OPAT Day 51! Today was another chaotic day. While Esther got on with completing various aspirations, writing novels, and gardening, more sinister things were due with Brandon and Kendrick. Fights and declaration of enemies kicked off their day, and then it was clear that Kendrick’s life was coming to an end. Moov Jr is becoming more like a guard dog than a tiny lil pet by the day, and helped to deal with their bully problem. And Julio seems to have welcomed him into the spirit realm just nicely.

OPAT Day 50!! Today, things started to turn on Brandon after his chaotic ventures. Kendrick has moved in, continued to sleep on the couch, and get into fights with Brandon, but Brandon has really struggled with the fact Kendrick is a gym trainer and keeps beating him. And the two lovers of Brandon have finally met, with Julio telling stories of Brandon’s sweetness while Kendrick shares his despair. Who knows that that will lead to? On the sidelines, Esther is low-key enjoying the chaos, with her writing continuing to be a success!

OPAT Day 49! Well, how the tables turned. Brandon and Kendrick were ready to fall in love, get married and have a happy life before Kendrick’s inevitable cowplant consumption. However, after discovering Kendrick is evil, we had a bit of a shift. Kendrick’s autonomous insulting of Brandon flicked a switch in Brandon’s currently chaotic brain, and so Kendrick has joined the family and how lives in a home with his angry boyfriend, no bed, and a whole lot of cleaning to do. What a mess. At least Esther made some tasty food.

OPAT Day 48! Brandon’s mischief took full control today, as we watched him travel around the world doing voodoo, fires, and fights! Even his cosy date with Kendrick to the rival gym (which in itself was a bad idea) resulted in a fight. He’s definitely not the best person to be around right now. Meanwhile, Esther just had a chill day going between work and writing, though had a visit from Julio during breakfast! What a great day.

OPAT Day 47! Today Brandon’s mischief continued, involving plenty of fights and farts! After a busy day being a nuisance, he reunited with Julio in a friendly musical session. But the ex hanging around didn’t stop Brandon from taking things to the next level with Kendrick, the gym instructor of his dreams, and they became official! Esther on the other hand had a mostly uneventful day of writing and gardening, until she discovered her best friend, Claudia, had passed. Thankfully she came over to the rescue.

OPAT Day 46! After yesterday’s chaos, Brandon joining the Criminal career seemed like a great decision to continue the madness! He got involved in many fights and had some Sims hate him, while also playing some casual pranks on other residents of Willow Creek! Meanwhile, Esther continued to peacefully get on with her writing, either unaware or ignoring Brandon’s antics!

OPAT Day 45! Today, Esther continued to quietly get on with writing books, though not achieving any masterpieces yet! It was Brandon’s day to cause trouble today. Forgetting that Julio’s ghost continued to haunt the family, he spent a lot of time with Kendrick... a lot of quality time. He was pretty smug about it all, as well as finally completing the Secret Agent career! He decided to fully embrace his mischievous ways by joining the Criminal career, so we’ll see how that goes...

OPAT Day 44! After their festive preparations the day before, the twins decided to get back into some of their normal activities and progressing with their careers and skills! Esther got back to gardening and writing, though dabbled a little bit in mixology! Meanwhile, the music continued to play in Brandon’s ears, but not without a little bit of flirting with the local gym trainer....

OPAT Day 43! Today the twins got festive! They decorated their house to be as bright and Christmassy as they could be, complete with lights, garlands, presents, and a tree! While Brandon played his violin and learnt some festive tunes, Esther took to the crackers and hunted for a whole collection of holiday plushies! After many crackers, she got there in the end and completed the set! And of course they wrapped up the day with some aging prevention!!

OPAT Day 42! This day seems very Esther-centric, as she spent a lot of the time travelling between community lots to make new friends! What a social bunny! Between hanging out in the garden and crying at her broken PC, she had a blast of a time! Brandon clearly did nothing of note, other than bathing in a dirty tub...

OPAT Day 41! Today was a day of skill-building and aspiration-seeking for both of the twins! Brandon continued with his musical prowess, but also managed to complete the fishing aspiration! Not far off completing the fish wall! Meanwhile, while trying to keep the house clean, Esther focused on the gardening, and was incredibly proud of how many of her harvestables hit perfect quality! Will the women in Brandon’s life distract the good progress of the twins?

OPAT Day 40! A shorter episode today, but still had some fun things going on! Esther began the writing career and continued to do well, but faced some domestic troubles with the pesky ghost of Julio who kept breaking all of the bathroom appliances! Brandon had a more risque day, due to his work requiring romantic interactions, and so he spent his day charming 3(!) different women and seeing where he could go! What will happen if things get more serious?

OPAT Day 39! Today, Esther needed to complete her last few tasks for the Stylist career. She spent a lot of time in dirty bathrooms pushing up her Charisma skill, and then pulled out the camera and took some photos! After a couple of selfies and encouraging Brandon to pose, she got to quit her job and start back up in the Writer career! Meanwhile, Brandon carried on progressing in the Secret Agent business, but had a few mood swings on the way! Maybe the bonding with new friends isn’t going as well as we hoped...

OPAT Day 38! Today, the twins really got to business at trying to progress with their jobs! Esther pushed her writing skill up to level 9 and wrote some amazing tales in ‘Goldie’s Naps’, and took to the garden to collect more Perfect collectables! When he wasn’t dealing with ‘racy pictures’ at work, Brandon also went outdoors to find collectables around Willow Creek, and serenaded himself with the violin! However, the dastardly dead boyfriend Julio got angry and created a real mess on the lot! Maybe our new friend Tonya can keep us occupied...
