Week 4 - Round 8 - 11 Oak Square (Luworld-Barrett)

Welcome back folks! Last night I spent three hours going through all the hacks that MATY had said were Seasons friendly to find the ones that I need that aren't really cheating, just more like fixing things that Maxis should have fixed long ago. Oh, and being able to buy clothes at home! So if something bad happens it's not my fault. They said that these were safe. I've also put back in my inSiminator since the OBJ version is supposed to work fine. I don't need it at this house, but how are all my other same-sex couples supposed to get pregnant otherwise? Having said that we'll return you to your normally scheduled blog.

Welcome to 11 Oak Square, designed by Nanamouskoury of TSR. This is the new home of Tara Luworld, Magenta, and Abhijeet Barret, who will be arriving shortly.

As you can see these two have gotten right down to their routines. I believe Tara's on the phone with Abhijeet, trying to figure out when his flight gets in, lol.

"Welcome home sweetheart!"
Abhijeet brought $12,000 with him that he'd earned in college.

Nope, you can't keep that shirt, it's the trademark of Grizou. We'll fix that soon.

"Oh my! This is such a suprise!"
Yeah right you little fake.

They are a cute couple though. I can't wait to see what their kids look like.

Woohoo!
(that's meant to have both meanings, btw)

Phoenix was the only member of the welcoming commitee, but he and Abhijeet seem to be hitting it off well.

Yeah, that's definetly Tara!

No job in athletics today so Abhijeet got a job as a Coffee Shop Sound Engineer. Woot!

It's kind of sad when grown men do their college cheer together, but funny!

Tara's off to get started on her lifetime want. First things first, we'll purchase some collars. Yes, I said collars. We're getting two new family members today. I want the dogs mainly trained before Tara has children.

Such a cute picture of all the dogs, right down to the piddle puddle. All of Tara's pets are from the cartoon Blue's Clues. Although, if you've seen it you'll notice that it's rather hard to make dogs that look like the characters.

It turns out Tara caught a catfish while she was fishing at April and Eddie's house. We just had to try out the recipe! Looks all yummy and sparkly!

Time to find jobs for Blue and Green Puppy and Tara. Blue got security and Green got service. Tara got Law.

Tara then got started on training the two newest dogs. Tomorrow automn starts, so it should go faster then.

I love the way all the expansion packs mesh together, at least when they're not causing glitches!

It was decided that since Blue is such a Doofus, it would be best to hire the Pet Trainer for her.

Amber and Oliver showed up for a visit and headed right for Blue. I wonder why?

Apparently the Pet Trainer didn't quite finish Blue off. I'm not sure if she's looking at the leaves or if that's her stay pose.

For once Tara had the want to teach one of the dogs a command the dog actually needed for a promotion. What a miracle!

It's Wednesday and one of my sims if FINALLY heading off to work.

The weatherman has been predicting snow or hail most of the day, so Tara's moved her crop indoors. However, the weatherman never seems to get it right, rendering him completely useless.

One promotion out of the way, and unlike Neil, Tara actually got the aspiration points for it!

Blue got a promotion too!

"Play with me? Please?"

That's a lot of food bowls to fill, but at least there's less chance of one of the dogs starving and being taken away.

Tara's finally off to her first day of work looking quite snazzy in her suit.

That's right guys, make sure she gets off this lot.

I'm sorry Abhijeet. I really thought that the parents would want to hear the classic.

Abhijeet managed to get another job, this time in the athletic track.

He then went back to his favorite thing, painting!

This is Magenta's favorite thing to do, she just sits here and watches tv half of the day.

Tara? Loretta doesn't live here. That means that you're going to have to clean that dog house yourself.

I'm so sorry Blue, I thought he might have been hurt or drugged.

Oddly enough, Baxter never came by to visit. He's been searching for her all over town, but now that I'm at her house he's absent.
