The Sims 2 Presents: Foster's Valley!

[Cassini90125]

The best part about Sim cars is that even the cheapest ones require no gas. It wobbles a bit but it has an alarm (cost an extra $100.00), which will come in handy on the inevitable day when the Burglar shows up.

Day Five at the Never Forgotten house, either Wednesday or Friday depending on how you look at it (the game thinks it's Wednesday), started off pretty low-key. xxxClaire took her turn at the easel:



Linestra, not hungry enough for a full breakfast, dug into a bag of chips:



Imaginary Light, not hungry at all for some reason, killed time in front of the upstairs TV:



In truth I think she wasn't hungry because she was nervous about the arrival of the Foster's Valley private school Headmaster later that day; she had more riding on getting into private school than anyone else in the house. Jekylljuice and x_dummkoff_x, on the other hand, didn't care in the slightest about private school one way or another; after waking up and refusing to make their beds yet again, they headed directly for the kitchen and began making breakfast:



x_dummkoff_x was quite hungry and opted to take a crack at making pancakes; Jekylljuice, not so hungry, opted for cereal. Yeah, they keep their cereal in the refridgerator, dunno why. My guess is to keep the milk company. Lynnie and Sparky slept in and didn't get up until everyone else had left for class. Sparky also had the day off from the hot dog place, which is why today was the best day to wine and dine the Headmaster. Might've been a great day for a trip to the park, too, but I didn't want to run her and Lynnie down; too much to do at home that day. Anyway, at 1:00 PM the school bus arrived and the gang returned home:



Two of these three do not have homework today; I'll leave it to y'all to guess which one wasn't so lucky. Normally all child and teen Sims get homework, and they hate it; the latest addition to my arsenal of game modifications changes that. The "Homework Hack" makes homework assignments dependent on grades and adds a random element to the mix, plus some Sims now think homework is fun. Stars, I wish someone had hacked my life when I was in school. Some of the returnees were hungry, as was Sparky, so she got out the greens and got to work:



Chef salad again. No chance of a fire with that. Sparky was joined at the table by Linestra, who was distracted by something else entirely:



It's always a little unnerving when they act like they know I'm there. Here it's just a random turn of the head, and in other cases it's me repositioning the camera, but with one of them in another neighborhood I'm not so sure. Long story. A little after 5:00 PM the Headmaster arrived and Lynnie went out to greet him:



And then something went wrong; specifically, it turned out that the salads, pancakes, and cereal earlier in the day had depleted the refridgerator. Definitely not a good thing. There was still some cleaning to be done, too, and of course the Headmaster must be entertained. So, what do the responsible adults do about all this? What they always do at every opportunity:



Play with the Bubble Blower.
