The Kaufmann family (Decade Challenge is finished)
Hello fellow simmer, Originally I have started this challenge three months ago in July and I write about it in the 'What happened in your game today'-thread. But @MelsieYT asked me if the story is...
I'm back from my break. This game became quite busy with all these children, so I barely did good pictures in these 24 sim days.
A little bit of background story. In 1954 the Miracle of Bern happened, where Westgermany won the 1954 FIFA World Cup Final surprisingly. This success help the citizen to a better connection with the young democratic westgermany and restored some faith for the future. Also the Nutrition status became pre-war-like, but also something happened which we called in german Fresswelle (eating wave) and the germany citizen became overweight, which was a sign of wealth in those years. The game support this and my sims got thicker in the game.

1954/1955 - the treaty of Paris brought back souveranity (except for Berlin and a few other cases) and ended the Allied occupation. Also the West European Union was founded.
1955 Return of the last tenthousand prisoners of war (sovjet union), many of them has trouble with this new life and became criminal or died early from the hunger years. Since the dices made no longtime prisoners of war in my game, I ignore this event. Hallstein-Doctrin became alive, basically it means no treaty when recognize officially eastgermany.
1956 Referendum of Saar. This brought back the Saarland to Germany in 1957.
Toni, a wild boy and troublemaker, explored the garden.
Christmas in 1956 had a big surprise for all, the family bought a television, which was quite expensive compared to today, I think it had the price of 2 or 3 monthly salary.
During the post war years, the houses needed to be built fast, but they lack of good quality material, which will revenge in the later years. I didn't count how many time this toilet was already broken.
