Winter, a time for Families

Jade finally made it to the top of her career and became the Hand of Poiseidon. Sharlene got her last promotion to Mad Scientist and immediately started cashing in her vacation days. Both kids grew to teens.

Eddie bought Bluewater Baths & Spa. At level 4 at the end of the round. Since Eddie wasn't much of a stylist (he botched a few attempts at makeovers before throwing in the hair brush) he decided it would be a better investment to sell the makeover chairs and buy a bubble blower and a pool table. In the back he sold one of the hot tubs and bought a massage table. He also set up a buffet line and bought two hot air balloons (from parsimonius.com) for his clientele to use. He decided it would be best to use the lot as a venue with a charge-by-service for the massage table. So far it's working nicely. Now he just needs to find a suitable hire whom he can promote to manager to keep the story when he's spending time at home.

Marcel's family all worked on skills. All kids are teens, none perma plat yet. Harmony & Melody have 2 days left before college. Harmony has fallen in love and is spending time with her beau. Melody on the other hand is already working on her 5th love. This is very much attributed to the wishing well that they earned for the garden at their previous home.

Nothing exciting is going on in that household right now - just skilling and trying to keep everybody above green aspiration.

To the next household - Rosie the Servo and Nicholas Barthelet. They were married at Carter & Sharlene's anniversary party and moved out soon after. Nicholas being a family sim (and wanting to marry off 6 kids) was very distraught to learn that Servos can't procreate. So, his first action once in their new house was to fill the walls of their bedroom with dream catchers which he promptly sold first thing in the morning and called the social worker to adopt a baby.

When the baby grew to a toddler, he realized that wouldn't be a enough for him. He wanted his own children from his own flesh & blood and although he loved Rosie, he knew she would never be able to give them to him. He started a search for a woman who could birth his gaggle of babies for him. In the meantime, he was neglecting to spend time with Rosie and she ran amuck on him. She finally wore herself out and broke in the middle of the living room. He though about leaving her broken so he wouldn't have to worry about sneaking behind her back to have children, but in the end his love for her won out and he called a repairman to come over (after he tried fixing her and ended up electrocuting himself).
