On Emil and the Bugs

So I got Emil to:

Break up with his spouse,
Marry into the house,
Move into the house because glitches are stupid,
And finally, make a baby,

all in the span of a single Monday.



Tomorrow he'll be looking in the paper for a job - I don't have time to be overly picky with Emil; he only has six days left until adulthood, himself.

Except ... the paper kid and the mailman have both been MIA for at least a week by my count.

I have two extremely out of date mods that haven't caused any trouble before this - the scribbling pad and the moodfix mod. (I sometimes see persistently elated sims, rather than perpetually depressed sims).

So, off with their heads, I'll just hope an EA patch has finally addressed the mood issue completely. I somehow doubt it though.

Nnnnope. No such luck.

Bugs: The only thing besides you that can ruin a challenge with an excellent start.

So what I'm going to do about it is, I'm going to bulldoze the house and rebuild the lot.

Only I can't place a lot where I want to, so I go a little bit out of my way. I grab a 40x40 lot, which is handily adjacent to two residential lots (I apocalyptified the housing) and a place I can turn into a park. So I do.

As a little treat to myself to assuage the pain of having to go to extremes to fix things, (including, due to how I had to fix it, losing all of Janie's friends, classmates, and ex-accomplices from her relationship menu) I finish the building. I don't intend to build anything more for a while, anyway, and it's only about two weeks worth.

So here's the floor plan:






Maddeningly, this, too, did not fix it. I've got one more option, we'll see if this works. If not, I'll be restarting.

Sigh.
