@mcrudd No the game started me with nothing. Bex had no skills and started her career right at the beginning. Was it supposed to start me with skills and at level 6?? I really am working extra hard for this LOL. Guidry is the ghost that guides you through the haunted house - he spawns every night to help you out, and Temperance is his spurned ex-lover who wreaks havoc on everything. There's definitely some good lore and backstory with the two of them. I'd definitely recommend playing a haunted house at some point, it's pretty fun :)
One thing I did for Jerry to help him with his milestones was to have a nanny come while Elsie was at work, and then the nanny helped Jerry reach milestones, but it's much more satisfying to speed through work while the babies are daycare, but that's an option if you want them to reach any milestones. Looks like Alexis is doing a great job at excelling in her career while still caring for the twins - it will be fun to watch them grow up since you have aging on :) That diet ice cream is the best haha
