A sports fan through and through, Joe has built a goal in the backyard in order to distract himself a bit. But still, he has to pay the bills somehow, and no one currently has a job for a run-of-the-mill business man.

His friend (and flirt) Christy drops by to cheer him up.

“Yeah, I think I’m going to sell, too.”

“Why? Your news paper stand is tiny!”

“I don’t just own the small shack, but also the surrounding park. And that’s a lot of land. The stand just doesn’t pay for itself.”

“Huh.”

“Okay, guys! It’s closing time! Buzz off! I’m going home and I’ll lock you in if you don’t leave right now!”

“Oh for plumbbob’s sake! You’ve got to be kidding me!”

“Andrea?! Have you watched the news? They have to be joking, right?!”

Stuff that happened while I was playtesting (testing if the normal community lots were fine):

Christy Stratton and Joe Carr get along so great that she rejects her previous flirt, Remington Harris.

Joe Carr thinks flirting with other sims is fine. As long as it’s him and not his now ex-lover.

Brandon Lillard seems to have gotten over his newspaper-stealing, trash can-kicking fit of anger over Sandy being late on their date (this is a completely new neighbourhood, so in theory, this never happened).

Sandy should probably just run from all this weirdness. Seriously, those two guys have no concept of a normal love life.
