@FrancescaFiori I'm also trying to figure out how to bring Mina out from the cold. But Go carried around a Sad moodlet for days then she made horrible faces while mentoring Kyle in Granite Falls.
Lately, Mina is kept busy meditating or fishing, hehe. She will find her way back.
I'm glad you like Surfer Dude--Erika looked so good at the wedding that I thought she could chill with the much younger Surfer Dude. And he is nothing if not devoted to her. ;-)
When an adult is in the pool with a child, the adult can find "coach swimming" in the same part of the Friendly menu as "Mentor." Try it, try it, try it!!! lol
@Luna264 Thank you! Seems that my body needed more sleep than I'd been providing. And may I ask, what is "the Houseplant Incident" you mention?
@Joria Now that Makoa and Jade have already been mentored in their career-related skills (writing and painting, respectively), there's not much for the other adults to do, especially since they have enough points to buy enough Potions of Youth to look purty for the duration of the challenge. So Sara didn't really need to be locked in her bedroom, except I was annoyed that she took 4 sim-weeks to write her last two bestsellers. Actually, I had her write Fantasy novels instead and her next 2 out 3 novels were bestsellers. *groan
And to be honest, I've also been known to lock sims into a room with Focused decor, an end table, and a comfy chair to read their 3 books for the Renaissance Sim aspiration. My sims drop actions from their queues like hot potatoes, I swear! *pulls hair
