#plebeian

Today we are visiting the plebeians who are all living together. Maria aged up and became a Fortune sim. I don't know how much money she is going to earn but she can have her ambitions.

She wanted to autonomously caress Aulus first thing after getting her gender preference. They have 2 bolts together, but Aulus just shrugs at her. Yet, somehow he fell in love with her before she did, and it was his idea to go steady.

There is definitely a little age gap between them - while Aulus is halfway through teenage years, Maria just became a teenager (I mean she was born when he was already a toddler/small child). If they do end up together, this couple will make all my original families related to each other.

As a child, Aulus taught Maria the Nursery Rhyme, but besides that Maria learnt all the other toddler skills from Volesus (who was never interested in her, he has his male love interest), so... I hope this pairing is not too creepy just because they were both brought up in this orphanage-esque establishment.

Volesus also aged up and he was able to fall back in love with Harmine again. At first I thought Harmine would be carrying this whole relationship, but Volesus fell in love first and he wanted to get engaged...

I don't know if they will ever get married, but they will definitely be together as boyfriends. Like I've said before, I'm planning on having them live with Volesus's sister when she stops being a Vestal Virgin and gets her residence.

Aulus wanted to max out Arts&Crafts, so he painted the couple's portrait.

I wanted this household to make cheese, as they have a lot of milk, but there is no salt in town. Apparently salt making was not very expensive in ancient times, but I need a household living close to the sea to produce it...

The ROS was rather uneventful for this household, and they got a free pair of chickens. This can bring even more flu to my hood, as if everybody wasn't already sick...

Marius got 4 paychecks of 420$ each, and I think they earned 1435$ in the business. The business got to rank 4.

500$ - rent

1246$ - tax

312$ - tithe

I know I don’t have a job so the money I have from Christmas dinner should go to “important” things, but let me argue that this would indeed count as important real quick:
