Meadow has a plan to repair her relationships with Austen's family by intentionally breaking Austen's heart and then fixing the damage over time through chess games and conversation. Her plan works and the family begins to accept her, though Baldo's unintentional romantic actions continue complicating things. By the end, Meadow has gained the family's trust and acceptance through her sacrifices and relationship building efforts.

1. Xtreme Xavier Apocalypse
Chapter 6
That's the Tragedy of It.

2. Audrey: OK, everyone try to keep themselves occupied.
Brianna: Skilling.
Meadow: Skilling.
Grayson: All skilled up, and just going for a want to max my
cooking enthusiasm.
Audrey: That'll do.

3. Audrey: So, you're the little slut who's going to break my son's
heart.
Meadow: I'm the one who's going to lift Gaming and then bear
your grandchildren.
Audrey: Yeah, AFTER I'm dead. Because you just couldn't wait to
take that job, could you?
Meadow: Nope. The sooner, the better.

4. Meadow: It really is better this way, Mother Audrey. We'll be able
to use the phones and computers any time at all, which means
more chances to get the right careers, for future generations.
And there will be space enough in the house for two sets of
twins. At least your son still has a shot at his lifetime want, if
Brianna gets lucky with an Education opening. I have no chance
of getting my lifetime want.
Audrey: Good. Breaking my brother's heart and my son's.

5. Meadow: At least I'm not in love with your husband, even though I
have better chemistry with him than anyone else. Triple bolts!
Audrey: Touch him, and I'll break every bone in your body. I have
full body points, and you're a wimp.
Meadow: Noted.

6. Meadow: You know, Mother Audrey, I could really use some
support here. These early level chance cards are brutal in the
Gamer career. So many chances to be fired, and then it might
be another generation before the phone lines are freed up.
Audrey: Keep your hands to yourself until I die, and I'll support
you. I don't want to see any hanky panky.
Meadow: I promise you won't see any hanky panky.

7. Meadow: Weren't you supposed to be grooming me, to boost my
hygiene?
Baldo: I couldn't resist an autonomous slow dance.
Meadow: Well, I promised your mother I wouldn't let her see this
sort of thing. Good thing she's at work.
Austen: Noooo! I can't believe you cheated on me with your own
husband!

8. Austen: Aaaah! I'll slap your face clean off your head.
Meadows: No worries. This is all going according to plan.
Baldo: You have a plan? Are you sure about this? You only have
five logic skill points.

9. Austen: Waaaaah! I saw my love in the arms of another!

10. Baldo: Here, you have a few flecks of blood on your robe. Let me
get that off for you.
Meadow: Thanks, Baldo. See, if you had stuck to grooming in the
first place, I wouldn't have been slapped.
Baldo: But you just said it went according to plan.
Meadow: Yeah, but the timing could have been better.

11. Meadow: So, you've fallen out of love with me now, right? No
more slapping?
Austen: That's the tragedy of it. I still love you.
Meadow: Oh, brother. Your whole family hates me, and I have to
go through this again. It's going to take forever to mend these
relationships, you know. Your niece, in particular, is almost a
sworn enemy.

12. Audrey: If I'm not going to live to see my grandchildren, then I just
hope Baldo lifts Military really fast, because I can't get out of this
house soon enough.
Austen: I feel sorry for Brianna. She took my side, and now she
hates Meadow and Baldo! And she has to stay here and live
with them, until she makes her own lift.
Grayson: (thinks) I'm just gonna keep my head down and mouth shut.

13. You just stay occupied, please, Brianna. I don't want to have to
keep cancelling “shove” interactions from you.
Brianna: My uncle saw her first.
Even so, it was arranged, for the good of the apocalypse. You
should...
Brianna: I can't believe I invited that little home-wrecker into our
house, and told her to marry my brother!

14. Baldo: Gotta max the skills I need for work.
Brianna: I've maxed everything, and I'm ready for any career I can
find on the computer, Tuesday afternoon. I hope you lift Military
fast, so I can get the heck out of here. In the meantime, I'm
studying Anger Management, because you're not my favorite
person right now. I know it was arranged, but what happened to
discretion, huh? Discretion?! You broke Uncle Austen's heart,
Baldo, and I have a hard time forgiving you for that.

15. Baldo: Uncle Austen, we need to repair our relationship.
Austen: Just go to work so you can lift Military and we elders can
get out of here before we die. Writer set up a house for us to
move into. Cyd Roseland is holding it for us, so that the
familyfunds won't be messed up, and we can pay our protection
properly.
Baldo: Yeah, another week. $1800 this time.

16. Audrey: I'm so glad I never loved anyone but you.
Grayson: And you're the only one for me, Audrey.
Audrey: Even though Meadow and you have triple bolts?
Grayson: That's just chemistry. You and I have history.
Awwww! You two are so cute and sweet! I hope you can move
out before you die.

17. Baldo: I'm halfway through! One promotion every day, and it's not
even time for Brianna to find her own career on the computer,
yet. I hope she climbs her career as fast as I'm doing mine.

18. Baldo: Mom, Uncle, I know you guys want to move out as soon as
possible, but I'd appreciate it if you stuck around long enough for
all of us to make our lifts. We could really use the friend count.
Audrey: I'll think about it.
Austen: It's just so painful, Baldo. I'm still in love with Meadow.

19. Baldo: Have you forgiven me, yet, Brianna?
Brianna: I guess so. You are my brother, after all.
Baldo: Have you forgiven Meadow, yet?
Brianna: Heck no.

20. Grayson: I'm permanently platinum! At last!
Austen: I'm just hoping to bring a co-worker home, so the kids can
figure out who to marry in next generation, if Brianna doesn't get
lucky with Education, herself. I still haven't brought anyone
home, yet, but someday. Someday, I'm sure, I'll bring home a
co-worker. Surely. Eventually.
I'm getting impatient for it, too, Austen.

21. Looks like Grandma Xtreme found a new target.
Meadow: It's not my fault! I had it planned that we would make
Austen fall out of love with me in private! Blame Baldo. He was
the one with the autonomous dance kiss.
I clicked on him to groom you. I clicked five times! He was one
very determined kisser. But you can still repair the relationships.
Go play some more chess with them. It works wonders.

22. Meadow: Look, Brianna, your uncle has forgiven me. Why can't
you? He's the one who was hurt, not you.
Brianna: I don't care. I hate you.
Meadow: Look, why don't we behave like civilized people, and
settle this over a game of chess.
Brianna: I am going to capture all your pieces and grind your king
into dust.

23. Meadow: Wow. You're really good at this.
Brianna: I have maxed all my skills. I can beat you in any
competition you care to name.
Meadow: I don't want to compete with you, Brianna. I just want us
to be friends.
Brianna: Sorry. I still hate you. It's going to take a lot more than
one game to make me forgive you.

24. Meadow: Just how many games do you think it will take?
Brianna: Probably until you max your skill. But, hey, I don't hate
you anymore. Take that for the win it is.
Meadow: Thanks, Brianna. Hey, good luck this afternoon. I hope
you find a really good job.
Brianna: Thanks, Meadow. If not Education, I hope to lift Law.
That way, your kids can lift Slacker. I just want to help.

25. Brianna: Hello, Alabama. I haven't seen you around before.
I think when you moved two cats in, the game created a
replacement or two. I've never seen this one before, either.
Brianna: Well, this kitty knows several tricks already, which makes
it much easier to adopt.

26. Brianna: Welcome to the family, Alabama! You get to try to lift
Security Pet restrictions.

27. Brianna: Let's see... Adventurer Level 6. Oooh, I'll snag that
career reward for when I move out. Dance level 6. Another
career reward! Politics – not gonna happen until Law is lifted,
but I might as well get the career reward for my inventory. Law
Enforcement. Again, not gonna happen, but snag it. And
Criminal. I'll get the career reward, but that's not a lift I'm going
for.

28. Brianna: Well, Alabama, it looks like we both get to start at the
bottom of the career ladder. I'm going to try to lift Law. No
college for Baldo's kids, and no lifetime want for him. But at
least next generation will be free to go for any lift they want.
Politics, Law Enforcement, and Slacker will be available to
actually lift, not just suppress. It's good.

29. Brianna: Let's get you all trained up, girl. Speak, Stay, and Play
Dead.

30. Brianna: Yeah, I'm just starting my job, and my twin brother is at
level 6, already. Can you believe it? Anyway, if his wife lifts
Gaming, we'll be able to chat every day, instead of just
remembering to call on Tuesday afternoon. Wish us all luck,
OK? … A guaranteed promotion because you're my boss's
cousin? Sweet! Thank you so much!

31. Brianna: Still only at level 2, but I brought someone home with me.
If I fail at Law, perhaps that other person could be married in.
Meadow: I'm doing pretty well. I'm at level 5, and over the danger
hump of those beginning chance cards.

32. Brianna: You can't come inside, Brandon, until we are really
friends. You should have become my friend while we were
playing snowball fight, so many years ago.
So, Brandon Lillard is in Law? Good to know.
Brianna: Yeah. You're never really safe until the lift is actually
complete. Stuff happens, and it never hurts to have a backup
plan.

33. Baldo: It's Friday afternoon, and I just made Astronaut! My next
shift is on Tuesday, the first time I've had so much time off. I
hope I can make the lift on Tuesday or Wednesday. With my
wife climbing her career almost as quickly, we should be able to
start our family in about one week. I hope.

34. Well, isn't this nice? The family is all fully trained up for their
careers, and are basically just doing random Freetime skills, to
keep occupied. Even the cat is learning her very last skill. The
promotions are coming, and everything is looking rosy. Even the
relationships have been repaired.
Gee, I sure hope I didn't just jinx it.

35. Ryan! I haven't seen you for ages.
Ryan: I've been having too much fun at the bowling alley. But I
wanted to come and make sure you kept my bed. Xtreme told
me you got rid of her original bed, and she's ticked off about
that.
Don't worry, Ryan. Even when Security Pet restrictions are lifted,
we won't get rid of that bed until Paranormal is lifted, as well,
and you are sent to a nice, safe, graveyard.

36. Alabama, you are such a good kitty. You have just one more
promotion to go.

37. Oh, not again.
Baldo: I know my Writer keeps telling me to stay otherwise
occupied, but I just have to hug and kiss you right now.
He keeps getting the jump on me with those autonomous romantic
actions.
Austen: Noooo! I'm still in love with her!

38. Austen, she's no good for you. Will you please fall out of love with
her, already?
Austen: The heart wants what the heart wants, and my heart
wants Meadow. Along with all my other heart-wants.
Good grief. And Baldo, will you please wipe that stupid grin off
your face. You caused more trouble than I care to deal with.
MEADOW was behaving herself just fine. This is on YOU.

39. Brianna: My brother is so stupid.
He wasn't chosen as heir because of his smarts, that's for sure.
He was chosen because it was the most practical solution to the
problem of not being able to invite over his own chosen spouse.
Once his makes his lift, this will never be a problem again. But
this generation... Sheesh!

40. Austen: Aack! He's doing it again! Brianna, tell me why he's
doing it again?
Brianna: Maybe ask, why is she cheating on you with that idiot?
Austen: I don't love her, anymore!

41. Baldo: That's right. Slap her again. Things are working out
according to Meadow's plan.
Meadow: Please stop smiling while you're watching this, Baldo.
It's creeping me out.
Baldo: Right-o, darling. I'll just go upstairs for a while.

42. Meadow: :takes a deep breath: I won't say your mother is a llama,
Austen, even though she scared me. But you, sir, are a llama!
A hairy, smelly, spitty llama!

43. Austen: How dare you! How very dare you!

44. Meadow: I don't love you, anymore, Austen.

45. Grayson: Well, that was a fun show to watch. Too bad I didn't
have a treat to munch on, like popcorn, or an ice cream parfait.
Austen: I'm going to cry on my niece's shoulder. She's always
taken my part.
Meadow: I love my new family.

46. Audrey: Grayson told me I missed a fantastic show.
Meadow: Yep. I have the situation all sorted out.
Brianna: I get it! You broke the love relationship, so that now
when you repair the relationships with the family, they'll stay
repaired. No more love means no more jealousy, and no more
fights!
Meadow: That's right!

47. Repairing a family, one chess match at a time.

48. Grayson: You know, if someone lifted Paranormal, we could all
sleep at night, instead of hanging around up here, waiting for the
ghosts to go back to their tombstones.

49. Brianna: We couldn't go to college for Paranormal. Without that
Education lift, it's going to be another two generations, at least!
Audrey: Well, at least we have those two mood boosters, so we
are all right hanging around up here all night, and taking quick
naps during the day. Come to think of it, I probably should have
warned Meadow not to use the downstairs bathroom at night.
Oh, well. She survived. You know, that girl is actually starting to
grow on me.

50. Audrey: Any girl who willingly lets herself get slapped in the face,
multiple times, just to heal the family is OK in my book. Call me,
“Mom,” Meadow, dear.

51. Brianna: Me, too, Meadow. But don't call me “Mom.”
Meadow: How about “Sis?”
Brianna: Cool! I never had a sister.
Grayson: I'll hug her when she lifts Gamer.
Meadow: And that won't be long, now, Grayson. Care for some
chess?

52. Audrey: That woman played us all like a Stradsimvarius. I like her!
Austen: I do, too, now that I realize what she was about. I had to
give up my love for her, and she sacrificed her face to make that
happen. I knew I loved her for a good reason.
Audrey: You loved her because she has breasts. Stop thinking
about romancing her again, you horn dog.

53. Baldo: Alabama, you are an awesome kitty! You know, the
Criminal element is getting out of hand. $1950 in protection
payments, this week! And it will just get worse. Since we don't
eat, anymore, and we still have the emergency rations in the
basement, why don't you stay on with us, after you lift Security
Pet? You can be our guard kitty, and protect us from the evil
criminals! And you can play with our own kids when we have
them, too. Deal? Let's shake on it!

54. Baldo: I've maxed everything but Creativity. I should write a novel.
Meadow: Wait until you can wear a Thinking Cap, darling, or your
novel will not sell well, and you'll take a huge aspiration hit.
Audrey: I'd listen to your wife, dear. She's smart. Unless you roll
the want for it, you should just ignore Creativity skill. You don't
need it, and we already have a full library.

55. Audrey: You just focus on making your lift tomorrow, or the next
day, because your father, uncle, and I are running out of time.
We will move out, as soon as you make it possible.
Baldo: But, we need you for the friendship count.
Meadow: We can make our own friends, darling. Let them have
their lives in a nice, cushy, non-apocalypse house. And then
they can come and visit the grandkids, forever!

56. Baldo: Hello. I need to boost my generation's friend count. Care
to chat it up with me outside, just long enough to become
friends, and then we can take it inside for a nice day of chess?
Abhijeet: Sounds great!

57. Meadow: Sorry, dear. I beat you to the table.
Baldo: That's OK. Kicky bag works, too.

58. Meadow: Oh, and I've taken the liberty of rearranging the furniture.
I moved the exercise equipment to the roof, until anyone needs
it. We can always bring it downstairs, next to the mood-
boosters. I put the beds upstairs, so we can be less likely to be
haunted when we take our naps.

59. Meadow: Downstairs, I put the kitchenette on the floors that have
already had carpet laid on them. We still have a few bare floors
to cover, but we'll be done, soon. Did you notice we have all the
inside walls painted, and are now able to paint the outside?
Lovely! And since no one remembered before, I added a photo
booth, unlocked by Xtreme's Science, so we have a private
place for woohoo, as well as a way to memorialize everyone in
the house.

60. Audrey: I wish I had thought of this ages ago. In fact, I wish Mom
had thought of this, before she aged up! Ah, well. Hey,
Grayson, let's try out this booth's other feature!
Grayson: Ah, yes! The advantage to being old in an apocalypse is
that contraception isn't necessary. We can woohoo as much as
we wish!
Audrey: I wonder if my parents took advantage of that. Naaah.

61. Brianna: Take note – Kelly Kim is another person in the Law
career. If I should fail, we have two potential spouses for the
next generation! Spouse for whom we know the careers, and
want the lift! YES! Even if I fail, I will have made a valuable
contribution.

62. Baldo: I lifted Military! Sims can move out and can walk to work
and we can invite over anyone we want, without having to be in
love with them, or being sure that they are in love with us. YES!
Oh, I'm so proud of you, Baldo! That's a fantastic lift. And we
won't have to have a repeat of this generation's drama.
Baldo: Technically, we didn't need it this time, either, because
Meadow walked by early. But we didn't know that, did we?

63. Brianna: It's Tuesday afternoon, and since I'm only level 5 in my
career, if I can get a job in Education, at level 6, it's still a win!

64. Brianna: Nope. I'm still in Law. But I did get an instant promotion
to level 6, and put out the career reward. Next generation will
learn Charisma skill super fast!
Baldo: If only we had Grandma's Science reward, we could build
Logic super fast, too.
Brianna: Yeah, and risk giving everyone a virus? No thank you.
Besides, chess is social.

65. Austen: Oh, man! Why didn't I quit my job? We were going to
move out as soon as I got home!
Audrey: Austen! Noooo! We're twins! We were supposed to be
together forever! If only you'd quit your job, we could have all
moved out this afternoon, the moment my son lifted Military.
Grayson: Audrey, babe, stop crying and pick up the paper. We
are moving out NOW.

66. Brianna: Oh, Uncle Austen, I swear, your fate shall not be mine.
Even if I don't make my lift, I will move out before my time is up.

67. Grayson: Let's get out of here before the Grim Reaper remembers
you're the same age as your brother.
Audrey: I actually have a day or two left on my meter. But it's so
imprecise. And I thought my brother had the same amount. It's
not fair!
Grayson: We'll raise him, as soon as Paranormal is lifted. We'll
raise them all!

68. Brianna: Why didn't we think of this ages ago, bro? Two love
seats means two people can nap, at once.
Baldo: And with three ghosts on the lot, napping near the mood
boosters is more important than ever.
Brianna: I'm so sorry I couldn't lift Education.
Baldo: Law is still good. Next generation, it will be Education,
Slacker, and whatever the spouse gets.

69. Meadow: Why aren't we riding in a helicopter? Aren't you
supposed to have a helicopter, darling? If we're coing to ride-
share, we should take the best ride.
Baldo: The whole point of ride-sharing is to cut fuel costs. This is
more fuel efficient, and we'll all make it to work on time, so why
not?
Meadow: I suppose prestige isn't everything.

70. Meadow: I'm at level 9 Gamer, still in the platinum, and with
another shift tonight, if only I could get there. Oh, wait! I can!
I'm walking to work. See you later!

71. Baldo: Really, Grampa? We moved them all the way up there and
we still have to nap in the living room.
Ryan: I like this bedroom. The blue goes nicely with the black and
white of the beds.
Baldo: Everything goes nicely with black and white beds. Oh, I
love you, Gramps, but I can't wait for Paranormal to be lifted.

72. WOOOOOOT!!!!! I am dancing around my room!
Meadow: Yeah, I lifted Gamer restrictions. The phone lines are
open every day, all day! Also, we can play any games we want.
I'm gonna put my reward on the first floor, so we don't wake
people up while they're napping.

73. Brianna: And I am going to check the listings. I'm at level 7 Law,
but if I find the listing for Education, it's only one step down. I
don't mind one step down. It's like getting a demotion from a
bad chance card, but into the career I really want.
Baldo: Oh, please, oh please, oh, please. And when you're done,
put the computer away, so we don't wake up my sweet,
wonderful wife, who needs her rest.

74. Brianna: I got the job, Baldo! I am now a Guest Lecturer, level 6 in
Education, with two more shifts this week. I should certainly be
able to lift the Education career before your children are teens,
even if I do have a few hiccups along the way.
Baldo: Children! We can get started on a family, now! I want to
have two sets of twins, you know. Maybe even three! Of
course, you'd have to move out for the third set. Do you mind?

75. Brianna: Are you kidding? Look, I'll stay to help out with the first
four, but after that, I'm outta here. I want to move out BEFORE I
become an elder, so that I can be a youthful visitor, forever, and
not die on the sidewalk.
Baldo: And you'll make sure my kids can all go to college, I'll get
my Lifetime Want, and we'll have Paranormal lifted! And Artist,
so everyone can study Creativity, and not just be limited to
writing novels.

76. Brianna: And I'm taking the cat with me. You'll need the space,
even if you do stop at four kids, and I'm the one who adopted
Alabama, loved her, trained her, and I'm keeping her! If you
really want another pet for your kids to play with, get a new one.
Alabama is coming with me!
Baldo: Oh, very well. You can have the cat. I love her, too, but I
know you'll give her an excellent home.

77. Time to get started on the next generation.

78. What a beautiful bright plumbob. Good luck, kitty! This might just
be the day you lift Security Pet.

79. Brianna: I'm at level 7, now. We have enough friends for me to lift
the career, even without our parents' help, largely because they
introduced us to their friends, so we could befriend them,
ourselves, and we should do the same for your kids. I've
decided I will stay and pass on my friend base. Specifically, I
will introduce Brandon Lillard and Kelly Kim to your kids, and
they can all decide who has the best chemistry with one of them,
when they go to college. There's your heirship sorted.

80. Meadow: Alamaba! You lifted Security Pet! We can now replace
our beds with high quality beds, but we won't do it, because that
will tick off the ghosts. But we CAN do it, and for that, I thank
you. Baldo and I will miss you when you leave us with Brianna.
You will always be welcome to come and visit. Also, I'm
pregnant and am going to quit my job. Baldo, you should quit
yours, too. I want both of us at home at all times to care for the
babies.

81. Baldo: I'm calling to quit Alabama's job, too. No job means no bad
chance cards. Besides, she has definitely earned a break.

82. Quiet time at the Xavier house. Shhhh!

83. Oh, gee whiz. Two thirds of the ghosts are in the bedroom tonight.
Paranormal cannot be lifted fast enough.

84. Baldo: So, I want three children graduated from college, and my
wife wants to marry off six children. If they all go to college,
they'll have plenty of time to build up their own friendship
network, including finding spouses for the spares to marry once
they make their lifts and move out. I'm thinking, as soon as the
heir moves home from college, Meadow and I will move out of
the house. Should we move in with you, or find our own place?
Brianna: Move in with me. I like having my twin nearby.

85. Baldo: Gee, pregnancy's really hard on you, isn't it?
Meadow: I'm starving and exhausted. Even napping next to the
mood boosters isn't enough. And since Alabama will only eat
pet food, we can't cook a fresh meal for me, and I'm stuck with
stinky left-overs and food poisoning.
Baldo: Maybe four children will be enough?
Meadow: Maybe so.

86. Baldo: So, I guess you don't really want to go to the new
community lot Writer built for us next door? With Military
unlocked, sims can visit it, in groups and with 10 body skill.
Meadow: I am not leaving this room except to vomit.
Baldo: OK. Maybe I'll take Brianna after she comes home from
work.

87. Yes, I built a community lot. So far, it's the only community lot in
town, and it follows all the current restrictions. It will be
interesting to see how it grows and changes, with each new
unlock. Currently, it's not allowed to be fully enclosed, and food
is not available, so no one will stay there for very long. But it's a
great place to go to meet new people or to join a LAN gaming
competition. The college students will probably spend more
time there than anyone.

88. Brianna: I'm at level 8 in my career, but almost in the red for my
aspiration. If I could just roll a fulfillable want or two, to raise my
aspiration, I'd be OK. Once I make my lift, I can even try to go
for my lifetime want. Baldo will be fine, thanks to Freetime, and
it's lifetime happiness. He's almost topped out, what with falling
in love, getting married, and now starting a family. But for me, I
need more. Well, I need SOMETHING.

89. Baldo: Look, sis! I got a fulfillable want when we arrived here.
How about you?
Brianna: I rolled the want to become BFFs with Meadow. That's
not something I can do here.
Baldo: Anything else? Anything fulfillable?
Brianna: No, but there are some men I could flirt with. Maybe I'll
get lucky.

90. Brianna: I found a two-bolter, but he's too cold to stay, and I can't
warm him up with a make-out session, either, since we just met.
I'm still not rolling any fulfillable wants. If Show Business were
lifted, and Intelligence, we could go on a date, and that would
surely put me in the platinum, but for now...

91. Brianna: Let's just go home, Baldo. It's cold and I'm getting tired
and hungry. Time to go nap next to the mood boosters.
Baldo: Yeah, I'm ready to go, too. I haven't rolled any fulfillable
wants after that first one to meet someone new. Still, it was nice
to see the place. I'm sure the kids will enjoy visiting here, when
the stress of classes gets to be too much.
I'll put a copy of it at the college for them to enjoy, too.

92. Brianna: Oh, Seth, I love you! I still don't have any fulfillable
wants, except becoming BFFs with Meadow, but nevertheless, I
want to marry you, after I make my lift. We could move into our
own house together, and become perma-plat together.
You won't be under the same rules as here, so why not?
Brianna: I love you, too, Writer! And will you play us?
I may, but I make no promises. I'm not playing your parents.

93. Brianna: How about it, Seth? Would you like to move in with me,
and become a playable who may, or may not, be played?
Seth: Hmmm, I'll have to think about that. It's not the sort of
proposal we townies are used to getting. Usually, if we accept a
proposal of marriage, it means we're going to be played. We
may be joining a challenge household and be miserable, but at
least we know we'll be played. Give me some time to consider
it, OK?

94. Meadow: In other news, pregnancy is hard on me, and I had to go
for left-overs again, and I got food poisoning, and I do NOT like
being pregnant.
I hear that having a high body skill can help with that.
Meadow: Great. Not while I'm pregnant, but maybe for the next
one.
Study Physiology now. It will fill your time and prepare you, too.

95. Awww, you two are so cute together. Tell you what: If you make
your lift, Brianna, I will play you long enough for you to marry
Seth and for you to go perma-plat. You're actually very close
with the Freetime lifetime happiness, so getting married and/or
having your first woohoo should do it. And then it's up to you.
I'm keeping your parents alive forever by simply not playing
them. Would you like to be unplayed and immortal, or would
you like to live out your lives as the Mazza family?

96. Let's give them time to think about it, shall we, readers? In the
meantime, Happy Simming to you all!
