There are quite a few changes to report for the De Lucas. First the businesses. At Comandgo, Frida Kristensen unceremoniously quit because her pay dipped to underpaid for about 5 seconds. Matteo was unfazed as he has a waiting list of unemployed sims looking for work. He filled Frida's stylist position with Reilly Flanagan, Fiona's son, so now mother and son will work side by side. As a side note, I've noticed that every 2 to 3 sim days that the businesses are played all employees drop to "underpaid" simultaneously. I know that individual sims' pay will drop after they earn a skill point or a badge, but for them all to drop at once must mean there's some sort of time limit as well. Like after a sim has worked a certain number of hours they're due for a raise or something. I'd never noticed that before. Anyway, back to Matteo. Over at Fresh Rush he found himself with no managers, after having had two last round, because both of them died. Since Miki had also been running the deli, he needed a new employee to fill her spot and ended up hiring teen Jelani Dimir. Red's has been running smoothly with Kala as the manager, so Matteo hasn't needed to go in for a while; he just checks in daily and waits for his profits to roll in at midnight. When Comandgo leveled up to rank 4, Matteo took a money perk, giving him enough cash to purchase Pepe's Pets. It's a small shop so it won't add too many new jobs, but it's something different. Matteo ran the shop for the first day by himself, but at the end of the day he hired Lulu Nazari as the cashier. Next round I plan for him to hire a stocker and a janitor. Eventually there will also be a manager. On the personal side of things, both Matteo's "uncles" died, his son Leo aged up to adult, and his wife Helena's life bar is very full despite her being just over 60, so it looks like next round will be her last. Matteo still has another round or two before he becomes an elder, but when he does he'll be handing the reins over to his son.
Kala Akina's Spring started on a Sunday and, much to my surprise, she rolled a want for a date with Jamil Nazari. She hasn't had any wants for him for quite a while, so I thought she'd given up on him, but I guess a girl gets lonely. Their date was a dream date, but right before the date ended Jamil rolled the want to marry Kala AND the want to marry Frida. I was tempted to have him leave Frida and marry Kala, but I don't think Jamil, gold digger that he is, would pass up the opportunity to marry Frida, especially now that she's an elder and he'll get more money when she dies if he's her husband. So I locked the want to marry Frida and we'll deal with that when I get to their household. And so Kala remains alone, in love with a man who may never choose her and kept apart from a man who could love her back because their parents are married. It's sad really.
Happy Simming!
