing it to end immediately and everyone left. Andrzej and Stacy had a huge argument right after. I guess she was mad at him for interrupting her matchmaking; I wonder what excuse he gave her? In any event, their marriage remains intact, the affair is over, and Stacy is none the wiser about it.
Sophie Young (see PV 8/20/20) spent the day at home alone, while her boyfriend Eric Parker was at work. When he got home, he was dead tired, so Sophie took the opportunity to hang out with some friends. The outing went well and she came home happy. She and Eric spent a little time together and then she went to bed (taking her final vacation for Science), while he went out with his friends and returned home to do some stargazing for logic. He went to bed just as she was getting up. She checked for Criminal on the computer, but it wasn't there. She'll continue to work in Science, taking any vacation days she earns immediately, until Criminal comes up at which point she'll switch.
Happy Simming!
