Doesn’t she look happy? When I started this Sims 3 blog, I never thought I’d be jealous of a Sim with only a bed, a book, and an unfinished wall to her name.
Before work it’s off to the fitness center for a bowl of breakfast cereal.

Before returning home, I have her stop by the library so that we can try to steal some books.
