HAH! I didn't notice that's what that looks like. That's not a microwave in his arms, it's a music speaker mounted on the wall to pipe music into the kitchen. Household 2 doesn't even own a microwave. Maybe I should do something about that.
I think his interactions with the ferret are a cover for his kleptomania.
I kinda like that I am missing for most of the screenshots of our house, only coming out when company drops by and I'm forced to be sociable. Fits with the loner bit, I presume, but also real-world me.
Sheesh. Even in the Sims she's training them up to be ready for the Scampering.

The cat has a timed autofeeder and a self-cleaning litterbox, so you can climb down off that cross, ya baby
This is cool @GasBandit - thanks for doing all this work!
You can't call me that! I'm a Sim!

Wednesday, 4th of Fall, Year 1, Household 4
When first we join Household 4 on this day, Dei is doing some morning laps in the pool
Snuffles, Jwhouk, and Gasbandit are surfing around on the few computers...
DarkAudit's watching a rom-com, and Celt Z is apparently off visiting the neighbors.
Snuffles notices that something is wrong with his dog.
Oh dear. VERY wrong. Daisy is dizzy and nauseous.
So, Snuffleupagus gathers her up and hauls her off to the Brindleton Pawspital.
Apparently there's something going around... On his way in, he spots Li Jun leaving with Luca (though I didn't manage a screenshot), and inside, Bubble181 and Patrthom have brought in Polly and Pudding, respectively. Maybe it was the recent cold snap.
Dr. Yamamoto fixes Daisy right up, thankfully. Then they return home.
Meanwhile, Celt Z has also returned from her morning constitutional, and I guess she's to blame for Gas also getting on board with the apron fashion fad. No surprise, that dingus will do whatever a redhead tells him.
Jwhouk goes for a dip in the pool, and Tinwhistler tries out the waterslide.
Gas no likey poop patrol. He goes to play the big arcade game in the basement.
Celt Z knows how to get through the day.
"Oh thank god, you made coffee!"
Oh hey, look, it's Klew, Cog, Adam, and Patrthom. And they bring the fruitcake. Tinwhistler greets them...
... while Gas hastily, nay, DESPERATELY, scrambles to provide alternate sustenance. With only a few slight oopsies in the preparation phase.
"Yes, friends, please! Enjoy my Macaroni a-la Bandit! Uh, if you notice an overwhelming note of pepper, rest assured that is COMPLETELY on purpose. It's a delicacy, down my way."
Daisy is not a fan of the dishwasher. Adam flirts with Celt Z.
Everybody socializes over the meal, and Jwhouk and Snuffles head down to the basement to play some vidya and enthuse about dogs.
Upstairs, there's also vidya.
And Dei tries out the karaoke machine. Tinwhistler digs it.
Dei, however, is mortified about her performance, and slinks away to go cry in a closet about it.
The welcome wagon heads home, and the denizens of Household 4 decide to wrap up the day with some water-based amusements. Celt Z in particular is a fan of the waterslide. It fills her with confidence.
Dei recovers enough to join in, as do others.
Later, Celt Z jokingly asks DarkAudit a risque question, and he's so flustered he can't even look at her. Aaawk-waaard.
Daisy helps Jwhouk clean up the water spills around the pool. I hope that's not chlorinated.
More vidya for Gas and Tin, and Snuffles gets to grips with the fancy holo-VR gaming system.
Nothing like sisterly reassurance when your dirty joke goes terribly awry.
Dei then goes for a soak in the hot tub and immediately falls asleep.
DarkAudit can't deal, however, and decides this is a good time to call it a night.
MOAR. VIDYA.
One by one the others start heading off to bed, leaving Gas and Celt Z the last awake, watching a movie. Gas is starting to get ideas.
Celt Z decides she wants a go at the karaoke machine! Gas of course eagerly follows along... and just can't hold a pokerface. Mortifying. Any amorous thoughts he'd had are driven STRAIGHT out of his head.
Dei has woken up in the hot tub, and decides she's just fine staying there.
Gas is starting to get tired now, but rather than go to bed, he grabs some coffee and heads out to soak his feet and chat with Dei.
Keltsy, on the other hand, is fired up with enthusiasm after her karaoke session, and goes online to socialize. This continues until Daisy wakes up, whining about the call of nature.
She then lets the dog out to poop, and decides to put her energy to use with some late night cleaning.
Dei finally gets out of the hot tub, and samples the loaf. It does not agree with her.
Dei neglects to warn the others, though, and after she leaves the table, Snuffles (who has woken up super early) and Celt Z also each try a slice. Snuffles loves it! Keltsy shares her sister's tastes, it seems.
Gas is hepped up on coffee and doesn't know what to do with himself. 2:30 am sit-ups in the bathroom? YES!
And then cooking shows with Snuffles! The sisters, however, have since decided to go to bed.
Snuffles gets some late night waterslide action going, and Gas decides in favor of MORE VIDYA
DarkAudit awakens, and the three of them sit down to coffee and cursed loaf. Uh oh. Gas is starting to feel odd.
"OH GOD I'M SO TIRED." Hrm, maybe time for bed then, Gas?
HA HA NO! More coffee! MORNING TIN IT IS MORNING ISN'T IT A GREAT AND LOVELY MORNING
Tinwhistler is smart enough to steer clear of the fruitcake. More people are starting to wake up. I don't know when Gas is gonna crash, but unfortunately we won't be seeing it this update, as time has run out, and it's on to the next house.
I'd just like to add, on a closing note, that the only active role I took today was in having Snuffleupagus take the dog to the vet and Gas cooking for the party. Everything else was entirely AI-driven, including my own inexplicable coffee-fueled all-nighter.

Well, if you'd like to HEAR your actual performance... here it is...I fear my avatar's habits are a little TOO accurate. Damn spooky A.I.
Although my karaoke is usually decent, so get it together, Celt Z!
Hrm, must be the swim/hot weather outfits that don't appear in the CAS demo. I'll adjust it for you, next time it's household 4's day.
It wasn't the actual "mortified" moodlet, I was just waxing poetic. Prosaic? Fancy talking.
Pfft, more like 10%.
To be fair, we don't know WHY you showed up. Vero might very well have kicked you out of the house with orders.
I think Polly is @Gruebeard's cat. Looks like you were the responsible sibling & said that if he wouldn't take his sick cat to the vet you would.
Djeeze, I thought you liked cats. I take him to the vet 'cause he's sick and right away you want to get him fixed? How would you like it?!
Patryrtom took @Squidleybits cat to the vet! Must have eaten a Tessersct.

Is that a malapropism of Patrthom and Martyr?
