Ahh, thanks for explaining the pen pal thing to me, @meubanks. I knew it was possible to have penpals but I rarely use the computer to socialize so I missed the option. I thought that I should hang some postcards in the living room (where Margo is painting at the moment) but placing them next to the stove is a very good idea as well! I'll have Margo start on finding a penpal as soon as she's awake again.
Concerning inspired auras, do any of you maybe know of an object that gives off a hidden inspired aura? My sims always get inspired when they sit at the chess table and while I usually appreciate my sims getting inspired this is literally the only place on the lot I don't want that effect. I have a bird feeder and a wind chime there but removing either of them does nothing. I also removed the bonsai tree with no effect. Do plants sims can grow give off inspired auras? I'm super confused as to where this might come from...
Do you have any of the lot traits that influence the mood to be inspired? I have one called Natural Light on mine and they're basically always inspired when they step foot outside... which works for me because that's where they paint.
And I think you're right about having a "gorgeous house goal" being a massive motivator. I might take the time to build something for them to work towards.
Oh and I've said it before, but my favorite easy way to make money is breeding frogs. If you keep breeding the $125 frogs with each person in the house as often as you can, you can make lots of money.
