Way to go, Dora. Work that epic failure.
She's lucky my game crashed before I saved. I might not like her half so much since I'm counting on her to live long enough and open up Education, no matter how much of Skye's special juice she's got to drink. (Neither she nor Lana are stuck in ambition-limiting elder tracks, I switched them out to the appropriate level and I expect great things from them, so incidentally Lana's 2 promotions didn't signal the end of the road for her by far.)

Now this post I actually had ready back in September! I had no idea it would take me so long to write up the round. Anyway:
I really am playing this BaCC style, I swear.
Here, have some statistics:

Residents: Beech (4), S. Beech (1), Hart (3), Land (6), Mann (2), Jr. Mann (3), Ottomas (7), Weiss (5)
Community Lots: The Makeout Spot, Forest Lake, Forest Lake Park/Camp (Daytona), Municipal Clearings (Daytona), The Dugout (Valentine), The Barleycorn Farm Shop* (Ottomas), Woodworks Furniture (Penny)
"Legally", Daytona's not supposed to keep ownership but she figures it makes more sense for profits to feed back into the town coffers and bolster yet more expansion.

*From lot description: "This lot represents the sort of farm shop you find on a random backroad, where some farmer's teenage kid is selling gorgeous produce out of a tin shack." And thus David Ottomas was given a 'job'. For some reason I always think of him as a fortune sim so that'll be his secondary, at some point, because I just can't shake that idea of him. Might make him and Dixie more compatible than their maybe-sorta-like-you-sometimes-so-let's-kiss one bolt but...well, you'll see ;-)

Sim Multiplier: 3 Population:93
Treasury: Um, Daytona's a creative bookkeeper but the season should've brought in $12500 in tax revenue. Sandy Beech was kicked out on the last day of the rotation so her household wasn't played and didn't need to contribute until the next round. The Junior Manns got the short end of Rich's ire, however, because they had been included in his payout but then had to pay their own way out of the nothing that he left them. Bright side, they're in a much lower tax bracket now.

No fires, no burglaries, no illnesses. Damn.
Furious sims: Hamilton, Daytona, Virginia, Sandy, Rhett, Rich, Junior, Lana...
Law career duly unlocked! Now just need someone qualified to learn how to mediate, and then sue, sue, sue!

Also Overachievers: 7 vs. Underachievers: 2
The smartypants are Rich Mann, Skye Weiss, Homer & Beulah Land and their son Scot, and Sandy & Virginia Beech.
The slackers are Candy Hart (no surprise there!) and Dixie Land, who is a maximum underachiever with full playful points and no active and being a fortune sim she might be in for a rough time of it.
There were a couple on the cusps but almost doesn't count. It may later have an influence, though, when I'm deciding on smartification.

( Aaand...Outtakes! )
