Reaching influence with the social groups...

Back in the Bernard family, Julien is quietly studying a few useful skills, like cooking and handiness.


Ginny Bernard, Julien's wife (a former babysitter), changed her lifetime goal. Instead of devoting her time to raising five children, she decides that she actually wants to be a social climber and gain maximum influence across all the social groups.
She hasn't realised how much work it is to keep up your social status while holding down a full-time job in education.

She spends a lot of time at the gym, working on her athletic ability and annoying everyone with her version of the school cheer. It pays off, though. She makes many jock friends this way.



She also hadn't realised beforehand that gaining influence with the rebels would involve her in some very nasty (and smelly) situations.


She also got arrested for tagging a wall somewhere - so she stopped doing that, as an assistant principal you can't really get arrested for creating grafitti!

The nerd group isn't so bad. Not only can she bore on endlessly about her comic book collection to fellow nerds like Bryan, but she can also spend some quality time with her kids playing video games...



And of course there's the time-honoured principle of buying your way in. Gaining social status by sacrificing some of your lifetime happiness points, in this case.

All in all she's doing fairly well. She's at level 9 with everyone, but of course doesn't have a single useful reward yet.

Gwendoyn Adams is mostly studying to be a rebel. She wants to have street cred (Street Credible is her official lifetime wish). Level 10 street art, and 7 masterpiece murals is what she needs.

And Leonard Harrel is practicing to become a better magician.






He's getting there. He even has his own "box of danger" now.


It's a dangerous contraption. Let's hope he stays safe!

Elsewhere in town, Gillian McGovern has a son they name Buddy. She's working on her new lifetime wish to become an Alchemy Artisan, while Trevor has suddenly decided he wants to be a Rockstar.

Constance is still in the fortune teller career, and happy to take care of her nephew.


The Kim twins have also aged up to toddlers.



And David Adams is out and about - checking out the community that he founded so long ago.
