The Collins household was pretty calm this round. On Monday or Tuesday, Meadow came home with a promotion, which would normally be just fine, but if you'll recall, Meadow is the manager at Lei Fleur, so she shouldn't be able to get promoted higher than that. I've had this happen before in other 'hoods; it appears as though the employee career was originally intended to have more levels, but that idea was scrapped for some reason and the coding wasn't fully removed, meaning that sims who work as employees can sometimes get promoted above manager to "Unused 3" while playing their household. This is a problem when returning to the business owner's lot because the sim will no longer be controllable as the manager and the owner will have to demote them or fire and rehire them to fix the problem. Since Meadow is nearing the end of her life, I decided not to mess with all that and just have her quit at the end of the week. The other employee who works at Lei Fleur has enough badges to become manager, so Andrew will be fine without Meadow. Meadow will spend what time she has left helping Chase out with his business. Speaking of Chase's business, he got it to rank 4 (just shy of rank 5 actually) by the end of the week and hired a cashier to allow him more time to focus on painting. Since Ethan will be taking over the gallery one day, I had him get started on his pottery badge. He's already got 8 creativity points, so the painting won't be a problem, but he'll need to make his own pottery since Meadow won't be around much longer.
Two birthdays were celebrated this week: Chase joined his wife in elderhood mid-week and Raven aged up to adult near the end of the week. I had Raven invite over all the teens/adults she was friends (or very nearly friends) with for her party. Upon growing up, I checked her chemistry with the three adult men present; she has 3 bolts for Jackson Kekahi, 2 for Daniel Drew, and 1 for Andrew Wheeler. She spent most of the evening hanging out with Jackson, but no romantic interactions were performed. Andrew followed her around all night trying to interact with her, but she mostly ignored him until right at the end when he got a romantic hug in, causing them both to fall back in love. I'm not 100% sold on this match, though Andrew is clearly very determined to make it happen. Since there was only one more day left in the week, I decided to table it for now and see what happens as I play through the other households. She did roll the want to get engaged to Andrew, so I locked it in, but we'll wait to see if he also wants that. Ethan started dating Dakota Hastings during her round and they continued that this week. I actually really like them for each other, so I hope it continues once they both grow up.
Taxes for the week came to $4,552.00, bringing the total to $78,630.00.
There were no changes to stats or careers. Up next is the Centowski family. Happy Simming!
