The Bingley Family Album: Volume XV
We're catching up with another member of the Bingley clan today - Benjamin, over in Sanditon, and his fiancé Walter.
Top of the list after getting his own place, was to adopt a dog from the animal shelter. Enter Moody! He reminds Benjamin a lot of his childhood pal Bella.

He proves to be great company while Benjamin is alone at home during the day.
And the pair soon form a close bond. (He also sports some rather splendid facial hair, just like his master.)
He quickly becomes a favourite with Dog Person Walter too. His family never had any pets while he was growing up, but he's thoroughly enjoying having Moody around now.
Benjamin was also keen to set up his own dedicated art studio at home, to pursue his dream of perfecting a masterpiece.
He finds inspiration everywhere he looks.
Well, I guess his ambition to make his mark on the art world has to start somewhere!
Robert doesn't know about art, but he knows what he likes, and that includes his ex's oeuvre.
Walter meanwhile is still risking life and limb on a daily basis as an Adventurer. He's certainly well equipped for tackling the considerable risk posed by taking a shower.
Also on the agenda is hosting a house-warming party. Unfortunately, it turns into an occasion for Benjamin's past conquests to come back to haunt him - including his flings with Townie Chandler Platz (undocumented), Julia,...
...Robert and Anna.
While Walter was happy to be just one of many before their engagement, he now expects a little more commitment from Benjamin.
Now that they've reached a firm understanding as to the footing of their relationship, everything is soon smoothed over between them.
And - much to the surprise of both - it's hello, impending parenthood! But will Walter stay the course this time, or will he cut and run, just as he did in the past with Cassandra? (I've given up trying to rationalise same-sex pregnancy in my game - Sims aren't humans, they don't have the same biology as us, so it just happens, because I want it to! 😁)
