Rags to Riches with Seasons

I started the Rags to Riches challenge for the first time on any version of the Sims last week... Darn founder worked his butt off, managed to become overweight eating very sporadically and hiking around to fish all the time, finally completed his little home and his first aspiration (that 20th fish was a birch to catch!), married the librarian, and immediately had mod-free/cheat-free twins. Everyone is hungry, tired, and crying in my little starter house. Founder will keep trucking and take care of the kids as needed, but mom just keeps sneaking out to eat cake offered by founder's cowplant, then goes and cries in bed while the twin toddlers get hangry. :/ (Both twins just aged up to children and both randomly rolled the Perfectionist trait, so hopefully they can help me get the house in order!)
