or something

So yesterday in the tags I asked what the Brokes were getting up to, and I actually ended up visiting them once I realized that Ruby had aged up to a teen.

But before we see the Brokes again, things did happen to Shawna, Demi, and Ali (not so much Eva, she's just kinda there at the moment).

Demi is apparently a bro, and so she got wants to go to a bar and have drinks. Since she had completed all her homework and didn't have any classes to go to that day. So she went to the Willow Creek bar at like, noon or something.

Very bro-ish.

When she was done with that, it was a spirit day for Foxbury, and since she's a member of that club (organization?), she attended it.

Then she came across the Servo that came to Shawna's New Year's party and became friends with him.

Meanwhile, Ali had been going through a bit of a crisis, between her non-existent social life and her steadily dropping grades. Shawna tried to help her through the crisis, and Demi helped Ali with her school project.

Okay, now onto the Brokes.

When I saw that Ruby was a teen, I had to check how old Flat and Flo were, and I realized that I was on the edge of missing Skip's existence, and so I quickly made sure that Flo was pregnant with him, and settled in a bit with Flo, Flat, and Ruby.

I wanted Ruby to have the Villainous Valentine aspiration, seeing as her Sims 3 counterpoint has the "Heartbreaker" lifetime wish, but apparently teens can't have that aspiration? So for right now, she has the knitting aspiration, since a few new hats or socks never hurt anyone, right?

I'm currently trying to have Ruby make some friends, as I usually do with teen Sims, and just like every time I try to do this, I wish there was some designated lot for teen Sims in the base game or something. I made a lot with the teen hangout trait, it's tagged as a lounge so that Sims actually go in, and either my game is filled with elders, or lounges attract elders. Idk. It's just kinda annoying.

I also very briefly visited Buck and Mary Lu, and tried to brace myself to do What Must be Done, but in the end I just got sad while looking through pictures they've taken together, and so they're still fine too.
