Thanks @BreeMiles :)
@Karababy52 It's interesting how some Sims eat spoiled food and others not. Some gravitate to floating in the pool etc etc.
The food being left in the inventory appears to be a glitch and I seem to recall there being a post about it over on the EA Help site.
Later on, I added a table next to the grill and it was used once/maybe twice for setting food down.
Once I adjusted the weather to stop rain (it was Summer season and 14 days), my Sims stopped being foul mouthed for the most part.
I don't think you are required to have a pool or stereo, but I like having plenty of things for lot bound Sims to do. The stereo could be placed outside on the patio and if you'd rather not have a pool, you could have a hot tub <- my 2nd play-through has one. I opted not to place a washer/dryer so Sims wouldn't have to worry about laundry or catching things on fire. I might place them in the 3rd go-round for variety sake, lol. We'll see.
Hopefully, you enjoyed this and will give it another go at some point.
Happy to hear you gave them a second chance and made things easier for the four Sims. So ... any sparks between any of them?
