Week 1 Day 7 - The bank accountant

Not just another day, but also the last day of their first simweek - 7 days. Or was it 7 years? I don't think they have stayed in these poor shelters for 7 years, but this kind of time confusion was always part of the Sims series.

This morning Yohanna was very hungry. She recalled the newly discovered plants on the northern beach, and walked there to harvest some. She felt like she was about to commit a crime while passing the Redward house, but they didn't notice her.

On the beach she could only harvest some lime fruits. The small plants still had no crops, or perhaps others had been there before Yvonne? She ate one lime fruit, then noticed there was black dust on them - how weird!

On her way back home she stumbled upon some small, mysterious creatures. They looked like beetles, but wasn't there something - evil - about them?

Yvonne washed the 3 lime fruits in the sea, then hurried back home. Yespar had just left bed, his face was looking better today, just a few more scars. She served him a lime, and told him about the beetles.

At noon Yvonne and Yespar attended the briefing at Arrival Beach. The other 3 households were represented by just one person each. And Bianca Blumington was pregnant... pregnant again? Hm, I think they already had a baby, but I'll have to check...

Sorry for all the text, but Roger has much on his mind today...

Greta sure got a point. It sounds a lot more complicated than when it was only inside of my head. I still think they need a system, they need a way to build a fortune. Not quite sure how they will make a living; Bolan can sell fish (will hopefully work with the consignment store), Bianca can sell paintings, Greta and Gabriel can sell food, Yespar just need an inventor's working station, and Roger Redward I don't worry about - he will find ways to make money.

See... nobody protested when Roger Redward suggested that he will own twice as much as the others. I don't know how detailed this will be, I really don't plan to focus a lot on the bank thing, but Roger will definately make sure that owners get paid, especially now that he will get more than the others. He's got a nose for business.

Hm, someone say nose...?

All the guys are pretty handy, and probably most of the women too. It should be possible to build small things like cribs, easels, chess games etc. I'll just make sure they get primitive textures.

Well, if you were suggested a bank accountant, you would have changed your point of view, too...

When the others had left Arrival Beach, Roger found Greta was still around. She wanted to talk about the beach store.

The bank book will be ready tomorrow, and I have a feeling that Greta will be the first customer.

I'm sure that some would like to pay a visit to the Greench home, to check the twins. And tonight is a good time because they will grow up. When Greta returned she found Gabriel where she left him, tending their garden.

Right, one of the boys is named LaShawn.   Unfortunately I wasn't there when they were born, or they would not be named LaShawn and Jess. There is naturally no City Hall on the island, so even if I could fix it just for changing names, I'll leave it to the randomness to come up with strange names even in the future. 

Then the twins grew up to toddlers! Tadaa! I can't wait to see them grow up to kids, but they already seem to look a bit different. LaShawn is DICIPLINED and LIGHT SLEEPER while Jess is EXCITABLE and HEAVY SLEEPER. I will set traits manually for the first 3 generations, based on a simple system to make kids get more of their parents' traits. I always missed that in this game, to say that "that kid behaves just like her mother". I'll post about my traits system later if anyone is interested.

Oh, and I figured new sims won't get their own blog tag until they reach childhood.

Well, let's hope it's the last night the kids must sleep on the ground. Gabriel should be able to build some primitive cribs tomorrow. You never know what happens when...

 

... those wild sounds haunts the island in the night, sounds that are coming closer...  

To be continued in 2 days... stay tuned, and please leave a comment here, or in the forum thread linked from top of blog.
