Hi guys. Ok, I'm still not smiling yet but things are looking up.
Pam, yes, I tried to do all that but no go. I think I'll have dh read the instructions and give it a shot. I get very confused trying to read things online then go back and forth from the written word to the action I have to take. If the alternative wasn't so final I'd really hate getting old. lol
My second try is going ok though not as well as the first one. It took Hansome so much longer to woo and win Agnes. She was always at work as a stylist. I had her quit her job right away after the wedding as it was just a bit much for me to follow. She is now following her heart's desire which is to be an illustrative author. She's done two portraits of Hansome, neither of which I'm totally happy with, and one of the toddler which is really not good at all. I think she was tired at the time. This toddler is MUCH more demanding than the first one and needs constant attention and entertaining, so Agnes has a lot less time to practice ice sculpting and painting, let alone getting a full night's sleep. As a result, funds are in short supply. They are currently living in the basement which eventually will be huge and will be a museum for the immortals. Silly me I thought it would be cheaper than building walls above ground. DUH. Walls, are walls, down below or up above they still cost money. It's actually quite cozy down there and there is plenty of room and the illusion of windows. I borrowed Pam's great idea and put ivy on the wall in their bedroom. Looks great!
Strangely, when I went into SV to set this family up, there was no junkyard! There was a stylist, fire department and consignment shop but no junkyard of any sort or size anywhere. It was really strange because in the other SVs I have, there is a junkyard. Or was. Haven't checked them to see. Anyway, I assumed it would be ok to put one in, so I put the big one in at the end of Pinochle. Fit in well and looked good. Only problem is it isn't spawning any salvage. I sent Hansome in to dig through junk, thinking maybe that would trigger a spawn but no such luck. Should I just bull doze it and put in the smaller one, or wait and see what happens?
Rereading I see I shouldn't have sent my teenager to China anyway. Forgot she had to be a YA in order to go anywhere. So, guess it really doesn't matter that it's gone because it would have broken the rules and I'd have to do a do over anyway. Somehow that only sort of makes me feel better. I really do get attached to these people.
Thanks for the hugs!
