My vote:
11. Arboretum: Maxed Gardening and sim must be a fairy (defacto requires alchemy) (no money requirement)

Also, your nonchalant, matter-of-fact narration style is a really good fit for this random, buggy game. Great LP. Just don't get burned out. Once a day is hard to do over the long run. You may want to set a more realistic update schedule for yourself.

Don't worry about not having daily updates. It's a great way to burn out. I'm enjoying this challenge, and definitely looking forward to more. As a little bit of constructive criticism, spend a little more time proofreading your work. Your typos are sometimes getting in the way of the nice narrative that you've got going.

Yeah, this is a great LP and it seems like it'll last quite a while. Take it easy and please don't get burned out; don't let it become a chore. It should be as fun for you to do the LP as it is for us to read it.

I just realized what makes this LP so fantastic, beyond the hilarious bugs and the irreverent narration.

LPs are at their best when an expert player explains how to play through the game optimally. However, because there's normally no real goal or end game in the Sims series, all the previous LPs of the Sims have been narration-focused, which gets boring about a while.

This is the first Sims LP where the OP is focused on doing an optimized, min-maxed run through the game (due to the self-imposed challenge), and it's great because it's showing and explaining a lot of things that casual players would never know.

My suggestions:

Anne to unlock the Police station. So there's someone to deal with all those scary burglars etc.
Rose to unlock a big park so there's somewhere to take potential future doggie friends.
Mark to unlock the Fire Station in case Rose's shenanigans get out of hand.

And aaah the teen birthday trait vanishing, a glitch I've run into before. I don't have all the EPs but I have found the best way to avoid it is to not touch anything once the game centres on the age-up event (and to not be in the traits tab at the time). Seems like the game gets very confused over that age-up otherwise (and only that one, that I've seen!)

Those suggestions are good.

Also it's amazing how buggy this game is. I wonder how much of it has to do with all the myriads of expansions not playing nicely with each other.

Not sure if you covered this already, but is there a reason you designed the house the way you did (i.e. huge rooms with the cheapest decor possible and no windows)?

RIP Stacy. You perished how many many other sims died--in a mysterious pool without a ladder.
