Humorous Anecdotes
I often used to post in a similar thread, but before somebody blasts me for necro-posting, I'll start anew. Did something funny happen in your game today. Tell everybody about it. I'm running an ...

I had a wedding party on Sunday. The two oldest Sims (including the pregnant one) headed home early, mostly because the baby-sitter was doing a lousy job. They got the kids fixed up and went to bed a bit early. The others stayed around for the reception party/dancing/skinny-dipping etc. They got home very late and only got half a night's sleep. On Monday evening, everything is going kaput. The children are out late at a ballet recital, along with the teens (the only ones who were in any shape to attend), who aren't exhausted (at least not like the grown-ups-they stayed later than the kids but not as late as the others). I squeezed some activity out of the older Sims before coming home. One, however was too far gone and came home for a double nap before supper. The others came home red-lining Energy, to eat, shower etc. and go to bed. The two Full adults are in decent shape and are now home and fed but I have three very unhappy toddlers that need attention. I have three Sim in decent shape to care for them.
Nope, I don't have any. The oldest female chose this time to go into labour. Her husband took her to the hospital. There goes two of them. The next oldest, who had the double nap, was about to give a dirty toddler a bath and put her to bed, but it's now her birthday. She's going to be unavailable for childcare for a bit. I have nobody who isn't red-lining to look after the kids. :s
Update:
I had to wait for the birthday girl to finish her transformation. But she only had two toddlers to deal with. The third was carried to the hospital, by the father-to-be (I wondered if he would leave him at the hospital door providing another addendum to the previous post). The new mom will look after him when they all get home.
Second Update:
The two toddlers were put to bed. The others came home from the hospital with the new baby and a red-lining energy, dirty toddler. Dad went straight to bed (he has work in the morning). Mom put the baby on the floor (both cribs are occupied) then put the screaming toddler in the swing. Toddler's don't seem to like the swing, especially when they are tired. He screamed so loud he woke the entire house. I had to cancel everybody's "React To Noisy Baby", send them back to bed to relax (they won't sleep with the baby crying) and read a skill book (the bit of sleep they've had so far allowed this). I then had Mom, take one barely rested toddler out of the crib, take the screaming toddler out of the swing and put him into the crib. This took forever because by now Mom was also red-lining energy and complaining how tired she was and how noisy the baby was. Meanwhile, the rest of the house was skill-reading (I still couldn't send them back to sleep quite yet.) Mom left the baby on the floor and headed to her bedroom. By the time she got there, I could send her to bed, as I did the rest of the house.
That means sanity has returned, right? WRONG!!! The game chose this moment to freeze up. I left it that way, while I wrote this update. It's still frozen. I'll have to go through this entire mess again after restarting the computer (tomorrow) or should I just start a new game.
