8.2 Service, Please!
The Norman family consists of
Magnus Norman, Popularity elder, LTW Captain Hero. He works in the Law Enforcement career and he owns the toystore Ekte Norsk which is at level 9 at the moment.
Wilma Norman, Fortune elder, LTW to become Hall of Famer. She works in the Athletics career.
Audhild Norman, their daughter, Knowledge adult, LTW to become a Criminal Mastermind, but no openings are available in that career path, so she is destined to be a stay-at-home mom at least this week.
Tobias Norman, her husband, Knowledge adult, LTW to become Education Minister. There is an opening in the career path, but he hasn’t been able to find a job.
Odd Norman, their newborn son.
The week starts with a birthday party. Odd will become a toddler and demand a lot of training in the next few days.
Odd seems to be very smart, and he also has the full attention of his Knowledge parents, so he learns all toddler skills superfast and is already in on the last, the Nursery rhyme. He looks a lot like Morfar Magnus!
And soon Odd will be a big brother, if all ends well. Audhild discovers when cooking pork chops that she’s pregnant!
Morfar Magnus comes home, promoted to SWAT team leader and brings Taavetti Ottomas with him home from work. He doesn’t even work in the Police force!
Magnus goes to Ekte Norsk for the first time this week, and receives a good review!
And as if that wasn’t enough, the reviewer also gives him the Best of the Best award! Magnus has to sit down for a while.
And that night, the store reaches level 10! This opens another slot in the Business career. Thanks, Magnus!
Back home, the Norman family takes full advantage of the services that are now available in Birka. Here is their gardener Jerry Dalton.
The repairwoman Carola Juhlin. And the maid, Dominic Tomasson, in his fabulous pink shirt!
When Wilma comes home promoted to MVP, Dominic is still at work in the house, which has been neglected for a long time. I also notice that Wilma earns a lot more money than sims usually do in the same career. I wonder if that is the effect of some Fortune sim perk?
Tobias takes the opportunity to cuddle Odd thorroughly, before he gets so big that he doesn’t want to cuddle his dad!
Like right now, when it’s time for the cutest kid in Birka to grow up to schoolboy. After the transition he's still pretty cute.
Since Ekte Norsk reached the top, Magnus is focusing on his other career in the Law Enforcement. He gets promoted to Police Chief on Friday.
And then it’s time for Odd’s little brother or sister. It’s a girl, and I’m afraid she’s a clone of Odd. She’ll get her own fine Norwegian name though - Vigdis!
After a long time of searching, Tobias finally finds a job in Education, as a Playground Monitor. He will sure start from the bottom.
During the weekend Odd plays with the neighbourhood kids. For example a pillow fight with Heather Boston.
Or playing Red Hands with Urho Ottomas
And Wilma is a Superstar. No - an Assistant Coach!
And Vigdis is growing up. All adults are in Platinum most of the time, so she’ll have no lack of smartmilk.
The week ends with toddler Vigdis emptying her first bottle of many in pursuit of knowledge.
