It's finally summertime in Bakersfield, and the residents are gearing up for a season full of swimming, fishing, and gardening, among other outdoor activities. Once again, the neighborhood section of town looks about the same other than some of the houses have gotten bigger. Resident Architect Leslie Ward has her work cut out for her this round though, as the first bunch of Uni students graduate and come back to town looking for housing. That means new houses will be built this round, and I can't wait!
The town center changed a little bit with the addition of a few new buildings. The Benson plantsims started a new flower arrangement business seen in the bottom left of the picture across the street from the casino/hotel. A small architect's office was built for Leslie Ward to work out of; it can be seen in the top left of the picture. It's the really tiny building with the slanted roof right behind the church. And a military base was added for our two Military career sims: Daniel Ward and Tracey Moran. You can see it on the right hand side of the picture. It's the giant compound lot. I hope to add more career lots this round and start taking pictures of my sims at work! And of course, a University was added: the subhood Sim State University, but I didn't take any pictures of that. Get ready for Round 6!
