Around Town: Rose Hill Park

After fruitlessly searching for a wedding chapel on many sites, I went ahead to constructed a wedding venue of my own. It is a formal venue for outdoor weddings, called Rose Hill Park.

• It looks like the new tax code proved beneficial to the LC. Because of the new surplus, I will probably only collected once every four years (2 rounds), instead of every two. I’ll see.
• I was quite shocked to see that Mayor Barnes is the second poorest resident in terms of net worth. I guess I haven’t been playing him enough so he can get payed from the Maxis mayor job.
• Now that taxes have been collected, the city’s budget will be posted as well.

Amelia Meade (26). Also Blake (29) & Deidre (24) Faithbucks.

Amelia was having the Blake and Deidre over for dinner one evening. The Faithbucks, who had a preschooler and two toddlers at home, welcomed the opportunity to get away. Having adult conversation was refreshing.

Laurel Crossing Board of Education Curriculum

Superintendent Amelia Meade has mandated the new curriculum for the Laurel Crossing School District.

After weeks of research, Superintendent Meade has created the curriculum to meet not only minimum graduation standards mandated by the SimNational Ministry of Education, but also to meet entrance requirements to a variety of colleges and universities nationwide.

The curriculum also provides a vigorous academic plan for those planning to enter college. Thus, the curriculum is designed to meet the satisfactory levels of the SPAT, or the Scholastic Performance Assessment Test.

SPAT scores are detrimental to students applying to colleges and universities. SPATs are comprised of three sections: CSE (core skill evaluation), CIE (core interest evaluation) and CHE (core hobby evaluation). Credit to Apple Valley.

The new curriculum has arrived just in time for the grand opening of Laurel Grove Primary school, which will open its doors this month. Laurel Hills Secondary school will officially open in time for the new academic year in the fall of 3001.

For interested parents and students, there will be an information session regarding the new academic plan on this Friday in the Laurel Grove school auditorium, where the superintendent and the school staff will be there to answer any questions. For more information, please contact Superintendent Meade at cityoflaurelcrossing@gmail.com.

Edit: I have uploaded the file with my curriculum on it, in case you wanted it. The picture above is not very clear enough to see. Even though I have Excel 2007, I saved it in .xls format for those who don’t; so if the formatting is a little off, that’s why.

Round 3001 Census

Deputy Mayor Summer Frazier has just submitted results the first census:

Census will be taken once every two years, that is, at the beginning of every round.

• Wow! My population is so skewed toward the female persuasion. Hopefully that will improve by next round.
• The non-preference sexual orientation is the population of children and younger, as they would not have a sexual preference yet.

Circle of Life: Winter 3001

Just two pregnancies.

Britney Underwood’s new arrival is coming up soon, as she is now in her third trimester. Her mother, Donna, is the most excited; she wants ten! But since Britney is her only child, she might as well give up that dream!

• The Change of Heart one is perfect; it goes perfectly with how I want to play this person.
