And now to the last installment so far! I started the challenge in the summer of 2014, so I have been roughly playing it for two years, on and off. It really takes a long time to get enough money for the resurrections, and I moved the Tricou teens, which in the meantime have become adults, out of the house, because it just became too crowded.
Naturally, the more Sims you have in the house, the faster you earn money, so it might not take you 2+ years to finish the challenge. I also have several different games that I play in rotations.
There are three Sims living in the House of Fallen Tree now: Jon Smith Tricou, his daughter Jennail Tricou, and Kvornan Tricou, Jennails unfaithful husband. Jennail is pregnant with Kvornan´s baby. She realized the marriage will not work out, but has a hard time accepting it. Kvornan was asked by Jon to stay and contribute to the family funds, so the next deceased can be resurrected. Kvornan teeth-gnashingly accepted, he plans on moving out as soon as that task is accomplished.
Besides that, life goes as usual in in the House of Fallen Trees - the ghosts scare residents and visitors alike. Especially Fricorith is mean, and terrorizes his father Kvornan - I guess he knows well what goes on between his parents.
He also seems unpertubed by the blazing fire Jon managed to create, as long as he can continue to plunder the frigde.
The constant ghost scaring and Jennail being pregnant lead to unpleasant scenes like this:
While the house falls even more into disarray, Jan unabashedly goes on a date with Kvornan at the Leopard Lounge.
"What? Don´t judge me!"
"Yeah, don´t judge us! You haven´t been in limbo for years!"
Well, it seems that having been dead becomes Kvornan´s excuse for everything.
While Kvornan has no problem sliding in the silken sheets with Jan, he still refuses to let Jan give him a backrub or flirt with him. The resurrection process has left him a bit sore and grouchy, it seems.
Jan openly shows me what she thinks of this kind of behavior, and leaves.
The others stay at their new house and dine in a less luxurious surrounding.
As the pater familias, Jon visits often to see if everything is in order.
Have some cute pictures of Aureus in between, Orion´s and Lucien´s love child.
I decide that the new house still is too crowded with the remaining Tricous, so Jan and Pandora move into a new home. The term "home" might be a bit exaggerated, though. "Ramshackle hut" would describe it more accurately.
The "house"-warming party is a full success.
A few months later, and they at least could afford to decorate a few rooms:
I close with two more images from the boys, first Arn and Tiave, and finally Loren, who just looks lovely in MDP´s new jacket!
