The Alphas (see PV 11/1/20) opened the business this round. Mostly Betty runs the shop in between crafting items, but she was being particularly difficult this time. She did not want to stay on the register (or anything else for that matter) and I had to constantly monitor her and keep cancelling "do chores" actions out of her queue. It didn't help that the butler was being completely useless at taking care of Dante, so Betty kept wanting to do that as well. Luckily it was Dante's birthday, so now he's a child who can (and will have to) take care of himself. Despite all the chaos of running the business, everyone came through it okay, though I'm starting to wonder if having the butler is really helping them or not. Next round, I plan to expand the business, converting the workroom into a salon/food section, and building a new workroom at the back. I'll also need to create a pond at some point so the Alphas can sell fish. I think I may need to start having heirs/spouses take on two crafts each though because Betty can't do everything. She already does painting, toys, and sewing, plus she takes care of running the business. Even for a Servo, that's a lot.
The Lattes (see PV 11/2/20) had a little more going on this round. I added a computer area upstairs so that if anyone gets the benefit point for "financial consulting" there will be a way to add a little spare cash to the family funds. Joy was pretty tired this round, so she didn't work a very long shift at the café, and consequently didn't bring in much money. However, in the early morning hours, she gave birth to the first baby of Gen 3 - a girl named Jocelyn. Joy and Peter got right to work on baby #2, which will be due in a few days.
Tomorrow we begin Round 4. Happy Simming!
