Bad news: At some point in the round I must have accidentally deleted the household's letterbox. The family weren't doing too financially well anyway (Lacy was struggling to get a teaching job from the newspaper that wasn't showing up, oops), so Ace accepted his Miles' offer to move in with him. They're also moving in with Miles' cousin Leon, his kid, and two cats. Boom - instant chaotic household, with no missing letterbox shenanigans. Phew!

Miles introduces Astrid to his little brother Ace, who relays that he's struggling a bit financially. Miles offers his support and ponders asking Leon if their family can stay with them. The house is big enough - and maybe it would be fun for Apple to have some children to play with, now she's a toddler. He sets aside that thought to focus on date night with Astrid. Her independence is extremely attractive but Miles wants to lock something down before elderhood.

Lucky Skipper, and lucky baby number two!

Skipper ages up to a toddler and in true family aspiration style, Ace and Lacy both want to have another baby. That will have to wait til Lacy finds a job - after flopping out of uni she wants to enter the education career and help kids apply themselves and enjoy learning. In the meantime, Uncle Miles comes to visit and meet Skipper. He dotes on her and wonders how Axel is doing.

*Inspired by Barbie’s younger sister; I always thought she had an interesting name!

Buying a house, getting married, having kids... it’s serving trad-life but Ace and Lacy are all about it! They got married right away in their backyard and their first child is on the way. Their furnishings are a bit bare since they wanted a three bedroom home out the gate, but it’s worth it to be on a relatively peaceful Strangetown culdesac with nice neighbours like Johnny Beech.

Third time’s the charm! Lacy Curtain shows up and only has eyes for Ace (even though the new pledge Matthew Hart is a good looking guy). Still, Ace fears having a bad date with her. He shouldn’t have worried - they’re literally engaged now!

Ace kicks off his uni years by getting the date of his dreams with Lacy Curtain. He also has his first woohoo with fellow dormie Lily Pond. His brother Miles was right - La Fiesta Tech is hot!
