The ghost dog isn't even the scariest thing that day.
"That was a shitty thing to say, Bhamv."
I just assumed you had misspelt it.I'm surprise nobody got my Santa Carla reference

When I first glanced at it, I thought it said "Santa Clarita", which was odd, but on brand. I read it again, and hence, my gif reply.

The failed state of American Health Care, Illustrated.
The failed state of American Health Care, Illustrated.
As I feared, Luca has also shuffled off his mortal coil in my absence.
It's getting a little chilly, but Wasabi still goes for a dip. In fact, she mostly wears her bathing suit all day.
I have a spotty record with this, but I get Terrik to beseech his departed dog to return, anyway.
Then it's breakfast time.
Cheesy tries his hand at sculpting, to further his aspiration.
Charon's extra sad - not only has Luca died, but apparently Charon was good friends with a townie - Geoffrey Landgraab - who has also passed away.
At 7, Terrik heads off to work. The weather's pretty nasty.
Uh, apparently this hospital employs the undead. One of the nurses is a ghost.
Oh hey, MikeRC is here getting treated for... something.
Terrik spends 20 minutes doing research online. This is the most work he does all day.
He also chats with the patients...
And brings them food...
Cog seems to have been involved in some kind of culinary catastrophe.
Welp, that's not Terrik's problem, it's Coffee time.
And then off to distract an actual doctor by complaining about his job.
Hygiene is key, though. Can't spread any germs on all those coffee cups.
Boy, the queue at the front desk is really piling up. But Terrik's already done everything he's supposed to do today. He chatted. He drank coffee. What more could be asked of him??
Well, since it's Cog, Terrik pulls a few strings and gets him admitted.
Full body burns are a bit above his pay grade, though, both figuratively and literally, so he refers the case to a more senior Doctor.
And besides, that lets Terrik run out the clock with some hearthstone before he gets to go home.
Good Job, Terrik!
Meanwhilst, Cheesy has been diligent in pursuing his logical ambitions.
Charon was not paying attention while he computed, and barely manages to make it to the toilet in time before there's a puddle problem.
Wasabi has her way of recharging...
.... and Jun has hers.
Gryfter and Cheesy have the same aspirations, so it behooves them to cooperate. Their shared interests form the basis of a strong friendship.
Having solved his pee pee predicament, Charon decides to ease his sorrows by pulling a Dei.
Am I incapable of eating at my own house? Or do I just have some kind of crush on the vendor in the park? Why did I get more food than I can carry? Why is it all salad and milkshakes?!
Cheesy's dinner is spoiled. He eats it anyway.
General Specific is so tired when he gets home from work that he goes straight to bed.
While he uses the bathroom, the sink breaks, providing Cheesy another opportunity to excel.
Gryfter helps clean up the mess.
Then the two of them get back to the chessboard, whilst being serenaded by Jun's violin practice. Everybody else heads off to bed.
Genspec wakes up early for breakfast.
Oh, hey, look who's under the table!
Jun gives the sad spectral hound some cheering up.
Once he's feeling better, Luca rejoins the household.
Yyyyep, he's still Luca.

cleaning up after roommates, CAN lead to mad Jenga skillls when it comes to dishes. Also Sara, if you can wear Foxgear and I'll try remember my Crystal Pepsi gear
Well, I don't normally go straight to bed when I get home, but I do often take a nap after a long day.
That means Nancy's available?

Long Nap of the Law 2: Return of the Hobo
Long Nap of the Law 2: Return of the Hobo
The Pet Mortality Parade just keeps on coming. I really need to update the household thumbnails.
Peoples just be doin their thang, none of which applies to their careers/aspirations. In fact, it's getting kinda cold to swim, Emrys.
Dirona's level 3 cooking, and she needs 4 level 4 skills, so I prompt her to make breakfast.
It's delish.
Emrys apparently didn't get much sleep last night. She takes a nap right after breakfast.
Patrthom and Dirona get to workin that chess logic, while Squidley chats with them before work. Adam gets in a little light reading.
It's time for Squidley to crack a case. I dunno what happened with the last one, but she gets assigned a new case.
She lays out the facts of the case, and then heads out to the crime scene.
She interviews witnesses and gathers evidence. Not sure what happened here exactly, but it involved burning a lot of kitchen appliances.
It's a long day of cross referencing and analyzing evidence, and all Squidley is able to glean from the information is that the suspect is female, and a genius. Unfortunately, her fatigue is starting to catch up with her.
She puts out an APB on the suspect, and arrives at a sighting - where there are 5 women doing brainy stuff.
Fortunately, two of them are able to point out the person of interest.
Squidley makes the collar.
Back at the station, Squidley goes to interrogate the suspect, but has a slight delay enroute.
She lays out the evidence arrayed against the suspect.
Then goes a little "bad cop."
But it's determined that the suspect is innocent, and is set free.
This cop stuff is tough.
Squidley goes home, and doesn't quite make it to bed.
Boy, MikeRC sure likes that hospital gown he got.
The ferret's still alive and kickin'. Since it is added by a mod, I wonder if it even CAN age or die.
That night, an apparition appears.
Squidley's glad to see him.
HCGLNS then possesses the jukebox to scare Emrys.
"Oh hey, Scruffy! What's it like being a ghost?" "Oh, you'll find out soon." "... What?"
HCGLNS puts that dumb urn in the corner, and mixes up a drink for his wife. And with that, his aspiration advances.

Apparently, in Dei's game, you and I are friends... but you're incredibly mean to me. You call me and ask to come over all the time, and then make fun of me and spurn my every advance. It's painful to watch. Dei finds it HILARIOUS.
Why is my Pud gone??!?
Can he come back too?
Can he come back too?

Old age, probably. 1 sim year is like 20 human years.
Probably. I just have to notice him whenever his ghost deigns put in an appearance, and have somebody he's at least "good friends" with invite him back into the household.
Am I his good friend?
GasBandit
Staff member
Yes, but you're not the only one. So, for example, if you're asleep when Pud's ghost comes to visit and I can't wake you up for whatever reason, Emrys could also get him back in the household.
I'm sorry other SimCelt Z is mean, but I'm with Dei; it is pretty funny.
