Rotation #19
Now this is what I call an eventful rotation! Lots of news here!!
Which means, I'm afraid, tons of pictures
I started playing the university subhod, to which Deidre Bee moved at the same time as two townies: Murphy Holding (aka newspaper guy) and Destiny Reichert (aka Farmers Market worker who is friends with Cillian).
As soon as they set foot on the dorm, I turned them into townies again - but at least they have aged.
Deidre grew up in a terrible outfit (the vampire countess one) so I decided she could "borrow" Destiny's one, it looks much better on her and it was already avaliable in the wardrobe since Destiny had been shortly "living" there already.
The dorm has 5 bedrooms, which means that there are 4 other students living there.
The ones who moved there first were actually Murphy and Destiny - since they already existed as townies - and then two more people: Joannie McKenzie (female, lemon-skinned) and Jerald Hogg (male, boringly-skinned).
They are not the only new Sims created, for Deidre met two teachers: Prof. Kidd is an adult female, and Prof. Kerr is an elder male.
At this point there are many more potential partners for all my Sims
And, well, other than trying to reach a decent point of knowledge, Deidre spent her first rotation in college socializing.
She got along pretty well with Destiny, two blondes in the same outfit, they must have much in common
But she also tried to talk with Jerald a bit, because, you know, he's a guy
Then I moved onto the main hood.
First thing to note: there is a new newspaper guy... and he looks pretty much the same
Ray Newkirk is the name, but other than the hair color I'd say he's a clone of Murphy!
Let's talk the Bee family.
Honey got a promotion, which means a nice bonus to buy fancy new stuff.
First of all, she bought a car. No more carpooling for Honey!
They also decided to finally build that second bedroom, which - now that Deidre is in college - is all for Mark. (We'll see what happens when Deidre returns!)
Also Mark is earning his own money - he got a novel published!
Having a bedroom on his own was really worth it
Important news in the Duncan family:
Baxter has died.
Of old age, as was natural for he was the eldest of the playables. He leaves behind four children (Cillian, Cleo, Megan and Terence) and already three grandchildren, so as a founder he was pretty successful!
Life went on, with much crying and lower aspirations, but went on.
Sari rolled a want to fall in love, which means she's likely to get married again soon. (She's in very good terms with both Mark and Daniel, my playable bachelors, so they are two likely candidates.)
Cloe even got a job - she dreams of richness, not matter the career, and law enforcement seemed a reasonable choice because her mother is a policewoman and surely could help her in...
And then the Carr family, where Baxter's eldest Cillian and his wife Jaclyn struggle to raise three toddlers.
So they decided to hire a maid (her name is Kris Newson) to help them out, although they are not wealthy. We'll see if they manage this financial situation.
Cillian does most of the work attending to the children.
While Jaclyn focus mostly on Spencer (her only son), Cillian tries to juggle between them all - and that's exhausting.
Also Hank's and Trevor's aspiration meter was severily damaged by the death of grandpa Baxter - it did not hit Spencer as hard though.
And last the Garcia family, the only childless one.
They are doing fairly well, dedicating a lot of time to their hobbies:
Daniel loves sports - and plays with his friends whenever possible, although he found time for some learning too - and Alan loves painting - and now aims for creating a masterpiece.
Also Missy wrote a novel and it sold very well, which means their income increased... and they are wondering whether they ought to move out.
Not that they have A LOT of money, most likely not enough to buy a house, but since that neighbour threatened with a rent raise it might be good to leave before Monday... We'll see.
