Overstuffed

I didn't plan the nursery very well.

None of the children are happy, because all of the toddlers are angry (and loud, for that matter). I'm also realizing that it's going to be really hard to keep everyone happy, and more importantly, busy, once the toddlers age up. The good news is - well, there's not a lot of good news, but the children will become teens before then, and can work on their athletic skill (and, with a recent rules change, charisma).

For once, Generations is a boon: after checking the mail, literally every single one of the children got an imaginary friend doll. That'll shut 'em up, and since the house is stuffed full, there's no chance of unwanted supernaturals invading.

This is literally the first time I've stuffed a house completely full, and it is something of a challenge.

I'll manage, though.

The children became teens with little incident; they developed decent traits this time.

Abigail:

Virtuoso
Genius
Light Sleeper
Artistic

Emily:

Hates the Outdoors
Virtuoso
Childish
Athletic

Jacob:

Loves the Outdoors
Schmoozer
Athletic
Mean Spirited

And the second set of triplets eventually grew into children:

Yes I failed to catch her playing pretend in time.

Felicia (the blonde):

Couch Potato
Loves the Outdoors
Loves the Cold

Danica (the bald kid):

Neurotic
Brave
Disciplined

Zoe (has black hair):

Slob
Insane
Genius

I've also decided to kill Janie off, as she's no longer necessary. This will take quite a while as she barely eats at all.

Callous as it is to say, she's superfluous to my needs, and I think eight sims is a bit too much for me. I'll be cutting down the family size in the future.

Once they've outlived their usefulness.

Make sure if you have Overwatch to turn off - temporarily - checking for stuck Sims. When it notes she hasn't moved, it'll move her someplace safe - exactly what I don't want.

I deleted the teenagers' IF dolls the moment they hit teen, but I'll let the children keep theirs a little longer.

One other thing: apparently some of the extra packages for Story Progression caused some pretty impressive stupidity. One of them caused all that paternity leave, and I think another eliminated snow days, since I immediately started seeing them after removing the extra packages.
