“Love. Money. Family. It’s all part of the game isn’t it? I’m fine if people think this is a mercenary move. I’m okay if people think I married Ripp for the money I’ll admit that’s part of it. Is this partly because I found out Don Lothario is married? Or, on Ripp’s part, that his father married Bella Goth? I won’t pretend those things didn’t factor into it, but we are both adults. We make our own decisions I think this could be a good one. First step? Redoing the house. Who knows? Maybe I’ll find my nice in interior design.” --Dina Caliente Grunt

One of the perils of playing with lots of cc is when a new patch/update comes out and breaks a bunch of it, which yes, easily done if patient. After reloading my #Bellagruntville save full of bald, naked Sims in empty houses, I took the opportunity to refine my CAS folder. Makeovers for everyone it is,  I then lost patience when it came to the Build/Buy stuff, so all that right now is what the game provides. It’s...surprisingly, okay. Though once my favorite creators update, I will start adding that back in. Bella and Buzz’s wedding approaches, and #CassandraGoth is quite pleased with the fact that she will be inheriting the house.

Goth family, week three, pt 3 “It’s not that I don’t like Buzz. He’s cool. I mean, he’s kind of *really* into the army. Like, a lot. Which is good, I guess. My dad loved his lab stuff, and his, um, hobbies. I get three brothers out of the deal. I always wanted a brother. Tank and Rip are adults, too, so they can probably, uh, help with homework. Yeah. That’s what I meant. Is my mom going to see this? No reason. Buck is kind of my age. We’re...getting to know each other. He’s okay.”

Both Ripp and Tank have now graduated high school. Ripp has gone straight into the military career. He will probably keep the house when Buzz and Bella marry, Buck will accompany his father and start high school when he has his teen birthday. Bella still has teen Alexander at home, and Cassandra should be headed to uni at the same time as Ripp. For ease of play, I may make a dorm of all playables, or at least a house share, so all playble students are in the same place. 

Despite Bella’s best efforts to summon Mortimer’s ghost, it seems he has indeed gone beyond the veil. This is good news for Buzz Grunt, as he and Bella are now officially dating. They’ll be taking it slow for the time being, but this seems like a good direction. They both have kids headed to Uni soon, and Buzz still has Buck in elementary school over in Oasis Springs. For now though, this is good.
