I had been meesing around with the refresh and window size, because I couldn't get to my desk top without closing my game after the last update. and because of that I was having problems with my game, see above pics with troublesome squares. So I had to go back to a previously saved game, fortunately I had one otherwise I would have had to start all over again.
So I redid the play/party room.

I know it needs extending, that's on my to do list.
I also put in the stairs

A previous simmer was asking about the size of our homes.
When the money starts coming in you need to spend it, the sims start wanting things. Barbara wanted a musical instrument other than her guitar. But she can't play the piano yet, I may do what a nother simmer said and move things around, I didn't know we could actually do this, but I already did when I put in a pool.

Barbara now gets about $2000 a day from her books but her bills are now $4000.
As you can see she now has a dolls house, she has the childish trait.

She also has the beginnings of a child's room, no pics yet. Her last painting yesterday was another masterpiece worth just over $4000, I nearly sold it but I'm still not sure how the household funds work.
For the house to be worth does this include what's in her bank, or what her possessions are worth??
MissTrips love your layout of your home. With the mike do people come by and give you tips???
Another question does the programming ever get quicker, Barbara is now level 10 at programming, but she takes forever to it. Her paintings she slaps up very quickly, but programming she has to do over two or three sim days. Other than painting her favourite want is hacking lol.
