Sub Farm #9 Whitlock: Current household members are: Conrad & Claudia (Gen 2 - adults), Henry (Gen 3 Heir - child), and Virginia (Gen 3 - toddler). Claudia is pregnant with #3. Not much to report here. Both Conrad and Claudia are working almost round the clock to keep up with the farm, the household and the kids. Conrad is also fishing as much as possible to bring in extra cash for purchasing needed furniture. They haven't yet been able to afford to buy any sort of bench, so that Claudia can also bring in some income. Household bank balance is $48/$50,000.
Sub Farm #10 Godwin: Current household members are: Lee & Bess (Gen 2 - adults) and Susan (Gen 3 - toddler). Bess is expecting their second child. Lee's crop is looking good and he's been able to fish enough to supplement the family finances so that they can gradually add things to the farm or the house. They'll soon need a bed for Susan, so they're trying not to let their money get too low. Possibly when the harvest comes in Fall, he'll be able to afford three more fruit trees as well. Household bank balance is $274/$50,000.
Trade #1 Hopkins: Current household members are: Nathaniel & Johanna (Gen 2 Heir/Wife - elder/adult), Elsa (Gen 3 - teen), Andrew (Gen 3 Heir - child), Hannah (Gen 3 - toddler), Cecilia (Gen 3 - toddler), Zachary (Gen 3 - toddler), and Wesley (Gen 3 - baby). Elsie finally passed on at the age of 82, Eve and Olivia moved out, and though Johanna is still technically able to conceive, there won't be room in the household until Elsa leaves home, at which point Johanna will be too old. Long story short, Wesley will be the last baby. Fun fact: none of those toddlers are twins!! Johanna just decided to make the most of the time bug and have them all one day apart. In other news, the time bug makes running a home business an absolute nightmare. The customers come in, look at an item for a few seconds, then drop the interaction and just hang out all day chatting or playing catch amongst themselves. They never buy anything. Consequently, Nathaniel has a fully stocked shop and no way to earn a living. So, I've had to make some adjustments. I still have Nathaniel open the shop every day and do any "May I help you?" interactions that he can. Since his wholesale perks are now all but useless, I allowed him to take the first two cash perks, and if he achieves rank 10 (which is unlikely because if there's a fight or a fire, customers lose like a million stars in ten seconds) I'll let him take the third one. Other than that, I've got Johanna parked at the flower station all day and night, making snapdragons which I sell directly from inventory. I think this will counteract Nathaniel's inability to make any sales and eventually they'll be able to rank up. Still holding out hope that the bug will fix itself, as it did in a previous household. Fingers crossed. Household bank balance is $49,902/$100,000.
That's it for today. Tomorrow we should be finishing up the Summer round with the remaining two Trade households. Happy Simming!
