Humble Beginnings 11/18/24

 The Andrews/Carter clan settled into their new home in the Working Class row houses I built, minus Travis who, sadly, died in prison at age 68.  The twins got jobs to help with the family's finances, and Clay and Paige continued working in Culinary (both were promoted up to host/hostess by the end of the round).  Levi began dating a girl named Lucy Do and Lily fell for Ricky Cormier.  Paige got pregnant and subsequently delivered another boy, Ethan, shortly before Ryan grew into a teen.  When the twins reached adulthood, I allowed them to take their romantic interests to Uni with them to grow them up, before moving them back home.  (I left Lucy and Ricky on the Uni lot to potentially be moved in later.)  Levi earned a $1000 scholarship for good grades, but he likely will not be using it, as his Lifetime Want is for Culinary, and he doesn't need a degree for that.  Upon returning home, he immediately found a position as a dishwasher.  Lily's LTW is for Athletic, which is allowed for Working Class, so she took a job as a team mascot.  (Btw, they both met the skill requirements for these jobs.)  Ryan also took a teen job in the Athletic career (I'm not requiring any skills for teen jobs) and his LTW is for Law, which is a bit trickier, as he'll need a University degree to work in that job.  I am going to try to send him if the family can swing the initial $1000 for his first class; he'll likely have to work his way through college on his own after that.  At the end of winter, after paying the crime syndicate and the rent/bills, the family only had enough money to give each of the twins $1000 upon moving out, which would automatically demote them to Poverty.  I decided that, since Levi wants Culinary anyway, which is allowed in Poverty, while Lily's Athletic job is not, I would have him move out with his $1000 but keep Lily in the current household.  Levi will become Poverty and move Lucy in with him (they got engaged btw) and Lily will move Ricky in here and take over the household once her parents are gone (they'll both become elders next round).  As of the end of winter, they have $1077 and will remain Working Class.

Happy Simming!
