Update: Life and Books (Feb 2022)

I know February isn’t quite over, but I didn’t feel like trying to figure out another post for today, so we’re doing this one early. And since the world is not doing great right now, and I’m not doing great right now, and a lot of people aren’t doing great right now, I’ve decided to...

Update: Life and Books (Jan 2022)

Unlike their Island Living vacation which was pretty chill, this one was full of snowboarding, skiing, hiking, and mountain climbing. But my sims are active sims, so they had an absolute blast.
