Business in Daniel Moore's flower shop is booming; he is the wealthiest Merchant by far. He'll be looking to make a good marriage for his daughter Charlotte soon. With two Noble heirs coming of age, it would be a good opportunity to raise his family's status by marrying her to one of them. Once that's done, the heir Luke will be next to age up and he'll need a wife as well, though he'll likely be looking to the Peasant class for his. Their third child, Thomas, grew to teen this round and even though the family has more than enough money to send him to boarding school, they're not going to bother since the only reason to do it would be to snag the Headmaster position there. That position is not open right now, so Thomas will probably be looking to start his own household eventually. Their youngest daughter, Abigail, is only a child at the moment so it remains to be seen what her fate will be.
I want to pause here for a moment, because yesterday I came up with an idea that I'm going to put into place this round and it may require that I play another round as well. Last update it was determined that Chastity McMahon would be joining the church and I mentioned that I didn't know what I was going to do with so many girls, given that the convents are nearly full. What I came up with is creating a household of unmarried Merchant class women who will run a seamstress shop. Chastity McMahon will be the first. This gives Merchant girls another option other than the church, allowing them to continue to be available for marriage (until they reach a certain age), and preventing the churches from becoming overrun. I will still have men choose marriage candidates from private homes first (they'd want the youngest, most docile wives of course), but the girls at the seamstress shop can still hope right? I'll get Chastity settled this round, but she was already played so she won't get played for the first time until next round, which means I guess I'm playing one more round after this one.
Onward! Matthew Moore is finally able to run his bakery full-time. He's not making a ton of money just yet, but he's not doing too badly either. Now that all the kids are in school and there are no more babies on the horizon, Meredythe is able to help out a lot more; she even earned a couple more cooking points this round in order to broaden their offerings in the shop. The three older children are all teens who are bringing in extra income with their teen jobs; the youngest girl, Andrea, is not far behind.
That's all for today. Happy Simming!
