TR II: Year 2

Rolled Invisi Goth.


As she walked by Tom Cruise's (from MTS but without CC) tent, she wanted to flirt with him, so I "let" her.


But they argued so much that Tom eventually was rejecting her flirts.


On the map I have seen Inge and Myskaal often visiting each other's lot, and in Inge's case, Myskaal's salon. So I zoomed in on them. How sweet.


By the middle of the year, Motoki finally grew enough lettuces and opened his vegetable stand for business, by taking out a $13K loan. This time I want him to run the register, and have Madame Mim work on the "farm" while he works.


Her wage is now $16/day, plus a lettuce if she's hungry. I also disabled "Allow Push" for her to stop her from collecting. Not sure if that's the right way to do it....This is funny, I was playing someone else, and I saw Madame Mim on the map visiting the veggie stand after she finished harvesting, as if she was delivering the harvest to Motoki. I was just going to open the trunk and drag the lettuces from her inventory.


Zazazu bought a lettuce on her own, so I switched to her to make a salad, and found she had the want to break up with Hood. So she would, first thing next morning. 


It looks like the feelings are mutual. This is how Hood greeted Zazazu when she went over to his tent.


That's it then. "We are through!"


Zucabr and Alice Nakamura got married by SP. I had to manually move them in together because either of their lots can pass the home inspection. The combined family funds? $0. Combined household networth? $136 in the debt. Isn't it annoying that they do not automatically wear wedding rings now after getting married? And so far, it doesn't sound like a shotgun marriage.

End of Year 2 tally:
# of residents: 40 (still no babies)
# of households: 39
# of houses: 0
# of businesses: 2 (new business: Motoki's veggie stand, employee: Madame Mim)
Business updates:
    - Motoki's veggie stand: Cumulative sales income: $74; Cumulative wage costs: $64.
Outstanding loans:
    - Motoki: $14,300 (10%/yr)
Romances:
    - Breakups: Zazazu and Hook Lecher
    - Girlfriend/boyfriend:  Zazazu and jfade (SP, also high scope room score, but non-compatible signs)
    - Marriages: Zucabr and Alice Nakamura (SP)
    - Couples to watch: Lei and Zucabr (compatible signs); Inge and Myskaal (compatible signs); Madame Mim and Jolrei (scope room score and compatible signs).

Other Learnings:
- Working on someone else's farm does not gain gardening skills, nor can they "tend garden" other than harvesting. :( [Edit] It looks like this Autonomous Gardening Tasks mod might be able to deal with this. I'll investigate. Since it's autonomous for anyone in the hood(?), Madame Mim, don't slack and hold onto your job!
