Franklin 1/3/22

 I'm back!  Happy New Year to everyone.  I had a blast with my legacy, but now I'm on to a fairly new 'hood that still in development.  It's loosely based on the Prosperity Challenge (I think).  I started with four couples in college, who have now graduated and are living in a trailer park until they save up for better accommodations.  Some rules are still being play tested, others are incomplete - it's a work in progress.  In any event, there won't be much to report, but I'll give you as much scoop as I have.

First up is the Martinez/Molina family.  Juan Martinez has an Art degree, which qualifies him to work in Architecture, Artist, or Journalism, as well as any of the 11 jobs that don't require a degree.  He's currently working in the Gamer career at level 3.  Isabel Molina has a Drama degree, which allows her to work in Show Business or Politics, in addition to the non-degree jobs.  She is currently at level 4 in the Culinary career.  The couple is engaged and very broke.  The only piece of furniture they own is a bed.  They will hopefully be able to get married soon, though they'll need to save up for the wedding (and, you know other furniture).

Next is the Morris/Murphy family.  Paige Morris has a History degree an is working in Politics at level 2.  Her fiancé, Kevin Murphy, has a degree in Art and is at level 2 in the Journalism career.  They are equally poor, with only a bed, but they have the added financial pressure of being expectant parents already.  The baby was not planned, but they'll have to find a way to make it work because baby Morris will be arriving soon.

Next is the Nagai/Nakahara family.  Keiko Nagai has just finished her degree in Physics and has not yet found a job.  Takeo Nakahara has a Philosophy degree and is working in the Adventure career at level 1.  They are even more poor than the previous couples, since they've had trouble finding employment.  However, if Keiko can find a job in Medicine or Science, they should move up fairly quickly.

Finally, we have the Washington/White family.  Jamar Washington has an Art degree which he's putting to good use working as a level 1 Artist.  His fiancé, Lashana White, has a Psychology degree and is working in the Education career at level 2.  Not surprisingly, they are also broke, but with both of them working in their degree fields, they should get their heads above water before too long.

That's all for today.  Happy Simming!
