I usually check SimPE as I notice life bars getting shorter. I like to be prepared to shoot the deaths, especially those of my main characters.

I do have the sim blender, but I forgot to put it on the vacation lots. It's very useful when kiddies come home from private school in their uniforms.

Lila is the only one so far who like sliding down the banisters. I hope I get a few more though. It's a great interaction.

Lips are sealed on Marsha. You'll just have to read the next few chapters.
