Up today is the third and final Moore family. Steven is the brother of both Daniel and Matthew. His wife is Cora and the couple has two sons, Martin and Robert. Steven runs a pottery shop, which is still a struggle for him right now. He doesn't have a very high level badge yet and tends to make a lot of "bad" pottery which no one wants to buy. On the bright side, he usually gives the failures to the king as his taxes, so at least they don't go to waste. The couple will welcome their third child next round and I'm sure Cora is hoping for a girl to help out with all the chores. We'll see!
Over at the boarding school we have the headmaster, George McMahon, and his students, Prince Arthur, Princess Gwendolyn, Cadence Nero, and Nicholas Nero. The headmaster works in the Education career, plus he gets a certain amount of tuition from each student when they arrive to keep the school up and running. Other than that he mostly just serves as a chaperone and a chef. The students attend private school, are expected to complete all homework, and contribute to keeping the house clean. Boarding school is usually a good opportunity for Royals and Nobles to meet and find potential spouses, but right now everyone is a little too closely related. Both Arthur and Nicholas are related to all the eligible Noble girls, which means Nicholas will likely choose a bride from the Merchant class, while Arthur will return home and wait for a non-relative Noble girl to be born. It may be a long while before we see the next generation of Royals.
Next up are the convents, which run the same was as the monastery. The nuns grow their own food and spend their time is quiet study. I started with only one convent, but had to start a second after all those Nero girls were born, because one just couldn't hold all the surplus women that generation. So now there are two convents, one runs the Merchant church, the other the Peasant church. Elizabeth Nero (you may remember her as the mother of all those Nero girls, who was cast off by her husband for not producing an heir) is the Mother Superior at the first convent, while Roberta Nordstrom holds that position in the other. Between the two, there are a total of 11 nuns in residence.
Finally, we have the first Peasant family: the Potters. The patriarch of the Potter family, Joshua, is amazingly still alive and well. His oldest son Henry is now the head of household though. Henry is married to Diana and the couple welcomed their third son this round (Donald, Miles, and Oscar). They will have their fourth child next round. With both Joshua and Henry working, the Potters aren't doing too badly, but they'll be running out of beds in the near future.
That was a lot for one day! Up next: the Petersons. Happy Simming!
