At the end of last round, the Iversons merged with Linda Edwards' household, creating a blended family consisting of Linda, her son Joseph, her daughter Rachel, Joseph's fiancé Destiny (who immediately became his wife), and Destiny's brother Chase. Shortly after moving into their apartment, Linda gave birth to another son, Michael. Joseph was working in Criminal, but soon switched to Athletic (his LTW), and was joined by his mother and sister (who aged to adult early in the round), since they both also have the LTW for Athletic. Chase and Destiny continued working in Slacker, while also pursuing their degrees. Chase was able to finish his community college degree and find a job in his LTW of Adventurer by the end of winter; Destiny is still working on her degree, as her progress was greatly slowed by becoming pregnant (the baby will be born next round). I had planned to move Linda's boyfriend (Michael's father) in as soon as Linda aged to elder, but for some reason I was unable to age Alvin up to elder with her - he just didn't appear on the list of potential friends to age up! I think it may have something to do with him being an AL townie, as I noticed other AL missing from the list as well, even ones that Linda was very friendly with. So, I made the decision not to move him in, since it would be very weird for Linda's boyfriend to be younger than her kids. We'll just say he had cold feet about being a father and leave it at that, I guess. Chase began dating Bruce McMillan, and Rachel is crushing on Marie Mazza, so I decided to move them both out (to separate households), giving them each $5000 to start their new families as Working Class. This family will also remain Working Class (though they nearly got promoted), with a savings of $11,747, after rent/expenses and giving money to Chase and Rachel.
Happy Simming!
