Winter 1, Montes 1

Welcome back to the Montes family! In the last update the Montes got their Green business up to level 10 opening a position in both Business and Natural Science.

Stephen enjoying his last few days as a child and getting his aspiration as high as possible.

Sharron looks for a spot in Business to no luck. With plenty of funds to cover their taxes, she doesn’t take any job open to her in the meantime either.

Mostly because I would rather she focus on helping Karl run his businesses if she doesn’t have anything more important to do. This is Art Store. It sells art. To open a spot in the art career in case one of my Sims who wants to be a Visionary without having to wait until they hit level 10 in Creativity and sell a masterpiece before joining.

Reviewer shows up but we don’t get any type of article written so I assume it was neutral.

I believe Bennett Foley gave the first star of the business while Sharron was trying to get Keith to buy.

Back at home Stephen is getting in a last minute skilling before he ages up.

And Stephen is handsome! As a reminder, Stephen is both a vampire and werewolf so when 7 pm rolled around, he got those added to him. He’s a Popularity/Fortune Sim with the Lifetime Wish to be an Ecological Guru.

Note: His arms aren’t hairy. He’s wearing a short sleeved shirt over a long sleeved shirt with white arms.

With Stephen being a teenager he’s dragged off to Art Store to help out his parents and grandfather. We start him off on the register.

By this time Sharron’s aspiration is pretty low so I decide that Karl and Stephen can hold the fort down while they go on a date.

And my gut was right, the two could hold the fort down while they went on a date. However, Sharron wasn’t being very cooperative and was not rolling wants related to Andrew for most of the date. It only got to Dream Date level as Andrew was rolling wants related to Sharron.

While there Ulasim Tortall admired Meadow Thayer. We’ll have to see what bolts they have and then I’ll have a decision if they have high bolts. Meadow Thayer in a previous neighborhood had married Ulasim’s distant relative Pembery, but Pembery wasn’t heiress so it isn’t a direct line to Meadow.

Reviewer is back!

And we gamble and dazzle the reviewer. It works and they end up getting a Best of the Best award for the business.

On the second night, Sharron ends up getting a job in business so she’s working on Charisma.

Since Sharron now has more important things to do, I send the three off to Art Store to finish getting it to Rank 10.

And once Stephen got a gold cashier badge, I had Karl step in to start learning the ropes of running cashier and let Stephen start working on sales badges.

And Roxann Briggs gives the final star that pushes the business to Rank 10.

Back home since I don’t feel like opening another business this round, I have Stephen start working toward getting the gardening badges. I have Monique’s computer which allows for the badges to be learnable online. I figure gardening can be something learned online.

He also manages to break the computer. And I gamble and have Stephen try to fix it. It takes low motives to kill him from it and if he does get electrocuted that opens a spot in the Science field for someone who doesn’t max logic but gets a networking opportunity to enter the field (I have a mod that makes it where you have to graduate University to get a job in Science).

And that’s it for the season!
