This was loads of fun to read, Esme! Poor Pong, keep getting caught up in the cheating challenges xD It looked like fun to play, though. And Allyn looks like heaps of fun! :D
Glad you enjoyed it, Sam! :D I always have a blast playing this challenge.
Poor Pong, indeed! He's too nice for this family. I wasn't so sure about Allyn, but then she started talking about ghosts and I knew she'd fit right in. I just have to remember to let her tell me what she's like instead of thinking I know.
Thanks for reading and commenting! *high fives Sam*
This is one of my favorite things to read right now, I really enjoy the way you write. You got some difficult challenges this time... poor Pong lol! So, you'll always update this after every three Sim days?
Poor Pong indeed! I feel sorry for the guy -- he's getting hula zombies when he goes, no matter what. (Although the "Five Sims smustling at the same time" task should have been a gimmie...)
Each chapter will cover three Sim days, because it's really hard to write more than that. They're not always posted the second I finish playing the three days, though, due to things like maintaining continuity with other households and my real-life schedule. :(

Poor, poor Pong! The guy really seems to have gotten the short end of the stick these last few challenges. They'd've gone to buy strawberries, if necessary, but I'm very glad the family has their own garden!
Allyn can do the child challenges, Winifred can do the toddler ones (over her parents objections, if needed), and Georgiana can take over as the other two age up. That's planning, that is. ;)
Aw, thanks! *blushes* I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the story. Thanks for reading and commenting! *high fives Amy*
Lol! I'm really glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I read the part about Pong and her 'rack' Poor guy got slapped twice now. I take it strawberry juice reduces furiousness? I've never used it.
Do you have FreeTime? I forget.
I like Allyn. Lots of active points?
Well since zombies can't be cured I'm glad no one became one! Shame about the others. I guess this is the kind of challenge where you might want to befriend a vampire beforehand.
Glad you like the line -- and glad you weren't drinking coffee! Your computer would never forgive me. :P Pong's been slapped three times, actually -- poor guy! :( (Random store clerk, Rebecca, and Anastasia.) He puts up with a lot for this family.
Strawberry juice does reduce furiousness: one glass will completely erase one Furious meter. Pong had to drink three glasses, I think: Rebecca, Anastasia, and (for some reason) Descartes. I have no idea what was up with Descartes...
I don't have Free Time, but that's not by choice. :'( Why do you ask?
I don't know Allyn's point spread, actually. I'd put money on plenty of Outgoing at the least, and there's probably a fair share of Active in there.
I have the creature painting, and I would certainly have thought very seriously about using it if I'd managed a zombie. You're supposed to start with a CAS family, but Callista has been quite clear that it's totally OK (and recommended) to read the list of challenges in advance and to plan for all eventualities, including making friends with vampires/witches/etc., having handy friends with Toddlers and room to move them in the house, and so on.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :D Thanks for reading and commenting! *high fives Jo*
Aww, poor Pong. He's getting the short end of the stick there all the time. Too nice for his own good, at least in this family! (I totally laughed at Rebecca and Anastasia's comments during the cheating episode, too.)
Hmm, looks like Allyn's gonna be a fun addition to the family. :)
Some bad luck with the challenges, but hey, you're still right on track after nine days! Impressive!
Poor, poor Pong! Four Nice points, and he's still nicer than father-in-law, sister-in-law, and wife put together! :( I wish I could take credit for the comments, but the girls practically wrote those themselves. Rebecca really was primping and missed the flirt, Anastasia real did keep trying to go home so she could get something to eat, etc.
I wasn't so sure about Allyn, but she won me over with the "ghosts" thing, and I'm glad she's the one the adoption pool spat out.
I was so worried I wasn't going make nine for nine. Thank goodness for that community lot rule! *is massively relieved*

Thoroughly entertaining as always, Esme, I do love this family. :D
