I opened up the kitchen area to create more space. Rearranged furniture and changed a few color schemes.

Enlarging and Renovating the Home
Baby Yoda, Yoga, Windenburg, and More
I did a little more experimenting with objects and activities. Dave and Rachel made progress in their careers and skills and Nova aged up from puppy to adult.
Added the Baby Yoda sculpture to the house.

Pets, Holidays, and New Activities
I discovered that my pets mated on their own. I didn't know that could happen--wasn't prepared for another dog! Corgi and Welsh had a little female puppy. I named her Nova. She looks like her parents, but has different coloring and markings.
As soon as I had a chance, I took Corgi and Welsh to the vet clinic to be spayed and neutered. The process can be reversed, but I didn't want any more surprises!
Dave and Rachel toasted in the New Year.

A New Family in Sims 4: The Peran Household
After taking a long break from Sims 3, I decided to give Sims 4 a chance. I bought the Sims 4 Digital Deluxe/Seasons combo, Cats & Dogs, Parenthood, Tiny Living, and the free Holiday Celebration download. I also have a few Digital Deluxe extras: Up All Night, Life of the Party, Awesome Animal Hats, and the Digital Soundtrack. I bought these at a Steam sale, but then found out that Origin has to run too. Oh well, it hasn't really been a problem so far.
I've been trying to get used to the new game mechanics. Sims 4 seems to be very similar to 3 though, and it's been easier to switch versions than I thought it would be. I did install a few tuning mods, but want to keep those to a minimum. One of my issues with playing Sims 3 is that managing all the content and CC I had accumulated was becoming somewhat of a pain.
Here are some screenshot highlights from my first few hours of game play, featuring Dave Peran (Bodybuilder Aspiration, Astronaut Career), Rachel Loft (Friend of the Animals, Veterinarian Career), Corgi (female dog), and Welsh (male dog).
