Humble Beginnings 3/13/25

 Much to my surprise, the Franklins had a wildly successful round.  First off, I forgot that since Dagmar is married to Riley, who is Caleb's brother, the game sees them as family members and they can't actually have a romantic relationship, despite being able to roll wants to that end.  So, nothing happened between them, though they still have the wants to fall in love with each other.  I suppose if something else breaks up Riley and Dagmar down the line, we'll see if they still want to be together.  Caleb proposed to Melissa and subsequently moved her in.  She and Isaac continued to carry on with their affair, but Caleb never found out about it.  And, in a shocking turn of events, Isaac rolled the want to propose to one of his lady friends, Brandi Hanby.  However, he wasn't able to move her in due to the fact that Dagmar was carrying TWINS!!  She gave birth to two very identical little boys, who she named Aiden and Avery.  Charlotte, unfortunately, died just a few hours before the babies were born, preventing her from achieving her final wish of having another grandchild.  As the family was still Working Class, they were unable to keep her insurance money, but it doesn't matter, because with all the promotions/bonuses coming in, there was more than enough money to go around.  At the end of spring, I had Riley and Dagmar move out with their three boys (all now children) and the two dogs, giving them $25,000 and promoting them to Lower Middle Class.  Caleb and Melissa also moved out with $25,000 and were also promoted to Lower Middle.  (Btw, Melissa's LTW is for Athletic, but she's currently working in Law Enforcement.  She'll keep looking next round.)  I though it only fair that Isaac be allowed to move in his fiancé as well, and she brought in $9000, which was enough to push the bank balance above $25,000 ($28,483 to be exact) and promote them to Lower Middle also.  (Brandi's LTW is for Business; she works in Culinary.)  Therefore, the family has been split three ways, all achieving Lower Middle Class status and vacating their very cramped Working Class apartment. 

Happy Simming!
