Lot #4 is owned by Meadow Thayer, a former townie who works as the manager at Lei Fleur. She has a bungalow style house right on the beach. As of this round, Meadow was crushing on two different men, so I had her invite them both over a couple of times to see which she would choose. One of the guys, Neil Cameron, left immediately each time he was invited. Consequently, the other guy, Chase Collins, won Meadow's heart by default, even though she has more chemistry with Neil. Snooze you lose, right? Meadow moved Chase in towards the end of the week and they got married on the weekend, when she had the day off from work. They've also decided to start their family right away and will be expecting their first bundle of joy early next round.
Since Meadow doesn't own a business herself, I decided to have Chase open one. I like to try to choose businesses that suit the sim in some way, but also work towards the challenge goals. Chase is a Knowledge sim whose one true hobby is arts and crafts. He and Meadow don't have much money and they'll need to expand the house once the baby arrives, so I wanted something inexpensive to start up, so that he could get started fairly quickly. I decided on a roadside stand that sells artwork; Chase can paint and Meadow can contribute some pottery as well, since she has a silver badge. This will loosely fit the description of an "art gallery" needed to unlock a position in the Artist career, though I'm aware that I keep unlocking careers that sims can't take anyway due to the lack of a University lol. In any event, I like to build lots in the base 'hood that I feel fit the flavor of the town (things like clubs and gyms can go in the Business District or Downtown when they are unlocked) and I'm sure the gallery will evolve into a more traditional format sometime down the line anyway so it's all good. I should note, however, that Chase has not actually purchased the lot yet, so it will not appear in the stats until he does.
The Collins family paid $1,756.00 in taxes, which included back taxes from last round as well as current taxes (yes, I make them pay back taxes if they can't afford their tax bill and yes, they pay interest on the unpaid amount as well), which brings the community funds total to $44,409.00.
