Level 1: Golf Caddy
Level 2: Gas Station Attendant
Level 3: Convenience Store Clerk
Level 4: Record Store Clerk
Level 5: Party DJ
Level 6: Projectionist
Level 7: Home Video Editor
Level 8: Freelance Photographer
Level 9: Freelance Web Designer
Level 10: Professional Party Guest

For the record, teens can only advance as far as Level 3 in any career.

So do I, albeit for different reasons.

I haven't seen Madame Foster or Eduardo outside of the house yet, although I've spotted everyone else wandering around town.

Day One at the Never Forgotten house continued with the arrival of the Welcome Wagon. No one from Foster's or any other family from the show was present, but it did include this lady:



Some of you may remember Amanda Blue from much earlier in the saga, before the SecuROM disaster. Still wants to be a cop, still very a friendly but no-nonsense sort of woman, and still a tremendous distraction for me on every lot that she visits. You don't want to know how many pictures I've taken of her. Also present was a couple originally from the old part of the Valley, Bjorn and Ingrid Gustafsen:



Bjorn aspires to be Mayor of the Valley someday; Jekylljuice is chiding him for his position on one of the issues. Dunno which one but there was a picture of a rat in her speech balloon so it might've been an opinion on politics in general. In the background Linestra is getting lunch on the table, and shortly thereafter the meal began:



Bjorn and Amanda, along with some of the house residents, were outside playing on the swings; none of them seemed to care about the fact that it was raining at the time. Talk at the table centered largely on the local school system; Bjorn and Ingrid have two teenage daughters of their own, one of whom is pictured earlier in the thread, and naturally Ingrid wants to know if the schools in this part of the Valley are any good. Trust me, Ingrid, they're fine. Lunch ran rather late from all the talking despite it's early start and after it was done Lynnie cleaned up and began preparing dinner:



Spaghetti is on the menu tonight. At this point Lynnie is only a little behind Frankie in Cooking ability, so the house will no doubt be well fed... and will no doubt need a treadmill before long. While Lynnie cooked, Sparky headed to the office to check on the Forum but never got there; Xdx intercepted her with a pillow:



And got off one seriously good hit:



Sparky retaliated:



And they went back and forth for the next hour. Sims love a good pillow fight; you should see Wilt and Eduardo go at it. All of them do it, usually without any prompting from me, and I've rarely seen anyone say that they're not in the mood. Dinner, like lunch, was a haphazard affair; people showed up and ate at random. Bjorn hadn't eaten all day (he spent most of it on the swings) so Lynnie went out to get him:



I think there was a comment or two about slaving over a hot stove but she was very polite about it. I don't think these two are too fond of each other but they'll get over it. Sparky wasn't hungry at the time so she headed upstairs to the easel and began to paint:



It won't be high art but it's good practice, and it builds Creativity skill, which she'll need to get ahead in her job; earlier she went online and found a position as a dishwasher, which is the first step along the Culinary career track. In the meantime Lynnie studied, Jekylljuice and Imaginary Light watched TV with (through) Ingrid, Linestra and Xdx finally got around to having dinner, and the day began to wind down. Oh, and I got another picture of Amanda:



What can I say? I like blue hair.

More on the way. (Insert Red smilie here)
