I sold the parking space for now, as BlackSand suggested, until the car gets fixed, to give Maxwell a a little room for a garden.
Challenge Feedback:
I've had rain turned off in all my games for quite a while. Got tired of the umbrellas. And I've never played with hail turned on. So this will be a different kind of play for me in many ways. I also turned on the complete moon cycle instead of keeping it on Waxing Gibbous as I usually do. Might as well go all in since I am with the weather! I'm a bit worried about Maxwell. I'm so used to spoiling my sims at this point. Max is vulnerable to the elements, burglars, zombies, and maybe even meteors! He has rolled a wish to visit the graveyard on a full moon. Well, he's going to get that wish because I need to look for a death flower for him.
Maxwell is a YA, Libra. I gave him the Brave trait, mainly because he's going to have to be his only line of defense against burglars and other calamities. He's joined the Business Career. I don't think I've played that career before. Might have. But it fits with the big city feel of Bridgeport. Max's other traits are Workaholic, Schmoozer, Charismatic, and Genius. I gave him the Lifetime Wish of owning a 5-Star Resort, which fits with his business career, but will be easy NOT to complete during the challenge. His storyline is that he's come to the city to advance his career, gain some experience, and earn enough simoleons to buy his own resort. He's sacrificing everything towards that goal.

Max got a wish to send a friendly text to the mascot:
"Hey, man, you can't leave that bucket here! Can't you see I'm a bit cramped?"

"But Bro! Where's your school spirit?"
"I don't have time for school spirit right now. Sorry. It doesn't fit in with The Plan!"

Ahem, Maxwell, don't you have anything better to do right now?
"Oh, right. Sorry about that. Got distracted by the rain. Guess I'll work on that car."
