Hollywood Challenge 12/30/18

Faith Pederson got promoted and it will likely be her last promotion as she'll be reaching retirement age (65) next round.  It'll be just in time for Kaitlyn to leave for Uni as well, meaning they'll be gaining a large debt and losing a significant portion of income at the same time.  Fun!  I was very excited for Sydney Drake and Andrea to get married next round until I realized Sydney has what I call the "phantom marriage" glitch where the game thinks she's engaged or married to someone who is not even in her relationship panel and therefore she cannot get engaged/married to anyone else.  I've had this glitch a few times before and so I know that killing and resurrecting Sydney will likely not break the marriage so it looks like Sydney will have to remain technically single for life.  Usually I don't allow unmarried couples to adopt because the children will only count one parent as family, but this is a special circumstance, so I'm going to allow it.  They're not ready for kids yet anyway.  They want to wait a while and after that there will be the adoption waiting period that I impose on them in this challenge, so it'll be a good long while before that happens.  The Silvers had a relaxing day at home with their new baby.  Jocelyn had the day off from work, though she did do a barista shift in the afternoon.  She is still blissfully unaware that her husband is having an affair with (newly married) Savannah Pederson.  That's right, Nolan and Savannah tied the knot as scheduled.  They are not planning to wait long to have the one and only child Savannah will agree to (I guess she wants to get it over with?), so if things go south we could have multiple confused nooboos wondering what happened to their parents' marriages so soon after their births?  Rachel Burke finally made her move on Drake, they fell in love, and she moved him in.  He wasted no time in getting a job in Science.  They're a fairly good match, both neat, shy, and serious.  Only big difference is that she wants 7 kids and he only wants 2.  Caryl Karr is off to a bit of a rocky start.  She decided to just do freestyling, no day job.  Unfortunately she apparently stinks at freestyling?  She made no money in 4 hours.  Sad.  Brandi and Elise Karr both had the day off, so the only income was Brandi's dj-ing.  They were able to pay off the last of the Uni debt, so that was good.  Unfortunately they'll both be retiring next round, which means even if they get elder jobs, their income will diminish greatly.  It's going to make it much tougher to save up the needed cash to level up.  The Sanders had an uneventful Sunday.  Justyn did makeovers and didn't mess up anyone's face, Samantha worked on her latest cookbook and went to work, and Brooke maxed her logic skill by playing chess with old people.  The Burkes were also uneventful.  Nicholas did his yoga class and spent some time playing chess, Lexie and Michael have both been on health kicks, working out on the exercise bike and jogging.
