#(I was tempted to cut out what everybody's ''productive'' hobbies are bc it's boring as hell

[100talberts]

(3rd person update. TL;DR everyone got a new hobby.)

Guess who couldn’t pay their bills?

The money Jeb made at work gave them enough to pay, but he is not happy. He starts to gather all his sons Teen and older, only to realize Lovell is the only one still at home. He curses out Harvey and Glenn for using their money to move out and leave them alone with the bills, because it’s totally their fault that nobody told them their parents were struggling financially.

Anyways, Jeb and Christina agree on a new household rule: all girls Teen and up must pursue a “productive” (money-making) hobby, and all boys Teen and up must pursue a “productive” hobby and/or get a job.

Music is not productive, so Lovell gets a job at Sim-Fil-A. He finds that a 5-9 job leaves him the rest of the day to write his Dramatic Ballads.

Christina and Irene already make flowers, and now Kayla joins them.

Naomi gardens and takes pictures.

Naomi also convinced Irene to spend her latest royalty paycheck on a bee box.

Rather than pick up a hobby, Julie takes on the “jobs” of maid and nanny. The child aged girls do most of the cleaning and laundry already, so that’s fine, but now every toddler is the responsibility of Julie and Julie alone. Julie, who is Family-Oriented, has a Super Parent aspiration, and is a Family Sim, is very happy with that.

Mary takes up painting.

It all leaves the R&S twins with plenty of time to do their own recreational activities.

Like fishing. Even though they aren’t required to help out with money, Shane and Pine Tree happily go fishing anyways.

They aren’t like the other kids, who choose fun and personal fulfillment over making money. Selfish brats.

At least Jeb won a chance card.
