01-16. Resort Tycoon

Only 4 more days for Maxwell. Here are a few highlights of his activities.

Electrified by a jelly bean.
Revitalized by a mud bath.
And this one really cracks me up. I've never seen the Walk of Shame before. Kirby turned him down for woohoo.
Max went to her place late one night. She let him in and said he could stay, but I saw by her thought bubble that she was exhausted. After she rejected him, Kirby fell asleep and I just had Max go home. Poor slob!

Big news is that Max bought the resort. It was already at 4 stars at the time of purchase. I did have Max upgrade the Tower right away to increase the number of rooms and to toggle on spa services (to increase revenue). But I'm holding off doing any other improvements because it would probably kick the reviews to 5 stars and Max would have his Lifetime Wish. He's very close!

Max spent a little time tending the bars and practicing his mixology skills.

He had to deal with the inevitable roaches. They always spawn with resorts. Maintenance or owner has to stomp them to get rid of them...until they show up again.
Max upgraded a couple of things (unbreakable) while maintenance spent time cleaning and repairing.
I recently installed a mod to turn off zombies spawning during the full moon. But the resort had an encounter of another kind. (And notice the spring snow!)
Here are the resort reviews at the time of purchase. They're fun to read. Silly, but they do offer suggestions for future improvements.
Income and expense after the Tower upgrade. The difference would be daily profit (1530) for an owner without the Hotel Mogul reward.
But since Max has the Hotel Mogul lifetime reward, he gets 50% more in profits (2295/day).

Notice that the Tower upgrade put a second story on the rabbit hole building. That was kind of cool to watch.
I didn't know that the building would change like that.

Maxwell also purchased the Honorary University Degree Lifetime Reward (Business). He also got to choose a 6th trait. I wanted to give him something different, maybe to round him out a bit more. I chose Family Oriented. It's a trait I don't pick very often, but I thought it would go well with Max's life plan.
