Sighh... yet another Immortal Dynasty attempt foiled by crashing technology. I was only one gen in, but I was trying to play it just base game to see if it could be done, so GRRRR.
So I moved in Agnes and the Harts, since I'd need my founder to stick to his ONE skill - base game doesn't leave too many options for backups. Agnes rolled constant wishes to date/kiss my founder, but I wanted to use Bebe, so I cancelled them. Waited for the next day to have Bebe's birthday, got them involved, but then got sidetracked to take care of motives, etc.
Dorie had set one fire earlier that day, so I finished that up, replaced everything and queued up tasks for everyone but Bebe who I'd sent to the spa. Went to focus away from the home lot. My founder was at work, and as far as I could tell, no one else was at home!
Next thing I know, camera pans over to a completely spontaneous fire in my oven, AGAIN, so I cancel Bebe's fishing across the road and send her home to call the fire dept and start putting it out --
(Bebe's cake is still even on the table)
There was another fireman! RIGHT THERE!
Once Bebe passes, and Grim shows up... my founder proceeds to turn on the stereo and starts dancing,
through her dead ghost head till Grimmy finishes the reaping.
And about a Sim hour later, Agnes throws up the kiss for the first time/get married/go on a date wishes for my founder AGAIN... Sometimes I feel they really do manipulate us from inside the game ....
