Sims 4 Overthinking: Lorretta’s Legacy
The time is upon us. Kelly and Michael have to figure out what to do with the house. It’s not as simple as flipping it for profit or turning it into their family home. This house was Kelly’s great-grandmother’s home, built by her family, for her family.
It was built by her great-great grandfather for her great-grandparents.
It was the source of a known family feud in the 80’s.
It was a gift from her late great-uncle to her mother.

Break Week: What are you playing?
I’m getting a EKG and heart monitor put on for my usual writing day this week. Nothing too serious, but it’s out of the way and I won’t be home till late.
