First up in the rotation is always Uni. I only have one student there at the moment and I really don't enjoy Uni that much so I generally play through it as fast as possible. The only reason for even sending sims to Uni in this challenge is so they can later have jobs in Art or Show Business, so I'm not really going to post about the sims in Uni other than to mention them in their family's post. That being said, the first regular family in the rotation is...
The Burkes! Nicholas Burke is a 1* celebrity. He is 55 days old, has a job in the Science career, has achieved the hourly requirement to level up (he mostly does bartending and barista), but has yet to meet the friend or money requirements. His wife, Lexie, is a non-celeb. She is also 55 days old and works in the Oceanography career. The couple has two children: Rachel, who is a teen, but heading off to Uni this round, and Michael, who is a child (6 days to teen). Since I make sims pay for both private school and college, the Burkes have already shelled out $20,000 in private school fees and will be facing a $25,000 bill for Rachel's tuition as well.
Faith Pederson is a 1* celebrity. She is 55 days old, has a job in Journalism, has achieved the hourly requirement (mostly barista) and the friend requirement, but is still working on saving enough money. Her husband, Neil, is a non-celeb who works in the Athletic career and is also 55 days old. They have two children: Nolan, a young adult who left for Uni last round, and Kaitlyn, a child (4 days to teen). The Pedersons have struggled with money quite a bit. They've had a number of financial setbacks (bad chance cards mostly) and paid for two private school educations. Now they're in debt for Nolan's college tuition also. Luckily, Nolan is helping pay some of the tuition. However, at the rate they're going, I doubt they'll level up.
Sydney Drake is a 1* celebrity, who is 23 days to elder and is working in the Culinary career. She hasn't achieved any of the requirements to level up yet, but she's working hard doing personal training in the mornings and then working as a dish washer in the evenings. She is still single, spending most of her time focusing on her career goals.
Dante and Jocelyn Silver are newlyweds. They are 1* celebrities who are both 23 days to elder. Jocelyn works in the Science career and is a barista on the side. Dante prefers to focus all his attention on his craft and spends his time freestyling for tips. They don't have any children yet, but are in agreement that they'd like to have two someday. For now, they're working to fulfill the requirements needed to level up.
Brandi Karr is a 2* celebrity. She is 55 days old, works in the Music career (which is one of 5 allowable careers for 2* celebs), and has not met any of the requirements for leveling up yet, but is doing quite well considering she only recently reached level 2. Aside from her Music job, she also does dj-ing at the club. Brandi's wife, Elise, is also 55 days old. She's a non-celeb who works in the Slacker career. They have one daughter, Caryl, who is a teen (13 days to adult). Brandi recently got a large bonus (chance card) which paid for Caryl's private school with quite a bit left over. Considering the Karrs have also recently moved to a new apartment (a condition of leveling up) they are doing amazingly well. It's possible they might reach 3* in Brandi's lifetime.
The Sanders were promoted to 2* just last round. They are both 55 days old. Samantha has been working in Culinary up until now and tending bar on the side. However, since 2* celebs are only allowed jobs in Artist, Entertainment, Show Business, Music, or Dance (modified from the original rule allowing only Entertainment, Show Business, or Politics) she will be retiring from Culinary and looking for an elder job in one of the acceptable careers. In addition, she will write novels (probably cookbooks) for her celeb hours. Her husband, Justyn, was fired several rounds ago, so rather than go the traditional job route, he will stick with just doing celeb work as he has been doing, except he will switch to a 2* job. The only jobs available to him at this time are dj and hair/makeup artist. Since I've already got someone dj-ing I think I'll have him become a makeup artist, which will require him to go to a community lot and perform makeovers for five hours per day. The Sanders have two children: Savannah, who is leaving for Uni this round, and Brooke, who is a child (6 days to teen). Both Samantha and Justyn have most of the hours they need already, so they will primarily be looking to gain friends and money.
Those are all the families I have at present. Obviously the town will grow as time passes. I still have many community lots to build and many houses/apartment buildings that need to be added, but I'm trying to grow the town gradually and as needed. Until next time, Happy Simming!
