Happy birthday to me? It's a rare post where none of my sims are aging up, but that will have to do.
Marius felt a little sick after his war duties so he took a day off (let's consider it his payment for war service). His 6-round-long contract should be coming to an end soon, and perhaps it's time to build another house for him and his daughter soon.
Marius got a date gift from his (late) wife in the mailbox, which was really sad, but also immersion-breaking. I also made him 2 seasons older, and by the end of the round he was already halfway through his adult years.
The ROS was expansion. I will build a lot, probably an asylum, because for now I just put Ninildu and Lalli into the Chinese monastery, which doesn't make much sense, naturally...
This was originally the Orange house, now Ninildu is at the asylum, so it is really Aulus's. Aulus might wait with getting married, depending on what fate brings. If he does, he might marry someone younger. There isn't much to say about him, besides him wanting to befriend all the dogs. He also would like to sell a masterpiece someday, so that is something to keep him occupied in his free time. His paintings haven't been worth much yet.
Volesus will probably move in with his twin sister once she finishes her vestal obligations, but that still won't be for a while... He has chemistry with Harmine Garas. They could live with the ex-vestal someday, but that is a very long term goal...
Two of the dogs became enemies at some point, due to all the chasing and challenging, and Fitela's life came to an end. Alia was returned by Saku, after running away due to being chased by a stray wolf. It might not seem like that from my posts, but there is always a lot of drama with the wolves.
Skylax, the puppy chose Maria as master. That was a big want for the little girl, so I'm glad the puppy didn't randomly pick someone else. Maria got to a silver gardening badge, by helping Volesus and Aulus in the poppy garden.
The business got to level 3, and the Business Reviewer gave it a positive review. They earned 1221$ in the business because the poppy prices are kind of insane. I only open my sims' businesses once per round, to balance incomes a bit...
1160$ - tax (calculated for the business and Maxis career)
They paid 1950$. Surprisingly, they still have ~1000$ left. Marius might want to reserve this amount for Maria's future dowry, even though she doesn't need to get married immediately after aging up next round. It's just some safety net for her future in case another lot disappears... let's hope that doesn't happen again... Speaking of, my graves disappeared again after running Hood Checker, I have no idea why.
I wish everyone happy April and Easter holidays if you celebrate.
