Victorian Population Challenge 3/12/22

 Sub Farm #8 Hayward:  Current household members are: Julian & Esme (Gen 2 - adults), Saul (Gen 3 Heir - child), Dana (Gen 3 - toddler), and Julia (Gen 3 - baby).  Esme is expecting #4.  Having the heir first, followed by several girls is a good formula for subsistence farmers.  Saul is old enough now to help his father with the farm work and build his gardening badge, while the girls are not too far behind and will soon be able to help out their mother with the household chores and subsequent children.  Also, the heir and the oldest child being one in the same means only one child will be prohibited from having a job as a teen.  Julian and Esme are off to a good start.  Household bank balance is $516/$50,000.

Sub Farm #9 Whitlock:  Current household members are: Conrad & Claudia (Gen 2 - adults) and Henry (Gen 3 Heir - baby).  Claudia is pregnant with their second child.  Conrad and Claudia just got married in Spring.  They've got a good crop going and they already have their heir, so they're off to a good start.  Not much money yet, but it'll come.  Household bank balance is $185/$50,000.

Sub Farm #10 Godwin:  Current household members are: Lee & Bess (Gen 2 - adults).  Bess is pregnant with their first child.  Lee and Bess are newlyweds just starting out, but with a slight advantage, as Bess was formerly Trade class and, therefore, came into the marriage with a dowry.  Since they only got married at the very end of Spring, they'll wait until Summer to plant.  In the meantime, the extra cash was put to good use expanding the garden plots and purchasing some ladybug houses.  Household bank balance is $1275/$50,000.

Trade #1 Hopkins:  Current household members are: Elsie (Gen 1 Founder - elder), Nathaniel & Johanna (Gen 2 Heir/Wife - adults), Eve (Gen 3 - teen), Olivia (Gen 3 - teen), Elsa (Gen 3 - child), and Andrew (Gen 3 Heir - toddler).  Leila moved out and Johanna is pregnant with baby #6.  Elsie is still alive y'all!  She's 81 now, with just a sliver left on her life bar, so I think she's got one more day, but at least she's lived long enough to see the heir born finally.  She'll die one happy lady.  In other news, the household became infected with the slow time bug about halfway through the last day I played.  I'm sure that'll make running the shop loads of fun.  Household bank balance is $30,456/$100,000.

Just two more Trade families to get through and we'll on to the Summer season.  Happy Simming!
