As you saw at the end of the week 2 post, thanks to game mechanics the final outer shell of the house was completed. Finishing touches like interior floors & 1st floor layout need to be finalized along with doors, columns, and the rest of the windows. Along with some trim embellishments. The first addition to happen during the week was the half bath on the first floor, or more to the point the walls for it. Week 3, or the winter season if you will, was a very busy time period for the household. It was much more than work & school which kept everyone busy. There was Snowflake day, and per Janina's request a few friends were invited over to celebrate. In addition to the usual small gifts, there was a new toilet and sink for the half bath, and a guitar for Olivia. After their friends had gone home it was time for Janina and John to celebrate their transition to young adult. When they were done they refiled with their employers for the full time adult job openings. Thanks to her hard work as a teen patrol assistant Janina was immediately promoted to Patrol Officer. John wasn't as lucky, because he'd only been at the lab a few days. Friday the elder twins were asked if they wanted to wait a few days or graduate right away. They chose right away. After the ceremony John swung by the library for a few hours, and Janina jogged around town, after deciding the park was to crowded. Saturday brought another set of birthday transitions as Pamela and Paul reached maturity. Surprisingly Pamela expressed an interest in music and joined the theater, whereas shy Paul discussed getting married and moving out with his high school sweetheart. They'd declared their love at prom the night before. That evening as they celebrated Kathy's transition to mature adult, their uncles work crew showed up unannounced*, and added what were deemed essential finishing touches as the last of winters snow melted away, and the first warm breezes of spring drifted into the valley. Kathy had reached the conclusion that there was far more to life than just living in the lap of luxury, even spoiled Pamela had figured that out and had gotten herself a guitar for her birthday. (* Another game mechanic cash drop.) Janina took note of how many additional supplies were brought in for the houses appearance, and swore that she would learn her uncles source and find their parents. Outside ground changes: stone fence with Celtic design replaced the wooden fence on both sides, plus partially along the front of the property; trash can and mailbox were swapped for their Dragon Valley counterparts, columns were moo'd into place. Structure changes: Windows - 1st floor, basement, and some additional ones for the second floor; Entry doors were replaced, stairs to the first floor were updated along with their rails, a gate was moo'd into place for the porch as additional entry/exit point. Kitchen received one full wall blocking view from the front door, along with a rearrangement of counters. Their is also a dishwasher & trash compactor in the kitchen, along with a food processor to round out appliances. Over on the living room side some additional walling was added formally separating the office from the living room. The bathrooms received stone-tiled flooring, Kitchen and entry also received stone flooring, while the rest of the first and second floor received nice wood flooring. All interior & exterior walls received their final treatments. Remaining work for the renovation: lights, decoration, upgrade the kitchen, upgrade furnishings, finish furnishing the bedrooms. Get as many fixtures upgraded to self cleaning as possible. Unpack the chess set received on snowflake day. Get Pamela to be friends with family and Kathy. Approximately 7 sim days until Olivia's final transition from teen to young adult. This is why Paul is leaving home, he tried hitting on his nanny.
Sorry but no**, especially as he has a high friendship with heart score for one of his classmates who matured right about the same time he did. (** Sometimes it can make for an interesting story, but he had already made a love connection at prom.)
