The Founders: Byron and Emily Gordon
Lot: Slipshod Mesquite in Oasis Springs
Life State: Human
First things first. The parents head over to Magnolia Promenade to fish for Dragon Fruit.
Byron's first Aspiration is Nerd Brain. Emily started with Painter Extraordinaire. She also took a Freelancer position once her painting skill was at level 7. At that point, more lucrative gigs show up. I didn't think it was worth it to take gigs under $1K. Of course, Byron took a job in the Scientist career for the increased abduction odds. By the way, Dance Machine/Disco nap + upgraded bed means that they only had to sleep for about an hour and a half per night.
By the end of week 1, both had completed their aspirations. I sent them out in turns to adopt three infants: Eliot, Elinor, and Milton. The next day they tried for baby. Emily gave birth to twins, Shelley and Keats.
Despite leaving an open spot, Byron came back without an alienboo on board. In fact, he would go on to be abducted numerous times with no luck.
Soon, the babies began to grow up. Milton's toddler ensemble cracked me up. Hey Milton, Huggy Bear called. He wants his outfit back!
His child look was a big improvement, if I do say so myself. Nerd chic really suits him.
Cooking with kids! That's Keats in the foreground and Shelley on the computer.
Still the best way to make fast money in the game.
Milton and Eliot. Eliot was the first to become a teen. Milton is working on one of his adult skills. When children knit, they get Knitting skill, Motor skill, and Emotional Control all at once. Sweet!
Elinor was not amused that she only got to be a teen for one day.
But look, Elinor. Shiny!
Can you tell who was my favorite child of this bunch?
Here's a link to my
Spreadsheet if anyone is interested in all of the particulars of who did what when. Note-I also use the sheet for planning. Completed objectives are green and when a child moves out, their entire column is colored in. Warning, there are spoilers!
