Inhabitants (in the beginning of the round):

Well, a funny thing happened and I ended up with 100+ pretty pictures of my desktop..
I was so bummed when I found out! So I'm just going to shortly explain what happened on those 5 days.

First of all, here's their nice little house. Rich and Jenn were able to get so many promotions that they could afford to buy a car and a telescope. Now all but the Corcorans have the cheapest car in different colours. Pretty funny, actually.

A sweet portrait of them all, standing on their porch. And as you can clearly see, Jenn and Rich had a little boy during the round since they both immediately wished for a kid when I started playing. So a child they got. I was secretly hoping for twins.. Oh well, Jenn promptly wished for another kid when Tobias - the boy's name was determined by a random name generator - had his birthday, so they'll be having a second one next round. And no, Jenn isn't pregnant yet, she was always too tired when she and Rich were home at the same time.

Figured I should take a picture of the house plan since there are no pictures of the interiors, plus I changed the wallpapers and floorings (I just can't stand the carpeting, something we don't have in Finland - fortunately). I'm just wondering if I should take a picture like this of all the houses. Would you be interested to see how they really look like?

First off is Jenn. She got a job in Education on Monday evening, and went to work every day even when pregnant. Now she's working as an Elementary School Teacher, which is a level 4 position.

Jenn met Layce Cooprider when she came by to welcome her to the neighbourhood, and then spent a lot of time talking with her about the baby. It's quite sad that Jenn isn't friends with her own mother.. I clearly need to work on that, though it's hard since Mama J spends most of her time skilling.

Rich found a job in Culinary, his dream career, on Tuesday, and was able to get promoted up to a Host which is also a level 4 position. Jenn and Rich were quite productive this round work-wise.

I feel I see the same faces on every lot - there's Marshall Upton again. And Corky. But as a Popularity sim, Rich wanted friends and he already knew them.
I find it quite hilarious that Rich has more chemistry with Mama J than with Jenn, btw. And yet, he isn't even friends with her.

Mama J was very productive, too, when it came to skilling. She has already maxed her Mechanics and Cleaning!

The downside of skilling non-stop is that then you don't have time to build relationships; Mama J has only one friend, her sister Beulah Norwood who doesn't even live with her. At least Mama J is wishing to interact more, wanting to teach Tobias how to use the potty.

She has also worked towards hobby plaques, and is well on her way to achieving the Tinkering and Nature hobby plaques. And since Nature is her OTH, she wished for a garden which was built on the side of the house.

Last but not least, Tobias, who was born on Thursday, year 4, being the first baby born in Prosperity Fellowship! He's quite a nice blend of his parents, though he inherited both his fathers eye and hair colour. He does carry gray eyes and blond hair as recessives. Tobias is also quite a mean sim.. But we can live with that.

---------------

+1 point for a new sim, Tobias.

Well, what can I say: it was short and sweet(?). I'm still annoyed by the fact that I lost all the pictures.. There were so many nice things happening during the round and now you won't be able to see them ): The good thing is that I knew how to fix the problem, and hopefully this will NEVER happen again. And I liked playing the family.

That's about it.
