It’s a Saturday, and Erin’s got the day off! Time to tend to those poor neglected tomatoes.
Oh no, poor Erin :(
In a moment of inspiration I gave Finn a pirate themed makeover, to match his “sailor” trait. He’s going through a phase.
Penelope: Bang! I shoot you dead!
Finn: I dodge it!
Penelope: What? That’s so not fair. I trample you with my horse!!
Finn: You can’t have a horse on a boat!
Penelope: Why not????
Finn: We always play cowboys, I thought we were pirates this time!
All right, time to get inside, I’m not having another sim get struck by lightning.
Finn: Mom, I think you used too much salt!
Penelope: I think it’s too much pepper.
Erin: You’re both very discerning critics. I might have gone a little overboard with the seasoning for a child’s palette-
Lewis: *inhaling soup* I think it’s great, mom!
Fucking unbelievable????
Duncan: This is such a bad idea.
Erin: It’s fine, dear. Just a one-time-thing to celebrate your promotion.
Duncan: I didn’t realise you were getting desperate, babe. Don’t you have like, guys at work who you could-
Erin: I don’t fuck my coworkers, Duncan. We can’t all be as unprofessional as you.
They are both still mad about the divorce (they even still have "furious" tags!) but I guess LIFE FINDS A WAY.
Duncan: Babe, you have no fucking idea how much I’ve missed being with you like this, I-
Erin: That’s nice, but you’re the one who said we shouldn’t make things weird… let’s just pretend it never happened, okay? A one time thing, like I said.
Duncan: What? Was I no good, or-
Erin: Look, we both know the answer to that, Duncan. Don’t pretend you need reassurance on that particular front.
Duncan, please.
Lewis: And if you move one of their beds- watch out! No ghost will forgive that!!!
I decided to take Lewis out of the house for a bit - give one of our potential heirs a little room to breathe!
Lewis: Is Bustin’ Out any good?
Cashier: I dunno, I’m not really much of a gamer. When I’m not working here I’m playing basketball!
Lewis: And you’re on the team? That’s so cool! My Dad plays and my kid brother and sister are both huge sports nuts, but I’ve never really been any good…
Cashier: Well, it takes practice! People don’t just ‘luck’ into being good at stuff.
Lewis: Oh man, you haven’t met my dad… The hat is really cool, by the way!
Cashier: Thanks! When you work some lousy customer service job with a uniform you gotta find other ways to express yourself, y’know?
Coffee & a quick game before it’s time to get back home.
Aiyanna: Haha, take that! Fuck you!!!
Erin: Aiyanna! You came over to see Finn?
Aiyanna: Uh, yeah! That’s totally what I came over for. No idea how the trash got like this.
Erin: It’s good to see you, dear. How are you holding up?
Aiyanna: I’m okay! Still kind of nursing a broken heart? But was bound to turn out like this in the end, right?
Erin: Oh, honey. I’m sorry.
Aiyanna: How are the kids?
Erin: They’re a handful, but they’re doing well. Do you want to come in and see them, or..?
Aiyanna: Oh, no, it’s probably getting a bit late, right? and I might be tempted to break something
I’ve been gradualy making over the bedrooms upstairs - this is Lewis & Finn’s.
And Penny’s room! Thanks to the traits mod she pretty much only plays with the horse.
Penelope: That’ll be $9.50, Daddy.
Duncan: Shouldn’t you be in bed? Do I need to have a word with your brother about how he treats his child-labour employees?
Duncan: can’t believe my ex-wife would friendzone me like this
Duncan: Mornin’. I made breakfast.
Erin: You poured ceareal.
Duncan: Yeah, for like 5 people! Can we all appreciate my effort, please?
Lewis: Thanks, Dad!
It’s kinda cute seeing them all having breakfast together like a functional family!
The kids enjoy a lazy Sunday morning. I dunno where Finn was, aparently I got no pictures of him.
