How frustrating about the car! I'm quite new to FT, so I don't have any good advice, but I hope it gets sorted out soon.

...Oh good, it did!

I remembre seeing an article not too long ago about a RL female-female couple who both got pregnant at the same time. It was pretty chaotic, IIRC. Sims seem to have it a bit easier. (And congratulations on the illegitimate baby, BTW!)

Pooh, if John is going to have an illegitimate baby, he can have things a bit harder! That's only fair. *nodnod*

EDIT: Sorry! Too fast on the mouse! :(

I like Jeff's overalls! Where did you get them?

If Jack really is a clone of Jeff, you can fix it with a little judicious use of the SimBlender and/or Sim Manipulator. Different hairstyles can help a lot too.

Maybe Jeff got the A+ for being really good at sports. Some schools in areas with a lot of trailer parks will do that. Or maybe he's just one of those kids that won't end up staying in the trailer park.

If you can't afford to *buy* a dog, could you perhaps adopt a stray? That's harder, but challenge-legal.

Hand-me-downs are very much in keeping with the spirit of a TPC. *nodnod*

You're doing well on the BACC! Congratulations, and keep it up! :D
