Kayla Harris was even more successful than I expected after becoming Homeless. On the first day of summer a townie offered to set her up on a blind date. She and Amar Wong were so compatible that he moved in the very next day, bringing $6000 with him. Amar also had a job in Criminal at level 6, which I was very excited about, since I've never had anyone get that high so far. (Per the rules, if a townie has a job upon move in and they possess the qualifications needed to have that job, they can keep it. I'm thinking of amending the rules to specifically allow playable sims who get demoted {to Homeless} to also keep jobs they've already obtained. I don't think I addressed that, but it stands to reason that they wouldn't have to quit their job just because they were demoted to a lower class.) Unfortunately, he got fired from a bad chance card on his very first day of work, so he didn't even bring home a paycheck. In any event, they had enough money to add some useful items to the lot - a chess table, an easel, and they expanded the garden plot to four plots. They will be leaving these items when they move out, for the benefit of other down-on-their-luck sims in the future. Other events included Simon growing into a teen and Kayla and Amar having a baby, Ajay, who became a toddler by the end of summer. Amar also reached 8 creativity points, which allowed him to sell paintings for income. By the end of the round, this family has saved $6942, which means they'll be promoted directly to Working Class.
Ryan Carter and Michelle Tang shared a dorm at University. Ryan worked in Military while studying for a degree in Law. Michelle was able to focus completely on her Medical studies without needing a job, as her parents had given her $5000 in living expenses. By the end of summer, Michelle had finished her coursework and nearly finished her thesis, so she decided to move back home and complete her thesis online, so that she can get married to her fiancé Korey Welsh. Ryan finished his coursework but has only just begun to work on his thesis, so he'll remain here another week, as he'll be starting his own household after school, and it would be a good idea to save up as much money as possible first.
Dalton and Danielle Duncan did amazingly well this summer. Dalton received two bonuses at work, one for $10,000 and the other for $20,000. In addition, one of his contacts helped him get a promotion above his skill level; he's now a Restauranteur. Danielle is still working in Slacker, having not been able to find a job in her LTW of Culinary, but she did earn a promotion and deliver an adorable little girl named Dana, who is now a toddler. By the end of the week, Dalton became an elder, they paid their property taxes, and they are well on their way to becoming Upper Middle Class with a savings of $43,853.
Happy Simming!
