We heard a ghost sound in the game when playing with the emo family and we ran to my mom crying.😂 we never played it after that, until a few years later when I started to get into gaming when I was like 8-9 (I’m 15 now) and played it all the time.

Cus if I recall, the kids couldn’t feed the pets and obv as you did, could only eat snacks but I wanted the whole dinners!! Oh, and I used to build a whole small house with a long path to the mailbox, and once it was done I would drag up the terrain and make HUGE cliffs/mountains around the house on every single tile.

For your hair look into the curly girl method!! Or “scrunch out the crunch”!!

The curved stairs... how is it that they were in the first series and never have they appeared again. I had a sim, Buffy Simmers, vampire layer and slayer.
