Pretty much, as soon as Haruo and River and the rest of the family got home from Shang Sim La, evidently, the crocodiles started making their presence known. He had caught six before they had left for Shang Sim La and well, unfortunately, living in a Sims's pocket probably wasn't the best environment for them. (Just how big are those pockets anyways?) and they started getting antsy (and probably nippy too). Which meant that Haruo had to dispose of said crocodiles or at least one of them (probably the most nippy one) at the Science Center). So long, Cranky.
Yasunobu, in the morning, went back out to work in the garden. He's busy perfecting those Perfect vegetables and fruits. And gardening seemed to be quite the relaxing pastime for him.
Haruo, surprisingly, hadn't lost his leg due to crocodile bites and went out in his underwear, playing the violin (OMG, if it wasn't the Sims...(what a sentence)). No, the Watcher didn't drop a lightning bolt on him this time:
1. He was out in the backyard, meaning no traumatized neighbours.
2. He's now Level 7 in violin skill, meaning that what he plays doesn't sound like a cat being dissected by a Skilsaw.
3. He played some Bach...and that usually mollifies the Watcher.
4. His violin playing evidently keeps the cows happy and producing milk. (well had to explain why I posted up the picture of the hind-quarters of a TS3 cow...)
Fair enough?
Toshiyuki seemed to be quite handy with the jetpack and managed to make it to the grocery store to sell off some of his surplus fish stock and grab some links, steak, chicken and roast without impacting terra firma head first in a rather painful imitation of a drill. He's doing well with the jet-pack, at least far better than Satoshi ever did. You go, guy.
River went out and sold another one of her paintings for a substantial gain, which more than paid off the vacation that they had just had. She was now raking in over §40K per individual commissioned painting. And that's a lot of simoleons. Of course their bills on the house (taxes and utilities) were well over §40,000 a week, so she had to sell at least two commissioned paintings (large) to meet the bills and keep them in a positive cash flow rate. Of course, it helped that Yasunobu tended to like to break space rocks and make a mess of the martial arts training room so that Haruo had to keep selling the family jewels. (jewels come from rocks...OK...fine...I'll stop that train of thought... just had to go there, didn't I?)
Even though Susan was a Level 10 Mad Scientist in her science career, she still had to keep her ratings satisfactory to the big boss man or woman and well, she had to get her gardening and fishing up to standards; that meant going out and fertilizing the garden with freshly caught fish. Well, it was a way to get rid of the jelly fish that kept popping up on the line.
Haruo played some more violin in the living room, this time in attire somewhat more suitable as it was just after he'd broken some space-rocks downstairs.
...and Toshiyuki decided to work on his LTW of Descendant of Da Vinci by doing some inventing at the inventing table (He's already mastered Painting and Sculpting; now he has to master the Inventing skill). At least he hasn't set himself on fire...YET.
...which is a good thing that considering Funioki (who was already a ghost) and Satoshi dying of ranting about Death...well, the Chikamori family can't afford to lose yet another brother or poor Yasunobu will be all alone.
