All caught up! I like your first-person narration, it's a fun challenge to read.
Spoiler:
Wow! Your rotten luck with the dream job is an equally bad nightmare!
That said, having all those uncontrollables still alive with that many ghosts is quite a feat!
Go, Katri, you can do it! :bounce:

Hi Lorinsv, good to see you! :wave: Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it! ^^
Spoiler:
My luck career-wise has been absolutely rotten! This challenge has already taken longer than it should have been, and my simself is on level 3. :duh: Well, it's true, on the other hand, that everyone is still alive at this time, so that's definitely something. I hope that stays the same, and that my simself would finally have some good luck with the career!

Spoiler:
At least if he's passed out, he can't fight? Gabriel's probably dreaming of fighting, though.

At this point, I don't know what kind of love shape you have going on between everyone because it's more than a triangle. :lol:

It's weird how Gabriel is the only one showing any jealousy.

Ugh, too bad your simself got demoted.

You are right, Gabriel needs out!

I feel like everyone's probably over the fighting by now.

Spoiler:
I'll admit I feel a bit relieved when Gabriel is passed out. At least he can't fight, and can't get scared by the ghosts either.

Oh yeah, at this point, I pretty much have to draw a diagram to keep track of who's romantically linked to whom. :lol:

I think the jealousy thing is ACR's doing. It takes into account I think at least aspiration and personality when calculating whether a sim is jealous or not. Gabriel is Family, so he's the jealous type. Many of the others are Popularity or Pleasure, less likely to be jealous. I think ACR allows sims to be jealous sometimes, so it might blow up in my face yet... With Maxis coding, I probably wouldn't have ended up with so many romances, but if I had, the whole household would be fighting like mad now. :rotfl:

Yeah, we've had absolutely rotten luck with the career. On the other hand, it's quite good that everyone's still alive. *knocks on wood* Nothing to do but to keep on going!

Yeah, poor Gabriel needs to get out, desperately. And everyone else for that matter. They're all over the fighting I think, but enough is enough. I hope for better luck in the future!

Spoiler:
Of course they're fighting again! You just can't escape it, well your simself can, the other residents not so much.

I feel like having someone fight in the background would kill the romantic mood just a bit. :lol:

Woo for a promotion!

Too bad Gabriel wasn't the one to pass out. It would've meant less fighting.

Spoke too soon. It's bad to say, but I hope he stays there, so everyone else could have a calm evening.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed! ^^

Spoiler:
Yeah, my simself is lucky in that at least she can leave the house for work.

I'd think so too, but it doesn't seem to bother Daisy and Edward. :lol:

Hooray, promotion! Unless I get demoted again, only six more to go!

Yeah, I'll admit it feels like it's for the best when Gabriel is out of commission. A little breathing time for the others.
Thanks to you both for reading and commenting! :smoothie:

Spoiler:
Gah three weeks is such a long time!

I don't think naked cooking is all that safe. :lol:

Whenever Gabriel is awake, there's bound to be a fight.

Gabriel has so many enemies at this point, it'd be hard to distract them all!

I wish I had werewolf metabolism. :D

That's a big fight since you can see the dust clouds through the wall!

Lorinsv: Thanks, luck is much needed! :hug:

108sims:
Spoiler:
It is! This challenge should be over by now, if it wasn't for terrible luck in the career department... Oh well, one day at a time.

Probably not, I know I wouldn't want to handle a hot stove naked. :lol:

Yeah, Gabriel seems to draw fights to him at all times while he's conscious. If only my simself could knock him out with a frying pan or something, she'd probably be doing everyone a favor. :pan:

Well, technically it's only Bernadette and Cecily who are enemies with Gabriel, but keeping them both and Gabriel himself distracted at the same time is hard.

Yeah, werewolf metabolism seems handy. :lol: Maybe not so much for sims on free will in a heavily haunted house though... :shifty:

Heh, yeah, lots of dust over there. :D
Thank you both again for reading and commenting! :donut:

Spoiler:
Wow those sims go through a lot of food! I feel like your simself orders groceries everyday.

As bad as it is, a crying Gabriel is better than a fighting Gabriel.

I don't know how Edward was able to watch TV with Gabriel getting slapped in front of it!

No more chance cards sounds like a good idea! I usually opt out of them because I'm worried about getting my sim fired/demoted.

I didn't know that sims could go through the indoor garbage can for food. The more you know. :lol:

Wow this chapter had the least amount of Gabriel fighting so far!

Spoiler:
Yeah, it's definitely a lot of food. Three times werewolf metabolism seems to more than make up for two sims not needing food at all. It's not quite everyday, but say, every three days or so that we need more groceries.

Yeah, pretty much. Even though he's probably crying because he's been fighting. :P

Edward seemed pretty determined to watch some tv. :lol:

I often tend to go for the chance cards in the hopes of a good outcome, but that bites me in the butt when I get the bad outcome at a critical time. In an asylum challenge it's pretty much always a critical time, so I'll try to steer clear from them now.

I didn't know that either, I'd never seen that happen before! Indeed, the more you know. :lol:

Heh, it might be. I wonder if that's because the inmates were more successful in keeping Gabriel out of trouble, or because I've gotten so used to Gabriel fighting that I don't bother to take pictures anymore. It's more newsworthy when Gabriel is not fighting anyone than when he is! :haha:

Your asylum seems relatively calm in comparison to others I've read. :slaphappy: Though I suppose that's not the case in-game, what with all the ghosts.
Spoiler:
Poor plantsims lol. Struggling for sunlight and getting into romantic entanglement.

Architecture has pretty bad chance cards in its early levels, so it's good you don't have to take them.
Pretty fun read!

Hello Jade, and welcome aboard! :wave: Heh, I feel like there's a lot of chaos going on, but I suppose with the setting of the challenge, it could be more. :lol:
Spoiler:
Oh yeah. Felix is doing okay mostly, but Gabriel... Sigh. A Family sim really shouldn't be shut in a place like this. The lack of sunlight is almost a good thing with the romantic mess he's gotten himself into, at least he can't fight when he's passed out!

Oh that's good to know. Even if I get tempted in the hopes of early promotions and skill points, it's probably best to avoid the chance cards here.

Good update, Katri!
Spoiler:
What a relief it must be to finally reach the halfway point of your career! Rest should be a cinch. And it seems like a Fight Club is inevitable in an asylum. Not that I can blame the inmates, for being all cooped up like that.
