What’s a sim to do when they’ve climbed the class ladder up to the sophisticated hills of Bluewater Village, and settled themselves firmly on a border between the upper crust and the wannabes? Scratch and claw your way over that border and bury the dead body of your wannabe past in the back garden, obviously. When they’re not bringing home the money and buying as much pretentious llamadung as they can for the house, Checo and Lisa are often found focusing their attention on Tessa. She’s the next generation after all, set to build on the foundation they lay. So of course she needs admission to private school.

Lisa Ramirez

Personality: Capricorn, 7/2/2/6/8, Tinkering Hobby

Aspiration/Secondary: Knowledge/Fortune

LTW: Become Chief of Staff

Degree: Biology

It’s not that Lisa doesn’t like the furniture shop, it has funded her exquisite taste in decor with almost minimal effort, but… she didn’t get that biology degree for kicks, and she doesn’t exactly live for working the shop floor while Checo restocks and fumbles with the cash register. Why does she have to sell to the customers? She’s the one who gets nervous around people. Now that she’s needed less around the shop and home, she’s excited to get her career off the ground. She only hopes that her role in the shop becomes even more obsolete when Tessa grows up to take her place on the team. Checo will be fine, it’s not like he ever really has time for her these days…

Checo Ramirez

Personality: Aquarius, 3/6/5/4/6, Arts Hobby

Aspiration/Secondary: Fortune/Family

LTW: Become Business Tycoon

Degree: Economics

Checo is obsessed with the furniture store, and still that’s an improvement over how conjoined he used to be with the damn place. Since Tessa was born she’s been his number one concern. A loving father and a dutiful mentor, Checo is grateful to have such an enthusiastic heir to his foundations. Personally though, he’s sensitive about his place in society, self-conscious about being ‘self-made’, and self-critical to a fault. If he’s not advancing he’s not happy. His fixation on his business, money, and how people look at him has slowly been driving a wedge between him and Lisa.

Tessa Ramirez

Personality: Aries, 5/7/5/4/4, Music Hobby

A musical and business prodigy in the making, Tessa is a little… too aware of her potential. Her parents’ big aspirations, their praise, the tutoring they paid for, as well as the perks and pitfalls of being an only child, have matured her quickly. She’s smart, capable, and has somehow managed to give off the aura of a successful CEO before graduating elementary school. Children are exhausting. At least her dad adores her. She knows kids aren't supposed to have a favourite parent, but she has a complex ranking of her parents complete with charts. Checo has been number 1 since the day she started keeping it.
