I think the gifts from coworkers is just a Bigfoot thing. I'd never seen it before I had a Sim bring Bigfoot home for the first time.

I think I came up with adding 'ghost' to the monster mash bonus because I was thinking I'd have to put up with an immortal (and slightly annoying monster) sim for the rest of the challenge. And having them become a ghost really makes sense!

I'm hoping to get this challenge done later in November! This time of year is so busy but I really need to finish this before next year. :P Thanks for the comments! Glad you were able to catch up! :)
