This will be the last update on the VPC for a while. I'm ready to move on to another challenge: The Hollywood Challenge!
Poor #1 Stanbury: Current household members are: Faith (Gen 1 Founder - elder), Thomas & Joy (Gen 2 Heir/Wife - adults), Robert (Gen 3 Heir - child), Damon (Gen 3 - child), Toby (Gen 3 - toddler), and James (Gen 3 - baby). Joy is pregnant with baby #5. Robert Sr. sadly passed away since last update. As you can see from this household, the boy/girl ratio is once again very skewed. The current tally is 22 boys/14 girls and with the added complication of a lot of the kids being cousins to each other it should make for an interesting time pairing them up. Faith will not be with us much longer either and she will likely push the family over the balance needed to level up when she dies. Household bank balance is $43,364/$50,000.
Poor #2 Vacant
Poor #3 Baldwin: Current household members are: Hart & Josie (Gen 2 Heir/Wife - adults). Josie is pregnant with baby #1. You heard right folks, Hart is FINALLY married! He wasted no time falling in love with Josie once she became an adult. A diamond ring and it was done. He also managed to find a new job in Law Enforcement which is actually better than Business because there's no cap. Things are definitely looking up! Household bank balance is $26,320/$50,000.
Poor #4 Hopkins: Current household members are: Henry & Alice (Gen 2 - adults), Adelaide (Gen 3 - child), and Herman (Gen 3 Heir - toddler). Alice is pregnant with baby #3. Nothing particularly exciting has been happening here. Henry isn't keen on skilling so he hasn't been promoted. Alice is pretty run down, but that's normal. Household bank balance is $2057/$50,000.
Sub Farm #1 Godwin: Current household members are: Jasper (Gen 1 Founder - elder), Silas & Matilda (Gen 2 Heir/Wife - adults), Adolph (Gen 3 Heir - teen), Amelia (Gen 3 - child), Lucius (Gen 3 - child), Emil (Gen 3 - toddler), and Addie (Gen 3 - toddler). This family is pretty chaotic most of the time, especially since the birth of the twins. Despite being 71, Jasper still works hard on the farm every day. Right now it's mostly caring for fruit trees and getting the fertilizing done in preparation for the Spring planting, but still. Matilda has earned a silver sewing badge, so she's doing her part as well. They still haven't managed to save much however. Household bank balance is $14,896/$50,000.
Sub Farm #2 Godwin: Current household members are: Oliver & Louise (Gen 2 - adults) and Quentin (Gen 3 Heir - baby). Since the Whitlocks leveled up to Trade, their old house became available for a new family. I had originally expected Oliver to marry Olivia, however some drama ensued during a social event and long story short: Oliver fell in love with Olivia, Olivia flirted with someone else, Oliver fell out of love with Olivia, Oliver immediately flirted with/fell in love with Louise. Louise doesn't seem to mind being second choice. After all, she's married with a baby and another on the way and Olivia is still living at the boarding house. Household bank balance is $1341/$50,000.
Sub Farm #3 Hayward: Current household members are: Amelia (Gen 1 Founder - elder), Noah & Grace (Gen 2 Heir/Wife - adults), Abraham (Gen 3 Heir - teen), Eli (Gen 3 - teen), Solomon (Gen 3 - child), Ezra (Gen 3 - child), and Maxwell (Gen 3 - toddler). Five boys! Another example of the disproportion of males. A lot of birthdays happened, but not much else. Amelia's got one more day to live and her greatest wish is to have another grandchild. She currently has 17, but it's possible she might get to add one or two more before she passes on. Household bank balance is $17,291/$50,000.
Sub Farm #4 Hayward: Current household members are: Levi & Elizabeth (Gen 2 - adults), James (Gen 3 Heir - adult), John (Gen 3 - teen), Anna (Gen 3 - child), Moses (Gen 3 - child), and Matthew (Gen 3 - toddler). Elizabeth is pregnant with baby #6. Here we have a dilemma. James is now old enough to get married and start his own family, however his household is full and his parents are still young enough to have several more children. I'm not sure whether I should continue to focus on expanding Gen 3 or move on to working on Gen 4. I guess for the time being I'll just carry on with Levi & Liz and wait to see if James hits it off with anyone. When and if he finds someone, we'll see what happens. Household bank balance is $3456/$50,000.
Sub Farm #5 Godwin: Current household members are: Emory & Caroline (Gen 2 - adults), Grace (Gen 3 - teen), Louise (Gen 3 - child), Georgianna (Gen 3 - child), Hardy (Gen 3 Heir - child), and Emmett (Gen 3 - toddler). Caroline is pregnant with baby #6. Thankfully with the twins out of diapers, life is a bit easier for Caroline. Now if the kids would just keep their grades up...sigh. Household bank balance is $1732/$50,000.
Sub Farm #6 Hayward: Current household members are: Curtis & Charlotte (Gen 2 - adults), Victoria (Gen 3 - toddler), and Justine (Gen 3 - baby). Charlotte is pregnant with baby #3. Still looking for that heir and money is very tight. Curtis spends most of his time fishing since there isn't much gardening to do as Winter approaches. Hopefully he'll be able to put enough fish away to get them through until Spring arrives. Household bank balance is $902/$50,000.
Sub Farm #7 Godwin: Current household members are: Finn & Violet (Gen 2 - adults) and Declan (Gen 3 Heir - toddler). Violet is pregnant with baby #2. This family is doing quite well for just starting out. Finn has been working on getting that Fall harvest in before Winter hits. Household bank balance is $1758/$50,000.
Sub Farm #8 Hayward: Current household members are: Julian & Esme (Gen 2 - adults). Esme is pregnant with baby #1. This is a new couple just starting out. Apart from the usual (quit jobs, get married, get pregnant) they spent most of their time fishing. Since they won't have time to plant anything and probably not even enough time for the trees to bear fruit, they need to make sure they're fed through the Winter and Spring while they wait for their first harvest. Unfortunately they're not very good at fishing and only caught boots. Well at least they can sell those, lol. Better luck next round guys. Household bank balance is $2030/$50,000.
Trade #1 Hopkins: Current household members are: Simon & Elsie (Gen 1 Founders - elders), Nathaniel & Johanna (Gen 2 Heir/Wife - adults), Leila (Gen 3 - child), Eve (Gen 3 - child), and Olivia (Gen 3 - toddler). Johanna is pregnant with baby #4. Simon and Elsie were both perma-plat when they aged to elder and it looks like they're shooting for 80+ days. Neither is even close to dying at age 71. This is both good and bad. On the one hand, Elsie has a higher flower badge than Johanna, plus she doesn't have to deal with constant pregnancy, and more hands to help out is always useful. On the other hand if baby #4 is a girl, Nathaniel and Johanna will be without an heir and unable to try again until either one of the elders dies or until Leila moves out. The rules do allow for girls to inherit in the absence of a male heir, so depending on how it all works out, we might be seeing that loophole here. Household bank balance is $82/$100,000.
Trade #2 Whitlock: Current household members are: Luther (Gen 1 Founder - elder), Liam & Chastity (Gen 2 Heir/Wife - adults), Tia (Gen 3 - child), Siobhan (Gen 3 - child), Oliver (Gen 3 Heir - toddler), and Owen (Gen 3 - baby). Chastity is pregnant with baby #5. These guys are off to a pretty good start with their toy shop. They have a little initial stock and are working on building up their craftable stock. Chastity has a silver badge so they should be in good shape. Household bank balance is $469/$100,000.
That's it guys! VPC is finished for now. We'll check back in with them later. Next update will be about the Hollywood Challenge! Happy Simming!
