We left off with Bella passed out in the grass after working her ass off to buy a retail lot with just tips from playing the violin.
I woke up to the blaring noise signalling that the Flea Market was here. This is my chance to make some money for my new shop.
I started off trying to sell some fossils.
Nancy and Katrina looked at my stuff for a second before turning to chat with each other.
The guy just gave me and my stuff a dirty look and left.
I tried selling other junk like treasure maps, bubbles, and some flowers.
No one cared.
I finally had to give it up and leave. I didn’t sell a single thing.
*Just found out the table and art wall for selling is bugged due to C&D. Well, that was a waste for 5 hours*
After a day in the hot sun dying, I spent the night back at the Karaoke place for tips.
I ended up making enough for a bed and a toilet. I actually feel like I’m getting somewhere finally. I went to sleep without washing up and the stench did’t even bother me.
Of course, I woke up dirty and proceeded to break my sink.
Got it fixed though. I thought it would be harder than it was.
I must be an idiot. I’m exhausted, it’s 5:20 and I opened up my shop anyway.
I sold something!
Thank you, Summer. I think I’ll just help myself.
Akira: I see you bathed. Does that mean you have a shower now?
Bella: Nope, but I have a bed and a toilet. Man, this smells delish.
After she ate, it was back to the shop. Nothing happened while she was gone.
Bella: Kid, if you don’t stop, I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.
*is there a mod to stop kids from showing up and making messes?
Bella: Thank you, lady, for buying my crap.
I hate seeing all these people lounging on my bed and do you see that brat making another mess? It looks like a different too.
At least the first one did end up buying something while another customer went around mopping up the messes.
So, I made $49 in three hours. I hate my life.
It’s been seven hours now I’m up to $173.
Well, I sold 9 things in 10 hours. That’s almost an item an hour. I could probably make more money playing for tips.
I spy dinner!
Shit.
I have a fridge!
Do you see this!? I sold something worth $218 in the first hour today!
Trying to get J to buy something is like pulling teeth.
I’m not sure what’s going on, but at one point three people were making dish after dish after dish.
*If i had my 7 day food mod in, I’d be packing these lunches up and selling them.
I wish I could take this all home with me.
I used my perk points for this table.
I made better money playing for tips, as expected.
Sure, why not. It’s not like I have anything better to do.
We sat down to eat and he ran off. Probably to flirt with someone. Jerk.
It turned out that he was having them turn on the radio so that he could serenade me again. This time I let him know that I liked it.
I think I ordered wrong. I picked out a whole bunch of stuff, but all I got was water and ice cream. We both laughed at our brain freezes.
I left hungrier than when I arrived.
I bought a bigger bed and had a romp with Akira.
I better not be pregnant from a regular ol’ woohoo.
Tip night.
What a wonderful achievement!
I played and played for one reason only…
I made my first Milestone!
I have most of the basics and still I find myself near death most of the time.
I actually made my first meal of a fruit salad.
It gave me just enough energy to open up shop.
I spent my money on a radio. After that pregnancy scare, I think I’ll use this for fun.
Age check.
I have about $12 saved out for bills. The rest is in the shower fund.
I ended up buying a wall to sell all of my posters.
I really need walls around my living area.
Lookit! WOOO!
I stayed open for 10 hours and made a huge amount of money.
People got in my fridge and left a mess. >:{
He came while I was in bed. I pretended to be asleep. He cleaned my whole area and left.
Look at my new house!
It’s not much, but it means the world to me.
Akira stopped by to see my new digs. We spent the time cloudgazing.
It was fun, but not as fun as doing it indoors.
I’m starting to get regulars now. They show up and hang out most of the day before buying stuff though.
My life is complete now.
I have fully forgiven Akira and we became best friends.
Then we celebrated the best way possible.
I told him that I would LOVE to see where he lived.
I closed up shop and head to San Myshuno. It was uneventful. I went, I woohoo’d and I got kicked out for taking a shower there.
Bella: Shops open. Come and buy my junk.
I bought an easel today. I’m hoping to sell the rest of my junk and move on to stuff I paint myself.
Bella: I can’t believe you got mad that I was in your shower. Do I get mad when you walk into my fridge to eat all my food?
Akira: Look, I have no interest in arguing with you. It’s just not okay for my best friend/girlfriend to take such liberties.
Bella: Screw you. I’ve got to get back to work. Either buy something or leave.
Bella: Ohfuckingshit.
Akira: What does this mean?
I am so totally panicking on the inside. This was not part of the plan.
Bella: You’re gonna be a daddy!
Akira: Hey, I’m buying something over here. I gotta support this unwanted child.
Doing this while pregnant is not going so well. Every five minutes I have to eat or pee. I’m dying here.
I forgot a bought a floor mural thing. I worked on that for a bit today.
My stock of junk is finally dwindling down. I may need to start actually painting soon.
Or now seems to be a good time.
When I sell to people, everyone seems to listen.
The same kid shows up everyday now. She makes a mess and then buys a SimDoll.
——————–
I took out that skin here and loaded up to write up the last two chapters (needed access to relationship panel for names) and Bella finally popped. She was stuck in Trimester 1 for quite a long while with no tummy. As soon as I loaded up, it expanded.
We leave off with her at 6 days until her birthday.
Aspiration update. Now that she is pregnant, I will no longer be saving up her points for the Potion of Youth. I think she will save up for Marketable.
