Your pets are cute, your sims a cute, and a wonderfull look on Maja, glad you kept the tatoo 
You are tackling 2 hard aspirations at once, really good going there.
@LenaLJ Maja is such a lovely sim! I really enjoyed dressing her up.
The combination of Jungle Explorer with Best-Selling Author and Friend of the Animals was not a very smart idea at all.
Thankfully, Jungle Explorer is behind us but I'm still tempted to send Hakuto back to complete the rare treasures collection. We're missing 4 pieces.
*whistles* Yeah, Edamame, obsessing over a pet for hours can be a bit crazy. 
I hate those bats man!! They drive me nuts.
Every time I take my sims from my test play file when we first JA, all they did was jump in and swim. It would drive me nuts. If one finished their tasks before I could give them another, off they went.
Hey, if you can get the sugar skull take it. Who knows, you might be lucky and get more. Complete the collection that way.
HAHAHAHA, a trash panda. Good luck training that one.
Congrats on Joke Star.
@sdhoey With high fitness and the plasma bat bait in inventory, those bats just flew right by.
In a comment, Pinstar mentioned that it didn't matter whether we selected Full Autonomy or No Autonomy, but that setting really changes our gameplay, doesn't it?
I might disable autonomy during a future temple exploration. It's really annoying when the accomplices go swimming or try to go back to the lodging for no good reason, lol.
Awww, that little raccoon is adorable! I'm starting to favor him over the dog. If it weren't for him getting stuck on counters now and then.
First, congrats to Jaga for winning the heir vote and getting the girl. I'm glad all the brothers get to stay in the house, though, since they are all great.
Good idea to adopt a raccoon to train out bad pet behaviors. I think it's funny that Ragnar learned not to jump on counters four times already. Whatever it takes, right?
@BallerinaHippo I'm also glad that all three brothers could stay! That little raccoon is not only quite hilarious but also very useful.
In retrospect, I'm wondering if he might not have been stuck on the kitchen counters during those previous "training sessions." Poor thing!
I wish pets didn't count as household members. I'd like to keep them both!
Loved the title. Rocky Raccoon is quite the under-appreciated song ;=)
Excellent progress being made! Of course, Edamame's progress on hunting for spouse options for her other boys was also fantastic!
Randomly being able to get a sugar skull when it wasn't the time seemed like a neat way to get a random head start on a collection. Of course, I had that random moment of Day of the Dead celebrants showing up for no reason, so maybe the skulls have just forced their way into the game even when they're out-of-season? Weird.
Looking forward to Jaga and Maja's relationship developing as the story moves forward :=)
@PeregrineTook I can always count on you to catch my puns and references.
Haha, thank you for reminding me about spouse options. She needs to follow-up on all the young ladies she's met so far.
The random sugar skull surprised as did finding Magic Beans in the rare seed packets. But the Magic Beans are quite useless without their tree stump.
Seems like Gen4 has so much to do! Perhaps because Gen3 had all those babies and we still have so many careers to complete.
I'm very eager to see Jaga and Maja's nooboos, but we're not moving anyone out just yet.
And thanks for the moral support about post-patch/post-Seasons bugs. I spent several days troubleshooting and now things are no worse than they usually are, lol.
