1) The Stratton and Diaz households are the final two families of Year 1 Summer in the New Willow Bay neighborhood. 2) Christy Stratton wins a prize but cannot fulfill her aspiration of having puppies. Her twin toddlers Charlotte and Diana are mischievous. 3) Nina Diaz opens a dance studio to pursue her dream career in dance and help unlock the first business district, while her husband Salazar and son Leo assist with the business.

1. The New Willow Bay
Year 1 Summer 2 (Part 3)

2. Welcome back to the final part of Year 1 Summer 1 of the New Willow Bay. Yup, with summer coming to a close in the last
two households of the round, the first year in the neighbourhood is almost over. It’s just the Strattons and the Diazs left
in queue.
Christy: I’m a winner!

3. Obviously the Strattons are just population fodder seeing as neither Christy nor Neil have an aspiration that is worth
fulfilling (although I forget Neil’s, but if it’s career related then he can’t do it anyways).
Christy: So no puppies?
Unless you can swirl one out of your plumbbob yourself, you’re on your own.
Christy: Hmm…
Oh no.

4. But where Christy and Neil lack the right ambition to build a city, their twins Charlotte and Diana may have what it takes.

5. Charlotte (on the left) and Diana (on the right).
Holy crap… I have some really awful custom content that I refuse to delete.
I didn’t screenshot their personalities because my laptop wouldn’t let me. Both of them have high playful.

6. And so begins the trials of raising twin toddlers.
Good thing Neil doesn’t have a job because he is going to be one busy, busy man.

7. Seeing as she was going to be around for a while, I finally caved and gave Christy a much needed makeover. That tracksuit
made her look like some sort of British chav.
Christy: Is there no Canadian equivalent you could use?
Nope.

8. Obviously without a business, the summer flew by quickly for the Strattons.

9. I also quickly realized that these two would be the death of me in an apocalypse challenge. You are both getting
makeovers immediately.

10. Charlotte went back to her toddler hair while Diana buzzed all of her hair off. Both of them are going to be little tomboys
(although Charlotte will be the slightly girlier one).

11. Charlotte: Is it over? Are we done now?
Yup. It’s now Fall 2 in the Stratton household so they can be exited while I move on to the next family.

12. Over at the Diaz family’s house (6 Shadow Court), Nina buys up a piece of property so she can fulfill her lifetime want
while Salazar lazily watches.

13. Welcome to the Golden Plumbbob Ballet Studio. It is neither golden, nor plumbbob shaped, but it will hopefully get us a
position in the dance career for Nina.

14. Both Nina and Leo will be on sales, although it doesn’t seem to be going well. At least not with Sinjin Couderc.
Nina: So, Sin-djinn.
Sinjin: It’s pronounced Saint Jean.
~~
Fun fact: I just learned that today.

15. At least I can use this time to get Salazar some body skill points since he has zero athletic for his personality.
Sal: This is torture.

16. Of course, the best way to expand the business is the market it to kids.
Leo: All the top stars are dancers.
Giovanni: Even the sun?
Leo: Uh… sure?

17. Every few dollars into the business meant constant expansion. Seriously, I will never build another dance studio after this.
Hardest business ever. At least with a club they earn stars from the dj booth, the bar, and the hot tubs.

18. Eventually things started to get better. I was able to finally reach level 5 with the business and use all the money perks
for the Diaz family.

19. Plus I got the dance sphere which helped raise the business from 5 to 6. Then I left cause I felt comfortable and knew I
had done all I needed with it to get Nina a job in the dance career and Willow Bay it’s first business district.

20. Back at home, Nina found her job in dance and had to start working on her body skill. Unlike her husband and son, she
didn’t use the ballet bars at the studio.
Nina: Why is this so exhausting?
Maybe because you have 1 athletic point to your personality. Why would you want a movement based career?
Nina: Because it is glamourous 

21. With Nina’s job flipping her back and forth between promotions, Leo remains the stay at home parent for Salazar.
Sal: Dad, I don’t think this is quite right.
Leo: But I swear, 2 + 2 is 5. I saw it online somewhere.

22. Since he wants 6 grandkids, it’s time to get Nina pregnant. That’ll really help the dancer body.

23. Looks like someone got an A+
Sal: No thanks to my *huff puff* dad… why am I running? God this hurts.

24. Leo has a thing for pregnant women.

25. Sal: So are you a boy or a girl?
Diana: What are you, Prof. Oak?

26. Did Nina top her career? Nope. Just a Flamenco Master.
Nina: That’s, like, level 8 or 9, right?
9. One more promotion and you’ll be perma-plat.

27. Diana: I didn’t sign up for this!
Before the last night of the summer was over, Nina gave birth to a son named Benito Diaz. No idea what his personality is,
but that should be revealed in the fall season.

28. Leo: Can we have 10 more kids?
Nina: …

29. So, as it stands right now there is one business tycoon (Melissa Fancey) and five sim-owned businesses. That means one
thing and one thing only…

30. The first business district has been unlocked. These are The Moon Islands. Currently empty, they will eventually be the
