To help alleviate her grief, Arwen packs on the PDA (is it really PDA if it's in their house?) with Molly.


The relief is only temporary, though, and Arwen has to find a quiet place to be alone.

He is certainly less goofy looking than August.


Poor misguided Molly. She thought that a spur-of-the-moment proposal would make things a little bit better but, unfortunately, Arwen is just too sad to think of anything good at the moment.


Just work off that disappointment, girl, you'll be fine. I know this for a fact.


Okay, ouch.


Woah, woah, woah. What's this?! I like to think that losing her mother has made Arwen even more aware of what she wants in life and what is most important to her, even if she had to fight past the grief to find it.


Molly isn't at all upset by the fact that she literally just tried to propose, like, one day prior.


I'm also going with the story that Erick let Arwin use Helena's ring - even though Helena proposed to him and therefore she didn't start off with an actual engagement ring. Don't point out the holes in my story, dear reader(s).


Oh, these two, just swept up in love and excitement. I sense good things to come out of this couple.


With Helena gone, Erick has turned to his furry friend for some laundry room cuddles.


I have no idea where this contraption came from or why it is needed for a simple home garden but, okay, Erick's dedication to Helena's hobbies is really touching.


August is feeling understandably sad after his mother's death.


Erick is, as always, there to console him.


This girl is everything. I wish I had her confidence, her poise. I want to be her best friend.


Adrian is trying to make some cool friends of his own.


And also getting closer to his older brother. Those camo shorts are a choice, Adrian. One I don't approve of.


Yogi has came back to watch everyone sleep again. Or watch the walls. I'm not sure.


Oh, crap. Erick's sick and I swear if he starts a household epidemic, I'm going to lose it.

I literally can't stop staring at his muscles. How is this possible? He's so fit. This is horrible.


I don't know what Adrian is all riled up about but he needs to calm down. I bet it has to do with the impending sickness wave that is about to spread all through the house.

See the following for evidence of said epidemic:



Thanks a lot, Erick.


Soon enough, though, Arwen is back to normal and playing in trash piles, as one does.


Helena has only been gone for a little while and it's not like Adrian is a helpless child but Arwen stepping up and making sure he is protected at school. So cute. She will always look after her little brother.


When I forget to change outfits or am just too lazy to so I have Molly going out for a jog in this lovely combination.


Her mother's gone and she's newly engaged and Arwen just feels like their is no older woman in her life that she can talk to and share her excitement with.


But wait! Rhea invited these two over for a little bit of gossip and... dish washing, apparently?


And here's Erick, back at it again with the weeding. He's just so good.


Arwen definitely perked up a little bit because there is some lovin' going on under those covers!


I was having this issue where my Sims always wore clothes as their "naked" outfit and I just figured out how to fix it, like, two days ago, and I wanted you all to know that I am still learning so much about this game! Also, I've downloaded so many tiny mods that make the game that much better, it's unreal. Just the simplest things that you would never think of but that make Sim life so much easier. Wow. Mods are incredible.
