#Sims may not have mortgages but they DO have bills sooo

Day 3 of this round of Newcrest Adventures, and Eric Embers is starting to adapt to living in a haunted house! At the very least, he’s learned how to get some sleep while the specters are spectering, so. . .progress? *shrug* At any rate, he managed to top up his energy, mop up the mysterious symbols (and the water from the sink that broke -- unsure if that was just bad luck or that angry specter from last time), get some breakfast and some TV in --

And then Vaughn, a random guy he knows, just kinda -- showed up. For no reason. Eric and I were equally confused, especially when I couldn’t find the “send home” option on him. O.o Damn NPCs. . .fortunately, he wasn’t actually getting in Eric’s way either (just standing around in the living area), so I had Eric finish his food and attempt another ceremony instead of worrying about the intruder. This one went MUCH better -- sure, the lights flickered, but at least Eric’s new medium powers didn’t sputter out three-quarters of the way through! It also gave Vaughn a bit of a spook -- Eric reassured him that he was well on his way to becoming a proper Paranormal Investigator (complete with a badge -- feel like that shouldn’t unlock until you’ve got, you know, the LICENSE, but Eric was a Detective before, so maybe he just repurposed an old badge), and THEN finally got the option to tell him to shoo. XD About time. . .

After that, I ended up devoting most of Eric’s day to his own reflection -- dude had some Charisma skill to finish building up, after all! And, happily, after hours upon hours of talking, he finally did it! Level 10, maxed out, Friend of the World aspiration finally completed! :D

Just in time for Vlad AND two very angry little specter blobs to show up outside the front door! Apparently the game REALLY wanted me to do things other than just skill up. . .
