RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(NEW HOPE)

Lee King could still remember having had a happy life in the small fishing town where she'd been born and always lived until a new girl in town decided to start trouble for her just because she'd taken a big disliking to Lee and started spreading false rumors of Lee being gay and everybody started believing in the rumors.Lee was forced to leave when she found she'd become an outcast in her hometown and she's travelled for a very long time and used up most of the money she had.She found an ad in the paper selling a cheap apartment for 10000$ and decided to buy it since she needed shelter and a place to live so she could get a job.

Lee saw the apartment she'd bought and started gathering the laptop,sleeping bag and grabbed a book to learn some new skills.

She was felling relieved at knowing she had a home and could get a job to earn some of the money she'd spent back and start saving it up.She got into learning to do repairs on things in the apartment so she could avoid paying a repairman to fix things.

The next skill Lee wanted to learn was logic which would help her in the long run with being better at managing her money.

She decided to fix a salad for dinner since she didn't know how to cook on a stove yet and didn't want to start a fire.

Lee ended up going to the bookstore where the spa was also located and got a job there working part-time.

Lee had come cleaning to do when she got home and changed some outfits to what felt better to her.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(STARTING OUT)

    Lee woke up in her sleeping bag and thought for a moment she was still wandering around and was sleeping outside on the ground.She quickly remembered that the ground was a carpeted floor in the apartment she'd bought and she thought she'd try to find a library to visit to study until she saw the bookcase in the apartment and decided to read a skill book from there and continue learning to fix broken things in her home.
    screenshot_original.jpg
    Lee managed to study for hours and saw that she'd have to use the washroom and shower before the carpool took her to work at her job.She ended up getting to work on time and finished her shift in the evening.
    screenshot_original.jpg
    She had to get out of the carpool after work and toss out the old newspaper before going up to her apartment.
    screenshot_original.jpg
    Lee had to mop the floor in her washroom and get dinner ready and she had salad.There were leftovers to put away in the fridge after dinner.
    screenshot_original.jpg
    She ended up so tired that she put the leftover salad in the fridge and left the dirty plate on the table and went to bed.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(SETTLING IN)

    Lee woke up in the morning to the fact that her sleeping bag was making her forget that she was no longer travelling on the road and wandering around without a fixed address.She decided to play chess on her computer to build up logic skill so she could manage money better without making stupid mistakes like blowing her money on expensive cars.She also got ready thinking she had work only to find she didn't have to go that day.She ended up chatting on the computer for a while.
    screenshot_original.jpg
    Lee's next thing was working on her writing skill so she could earn money on writing when winter came and she would have another way to earn money when she needed to.Lee ate leftover salad for dinner and cleaned up after eating and got herself ready for bed after eating dinner.
    screenshot_original.jpg
    Lee got so tired that she finally decided to go to bed in her sleeping bag on the floor and get the sleep she needed.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(SETTLING IN PT2)

    Lee woke up early on the floor in her sleeping bag and decided to get up and get ready for the day before she played chess on her computer for a while.She was trying to improve on her logic skill for the morning.
    screenshot_original.jpg
    She ended up changing to working on repair skills after a while before lunchtime and had to stop to get herself ready to go when the carpool came to take her to work to earn the money she needed to be able to afford to move later.Lee worked very hard at her job and earned a raise which would help her to save up faster.
    screenshot_original.jpg
    She ended up coming home from work and having to get herself ready to get onto her sleeping bag to get the sleep she needed.Lee was hoping she could save up enough to buy a proper bed to use in the apartment until near moving day.Lee could see having to get through at least a few more nights using the sleeping bag as her bed.

    I should get an update on this story soon though I've found Ea's SP is acting like it's fully turned off which is fine for me.
    I actually would rather have manual story progression anyways.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(SETTLING IN AND LOOKING BACK)

    Lee King was from a small fishing village in the U.K. and ended up leaving after somebody started spreading nasty gossip about her and forced to to leave to start over with a new life.She spent most of her money on the Atlantic crossing and had only enough to pay 10000$ on a very cheap apartment to stop over to earn some extra money.
    11166288643_1859355cae.jpg
    Lee arrived in the summer and got settled into her city life and got herself a job to earn the money.She knew she wouldn't see her family again and that saddened her to know she'd miss them terribly.
    11166113215_8573e3ffd4.jpg
    She decided to just get settled into the apartment and rebuild her life into something she could feel like she had enjoyed later on when her life reached the end.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(SETBACKS)

    Lee got up early as usual and got busy working on her skills and forgot to pay her bills.She was rushing out to try to get them paid before the repo man came,but she was too late.
    11182035644_ff64b522de.jpg
    She enjoyed working on her writing for a while and got the skill up a bit more before being interrupted by the bills needing to be paid quickly.
    11182039474_98708683f2.jpg
    Lee tried to learn about doing the repairs to household items herself.She didn't get to work on it for long because she needed groceries and had to walk to the grocery store.It took her a while to get the shopping done because she didn't have her bike.
    11182025366_6b5fa7a553.jpg
    Lee ended up running home from the store because she had to get ready for work and was a ways from home.
    11182155723_fc618b7962.jpg
    Lee was busy getting ready for work and didn't rush out the second her carpool honked at her,but she did rush through her shower and run out the door once she'd finished with showering.
    11182160023_35f0a72637.jpg
    Lee thought she'd get some of her leftover salad out of the fridge to eat it and failed to notice the salad had spoiled before she got ready to sit down and eat it.
    11182062804_e85e4c77b4.jpg
    She found her food tasting a bit off and didn't think anything of it except to continue eating.She thought she could stand some spoiled food for a few days if it meant she could save up faster for a new bike.
    11182176553_d7d2cf0afd.jpg
    She went to bed in the sleeping bag thinking of a new bike instead of getting a proper bed.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(REBOUND)

    Lee woke up very early in the morning and was excited about hearing that a new Garden House had just been placed on an empty lot in town and decided to check it out after breakfast.
    11214096555_6b9ea8c9cb.jpg
    She decided to save some time by eating the leftover salad and completely forgot that it was now spoiled and ended up failing to notice that it was bad when she ate it.She did have to clean up the dirty plate after eating.
    11214099775_053c5b3543.jpg
    She headed out to the newest hangout in town and saw a garden full of produce to harvest for sale at the grocery store.She got to work in the garden and kept going for most of the day.
    11214106425_f00af09f7a.jpg
    Somebody else decided to go dumpster diving while she was working on the garden which meant she couldn't be the only slob in town.
    11214114854_450ca43d44.jpg
    Lee finally finished up and had to use the washroom and have a bath before running to the store to sell the produce.
    11214119594_528d348aaa.jpg
    Lee really did end up running to the store and selling everything for 500$ which allowed her to replace her bike.
    11214135546_756d49d174.jpg
    She had to use the washroom at home and get ready for bed.
    11214251883_7307a964d5.jpg
    Lee still had to use the sleeping bag for her bed for a while because of the setback.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(REBOUND PT2)

    Lee tried to flush the toilet before using it and it got clogged and she was too upset to unclog it so she just went to Garden House to use their washrooms and rushed back home after to unclog her toilet before she had to get ready for work.
    11303931844_95520daa99.jpg
    Lee got the toilet unclogged and got ready for work in time to discard the old newspapers building up outside.She also went to work when the carpool arrived to pick her up for her job.She got back later on and decided to clean up the floor in her washroom after work.
    11303879075_3c6d53de63.jpg
    Lee did mop the floor and decided to eat leftover salad after cleaning up the washroom floor.It was too bad Lee still didn't notice that her leftover salad was bad.
    11303882105_d8622edb22.jpg
    She did start to notice when she tried to eat it and got disgusted by the salad and continued to eat it anyways because she had always been a bit of a slob.
    11303986723_c5e24765dc.jpg
    Lee ended up chatting online on her computer after eating until it was time to go to bed.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(REBOUND PT3)

    Lee decided to get up a little early after going to bed a little late the previous night by mistake.She used the washroom before getting leftover salad out of the fridge to eat it after forgetting that it had gone bad.
    11333737513_11e9495d28.jpg
    Lee sure got disgusted when she tried to eat that salad and just continued to eat it because she couldn't afford to throw food away even if it was bad.
    11333694704_77039b437b.jpg
    She went to Garden House to try to harvest some produce and was there a bit late for selling any to the store.She had to rush to work after cleaning up and didn't get to sell it after work because she had to get back home.There was a child using the kitchen island to run a computer while Lee was washing up to get ready for work.
    11333678546_b64c44d7e2.jpg
    Lee didn't get a chance to talk to anybody before she had to get ready for work and she was just heading straight home after work.
    11333754193_816c89a04b.jpg
    It was time for Lee to get on her bike and rush to work and the others also would start leaving soon enough.Lee ended up riding her bike home after work and wasn't about to run to the store after work when it was bedtime.
    11333690586_7ca44d73c3.jpg
    Lee was going to have to use the sleeping bag for a few more nights and would resume using it when she started packing up to move to another town.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(REBOUND PT4)

    Lee got up and decided to just eat leftover salad after forgetting that it was spoiled and would likely be slightly disgusting to eat.She got a plate out and got ready to eat something she didn't notice it was bad.
    11347175756_be044ee5e1.jpg
    Lee found the salad a bit on the disgusting side,but she was too hungry to care about that anyways.
    11347252593_3ebcf341c0.jpg
    She ended up rushing to Garden House to get some harvesting done from the garden early in the day.
    11347105875_446cbd5a64.jpg
    She was still bust harvesting produce from the garden to sell it to the grocery store later towards the afternoon.
    11347192206_bf12954ed0.jpg
    Lee got herself cleaned up to get the produce sold to the store before it got too late and she had to get to work.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(BUILDING UP SAVINGS)

    Lee got up and thought she could go to Garden House and harvest the produce very quickly and easily only to find that she couldn't without the proper skill.It would turn out to be a very long and hard day and she'd be up way too late that night because of her lacking the gardening skills.
    11361728153_a383dd9a67.jpg
    She arrived at Garden House early enough to have been able to get the job done if she'd had the skill to do it quickly and efficiently.
    11361732733_7a08a2acc6.jpg
    Lee even had to stop to eat at least once during the gardening and had to keep working until very late that evening because of the skill issue.
    11361642476_f567635c33.jpg
    She eventually decided to get to the store es soon as she could to get the produce sold before it got too late.
    11361744543_98524479ca.jpg
    Lee was exhausted when she got home very late that evening after trying to rush to the store to sell the produce.

    She decided to get into bed as quickly as she could after getting home.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(REACHING FOR BIG SAVINGS)

    Lee woke up in a lousy mood and found she'd overslept until quite late in the morning and would have very little time for anything she wanted to do like learning to garden and the library was very ill-equipped for the residents in the city who would need a library for learning skills because the current one was only for pleasure reading.
    11378632025_6eac204d3d.jpg
    She did what she could at Garden House which wasn't much and got ready for work at about noon so she wouldn't be late.Garden House got an upgrade while she was at work and she couldn't wait to check out the upgrade.
    11378689994_1187349beb.jpg
    Lee found out it was two bookcases containing skill books and she got into learning about gardening right away.
    11378650026_191443c31b.jpg
    She did stop to eat and went right back to reading about gardening to learn the skill before cleaning up and stopping at the bookstore to buy a gardening book of her own to read at home.She had to mop the puddle n her washroom floor before doing anything else.
    11378648065_f41c1eed2a.jpg
    Lee decided to spend some of her free time learning more about gardening before going to bed and going to sleep on the floor in her sleeping bag.
    11378705094_eb7bdf4a93.jpg
    She was very tired and ended up going to bed very early that night.

    Hi there seaweedy,
    I used Bridgeport and renamed it as Portland in the save,but I left the other people in because I was only playing Lee for the story of her time stopping over in the city to try to recover her cash savings.She started by eating leftover salad without noticing the salad was spoiled and later lost her bike and couldn't get to the store to buy more groceries.I added a community garden for Lee and any other future "teen" runaways like her though I'll just have to add another library because the one already there is useless for skills because there aren't any skill books there.Lee is actually trying to save up as much as she can to have something towards having money for the new place when she moves to her new hometown.I'll make it look like she moved to a new town in game when I'll actually have to pack her belongings up just before she moves and save it before going to edit town to pull off the real move.I'll do it this way so I can move her into a new town in a save and keep this other save going for the next runaway story about another kids having to live in the city.

    RUNAWAYS IN THE CITY:LEE KING(UNEMPLOYED)

    Lee decided to start her day by calling to her employer to give notice of resignation because she was ready to quit the job so she could have time for other things like checking some things out before she moved away to the smaller town.She also worked on her computer for a while to build up writing skill.
    11413305516_39e853b786.jpg
    She went to Garden House to work in the garden harvesting produce until the garden was harvested and the stuff could be sold to the store at the end of the day.
    11413310526_4babfa7877.jpg
    She stopped for lunch and went right back to work to get the garden harvested before the day was done.

    seaweedy I never used to use the Mods either,but I've had no choice unless I want my game getting ruined and turned into a unplayable disaster.I found tutorials on YouTube very helpful and NRaas Mods are the most reputable ones.I took the time to learn about Mods because I had to for a playable game.
