For the first time ever, I had to have a sim take unpaid days off from work. Emma Hatch is living with a CAS party animal that I created and, between all the partying, she:
1) Was severely behind on her cooking skill
2) Was living in a hovel (who has time to clean when you're partying?
)
3) Was barely sleeping.
4) Had no time to pursue her romance with Ayesha Ansari
5) Was constantly in the middle on her mood bar.
I had her take 5 days off (turned into seven due to her scheduled days off) and now she's level 9 in cooking, has some athletic skill (i always have her lose weight, just not a lot because I like her looking "healthy" as opposed to "fat" or "rail thin"), is topped out on the mood bar, and is engaged to Ayesha. Hurray!
