A new expansion

I actually did this a couple of days ago, just never got round to writing anything up…

Alright, as part of my Xmas shopping, I got a few things for myself. So along with Pokémon Diamond, I got another copy of Seasons (the first one I gave to Avril), and Bon Voyage - to make the game completely up to date. Installed, did the first run crap, and got back to our favourite little Greek House

Anyway, first things first was to go looking in the Buy menu for new stuff. Nothing much changed except that the pool’s diving board, is now a water slide - plus the pool has new floor-level surrounding lights. There are also a couple of new trees out front since Chris randomly had a want to buy a tree.

Anyway, back to playing and the first thing I noticed was that Shanna’s Aspiration and Needs were decaying normally! A good thing, as now she’s playable as a normal character rather than a zombie, and also now the girls bathroom will get some use
I also decided later on that her old look was also being used by several other townies, so off to the boutique to buy a new look!

Anyway… I really need to stop starting new paragraphs with anyway…

The rest of the household were busy working on their grades (yea, right!), making/keeping friends and generally living. Brian was almost caught in the master bed again, but escaped punishment for now. What could have been punishing however was the fact that during a thunderstorm (another plus for Seasons), one of the new trees got struck by lightning and went on fire! Wasn’t as big of a deal as by the time Jessie got to the phone (he was the closest Sim in sight when I noticed), the rain had put out the fire. Kinda handy I must admit, but still scary…

Jessie also had a bit of a falling out with Chris and Shanna after he apparently caught Shanna cheating on him. It’s very weird though as he only had a crush of her, whilst Chris and Shanna, by now, were in love! A little friendly hug set him off, which is really odd. Also, a new housemate arrived in the form of… well someone. I forget their name. Which is one of the reasons I need to not wait so long after playing before posting one of these!

On the academic front, Chris maintained his perfect 4.0 GPA with another A+, which was surprisingly matches by Brian and Jessie… Shanna also notched up an A+. The three lads are now into their final year in college, whilst Shanna is in the second semester of the sophmore year - better go find some new housemates to move in!

And one final twist. Shanna proposed to Chris and he accepted! I guess that means someone has a few “plans” for the future… The main reason it was her proposing and not him is simple. She had the want, he didn’t. Don’t expect wedding bells too soon though, she still has 2 years to do after Chris graduates!
