Mmkay so I was hanging with the Howards family and as soon as I loaded in I couldn't see who she was talking to from the other angle but Annie (space buns) discovered she likes affection because her big sister and one of the twins was singling her out. Which is just precious. It was foggy but suitable as it was Halloween and I threw together a little for them, this family is very very old and there is so much they have never seen. Also I cheated for them to live in this house as they have moved a lot but never been able to afford this much stuff, Leslie and Reggie even got married in the backyard of their second home, if you saw them when I first played with them I bet it would be surprising I even still remember that ha.

I started up a spooky party for them and they chose their costumes (still glitched you will have to change their costumes manually for it to accept they are wearing them if you want to do the tasks.) Anyways I turned on music and mostly watched them, while Reggie was outside carving a pumpkin and the others were dancing Jessica kept routing to her mother to hang out. I wanted to do things differently as they were originally just a legacy of bad decisions and I still remember when the two sets of twins died one after the other at their grand-nephew's wedding so now I'll age the eldest set up closer to Jessica so they can go to college. She is still the first born and is going way ahead of them though almost like she can tell she'll be leaving her big family. Still I let her lock her bedroom door she loves to be around both her parents all the same.

I feel like Reggie really enjoyed going all out on his costume since Leslie was just a space smuggler I think.

I don't normally have a grand meal for Halloween but I let them have a fish dinner anyways and as Leslie wasn't much for dancing, why not add something to the brownies she already made.

A little thing some people may not know about when you have other options on the table and call to meal the sims may automatically pick something else. Leslie doesn't mind she just wants to see all her kids well fed...and with a full house, she cooks a lot. I don't normally stop them from eating whatever leftover they want so they are good at clearing the fridge.

Now as I said I had to change costumes, it was getting late and they said some things hadn't been met which of course they had but whatever.

I don't know why the teens hanging out in costume amuses me so much but it does, I chose close because that was how I remembered them I had a lot of glitches with them in the past, bad computers and what not so I had to regularly move them to new saves to keep them. I would start by taking them to other houses to meet family and close fit them. The younger group has always adored Jessica and they will follow her around if they have nothing else which she naturally doesn't mind when she's not in her room.

The next morning Reggie developed the family-orientated trait(one I thought he had already) while, no surprise, talking to Jessica my baby is a golden child even though her bad decision was starting a family with an immortal glitched roommate the first night they met. Heh, anyhow I had her ask him to push her on the swings, doesn't matter how big she gets she'll always be his little girl. Even though they never got to see this stuff and many pictures are long lost she is still that little baby they had living outside while they remodeled that old broken down cottage.
I think I'm a little sad, maybe they'll get to recreat the two kids they had when the three eldest moved out even though I'd like them to have a pet too, decisions decisions, give me fifteen slots team!
