The reason that Bobby can afford this house is because of his fiancée Brandi. Brandi was quite generous while the two of them were dating in college. Bobby made a quick pit stop on his way home to sell some of her more extravagant gifts so that he could buy them a nice house.

"Did I ever tell you the one about the gold fish and the barman?"

Anything in Culinary?
"No, but I got a job as a High School Principal."
Umm, ok, whatever floats your boat.

Bobby had just headed outside to try his hand at fishing when his welcome wagon arrived. Normally this would be fine, but they spent forever milling around trying to find a couple of pieces of level ground so that they could be greeted, and none of them tried to ring the doorbell. Once all that was settled the sat down to a nice fresh garden salad. To refresh your memories, the rather oriental lady in blue is Amber Wetstein-Graham, the gent next to her is Weldon Collin, and the lovely african american lady is Cadence Jalowitz-Chalmers.

"Hewwo, I'm Mr.Bear."
"Sure thing lady"

Hey Maxis, I get that weather was tough and all, but why can't we see rain or snow from inside the house?

Good grief, the bear is taking over the house!

Now that everyone's full, it's time to do a little fishing. Some of these people get very little leisure time in their own homes and I feel I owe it to them. Mr.Bear tagged along to supervise.

Yay Bobby! You caught your first fish, I'm so pround, sob.

Well, fishing was fine, but since nobody is particularly good at it, they weren't having much fun, so it was time for a free-for-all waterballoon fight!

It's only the first day of summer, so Bobby got a bit chilly, what with all the water soaking through his sweatshirt, and decided to light a fire. Seems like he was the only one smart enough to use it though.

"This is the life," thought Bobby, "sitting in front of a warm fire with a good book."

"High-Ho, High-Ho, it's off to work I go"
Bobby is a very cheery sim.

Mr. Bear strikes again! Neil followed Bobby home from work, which works out well. There's someone I want him to meet.

It's time to ask Brandi to join the story. We'll just give them a moment.

The obligatory "Move In" picture.

I'm cursed with sims who have rotten fashion sense. To the mirror with you wench.

Slow dancing in the kitchen, man these guys are going to give me a cavity.

Bobby has an even better idea, romancing his lady in front of a roaring fire. Smooth moves Bobby.

These two sure do have a lot of scenic places to get all hot and bothered.

They finally settled down to do some skill building. They've both decided to wait until the weekend to hold the wedding. There's a better chance of them both having the day off.

Speaking of which, it's time for Brandi to get a job. I really had no preference for her career, and in the end she ended up in the adventure career track. At least it has some fun outfits to make fun of.

I bet you're glad now that you gave Bobby this piano as a thank-you for a great date. Bobby actually didn't need to sell all his presents to buy the house, so he still has a few that have been placed around the rather sparsely furnished house.

Sweetheart, you don't have children yet, in fact, you're not even married yet, but Mr. Bear will give you a hug if you want.

It was promotions all around for the family which meant a night cuddled up on the sofa skill building. Good thing Bobby got the golden bookcase, Brandi was way too tired to work out.

Maxing Out Logic

Way to go Bobby, not bad for a Pleasure sim.

Bobby's already left for work, and Brandi doesn't leave till 2pm, so it's time to get started on her portrait.

"It's so nice to have such a lovely view while I'm scrubbing down the kitchen."

Brandi manages to leave just as the exterminator shows up. Someone or something knocked over the garbage can and nobody noticed until it was too late. Luckily for me, Brandi hasn't noticed our little infestation yet. I love this outfit, it actually looks really good on a lot of my sims, unlike the ugly blue suit she had on yesterday.

Way to go Bobby, I guess I'll let you switch to culinary after your wedding this weekend. And look, he's brought home Samantha Ottomos and her problem pregnancy. Joy.

Even the Education Minister has to clean up after the exterminator. Life's just not fair that way sometimes.

That's it for this round. I'll leave you with a picture of Bobby and Brandi's newly refurbished bedroom, and let them enjoy a good night's sleep.

Or so I thought, Bobby had other plans though. He woke up at 4:30 with a craving for pancakes, silly boy.
