Charles is determined to figure out the mystery of the missing fruit. Read SVD 11 to find out what he discovers.

Odd things are happening and Charles doesn’t know why. He hopes a jaunt to the library will provide some enlightenment. Does it? Read SVD 10 to find out.

The toddlers arrive with different but equally urgent needs that must be taken care of and this is just the beginning of their day together! Will Charles be on top of things or will things be on top of Charles? Read SVD 9 to find out!

Getting promoted means there are now three kids to care for. Let’s see how Charles handles the new kid on the block in SVD 8

Word-of-mouth is good when it’s about the business. Charles knows where his priorities are in SVD 7 and hopes the Sunset Valley ladies get the message. Soon!

Charles might avoid the mail carrier and sims who send love letters but he doesn’t avoid doing his duty by the children in SVD 6.

Charles has three days off!
What does he do?
Tackle chores, deal with “worry stones” and unwanted attention, of course.

Read SVD 5 to see how successful he was in his endeavors.

Time to share what’s been going on behind the scenes: I wasn’t sure I would be able to continue with this story. Glitches were adding up and the game was becoming unplayable. The workday either had no kids at all or kids being reset during daycare hours … either way resulting in no income for poor Charles. The game would also crash with zero warning so progress was lost and had to be done again. This kind of Groundhog Day I can do without, tyvm!

I didn’t want to have to say goodbye to Charles because he’s an interesting Sim. Several attempts were made before I stumbled across one that worked.

The lot and Charles have been moved to a new game folder. He’s back in business and the story can move forward again, hooray!

Screenshots from the original game and the new one have been cobbled together for several chapters and I’m really pleased with how things turned out.

The negative (glitches) turned into positive (interesting twists in the story). I hope to release the NEWEST chapter on Friday, but wanted to give you a heads up of our journey to get there.

Thanks for reading!
