I’m such a baby. But honestly, I was getting upset, and my heart beats so fast and loud with each encounter in SH2 that I was getting nervous about that as well as being sulky. Anyway, some needed assistance came through, and I am reinspired to keep trying to move beyond that point in the game.
In the meantime, I played with the SIMS a little, and of course, didn’t read all the instructions nor go through more than a short bit of the demo, and managed within minutes to destroy a perfectly beautiful home before I moved the family in.
