It’s snowing when the train begins to make its way through Copperdale, the next town over. Maia pulls two brown paper bags out of her backpack. Maia: I made lunch if you’re hungry. There’s veggie with hummus and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Which would you like? I’m not hungry right now, but I appreciate…
Here’s the last build I converted and updated. Thanks again, EA! This four-bedroom, two-bath student housing is designed with a small family in mind. Divided into two units, the downstairs can be rented out to roommates while a family of two or three (including a toddler) can live upstairs. (Long-time readers will recognize this as…
Here’s another build I was able to transform into a rental, thanks to EA. This building includes four townhomes, each with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. Three townhomes are fully furnished. The last one includes bathroom and kitchen counters and fixtures. Includes washer & dryer, small community playground, and attached mini “backyards” with gardens for…
I could finally make some of my older builds into real rentals, thanks to EA. This multiple-family home has 2 units. Each side has 1 bedroom and 1 bath with a fenced-in patio-style yard. One unit is fully furnished, and the other is partially furnished with kitchen and bathroom necessities. To download, visit the Sims…
Maia and I travel back to Brindleton Bay in a shared S-Uber while continuing our discussion about the trip to Del Sol Valley. After seeing her home, I return to my place to finish my night, still feeling high on the tea and our kiss. A thought occurs to me, and I call her on…

Shortly after my family leaves, I arrive in the Spice District in San Myshuno. Now that I see it, I realize I was wrong to prejudge it. It would have been a great place to live, but then again, I would be living in an apartment – not a large house like the one I’m…
I receive a call from Ma first thing the following day. I answer it right away. Wade: *on the phone* Hey Ma! Is everything okay? Melisa: *on the phone* Mostly, but I have bad news to deliver. I tense in anticipation. Wade: What is it? Melisa: Belle passed away this morning. The news feels like…
We leave the museum and go up the hill to the lighthouse. The day is still grey and dreary, but at least we’ve gotten a bit of respite from the rain. I never thought of a lighthouse as exciting, but I can understand the appeal as we get closer. The architecture of the tall structure…
I’ve procrastinated on quitting my job for days now. I don’t know what’s held me back. Maybe it’s the fear of what my parents will say. Or perhaps I’m a little afraid of putting my financial future entirely into my own hands. Either way, I pull out my phone with shaky hands, dial the number…
