Adventures in Simdom
I am not addicted. Stop looking at me like that.
Anyway, yesterday, as planned, I constructed a custom mansion for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nentikobe, kobrin, and their six kids. I made them the proud parents of sethoz, shining_phoenix, and blcksunaphelion, plus gave them three random sons named James, John, and Adam. James is a redhead, John is blond, and Adam has black hair. Screencaps to come when I get home. The reason I did that, instead of adding vampyric_lycan to the club, is because the girls already outnumber the boys in this neighborhood. Don't worry though, Dru, I'll get you in there yet. (If anyone else wants to live in my little dream world, just let me know.)
The mansion I made for them is pretty splendid. It's rectangular, with an open-air courtyard in the center. The top floor is a dance club and bowling alley. Unfortunately, I neglected to leave enough room on the lot for a driveway, so they can't have a car. But I finished the mansion and moved the family in. At about that time, wash load #3 was done in the washing machine, so I paused the game (I thought) and went to put away clean laundry and move wet laundry into the dryer.
I came back twenty minutes later and found that I had NOT successfully paused the game. Kerri, who was my active character at the moment, was weeping and shouting. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. In the courtyard, though, were some objects I'd never seen before, so I investigated them more closely.
They were graves.
In the time that I was gone, the entire family starved to death. Whoops.
Of course I got them back, I just had to exit without saving. Unfortunately, that meant I lost roughly half my house edits and had to remake the mansion's interior. But I thought I would share that little story for those of you who are old-time Sims players, you can have a good laugh at my dopey error. :)

Must...not...sink money...into...new...obsession...
(Incidentally, the one I bought is The Sims 2 Deluxe, which comes with the Nightlife expansion for free. It was only about $20 at Walmart, so if you give in to the urge, I suggest trying that.)

Oh, nifty! Next time I manage to get over there, I'm going to have a look around and see if I can find that. ^_^
