The first three days of this week with the Hastings were about birthdays. Carolina grew into a child on Monday, Wyatt became an adult on Tuesday, and Olivia aged to teen on Wednesday. Sadly, Albert also passed away on Tuesday at the age of 70. He passed his business, Crescendo, to his son Wyatt just hours before Grim showed up. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts on Monday and Tuesday, he was unable to get the business up to rank 10. I think he was just three stars short. Wyatt took the reins on Wednesday and brought it to 10, hired a manager, and ran it remotely for the rest of the week. I took some time to think about what Wyatt wanted to do with his life. Crescendo doesn't really suit him, he can't take a job in Oceanography (his LTW) and doesn't really fit with any of the available careers, and his hobby of fitness suggests opening a gym, which I don't want to do until the Business District is open. So after much consideration, I decided to have him open a fish market, which kind of goes with the Oceanography thing. Per the rules, Oceanography is open to any sim with a gold fishing badge, which he'll certainly earn while running this shop, however I've added the requirement of a public beach, so it won't be quite as easy as that.
Michelle did quite well career-wise this week. She's in line for her final promotion early next week. Hunter struggled a bit, getting one promotion, but then a bad chance card lost him several points. As of the end of the week, he's yet to get everything he needs for his next promotion. The three teen girls (Emma, Dakota, and Olivia) rolled LTWs of Athletic, Gamer, and 5 Top Businesses, respectively. Athletic may be doable, since I've been toying with the idea of having Andrew Wheeler open a soccer stadium. Gamer is no problem, but I'm not sold on that for Dakota just yet. Olivia's LTW is intriguing because I could easily have Wyatt pass Crescendo to her and possibly the fish market as well if he gets the chance to go into Oceanography. That just leaves three more businesses, which with her hobby of cuisine, I'm thinking could be restaurants, though maybe not traditional restaurants - perhaps food stalls?
Romantically, Hunter finally met a woman he has two bolts for (Chloe Gonzaga) but since he's nearly elderhood, I don't know if I'll have him pursue it or not. If he rolls wants, definitely, but I'm not going out of my way. He's already got two kids and is very focused on his career. Wyatt greeted several ladies who walked by, one of whom was Meadow Pederson, who he met while buying groceries at Keanu's. They have two bolts and are nearly friends, so we'll see how that develops. Dakota finally made a move on best friend Ethan Collins, so they're now dating. Emma is still seeing Brady Lane, however Olivia has three bolts with him, and given that Emma and Olivia were fighting to the point of becoming enemies this round, I don't think Olivia will have any qualms about going after him. In any event, Emma will grow into adulthood next week, so it may end up being anticlimactic anyway.
The Hastings' taxes were $7,913.00, bringing the community total to $59,181.00.
