I guess Patience should thank her lucky stars, eh? ;) I expect that I'll talk at least a little about whatever I end up doing with Patience and Matilda's careers but I still haven't figured it out as of yet. I've had the same thought as you about my other Sims as well but decided to leave it for the same reason - it's really not hard to become rich in this game and I'm not going to help it along!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-16903774224198712812011-08-28T01:38:36.598+10:002011-08-28T01:38:36.598+10:00I already mentioned it at N99 but I love the famil...I already mentioned it at N99 but I love the family pic at the beginning. Rob looks so cute and looks like such a sweet guy. I had no doubt that Felicity would be a daddy's girl. I love the pic of Jude hugging her head *swoon*. And the pic of Patience teaching Felicity how to walk is adorable as well. I just like how Felicity is looking up at Patience. I just love all the pics Felicity is in, really. And I'm glad that they're deciding to try again and I hope they have <i>much</i> better luck this time around.<br /><br />If you figure out some kind of system for your actors, please keep us posted! At least they have <i>some</i> money to their name. Patience could be like Nicholas Cage... an amazing lead actor who had 2 homes go into foreclosure :\. I've been trying to think of a system to give all my sims a little extra money each time I play them. I play each family once every 6-9 months right now and it doesn't make much sense for them to have the same amount of money they had when I played them several months earlier. But it became too complicated for my brain and I also didn't want my sims to become too rich too soon.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006019503835147657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-58780081309322824022011-08-22T08:55:40.432+10:002011-08-22T08:55:40.432+10:00Maisie, I'm glad, because there will probably ...<b>Maisie</b>, I'm glad, because there will probably be more pic spam every time Felicity is featured in any update, lol! <br /><br />I know! Lake had no grandkids at all for a long time, then came Sylvia and she was the only one for so long. Now he's got grandkids coming out of his ears! <br /><br />I think the pay thing will definitely be more of a bonus thing, as opposed to actually editing pay. I haven't figured out the details. Patience will probably end up in movies eventually - she's close to promotion - so I might not bother figuring out a Broadway thing for her. From what I read though, the pay depends on your role and how famous you are. Julia Roberts earned something crazy when she did Broadway but a lesser-known actor would get maybe $1500-3000 a week, depending on the role. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br /><b>Sandy</b>, I'm such a sucker for dads and their daughters and Rob is very sweet with Felicity. She's adorable.<br /><br />Patience is definitely very nervous about getting pregnant again. But at least now, she knows she's able to carry to term and she's feeling a very strong pull to have a second. So hopefully next round, these two will have another. :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-90086779721854782682011-08-21T22:14:52.891+10:002011-08-21T22:14:52.891+10:00Rob is so adorable with Felicity!

It's great seeing all the family together, and all those little kids running around, what a change the past few years have brought for Lake ins his grandparent role. <br /><br />And yay for a new baby at some point in the future! I'm glad, Felicity is too cute to waste those genes. ;) <br /><br />For the career aspect, maybe tie in a bonus you give when you think she's been in a big production. For instance she'll spend lots of time practicing, and then she'll have opening night, maybe once a year or twice? I don't know much of anything about broadway actors and pay, but I'd adopt something of this sort, it's what I did for Jude with his tour.maisiehttp://www.retromaisie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-2844066204588865202011-08-17T09:06:05.947+10:002011-08-17T09:06:05.947+10:00Apple Valley, I think I would be happy with either...<b>Apple Valley</b>, I think I would be happy with either situation - Felicity staying an only child, or getting a little brother or sister.

There is no rhyme or reason to the pay scale in the sims. I don't think the creators thought simmers would take game play as far as we have, so adjustments have to be made on our end lol. I hope they do have another child, though I totally understand Patience's fears.

But maybe you could look up the other Sims jobs and what they would make in real life, and then scale the acting profession down?
