The Bethlehem household.

Casey moved into his own house - so much space, after his single room in the boarding house! He didn't bring much furniture, of course, but soon added the coveted double bed to one of the bedrooms. The second room is empty, so far. The house is …

The Fredley household.

The Fredleys have struggled somewhat since they moved to town. Only Marcie has had any income, although they were able to sell tomatoes from the vegie patch occasionally. It looked like being a long time before they would be ready to move. Marcie would buy occasional toys …

Mariam Nader and Milo Fredley have both arrived at Mission U. They are the first shantytown sims to qualify.

Milo got a room in Terrace Dorm, with two other boys and three girls. Everyone else is new, too. Some of them seem nice. Milo's room has a double bed, which …

Saleh Nader is pretty much coasting along at present. He's barely interested in his job, and shows no inclination to settle down with Sally or anyone else. He's making rent and enjoying himself as much as possible.

Saleh spent the Spring mostly mooching about the flats. He did a bit …

There's a new household in shantytown. Ignatia and Gary Cornwall have moved into the old Nader house.

Ignatia has a job at the petrol station, while Gary is going into a new field and learning to sew.

They spent a lot of their first season jumping into bed, …

Anna turned out to be a little short of the funds to move into working class. She probably spent too much money buying takeaway from the Bethlehems - she had about four serving bowls in inventory. Those meals aren't cheap, and Anna had been barely scraping together the amount needed …

The Bethlehems are bent on filling up their house with babies. Bonnie's first pregnancy turned out to be twins, Graham and Greta, and Bonnie immediately got pregnant again. It was Casey's idea, though.

The partnership had a rather rough patch (because Casey danced with a customer!), but all is forgiven …

Nader Founders, Second Spring

The Nader family (minus Saleh) have moved into a nice little brick house, with three bedrooms, a full kitchen and room for a car out the back. Nadeeda has decorated in pinks (to match the 'vintage' bathroom fittings) and apple greens (to match her favourite dress). …

Spring was fairly quiet in the Olivera house, especially as Florian decided to close the poker game for a while. It's at Level 9, pretty much of its own accord, and makes the place so busy at all hours.

Florian is spending more time at his newer business, the news …

Nader 2

Saleh is enjoying having a whole flat all to himself. He hasn't spoken to his family all season, making the most of the privacy he never got at home. Sometimes he sees them walking by, from his front window.

He bought some minimal furnishings - cheap, but NEW! …

The Lindberg shack.

Anna got through her pregnancy, doggedly going to work throughout. She did invite Darryl for a serious talk, but the pork chops caught fire, and that was the end of that!

Baby Christof was born in due course, and got a cardboard box to sleep in. Daddy …

The Nader family, final pics from their poverty house.

The last day for the home business - Arif is setting up in one of the old railway sheds instead. Once Arif had taken the shop stuff away, the shed could be used for other things:

Turns out, Taslim is …
