School Days -- Start of Week 5
Here are all of the school-age kids in Little Hollywick at the beginning of Week 5. If you remember from last time, these posts are to help me keep all of the kids' ages in sync. It's also kind of fun to see them all together!
Right now, these pictures are just to keep track of the kids; I don't actually play a custom school for them. However, once I have a sim in the Education career track that will change. I will build and play an actual school for all of the Little Hollywick kids once there is at least 1 teacher to teach them!
Also related to game play, you'll notice in these pictures that a few of the kids are wearing new clothes. I'm not sure if it was ever an actual BaCC rule, but I did not let my kids buy clothes until a sim opened up a clothing store in town. Well now that Lucy Wells has done just that, my sim kiddies don't have to look so crazy anymore! But they did have to spend money for new clothes.
And here we have Max Clock, Dewey Dingle, and Max's sister Ella Clock. They are the only teens in Little Hollywick at the start of week 5. But soon others will join them. These 3 attend the Little Hollywick Public High School, where they are studying hard in hopes of going to college one day. Max will be graduating later on in Week 5, and it remains to be seen if he is planning on going to college. Max is 3 simdays older than Dewey and Ella, so he will graduate long before they do. Dewey and Ella will graduate in the middle of Week 6, so they still have a little while. (Oh, and isn't it a law of nature that your face breaks out with pimples on yearbook picture day at school? Poor Max!)
Here are the students of Little Hollywick's combined Elementary and Middle School. From left to right in the back row we have Huntley Clock, Susie Dingle, and Oliver Clock. Left to right in the front row is Liam Clock and Sam Gates. Susie, Huntley and Oliver have 1 day left until they become teenagers and leave these kids behind and join the high school students. Sam will become a teen in 5 days and will join the high school students later on this week. And poor little Liam still has 8 days to go.
There are two other kids in Little Hollywick at the start of Week 5, but they are still babies: Charlie Clock and E.T. Dingle. They have a little ways to go until they start school. Right now, they are "students" at the Happy Faces Daycare on Main Street, owned by Stephen Clock.
Next up I'll post some pictures of the new city center, which contains all sorts of fun spots for these kids and their parents to hang out. (Translation: I went on a downloading spree. Mainly the awesome Pleasantview community lot makeovers by an_nas !)
