Yes, I did! :D And thank you, Jo, your advice worked - I waited until all the kids had gone to college and finally managed to get the Garden Club people to look over the fact that there were 9 flamingos around (Olive's 3, Fergus' 3, and the others for a moved-in sim for this gen's Ghost Hunt). It was winter, so that left the trees out of their inspection, and I had Olive talk to all the plants in the greenhouse before calling them so that they'd be as healthy as possible. The lack of trash scattered around outside and the fountain and statues did the rest. :)
Thank you! :D Indeed, it is (even if will only appear in the story around chapter 12). It's such a relief to have this part of the challenge out of the way (now, if I could also get an alien abduction soon-ish...).
Most of my sims usually stargaze the whole night unless their needs do not allow it (I've done that so far with Cody, Börje and now Fergus), so I think the start-stop method is worth a try the next time I play their house, thank you for the tip. :)
