I made over the Museum for Asian Arts and Crafts. It is now the Museum of Simlish Culture and now houses a wide array of historical artefacts, important pop cultural products and an assortment of significant art.

My first idea was to make the residents of Middleground work there, but I couldn’t find a sufficent solution for how to do it (none of the game’s careers fitted and other ideas didn’t cross my mind). I’m pretty sure I have found a good alternative, though. Stay tuned.

“What are you doing?”

“Looking for a job. This whole tax panic is driving me nuts. I want to have a reliable income when this whole country goes mad.”

“And you think someone will actually hire you?”

“Why do I even put up with you?”

“Because deep down inside, you love me? And you can’t cook to save your life.”

“… yeah, I guess. Hey, do you wanna come over for lunch? … oh, no, I see. Gonna make a fortune with your newsstand today, huh? Yeah, people tend to do that when they panic…”

“Komei’s got a cru-hush!”

“Oh shut up! No! Not you- I- just my annoying roommate… oh, tonight? Sure, that would be… nice, I guess…”

“I heard it on the radio half an hour ago.”

“And you didn’t call me?!”

“Calm down, Sandy. We don’t know if this will impact us yet.”

“Of course it will! There are already talks about taxing the suburbs of SimCity, too! … Andrea, you’re smart. Tell me, what do you think I should do?”

Andrea sighed. “Wait. Wait until they announce more, and if they decide to impose it on the suburbs, too, sell. And look for a job. Any type of job. You’re gonna need it.”

The other end of the line went quiet for a moment and Andrea thought that Sandy had lost the connection when she heard a faint sob. 

“Good night, Sandy. Try to get some sleep. I’ll drop by tomorrow, okay?”

“Okay. Good night, hun.”
