Well, that's him.-D: *appalled* YOU DROVE CLARA CRAZY?!-
I didn't mean to! Swear on the DeLorean, Doc, it was an accident! I didn't want to drive her looney-tunes!
As you might have guessed, I had some interesting Sims today. Sunday at the Claytons, Lorraine and Jennifer both learned how to make omlettes when they had their breakfast. Clara had the day off, which turned out to be a good thing. Jennifer accidentally broke the tub after taking a bath. I stopped Clara's lecture -- I mean, wasn't Jennifer's fault, random Sim event -- and had Clara fix it while Jennifer had Marty over. She and Marty got all lovey-dovey as usual as Clara also unclogged the toilet. After Marty left, I had Jennifer call up Abjiheet Cho to make friends. She succeeded, but he was so low in relationship points I had her call him back and invite him over. He asked to bring a friend -- I agreed, thinking it was Doc (who had called earlier.) Nope -- Holly. Jennifer firmed up her relationship with Abjiheet while Lorraine came home and promptly played chess with Holly. After they were dismissed, Marty showed up again on his own. I had Jennifer give him a kiss and send him on his way.
Monday was a work day for everybody. Clara cleaned the tub autonomously, which was good -- one of her big wants was to get to level nine in cleaning. At work, Clara made Top Secret Researcher! Now this is where things got sticky. I had her put on the Thinking Cap, forgetting that it only works properly if you're in Gold level or above. Clara was in green, so the darn thing shorted out, sucked away one of Clara's skill points, and knocked her out. Poor Clara realized a fear. I let her sleep for a while, then sent her to bed. Jennifer brought home a new pal, Edward, and had a quick chat with him before sending him home. Lorraine also had her pal Pollination Tech #9 over.
Clara woke up late Monday night/early Tuesday moring, hungry. She decided to have salmon -- I decided, "cool, I don't have to make that decision." I should have.
She set the stove on fire.
And turns out fire was a fear of hers, and coupled with her early disaster -- well, she was not equipped for it. Right after Weldon put out the flames, she collapsed into a gibbering heap. The Sim Shrink dropped from the sky after a bit and hypnotized her back into semi-wellness. I let her have a shower, then had her fulfill a want to gain some cleaning skill to get her back on the road to wellness.
-D: You actually cared?-
I don't want her bonkers, Doc. Let's put it this way -- if she was a family Sim, and the best way to make her well was to have her fall in love, you would have been there.
-D: *blush* Sorry.-
*huggle* It's okay. Clara did end up talking to Professor Von Ball before I got her out of the red.

Luckily both Clara and Lorraine had the day off -- I had Clara skill-build and try to satisfy small wants. Lorraine made best friends with Holly over the phone. Wednesday, Lorraine had another day off, and I had Clara skip work -- she just woke up too late. I used the energizer and had her study hard. She finally got her point and went into gold, letting me use the thinking cap for her last point. Jennifer brought Tiffany home, but I sent Tiff home fast. Jennifer played piano for a while -- the girls love the thing. Lorraine also had George over, he brought Pollination Tech. I'd planned for them to fall in love, and they did -- but because George decided to flirt with Lorraine before I could do anything. *sigh* They fell in love, and I had them do a bit of kissing. I also locked Lorraine's want to get engaged to George. Clara managed to max her Cleaning skill and get to platinum mood. Jennifer asked her if she could go out with Marty, Clara said yes, and Marty picked Jennifer up at eight -- in a limo!
-M: A limo?!-
-J: Cool!-
That's what I thought. That's where I left you for the night.
Watched part of Part II today, in 2015 -- from when they arrived to when the police picked up Jennifer. I also watched the outtakes and the "Power of Love" music video. :P

Lloyd: (trying to stall) He's got it in his car?
Fox: (trying not to laugh) Yeah.
Lloyd: (giving up) Damn, well, which way?

And good news about Lorraine and George- ah they're so cute together! :O) Did you get any pics of them falling in love ;O)
I'm having a bit more trouble keeping my Sims in a good mood, I swear I'm putting to many in the house or something. I'm trying to get George to grow into a kid, but he's always in a bad aspiration mood or about to fall asleep or something.
Also did you know if you don't turn aging on off and have a birthday party the Sim goes back to the beginning of the age stage? Maybe this only works for toddlers, but that's what I've seen so far. Maybe you won't need the Exlir of Life for Doc after all.
Keep on Simming!
