I had an update for my graphics card, so I opened my game to make sure everything was working all right (after fixing the options.ini file per NRaas instruction).
I decided it was time to say goodbye to the Castle family and move on to a new household. I left Aaron playing with his daughter, Lefay.
He also wanted to finish teaching her to walk.
The other three grownups were still watching TV, a romantic movie.
I chose the Bay Watch family for my next rotational check-in. Everyone was running around the world by themselves, except the toddler and the horse. Charlotte was heading for a garden on a paddle boat. In fact, all four grownups had bought themselves boats.
Even though they were involved in different activities, they were all hungry, and I had to make them find something to eat nearby--grilling and quick meals. Chris was playing an online social game at an empty pub.
Brigida was by herself, and I had to call a babysitter. The little tyke was also hungry and a little tired.
She headed for her toy box first thing.
Then the teen babysitter showed up wearing drab Medieval clothes and carrying a bright umbrella. The skies were still dark with rain and hail.
I didn't catch the sitter's name, but she was good with Brigida. I still told the household grownups to go home though. Derby the horse also needed some care.
The lighthouse style home has a special effects emitter in the top windowed tower: a strobe beacon that shows up after dark. I don't think it rotates, just flashes a bright green light.
I decided it was time to say goodbye to the Castle family and move on to a new household. I left Aaron playing with his daughter, Lefay.
I leveled some of the lot to make more usable space for Derby. I also built a small stall for him. In addition to the yard renovations, I knocked out a partial roof and rearranged the stairs on the second floor so that the middle room had access. It was totally closed off before.
Now the second floor has two bedrooms instead of one. I needed another double bed for the couples.
Clara and Daryl are Brigida's parents. They make a nice family.
Brigida survived her ghost beginnings and is now human, but for some reason, she still has lingering ghost sounds around her. I can't seem to completely convert her to a full human state. But she's doing fine otherwise.
