Finally, we have come back to the VPC! As the residents of Victoria's Peak approach the end of another brutal winter, it's time for an update.
Poor #1 Stanbury: Though this is still the Stanbury family, it's not the exact same Stanbury family because Thomas and Joy ranked up to Trade and Thomas' brother moved in here. Current household members are: Raymond & Marie (Gen 2 - adults). This is a newlywed couple and Marie is expecting their first child. Raymond has been living in the workhouse for quite some time and Marie (formerly Hopkins) was in the girls' home for even longer, but they finally connected with each other. Hopefully an heir will be born right away, as Marie doesn't have too many childbearing years left. In fact, I was on the verge of deciding she was too old to be viable marriage material when this romance happened. Household bank balance is $398/$50,000.
Poor #2 Vacant
Poor #3 Baldwin: Current household members are: Hart & Josie (Gen 2 Heir/Wife - adults), and Lucy (Gen 3 - toddler). Josie is pregnant with baby #2. Hart has earned a promotion or two over the winter and Josie has taken up pottery for supplemental income. No heir just yet, but Josie is very young and has plenty of childbearing years ahead of her, so it's only a matter of time. Household bank balance is $34,005/$50,000.
Poor #4 Hopkins: Current household members are: Henry & Alice (Gen 2 - adults), Adelaide (Gen 3 - child), Herman (Gen 3 Heir - child), Julian (Gen 3 - toddler), and Rose (Gen 3 - baby). Alice had some trouble getting pregnant for the fifth time (who wouldn't?), but she is now expecting again. Despite unlimited earning in the Military career, Henry isn't keen on skilling, so he hasn't earned a promotion in quite a while. He does, however, make a fairly good wage and so was able to buy a toy bench so that Alice can make some money in her "spare" (lol) time. You know, when she's not changing diapers, cooking, cleaning, or trying not to starve to death in her perpetual state of pregnancy. Household bank balance is $2731/$50,000.
That's it for today. Tomorrow we'll begin the long haul that is the Subsistence Farmers. Happy Simming!
