Great updates! I always love hearing from other sims than just the Immortals!
Happy Birthday to the Twins! They look lovely after their make-over. I do wonder what it can be that Tia's waiting for!
Congratulations on that Visa Level 3 and accompanying Vacation Home, as well as maxing Photography, Supermaxing Painting, and getting that Ice Personality (quite the list uh?!).
4 days to obtain Ice Personality is so incredibly fast! While keeping all needs in check (without a moodlet manager) the best I've managed is an average of 3 a day. So that's at least 5 days to get to 20 sculptures (4 clay included), and then another 2 (making 7ish) days to get to 25 ice sculptures (on a faster pace). 4 days?! Go Joss!
Btw, I absolutely LOVE that zebra painting. None of my sims - ever - have painted that. Is it a medium or a large painting? I need to find myself a sim-slave who won't do anything but paint until I get that!
