Get his ass, Sarah, and don't you pay another nickel.

(Transcript: WHEREAS my husband William Smith, whom I raised from indigence, clothed and maintained, has ungratefully behaved himself in an unmanly and shameful manner, by beating and abusing me, and destroying my property -- I hereby forewarn all persons from trusting him on my account, as I am determined to pay no debts of his contracting; but shall suffer him to return, as his unworthy behaviour deserves, to the dirt from which I raised him.

Sarah Smith

Norfolk, Sept. 16)

That's the endorphins talking, Lacy. Don't lock the want, it rolls away.

Lacy was conflicted about the future of her family. On one hand, she was sick of being pregnant. On the other hand, she already had three kids—how about… seven more?

Whose birthday party can she do it at, then?

"Please, Delta, not at my daughter’s birthday party!"

Mommy and Daddy are busy.

Lacy: Satin, dear, could you play with your dollhouse for a while? Satin: Oh. Okay.

"School districts that don’t respect transgender and nonbinary students’ pronouns or force them to use restrooms that don’t align with their gender identity could be committing federal civil rights violations beginning this fall.

Today, the U.S. Department of Education announced the issuance of a final rule under Title IX to protect people in public schools from sex-based discrimination and harassment. The announcement marks a significant update in federal efforts to combat sex discrimination in federally funded educational institutions. During a call with reporters, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona emphasized the administration’s dedication to ensuring that Title IX effectively serves all students by providing safe, welcoming, and rights-respecting educational environments."

Behold, the nascent business district of Eden's Land!

#Sims 2 #Eden's Land

First stop, an empty lot, where Thor pulls that handy genie lamp out of his inventory. They hang around - Rachel attempting to bond with her new brother-in-law by the power of water balloons; I adore Rachel - until the money stops falling from the sky, and then move out - together, again. Niall and Thor aren't exactly close, but Rachel and Leah are, and they have a good range of skills and badges among the lot of them. They can help and support each other until such time as one or the other couple feels a need to move.

With baby wants popping up, a crop to get in, and two businesses to oversee, this will be a busy household.

The friction between Niall and Freya is as bad as ever, and not likely to get better in such a crowded house. Rachel pounces on the newspaper as soon as it's dropped off, and both happy couples head out.

As if all this weren't enough, it's Puppy Time for Ulfa!

Niall and Leah may have pussyfooted around longer about deciding to get married, but they are now beforehand with the business of having a proper wedding night. Two Family sims, no waiting, and Baldur's not presently using his bed anyhow.

The party rocks, and both Rachel and Leah are stoked about learning to sew; though Rachel has been in heels long enough thanks very much.

Wow, deja vu.

I understand you were tired, Frey, but don't you think you should have changed from PJs to formalwear before you came out?

I love sim weddings. They're so ridiculous, and so much more fun than real weddings.

The party, and various gatecrashers, have moved on from watching the arch, but after all the thing's already set up.

Once Niall makes up his mind, though, it's made up. Love is followed immediately by a want for an engagement and he takes action.

Something about the occasion - or possibly about seeing her having a nice conversation with Baldur - finally lights a fire under Niall.

He's not a very smooth lover, I'm afraid. If fidelity weren't a factor I'd totally be rooting for Baldur to snag her out from under him. But Leah is family and does not deserve the life Baldur's wife, if she ever exists, will lead.

Oh, hey, nobody hits anybody while the vows are being said! Good job!

The great day dawns with Moar Violence, but at least this time it's a stray cat beating up the enormous sheep dog. Thor throws a wedding party, forgetting (as everyone always does because it makes no sense) that Crow and Cain can't stand each other.

Medb is not invited, but since when does she let a silly thing like that stop her?
