Narrated by Julian Sitko

What do you think of the new uniforms at The Greasy Spoon? The hot dog vendor outfit just wasn't working for me so we've gone simple. And yes, it's "we" now. I finally have some real employees. Joseph Carmody is working as my cook and Araminta Benton is my waitress.

Round 12: Days 56-60

Last update: Cedric and Justina/Collette

Pregnant Collette has taken her parents up on their offer to move in with them. The last house was too small for grandparents, mother and baby, so they've bought a brand new house.

Moving into the new house had tired out Collette, so the first thing she did when they'd finished was relax on her brand new bed. The bedroom she'd chosen was right across the hall from another bedroom, which would become her son's nursery.

Round 11: Days 51-55

Last update

Cedric and Justina are the oldest adults in Sullivan and have just one child left at home, their youngest son Ben.

Ever since Charlton and Collette went away to college, Cedric had been sporting a bit of a paunch. He'd made it his mission to rid himself of it and with a mix of yoga and tai chi, he finally achieved it.

Round 11: Days 51-55

Last update/next update/Collette's next update

Charlton, his twin sister Collette and his girlfriend Aphrodite have graduated college and moved into a duplex (or triplex maybe, as there are three units) in Sullivan.

Collette was a bit bummed that the closest thing she had to a boyfriend was Galen. Watching her brother act coupley all the time with Aphrodite got really old but she had to grin and bear it.

last update/next update

On Saturday evening, Simona invited Icarus Quincy, the headmaster at the local private school, for dinner, hoping to get her three children in. Filippo is a bit young but they can save a spot for him. The headmaster was super-impressed with the Morettis' sparkly food and the kids were all accepted.

I am so sick of this! These are attic style rooms but there is a ceiling over them. They should not freeze if there's a ceiling! I've been advised by Anilyn over at N99 that I need to replace the gable walls. Gah - I hope I don't ruin the roof in the process because I suck at roof building.

Onto the Nihills

last update/Justina's last update/next update

Cedric did a pretty good job taking care of himself, I have to say. Even if Justina hardly ever left. He'd bring her home every day after school. Here they are in the townhouse he lived in as a teen.

What's been happening at the Novaks?

last update/Justina's next update/next update

Over at the trailer park, Kristina prepares a turkey for dinner with the headmaster later on. Justina was desperate to get into private school. Fees are $3000 per rotation, plus $1000 per rotation for each subsequent child so it's quite pricey. However, because the Novaks live in such an el cheapo place, they were able to ferret away quite a bit of money and didn't have much trouble affording it.

Poor Cedric

next update

Here's another poor soul whose only parental figure I have killed off. Luckily, Cedric Nihill is a teen and hence old enough to take care of himself. He's living in the new townhouses I just added.

I had wanted to move him into the trailer park but back when I first started Sullivan (I'm back dating these posts, if you're reading this well into the future), I had a huge problem with the trailer park. It wouldn't let me move in a neighbour no matter what I did. So the townhouse it was!

Anyway, he's Family, with an LTW to become the Minister of Education. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Harder Jobs hack works. Theoretically, if he becomes Minister, no other Sim should be able to while he's holding the position. I'd like to see how that plays out. It's a relatively new hack for me.
