Do you know what I’ve been neglecting? My Trailer Park Challenge! So, having finished decorating a really fancy mansion for the Tricous, I felt in the mood for something completely different: catching up with Daisy Mae and her family!
Not to mention I am really behind in posting these, and at this rate I won’t be able to post my heir poll before they grow up.
Quick recap: Daisy Mae finally gave in to her longstanding attraction to Lindsay, which made her feel conflicted and guilty, Jolene was born while her older siblings Misty and Ike grew up, and the Fullers adopted Moody, the most persistent cat in the world.
So, what’s new at the Fuller household? For the moment, things are downright peaceful.
Boo makes friends with the mail carrier...
...while Daisy Mae gets promoted to Fast Food Shift Manager, the first Fuller ever to hold the title of “Manager.” Unfortunately, what it really means is that she now has to deal with endless complaints levelled at her by entitled customers, and if an employee doesn’t do their job well, it’s Daisy’s neck on the line.
This update is dedicated to birthdays, because several Fullers had one!
First off, Bonnie and Clyde left diapers and bottles behind forever, which I’m sure came as a huge relief to everyone; for the first time, there would be no toddlers crawling around the trailer! Well, for the moment, anyway.
The twins are quite similar, but they’re not identical; the eyes are different, and so are their mouths (possibly the noses too?)
Secondly, Jolene became a teen and felt rather conflicted about it: she was glad to no longer be a kid, but would being older help her escape Misty’s shadow or just cement her status as the Ignored Middle Child?
She rolled the Family aspiration, so she still has a chance to become heir!
It turned out that Boo is no longer the youngest either. Aw, bless.
And lastly, Ike became an adult, which meant he had to say goodbye to his parents and siblings and strike out on his own. He’s a smart kid, I’m sure he’ll do fine (and we’ll be catching up with him later on.)
The Fullers are having their first ever yard sale! It’s basically junk, but you won’t find a better bargain!
Daisy Mae: “This is a great mattress for your clubhouse or whatever! Just 125 simoleons!”
Undecided Teen: “What are those stains?”
Daisy Mae: “Uhh don’t worry about that, just flip it over and it’s as good as new!”
Considering it wasn’t new to begin with, that’s doubtful, Daisy. Needless to say, her prospective customer was not convinced.
The yard sale was an excuse for Lindsay to drop by the Fuller place, and add fuel to the proverbial fire...
She bought a light fixture, the first purchase made at the yard sale.
Also the only purchase made at the yard sale.
Then, while Daisy Mae tended to little Ike, Lindsay ran afoul of Cory who was trying to make a sale of his own.
Cory: “So, I heard you’re into sports. What would you say to an original, signed Daniel Pleasant trading card? You’d say YES, am I right?”
Lindsay: “Uh, I-”
Cory: “And because you’re a family friend, I’m willing to let it go at half the price. Better decide fast though, there’s someone else who’s interested!”
Lindsay: “Well, I guess I could-”
Cory: “Good choice! That’ll be 150 simoleons.”
Lindsay was too embarrassed to call him out on his obvious bullshit in front of Daisy Mae, so she gritted her teeth, took the card, and made a phonecall to her boss.
Lindsay, honey, you do realise this is also hurting the woman you’ve been pining over for ages, right?
Meanwhile, Daisy Mae was having some trouble of her own.
Raver Woman: “This place is filthy! There are beer cups everywhere, and I caught that dog sleeping on the merchandise!”
Daisy Mae: “Boo's clean, I gave her a bath only last week! The cups are left over from our wedding, with the baby and everything we didn’t have the time to clean up.”
Raver Woman: “There’s a baby living in this dump?!”
Aaaand Daisy Mae lost another customer.
Hopefully she won’t call social services on them. 😕
And speaking of babies...
Daisy Mae: “Baby, I think I’m knocked up again.”
Cory: “Are you sure? Maybe you just ate some bad pizza! It was a coupla days old...”
