Strickland-Dorsey Round 1

 

The Strickland-Dorsey Household Round 1

Time for Faith Strickland's first day of work at Coldwater's bookstore, Wormbook. Faith's favorite color is yellow if you couldn't tell. Right now she has no employees but Coldwater has plenty of townies if things get too hectic.

Uh-oh, part of the tree at Bits & Bolts, the robotics store, appears to be coming through the roof in Faith's writing room at Wormbook. I'll have to remember to adjust that when I get to the Price-Dillon round.

Our first customer! Tabitha Harrell, who owns Coldwater's club.

And our first star!

Why yes, all we have is books. We have individual books, stacks of books, bookshelves, books on shelves...

Another customer! Townie Harriet Dunham. Forgive me for judging based on looks but surely she wants to buy some books.

Hey look, it's Coldwater's randomly generated business reporter Berjes Taylor. He's not a bad looking sim, so I don't think I need to give him a makeover. I hope he likes Wormbook!

Tabitha was ready to check out so Faith had to learn how to use the register. Baby steps.

Ultra tiny, miniscule, super baby steps...

Woohoo, Wormbook's first Simoleon!

Just a few more customers to go, then Faith will close up shop for the day so that her roommate Kyle Dorsey has time to go to his shop today too.

I love sims' impatient register expressions.

Berjes got a star!

He's giving us a thumbs up, however the notification in the corner says he gave Wormbook a bad review...

Oh, perhaps he changed his mind after looking at that bookshelf. Best of the Best Award, on day 1? To be fair this is the only bookstore in Coldwater.

And just a bit of restocking, since Faith wants to get a bronze restocking badge. Then we'll head home. Wormbook made $458 today, got a negative review, then got an award, 4 loyalty stars, and reached rank 1. I guess that's a good first day?

Alright, guess we get to hang out around the house with Kyle for 7 hours before he can go to his gallery.

Kyle decided to work on his creativity skill in the meantime so he can start selling his own artwork at his gallery.

He's painting a cat. Oh please let me get you a cat!

3pm cereal break.

And here is Kyle's gallery, Gallery Quality Home Prices. Not as clever of a name as Wormbook but I don't think Kyle is a clever type of guy.

Kyle opted to test out the couches before any customers arrive.

Tabitha's back! She must really enjoy shopping. And she thinks Kyle is attractive!

Another Coldwater resident, Curtis Danielson. He owns the bar, Clanging Glasses. Looks like he could use some help.

Star!

Curtis: Uh, that's a flamingo not a planet but sure I can be into it...

Learning to use the cash register part 2.

Impatient register expressions part 2.

Everyone will improve at the register soon I promise.

And restocking time! The gallery made $4,746 today! It also reached rank 1. Unfortunately Kyle didn't get the bronze sales badge he wanted, maybe next time.

This default replacement pot by alienpod is so cute.

Faith decided to try and get the logic skill point she's been wanting before bed.

But she was too tired to wait up for Kyle. Faith, you're missing a shooting star!

Kyle returned home and immediately went to bed, and as it's after midnight that's the end of round 1 with the Strickland-Dorsey Household.

Now here's where I tell you to look for the next household, ideally in a way less cheesy than what came to mind which is stay tuned for the Olson-Brady Household next time in Coldwater. I think this was a pretty successful first day in the new 'hood. I'm going to really enjoy playing this, so I hope you'll enjoy seeing what happens!
