Michelle Sandoval is Betsy Shaw's former roommate, and the sim who helped Betsy get the club to level 10. She then decided to strike out on her own. Being a family sim, she wanted to have her own home and room for plenty of future babies.
When I first entered Michelle's house, she had a locked want to get engaged to David McKenzie.
He's a 3-bolter, but when I checked her relationship panel, she was absolutely furious with him. Apparently he cheated on her. So, want unlocked and love life apparently going nowhere, Michelle focused on building a business. Since she has a high interest in animals, Michelle opened the neighborhood's first pet store.
I had forgotten that Michelle earned her gold sales badge getting people to pay the entry fee to Betsy's club, so that was a piece of cake. She got a good review the day the shop opened, and the whole place was chaos after that. Michelle would close the store so she had a chance to restock merchandise. She also quickly reached level 10, and took all the cash and wholesale perks.
With business booming, we returned home to actually focus on Michelle's personal life. The good thing about running a business is that she has met and built relationships with most of the neighborhood by now.
Enter Alex Kenwood, knowledge sim.
And then a fight erupted between Jeff and Andy. I haven't the slightest clue what it was about, but Jeff came out the winner.
Finally, Emma took some of the massive amounts of money she earned at the pet store to purchase a baby supply store...
which she will need, as she got pregnant on the last day of her rotation!
